Mr.. Wurdeman expresses himself verv
freely against the petty despotism to
which the Germans are subjected with
out in many cases their being aware OF
it. There is all the difference in the
world between here and there officials
here being the servants OF the people in
stead of their masters. The treatment
given there by officials in general would
not be brooked here at all. When mat
ters of possible war between Germany
and America came up for discussion.
Mr.. Wurdemann found that there was
very little accurate information there in
regard to what the United States could
do. Henry told them that no doubt the
German soldiers were well-drilled and
made q fine appearance, but that the
young Americans learned to shoot from
boyhood up and were no doubt much
better marksmsn than those Of the
German army. And as for their think
ing that 0ermau-born citixens OF this
country would not fight in such q var
on the side OF their adopted country,
they were very much mistaken. The
United States is their country; they
have generally prospered there a. they
could not have done in the old country,
and there 10 no reason Why they should,
in . just cause, desert the country OF
their choice, and they would not do 90.
Mr.. Wurdemsnn says that after the loss
by lightning be was homesick and they
started August 3rd on their return,
The sss vas not ugly either over OF
back, and the voyage vas pleasant every

interesting as showing to JOURNAL read
ers how the muster-out is done:
The Nebraska regiment looks more
like recruits now than at any other time
since it has been in the service, for it no
longer has any guns or accoutrements OF
any kind. Today noon all the govern
ment property in the regiment, consist
ing OF Springfield rifles, cartridge bslts.
scabbards, bayonets, haversacks. can
teens, straps for guns, and canteens to-
gether with mess plates. cups, knives,
forks and spoons were handed in to the
chief ordnance officer at the Benitia
arsenal Of this place. The tents, kitchen
utensils, al! the ammunition but few
rounds to each man we're turned in be-
for leaving Manila. Nearly all Of this
stuff is condemned and will be destroyed.
No matter in what bad shape any Of
this material is in, it can be turned over
by the soldier to whom it was issued
and he receives credit for it. But il he
has lost any OF this material any place
excepting in the line Of duty, it is
charged up to him. Some Of the prop
erty was lost en- route or at some other
place, SO it was amusing to see some Of
these soldiers who had lost any &C.
coutremsnts rustling around trying to
find where they could find some extra
accOutrements to hand in. Most of the
boys were not sorry to say good bye to
their lOngtOms which had kicked their
shoulders black and blue in many a
fight, or to their haversacks, in which
they had carried their days rations of
hardtack and salmon, nor even to their
canteens which contained what little
filthy water the soldier could find while
on the march. But q few soldiers were
SO attached to their rifles, haversacks
and canteens that they purchased them
of the government. The Springfield
will prove interesting relics q few years
hence, while the haversacks and can
teens can be used to advantage while
out hunting in the timbers and prsiries
of Nebraska.
THE PHYSICAL ExANINATIONs.
The army doctors are practically
through examining the enlisted men Of
the Nebraska regiment. The officers
will be examined some time later. The
only Nebraska men not yet examined
are those who were not present when
their companies were taken over to the
quarters to be examined. Several days
ago the men stated on regular blanks
whether or not they had sustained any
disabilities while in the army, and il SO
the nature of the disability, when, where
and how it was contracted. Some of the
men thinking they had no disabilities
were found to have something or other
ailing them, OF which they had no knowl-
edge. But most of the men passed
very good examination. Several days
have been required to examine the whole
regiment. But a short time was re-
quired for most men, for from the blanks
which the soldier signed the doctor
could tell what disability il any the SOL
der was likely to have.
The sentries about the Nebraska camp
can now be seen walking their beats
with n cane since the Springfelds have
been handed in. The boys are anxious
ly waiting for the time when they can
bid goodbye to guard duty OF any kind.

MIR. and Mrs. John H. Wurdemann
with their grandson, J. H. w., arrived
home Monday morning from their trip
to Germany, going from here on Deco
ration Day. They have had good health
all the while except that Mrs. w. and
the grandson were subjected to the
nausea Of seasickness, the lad especially
having severe tussel with it. The So
journ was without unusual incident, ex-
cept that on Sunday July q, at the
place of Mrs. Wurdemann's sister (Mrs.
Seeger), when the folks were at church
ut the village Of Grossenkneten, Mrs.
Seeger's house was struck by lightning
and burned to the ground, with all it's
contents, among which we're all the
clothing and valuables of Mr.. Wurde-
mans party of three and visiting cousin,
except what they had on their persons.
As this included their return tickets,
they had some trouble in making their
proofs, etc, but succeeded in convinc-
ing the authorities as to the tickets.
Mr.. Wurdemann visited Germany eleven
years ago, and does not find much
change now, but looking back to thirty
nine years ago, when he lived there,
he sees considerable difference. He
worked then as a farm hand for
$40 a year, where now the wages are
$50 to 500 a year. Land is higher in
price than then. They have good crops
this year. following a very open winter
in which potatoes lay in the ground
without freezing. Rye is their principal
crop, as ours is corn. They try at times
to raise corn, but it is too cold, and
only the merest nubbins grow. The
garden stun is good, but just a. they
were leaving, the dry weather was severe
upon vegetation. The import duty on

latter exemplify the true motherly in
stinct in their occupation as teachers Of
