Rains's arrest was due to the efforts
OF THE SrN, World and Tribune, which

money from kindly disposed men
throughout the city who thought they

brought into camp about fifty pounds
OF rock specimens that glistened In a
most alluring way. He was not the
least bit discouraged when his camp
patch of FOOLS gold.
Just wait until the horses come.
Then we'll show 'em somethin'."
This is the cry these days in the Sig
nal Corps camp. where the lack of
horses is greatly retarding the train
ing of the men. At present Capt. Ter
rv only has enough horses to mount
one section of his command at a time,
and they are all condemned horses that
soon are to be sold. Until the full al
lotment of horses is received the Sig
nal Corps men will be almost as help
less as a field hospital outfit without
medicines.
While the District militiamen were
en- route to this place from Washing
railroad stations where the train
stopped to take on water and to
change engines. Most of them were
girls. and the militiamen never over
looked an opportunity to ask their
newly made friends to write to them
They gave the girls their names and
told them how to address letters TO
the District National Guard camp at
Warren.
The other day Private McCabe of the
Signal Corps received a Letter from a
girl he met on the station platform al
Mclean. Tex. He showed it to his
camp mates and they all agreed that
it is some letter Here's the way it
reads:
My dearest friend and. I will
now try to write you a few words to
let you know that the Mexicans has
not got me yet. and I don't think they
a ~ n of do
dearie. how are you stand this

it sure is worm up here. I guess you
remember tho card you gave me, don't

it and sad that T void remember you.
Yes I still remember the one that
done that and all ways will. Dear. for
you are the idle of my hart and don't
thing I can stand it il ] can't see you
vance and n while. Dear for / love you
and l can't help it when you tore the
corner of the card I sad then l love
you, and I cud not help it. But dearie

is the resent I am writing like l am.
Dear I will close, hoping to get and
answer from my lover write way:
l will rename as ever your true and
loving little girl"
Then follows the signature of the
young miss and "P. s." which states:
send me your photo and I will send
you mind"
signal Corps men say that McCabe
was seen in a photograph gallery In
Bisbee the day following the receipt
of the letter.
The glee club of the Field Hospital

Tell the colonel to come over right

This conversation took place the
other day over the buzZer line which
has been run from the headquarters
OF the 22d Infantry TO the office tent

it was one of the first messages that
came over 1t. Col. Webster had heard
that there was ID. d. s. in the
SPINAL Corps outfit and when his
tooth started to raise racket" he
lost no time in getting into communi-
cation with him. few minutes after
the telephone engagement had been
made Col. Webster arrived at the Sig

was ready TO receive him. The officer

at the Y. NJ. c. ~ at Bisbee the other
day with several other field hospital
men, when ]. Arendes was taken with
cramp. He was in the deep end OF
the pool where the water was several
feet over his depth. He called for help.
but his comrades were making such
racket at the other end that they did
not hear him. Arendes was struggling
in the water and was in serious pre-
dicament when AmoroSo happened to
look his way. He realized that Arendes
was in trouble and promptly made
dive for him.
Amoroso brought his comrade to the
edge of the pool and called to the other
men to help lift him out of the water.
Although Arendes had taken aboard
considerable quantity of water. 1t
was not necessary to resort to resus-
citation methods to bring him around
all right.
Officials of the Y NJ C. A. heard of
the affair and they rewarded Amoroso
by presenting him a full membership
card in the association for a period of
six months. 1t is understood that the
association also is contemplating pre-
senting him with a fe-saving medal.
Amoroso stands ACE high" with the
field hospital men at the present time.
Master Signal Electrician Lansford
has his hands full these days. He is en-
deavoring TO balance up the books of
the Signal Corps exchange, and it is a
hard task. He spends all of his spare
time over his day and ledger books
adding up long columns of figures. For
tunately for Lansford. this work is not

DISTRICT NATIONAL GUARD CAMP,
WARREN. Ariz.. July 2s.-Compahy
A. Signal Corps, o. NJ. D. c.. has laid the
foundation for a reserve under the pro-
S!sions of the army reorganization Dill
which went into effect July I. Two OF
its men whose enlistments have expired
have re-enlisted under the new enlist
inert law, which provides for three
years IN service and three years with
the reserve They are Sergt. Edward L.
Colley and Private Thomas l.. Corbin
After these men have had three years
in service their names will be trans
ferred TO a reserve list for like period,
during which they will have to attend
the annual encampment of the organi-
zation and devote a specified number
of DAYS each year on the rife range
Both men could have returned home
when their enlistment expired. but they
elected to stay with the guard and re-
;newed their allegiance to the stars and
stripes without hesitation.
Each to Get About SIS.
As the result of their re-enlistment
here at Warren both men will receive
about SIS, this being the amount al
lotted for transportation back to Wash
ington. the place of their previous en-
listment. They are allowed money for
transportation at the rate of Si2 cents
per mile.
Considerable difficulty was expert
enced in arranging for the re-enlist-
ment of the men. The commanding Of
fcer of the 22d Infantry, who has SUI
pervision of all the military camps in
this district. was at loss to know Just
how to proceed in the matter. the pro-
visions of the new bill being new to
every one concerned. Various orders
were studied, but little light was
thrown on the situation.
Finally Capt Dodge. inspector and
instructor at the Signal Corps camp.
struck upon a plan of action considered
best under the circumstances, and it
was decided to follow this and later
correct any mistakes that might have
been made. On the suggestion of Capt.
