awe have not done any fighting in the last
two mont bs-that is, our regiment We are
guarding the city 1t is nothing to go in and
stop liot and see Chinaman or Filipino
bu.ehered up. You wouldn't believe il, but a
dead man doesn't affect us any more than to
see a dead dog.
81 have come to the conclusion that a man
can get used to anything these days. Now,
for instance, think man can get used to
bullets. They never bother you unless you
try to stop them, and if you do stop them you
will not think much of them as friends. We
haven't much time to write long letters, but
manage to get one to the States once 10 awhile
We expect to be ordered out to some other
place at any time"
Another letter from young DUNCAN, re-
| ceived by his brother John, in Bel Air,

| tional information as TO the duties Of the SOL
ders as policemen. They are continuously
under arms and are always prepared for

81 don't know how long this war is going to
keep up. Our latest report is that Aguinaldo
is killed. We have had but little trouble dur
ing the past few weeks. Don't worry about
| me, am o. X, and expect to see you soon
