DEME'S CAR SHORT AGE.
Mayor Mltchel, replying yesterday to
a suggestion from Krlti Pohl of 406
West street that u regiment composed
exclusively of cltlxena of Oerman birth
be formed, euld he thought such a
scheme would tend to draw tho very
racial lUies which udvocates of Ameri
canism are seeking to obliterate. Ills
letter follows:
"1 have received your letter of June 21
suggesting the orgatiliatlon of a regiment
to be composed of American cltlieen of
Clernmu birth exclusively. While I com
mwid your Interest, I am of the opinion
that It would be hurtful to draw racial
lines In American military affairs, t think
nhat we otmht to do Is to emphaslie
to be composed of American citizens of
of th nationalities Into un army which
Is simply American.
"I would, therefore, deprecate the for
mation of n regiment composed wholly
of men of any one nationality, whether
they be Herman, Trench, Italian or Rus
sian, as this mljht tend to draw the
very racial lines which I believe should
be avoided. I ruggest that you urge
our men to loin the regular organiza
tion of the Nutlonal Guard or such
other ormnlzatlons as may be recruited
by the l'ederal authorities'."
County Clerk William V. Schneider
notltleil Major-Oen. O'Byan esterday of
steps taken Mi the naturalization bureau
of New York county for facilitating the
enlistment of aliens who are s-.il.l to

as announced In a letter from Deputy
County Clerk Seidell to Major-C.en.
O'Hjaii Is as follows:
" Miens seeking enlistment In the Na
tional (luard who ure desirous of obtain
ing their first papers or declarations of
Intention will be given prccedejica In
the following manner In the bureau of
naturalization attached to this ofllcc.
If. when he appears before the regi
mental officers, he Is given u card or
note to this otllce mid presents same lieie
bis case will be Immediately taken up.
To facilitate this a sveclal clerk bus beewi
aligned to take charge of these cases,
and If this means of IdemUflcatlon meets
wllli jour approva' and nu communi
cate this to the enlisting ofllcers through
the proper channels, the time occupied
in obtaining these papers will be very
short."
The naturalization bureau Is In room
701 in the HaU of Heeords.
Hcanlon and David Broderlck, will go
before tho Harlem Board of Commerce
to seek Its cooperation In the organiza
tion of the regiment.
The first drill will take place next
Friday evening In tho open at Jasper
Oval. A parade will take place through
the principal streets of Harlem on the
evening of July 9 to drum up enthusiasm
and hasten the recruiting of the regi
ment. v
The Chamber of Commerce of Albany

1 it be given to the New Jersey organization
The artillerymen and cavwlrymen en
camped nt Van Cortlandt Park are still
there, despite expectations that before
noon yesterday they would be on their
way toward the Mexican border. They
managed to forget their Impatience, how
ever, by drilling nnd shooting and brand
ing horses, and by evening the men of
the Flret Field Artillery had received
word that Batteries D, E and V were
to entrain to-day at noon.
What convinced them that this time
It waa no false alarm was the fact that
all afternoon live medical officers of the
regular army gave a physical examina
tion to the militiamen, who had all been
mustered In. The officers prodded and
tapped them In a tent north of the polo
field, while the barefooted men who
waited their turn outside stood on their
heads or turned flip flops In sheer Joy
at the prospect of departure.
On many it face that came out of the
tent disappointment was written large,
for they had been rejected, much against
their will. But the captains of tliulr
batteries weren't troubled, fur nil tho
organizations were recruited beyond war
strength and they could afford to dis
pense with some men. By nightfall all
of the 400 men in the three untterlwi
knew whether they were physically lit
to nght for Uncle Sam.
The men of tho Second Field Artillery
watched these evidences of preparation
rather glumly, for they were less cer
tain than on the day before, about their
own going away and their commander,
Col. George A. Wlngate, wasnt saying
anything. In fact several of his can
noneers became downright pessimistic
and didn't believe "they were ever going
away. They alleged that all the un
sound or untrustworthy horees and
mule had been put under their care,
while the best animals were taken to
make up the SOO odd required by tho
three batteries of the First Artillery.
Twenty of the horses were in such had
condition from glanders that they bad
to be shot bv a representative of th
Health Department. The Inspection of
the animals will continue to-day, and
It Is expected that more will be done
nway with. This together with the le
Jectlon of a large proportion on their
arrival at the camp has left the number
of draught animals still blow th re
quired quota lor all the organizations
Though rumors ot striking camp were
afloat In plenty among the troopers of
the First Cavalry, no one could say
di finitely when they would set out. Hut
two troops kept themselves In trim mean
while by skirmish practice, charging ut
a hill In a blazing Mtn, while two other
1 1 oops trotted and wheeled for an hour
b fore the admiring gaze of thoiifands of
sjectators making holiday at the park.
The visitors were even more Inler
eMed perhaps In the breaking of high
strung horses which took place at the
eHftern end of the First Artillery's sec-

A Modern Bank ForModern Needs
Banking services corresponding to the highly
organized mechanism of business these days
are indispensable.
Many n merchant will install all manner of
devices, mechanical and otherwise, for greater
efficiency in one direction or another, but his
banking, in many instances the single impor
tant factor in his profits, he is content to trans
act in the style of a day gone by.
There are chr.nges in banking as well as in
business, for business itself has changed, and
while the principles of sound banking must
always remain the same, the practice with
modern banks differs to-day from that of a
generation ago. A bank to-day, for the needs
of a progressive customer, must be aqecssibly
located; the services should respond to the needs
of the community rather than compel the com
munity to adjust itself to the bank; it must be
of moral as well as of financial strength.
The Harriman National Bank goes beyond
this, in adjusting its hours of business to mer
cantile and personal needs. It is open from 8:0(1
A. M. to 8:00 P. M., Saturdays included, every
business day of the year. This of itself is reason
for consideration of relations with the Harriman
National Bank, and warrants confidence that
transfer of your account in whole or in part to
the Harriman National Bank will justify itself.

Federal
Inquiry or
Railroad Strike?
Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen that
would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of $100,000,000
a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by reference to an
impartial Federal tribunal.
With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads have no
differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such a public body.
Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration
The formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of the
controversy is as follows:
"Our conferences have demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion,
and that eventually the matters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinter
ested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your proposals and the proposition of the rail
ways be disposed of by one or the other of the following methods:
1. Preferably by submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal
which, bv reason of its accumulated information bearing on raiKvay conditions and its con
trol of the revenue of the railways, is in a position to consider and protect the rights and
equities of all the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue necessary to meet the
added cost of operation in case your proposals arc found by the Commission to be just and
reasonable; or, in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing
laws, act in the premises, that we jointly request Congress to take such action as may be
necessary to enable the Commission to consider and promptly dispose of the questions
involved : or
2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Ncwlands Act).
Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote
Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New York,
June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration or Federal
review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether authority shall be
given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike.
The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the public
body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons:
No other body with such an intimate
knowledge of railroad conditions has such
an unquestioned position in the public con
fidence. The rates the railroads may charge the
public for transportation arc now largely
fixed by this Government board.
Out of every dollar received by the rail
roads from the public nearly one-half is paid
directly to the employes as wages; and the
money to pay increased wages can come from
no other source than the rates paid by the
public.
The Interstate Commerce Commission,
with its control over rates, is in a position
to make a complete investigation and render
such decision as would protect the interests
ot the railroad employes, the owners of the
railroads, and the public.
A Question For the Public to Decide
The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of $100,000,000
a year to these employes, now highly paid and constituting only one-fifth of all t r
employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that shall determine t he
merits of the case after a review of all the facts.
The single issue before the country is whether this controversy ts to be settled by an iniput
Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.
