and the oTficers of the hospital corps.
All work was In perfect harmony and
the greatest assistance was given to
tee sanitary rnen by tne line officers
with the result that they have been
krtft closer together than at any time
heretofore. It was the most instruc
tive camp ever held and the work
done showed progress all along the

STATEMENT OF
SECRETARY
NTADDO
Treasury Dep’t Will Help
As Far At “It Legitimate
ly May’’ During Present
European War Crisis.
Washington, July 31 . Secretary
McAdoo isued a statement today sav
ing the treasury department will heln
as far as “it legitimately may” in
New York or elsewhere during the
present crisis.
Secretary McAdoo said:
“We are keeping in close touch with
the situation. The treasury depart
ment will help as far as it legitimately
may in New York or in any part of
the country where it becomes appar
ent that assistance Is needed.
Still in Force.
“The Aldrich-Vreeland act, as
amended by the federal reserve act Is
still in force and the terms upon which
currency may be issued under that act
are now so favorable that resort may
be made quickly and effectively to it
to meet any emergency. It must be
remembered that there is in the treas
ury, printed and ready for issue $500,-
000,000 of currency which the banks can
get upqsi applicaion undr ha law. This
is in addition to the resources of the
treasury.
“In view of the closing of the for
eign stock exchanges, the action of
the New York Stock Exchange, of
which I have Just learned, in closing
temporarily, is a reasonably measure
of protection to American interests.”
Tha President.
President Wilson also turned ht 3
attention to the financial situation.
Before breakfast he conferred with
Secretary McAdoo. It was announced
at the Whtie House that every effort
would he made for organizing the fed
eral reserve board and putting the new
reserve system in operation.
Relief measures contemplated, if
necessary, included depositing funds
in Chicago, New Y'ork, Philadelphia
ami other citels.
Mr. Wilson let it be known that he
approved the closing of the New oYrk
Stock Exchange as a precautionary
measure. Senator Kern, majority
leader of the senate and Representa
tive Underwood, majority leader of the
house, conferred wtih the president.
Secretary Tumulty, was sumoned back
from New Jersey by the president, who
planned to give up his week-end re
creation and remain at the White
House in constant touch with the sit
uation in this country.
Today or Tomorrow.
The president expected to send to
the senate today or tomorrow the nom
ination of a member of the federal re
serve board in place of Thomas D.
Jones, and efforts were begun to find
out definitely Just what Paul M. War
burg of New York, expects to do with
regard to his nomination.
The president believys that is abso
lutely necessary for the new system to
put in operation at once and legal ex
perts of the treasury have informed
Secretary McAdoo that it would he im
possible to organise it until all mem
bers of the hoard have been confirmed.

ton, “which speaks magnificently so!
th<* sanitation and drainage, and I
understand from tlie officers that they
and the men are all well pleased
with Camp Wheeler. I have had a
most enjoyable trip to Augusta, and
I wish to say just here that I enjoy
all of my trips to this city, and re
gret that I must leave at 12:30 for
Atlanta.
Firgt Infantry First to Leave.
The movement of troops from Au
gusta to their home stations was be
gun this morning when two special
trains of 12 cars each carried away
the companies of the First Infantry.
The first special carried tile five Sa
vannah companies, the second carried
the Waynesboro, Fitzgerald, Bruns
wick and Quitman companies and the
First Regiment band. There was no
hitch in the scheduled plans, due to
the forethought with which those
plans had been formulated and tha
care used in seeing that they were
properly carried out.
The Milledgeville and Monroe com
panies leave on the regular 3:20 Geor
gia train, special cars being attached
for their use- All other organizations
ot the National Guard of Georgia will
get away on specials scheduled to
leave between 9 and 10 tonight. To
morrow morning will find Camp
Wheeler deserted, save for the com
pany of regulars, who will be the sole
occupents of the site till the North
Carolina guardsmen arrive Tuesday
morning.
Yesterday the “Big Day.”
Ask any militiaman which was the
“big day” of the encampment and,
without pausing for thought, ae will
immediately make reply: “Thursday.’’
Have you guessed the reason already?
Sure. It was pay day. Uncle Sam
had sent down some $25,000 lor the
purpose of remunerating the boys for
their arduous labors in his behalf.
Inasmuch sb a large majority of the
boys had contributed' to the various
places of amusement in the city a
goodly part o (their coin, the visit of
the "ghost” was most deeply appre
ciated.
The “pay line” Tormed at'l2:4s, the
last man clearing his account nearly
three hours afterward. ’Tis no easy
job to pay off 2,500 men, especially
when Uncle Sams money is being
used —the old gentleman has ail sorts
of "red tare" attached to any paying
out of money that he may do. Major
Girard, paymaster in the regular army
was on hand, and with the ass:stance
of Major Daniell, disbursing officer
(of* the Natotnal Guard of Georgia, the
matter was attended to with all pos
sible dispatch. It is understood that
the total amount paid out fell slightly
short of $25,000.
The men spent the remainder of
the afternoon getting their affairs in
readiness for departure. The men of
tne First Infantry, scheduled to leave
early today, completed their prepara*
I tions. including the packing of bag
gage. and had it transported to wait
ing cars. night, they enjoyed
the experience of sleeping in the reg
|tilatoln shelter tents, more popularly
■ known as "dog" tents.
Last General Order,
i What will probably be the last or
| der from headquarters was Issued
I yesterday morning, being designated
