More than 38000 of the 128000 National Guardsmen in the Department of the East are in mobilization camps six days after the call. Massachusetts contributes 8000 and New Jersey 5000.

He traveled over 80 miles to rejoin the American line, with two men, amid thirst and wounds, while details of the fight remain scant. General Pershing and General Funston received his letter and reports describe ambush fears and disputed actions by Mexican forces.
The President thanked employers nationwide for allowing workers to serve with the National Guard without pay loss. He cited a New York company whose pledge prompted his praise for the patriotic response of American business leaders.
