side Of the river, not very wide at this
point, and / had to look very closely TO
discover that these white spots were the
gloves on the hands of the cadets of the
battalion, about 800 strong, march

uniforms SO blended in the rocks and
trees back of them that neither my two
companions, officers of the post, nor

white flash of glove and cross-belt.
Frederic villiers, the English war cor
respondent, once told me of an incident
that occurred to him in Afghanistan,
where, riding with small escort across
country, they were suddenly startled by
the appearance among the rocks Of
some red objects, seemingly quite a dis

that the sunburnt faces OF the men were
the most conspicuous objects about
them. Many soldier who has served
in the western country will remember
how difficult it has been at times to To-
