Supplementing this. Colonel
Billiard may congratulate himself
ON having a field and staff infer
iGr to none in the Philippines or
elsewhere. Its personnel speaks
for itself:
Lieutenant-Colonel Enoch H.
Crowder, Judge Advocate, Divis-
ion of the Philippines, Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court and
Secretary TO the Military Cover
nor; Major Harry B. Milford,
Commanding the First Battalion;
Major George f. Langhorne,
Commanding the Second Battal-
ion; Major John H. Parker, Com
manding the Third Battalion;
Major Surgeon, Seaton Norman;
Captain and Assistant Surgeon,
Edward G. Beeson; Captain and
Adjutant. Noel Gaines; Captain
and Quartermaster, Thomas H.
Hsrdeman; First Lieutenant and
Commissary, Fred Boyer; First
Lieutenant and Battalion Adju-
tant, Albert j. Meeklin; First
Lieutenant and Battalion Adju-
tant, Howard X. Bane; and First
Lieutenant and Battalion Adiu-
tant, Alexander B. Coke.
The regimental band comes as
one of the most attractive attach

among the best in the Philippines.
l take it that these words, with
out its personnel, are sufficient
praise, and / pass to the truly
marvellous work of the regiment.

boat, and just as the first streak
of light shot across the eastern
sky, these companies tell upon
the enemy's flank and scattered

whole line smashed through the
