There's a wealth of humor and pathos,
too, In the midst of camp discomforts, as
one may ascertain by a few moments' ram
ble through the company streets of this
tented city. Just a few of theso little bits
that go to malt a up tho unlimited troasury
of comedy and tragedy which are unfolding

wealth of unwritten news abounding In the
reglmontal camps:

night
Pittsburgh.
The 3d Regiment was scheduled to leave
early today, but Its departure has been
postponed for several hours. It will be do
ing well if it can move before early often
noon; officers said. It will not be sent by
way of Philadelphia.
Announcement was mado early today
that, barring unforeseen circumstances, no
troops would leave here for the border to
morrow. Philadelphia probably has seen the last
of Its guardsmen for some time. General
Clement said today that none of the regi
ments from now on would pass through
there. Some of the later ones to leave
might go that way, he said, but alnce the
1st Brigade is slated to go first, they will
travel by way of Pittsburgh. The men are
sent over each railroad, it appears, accord
ing to tho number of coaches each company
can furnish.
The ambulance and field hospital, which
left yesterday morning,, together with
Company B of Engineers and the 2d and
1st Regiments, all from Philadelphia, total
approximately 2, BOO officers and men, or
one-half of tho city contribution to the en
campment here.
LONG DELAY CRITICISED.
The departure of both the 2d and 3d
Regiments brought bitter comment and
criticism, owing to the long delay In each
case. "Red tape,' It Is declared, has hin
dered the departure of the troops. The feel
ing was bitter among officers, troops and
civilians when It was learned that the
coaches which had been furnished to trans
port the 2d Regiment had been rejected by
Colonel Hamilton. D. Turner, because they
were considered 'In such poor, oondltlon,
even from a sanitary point of view."
One coach also had been rejected early
In the afternoon by United States In
spector 8. W. Miller, and others' were
brought from Lebanon to replace It. Upon
another inspection the rejection of the
fourth was made. The difficulty was set
tled by the railroad promising to replace'
them at various points along the line.
Much criticism was heard of the hard
ship, said to be unnecessary,-which the
troops of both regiments had to undergo
owing to the long delay in leaving.
DEPARTURE OP THE SECOND.
The 2d Regiment broke camp early yes
terday and was scheduled to leave at 10
a. m. Shortly before noon the men, all
packed and ready, were marched down to
the station and kept there, though the train
did not leave until some six hours later.
Many of tha men had been up moat of the
night making final preparations for moving,
and many were exhausted. They spent
the six hours standing, sitting or lying on
the hot roads, many of them In the sun.
Many had no foodslnce morning. That
difficulty was solved, however, by Mrs.
George Dallas Dixon, who sent up 2600
sandwiches to Chaplain J, R. McFetrldgo
for distribution among tha men. Mrs. Dlx.
on Is chairman of the Pennsylvania JlatU
road Chapter of the Pennsylvania Women's
Division of National Preparedness.
The chapter also sent 6000 cigarettes,
several thousand postcards as well as many
boxes of matches. When MaJ, John Handy
Hall ordered the consignment to be brought
from the station thu men responded with
a ringing cheer,
Troops of tha 1st Regiment also were
kept alongside the train for many hours

Qeorga Ware, of ltth and FitsweUr

last Sunday's ultimatum had boon ready
for presentation to tho United States evor
slnoe tho order was Issued for tho release
of the Carrlzal captives, but that It was
withheld ponding tho completion of certain
military movements by tho Mexicans.
What action President Wllaon will take
upon a reply of this character Is known only
to himself, His speech of last night saying
that he would not countenance any use of
forco until all othor alternatives fall was
Interpreted as Indicating that if the Car
ranza reply when received Is In any way
responsive and conciliatory In tone, it will
be utilized as the basis for continuation of
the negotiations.
Officials asserted that thero never had
boen any change In the President's plan
to put the entire responsibility for hostili
ties, if they must come, at the door of Car
rania and his advisers. And they say that
because of this any counter-proposals that
might be suggested by the do facto Gov
ernment will be carofully considered.
That an Immediate crisis Is not looked
for was Indicated by the agreement of the
House leaders to recess today over the
Fourth of July. This would make Impos
sible a Joint session before Wednesday at
tho earliest should the President desire to
pass the situation up to Congress for ac
tion by the legislative branch.
The Stato Department still was without
word when the reply to Sunday's note could
bo expected. And, while the memorandum
Issued yesterday by the Mexican foreign
office was accepted as Indicating what the
reply to tho general note of June 20 would
be, It did not nocesaarlly follow, offlqlaln
said, that the position taken therein and
circulated at home) would be followed to
tho limit Indicated In outlining the attitude
Carranza will tako toward the Americans.
Despite the desire ot mis Government
that the reply be "expedited," It was said
at the Mexican embassy that no request
had been transmitted to Mexico and that
none would be presented.
Secretary Lansing curtly refused to dis
cuss the statement Issued by tho Mexican
foreign office yosterday.
Apparently tho Carranza Governmenttn Its
response to the American note of June 20,
has ovaded tho main Issue and Indulged In
a defiant and offensive, argumentative treat
ment of the points made by the Unltod
States Government In Secretary Lansing's
earlier and longer communication setting
forth this Government's attttudo toward
Mexico.
Possibly the Carranza Government contem
plates sending a separate communication
covering the Carrlsal Incident and the re
quest made by Secretary Lansing for a
statement of intentions. Unless thla re
quest Is compiled with In tho note, a sum
mary of which was given out in Mexico
City today, and la soon answered in a sep
arate communication, It Is believed that a
new and sharper communication will be sent
to the Carranaa Government amounting al
most to an ultimatum, demanding an imme
diate answer.
It is believed here that Secretary Lans
ing's sharp admonition to Senor Arredondo
that this Government was impatiently
awaiting the definition of the Carranza Gov
ernment's attitude, toward the further pros
enoe of our troops in Mexico was made be
cause of Mr. Lansing's knowledge that the
Carranza note, made publlo In Mexico
City last night, contained no referenoe to
the one question which this Government
wants answered.
The Mexican. Embassy here In translating
into Spanish . those portions of President
WtlBon's New York sp'eeoh which relato to
Mexico, and will cable them at once to the
Mexlcon Foreign Office. It la believed In
Mexican ciroles that the speech will have
a favorable effeot In relieving the tension be.
tween the Governments.
