Avenutes of cortmyjnication between Springlield and the commanders of military divisions were kept open by the telegraph and telephone compa­ nies. Governor Dunne did not go to bod, but kept in close touch with er> <iry branch of the militia. The order to move was the thing of the minute. The armories in Chicago and' other cities were thronged. Guardsmen came first, some in their Sunday best, some In thfeir working clothes, weary from work, and some hastily attired, as if they had bolted from home while In the act of prepar­ ing for bed. Wives and Sweethearts. Then came wives and mothers and sweethearts. The company rooms were filled with soldiers asking for informa­ tion and with officers only wishing they might be able to say, "Fall In!" "There will be no delay," said Adjut­ ant General Dickson. "The prepared- news fever has done its work too thor­ oughly. Every regiment in the state has been recruited practically to peace strength under the regulations, and will, therefore, be ready for service when they reach Springfield." Colonel Moriarty of the Seventh In­ fantry. Colonel Sanborn of the First, and Colonel Garrity of the Second In­ fantry were all in their armory quar­ ters at Chicago soon after the news reached them. "I was making plans for the annual camp," said Colonel Garrity. "so I am already on the job. I can summon the regiment In a few hours." Assemble at Fair Grounds. Camp Lincoln and the -state fair grounds at Springfield were designated as places of mobilization. Camp Lin­ coln is not large enough alone, but the fair grounds near by offer plenty of field room. The exposition buildings were used for storage of equipment. Tt w^as sale! that the sickness during the mobilization of 1898 was largely caused by using the buildings as bar­ racks. Full wnr strength was the hope of the military authorities. This would be 15,000 men. It would mean that half of the men sent to the front would be untrained, but there Is hope that many places will be filled from the 1898 veteran corps. Employers of 'labor everywhere met ,-tlie spirit of the call with eagerness. All were disposed to permit such of their men as belong to the guard to take leaves of absence. Motor manufacturers were filled with the spirit of mobilization and got in touch with the authorities, offering all the equipment at their command.

The Chamberlain bill, which be- fomes a law on July 1, allots approxi­ mately 23,000 officers and men to the Illinois National guard. Inasmuch as this Is almost exactly the size of an In­ fantry division at war strength, Wash- ngton will undoubtedly direct that fu­ rore recruiting be done with the for­ mation of a division In view. To form this army unit Illinois needs in addl- to its present troops: One regiment of infantry. Five companies of engineers. Two regiments of field artillery. One radio company. One aero squadron. One ammunition train. One supply train. One engineer train. Engineers Well Equipped. Much of the most important work connected with modern warfare is that at the engineers--the men who build and destroy bridges, construct rail­ roads, and plan fortifications. Prob­ ably no state body in the union Is bet­ ter equipped to perform this work in Mexico, and there is sure to be plenty of it, than the engineer corps of the Illinois National Guard. Naval Militia Ready. The Illinois naval militia Is recruit­ ed up to its maximum strength--700 men, in ten divisions and a marine company. The first six divisions and the marine company are stationed in Chicago; the others in Moline, Peoria, Altou and Quincy. Gall May Wreck Wedding Plana.

Chihuahua City, HeL, June 19.--• Gen. Jacinto Trevlno, commanding the Oerranzlsta army of the north, advised General PerShing, American expedi­ tionary commander, that any move­ ment of American troops from their present tines to the south, east or west would be considered a hostile act and a signal to commence warfare. General Trevino acted upon specific instructions from General Carranza. Washington, June 19.--President Wilson virtually completed his reply to the Carranza note. Renewed border raids and the anti-Mexican demon­ strations In Mexico have not altered Mr. Wilson's determination that in tervention will come only If it Is forced by the acts of Carranza or through his failure to exercise control over his army or people. , The note contains no statement, It la said, that should arouse hostility unless Carranea Is deliberately set upon bringing on a clash with the United States.. The note reiterates the declaration that the United States forces will re­ main In the borderland of Mexico until there remains no probability of bandit raids In American territory. There was no confirmation of the report from El Paso that General Ga- vlra had been executed in Mexico City, charged with treason for having entered Into an unauthorized confer­ ence with General Pershing.

El Paso, Tex., June 19.--Mexican troops crossed the border 12 miles west of El Paso and raided the small town of Norla. N. M. A battle followed. One 'Mexican was reported silled. There were no American casualties, according to a report from the sheriff at Noria received by General Bell. Three automobile trucks with a de­ tachment of soldiers have been rushed to re-enforce the civilian guard. Gen. George Bell, Jr., commander of the brigade stationed here for the pro­ tection of El Paso and the border In the Immediate vicinity, issued or­ ders to assemble the entire force. The only explanation for the order was that unusual activity on the part of the Carranza- garrison at Juarez bad been noticed throughout the day. General Gonzales, the Juarez com­ mander, has posted an order calling all Mexicans over seventeen years of age to the cuartel for military Instruc­ tion. Five thousand additional Mexi­ can troops have been brought to points along the Mexican Central rail­ road north of Villa Ahumada. pre­ sumably as re-enforcements for the Juarez garrison. The total number of troops in Gen­ eral Bell's command la approximately 3,500, Including several pieces of heavy artillery. He is satisfied that the situation can be cOhtrolled with­ out serious danger to life or property In El Paso. It was asserted that the expedition­ ary command Is amply prepared to care for itself In &ny eventuality.
