TRAMP BEGINS TODAY Third, Fourteenth and Seventy. first Will be Followed by Other Infantry Units, McALLEN. Tex, Aug. 16. <> The Fourteenth and Seventv-first Infantry regiments set out from Mission and ! McAllen respectively 'this morning for {the first jeg of the eleven day march scheduled for all the infantry units. The Third Regiment will leave Pharr Thursday. The march will cover a route of approximatel} ninety miles to Youngs ranch and return. The Second, Seventh and Twenty- third regiments will leave their camps on the 22d and the Twelfth, Sixty-ninth and Seventy-dfourth on the 27th. The march was to have started yes- terday but at the request of the col- onels it was postponed to give the men a chance to draw their pay. Neith- er State nor Federal par has been forthcoming for either of the reg ments which went out today. The Sev éxty-first, for example, which has been under the orders of the govern ment for almost two months has not yet seen a cont of money,. and is now confronted with another delay of per- haps eleven days. The Colonels were particularly anxious for their men to be paid before leaving so that they could, if they wished, send money home, but the arrangements were not completed. It is expected. though. that if the paymaster does not mvertake them ait Mission, he wil} follow them into the field and give them their cash there to add to the weight of their marching equipment. It is also expected at division head- quarters that field post office will be established at Sterling's ranch or Mon- te Cristo so that those who choose can buy money orders from that point. The Second Feld Artillery. which was paid for June by the Federal gov- ernment on Friday, and the Signal Battalion were paid by the State yes- terday afternon. About $10,500 was due the artillery regiment from the State to supplement the $7,000 paid by the Federal time from the mobilization call up to the first of July. Fach captain brought up his battery to the paymaster's tent with the men in alphabetical order, according -to rank. and sighed a statement that the names on the payrolj were those of the individuals entitled to receive the money. Col. Wingate also signed these statements. whereupon a clerk read off each man's name and the amount due him while the paymaster counted out the money. Major J. Scott Button.
