olive drab.
The hospital corps wear the olive
drap with a small red cross on the
left sleeve, above the elbow.
The recruit is then assigned to one
of the seven recruit companies and
then his army life begins. First of
all he has read to him the articles of
war and regulations. If he follows
the rules he is all right but woe be
unto him if he sets himself up against
them for he will be in the guard
house for about six months for vioIat-
ing some one of the articles of war.
On the second day he is given a
gun and taught how to use it and
how to drill. 1t is a very amusing
sight to come out to the barracks
some morning and see some of the re-

The worst thing that you can do
while you are a soldier is to show dis
respect for the American flag. l will
give you an example of what one man
got for not saluting the flag at re-
treat one evening. He is now in the
guard house serving a sentence of
six months and a fine of 500 was i'm
posed upon him.
No matter what part of the grounds
you are in when the eannons fire and
the band plays The Star SpangIed
Banner" you have 70 face the flag
and stand at attention and salute the
flag as it goes down the flag pole.
They are very strict about this
Some men make up their minds to
treat the government fair and square

while others do everything in their
power to be as lowdown and mean as
they can but when the government
finds itself imposed upon, you can be
sure it will not be imposed upon long
while if you treat it fairly you viii
find that it will treat you fairly and
you will get along all right.
The government offers amusement
both in winter and summer. They
have a&ne dance hall here at the
barracks 1t is situated over the
large mess hall and accommodates
about seventy-five couples Music is
furnished by our fine barracks orches-

I San Francisco, Sept a. Six
Indictments were returned today by
the federal grand jury against the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company and

pany In these indictments the names
Of Edward Fl. Hartman, John G.
Stubbs and II. p. Scherwin, 1t is un-

This action on the part Of the grand
jury; by which the Interstate Com

very prominent steamship and rail
road men into the federal courts on
criminal charges for having violated
the new rate law, is being surrounded
with much secrecy.
1t was done so quickly and SO Sc
cretly as to astonish the railroad ald

Interstate Commerce Commission has
Systematically worked up the evidence
in this matter, but whether 1t can be
considered as being related to the re-
cent efforts of President Roosevelt
and the commission to have civil CT
criminal proceedings, or both, brought
against Hartman and the so-called
Hartman railroad combination, is not
known.
The indictments embraces 40
counts and relate particularly to vic
lations OF the law on shipments from
the Orient through the port of San
Francisco to Chicago. The particular
instances in which the law is said to
have been violated relate to strip
ments of matter from Kobe to Chi
cago. these shipments being very
heavy and numerous during several
