THURSDAY EVENING, CITY GUARDSMEN MUSTERED IN Continued From First Page how it was done. Back with the lock, a look through the barrel and the suspicions are justified. A fcpeck in the barrel, too, rust where it shouldn't be even if it is harder to see. Down on a pad goes the de fect, that will stand against the com pany, and if it is not remedied at the next inspection, then some one higher up will go the carpet. Nothing Escapes Guns aren't the only things that are noticed. Nothing escapes the keen eyes of men who have been looking for nothing but perfection since they were commissioned at West Point. Another stop, not even a glance at the gun, but the tab of shirt pocket is' turned in. The in pector passes on, the man drops from the line and fixes the un thought of tab and then returns to watch, from the corner of his eye what is happening to his friends down the line. Both lines have been inspected. The officers' revolvers have been brought under the same rigid tests. Appar ently that is the finish. Again the inspectors start up the line, this time watching for defects to be noted from the rear.

Another • thing to be righted, and' if the appearances of the men can be taken as a sign the same thing will not be noted on that scratch pad the next time. Soldiers of the Nation When the inspection was over and ths men at rest for a moment, the usual Joking and banter was not to be noticed. No longer guardsmen of the State, but soldiers of the nation and of the world. The ceremony, simple as it was, seemed to have made a deep impression on the men who had "been mustered into the service. Not a gathering for a sum mer encampment but the first big step for preparation in the world war. Rejections Arc Few Late to-day the entire number of rejections had not been tabulated. It was estimated, however, that not more than forty men had been re jected for physical disabilities. One man has not reported for duty and in five more days will be considered a deserter. Another forgot to return to camp last night and was not to be found this morning. To be absent without leave means the guardhouse at least. The men are slowly getting down to the meaning and status of the officers standing, but occasionally the officers themselves forget some little detail. Sergeant Philip Mere- HAHRISBURG TELEGRAPH dlth was Instructed to take a detail of men and clean up the camp. A few minutes later the sergeant was noted hard at the job, but doing It all himself. When asked where his detail was he explained that he had forgotten to get the detail and was doing It himself. City Leads Country Captain Harrell has prepared a set of flgures showing where Penn sylvania would have stood if the Har risburg district had not recruited enough men to bring the quota of the other districts up to the require ments of the State allotment. In the entire State 16,4 89 men' have en listed in the Regular Army. The quota for the State was 15,330. and the enlistments above the require ment was 1,519. The local district alone recruited more than 2,000 men above its quota. Without the Har risburg district the figures tell where the State would stand instead of leading the nation as It does. Captain Harrell and First Lieuten ant R. W. Lesher, U. S. A., together with their able corps of noncoms, have made this record possible. Cap tain Harrell organized the district comprising twenty counties as care fully to secure recruits as he would have organized his company to take a section of trench from the enemy. Since the present officers began work, and especially since April 1 when the big drive for recruits be gan, the lights at the recruiting sta- tlon have been seldom dimmed, tell ing the lone policeman on his beat that while the city slept, the army men were devising ways and means to Interest the public In the crisis they knew would soon confront them, and to be able to meet that crisis with the record quota of the country. Still They Come Recruiting at the Regular Army station still continue*" to produce a good dally quota from this district and vicinity. R. W. Mell, arrested last evening in Duncannon for im personating an officer, this morning was taken to Philadelphia by Lieu tenant Ira S. Partin. Together with the former charge three additional ones will be brought against htm when he is court-martialed. Absent without leave, drunk-and disorderly and disturbing the peace will all stand against him as well as sworn affidavits from six civilians. Mell enlisted at the Pottsvllle sta. tlon and was sent to Harrisburg more than a month ago. He was ex amined here and then given trans portation to Fort Slocum, New York, where he was ordered to report. Mell, however, did not report. Later he enlisted in the Ninth Pennsylva ntt Engineers, Company E. Another of the offenses that stand against him is said to be sufficient to cause his dishonorable (ilscharge. Officers would not even make an estimate' at what his punishment may be. He gave his address on his last enlist ment ;is 709 East street. Wives of Congressmen Plan to Conserve Food By Associated Press Washington, July 19. —Wives of members of Congress making thetr homes in Washington hotels will do their "bit" toward food saving In spite of the fact that they have no opportunity to conserve as house keepers during their stay here. Mrs. Edward T. Taylor, Mrs. Dorcey W. Shackleford and Mrs. Samuel M. Taylor have suggested to the food administration plans for eliminating waste in hotel dining rooms. STREAM INSPECTORS DROPPED; NO MONEY FOR SALARIES Commissioner of Health Samuel G. Dixon to-day notified forty-five stream inspectors on field duty and eight inspectors in charge of their honorable discharge. The notice of the commissioner set forth that the .discharges were necessitated by the veto of items in the general appro priation bill for the salaries. There are now no inspectors in the field for the department, only the bu reau office being maintained. •TUL.Y 19.1917. | REORGANIZE NAVY ALONG NEW LINES Washington, July 19.—Rear Ad miral Albert W. Grant, formerly commandant of the Philadelphia Navy Yard, has been appointed a vice-admiral by President Wilson. The promotion is part of a partial reorganization of the Atlantic fleet which has been ordered by Secretary Daniels to meet new problems re sulting from expansion of the force to almost twice its normal size. Admiral Mayo, the Secretary said, will remain in general command, with the immediate authority under him divided between Vice-Admiral Coffman, at present second in com mand, and Vice-Admiral Grant. The former is to have direct command of a division containing most of the superdreadnaughts and designated as "force No. 2," while Vice-Admiral Grant will command the remainder of the fleet under the designation of "force No. 1." It is understood that the reorgan ization will not affect the division of the fleet now in European waters un der Vice-Admiral Sims. At the Navy Department it wag Indicated yester day that possible operations overseas are not contemplated by the change*, and that there is little probability that either Admiral Coffman or Vice- Admiral Grunt will be sent abroad In the near future.
