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.

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.
' The course of Captain Kemper in
i requiring- that such examinations be

.so that the men would be fit for ser
vice on the Mexican border is held to
be approved by the commanding gen
eral and is now being carried out by
1 the examing surgeons and by officers
in charge of preparation of mustering
! in blanks.
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."

President Opposes Conflict
Wiih Mexico Unless Forced
New York. July 1. President Wil
son in his speech before the New York
Press Club last night indicated plainly
; that he is opposed to war with Mexico
S unless it is absolutely necessary. At
the beginning of his address he
launched directly into a discussion of
the Mexican situation, telling of the
hundreds of letters he is receiving
receiving every day imploring him to
avert hostilities except as a last re
source.
"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."

, expense, the corporation tax and the
tax on incomes will be doubled, thf
profits of munitions manufacturers

• sion, an antidumping .provision and a
