SATURDAY EVENING, CAMP LIFE IS DOING MEN GOOD Rigors of Mobilization Life Fit ting Pennsylvania Soldiers For Border [From a Staff Correspondent] i Camp Brumbaugh, Mt. Gretna, Pa.,, July I.—Every day that goes by with | the Pennsylvania Guardsmen still in camp is a gain for them. In spite of all the clamor of being rushed to tho border and the prospect of getting settled in camp within sight of Mexico there are a good many , men here who realize that if they can have a week or ten days more in the mobilization camp they will be all the better for it. Unquestionably the strict adherence to the requirements of the United! States army medical examination stan dard, in enforcement of which Cap tain J. B. Kemper, tne senior muster ing officer, has been upheld by Major- General Leonard Wood, will mean lives to the Pennsylvania division. The men accepted conform to the strictest system in the world and only those who are fit for arduous work on the border are taken. Incidentally, j the men are being given medical treat- j ment and are being drilled, broken in to army ways, taught to take care of themselves and what to eat and when to eat. Men who were eating the fat of the land and at any time a week ago are getting down to army fare and are glad to get It after marching around In the sun. * 1 Marching and drilling are the big I things now. The colonels are turning I out their men bright and early and I keeping them out. The Tenth infan try set the pace in this respect and its j i men have worked early and late and are getting hard as nails. The Eigh teenth. which is commanded by a for- t mer Harrisburger, Col. E. L. Kearns. 1 is whipping recruits into shape and working hard at it. Yesterday for the j first time the whole Eighth regiment was put on the drill field and given a taste of hai*d drilling. Colonel Fin ney's men showed up well and gave evidences that the sergeants had been getting results, while for general ap pearance they were much complimen ted. The Eighth continues Its splen did health reports. Col. Finney is getting together a fine regiment, ac cording to the staff officers who have been watching him and for morale it ranks among the best. The old men are keen for the traditions of the regi ment and are keeping the spirit in the recruits. The men are now being given in struction in how to handle their rifles and every day you can see them ad vancing ir skirmish line, working in extended order or making a massed attack on some tree or the pumping station or some other object supposed to contain some belligerent foes. These drills are adding variety to an other wise workaday camp and are making the men feel better. The longer they ; are allowed to do It the better they I will be. A. B. H. New York Guardsmen Pass Through San Antonio By Associated Press San Antonio, Texas, July I.—The j movement of national guardsmen to 1 the border is being conducted more efficiently than ever before, according to army officers at headquarters here to-day. 1 The transportation of troops has been in the entire charge of the Ameri can Railways Association and routes : have been chosen so that the troops not only were forwarded quickly to their stations, but also in such a man ner that ordinary train schedules have not been interrupted. The traffic has been so evenly distributed among the roads that all have had a share in the I business. A portion of the New York guards | men, including the Seventh Regiment, | passed through San Antonio last night, j The First Illinois Regiment, which ar ■ rived here last right, will be followed ■ to-day by the Second Regiment.

CLEMENT AND KEMPER AGREE Working in Perfect Harmony; Wood Approves of Re quirements » Mt. Gretna, June 30.—Major-Gener , al Leonard Wood, commander of the Department of the East to-day called upon Captain J. B. Kemp.er, U. S. A., senior mustering officer at this camp for an explanation of published re ports regarding friction in the medical examinations of the guardsmen for federal service. Captain Kemper gave a detailed statement over the tele phone and it was announced that Gen eral Wood had signified his approval ' and would confirm It Dy telegraph.

Worked in Harmony General Clement to-day received a telegram from Colonel Simpson at the y Governor's Island inquiring regarding newspaper reports of friction and his reply which went to Col. S. W. Miller, IU. S. A., inspector of the camp, was | as follows: "You are authorized to say that Captain Kemper and myself have had I no trouble, on the contrary we have f worked in perfect harmony. I have met his wishes, he mine, both cheer ! fully. "Emphatically our relations are , most cordial. At my request the re porter apologized to Kemper for the | article in yesterday's paper." Clement.

"I am for the time being the. servant of such people." he declared. President Wilson said he had receiv ed many tetters from property owners in Mexico, but that there had beer many others from persons whose names never would be known, saying : to him: I "For God's sake, don't start war wit! Mexico unless it is absolutely neces sary. Do you think the glory of the ; United States would be enhanced by a war of conquest in Mexico?" he asked ' his fellow guests, and paused as i! | awaiting a response. The question he propounded solemn !. lv was greeted with a loud chorus ol : "noes." i Tax on Incomes Will Be Doubled by Revenue Plan Washington. D.
