Clement will late to-day lower the
white flag with the blue keystone

made of the Keystone State men will
depend upon developments. They will
camp near El Paso to be hardened.

As Penna. Troops Arrive
in Texas, Mexican Recruits
Concentrate Across Border
By Associated Press
El Paso. Texas, July 5. While the
National Guard organizations being
mobilized on the American side of the
border are being recruited, drilled and
effulpped to grinb them to the hlgheest
point of efficiency, the Mexican de
facto government is taking similar
steps with volunteer troops, "concen
trated in some of the larger cities of
■ Northern Mexico, according to Mexi-,
| can reports here to-day.
These reports indicate that large
' commands of volunteers have been
mobilized at Chihuahua City. Jiminez,
! Parral, Rosarlo, Torreon and Durango
j City and are being drilled daily, while
! Carranzista recruiting agents In these
' districts have never slackened the ac
j tlvitles begun several weeks ago.
j Mexican military authorities offer
; similar explanations for these actlvl-
I ties to those advanced in the United
" States for the border mobilization as
serting that they are merely "meas
ures of preoaution."
Pennsylvania Units Arrive
With the diplomatic aspect of the
Mexioan problem apparently on a
I more calm basis to-day, it is obvious
i that everywhere along the border Am
erican military authorities are at
tempting to make the frontier ooncen
i tratlon of as much practical value as
} possible tothe State soldiers. Army
officers pointed out that the actual field
[training they are receiving will be of
i vast benefit in the event of hostilities
and that in any case the mobilization
is proving of great military value in
that it exposes and offers an oppor-
I tunlty to rectify weaknesses in the na
jtlon's second line of defense.
With the expected arrival of the sev-
I eral units o fthe Pennsylvania Guard,
!It Is believed that the concetration of
i militiamen in El Paso will be com
pleted. Following the arrival yester
day of the Pennsylvania signal corps,
. two companies of engineers ,a hospl-
I tal and ambulance corps. It was ex
, peoted that trains carrying tho First,
decond and Third regiments of Penn
| sylvania infantry would reach here
some time to-day.
Reports from Mexican sources said
that the party sent to exhume the bod
ies of the American cavalrymen at
Villa Ahumada and bring them back
to the United States for burial had be
gun their work.

Little Time For Celebrating;
Drilling Keeps Men
Busy
(From a Staff Correspondent)
Camp Brumbaugh, Mt. Gretna, Pa..
July 6.—There was not much Fourth
of July celebration about this camp
yesterday. Some of the organizations
shot off rockets and red fire last night
and the bands played patriotic airs,
but there was serious work on hand,
medical examinations, drills, instruc
tion and clearing up.
Major Crookston's sanitary details
have been going over all the camp
sites, burning up all the shacks and
rubbish and even the grass where
there had been accumulations from
food supplies. The major is bent on
having the place sanitary for the in
coming troops and the soldiers are
getting a lot of practical benefit from
what he saw in Europe. Other sur
geons who have had experience abroad
are helping all they can. If It is true
that troops from New Jersey, New
York and other States are to oome
here to train, they will find things in
good shape. What the eagle-eyed
major overlooks, Dr. Dixon's men
from Harrisburg will spot. The State
Health Department's Inspector won't
stop even for Uncle Sam. They have
been going about the camp and all the i
country round and when they find
trouble or danger, they orde*- it
abated. If the officers "kick," it is,
a case of headquarters and General
Clement always backs up the man
who Is working for sanitation. Inci
dentally, sanitation, total abstinence
and nonprofanity are among the
things to which the big, blue-eyed
man from Sunbury gives attention.
The visitors who flocked here yes
terday did not get much notice. The
men were all drilling and working
overtime or else on various duties and
the men and women were greeted and
given good-by. The lunch boxes they
brought were pretty closely watched
because these men are not to be al
lowed to eat anything that will I
bother them when they get on the j
t; ains or on the border.
Carried Garrison Rations
In regard to the train rations, It j
is a fact that if the men of the Phila- |
delphia organizations »an out of food
by the time they got to Kansas City it
was the fault of regimental officers.
Each thousand men that went out of
here, and the three Philadelphia regi
ments had about 1,000 men each, was
given something like 14,000 pounds of
food. There was approximately four
teen pounds for each man. Colonel
H. C. Trexler, chief quartermaster, and
Colonel H. L. Haldeman, commissary
general, both officers of long service
and familiar with all details, person
ally saw to It that the men got what I
the War Department required. The j
travel and garrison rations are care- !
fully figured out in Washington. They I
were adhered to.
The belief here is that the War De- |
partment fell down. It has been criti- i
clsed for the cars sent here and some '
folks think that certain men in high !
place in the Commonwealth should
have emulated the late Governor Dan
iel H. Hastings In the days of the
Spanish war mobilisation camp. It
was not up to the Governor ot 1898 to
pass on what kind of cars the rail
roads furnished after the men went
into Federal service any more than
it is now. Hastings, however, made it
his business and the row he raised
over some cars furnished for the
Fourth infantry is a classic in the
Guard to this day. Hastings came
\ to this campground in the rain
and the mud and he gave every regi
; ment his blessing when it was mus
i tered in and he bade everyone fare
well, putting in the time between see
ing that things, including cars, were
right.
Speaking of cars, it has been a jolt
for the citizen soldiery of Pennsyl
vania to hear that men from New Jer
sey and other States went to the bor
der in tourist cars or less than three
I men to two seats. Of course, the au
thority of the State officials ends
when the muster-in takes place but
j there seems to be an Impression among
j the young men in khaki, their home
j folks and some of us who have been
here through these long, dusty, hot
days, that a moral obligation rests on
those who govern to see that the best
of care is accorded to the men who
offer all.
Passing the Buck
From the time the Guardsmen were
called out, there has been exercise of
I what is known in poker as "passing
I the buck." Others call It evading re
sponslbility. The favorite expression
has been "it is not up to us." It is
tiresome enough to hear that in Har
risburg. It is saddening to listen to
it here.
There are men here, like the busi
nessmen in the quartermaster's corps
and on the staffs, who have been
fussing around, actually impeding the
movement and when "called down"
for not obeying orders or blundering
making some one else the "goat "
Details connected with troop move
ments would surprise a good manv
persons because at times some pretty
firm action had to be taken. When
the commands first got here all wanted
to start at once, but as the seriousness
of the situation and the need of phys
ical preparation of the men became
! apparent everyone appeared to be
willing, even demanding, to b'e the
last t» go. The final command out
j will be the beat because work here is
hard and of the kind that fits men
j for service in a different clime, if any
thing will.
It has been a great camp, a difft
| cult one to get running, filled with all
the troubles of transition from civil
life to Federal military service and its
lessons ought to be remembered when
next the time of trial comes around

Recruit Sentry and
Mockingbird Throw
Detachment Into Line
Field Headquarters. July 5, via
1 Wireless to Columbus, N. M.—Military
authorities here have received reports
that General Gabriel Gavira Is to
resume his command in Juarez. It
was pointed otit that General Gavira,
j before his recent departure to Mexico
City had shown a disposition to co
operate with the American forces. It
seemed generally understood that if
General Gavira returns to Juarez it
would be an indication of the Inten
tion of the de facto government to co
operate more largely with the expedi
tionary forces.
As an evidence of the alertness
which marks the American command
in Mexico, a story was brought here
telling of the call of a mockingbird
} and a recruit sentry throwing an en
tire detachment into line of battle.
The detachment was stationed at a
water hole one night, every one ex
j cepting the outposts being asleep.
Suddenly the voice of a sentry cried
| out: "Halt! Who comes there?" lm
i mediately there was a fusillade of
; shots, which brought every man to
i the sentry's side.
"Someone in the bushes," whlsper
;ed the recruit sentry. "He whistled
