GOOD WATER FACILITIES
By CARL ZEISBERG
Evening Lrdotr Staff Corrlivondtnt
El. PASO, July 21. Camp Stewart, tho
new border homo of the Pennsylvania
troops, named In honor of Adjutant Gen
eral Stewart, lies north of El Paso on a
plain no level as a. billiard table, save for
tho scattering mounds built by prairie dogs
and the drifting sand that lodges against
the scmltroplc&l vegetation.. It la two miles
from the left flank of the encampment to
Fort Bliss. Six miles' beyond that the city
of El Paso hugs the Hlo Grande, and across
that green-bank turbid rivulet lie the, mud
huts of Ctudad Juarez and Mexico.
The encampment, selected by Major Gen
eral Clement so that his troops may operate
aa a tactical division, will house 14,000
soldiers from the shops, offices, farms and
mines of Pennsylvania. Ilcglment by regi
ment tho troops aro being transferred from
their scattered camps to this common home.
Thero arif.hcarly 9,000,000 square feet in
the area of the site. For two miles, from
flank to flank, the camp stretches along the
Alamogordo road, pulverized into thick
layers of dwt by the heavy army tractors
that ply to and fro with army stores.
Hence, tho right wing of tho camp Is dusty
10 miles from the city. The depth of tho
site is 1500 feet running back toward the
tumbling Mount Franklin range. Tho
tents stretch only -toward the mountains.
and not tb them, for, although the gray
peaks loom large and near in the clear air,
they stand a long and tlresomo two miles
to tho west
The plan of tho camp is simple. With
General Clement's headquarters roughly as
a middle point, tho two mile array of dnn
colored tents Btrctclies north and south, on
a lino a little west of headquarters. Naming
tho organizations in order from south to
north, they are: General O'Nelll'a 3d brigade
of Infantry, consisting of the 8th, 4 th, and
Gth regiments ; General Logan's 2d brigade
of infantry, consisting of the 18th, ISth,
and the 10th regiments; .division head
quarters; General Price's 1st brigade of
infantry, consisting of the 3d. 1st. and 2d
regiments; field hospital 'and ambulance
companies, Noa. 1 and 2; the battalion
of signal troops; battalion of enclneer
troops: the 1st cavalry regiment; and the
first light field artillery regiment. General
Price's brigado has the post of honor, the
Philadelphia commander being the senior
brigadier, general.
Philadelphia's troops In the camp are
tho Philadelphia Battalion of the 0th Regi
ment, the three regiments of the 1st
Brigade, Flold Hospital and Ambulance
Company No. 2, Company B, Engineers, and
the Philadelphia squadron of cavalry.
PHILADELPHIA GUARDS HURT
BY MOTORCYCLE MUCH IMPROVED
Continued from Faee One
geon of the 1st, said that they were weath
ering It well. In addition to the regular
physicians, Sergeant Bowers Is being at
tended by his cousin. Captain Frank X.
Strong, U. S. A., of tho Field Hospital
Service.
An amusing Inctdent Is connected with
the accident. Color Sergeants Fryckberg
and Boblnson, who were marching to
mass, from force of habit pounced upon the
private and "arrested" him. Both are re
serve policemen In Philadelphia.
The artillery reglmont also began mov
ing todny. Brigadier General Price will
movo his headquarters to Camp Stowart
Wednesday with Colonel Turner's 2d Ileg
iment Tremendous water pressure that broke
a standplpo and drove out a plug was
found at Camp Stewart by the 3d Reg
iment. The geysers como from the kitchen
pipe line, used for drinking water, which
Is completed. Work Is being rushed on the
bath house line and an additional six-Inch
feed nlDe which will treble tho sunnlv of
water if tho present pressure of 75 pounds'
to the square inch falls tor distribute water
ovenly over nil the vast pipe system. With
an athletic field planned, train transporta
tion to .tho city assured, plentiful wnter and
breexes that' sweep through the roomy com
pany streets,, Camp Stowart rapidly Is be
coming more and moro pleasing to tho eyo
of the incoming soldier.
Thero remains but ono serious objection
to be removed, tho yellow Alamogordo road
that connects It with Fort Bliss, two mllea
away. Tho road Is beautiful; that Is, to
gaze upon. At tmnrlse It Is pink; nt high
noon It glares with that beautiful sheen of
tho ocean so Impressively described by the
r ancient mariner, and at sundown It Is of
gold, Interlaced with furrows that waver
between Ulac and purple. But tho road Is
miserable for traffic In dry weather and
should a heavy rain fall It would molt Into
an Impassable quagmire. For tho beautiful

heavy wheels of army trucks that literally
pulverized tho hitherto satisfactory adobe
roadbed.
W1LI, IMPPOVB ROAD.
Tho road will be hardened by tho mili
tary authorities. Cinders and oil for n
roadway and n drainage system will solve
tho problem, they think.
The fires that daily and nightly sweep
tho broad flanks of Mount Frnnktln and
that como Into prominence like laundry on
Monday mornings, are not started by "Mexi

Soldiers on Sunday hikes tgnlto the sage

fires do scant harm, Tho withered sage

layers dies n hnppy death, and the parched
cacti thankfully bend their Jaundiced discs
to tho merciful fire as tho line of bluo umoko
creeps up the mountain of rock, rotted by
rain nnd cracked by sun.
How to change their administrative du
ties from the Guard to the Federal aya-t
tern was learned today by the offlcers of tho
4th Regiment Lieutenant White, U. S. A.,
attached to General Clement's staff as a
teacher of militia, began with this regi
ment tho task of Instructing the Pennsyl
vania regiments In "paper work." DlanltB
stating their financial condition and an
swers to other pertinent questions are being
signed by employes of tho Pennsylvania
Railroad In Camps Pershing and Stewart
The blanks were furnlBhed by the comoany
'to aid In relieving want among the families
of dependent employes who are enlisted In
tho National Guard.
Guards' Widows to Be Paid as Regulars
WASHINGTON, July 24. Widows of
nnttonal guardsmen killed in service on tho
Mexican border must be paid the same
gratuity' of six months' salary that Is ac

opinion by Treasury Comptroller Warwick
today.

Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
dered the Federal Government val
iant service in 9 time of war.
Almost fifty-five years later to a
day, the Baltimore & Ohio was again
called upon by the Federal Govern
ment to aid it in times of peace by
giving to the people a message of.
"Safety First," a maxim of para
mount significance in the conduct of
affairs of a great nation.
The Railroad Company, which had
spent more than $ 1.00,000,000 for in-
.
dustrial preparedness in equipment N',
and roadbed, was prepared to carry
out the request of the Government" J . ,
without delay, and furnished the
requisite equipment.

on its mission since May l'st',. iaa,. Tn,
matter of unusual national- interest?1-'
Already it has carried the message
to hundreds 'of thousands of people
and Will, continue for months, to
come. . '
Here's a car that carries
real punch, pep and power!
This Pullman is in a class all
by its lonesome! Handsome
to look at; comfy to ride 'in;
plenty of get-up-an-go in the
engine; and then, here's
where Mr Pullman-Owner
has it on any other member

The price is only $74Q 11 1.
This car simply must be seen;

Watch the hills fade away; the
