Cfu&rdamen Face Hard, Pre
liminary Drilling Before
Big Maneuver's
WILL STAY UNTIL WINTER
By CARL L. ZEISBERQ
Bit a Staff Comttondent
Eti PASO, Tex., July 10. Tho concen
tration of art the Pennsylvania troops on
the outskirts of Port Bliss at Camp Pcr
hlng began today under the direction of
Major General Clement,
The 7th division ot the National Guard,
Composed exclusively of Pennsylvania
tr&ops, -will work as a whole In tho big
military maneuvers. For this reason It
was tho dcslro of General Clement and of
f tho regular army officers that tho various
units of tho division should bo situated In
one spot or as nearly as It Is possible to
erpwd tents for 12,000 men in ono spot.
Two much-moved units, the engineer bat
talion and field hospital and ambulance
company No. 2, encamped on a desolate
plain a mllo and a half from division head
quarters, today pulled out their tent pegs
to move again. They accepted cheerfully
the decree to change their location again,
first, because It brings them Into closer
touch with tho other fCeystone State troops,
and second, becauso they are not "tin sol
diers." The cavalry, Including the four Phlla
flolphla troops. Is expected today. Far
flung, the fame of tho First City Troop
Is abroad here, and many will be the
curious glances cast toward that crack
organization. Horses will bo furnished
the regiment from tho, remount station.
General O'Neill's 4th Brigade, field hos
pital and ambulance company No. 1, and a
supply train now enroute, will complete
Pennsylvania's quota ot troops.
Rumors that tho Pcnrtslvanla troops
would bo scattorcd, one regiment at Tsleta,
two at Washington Park, and tho cavalry
"somewhere," that Indefinite location, were
set at rest by General Clement
"Tho boys will get together." ho said.
To attain the objects of this encampment
the division must work as a unit. The en
tire division will not begin drilling until we
aro settled hero, which will require several
days." AW
The conviction that they are to remain1
hero for month3 drilling and waiting hns
settled among the men. Jt was not re
ceived with cheers by thoso whp hao de
pendents nt home. The regulation that
men with dependent families may nsk for
their discharge has left many fathers at
eca. For slnco they left Mount Gretna their
families havo becomo dependent.
Not until winter will the guardsmen re
turn to tholr homes, was the prediction of
a high officer today.
"The maneuvers will not begin until the
end of August," ho said. "Adding three
months, the tlmo which will be required If
tho maneuvers nro run off according to the
schedule, brings us to the threshold of De
cember. It would be foolish to start the
complicated maneuvers before the men are
properly drilled and prepared for them. It
would be like attempting to teach calculus
to a child who had not mastered arithmetic.
The arithmetic course In this case will ro
qulre at least a month."
SMALLPOX. DANGER CUT.
The danger of Philadelphia troops con-
y;i Iwr- -mitlnnw whlnt. t. .......... ..,1 ,
eoino of tho camps along tho border, has
beon reduced to a minimum.
This assuranco was 'given today -by
Major G. Alter, surgeon of the 2d Rcgl
mont Medical Corps, whoso organization
was tho first to complete tho required vac
cination. Inoculation and physical examina
tion ot tho troops allotted to it.
"Tho cases of smallpox reported must
have beon contracted before the troops 'In
question entrained for tho border," Major
Aller said. "It would havo been virtually
Imposslblo for tho men to havo caught It
after being vaccinated In tho various
mobilization camps.
"Smallpox appears about a week after
tho disease Is acquired. The men who now
havo tho disease- contracted It before they
were vaccinated and transported down here.
It developed on the trains en route.
"All others appear to be In no danger
whatever, as tho danger'period Is ended.
Every man In tho 1st Bridage was vac
clnated before he was allowed to entrain
"There aro no cases among the Philadel
phia troops, and It Is safe to say there will
not ba any likelihood of acquiring It In
camp. As I said before, tho week and
more that has elapsed since vaccination in
Pennsylvania precludes any of the men
breaking out with a casa that was acquired
before the troops entrained. I know of no
case where more than a week was re
QUa for th8 dlseaso to make Itself known.
The surgeon's confidence In the men's
Immunity from the disease In Camp Per

jncampment lies on a mesa overlooking El
Paso. The soil. Important In camps, is dry
and gravelly, and affords almost natural
drainage. TJia altitude of the camp, 3700
feet above sea level, explains the pure,
fresh air that sweeps through the tented
Btreets. During the day the sun's direct

up from the neighboring mountains.
EVERY MAN VACCINATED.
Every man who Jeft Mount Gretna not
only was vaccinated against smallpox, but
was Inoculated against typhoid fever, and
his physical condition was gone over with
a fine-tooth comb. Even slight defects dis
covered by the United States Army sur
geonj barred many a guardsman from seeing-
the border, and no one was mustered
Into the service without being vaccinated
and inoculated, no matter If "good" scars
caused by vaccine could be shown or the
applicant could prove that he recently had
been Inoculated. Hence, every man In the
1st Brigade Is not only physically at to
endure whatever hardships may come his
way, but ha has been especially armed
galnst those two scourges of military
campssmallpox and typhoid.

DINNER TIME
BORDER COMMANDERS
PLAN CO-OPERATION
U. S. and Mexican Officers Con
fer Americans Invited
Into Sonora
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., July 11. Without
formal agreement, It appeared probable to
day that tho plan of Joint gunrdlng of
tho border country proposed by Generals
Punston and Scott during their conferences
nt El .Paso might be worked out by offi
cers commnndlng troops on oppostto sides
of tho international lino.
General Bell nt El Pnso already has
discussod with General Gonzales a plan of
co-operative work, and Captain A. V. An
derson, commanding the Amorlcan troops
at Prosldlo, talked, with Colonel Rojas,
commandant of tho Mexican garrison 'at
OJVnaga, opposite Presidio, of the best
means of preventing raids.
It was Indicated at General Funston's
headquarters that similar' efforts would
be mado by nil American officers whoso
commands faco Mexican troops, and it
w'as regarded hore as possible that these
informal conferences would havo tho of
foet of bringing about tho Joint action
proposed by tho Mexican Minister of Wur.
DOUGLAS, Ariz., July 11. In a state
ment Issued today, General P. Ellas Callcs,
military commander of Sonora. said:
"AdWces I received today from Mexico
City were so satisfactory and mado me feel
so sure there cap bo no break between
Mexico and tho United States that I have
ordered the demobilization of my troops
now In the border districts, and their dis
charge from the national scnlco, and or
dered the reopening of ait publlo offices
along tho border.
"I havo also extended an Invitation to
foreigners to return to Sonora and will pro
tect them nnd their property
"AH of the volunteers who took up arms
for their country have been ordered to
their homes to plant their fields and aid tho
Government In bringing about a return of
normal conditions.
"Tho railroads of Sonora will reopen for
public traffic Immediately. I have or
dered the bulk of my troops to proceed to
tho Taqul Illvcr Valloy to take up tho
Indian campaign onco moro In order that
llfo and property of Mexicans and for
eigners might be safe.
"Each of my subordinate commanders
has been Instructed to punish any one,
soldier or civilian, who does not extend
every courtesy to foreigners."
General Calles sent the same message
to General T. P. Davis, commander of tho
Arizona district-
The managers of several of the largo
mining properties In Sonora held confer
ences with General Calles today by his
request and personally received tho Invi
tation of the Mexican Government to re
turn to work with their foreign employes.
FIRST CITY TROOP JOYOUSLY
. JOGS ALONG TOWARD BORDER
Captain McFadden Wires of Pleasant
Trip to Front
Major John C. Groome, head of the State
police, received a telegram yesterday from
Captain J. Franklin McFadden. ot the First
City Troop, saying the cavalrymen, on their
way to the border, are enjoying the best of
health, and the food and waer are good.
Ths telegram, dated Kansas City, Mo,
July 9, reads as follows:
Arrived here S MB p. m. So far, trip com
fortable. Good food, plenty water and
p Ice. Train has stopped every day an hour
or more for exercise and a swim. Troops
in best of health and spirits. Second
section haB lacked nothing, so far all
railroad officials doing their best to make
Journey comfortable. "Weather pleasant
Captain Myers, Troop G, concurs in
aboe. Expect to arrive at El Paso on
Tuesday afternoon. Have bjen trans
ferred to six tourist sleepers here.
Major Groome said several officers now
at the border have written to their relatives
in this city asking them to refrain from
sending candy and pastry to the troops.
The food served is excellent, they say, and
rich pastry Is conducive only to "bad
stomachs and general unfitness." Anxious
mothers should not worry about the fare
their sons are getting. Major Groome eald.
From the accounts or the men at the border.
It Is shown that thero is plenty of food for
all, and good water, too

PHILADELPHIA POLICE HORSES
SAFE AND HAPPY ON BORDER
Mounted Cops Whose Pets Went to Texas Needn't
Worry Some Animals Chew Tobacco and Say
"Neigh, Neigh," When Asked if They Are
Ashamed
By CARL
Evcnlno Ledger
EI, PASO, Tex, July 11. Tho horses of
Chestnut street and Wlsiahlokon drlvo,
Philadelphia pollco horses furnished to offi
cers of tho 1st Brigade nro well. Bate,
happy, contonted and growing fat on alfalfa
and puro mountain nlr.
So tho Philadelphia mounted policemen
whose pets they wore boforo Councils, In
a pntrlotlo mood, turned them ocr to
General Prlco nnd his subordinates, need
worry no longer nbout Into what hands
tho Intelligent creatures havo fallen. Every
horso Is being ridden by an'oiflcer nnd a
gentleman.
Tho only nnxlcty that may come will
nrlse as a result ns a mix-up In tho num
bers of tho horses, which In Camp Pershing
are nameless for the most part. They
are Identified by number, like nutomoblles.
Tho number of the horso Is buried on tho
left front hoof. Three numbers on the
list furnished Colonel Turner, of tho 2d
Regiment, who brought tho horses hnlf way
across tho continent, do not appear on
any of the left front hoofs In camp.
Tho missing numbers aro 51, 930 nnd Efii
What horses aro Uicbo? Whero aro they?
What error Is Invohed?
SOME P.ECHRISTENED.
Thero nro 19 horsos In camp and they
havo been apportioned nmong tho officers
of General Price's staff and among tho offi
cers of tho 1st, 2d nnd 3d Regiments. All
Is well, rae for tho enigma of tho three
extra numbers nnd tho nnmes of tho
horses Will not some Philadelphia mounted
policeman supply the nnmo which ovcry
one of the glistening steeds Is fairly burn
ing to tell, but cannot, because It can talk
only with Its brown eyes? Perhaps If tho
cavalry coppers knew that some of tho
horses, with perfectly good names, aro bo
Ing rechrlstened Cnrranza, Villa, Mesqulte,
Cactus, Mex, Ron, etc., they would hurry
and wrlto and tell the various officers tho
true names of tho mounts.
And now for tho grab-bag; or, rather, It
wasn't a grab-bag, but an orderly selec
tion of horses, beginning with Brigadier
General William G Price and going down
In order of seniority.
General Price's horse Is 938, and through
some underground source It was learned
that this horse 1b Dan. Some Philadelphia
mounted policeman, yearning for news of
his pet, will bo glad to hear that. Dan Is
tho only black horse in tho outfit The
others are bays.
HOW THEY ARE ASSIGNED.
Major Benjamin II. Whlttakor, adjutant
general, drew 903 i Major George S. Cramp
ton, surgeon, 947, and Major E. Claude
Goddard, ordnance officer, 563, completing
General Price's staff. Colonel Allen, of the
1st Regiment, la riding 84. Lieutenant
Colonel Charles P. Hunt was awarded E08
and Major J, IC Nlcholla 874. Battalion
Majors George B. Zane. Jr., and Thomas
F. Meehan and Major Frederick O. Waage,
surgeon, will have to take turns riding 809
and 683 from the present outlook, for It
hasn't been decided exactly what Is to be
done with three majors and two horses.
In the 2d Regiment the allotment of
horses Is as follows: Colonel Hamilton
D. Turner, 80 I Lieutenant Colonel Thomas
J. R. Ross, 930; Major John Handy Hall.
907; Major Maylln J. Pickering, 791, and
Major K. IC V. Casey, 944.
Tho horses in the3d Regiment were dls
trubuted thusly: 9$4, Lieutenant .Colonel
George E. Kemp; 731, Major John W Foos,
967, Major Robert M. Brookneld ; 948,
Major George Blair, and 988, Captain
Charles C, Meyers, quartermaster. "Hull"
Is the correct name of Major Brookfleld's
mount, a horso famed for Its pollto man
ners toward ladles.
ALL IN GOOD CONDITION.
It's a far cry from pining blocks and tho
muggy atmosphere of 'Philadelphia to this
garden spot of a tableland, and the horses
have responded to the stimulating air, once
their procesti of acclimation was ended and
they had recovered from the bangs anil
bumps of their long ride In two horsecara.
They eat hay. oats and alfalfa and the

Way Saves You the
Dealer's Big Profits
THE manufacturer of foods nnd drugs Is compelled to label his products
and allow you to know what they contain, but a piano dealer can offer
you an Instrument that Is made up of Inferior parts and charge you
the price he sees fit.
You aro in no position to know whether an instrument contains such
inferior parts until you havo been the possessor of 'the piano for some time,
and then you have no redress, as the dealer invariably places the blame on
the maker but who is the maker? The instrument Is stenciled some
fancy name that means nothing.
"The Cunningham Way" is the simplest and most satisfactory. Ton
have the reputation of over a quarter of a century back of each Instrument,
and you have the manufacturer's price, which saves you the dealer's large
profit, freight, etc.
We make our own pianos and sell them to the home direct. This saving
represents 25 to 30 per cent, and the instrument Is guaranteed by us the
makers.
