Trumpeter Lee has obtained these promises (not vet actual enlistments) from members of the Olympic band of this city. The only thing that is holding some of the men back is the question of pay.

Trumpeter Lee is now add- ing to his work by trying to start a local fund to care for the families.

New York, July 10.—General ard Wood, commander of tt ment of the east, annaunced today that after three weeks and a day since President Wilson's orders for the mo- bilization of the national guard, only 43,000 men have been sent to the front out of a possible 130,000 in his command of twenty-fwo states and the District of Columbia. This means, he declared, that there are 90,000 men vet to be sent to the front. General Leonard Wood asserted that there are now in eamp about 41,- €00 men and that the difference be- tween 41,000 men and 90000, which wonld be the full war strength of the commands, are vet to be enlisted and enrolled in the federal service. General Wood denied that, in an dress before the convention of the tional Education association, criticized the national guard for delay in Teon- > depart- he officers and men of the “springing to_arms.’ Dy “a rather heavy spring to arms” the general added. he meant to con- vey the impression that it required an unusually long time to mobilize even a small number of the guar fv criticism,” said the general, “was not of the officers and men, but of the system. It was intended to point out the necessity for prepared- ness and indicate how fatally slow would be this kind of mobilization in a serious emergency.” General Wood announced that troop movements from now on would be slow. Weeks may be required before certain commands in the south will be able to move. General Wood will Yeave for the Plattsburgh military camps. where he expects until Friday.

Detroit, Mich., July 10.—President Wilson urged peace reached by mutual understanding rather than force and defended the democratic party as a friend of business in speeches today to enthusiastic Michigan audiences. De- troit streets were lined with thousands £ who shouted greetings and vaved American flags at him where- #ver he appeared, the hall in which he spoke to the World's Salesmanship Congress was jammed, an audience estimated at 50,000 greeted him at the Ford motor plant and tonight in.

A prominent republican had told him during the day that he had been de_ riving pleasure from association with democrats and the executive recited the incident and declared that he long had_enjoved the friendship and com- panionship of republicans a teacher, “he would m something.” All “We have because be- like to teach In the Same Boat. been trying, some for a good many ye to politics, as well as elsewhere, son, that we are all in the of us, teach in this les me boat,” he said. “We have common interests and it is our business to understand and serve those commc interests.

It Doesn’t Pay to Hire Unsuccessful Men, Says Chalmers. Prominent Americans, speaking to- day at the opening ions of the World's Salesmanship Congress, urg- ed the business men of the United tes who seek foreign trade to ad- their methls to conform with national customs and business methods of each country they invade. President Wilson touched upon th topic in his opening address this fore- noon. D. M. Barrett, general chair- man of the congress: Secretay of Commerce William C. Redfield, Lafay- ette Young, the Des Moines publish- er, and Hugh Chalmers, Detroit man- ufacturer, preached the same gospel. “Sell your foreign customers what they want to buy and serve them as they want to be served.” was the key- note of several addresses made this afternoon. Mr. Redfield declared that American business, attemnting to broaden its foreign field, will face the greatest test in its history when the European war is over. Success or failure, he said, rests with American business* men and American business methods. Mr. Chalmers devoted much of his address o suggestions regarding the hiring of salesmen. The automobile maker recommended that emplovers have several confer- ences with prospective sales before hirin gthem. “I do not believe that as a rule it pays to employ unsuccess- ful men” he said. ‘They are, of course, exceptions to this rule but why Pletimeee 4 e First Submarine One of Fleet DEUTSCHLAND TO BE FOLLOW- ED BY BREMEN IN-8 WEEKS.
