first was "at home"
The rain continued the next morning,
but our tents were carpeted with more
dry hay, stoves were put up and every
ones temper was much improved. In
The afternoon, the rain having ceased,
the regiment participated in two
hour drill.
The Maneuvers Begin.
The following day the maneuvers be-
gan in earnest. The weather was de-
.lghtful and the troops worked day and
night, uncomplainingly and with en-
thusiasm All the problems of war
were rehearsed, rear and advance
guard, attack and defense of convoy,
outpost duty, operations against cav
airy and artillery, night attacks, etc.
Bivouacing on some of those frosty
nights with only one blanket was no
joke.
In one days operations the Twenty
first covered over twenty-eight miles.
None but the best trained troops could
accomplish this, carrying the immense
load required by United States infan-
try. Anything one carries becomes a
burden after the first five miles, and
our infantry men are loaded down like
pack mules, each mans equipment
consisting of rifle, belt full of ammuni
ton, shelter half, poles and pins, blan-
ket, rubber poncho, haversack and ra-
tions, and canteen.

c 1uenthst Infantry Waiting Come and Getlt

There is probably no place in the
United States better adapted to the
purpose of playing the war game than
that used in the vincinity of Fort Riley.
1t would be difficult to find more d1-
versified terrain in one locality. Hills,
valleys, rivers, ravines and level plains
gave every branch of the service an
opportunity to show their effectiveness
under the most favorable conditions.
Some of the stony hills must have re-
minded Gen. Ian Hamilton, the repre-
sentative of the British army, of the
kopjes of the Transvaal
The foreign military attaches were
shown every courtesy and afforded
every possible facility for observing
the operations, but it seemed that Maj,
Gen. Hamilton was shown especial con-
sideration. Perhaps for the reason
that he was the only officer present OF
the same rank as our division COM
mander.
Gen. Bates Very Popular.
The latter, Maj Gen. John C. Bates
Is without doubt the most able and
popular of our general officers. Off
GERS and soldiers of the "old school,
revere him, and the splendid success OF
the Fort Riley maneuvers and the per-
feet discipline of the troops at Camp
Sanger must have been gratifying to
this great soldier, now in the twilight

GERS, and, all drawing the pay of their
grade, the pay roll swells to a big
amount annually nearly $4,000
The lieutenant general draws $11 1000;
the seven major generals, $52,5OO; the
twenty-five brigadier generals, $137,-
500; the 104 colonies, $429,OOO; the 376

the officers, except general, above the
rank of captain, aside from a few on
staff positions, are drawing 40 per
