ILLINOIS GOURD ME < / fldw Belongs to United States Army Organization. MXTAKE THE FEDERAL OATH Dunne and Camp Lincoln Have Both Been Busy Places During i: the Past Week--Machine <"i» t< k- 4 Guns Are Coming. Springfield.--The president of the - United States, commander In chief of the array and navy, is now in direct "control of the guardsmen of Illinois. The boys from country and city who tiare been state militiamen are* now / aoldiers of the nation. They have all mustered in--sevenil thousand of &ei4--and war conditions of disci­ pline and training have been estub- Ite'^fed at the concentration points here. No busier places are to be found in the whole state than Camp Durtne and Oiimp Lincoln. Thousands of tons of ^ ifnpplies are here, and at least as much more is coming as fast as the railroads can deliver the goods. Al­ ready a tremendous amount of- work has been done making the grounds fit " for use by the soldiers. The work of military organization and the harden­ ing of the men for the rigors of sol­ diery is going forward with true U. S. A. efficiency. Soon after the mobilization order Went forth it became known that there was a woeful lack of equipment. Public-spirited citizens took matters in hand. Now positive assurance has been given by the war department that the guardsmen will get everything they need. Under stress of necessity the government can divert to its own uses the enormous amount of army supplies being produced in this country for the •allies. Word From War Office. - The last contingents of men reached H'1- <Bkmp Saturday. They were the Third, '*>' }•"' fourth and Eighth Infantry regiments. £' ' with their ranks filled practically to War strength. "'5j£ !-x ' A strong effort had been made by the afficers and men of the Fifth and Sixth |p' K Iftfantry regiments to have these two -commands included in the call, but the :> effort was not successful. In connec- ' tlon with this Governor Dunne received f the following telegram from Adjt. Gen., J. P. Cain of the war office at Wash- 'Vvtr fI-*'.V-- ••-Replytnir to your telegram reference to t> „ ^ ^Sfelling additional infantry, the call was based on the 12-division plan, which has been recopnizea since 1S14, and de­ parture would throw the < entire mo­ bilization into confusion. The regiments •called were not designated by the war de­ partment and selection was left to the gjnvernor. The soldierly thing to be done By those organizations not called is to ac^ ©ept the situation as gracefully as pos- * Stole. It is Suggested that privates in ex­ cess regiments could be utilized to great advantage in filling ranks of regiments mustered in. Officers and noncommis- aioned officers of skeletonized comp# . les could be utilized in recruiting to meet emergencies for state and nation. ~r '7j Many of the noncommissioned offi- ^iers and men of the two regiments • round other commands at Springfield. ' While others remained with their old regiments in the expectation that ad- Ational troops would soon be needed •nd they would then have a chance to flee active service, and it is thought here that their expectations will be realized. Cost of Mobilization. The cost of mobilization of Illinois troops has run into big figures and Severn! million dollars have been ex­ pended already by the state and fed­ eral authorities for supplies arid equip­ ment, for horses for the cavalry, field artillery and technical corps requiring mounts. ' . Gen. Frank S. Dickson announced the expenditure df $739,200. This sum brought the militia 3,696 animals con­ sidered fit by army inspectors for a rigorous campaign in favorable cir­ cumstances. The greed of the god of war be­ comes amazingly apparent in a perusal of the huge orders ftar rations. For five days the quartermaster's depart­ ment provided supplies as follows : Fresh mutton 100,000 pounds Bacon Canned meat ...... * Corned beef hash .,. Dried fish .......... Canned fish..... ,„•«. Canned turkey Flour ....... Baking ponder...... Beans . . . 4 . . . . . . . . . . Potatoes ........... Prunes .......... Coffee Sugar ...." Milk . . . v . . . . . . . Vinegar P e p p e r . . .

War is not only what he said it was, but it is expensive." "What will, in your opinion, be the average cost a day for the mainten­ ance in mobilization of the Illinois Na­ tional Guard?" he was asked. "More than $100,000, I might say," he replied after some reflection. .. 60.000 pounds .. 80,000 pounds .. 80.000 pounds .. 70.000 pounds .. 80,000 pounds .. 80,000 pounds 9,000 pounds . . 400 pounds ., 12,000 pounds . .100.000 pounds . , 64.000 pounds . . 6,000 pounds .. 16.000 pounds .. 3,000 pounds 40 gallons .. 3,200 pounds 200 pounds * 3;000 pounds .... 8,000 pounds 80 gallons .. l6$6a pounds .. 25 cords .. 1,305 gallons .. 16.000 pounds 900 pounds 675 pounds ..195,000 pounds BATTLE IN MEXICO SCENE OF cttifX LfASa CAPTURE OF FIVE TOWNS GIVES SLAVS POSSESSION OF f N •* TlttE PROVINCE JUAUE f- ,•**- fc-;- ". :̂ a-' j.i'.,. eiT'% • Me fip;/ - V Machine Guns Coming. ^ "She machine guns are coming. Prac­ tical assurances have reached officers bere at Camp Lincoln that before many 4ays elapse these deadly engines of War, so vividly written into the history •<Bt modern warfare, will be here. Adju- tant General Dickson had Just about abandoned hope of getting these from the government and was considering ttie advisability of mounting the troop plainly as a cavalry unit. Prominent citizens and bu^ness men of Chicago felt the importance* of this arm of the . «ervice and Joined with the regiment's officers in urging an early Issue of guns. Some of them wrote to Presi 4ent Wilson, earnestly beseeching his Interest as commander In chief-of the Army, and now It is believed that a lattery of four pieces will be on the grounds at Camp Lincoln before the guardsmen are culled south. Expeeta ah Early Shipment. : Capt. A. E. McEvers, regimental quar termaster, has received a telegram 5jfrom Colonel Nicholson advising that there will be an early shipment of regi- *°ental ordnance. That magic word Xt- -fcrought eager smiles to the faces of ' j. '•" |lie troopers. Machine guns are the only regimental ordnance In the list. "I have definite information that the prospects of an early arrival of our s fruns has become very bright," said j^v'Xleot. Paul O'Donnell, commanding C the M. G. T. "Let us hope that it will If^-ilbe a very few days." .

Three thousand five hundred men of the First, Second and Seventh infan­ try regiments arrived here from Chi­ cago. Each regiment was well over the re­ quired peace strengtj) of 65 men and three officers to the company. Colonel Sanborn has 1,286 in his regiment Colonel Garrity 1,409 In the Second and Colonel Mori arty 1,254 In the Seventh. All federal and state property in possession of the regiments has been moved liere In accordance with Adju­ tant General Dickinson's orders. Per­ sonal property of each soldier has been loaded in the company wagons and will be issued from the mobilization camp.. All along the streets in Chicago as the regiments marched to their trains were thousands of men and women, many with fiags and bunting, to cheer the boys" on their way. Many of the women who gathered at Western avenue and Jackson boule­ vard, where the Second infantry halt­ ed, could not say all they wanted to the departing ones ip^ th« all-too-short half-hour halt allo>ved by Colonel Gar­ rity. Many of them walked along be­ side the column as the companies moved out, and the captains, in recog­ nition of their feelings, gave the "route step" command, which allowed the men to talk. Only at Halsted street, when the station and the work of getting aboard came near, did the lines of military discipline tighten, and the blare of the band and the steady clatter of march­ ing feet became the only noise in op­ position to the cheering of the spec­ tators. Adjutant General Dickson wanted none of the guardsmen at Camp Dunne until conditions for their reception were perfect. General Dickson's order delaying the entraining of three regiments was after an inspection of the camp in company with Surgeon General Jacob Frank and Governor Dunne. The six regiments now established at Camp Dunne find themselves In a military reservation without a flaw. There is a place for every one of the 6,500 men and scientific provision for his health and comfort. Most dismal of all the epauletted persons here just now are the mem­ bers of the general and administra­ tive affairs. For they will cot accom­ pany the army of Illinois when Vt crosses the boundaries ot the stat*. Only officers attached to regL'fenti will go. As matters stand not even the hard-working Adjutant General Dick­ son will accompany his troops out cf the state, although bis talents as a military , organizer have aroused tlie adtnlration of regular officers. Dickson's only chance would come if the war department should decide to order a division from this territory Indiana and Illinois constitute a di­ vision. Then it would be a tossup whether General Dickson or the adiu tant general of Indiana should com­ mand. The two brigades from Illinois wll be under the command of Brig. Gep. D. Jack Foster of Chicago, command­ ing the First brigade. He is the senior of Brig. Gen. Henry. R. Hill of Qulncy,. commanding the Seeond brigade.
