Death of an Augusta Boy A shadow has been cast over the usual joviality of camp life by the reported death of two of the militia men, Corporal Owen C. Baxter of Au gusta, a member of Company A, First Regiment (Captain \V. A. Woodson, commanding!, and Private B. J. Wil liams of Savannah, Company I, First Regiment (Oglethorpe Right I nfan try). Corporal Baxter’s death resulted from a fever contracted several days ago. He has been ill during the entire time of the camp, having been forced to re main in the field hospital since Wed nesday, on which day he was over come with the heat. His death was rather unexpected as it was not thought that he was so seriously ill. Corporal Baxter has been a member of the militia for four years and* has attended every encampment of the National Guards since he has been a member of the organization. In civil ian life, he was an operative at the Sibley Mill. He is survived by h!s mother. Mrs. William Baxter, who re sides at 1736 Hicks street, and one brother, George Baxter, \yho Is living In Galveston at the present time. The Interment will take place from Christ church, of which Mr. Baxter was a member.

The body will be taken to Savannah today for burial. He was a member of Co. O. Yesterday’s Work at tha Camp. The previous advance having brought the attacking rarty to a point 1,000 yards from the imaginary enemy, tHe problem jlesterday consisted in approaching the enemy by stealth til! a point was reached where he could be charged. The men cut through un derbrush, waded streams and crawled through swamps for a distance of nearly 800 yards, being protected by the fire of details posted on elevations. The platoon commanded by Captain George Haines broke through the un derbrush 800 yards from the enemy’s station and opened fire. The other platoons Arne within effective range almost immediately. The entire time consumed by the advance was sllght lv more than an hour. The program for the remainder of the day was the same as the day be fore. . Schools for non-commlsslonari officers, schools for commissioned of ficers. the general meeting of officers at brigade headquarters, and the fac tual ride for the officers of rank high er than captain took up the after noon.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD Baseball is the Biggest Thing in Camp For Savannah Companies Just Now; One Game on for Today The Line-Ups of the Teams—Hospital Corps of the First Brigade Had Their First Drill Yesterday—Drilled About Two Hours. (By S, J. ORR, Savannah Press.) The biggest thing in the camp for the Savannah companies just now is the baseball games which are sched uled to be played before they leave. Saturday they take on the Governor’s Horse Guards, or what is known as Troop L-. This company, though they did not come to camp prepared to play ball, say they will put up a good fight and fully expect to lick the Sa vannah company. The latter are equal ly confident and are ready to back their opinions with real money. The line-up follows: Hussars —Baehe, c.; Claghoen, p.; Jackson. Ist.; PI. Kelly, 2nd; Hender son, 3d; Dana, ss.; G. Tyson, If.; Gause, cf.; Sauls, rs. This is the team with which they expect to play andl beat the team of the first infantry Monday. They are open to the challenge of any team from any of th e other regiments in camp and will promise to put up a stiff fight. The Horse Guards may be as follows, but they have not definitely decided their line-up: No Colonel in Better Spirits Over Condition oi His Men Than Col. Orville Hall, ot Fifth Georgia Boys of Atlanta Have Made a Very Favora ile Beginning Minstrel to Be Put on During Week By Company H. (By M. T- Bryson, Private, Fifth Regiment.) Tha boys of the Fifth Georgia are on the job here, at Camp Wheeler, from the word go. No reg ment in camp has made a more .avorable be ginning and no colonel is in better spirits over the conlition of his men, than is Col. Orville H. Hall. And the cause for the situation does not have to be sought in some remote circumstances. Over at Colonel Hall’s headquarters the colonel is continuously planning for the welfare of his men —he and h s entire staff. No showers have as vet been placed near these men for their special use, whereas the other men of the regiment have been un loving these for a couple of days. The fact is, that these commanders are placing theii owl conveniences second to that of the men under them. They realize that the fellows must be bom ortable, and that con ditions must be hygienic if the best results are to be obtained. An amusing incident occurred up at the guard tents Thursday night. Two of the best of iriends involved in a quarrel and for the time were placed in the guard tent as punish ment. At first they were confined in the main guard tent, but once in there they proceeded Hi settle the matter at issue. It wlft necessary for three other men to put an end to the affair, and put the-lfjp in two tents apart. It is.ttSld -on the boys that they stayed \waketaH during the night, at times rniljig out on each other as being resronsible for the confinement, again to the old time companionable verbal Itercourse. although yards distance from one another. About noon Friday the ffritire camp was invaded by the Boys’ Home Club Auxiliary, who are in thq contest now being conducted by the Augusta Herald. These lad es were looking for all manner of coigns and labels Many Soldiers No! Hardened To Camp. Life Have Hard Time However, This is a Minor Affair and the Men Are Now Get ting Used to the Life of a Soldier—The Work of a Mess Sergeant. (By a Sergeant of Co. B, 2nd Infzntry.) | The Macon batallion from the Sec ond Infantry is composed of the Ma con Volunteers, the Macon Hussars, the Floyd Rifles, all of Macon, and the Jackson Rifles of Jackson. This bstr.l- Iton is a very efficient and well ordered unit scoring a higher percentage of points than any other batallion tn the state at the last annual Inspection of the state and United States officers. The officers and men are undergo ing a rather unpleasant period of the encampment Just now, as they are experiencing the hardships of the pre liminary arranging. There Is prob ably ten per cent of the enlisted strength disabled on account of their not having become acellmsted. and hardened, These ailments are, fortu nately, of minor consideration, such as lack of rest and tender feet; and al ready these matters are beginning to •eciifjr themselves. In fact conditions THE ONE PAPER IN MOST HOMES—THE ONLY PAPER IN MANY HOMES. AUGUSTA. GEORGIA. SATURDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 25. 1914. Andrews, c.; Grovan, p.; Thompson, Ist.; Nolan, 2nd.; Parks, ss.; Win holtz, 3d; Adolphus, If.; Dunn, cf.; Elrod, rs. The teams have their sup porters and a good deal of coin is ev pected to change hands on the game. The hospital corps of the First Georgia had their first drill yester day morning and were put through some hard tactics. They found out that the men of this corps ar© very important in battle and that each man is expected s o have some of the first rudiments of first aid to the injured so they may be able to help out any men they might find on the field. Captain Adams assisted today the drill given by Sergeant Blocker of the regulars. The men drilled about two hours and were put to the test several times during the course of the instruc tion. The officers of the Savannah com panies are very high in their praise of the officers’ mess# They say the only objection they have is that the food is so good they are always tempt ed to eat too much. which count Tor votes In the con test. The name o only one of the ladies was learned. With many like MBs Daisy McGuire the club will be able to gel not only labels and coit ions but whatever else of help or fa vors they need. Miss McQuire took the camp by storm. Company H, of tha Fifth Georgia, under command of Gapta n J. VV Quillian, is arranging for a minstrel to be put on at some Augusta theater next Tuesday night. Only a small amount of talent outside the com pany will be used. The show Is at tracting considerable attention on ac count of the complex.on of the men taking part. It will include one of the best quartetts to be had, compos ed entirely ot enlisted men. After mess Thursday even’ng, the o'fleers of the regiment were assem bled at Colonel Hall’s quarters, and from there they called on General Walter G. Harris, and also Colonel Mallory, who is In charge of the en tire camp. Colonel Hall ordered the Fifth Regiment band up to Colonel Mallory's headquarters Thursday evening to entertain the colonel and his staff and others who were there. An official inspection of all the kitchens was made Thursday and every precaution taken against every unsanitary condition. The drill Friday morning was along the same line of that of Thursday. The war strength companies oT 150 men wore formed on the assigned drill fields, and enemy outlined, and advancement on them was made by rushes and In a crouching position, alwys under cover. It ws hot on the field and more than one man fell under the test. (jolonel Hall exi ressed satisfaction at the showing made by his men.

One striking feature relating to tlx- Second regiment Is the difficulty witn which rations, even the staple com modities, are procured. This has worked a hardship on the men and has seemed inexplicable; but now It all seems clear enough In that "mess ser geants" of all the different companies are appreciating the fact that there Is a definite purpose for this on the part of United Btates government, namely, an Intentional Imposing of these unsatisfactory srrsngements |n order to simulate possible wnr con ditions and thereby text the resources of company commanders snd their subordinates in the commissary de partment I®®s)®® Sfadl ©i Cud© l®ir Tarrant M@fl©n§© ‘Boss' Barnes Says the Colonel’s the Real Issue 1 ;-.r> WILLIAM BARNES, JR.

That Is the real Issue ” VILLA NOT BUYING ARMS Report False That He is Acting Independently of Carranza. Deal For Release of Tarrazas, Jr. Washington Confident That Peace is at Hand Washington—Officials watching shiiments of arms to Mexico Btated positively today that General Villa was not buy.ng ammunition of war independently of the authority 'of Gen. Carranza, as had been report ed from the border. It was suggested that the reports arose because Villa’s agents, lumillar with the equipment of his troops, were negotiating purchases directly, but that lias been the practice for many months. 200,00 Head. El Paso, Texas- —A concession to export from Ch huahua state all the cattle owned by Luis Terrazas, Jr., was consummated with General Villa today, according to announcement by J. Jfl. Garrett ot Corpus Chrlstl, Tex. ft was said the first shipment would total approximately 200,000 head and that most of the cattle would be mar keted at Kansas City, Fort.

All that the Carbajal government seeks Is amnesty for political Offenders and generals guarantees Tor the peo ple living In the territory once con trolled by Huerta. Carranza Is ready to grant that., but he w II not give Immunity to men Involved In the plot that resulted In Mudero’s assassination. Probably Carbajal will not object to that ex ception.

Grave Views Taken of Situa tion—Prompt Mobilization of Czar’s Army Expected London.—ln hII the European cap! tals today a grave view is taken ol’ the Austro-Servian situation, arising out of thy presentation to Servla by the Austrian government of a virtual ultimatum demanding the suppression ol the pan-Kervian movement and the punishment of those concerned In the recent assassination of the heir to the Austrian throne. Diplomatic circles see in t/ie dispute and hi the added possibility of Russian interference on behalf of the little Slav nation, the danger of a general European war. Under Protest.

Prompt Mobilization. St. Petersburg.—orders for prompt mobilization of the Russian army w«»r„ looked for today as a rs&iJlt of the call ing of the council of ministers, pie sided over by the emperor and held at the Palace of Psterhof early this morning. From presnt indications Russia ap pears prepared to go to any extremes rather than tolerate the downfall of Servia. Many of the newspapers demand the immediate mobilization of the army on the Austrian frontier. The Bourse Gazette declares Russia “cannot for a moment, tolerate an attack on Her via or on Servian independence.’’ The newspaper adds that Russia, “while not. wanting war, will not flinch from armed intervention to protect the Slav from eOrman fury.” Thinks War Probable.

A peculiarly French atmosphere wiiH lent to the affair by the quarrel of the judges. Th s was added co bv the piquant contents of the former premier's love letters, whose recital before the public caused the prisoner to fall unconscious and to remain for a long time In a swoon. Beyond the reading of the letters little progress was made and It gen erally was expected the trial would extend far Into next, week.
