" "Show Mettle. ; " ' •-- • Springfield.--The soldiers boys ef Illinois are kicking up clouds of dust these days on the hot plains of Texas In sight of Mexico. They are drilling early and late In preparation for stren­ uous work beyond the border. The First cavalry is at Brownsville, just across the Rio Grande river from "en­ emy" territory. The Infantry regi- »ects are at San Antonio. % " ; The arrival of tne First thfantrjr at ®*n Antonio was reported to state headquarters Friday evening, and that of th# Second and Seventh on Sunday. The departure of the troops from Camp Dunne and Camp Lincoln was made without a single serious Hitch. The order to move came Wednesday, June 28, shortly after two o'clock, and the First infantry was Texas bound that night. Thursday, the Second and Seventh followed the First Friday, the First cavalry left, and the other infantry command^ fol- ^ lowed at intervals. f,i, - Reports of what happened on the troop trains from Springfield to Texas points are filtering back. It seems that Col. J. B. Sanborn of the First In­ fantry and his staff spent most of the time playing a war game on a table strewn with matches. Among the men there was a continual cabaret perform­ ance. Privates Leo Markus, musician, and Fred Biddle, turkish towel dancer, W!ere spoken of as chief entertainers. At all towns along the various Mutes, the people turned out by hun­ dreds and thousands to cheer the sol­ diers. And abont the only complaint the fighters made was that it was diffi­ cult to see the faces of the pretty girls at the night stops. Truly a hardship. £ The medical corps was kept busy all IT; the way to Texas giving the men ty- jgioid vaccination. There wasn't a seri­ ously sick man reported. "Old 'Ell and Noise." :l- 'j First infantry officers ate the same that the men had en route. It tras cooked in "old. 'ell-and-nolse," pet name for the cook car which they ex­ pected to lose at any moment on their way. When "old 'ell-and-noise" was pressed into service it was a retired freight car, possibly enjoying a pen­ sion. A hole was knocked in one end and a couple of apertures cut in the roof for smokestacks. The cook and his staff solemnly assured Colonel Sanborn that "old 'ell-and-noise" was going to fall apart as the one-horse shay did and for the same logical rea- «0D. "She pitches and rolls, sir, like a matey with the nightmare," said Chief Ctook Davidson. "You start out to mix • nice beef stew, and make an omelet, and boil some coffee and stew some prewins, say, and she gives a heave and the omelet and beefstew Is one. She gives another heave and the prew­ lns join, and'the first thing you know the soup spills, and all you can do Is dish it up and call It mulllgau. And that's a fact, sir. It was no right way for the railroad company to give us old •eU-and-nolse* for a cook car." , Make Vocational Canvass. The captains of all companies made • vocational canvass of their com­ panies, learning what work each man was especially adapted to as a side line for soldiering. A list now filed at Mgimental headquarters gives the name and special talent of each man. "In this way," said Major Davis, "we will be able at once to procure a man for almost any sort of a job we may need him for. Muleteers, mechanics, typists, stenographers, cooks, carpen­ ters, blacksmiths, and all other voca­ tion^ are listed." Three Mexicans were arrested at Parsons, Kan., while attempting to de­ rail the second section of the train car- fifing the First Illinois infantry to San Antonio. They refused to give their names. A heavy guard had been placed on the tracks. Trouble of this kind was expected farther down the line and the trains were then ordered to proceed slowly. An Injunction was served against selling arms to Mexicans at Parsons. AH" Mexicaus in Parsons were Immediately searched. Twenty-six Pullman coaches took the First cavalry regiment to the bor­ der. The regiment traveled In three sections. One was under the personal charge of Colonel Foreman. Maj. Charles A. Wilt had charge of the Mcond section and Maj. R. R. McCor- inick of the third. Fine Lot of Men. Dr. J. F. Presnell of 80S Lakeside place, Chicago, who was retired some t(me ago from the United States array medical department with the rank of major and was called back when the mobilization began, voiced the opinion that few organizations could make the record that the First regiment made "I had expected to find In such a |||rge body of volunteers a greater percentage c>f unsound men," he said a# he pounded one of the last to be examined on the chest. "I am BMn»h pleased with the showing.' New Incorporations. .The Swenson company, Chicago: fHpital, $10,000; incorporators, Axel W. Hedbery, NelsO. Holmer, Rudolph Letuuann. Vulcanite Fiber company, Chicago'; capital, $1,000; incorporators, Thuniaif? W. Reilly, Isadore Goldstein, Joseph Rubens, The Headen Soring in a Tube Manu­ facturing company, Chicago; capital, $100; incorporators, Lucean A. Headen, Walter D. Alllmoni, Walter Hot Border Spot. Brownsville is a small town close to/ where the Rio Grande empties into the Gulf of Mexico. "It is in the Texas cotton belt. Outside of Yuma, it ls about the hottest place on the border. Three portable kitchens costing $3,- 000 are part of the regiment's equip­ ment. The' kitchens were obtained by Major McCorinick in Canada, as they could not be bought in this country. They are of the same type as the kitchens used by the French and Rus­ sian armies. The First cavalry is the only regiment in the service to have them. They are not yet in use in the regular army. The kitchens will move right along with the column, enabling the men to have hot food regularly. The kitchens were paid for by sub­ scriptions raised in Springfield, Peoria, Champaign, Urbana and Rock Island. When the First and Second Infan­ try regiments departed for the Mexi­ can border, neither organization left behind a single man who had refused to take the oath of allegiance to the federal government. A few who had refused to sign the oath when their regiment was mustered, gave in at the last moment aud were mustered la separately." ' Thirty-eight members of the Second regiment and 43 of the First, however, were honorably discharged by order of Governor Dunne before the muster­ ing, on the pleas of wives and mothers who would be left without means of support If these m.en had gone to the border. doctor 8tone's Sermon. Rev. John Timothy Stone, chaplain of the First Ulinols cavalry, preached a "good-hy" sermon to the cavalry­ men before they left Springfield. A soapbox served 9s an open-air pulpit. Then, when Doctor Stone made his anbearnnce, the soldiers knelt on the ground and sang "Nearer, My God, to Thee." "Whatever faith you possess yon will show now," said Doctor Stone. "The sort of experience that you are undergoing will bring out the <jualitie« of your character as no other exist­ ence could do It, for when yon camp with men In a situation like ttiis you learn what kind of men they are. "And It will develop your faith'-- and faith In your relationship to God. Remember, as you face the great re­ sponsibility your country has placed upon you, as you go to sleep each niv:ht under God's heaven, and as you love your wives and mothers back home, to live with your faith and with God. - ' 'Tour mission is a noble one, for Mexico will be a better countrj for your going there. Consecrate all that you have to serve your country and your God." Doctor Stone then led three cheers for "the soldiers' wives," who. he told, would make the real sacrifices. He concluded with this player: "Almighty God, bless our couatry^ To thee we pledge our lives and IimiotT Give us the spirit Of godliness and guide us in the mission on whicK we have started* Amen." Six military bauds of 28 men each accompanied the twcT infantry bri­ gades of the Guard now concentrated at San Antonio for border duty. Each departing regiment was led out of camp by Its band. Reaiis of ragtime and martial music were taken by each band. In addition to music rehearsals, members of the band are trained in Red Cross work and are expected during hostilities to guard camp. They are armed with auto­ matic pistols only. "Make haste slowly" was the nlogan adopted by the men of the field artil­ lery, although there was no branch of the service where the men w«re as eager to get to the border. Bwt they did-4iot want to go ha%.f pre­ pared, and while other organizations were Insisting on being equipped and started on their way Immediately tlu< artillerymen made the best of their time in camp. Daily they went tI*rough gun firing practice, poaltlon drills, horse maneuvers, and other training stunts. For Flying Squadron. Nearly twenty prospective a'dators signed up as the nucleus for a tiyiug squadron of the United States Central Aviation reserve at a meeting recently held in Chicago. Charles Dickinson, president of the Aero Club of Illinois, presided. The recruits were slgufcd by Jack Vilas, prospective captain of Com­ pany A. hydroaeroplanes ; W. C. W «|)- ward of Company B, the land planes, and Frank Champion, land tliers. A t-simpuigti to raise $20,000 also nns started. The money Is to be used,, to ~buy and maintain two aeroplanes and to furnish instruction to the aviatiou recruits. The&pum «f $1,400 was con­ tributed at the opening meeting. It l« planued to use the Aerocluh's Held ju < .«-. i•<> lor the land fiicrt#ind the lake front for the air and water boats.

Fred McLaughlin, millionaire polo player and roeml>er of the Onwenlsia club, one of the Battery C privates, says If war Is declured he wants to be the first American soldier across the Rio Grande. The polo expert has a personal grudge against the Mexi­ cans. » He motored from Los Angeles Into Mexico some, time ago. Once In Akuh Prieta he sa\t a Mexican army officer standing on a corner and going up to him asked1 politely: "Do you speak English?" The Mextcan looked at him and said: "Get off the sidewalk."

BEIjI^ERS, Acting Director of the Sunday Sohool Course in t-ha Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright by Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JULY 9 THE THE3SALONIAN CHRISTIAN*. LESSON Tiapr-I Thess, 1:14-24. ; „ GOLDEN TEXT--If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jestis will God bring with him.--I Thess. 4:14 R. V. This epistle Is probably one of the earliest of Patil'e letters (A. D. 50-53?). It links itself closely with the seven­ teenth chapter of the Book of Acta. Driven from Berea, Paul goes to Ath­ ens and later to Corinth, while Tim" othy returns to Thessalonlca and cat* ries a report to Paul at Corinth. Whereupon, perhaps within six months, Paul writes his epistle. A study of the two letters addressed to this church teaches us how Paul ad­ vised and instructed his Gentile con­ verts. The first is a particularly cheer­ ful, positive and helpful exhortation. I. Thanksgiving and Testimony (1: 1-90; 2:17-20). (1) Salutation (1:1) The phrase, "the church of the Thee- salonlans which is in God" Is nowhere else used. Some think it to be unique because Paul had so little to condemn or to criticize. The deity of Jesus Christ and that grace and peace pro­ ceed from God is clearly set forth. (2) Thanksgiving (vv. 2 and (a) For works of faith; (b) for their "labor of love," and (c) their "pa­ tience" (endurance). That these works were "in the sight of God" la evidence of their genuineness, and such spiritual fruitage awakened (3) Knowledge in Paul's mind (v. 4). They were "elected" to salvation, holi­ ness and likeness to Jesus (vv. 6-9; I Pet 1:2; Eph. 1:4, 5; Rom. 8:29). (4) Testimony (vr. 6-10). Paul could appeal to the known conduct of him­ self and his friends to substantiate, to prove, the standing of those candi­ dates for holiness who had been "elect­ ed." His words had not come to them tn mere exhortation and eloquence but "also In power," which governed their conduct. This was not to win ap­ plause, but in his own case he labored for their sakes (v. 5) and In their case they had received the word "with Joy" in the midst of affiiction to the end that they became examples (pat­ terns or types; literally, like the far echoing notes of a trumpet) (v. 7) to all that dwelt in the regions there* about. Their obedience, consistency and missionary spirit (vv. 8-10) sound­ ed forth everywhere and all that needed to be done was to say, "Behold the church of Thessalonica!" (5) Paul's glory and joy (2:17-20). Paul sets forth his character as a Christian worker (2:1-16). (a) His physical boldness (vv. 1,2); (b) his faithful, Im­ partial teaching (w. 3-6), affectionate­ ly kind (7,8), unselfish/ Working for his own support (v. 9), holy and con* sistent (13-16). No one "had anything on him," and such a life dares to be bold, though it Is not free from per­ secution (v. 15). (6) Paul's desire (2:17-20). He here sets forth why this letter was written. Separated from them by persecution, he desires to return and supply the things they were yet lacking and to see face to face those whom he loved. Satan pro- vented (v. 18) doubtless using the bit­ ter persecution stirred up against him. He had therefore sent Timothy from Berea to comfort them (3:15), who had made such a good report (3:1-10) that it urged Paul to greater prayer (tt. 11-13.) on their behalf. II. Ignorance Illumined (4:13-18). Paul rebukes certaio^sin® (4:1-12), ex­ horting them to gftjfiness and to love one another. He then touches upon a doctrine which was one of hla strongest reasons for writing to these Thessalonians. The imminent return of Christ had been strongly empha­ sized, but In the months of Paul's ab­ sence some of their number had died, died without seeing Christ's promised glory. WTould those who remained have any advantage over the dead saints when Christ should come? It Js to set their thinking aright that Paul writes. This he does by outlining the great and blessed hope of the church In its "rapture" at Christ's coming. This is more clearly set forth here than anywhere else in the New Testa­ ment. Those who mourned over de­ parted loved ones are not to "sorrow as those who had no hope." Jesut the risen, everlasting Savior and kinr, is certainly coming again in his king^ dom of glory, "with a shout, with the voice of the archangel." Their sor­ row is not that of the world, for those departed are but "sleeping" and will come back with Jesus when he comes. Together they who sleep and we who are alive shall be caught up "to meet the Lord in the air," all to dwell to­ gether forevermorc with the T«ord, in one glorious company when his king­ dom is fully come and his will Is com pletely done on earth as well as In heaven. Their bodies, risen from the grave snd reunited to their souls in a glorified condition, and we who re- maJn, the whole church or body of Christ caught up like Enoch of old (Heb. 11) or Elijah--a glorious hope! This Is not alone Paul's word upon this question, but this he says "by (or in) the Wqrd of God" (v. 15). No wonder, then, that we should comfort one another "with these words" (v. IS). The Lord, who is now in heaven (Acts 1:9; Eph. 1:20), shall himself descend from heaven; not his spirit, not a great revival, army uf angels, or tocial reconstruction of society, but descend himself, personally, visibly and bodily (Acts 1:11; Jno. 14;t; Hefc 9:28; Phil. 3:20, 21). Paul's description of the events ol this second coming, this rapture ol the church, has not yet been fulfilled, but he and the diaciplea were not mie taken as to Its nearness, its imati aence. a - AYe<etabkTfcWualfarf«M jrine aor MQB» ft ness and ruis,|fevcris Children Cry For iltjS -V ! n*< W.y ^ V: '-3* ' What is CASTORIA CMtorid Is a harmless substitute for Castor OH, Pave* . gorie, Drops and Soothing Syrups.

Mr. Seymour Hicks relates with great relish the following yarn. When he was going to play Richard m, the hump-ba&ked king, a well- known dramatist remarked to him: "Seymour, I hear you are going to play Richard?" "Yes, I am," replied Mr, Hlcfca. "Ah, well," the other reworked, thoughtfully, "you'll he saved some trouble In the make-up. Yoti won't have to wear a hump.!' "Why not?" Mr. Hicks asked, rather surprised. "Oh, your audience will have that," was the prompt reply. Some men are long on dollars and short on comon sense. A successful physician is one who succeeds In concealing his Ignorance.
