How Guard Officers Met
Call for Federal Service
riOLONEL HAMILTON D. TUR
U NER of the Second Pennsylvania
Artillery, sold he wished the order
irere to become effective today in
itead of Sunday.
"We are ready both in men and
supplies. Ail we need is the com
mand to start," he said. "I have no
information ns to where the regi
ment will go."
Brigadier General W. G. Price
tiid:
"I am awaiting orders from Har
rlsburg and am expecting them at
ny moment. Until I recelvo them I
do not know what disposition will be
made of the Pennsylvania National
Guard regiments."
Colonel Millard D. Brown said:
"It haa been expected that the regi
ments would go to Mount Gretna.
Such is not to be the case. We have
no information as to what southern
camps will be selected for our boys."
l WASHINGTON, July 10.
t President Wilson has Issued a procla
5 matlon calling all national Kuardsmcn
V Into the servlco of the United States.
I The call Is effective beginning July
f H. On August 5 the President will
drift the men Into Federal servlco under
' the recent military act. . Until they are
fimnllv drafted the National Guard
s units cannot bo sent out of the country.
The National Guard of Pennsylvania,
tftw York. Ohio, West Virginia, lllchl
ran, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North
1 and South Dakota and iscoraska will Dc
1 called Into the Federal service on July 15
and sent to concentration camps in the
I South, although tho draft will not apply
! formally to them until August B.
Similarly tho State troops from Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia,
Virginia, North and South Carolina, Ten
I nessee, Illinois, Montana, Wyoming,
Idaho. Washington and Oregon are called
Into the Federal service on July 23.
Units from other States a're to bo sent
tn the camos on August G. Tho call
covers all members of the National Guard
and Its reserve not already In the Federal
service except a few officers and special
units not required for tactical organiza
tions. No officers abovo colonel In tho National
Guard will be taken Into the Federal service
as such. The new military act provides
that all officers above that rank must be
nominated by the President and confirmed
tX the Senate. The President followed that
idea in his proclamation and made It plain
that officers above colonel will not be called
Into the Federal service or be drafted In
lit subsequent act which will follow the
formal call,
An officer of the militia division said that
major generals and brigadier generals for
most of the National Guards would be
promptly nominated by tho President By
I this procedure It will be possible to displace
officers in the Guard who are homing tneir
places by political preference.
The remainder of the Guard that will be
mobilized at Its home stations Is virtually
the same as saw service at the Mexican bor
der, except that since that time the truck
companies have been organized or are now
betne organized. Three truck companies of
the supply train are now complete, three
will be completed this week and twelve
truck companies of tho ammunition train
are now being formed.
The officers and enlisted men exempt
.from the President's call in the Pennsylva
nia Guard are very limited In number,
there being but twenty-live officers and
men that will not be summoned eventually
to the colors.
The commands that will be called as re
Quired are the quartermaster's corps, the
staff corps and departments, medical ofn-
cers, ordnance, Inspector general's, adjutant
I ttneral's and the Judge advocate general's
, departments. In these commands thero are
i 110 officers and 650 enlisted men. Those
, that wll not be called out are connected
with the 'inspector general's, adjutant gen-
j- eral'i and Judge advocate general's depart-
i menu.
! The various cnmmftiwla will rinnrt to
I their local armories on Sunday, the time to

Tl ,. c,a,llnB n national guardsmen Into
uie bederal service. Lieutenant Colonel
"rookfleld. of the Third Iteglment. N. O. P ,
tn s afternoon announced that he hnd re
ceived no official order from Washington
concerning the proposed mobilization
The Presldent'n mil u fftifn Y.c.inntn
July 25, and, according to the plans of the
M.r ,,)ePament. tho national guardsmen
will bo drafted Into Federal scrlce on
August 6.
The Third Iteglment Is now In the Federal
service nnd doing guard duty In the western
section of the State How this regiment li
to be relieved of gunrd duty Is the big
question that every man In the organization
would like to have answered.
"Wo are ready for any kind of service,"
said Lieutenant Colonel Ilrockflcld, "but un
til olllclal word comes from Washington I
shall not place much credence in the report
that we are to discontinue our present guard
duty and enter a concentration camp In tho
South."
Colonel Brookfleld also made It plain
that tho regiment Is moro than 800 men
short of the number required to place the
unit on a war footing. "We hnvo about
1200 men at the present time," said the
olllcer." and to be placed on a war foot
ing monn that more than 800 men must
bo recruited. Getting the men and find.
Ing equipment for them takes conslderabli
time."
Like other officers In the Philadelphia
regiments. Colonel Brockflcld li anxious to
learn tho Identity of the organlaztlons that
will rellcNo the guardsmen from their pres
ent duty.
"Wo are guarding bridges nnd Industrial
plants." he added, "and this work Is too
Important to nbnndon. It ls certain that
some provision must bo made to relievo our
men from this duty beforo they are with
drawn." OFFICnnS IN QUANDAItY
Although hailing tho President's procla
mation ns the best pleco of military news
In months, tho guard odlcers are In a
quandary concerning tho order. One phase
of the sitffhtlon that Is causing much specu
lation Is tho War Department's plan to send
them to a concentration camp In tho South.
Whero this camp Is to bo located and
when they are to leave the city none of
thorn know.
Regiments of tho National Guard from
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania are likely
to loso their identity as such after next
Sunday, when they will be called into tho
service of the United States.
Although no positive Information on the
subject was available at the local armories
today, officers agreed In saying that such
probably would be the caso and that all tho
regiments would be renamed.
If such a ruling is made effective. It was
explained, the First. Third and Sixth reel-
ments will no longer bo known by that
name, but will be called the Sixty-fifth In
fantry, etc., or any other number abovo
sixty-four that the War Department may
designate. Thero are now sixty-four regi
ments of regulars, which will make tho new
guard regiment appellations run abovo that
number.
Kver since the news of President Wilson's
latest proclamation relative to the muster
ing In of tho National Guard, was flashed
broadcast, officers have been perplexed
over tho announcement that no guard
officers above the rank of colonel were
to be called Into the servlco of the United
States at the present time.
COMPLETE KEYSTONE DIVISION
Pennsylvania Is one of the two States
which have a complete division of tho
National Guard to offer tho Government,
rnd the decision of the War Department
relative to higher odlcers, affects Major
General Clement and seeral brigadier gen
erals. The ruling puzzled local guard officers,
but they believe they have solved It as fol
lows: First No division of the National Guard
Is to bo mustered In as a complete unit, they
believe.
Second. The regiments will be mustered
In, regiment by reglrrtent, regardless of the
division formation.
Third. Such a plan being adopted would
do away with the necessity of officers
abovo the rank of colonel. That is, tho
regiments will be shuffled, so to speak. Into
divisions In tho regular army, which, of
course, already havo higher officers.
Fourth. The higher guard officers, by
the ruling, it is believed, will be used later
on In the draft army.
All the local armories are seething with
activity today. The First Regiment reported
a total roster of 1C60 officers And men, which
Is the largest number It has had In years.
In all It needs 2002, and officers said thev
hoped to have that number In tho near
future.
Two appointments have been made in the
Second Artillery. Private Stuart O. Pusey
and Victor Ilallou both were made second
lieutenants.
The organization of the Pennsylvania
division comprehends three brigades and
one regiment of Infantry, ono brigade of
artillery, a regiment of cavalry, a regiment
of engineers, two ambulance companies,
two field hospitals, one radio and signal
battalion, n field bakery company and a
medical, veterinary and dental corps.

"ON TRIAL" DECREES
MODIFIED BY CENSORS
Permit Display of Forbidden
Leaders, Slightly Changed.
New Era Seen
j
What many regard as the opening wedge
for a moro liberal attltudo toward motion
pictures In the Stato and city was evident
yesterday in tho revised erslon of "On
Trial " Tills film, tnken from the play
by Elmer Relzensteln nnd performed "legiti
mately" at tho Oarrlck two seasons ago
without any protest, formed tho basis of a
hot dispute between the Boaul of Censors
and the Stanley Booking Company, when
the latter corporation sought to present the
film-drama intact tho Stanley two weeks
ago.
Tho Stato ofTlclals O K 'd the action, but
put the ban on fho leaders, or explanatory
subtitles, which wero printed in tho Eve
ning Lnnonn ns nn oUdence of their com
paratlely harmless character. Tho theatre
then clrcuimcnted the board by having the
Interdicted leaders read aloud during the
progress of the photoplay by n professional
actor.
It had been planned to follow the same
courso lit the Palace this week, but the
board mado a rule forbidding the ruse. Then
the board relented, consenting to slight
modifications In tho hitherto objectionable
subtitles, it permitted tho film to be ex
hibited. It was explained by a representa
tive of tho Stanley Company that such
action was not directly attributable to the
Influence of Frank It. Shattuck, since ho
only esterday officially stepped Into J.
Louis Breitlnger's shoes. It was said that
Mr Shattuck's actual censorial work would
not bo In full swing until tomorrow. The
partial rescinding of the order against the
"On Trial" leaders, It was Nouchsafcd, had
been duo to Mrs. Niver, a member of the
board.
While alt this may be true, nevertheless
exhibitors nnd fans who heard of the move
were quick to foresee a more broad-minded
reglmo In tho censor's ofilce in future. It
was pointed out that rarely did those ofll
clals change a ruling unless ns the result
of a disagreement that actually came Into
court and was settled there. And It wa"
perceived by many persons In touci with
tho situation ever since the board was cre
ated that If the board In future was willing
to permit leaders dealing with spurious mar
riages, ono of the great blue laws of cen
sorship might becomo inoperative. Had this
been so In tho past, many features would
havo escaped mutilation.

PARIS, July 10.
A graphic study of tho destruction of the
armed United States steamship Orleans by
a German submarine, revealing for the first
tlmo that the Kaiser had set a price of
24.000 marks upon the head of Captain
Allen Tucker, was told hero today by
sun Ivors who havo Just arrived. Officers
on tho submarine with drawn revolvers
tried to find Captain Tucker to kill him,
but were frustrated. The captain had a
narrow escapo from drowning as well as
from death at the hands of the Germans.
Tho Orleans, together with her sister ship,
the Rochester, were the first armed Ameri
can freighters to leavo New York after
Germany declared her ruthless submarlno
war and this eldently enraged the Kaiser.
Captain Tucker was nccompanled by his
ofllcers. This Is the story be told, rounded
out by Information of the other officers:
On tho night of July 3 the Orleans was
suddenly nttacked without warning. The
first tho seamen knew thero was a tremen
dous explosion nnd n geyser of water
drenched the vessel The lifeboats were at
once swung oerboard nnd the crew cm
bnrked whllo tho wireless operator, Larsen,
pounded his wireless key with (lashes of
"S. O. S."
Suddenly It thUs discovered that Captain
Tucker and the first olllcer were missing and
wero still aboard the Orleans Tho torpedo
had torn nn enormous gnp In tho hull and
the vessel was sinking fast The lifeboats
sprend out In fan shape nnd stood by, wait
ing to pick up the captain and first officer
as soon as they should -appear on tho sur
face. In the meantime Captain Tucker and his
fellow ofllcer, finding they had been acci
dentally left behind, attempted to throw a
plank overboard to cling to when they
should get Into the wnter. The end of it
fell, smashing Captain Tucker's foot. Dc
splto his injury, the captain, assisted by
tho first olflcer, finally got the piece of
timber Into tho wnter As they did so the
ship disappeared. The men wero drawn
beneath tho surface, but when they nroso
both swam furiously In the direction of the
board, which they could see nearby.
Finally a lifeboat came up and after six
hours of drifting tho survivors In this boat
wero picked up by nn American armored
yacht. This yacht cruised about until all
the lifeboats had been found. Then tho
survtors were landed at a French port.
In tho meantime sensational Incidents were
occurring As the Orleans took the final
plunge, the BUbmnrlno came to the surface
and started to circle nround the lifeboats.
When it reached tho second ofllcer's boat
It could be seen that fle German officers,
with automatic pistols In their hands, were
btnndlng on the deck.
The commander called out:
"Have you got the captain In that boat?"
"No," replied the second olllcer, "I think

WITH THE FRENCH AnMIES IN TH8
FIELD, July 10.
France's latest aerial here) Is a territorial,
a stolid, substantial Individual thirty-eight
years of age, formerly a prosaic hardware
merchant. Ho Is Sergeant Gallols. Ths
feat which brought him fame was his flight
to Essen, center of Germany's great Krupp
works, and bombardment of that Industrial
city.
There could be no mere apt Illustration
of the military value of France's terri
torials the men originally discarded for
military service because of age than Ser
geant Gallols. Called from his store at the
start of the war, Gallols was mobilized Inta
tho dragoons and given charge of a hospital
for sick horses. He was dissatisfied. II
wanted a more belligerent Job. So be'
pleaded for a chance to enter the .aviation
corps, French officers flatly rejected hlra
because ho was "too old." But Gallols kept
pleading and a year later he finally got Into
tho air service. He was efficient and
courageous In scores of raids as soon as ha
began to fly.
It was Gallols's own 'idea to bomoara ina
Krupp works. He volunteered for the flight
with three aviators. Tho army offlclils
npproved the scheme as a reprisal against
German raids.
Tho four aviators started Friday night V
"Wo flew a third of the way acrosaS
Franco In order to reach a favorable start-
ing point," uauois saiu today, -we started
at 9:15 Friday evening, and crossed the
German lines at an altitude of 600 feet,
under heavy bombardment, I first sighted
Metz, then Thlonvllle. At the latter place
an aeroplane going In my direction passed
me. Ho was undoubtedly one of the French
men going to bombard Treves. Owing 'to
the fog I lost my way shortly afterward
and steered by compass until I approached
a city where scores of anti-aircraft guns
were bombarding the air furiously. I guess
this was Treves, where the French air
squadron had evidently Just finished bom
bardlng.
"A moment later this French squadron
passed me, returning to France. All of us
were terrifically bombarded. It wasn't very
long until I lost my way again in the fog.
but finally I saw the flash of moonbeams
on water and knew It was the Rhine, I
followed this until I reached Coblents,
which appeared Illuminated like a triangle.
From there north the flight was easier,
because my route was endlessly Illuminated
by fires of hundreds and hundreds of fac
tories and furnaces. The latter's Area
were often red, green, blue or white In ths
Intensity of their hurry to produce German
military supplies. I went from Coblents to
Bonn, Cologne, and Dusseldorf, then headed
eastward, the flaming factories and fur
naces constantly Increasing In numbers.
Then I came to Essen. It w&s unmistak
able In Its countless furnaces turning night
into day and making It Impossible for me
even to see the flashes of guns which were
constantly aimed at me. I was obliged
to ascend to 6000 feet there and, selecting
the point where the furnaces seemed dens
est, I dropped my ten bombs and headed
for home via the Rhine and the Moselle.
"I got back Just seven hours after start
ing." Gallols said he drank "alcoholized cof
fee" and ate some sandwiches and chocolate
during his flight. He landed almost blind
from the pressure of the wind on his eyes,
having lost his goggles early la, -the flight.
One of the four who started out with
Gallols has not yet returned. He was with,
a squadron of three which got lost In tha
fog and stopped to bombard Treves.
LONDON, July 10. Berlin's official report
on the recent air raid upon Essen, the home
of the Krupp plant, says that only two"
bomb holes were found. Six other bombs. It
Is declared, smashed windows In a village
twenty-five miles from Essen. Bombs also
were dropped In the villages of Speedier,
Ehrang and Oberemmel, where a child was
killed, and on Neunklrchen, where a man
was killed; on a suburb of Dledenhofen,
where a family of three were killed, and on
Treves, where the Franciscan Monastery
was set on Are.
Ono airman who attacked Treves was
brought down near the Saar, It is an
nounced, while another airplane was de
stroyed and Its pilot made prisoner. Tha
report concludes:
"For what reason the open and militarily
unimportant town of Treves was bombed ls
incomprehensible."
