DOUGLAS, Arl., Jul? H. Sit thousand
Sfew Jersey guardsmen today honored Priv
ate "William Whelen, the New Jersey boy. a
member of Company K, of the 6th Regt'
went, who died yesterday afternoon at the
Calumet Hospital, In Douglas, after n few
days' Illness from pneumonia ho contracted
soon after his arrival here. The entire
company acted as escort when the body
was carried from tho Ferguson morguo In
Douglas to the railroad station for ship
ment home. The citizens of tho city Joined
In showing' their respect for the first of
the sYew Jersey boys to dlo while on bor
der duty.
Company K, which Is a Montclalr or
ganisation, under command of Captain Ros
coo Johnson, marched during the afternoon
to the city of Douglas, whero they formed
at tho morgue while brief mltltary services
wero held. Captain Charles W. Gullck,
chaplain ot tho 6th neglment. conducted the
nervlces and his sermon was a glowing
eulogy to tho bravery and manliness of tho
Hloomfleld boy.
The casket was draped with a hugo
American flaff. Floral contributions from
his own company, the Gth llcgiment, ana
private Individuals covered tho casket In
Drofuslon, Whelan's best friends in the
company wero selected as pallbearers., The
men wero visibly asectea as me remains
wero carried from the Morgue and escorted
with, military honors to the railroad station.
Efforts had been mads to secure the per
mission of tho War Department to have
the body sent home under accompaniment
of one or more soldiers, but the department
declined to grant tho permission.
Up to tho present tlmo tho troops here
have had no opportunity to work out any
manouvers. As a matter of fact, the prep
aration of camp, tho excesslvo rainfall and
other handicaps havo made It Impossible to
do much more to dato than simply work
out the details of the camp In tho first
stages of Its making. An Inspection of the
tented city of tho New Jerseymen Is neces
sary to get a comprehensive Idea of tho
vast amount of work that was required to
mako conditions llvablo hero In tho desert.
, Thousands of feet of ditches had to be dug
' and watorplpes laid, wooden substructures
i for kitchens and mess halls had to be built
and other work Involving a great deal of
tlmo was required. In truth tho work has
little more than commenced, but the men
are comfortable and well situated, all things
taken Into consideration.
Owing to the probabilities of a speedy
settlement of the International situation
Major Qenoral J. Franklin Boll, who, It
was announced a fow weeks ago, would
como here to assumo chargo of tho western
border division. Is not likely to establish
a headquarters' hero, It was learned today.
General Bell was named to this division.
Brlgader General Pershing to tho Kl Paso
district and Major General Frederick
Funston to tho Texas division! and a com
mander for the three districts was to have
been named by the War Department. Major
General Leonard A. Wood, commanding tho
Department of the East,' was mentioned as
the most likely man for the place, but tho
appointment was not made becauso of tho
sudden clarifying of the situation between
the two countries.
With the view to making up for tho time
lost In the preparation of camp and the
bad weather of the early part of thla week
the men are being put through strenuous
drill periods. The work Is conllned almost
exclusively to the early morning hours, be
tween 7 and 10:30, when officers and enlisted
men get all possible good from a stated
course, of study. The non-commissioned of
ficers are formed Into companies and given
an hour's drilling each day as tho olllccrs, at
the closo of the field work, go Into confer
ence and discuss tactical problems.
PENNSYLVANIA TROOPS
BALK AT POOR CAMP
Jealousy of General Clement Al
leged in Isolation of State
Guard'
EL PASO, Tex., July 19. Friction has
developed.between tho National Guard and
trs United States regular troops stationed
at this point on the border, it developed
today. The friction Is tho result of tho
ordering of tho entire Pennsylvania dlvl
alon, under Major General Charles M. Clem
ent, to Camp Stewart, n sand waste six
miles out on the desert and 13 miles trom
El Pasoj when there were many available
camp sites nearer the city, fort and border.
Officers of the Pennsylvania commands
openly charge that the Pennsylvania divi
sion was moved to Its present location In
the hot, shadeless region because of the
fact that Major General Clement ranks all
of the regular army officers on the border.
A protest Is said to havo been filed with
the War Department regarding the treat
ment of the Pennsylvania troops, who wero
the first to be ordered to the Big Bend
district. In the most desolate part of tho
Texas border.
General Clement announced today that
the 18th Infantry would be the next com
mand to be moved' to Camp Stewart. This
regiment will be moved Thursday, he said.
The water pipes are fast being laid to the
furthermost stretches of the forsaken coun
try. The 3d Pennsylvania Infantry was paid
today and the Zd Is scheduled to be paid
tomorrow. The camps were quiet today
except for what llttlo excitement this
created.

BORDER SNIPERS ACTIVE
KL PASO, Tex., July 19. Fresh reports
from tho neighborhood of Pnrral and Jim
Inez today say "Panclio" Villa Is within
10 mllos of Parral ond on his way to Chi
huahua City. Some of his advanco guards
aro already north of Chlhuvhua nnd cut
ting up Carranza detachments regularly.
Political parties are also doing their bit
toward embarrassing tho Carranzlstas. Tho
Llborallstas have stolen n march on their
equally nmbltlous rivals by placing on their
"slate" a number of oindals who sorved
under Madcro. Thus they hope to gain the
aid of Villa who hna never swerved from
tho cnuso of his dead leader.
Mexican unlporn aro bo actlvo along tho
border that a trip on tho American bank of
tho Illo Grando Is nothing short of a risky
adventure, nnd any travclor going there
offered himself as a target for the sharp
shooters hidden In tho hills and meoqulte on
the other side.
For several days Amorican sentries had
been posted at Intervals to warn persons to
seek a trail not so Invitingly within r'illo
range. Today theso guards wero doubled
and travelers absolutely forbidden to ap
proach tho river bank.
This was especially truo In tho neighbor
hood of the dam on the smelter road In tho
western part of the city. At this point
Colonel W. K. "Wright, of the 23d Regiment
Infantry, was preparing camp for two Na
tional Guard regiments which he Is to whip
Into shape. Twenty regulars carrying rifles
and sldo arms wero on guard there.
During the night snlpors took pot shots
at whatever lights showed on tho American
Bide. I!arly today they wero still at It and
the little JetH of sand kicked up by their
bullets attested their activity.
Company I,, of thj 9th Massachusetts In
fantry, established at Camp Cotton, In tho
eastern part of the city, reported that their
outposts had exchanged shots with Car
ranzlstns cavalry across tho river.
In tho neighborhood of the smelter camp,
where the last American outpost guard
stopped all automoDlles and searched them
for arms, the soldiers exchanged shots dur
ing tho night nnd early morning with
tho hlddon marksmen on tho Mexican side.
Theso activities were watched by tho
thousands of guardsmen, and those camped
near Fort lillss longed for a chance to do
duty within rango of the Mexicans. The
possibility of exchanging compliments with
Mexican snipers was much more thrilling
to them than waiting for the Moxtcan sit
uation to develop Into a crisis.

Announcem Hudson Policy
35,000
Hudson Super-Sixes
We have today to announce- Detroitj Mich July 1916'
That more than ten thousand Hudson Super -Sixes have now been
delivered to owners.
That we have in four months, by tremendous exertion, quadrupled
our daily output.
That we have parts and materials, on hand and in process, for 20,000
more of the present Super -Six. Constantly increasing demand has just
forced us to place contracts on materials for an additional 15,000.
Thus it is settled that at least 35,000 more of the Hudson Super-Six will
be built like the present model. Our production is now 3,500 monthly.
No Change in Sight
LimjwiifiuuxaniBgmnmt
Our opinion is that a like announcement
will be made in a year from now. The Super
Six invention in one bound, increased motor
efficiency by 80 per cent. From a small,
light Six, which delivered 42 horsepower, it
created a 76-horsepower motor. And simply
by ending vibration.
Stock Super-Sixes, in a hundred tests, have
out-rivaled all other stock-car performance. In
speed, in hill-climbing, in quick acceleration
and endurance, they have done what was
never done before.
No man can doubt that the Super-Six
holds the pinnacle place among motors.
And there is no higher place in sight
After eight months of experience, with
10,000 cars, not one important improvement
in design suggests itself to our engineering
corps.
So the Super-Six will remain as it is. And,
because of our patents, it will maintain its
supremacy
Watch the 10.000
"Watch the 10,000 Super-Sixes now run
ning, and judge if you want a car like them."
