He was here with the Nokomis in July,

Life on the Transport.

How do Army people travel on lie
transports? The officers and their fam
lilies, and civilians, travel in the cabins,
where they have all the conveniences
and luxuries of a frst-class liner. The
enlisted men travel about halfway be-
tween second-class and steerage. The
soldier, being a unit in~the large num-
Der of men making up a regiment, is
compelled by the exigencies of the SER
vice to bunk, eat and exist as best he
can, limited by the regulations of the
War Departments transport service. On
the Buford, as in most of the transports
now en- route for the Philippines there
are few officers, but large numbers of
the members of their families, school
teachers and civilians VINO are going
to the Philippines in various capacities.
These pay but 81 a day as mess eX-
penses and nothing for passage, that
being furnished by order of the depart
ment upon the recommendation of Gen
eral or Colonel or Captain So-and-So.
People are always willing to pay
$50, more or less, for a run to the Phil
ippines as they would pay three or four
times that amount on a regular passen-
ger vessel. Hence they are always try
ing to exert a pull to secure state
rooms. Considering the frequency with
which the Government moves the Off
Ger about, it seems but right he should
be allowed to take his family with him
without spending most of his earnings
in steamer fare.
The table fare is respectable and the
service of the stewards and walters ex-
cellent. The Government loses a little
in supplying the cabin tables, but more
than makes up for it in the other
messes, to say nothing in the saving in
transportation of men and goods. II
costs about $3.50 per day to supply each
cabin passenger. The ships officers
mess together at an expense of 65 cents
each.
The petty officers appear to have
enough to eat when they receive 2
cents worth. The sailors and firemer
have about the same, but the soldier
| is supposed to fare luxuriously on 1!
cents. For that he gets hard tack an6
