KL, PASO, Tex.. July 17.
Company B, niiRlncers. of Philadelphia,
entrained for XorMcs, Arl , today. Thla
Was the second Philadelphia detachment to
leave for border work. The company Is
the hlRhcst'rnted mllltla cnRlnccrlne or
ganization In the United Slates and overy
man In tho outfit Is In tiptop condition.
Xot without excitement and. difficulty
was tho cntrnlnmcnt effected. Dynamlto
Interfered with a Hmooth departure Dy
namlto la a mule, the most vicious of tho
nine untamed Missouri products which the
Government Issued to tho company. Dyna
mite, however, was subdued nnd will labor
hard nt Nogales, which Is 100 miles west
of this" city, on the border.
Tho tlepnrturo of tho cnRlnccra Injected
fresh Interest Into camp life, which had
Brown rather humdrum.
"We'll bo soon now," was the comment
In every battalion, each bellevlnR that It
would bo tho next detachment honored by
nn orVler to leave for duty.
Another spicy order came from the War
Department, notifying tho 1st and id HcrI
ments, of Philadelphia, that tho remount
station would furnish them with horses
nnd mules ns soon ns they could bo Issued.
Bach regiment will receive 92 draft mules,
18 pack mules, 17 of which are for tho inn-clilno-RUn
company nnd ono for the sani
tary detachment; six riding mules nrtd 49
horses for omccrs nnd mounted scouts. All
tho Pennsylvania regiments without tho
TCtiulrod complement of 22 nrmy waftons
havo been Issued thoso lacking.
Tho 2d Brigade, under General Logan,
hiked bIx' mllc3 today In a body. With
their bands playing tho three regiments
-tho 10th, Colonel Coulter: tho lGth. Colonel
Richards, nnd the 18th, Colonel Kcnrns
swung nround a circuit townrd the city and
pained tho npplauso of tho fashionable
suburbs.
Water pipes, being laid at Camp Stewart,
tho now slto for the Pennsylvania enmp,
were viewed by tho cavalry and tho 3d
Brlgado with watering mouths. Tho troop
. rs. Including the smart First City Troop,
havo been existing on a enntcen of water n
day. nnd tho 4th, Gtlt and 8th Inrantry
Regiments of tho brlgado hnvo been far
ing llttlo better slnco they detrained 'on the
lcvol plain to route tho prairie dogs out of
their homes. Fatigue details of about 100
men from each Pennsylvania regiment nro
laying out tho water works syBtcm and dig
ging sinks In preparation for the "big
move" of all Pennsylvania troops to the
new camp selected by Major General
Clement.
Until tho "big move," which may tako
placo this week, all regiments are mnrklng
time. Tho transfer of sites may bo effected
this week "may," becauso no ono ventures
to predict oven n sunrise on this border.
Thero is scarce an ailment among all the
host of Philadelphia warriors. Physical ex
aminations of tho 1st and 3d lteglmcnts
revealed 8G corns, tho worst nflllctlon In
these two organizations. Treatment to erad
icate theso has been begun. Two hours
wcro required for tho third and last Inocu
lation of tho 1st Regiment by-Major Waag'3
corps of medical officers. This equals the
record mado by tho 2d rteglment's mtd
leal corps, under Major Alter.
This week, wlilch may prove momentous
for tho Pennsylvania troops, was ushrrcJ In
by Sunday service, tho picturesque effect of
which was heightened by a wur of tho ele
ments a driving sandstorm followed by
thunder and lurid lightning that split tho
steel blue Texns sky. Men stood with bared
heads while Chaplain McFetrldge, of tho
2d Regiment, and Chaplain Futcher. of the
1st Regiment, preached vlrllo sermons fit
for soldiers' ears. The 3d Regiment, lack
ing a chaplain, attended servlcos In down
town churches and lent Its band to the 1st
Regiment., which lacks a band. Chaplain
Futcher organized tho first military Ulble
class In enmp in tho 1st Regiment, with
moro than 100 chnrter members. Mass
was said In several regiments for the Cuth
olio soldiers.
Help for dependent families of soldiers
may develop from a weird baseball game
played yestcrtlay among oftlcors and men
of tho 2d Regiment, who propose to chal
lenge tho KI Paso team and to send tho
gato receipts to Philadelphia. Tho gamo
was played on. Sunday, It Is true; but Sun
day ba:ball Is not frowned upon In this
Western community nnd, besides. Chaplain
McFetrldge was one of tho stars.
All memory of yesterday's blinding sand
storm was effaced by intermittent rain that
fell during tho night, whllo tho white
clouds rode along tho brow of grim Mount
Franklin nnd tho rose-colored lightning
flashed behind tho crags. Today Is another
day, different from all tho others that Phil
adelphlans havo found here, and each of
tho othcra has been different from Its pre
decessor.

that no further protests would be lodged
with tho State Department against this
Government's action In recognizing the Ger
man submarine Deutschland as a merchant
vessel until word Is received from the For
eign Office at London. It was stated that
Ambassador Spring-Rice has put the casq
up to his Government and any further ac
tion would be ordered from London.
Secretary of the Navy Darnels today said
that there were no indications that any
enemy Powers were planning to attack the
Deutschland while she Is colss to the Amer

"It Is untrue that this Government will
furnish the Deutschland with a convoy of
battleships.
"Brer since the war began we have been
patrolling the Atlantic coast at all ports,
and the Norfolk coast region Is being pa
trolled by our naval vessels now. Our ves
sels will do no more than they have been
doing ever since they were assigned to neu
trality duty."

YOU'VE LOST YOUR '
SAID THE GUARDSMAN
But Jitno Is Correct in the El
Paso Manner of Spelling, the
Soldier Was Informed
By CARL L. ZEISBERG
evening Ledorr Staff Correspondent
EL PASO, Tex., July 17. -A Philadelphia
militiaman on leave In El Paso halted a
scurrying automobile.
"You've lost something." he told the
driver. "You've dropped your '.' " .,
Tho chaurfcur plainly was puzzled.
"You'vo lost that '.' " pursued tho
guardsman. "Your feign says 'Jltne bus." It
ought to be 'J I t n e y. Jitney." "
But tho rhlladelphlan was wrong. And
the driver told him so In strong language
that heated the already overheated Texas
air.
It la a fact that they spell "jitney" with
out the "y" here. Tho word means the
same and Is pronounced the same, but the
Spanish Influence In tills town, where 50,000
Mexicans live, decreed that tho final letter
was superfluous, nnd off It came. The same
Is true throughout the West, where a Phil

The history of tho KI Paso Jltne, which
takes one on a tour of old Mexico or of
west Texas, is the same as its Pennsylva

growth of honks mid blue vapors, charging
a nickel for a ride and being very reg

Electric Railway launched a sudden drive
and tho jltne died as a Jltne. Now it
charges 25 cents and from 1.50 to (3 nn

The nicest characteristic of the El Paso

It sails along Bliss boulevard It doesn't

To the People :
Armor plate for our battleships is a vital factor in national defense. It is supremely
important that its quality be the highest obtainable.
All the great naval powers of the world (except Japan, where there never was a private
armor industry) have found it to their interest to utilize private rather than Government
industries for this important product.
If the Government utilizes private plants to make its armor, it can exact conditions as to
quality and obtain the benefit of economies, difficult if not impossible to realize in Govern
ment manufacture itself. Because
First Government manufacture means one sub-department of the Government contracting with
another, with no efficient means to enforce contracts either as regards time of delivery or
quality of material.
There would under Government manufacture be a natural pressure and Inclination to
avoid the cost vi delay of replacement of armor failing to meet exacting specifications,
which, if purchased of private concerns, would be rejected without hesitation.
A few years ago the Bethlehem Steel Company lost 600 tons of armor worth $255,000
because it could not meet the rigorous tests. These are risks of manufacture which
we maintain it is wiser to have private capital take than the Government. v
Second It is more economical to operate an armor plant in connection with a commercial
steel plant,
Third In making armor, necessarily a substantial amount of the product is rejected as scrap.
The United States have available three private armor plants, developed for the use of the
Government and for no other purpose,
0
We offer to place all the cards on the table to open our books to the Federal Trade
Commission, and to put our experience, our facilities and our economies at the
service of the Nation upon such terms as the Government itself shall name as fair.

SUN RESTORES PEACE
Special Correspondence Kt'tnlno Ledoer
DOUOIiAS, Ariz, July 12. Now that the
rainy season seems to havo satisfied Itself
with the fury of Its Introduction, nnd the
encampment Is drying out after the three
day downpour of rnln. the New Jersey
guardsmen concentrated here nre getting
down to the hard grind of ramp life again.
For almost threo days there was a steady
torrent of rnln nnd tho encampment wns
nt times completely covered with water to n
depth of several Inches.
As rapidly as It came, the water disap
peared, and tonight, nfler only n few hours
of sunshine, the enmp Is pretty well dried
out, nnd Instead of plopping through several
Inches of surface water nnd thick, red,
007.V mud. the men nre nbto to walk on
fairly dry ground. Ditches which had been
dug during tho short Intervals between tho
most terrific of the storms aided much
during the Inst day In carrying oft the
excess ralnfnll.
Tho Jersey troops worked like good fel
lows In tho ralnfnll trying to perfect the
drainage and save the encampment from so
serious n Hood ns that which completely
Inundated the Gth Iteglment nnd other or
ganizations during the first night of the
storm.
Ono of tho greatest surprises that the
regular nrmy olllcers here have received
was the rapidity with which the New Jcr
seymen omerged from the storm and set
their camps to rights. Within n few hours
nfter the rain had stopped the men had
ccry little puddle drained dry nnd tho

Is known to tho Jerseymen through his

In which the olllcers nnd men from New
Jersey took a prominent part.
Numerous movements nmong tho Na

somo forecast an early ordering out of soma
units In tho New Jersey camp. The Ari
zona Infantry, consisting of ono regiment,
Is leaving Douglas for points on the border.
Ono bnttnllon goes out under command of
Major Coykcndall. Colonel A. M. Tuthlll,
commanding the regiment, will take another
battalion to another point nnd the third
battalion has already been out of here for
several days.
With the moving out of tho organizations
that have been camped here for some time
It Is hardly likely thnt the New Jersey
troops will be moved unless actual hos
tilities demand their presence nt other
points. It is believed that tho purpose of
tho commanding olllcers Is to keep the Stato
organization together and prepare it
probably foe taking over eventually tho
entire responsibility for tho protection of
