for itself. # the New Ulm people could
now see the company out on drill their
eyes would sparkle with pride. They
now march and handle their rifles like
veterans.
The good people of New Ulm need
not worry about the men not getting
enough to eat. They are now receiving
full government rations and that is am
pie for any man if economically and
properly prepared. can say from
personal observation that Company A is
living as we'll as any company on the
grounds.
1t is true that when we first arrived in
camp the commissary department. was
not prepared to furnish fresh meats and
soft bread, but no just complaints can
now be made.
1t is no small matter to feed an armv
of $4,000 men and it takes time to get
all the machinery III working order.
By the way, why would it not be a
nice thing for delegation of New Ulm
people to accompany the regimental
flag dowr here and present it to the reg
iment. We could make it the occasion
for beautiful ceremony and the addi-
tional expense would not be great.
It seems that am destined to be away
from my regiment. I have not been Of
ticially connected with it since nv arriv-
al at camp. Three times have been IN
command of a division an, - many
times at the head of bri, ,s.ue. But
there IS no particular honor connected
with these temporary commands, and l
would much rather be with my regiment.
Someone, however, has to assume the
temporary distinction until the briga-
diers get around and take hold.
The Twelfth is encamped right across
the road from my headquarters, and as
eat and sleep IN the camp of the Twelfth,
[ am able to keep in pretty close touch
with them. This at least is some salts
faction. -

dumping ground.
