SAN" ANTONIO. Tex., Juno 22 Major
General Funs ton today telegraphed to the
War Department an urgent request to Bend
State troops to the bonier as rapidly as
possible. He la particularly desirous that

that the crnck cavalry regiments of Illinois

The American commander believes that
Jho Carrlzal conflict Is only the first of a
aeries of clashes arid Port Sam Houston
bussed with activity today.
Anns, ammunition and supplies of all
kinds were hurried southward by every
train. Preparations were made for tho
Influx of the mllltln forces that will begin
within four days. The Stato forcos are to

Funston said ho had everything along
the border In readiness for any eventually
but declared he would tako no further step
until ho had received an official American
version of the Carrlial affair. Tho Oenonl
was up with his staff nearly all night re
ceiving latest advices from General Bell
at El Paso, but during the oarly fore
noon received no word from Oenorat Per
illing. Funston made It clear that his statement
that no Immediate steps would bo taken
did not mean that the 10th Cavalry would
not be avenged If tho Mexicans had made
a treacherous attack. Pcrshlpg has full

JAPAN BACKS MEXICO,
SAY GLEEFUL GERMANS
United States In War of Its Own
Means Allies' Defeat,
Think Teutons
BERLIN, Juno 22 All Germany awaits
with eager expectation tho dovclopments of
the American-Mexican crisis. Tho news
recolved of what Is happening and of how
far tho crisis has shapod Itself toward the
brink of war Is, of course, meagre.
War botween tho United States and Mex
ico would be welcomed In Germany, whoro It
has been contended for inbnths that If the
Allies were to bo suddenly cut off from the
American shipments of arms and ammuni
tion Oormany would v In tho war In less
than a quarter cf i yoar War with Mex
ico, It Is argued, v-uld compel the Unltod
States to keep Its own arms and munitions,
and probab'y would ereatly reduce Its whole
export trade, the sole beneficiaries of which
have been througl out the war the Allies.
As regards the German viewpoint con
1 cernlng tho trouble between the United
States and Mexico tho question to which
tho greatest significance Is attached Is.
"Will Japan do anything?"
Mistakenly or not, $ho belief has pre
vail hero for many months and has, been
voiced from t!rnorto tlmo In responsible or
franifhat Jnrian has a guiding hand in tho
deflnfoxICB.n. attitude
Japanr according to the German view,
could select no more appropriate moment
for the realization of Its long fostered
dream to setzo the supremacy of the Pacific
than this time when Europe la concerned
with herself, powerless to Intervene on
either side, and when tho Unltod States
has not et carried out Its program of
preparedness.
"CITY IS DISGRACED
BY RECRUITING" PRICE
Continued from Para One
to go from this city Some effort should be
made by those who stay at home. It Is not
right that Philadelphia should bo found
wanting
'The armories aro filled with men willing
to enlist, but thoy are not always the right
kind of men Only about two out of -six are
accepted. No end of men apply for com
missions, but wa have officers, and what wo
need Is men. We need recruits and wo need
them badly. Thers Is one big obstacle
which holds them back, and that Is their
inability to caro for their families while
away."
e EMPLOYERS BLAMED.
The same cause of slow enlistments was
riven by Colonel Charles T Creswell.
''Lack of Interest," he said, "Is due to the
attitude of some employers. You who stay
home can do your part." '
Samuel T. Bodlne, president of the United
Gas Improvement Company, declared that
the company would give full pay to its men,
S In all. while they were serving their
country, Mr. Bodlno's son Is a member of
the 1st City Troop. This afternoon he will
present regimental colors to Company L, of
the Id Regiment.
In the same spirit Thomas JJ Mitten,
president of tho Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company, said all men who answered the
call to arms will receive full pay while
away.
The Mayor interjected the remark'.
That's the best thing tho company has
ver done."
Samuel C. Long, general manager of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, said It waB the
policy of the company to encourage the
men Jo Join tho National Guard and the
Federal camps The company always
eared for Its employes when they were In
camp, ho said, and would continue its policy
Colonel Samuel D Lit said that the firm
of Lit Brothers would pay all its men In
full while they were away, and asserted he
would be glad In addition to contribute to
the general fund for the dependents of the
men, at home.
Similar sentiment was expressed by
Daniel Glmbel, of Gimbel Brothers, who
aid that all men in the guard would re
ceive full pay
Employes who enlist wijl also be paid
b William G Cramp and Son, American
Gas Accumulator Company, Central Na
tional Bank, E. A. Wright Bank Note
Company
Howard B. French said his employes
would also receive full pay.
8TOTESBURYS WILI4 HELP.
During the meeting the Mayor received a
meaage from Mrs. E. T. gtotesbury, who
said the committee could count upon herself
and Mr .Stotesbury to aid the cause in
every passible manner Letters were re

In addition to those mentioned, there
were present representatives of every bus-.

In view of their condition the lono ad

laBt-namcd Is anything but what Its title
Implies Tho entire collection when com
pared to tho smart-looldng dreadnoughts

But the night watchman aboard these
shlp3 Is cvon unnecesnnry, for no solf-rc-spectlng
tugboat would engage In combat
with any of thorn, nnd It Is a safe bet that
river pirates would not stop to molest
them
This condition of affairs was discovered
at the yard today In tho course of Inquiries
regarding President Wilson's plan to In
croaso tho navy by 20,000 men. Ono of
tho captains at League Island said this
was a step In the right direction, but con
tended It should have boon takon 10 years
nto
Ho pointed out tho necessity of large
numbers of trained men, and asserted that
Germany mourned the loss of her trained
men more than her big ships. He said that
a flhlp oould bo built In from three to four
years' time, whllo It required many years
to develop trained naval officers, such as we
aro lacking In The plan to get 20,000 men
for raw material, ho contended, vOaa all
right for raw material
In connection with the lack of officers,
the captain slid there will not be nnywhoro
near a sufficient number to drill the naval
militia which will shortly take cruises on
tho shlpi at the yard Incidental!, many of
tho craft thero present a rather forlorn ap
pearance and some arc almost ready for
tho scrap heap
Thcro are at present IS lighting Bhlps at
tho yard, including battleships, cruisers, tor
pedobonts and torpedoboat destroyers All
of the battleohlps and cruisers ore under

tho full quota of ofllcors and only about
40 per cent of tho seamen needed MarlneB

Those crews ore competont enough to take
tho ships on cruises to various ports or on
nemlploasure Jaunts, but could not tako one
of the battleships or cruisers Into battle
Most of the mon, who yearn for speed and
action, show little enthusiasm for tho coffins
of steel and Iron which are slumbering In

FffiSTREGIMENTBAND
'KICKED OUT' BY CHIEF
FOR REQUESTING LEAVE
Dismissal by Colonel Charles C.
Allen Amounts Virtually to
Dishonorable Discharge.
New Musicians Sought
ACCUSED OF "SLACKING"
William E Chapln, chief musician of
the First neglmont, Is taking steps today
to recruit 28 muslolans to take the places
made vacant by Colonet Charles C Allen,
when he unceremonloustv 'kicked out" of
the service Kendle'a First llcglment Band,
for nearly 30 yehro an ornament of tho
"Dandy First" on all parndo and gala occa
sions. The bandBmen, with the single exception
of Chapln, who has been 27 years In tho
regiment, received what virtually amounts
to dishonorable dlschargo virtually In the
faco of the enemy, and tho mombers of tho
command today are loud In tholr denun
olatlon of the action of the musicians, which
Is regarded by officers nnd enlisted men
nllke as a stigma on the hitherto clean
record of the rorflment
Colonel AlUn's action was taken under
Section IS, of the Mllltorj Code of tho
Stalo of Pennsylvania This section gives
to the commanding officer of a rcglmont the
power to "dismiss for the good of the serv
ice" members of his command for causes
which to him appar to be warranted
Members of the band appealed to Colonel
Allon to tho be relieved or service that they
might earn a llttlo cxtr'v monov during tho
Ad Men's Convention
Colonol Allen gave them permission to
remain at home He gave them leave to go
wherovcr they cared to go so long as they
never again crossed the path of him or hla
regiment. He used military language, but
It didn't express his opinion of tho band,
oolIoctlToly or Individually Neither did ho
employ terms similar to those used today
by tho ofllcors and men ns they assembled
about the armory.
Not a ord In defense of tho band's atti
tude was to be heard. Sympathy was ex
pressed for Chief Musician Chapln, the lone
exception to tho scathing denunciation of
Colonel Allen. Chapln felt the disgrace as
keenly as tho other members of the1 1st.
He promises to have 28 pieces of music
ready for sorvlce when the regiment
mnrcheB out to Mt Gretna on Saturday.
In tho brigade turnout tomorrow he may
havo to depend on the field music, but he
believes the dismissal of the mercenary
bandmen will have the offect of Inducing
royal musicians to flock to the armory and
offer their services
Coionel Allen declares that not ono of the
mon dismissed shall bo enrolled In tho rcgl
mont as long as he is Colonel, and this
sentiment Is echoed by every other officer.
"Tholr professed reason for not wanting
to go with the regiment," he explained,
"was that thoy wanted to keep an engage
ment to make somo extra money In the
parade next week of the advertising olubs
If the advertising mon want them, they arc
welcome to their sarvloes.
"We aro done with them. Wo want
musicians who are patriotic enough to
know their duty and we have not the slight
est doubt that we will be able to get such
men. Mennwhlle tho patriotic people of
Philadelphia may take notice that It Is
no longer the 1st Regiment Band of the
National Quard of Pennsylvania."
