NEW YORK ANSWERS CALL.
15,000 Men Assemble at Armories Throughout State. NEW YORK, June 19.—Fifteen thousand or more troops of the New York national guard began today to assemble in their armories throughout the state in response to the president's call. As rapidly as the commands can be brought together and equipped they will proceed to the state mobilization camp at Beekman, N. Y., fifteen miles southeast of Poughkeepsie, to be mustered in the United States service. Their mobilization is expeoted to be complete within three days.
By command of the governor Ad-jutant-General Louis W. Stotesbury Issued early today an order directing Major-Gen. John F. O'Ryan, commanding the New York state division, to 'cause the organization of his command, less coast artillery troops, to assemble forthwith at their respective home stations preparatory to their muster into the service of the United States."
The movement of troops toward Beekman is expected to be in progress before night. The call sent by Secretary of War Baker to Gov. Whitman was for nine regiments of infantry one regiment, one squadron and one machine gun troop of cavalry: two regiments of field artillery two battalions of engineers one battalion of signal corps three field hospital companies and four ambulance companies.
It is said the 1500,000 appropriated for the state maneuvers this summer will be used to defray the expenses of mobilizing. Major Gen. O'Ryan expects that the New York troops will be kept together as a division of the federal army when mustered in. It will not be necessary, he said, to apply to them the new military act passed by congress requiring a dual oath, one oath to serve the nation and the other to defend the state, as the New York men already have taken such oaths.
The Sixty-ninth regiment of this city will be the first of the state staff orranization to be dispatched to the border, Adjutant-General Stotesbury announced. The regiment is expected '.o move to Beekman within 24 hours.

practical use immediately of these organzations. Officers here who witnessed the work of getting the guardsmen of Texas, New Mexico ahd Arizona into shape, expressed the hope that none of the state troops would be sent south until they had been drilled for a time and made partially fit for field service.
General Funston and his staff were chiefly concerned today in a study of how best to maintain the delicate balance between the United States and Mexico until militia organizations arrive. Officers at department headquarters do not believe any of the state troops will get to border states before ten days and that even then only a small percentage of the total expected would be available for service.
Reports from the border today told of no new raids. Anti-American demonstrations took place yesterday In Mexican towns, and the feeling generally throughout the frontier was that Carranza's troops or civilian organizatons in Mexico might precipitate a clash, but extreme caution was taken by American officers not to give cause for any aggression.
If another raid does occur, or if General Trevino* permits any of his troops to attack General Pershing's lines, swift action will be taken by the Americans, but if there is anythng the Americans can do to avert trouble it will be done, it was declared.
Western State Ready.

WILL SEIZE RAILROADS.
Pershing Ready for Action at First Sign of Hostilities. COLUMBUS, N. M., June 19.—Notwithstanding the threat of General Trevino, the Mexican commander, to attack him if he moves in any direction except toward the border, General Pershing, commander of the American expeditionary force in Mexico, is said to be quietly laying plans for quick dashes north and south at the first sign of hostility. His plans, it is believed by observers, are to gain possession of the, Mexico railroads, which practically command the territory adjacent to his lines of communication.
General Pershing's men slept on their arms last night. The American commander is in receipt daily of information regarding de facto Mexican government troop movements. Natives, treated kindly by the Americans, have voluntarily supplied valuable information.
WAR SCARE AFFECTS MARKET.
CHICAGO, June 19.—War excitement showed itself promptly today on "change. The effect of the call of the militia to the Mexican border was chiefly noticeable in higher prices on wheat. A rise of lxk cents a bushel was shown in some cases, the September option selling at $1.04^4, as against $1.02% in Saturday's latest transaction.
Contrary to the expectation of some traders, provisions took a downward course. Whatever influence the Mexican situation may have had appeared to be more than offset by a decline in the value of hogs. T~
