Monday
Washington, June 2-1. Secretary of
War Baker this nfUrnoon issued or
ders to every department commander
to send his militiu forces to the burder
as rapidly as he can eipiip them.
Th first state troops to move uadir
these orders probably will be from New
York. Other state militia likely to fol
low closely from Indiana, llli.iois and
Wisconsin.
A high official said this afternoon he
did not believe any of the foices could
start before Monday.
Washington Militia
Gets Rush Orders
Seattle. Wash., June 2:1. Major Gen
eral J. i'raakliii Bell, commander of
the western department of the 1'nited
States army conferred with Adjutant
General Maurice Thompson and Gover
nor Lister here today, and told them
to prepare to rush orders to the Mex
ican border. He said all state militia
would be sent south as soon as equip
ment could be issuel at AmeuYyin Lake.
Xo state troops will be ready to move
for the border before Tuesday.
The orders to the department com
manders, now already iu the hands of
the state militia heads, direct them not
to delay departure because of the
shortage of field transportation
which includes horses, mules, wagons
and auto trucks.
At the war department no informa
tion can be had as lo the exact readi
ness of the militia organization of any
state and for this reason it cannot be
told hoiv soon the first of the guards
men will be on their way to the
border.
It is probable that in many stales it
will be a matter of sev eral days before
the officers in charge consider their
forces "reasonably ready," since this
order is interpreted as meaning the
men should be somewhat seasoned in
camp before being sent south.
Oregon May Go First.
General Bell declined to sav which of
the Pacific coast state troops woud
move first, but indicated that the Ore
gon contingent is the nearest ready.
All western guardsmen will Vie urged
to rush preparations. General Be' said.
0,000 Ready at Chicago.
Chicago, .Tune 211. Major General
Rarry today awaited word from General
Fiinstnn at the border before ordering
15.0(10 militiamen in the central depart
ment states to entrain for immediate
service.
As soon as Punston designates where
he desires the militiamen sent, 5,000 of
the troops who already have reported to
Rarry "that they are reasonably well
prepared for field service," will be se
lected and ordered to entrain.
"Xo troops have been ordered to the
border yet, excepting those of three
states designated by the war depart
ment, yesterday," it was stated at
General Barry's office today.
"The orders from the war depart
ment to this office make it possible to
send nt once any regiment or even a
battalion that considers itself ready,'
it was stated.
Work of mustering in the Kansas and
Missouri troops was under. way today.
Illinois troops will be mustered in to
morrow. .Many regiments, eager 'for service,
have reported themselves "reasonably
well prepared."
No News to Be Given Out.
San Antonio, Texas, June 2.'t. Orders
for the distribution of the state militia
along the border will probably not be
made public until the various units
have arrived at their stations, General
Funstoa indicated today. Their exact
locations will nut be divulged even then,
as Vuuston does not wish the Mexican
military officials to know just what
his arrangements will be.
I'll list on said he will send Ceneral
Pershing's official account of the Car
ri.al fight, expected some time today,
direct to the war department, anil will
await the administration 's orders as to
what steps lo take regarding the affair.
Assembling In Washington.
Cosgrove, Wash., June 211. Camp )'..
M. Urown is receiving the finishing
touches today in preparation for th"? re
ception of the main body of Washington
national guardsmen, who are expected
to arrive at the concent ration camp
Sunday. Troop H of Taeoma, recruited
to full war strength, and Company A.
field signal corps of Seattle, slept un
der canvas last night nt the American
Lake rendezvous and today are energet
ically going through drill evolutions.
The troopeis were scheduled to spend
five hours in this hard work.
Heavily laden wagons and auto trucks
were bringing an endless stream of
equipment, lumber, forage and commis
sary supplies to Camp Brown today anil

ening. Entrain Tonight.
X'evada, Mo.. June 2.1. Missouri

for the border.
John T. He-ssler ami family left this
morning for Fugene. Oregon, where
they will make their home. For the
past two years Mr. Messier has been
associated with the Prudential Insur
ance company. He recently resinned
to accept a position as district mana
ger of the Oregon Life and his head
quarters will be in Fugene. Mr. Mess

Orders to Department Com
mander Are to "Start Them
Soon As Ready"
Xot a man of Company M will be
turned down by the I'liited States army
medical officers. This information was
received at the Journal office this aft
ernoon from reliable sources at Clack
amas.
The physical examination began nt
half past one today and is now in
progress. Ry nightfall the entire com
pany, it. is believed, will have received
attention.
Ill case of slight deviations from the
standard iu the matter of eyesight or
teeth, u demerit will be marked against
the man so lacking. Xo one. however,
will be kept away from the front and
active service for a slight disability
that will not interfere with the per
formance of his duties as a soldier.
Reports circulating in Salem that two
prominent men of the company had been
refused are erroneous. The only damage
thus far inflicted on any Snlein guards
man comes through the wounding of one
who was too eager to wield a nick. He
sk n ii his knuckles.
Vrom the same source it is renorted
that the Third infantry will not go to
i ne nor.ier lor tit least a week or 10
days. This, however, depends on the do-
partment commander as his orders from
Washington are to forward the men as
soon as they are ready.
rhus far Compnnv M has been oe-
copied in camp work, drilling, diliirin"
trenches and target practice. The men
ire gradually Toiiudinp into slon.e n,l
work that would put kinks into their
backs a week ago causes no discomfort
