it is so.
Nobody can know everything The wisest

After being on the march for nearly

been planned for them, the signal

when the orders came recalling the

was made necessary by the orders to
Utah, California and Connecticut troops,

their state mobilization camps for mus

Houston, October S.-Early this morn
ing this section of the Sd Infantry
the Cd Infantry from Fort Myer, Va,
to Fort Sam Houston. Tex, where it is
to go into camp, crossed the Texas
border and started on the last leg of it's
journey. The train now has left the
Arkansas lowlands behind and has got
ten into the cotton fields.
The boys were out of bed long before
reveille this morning, fighting a real
battle. Red river mosquitoes boarded
the train, larger and more aggressive
than the Fort Myer kind-if such can
be the case-and made sleeping miser-
able for all of the men. Their mos
quito bars were packed away. and
there was nothing to do but to get up
and fight.
At Little Rock, Ark. the train was
stopped for while to put drinking

Shortly after the train left Texar-
kama it was put on siding SO that
nineteen cars. containing a part of the
18th Pennsylvania Infantry, could be
attached. However,, there was no
chance for the District men and the
Pennsylvanians to exchange greetings,
for in between were a number of
freight and fiat cars. The Pennsylvania

Third Infantry Is Busy
Completing Camp Site
After Five Days Travel
BYJ. CROSBY MCCARTHY,
staff Correspondent.

CAMP WILSON, San Antonio. Tex.
October 10.-Officers and men Of the Sd
Infantry, District Militia, which arrived
here yesterday from Fort Myer. Va. after
five days on the train, were busy today
completing their camp site. All that was
necessary for them to do was to erect
the tents and unpack the baggage, as
the camp site was otherwise prepared,
the Illinois troops having left all of the
mess halls and other structures standing
The organization has been assigned to
the I'd Brigade of the 18th division
commanded by Brig. Gen. Howard R.
Hill.
1t had been planned to get all three sec
tons of the train together before entering
camp. SO that they could come in to-
gether, but the third section was so far
behind. that the first two went right to
the camp site and the third came in dur
ing the afternoon. The cars were put
on tracks within 100 yards of the new
camp site of the Sd Infantry. This site
was vacated only two days ago by the
sth Illinois Regiment of Infantry, colored
troops

and reminds the soldiers of the Camp
Ordway site While the camp was
thoroughly drained by the troops that
preceded them nevertheless there will
be plenty of mud to remind them of
Fort Myer. Heavy rains put the camp
in bad shape. The mud is of the
black, gummy variety, similar to that
which the mounted organizations had
in their camp at Fort Myer.
This site is very close to the division
headquarters
The officers and men are eager to
get settled in their new place. and
they lost no time in unloading the
cars, that the permanent camp can
be established. Although only a very
short distance from the tracks, a COM
pany of the big motor trucks, used by
the army on the border, was assigned
to the Sd Infantry for unloading, thus
expediting the work to such an ex-
tent that much Of the big tentage was UP
before nightfall.
While the Sd Infantry took all of
the lumber and screening necessary to
put up mess halls for the men, they
Will not have to use it.
The Illinois troops left all of their

soldiers. This. too, will enable the Sd

Having Time Of Their Lives.

The men are having the time of their

tired. They are thoroughly enjoying
the trip in every way. except few men
of Company l. who. when the train
stopped at small Arkansas station,
gave a number of small boys money
with which to buy fruit for the SOL

Rumor of Early Departure.

1t was learned here on reliable au-
thority that these three District units
probably will follow the 5th New Jer-
sey Regiment of Infantry, which has
orders to return home within ten days.
While the men here seem to be thor
oughly enjoying their experiences on
the border nevertheless the news that
they might soon return home was re-
ceived with much joy. Many of them
are anxious to get back to friends and
relatives and their civil occupations

tice yesterday at Niggerhead mountain,

Sandstorms Also at Douglas.

When the camp was established at
Douglas the men did not get the
chance to engage in practical hospital
work, as at Warren, but participated
in the routine drills, which became
tiresome, along with the climate. The

storms every day now, lasting for about
three hours in the worst part or the
afternoon. when ii is necessary to close

While the District Signal Corps. now

further than the fact that maneuvers in
which it was to participate have been
called off, notice of orders received here
directs this command to proceed 1mme-
diately to Douglas by train. 1t had been
planned for the organization to march to
Douglas, a trip of about fifteen days.
The order to entrain for Douglas is
taken as an indication that the signal

Car Shortage Causes Delay.

The delay in departure is said to be
due to shortage of railroad equipment
but with the arrival of many addi-
tional troops on the border from state
mobilization camps it is expected that
some of this equipment will be used to
send the District medical men home.
! The Signal Corps Company is at
Nogales awaiting orders. This organ
ization is scheduled to return to Doug

along with Battery B. within a short

| The 1st Separate Battalion, now on
the way home, probably will arrive
here Thursday Friday, according to
information obtained at the War De-
partment. The exact time is not known,
becauce there is no information there
as to what route the colored troops
took. Upon arrival at Rosslyn they will
be sent into camp at Fort Myer, to be
mustered out. The details of this cere-
mony will take about ten days, it is es-
