Indians in Town.

Saturday afternoon, attached to the
Southern Pacific train that arrives here
from the east at 4:05 and leaves for the
west a 4:35, there was tourist sleeping
car filled with Indian soldiers: They
came from Mt. Vernon, Alabama, bar
racks and were on their way TO Fort
Huachuca, Arizona. There are twenty
eight of them, all dressed in brown duck
ing, little straw hats with entrenching
knives at their sides. A year ago last
May these same men, with number OF
others, passed through here on their way
to Mt. Vernon. They are Apaches and
enlisted at San Carlos with the under
standing that after year, il they so de-
sired, they were to be transferred to
reg iment stationed in Arizona. They
were assigned TO company |, 18th infan-
try. and have been transferred to COM
set of men and under the command of
Lieutenant w. w. Weatherspoon, who is
assisted by Sergeant Z. j. Buckly.
In talk with Lieutenant Weather
spoon and Sergeant Buckly the reporter
learned the following facts. These men
are of Geronimo'S tribe. but did not be-
long to his gang. They are an orderly set,
obey orders readily and are hard workers;
They are finely drilled both In the old and
new regulations. Their arms and equip
mentS are in good condition and their har.
racks are as clean and neat as pin. Two
or three months ago, Lieutenant Wealth
erSpoon, who is in command of Company
l, marched them to Mobile Ala, where
they spent week in camp. There are
altogether about four hundred Of them,
men, SQuawS and children, and they have
Quilt them a village there of about 100
houses. Old Geronimo is in this crowd
and a number of his men also, some of
which have enlisted in the army. Gero-
nimo, Lieutenant Weatherspoon says, is
as peacabe al old man as you will find in
a weeks travel and is justice of the peace
of the village. Their barracks, which
they built themselves, are l64 feet long
purposes, Ga feet long. They arrived at
their destination at noon today and in
two or three days the officers will return,
stopping here for few days.

ARMY ENLISTMENT.
The Length OF Time a Soldier En-
lists For ana How He Can Get
Out If Dissatisfied.

Oftimes is the queStiOnaSked "fOr how
many years does a soldier enlist" The
answer is Five years" 1t seems that
this conveys the idea TO the general run
of civilians that when man enlistS, he is
bound to the army for five long years
with no way Of getting out except by
deSertion. In years gone by such was
the case and then assertions We're very
common occurrences, though the penalty,
II caught, was death. OF late years, how
ever, congress has looked into the
affairs of our army a considerable more
than before, and this was one of the
greatest evils they could find. To remedy
this great evil an order was issued which
is known as section 81. in the Articles of
War" 1t is better known and more COM
monty called the "three-year racket" by
the enlisted men. This order provides
that man enlstS in the army for a
term of years. At the end of one
year he can purchase his discharge,
if he is so inclined, for the sum Of
Sl20. After the first year he can pur-
chase it s. cheaper each month until the
end of three years when he is allowed a
three months Through, at the end OF
which he receives his discharge, prOvid-
ing he makes timely application therefor
and that his antecedent service has been
good: this is left to the discretion of his
company commander. The three months
furlough is given him that he may go out
in civil life and see If he can make better
living than in the army. II he can. he
can remain out or return TO his company
and serve out the rest of his five years
enlistment. If after three years he de-
cides to remain the rest of the five years
the soldier can no longer purchase his
discharge for any sum.
There is one thing in the law which
provides that soldier can purchase his
discharge, which many men, wishing to
get discharged, take advantage of. That
is If a soldiers record has been shady and
he knows that his company COM
| mander will not let him go out
on the three years racket" he can
| wait until one month before the three
years are up, pay s. and walk out a dis
charged soldier. This is one thing which
| is universally liked among the enlisted
men and they can go out that way no
| matter who try to retain them, nor what
| their previous service has been.
Several old soldiers were spoken to in
| regard to the three years racket, and all
expressed themsel as thinking IL one of
| the best things ever done in the army.
They say that IL has a great deal to do in
preventing assertions. Most men would
| rather remain in the army one year and
| pay 1920. or two years and pay $50 to get
out than to desert from the army and
have the fear of detection on them at all
| times, especially when detection means
| from one to five years penal SerVitude.
