THIRST HITS D. 6. MEN
ON HOT, DUSTY MARCH
Signal Corps Members Disregard
Warning to Fill Canteens and
Undergo Much Suffering.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ELGIN, Ariz., with District Signal
Corps wagon train, overland from Bis
bee to Nogales. October Although
cautioned to fill their canteens before
they left Fort Huachuca yesterday,
number of members of the District
Signal Corps Company did not heed the
instructions. Today they knew, many
of them for the first time. what it
means to have a thirst that only a
drink of water will quench.
After a long march over rough and
dusty roads, intensified by the horses
hoofs, which kept a cloud over the
command at all times, the boys began
to feel the need of water. Many had
not even taken the trouble to fill their
canteens before they left the last camp
ing ground. while others, wasted it on
the way. They were warmed by their
comrades who had seen border service
before that they would need it before
they had gone far, and they did. There
was nothing for them to do but wait.
Many small streams were crossed on
the way, but only the animals were al
lowed to drink there The strict sanitary
precautions taken to protect the health
of the soldiers forbid their drinking any
water from open streams, except where
the water had been filtered and other
wise Sterilized.
Have Learned Lesson Well.
These streams had not received the Of
fetal O. X. of the medical department,
so the men had to go without, except for
small amounts that they could persuade
their comrades with filled canteens to
give them. 1t was a lesson that they will
not forget
Both men and animals showed the eff
fects of the long, hard march over the
bad roads between Fort Huachuca and
this place. The wagon train which fol-
lowed the command found it particu-
larly difficult travelling, but finally reached
the camp, only a short time behind the
main body.
Early tomorrow morning the command
will begin the last leg OF it's journey, be-
ing under orders to report at old Fort
Crittenden. There Capt Oliver c. Terry,
commanding the organization, will re-
ceive his orders telling what part the
District organization will play in the big
maneuvers. The men are well seasoned
and are expected TO give good account
of themselves in any problem which will
be given them.

now at Wind Mill ranch, Tex, having
just taken up new camp there. ac
cording to Sergt. James E. Mills of that

G. mess hall and mud hut. The boys
have been getting a change in diet
since they arrived there, having had
goat several times. They also found a
place to swim.
"a accommodating patrol" says let
ter from Mills. found a large lake
about two miles from here. Half of the
men are allowed to go in swimming one
day and the other half the next.
ITO give you an idea OF about where
we are. | Will say that we are forty
five miles south of Eagle Pass and 200
miles from the Gulf OF Mexico. 1t is
a lot more comfortable here than at
Eagle Pass. as we get the cool breeZes
from the gulf. This country is fun Of
game, especially the long cared rabbit;
also an abundance OF strange birds.
We dug trenches around our camp
and in case of an attack we have pro-
lection. However, there is not any
danger of such an attack, but, never
theless. we are alert and on the job.
The supplies corle from Eagle Pass
once week in trucks and with them
come the mail.

NEW TEACHERS
SCORE SUCCESS
PRECURSORS sCHOETTLE AMI
kkNUTXI1N WARMLY RECEIVED
IN INTRODUCTORY RE
CITAL.

An appreciative audience at the
First Methodist church last evening
was impressed by the high character
of the talent which has been added
to the department of music at Dakota
Wesleyan, when an introductory re-
cital was given by Prof. Gustav
Schoettle, pianist. and Prof. Edwin
G. knutzen, yiolinist, Miss Georgia
Scott acting as accompanist for
Prof. knutzen.
Prof. Schoettle, who was for a
number of years head OF the depart
ment Of music of the Iowa state uni
versity, demonstrated very quickly
that he is brilliant performer. The
ease and grace with which he pre-
sented the most difficult passages
from two works by Chopin Impress
ed his hearers not only with the fin
ish of his technique. but also with
the extent OF the reserve he possess
ses. His faculty of sympathetic in
depreciation was brought out in his
exquisite rendition of Brassin's noe
turne, "Au Clair de la Lune"
Prof. Knutzen, who comes from
Sioux City, also was given enthusiaS-
tic tributes of applause by the aud
fence. The vigor and precision of
his execution was pleasing to his
hearers in such selections as tho
concerto from Vieuxemps and the
mazurka by Wieniawsk. His Yer
satility was made manifest by his
impressive playing of the Wonderfully
sentimental treatise upon death by
Grieg.
Following the concert. many OF the
audience crowded forward to express
to Professors Knutzen and Schoettle
their appreciation OF the exceptional
ability disclosed by the concert.

OLYMPICS Play
FAREWELLGAME
AT PARK TODAY
Visitors Meet Crack 18th In.
fantry Organization in
Windup of Series

This afternoon the Olympics will bid
farewell to the baseball fans of Homo
lulu, and in doing so will make every
attempt to win the closing game from
the strong 25th Infantry organization.
Martin will in all probability mount
the hilltop and attempt to secure re-
venge for the beating earlier in the
week. Rogan is slated to be Wyman's
pitching selection:
This game should be one of the real
contests CT the series, and both teams
will be on their toes to win. The 25th
squad Is anxious to set mark as the
only aggregation to win two contests
from the visitors, and every player
viii be at his best in this game. The
OlS mpic players realize that they will
be up against hard proposition. but
they are going into the game TO win.
olymoics Confident.
The recent batting affair where the
visitors secured bundle Of bingles
has given them confidence, and the
25th twirler will naturally have a hard
er fight TO send them back to the
aquatic pail. Barker is leading the
hitters of the Olympics at present and
other PLAYERS are crowding him close
for his honers, and an effort will be
made to go in the lead by the star bat
tiers OF the team.
Looking at the situation from every
angle, the game today should be close,
with the 25th Infantry slight fayorites,
but strange things may happen in a
ball game, and with Martin pitching
bang-up ball the soldiers will have to
fight for every point Rogan is good
strong pitcher, and in addition is one
of the best-hitting pitchers in the game
today With Rogan are other swat
smiths who will make Speeder Martin
pitch good ball TO beat them. Grafton
and johnson are destined to annex a
swat during the contest, if they play
up to their usual form.
The consensus of opinion among the
fans appears to be that the Olympics
should be ranked right up with the
best teams here. They cannot field
like the Chinese stars, nor hit like the
18th, but they have well rounded
team and a good pitching corps, with
Peaches Martin as a bright star
Whichever way the game goes today,
the fans are due for hard fight that
may not be settled until the last man
has been retired The teams will take
the field at p. m.
