    CAMP BRUMBAUGH NEARLY DEPLETED OF TROOPS
SIXTH GOES AWAY
IN EARLY EVENING
Some Men Had Steel Cars
Which Will Be Hot in
Southern Climes
[From a Staff Correspondent.]
Camp Brumbaugh, Mt. Gretna. Pa..
July B.—The movement of the Fourth
brigade for the Mexican border last
night was attended by more or less of
a stir. The whole Sixth regiment
marched to the railroad sidings In
heavy marching order, giving people
an idea of what men must carry and
the Fourth will do the same to-day..
Hundreds saw the start and General
O'Neill and his staff lined up at the
station and were cheered by the de
parting men.
The Sixth was the first to get away
anything near like the time set to go
and the departure was ended soon af
ter 6. The regiment went out well
equipped and with the men munching
sandwiches.
Shortly before the regiment left a
large squad of recruits came In to go
to the Eighth infantry and were im
mediately taken in charge by the men.
They came from a dozen counties and
are to be examined during to-day.
The firbt deserter was caught last
evening. He was a Rhode Island man
who had been enlisted in a Reading
company. He "flew' the other evening
and was found in a boxcar by some of
his company. They tore the uniform
off him, haled him to camp where the
commander wrote out a dishonorable
discharge and slapped him across the
face with it. He slunk into the brush
when they let him go.
Men who have been inoculated for
typhoid fever prevention are now suf
fering from the effects of the second
Injection and glad that they will be
able to rest on trains. The typhoid
treatment makes arms sore and is
worse than vaccination. If there Is
any weak spot It searches it out. In
cidentally, the doctors, who are always
veracious, tell the men that with the
plain fare that they are getting the
effects of the treatment are minimiz
ed.
Improvement of the roads is to go
right on, which will be good news for
many people who have been visiting
the camp and who expect to get here
when the recruiting depot is establish
ed.

Scranton, Pa., July B.—Militia artil- ,
lery units not ordered to duty along '
the Mexican border are being rapidly
mobilized at the big artillery camp at
Tobyhanna under orders from Major- |

day morning more than 600 men have
reached the camp, and more are said

EIGHTH TO CLOSE
CAMP BRUMBAUGH
Col. Finney's Regiment Will Be
the Last to Leave Mt.
Gretna
[From a <?taff Correspondent.]
Camp Brumbaugh, Mt. Gretna, Pa.,
July B.—The greatest mobilization
camp in Pennsylvania in over half a
century will be closed and give way to
a camp for recruitment of the or
ganizations of the Keystone State
Guard now in the federal service with
in the next forty-eight hours. The
Eighth regiment, which has its head
quarters in Harrlsburg, will be the last
regiment to leave camp, the reason be
ing that its colonel is the Junior of a
junior brigade. With Col. Finney and
his men will go General C. T. O'Neill,
Allentown, commanding the Fourth
brigade, and his staff and the hospital
troops who have remained behind to
take care of the medical end of re
cruiting. By nightfall to-morrow the
troops will be on a "railroad in Penn
sylvania" on the way to a "place on
the border. "The war department does
not want the routes and final destina
tions published. Hence the informa
tion is a bit indefinite.
| The fact that the Eighth was the
! last on the list to go was a benefit, as
has been pointed out. Under the cir
j cumstances attending the medical ex
| amination which tore holes in the
I York. Chambersburg, Lewlstown and
( Bedford companies, the time on hand
J has enabled the regimental officers to
ido something toward fl'ling the gaps,
t Then tha men have had chances for
further drills, to recover from their ty
phoid inoculation, to get used to camp
food and other affairs in camp life and
last of all to get well equipped.
Schell Gets Everything
If there is anything in the quarter
master's stories which a regiment Is
allowed that Quartermaster E. H.
Schell has not taken out no one knows
it. Captain Schell has requisitioned
everything worth while and the men
will go to the border with mosquito
nets to wear around their heads and
having everything but socks and un
derwear of army pattern which they
will get on the border.
The men of the Eighth will go out
fully equipped, one of the few regi
ments that will have everything. Yes
terday big packing boxes were opened
and uniforms for everyone and some
for the expected recruits were receiv
ed, while Captain O. M. Copelln stack
ed up ordnance. The regiment put in
a busy day yesterday unpacking and
to-day It Is getting "dolled up" for de
parture to-morrow night.
The time of departure and route of
the Eighth are not definite, but the
regiment may leave about 6. It Is
doubtful if people who go to camp to
see the regiment will have much time
to greet the members as the command
will strike canvas about noon and
start to move stores to the station. It
will march out about 6. Of course,
all this may be changed by the re
cruiting matters.
I Col. Finney is being congratulated
l upon the manner in which he has
I equipped his men and everyone in
1 camp has been wishing him success In
1 getting rid of his recruiting troubles,
1 which came out a clear sky. The col
onel only assumed command a short
time ago and has had to face some big
| problems.
Captains Bretz and Ziegler to-day
: reported some sore arms in their com
j mands, but no one on the sick list. The
i health of the regiment has been re
i markable. The weather, which has
been fine, enabling the men to get used
j to their work without inconvenience.
; The soldiers say they do not mind
marching In the heat. It is good prac
! tlce. Captain J. J. Hartman, who
i took charge of Company K, of York,
i is making a company out of it In spite
of troubles.
Transfers Begun
It was a matter of great regret to
Col. Finney to transfer men from the
big companies from Harrisburg,
Mahanoy City and Tamaqua to build
up the York, Chambersburg and oth
er companies, but all organizations had
to show at least 65 and there was no
help for it.
The regiment reported 1,025 men
to-day and will have more by night.
Recruits are being eagerly awaited and
the men of the regiment welcome
them with cheers.
The Eighth is equipped with white
tents and it is predicted that they will
not last long on the border, where
khaki is the rule. All regiments of
the brigade have white tents and there
are bets as to how long the regular
army will stand for canvas that can
be seen twenty miles. The Eighth's
wagons, which were not set up, were
started off yesterday. The regiment
will have 23.
The Eighth went into the Spanish
war with eight companies and about
850 men. It now has twelve compan
ies and war strength would be over
1850.

Mexico City, July 7. More than
seventy American families who left
