ri Paso, Texas.-The brigade stag
al its first formal review since COM
no to the border Friday in honor of
Major General Clement, commanding
tho seventh division of which this bri-
oade is a part.
The Second Regiment band gave a
concert at division headquarters and
was highly complimented.
Major General Clement expressed
conversation in a short talk in which
he ukened the North Carolina soldiers
80 the Minute Men of seventy-six, and
rraised their soldierly appearance.
Lieutenant Rufus M. Johnston was
named Judge advocate of the First
regiment and Captain Fred L. Black
Second regiment, was appointed bril-
gade Quartermaster.
The Tar Heel boys are getting down
RI business in a way that is very pleas
ing TO their officers. They have had
hard luck in butting into two or three
had sand storms but they have borne
# all with fortitude and are doing fine
work arranged and securing the addi-
+ional equipment they need and wnen
+bov have their tents up and properly
staked the dust and sand will not be
so troublesome.
The horses that are being issued to
officers and enlisted men detailed as
mounted orderlies are typical Western
cavuses. They look like the average
bunch of Western horses and ponies
that are dumped into every town in
North Carolina by occasional carloads.
General Young's two aides, Lieutenant
Stone of brownsville and Lieutenant
Rob Young Of Asheville, an A. & M.
football star. fell heir to two black
demons named Villa and Carranza.
Villa, living up to his 'illustr1ous name
sake, is much the worse of the two.
Lieutenant Young now gets from Villa
the daily rough stuff he is missing on
4he A and NJ. football field.
Texas for Intervention.
Speaking of Villa and Carranza, it
may be noted in passing that Villa
thew call it Veeyah-stands high with
the people Of Ell Paso in comparison
with CarranzG. nine Ell Pasoans out
of every ten swearing on the slight
est proxocation that Villa is the only
man in the whole Mexican muddle that
is worth a picayune and that he has
Carranza outclassed in every respect.
The tenth will declare that one is as
bad as the other. These Texas people
want Intervention and that right
away. They are the busiest bunch OF
knockers you ever ran across and they
keep the anvil chorus going just as
long as one can listen to it.
Mountain Climbing.
Another party of mountaineers seal
ed the Franklin range north OF the
camp Monday and planted the banner
of their company, ambulance company
No. l, on the topmost peak. They found
rattlesnakes galore and killed one big
one. They also made the acquaintance
Of that charming animal, the coyote.
These Tar Heels are an energetic
bunch and are constantly planning the
widest sort of excursions. The whole
outfit is crazy to cross the border and
set their feet on Mexican soil, but
my al A1OL oAAOW GU ~ Wv ~AAN'
there is way to do it later they will
find 1t.
Several North Carolinians have en-
cOuntered in Ell Paso a young man
from Charlotte, Sergeant Holtsclaw
of the cavalry, who was shot in the
raid on Columbus. After that, when
he got out of the hospital, he was a
truck driver with Pershing's column
down in Mexico He has had many In
teresting experiences and talks very
interestingly.
Fine Quartet.
Field Hospital No. I, Of which Maj.
F. ]. Clemenger of Asheville is COM
handing officer has a quartet that the
major is as proud of as can be. They
sing wonderfully we'll. While their
repertoire is limited, they can put
enough on the old home songs to bring
the tears to your eyes. They gave
concert last night in front of Major
Clemenger's tent to- crowd compos-
ed of General Young, his staff and
large number of enlisted men. The
quartet is composed of Joe Creel,
Casey Barnes, Eugene Cunningham
and Edwin McPhaul.
Settling Down to Grind.
The North Carolina boys are settling
down to the ten weeks grind and are
