ed that his wish was permanent
peace
Il hear some men say" he said,
that they want to help Mexico, and
the way they propose to help her is
to overwhelm her with force. That
is the wrong way as we'll as the long
way.
After fighting them you would have
nation full OF justified suspicion
Thus you would not help them. You
would shut every door against them.
what MAKES Mexico suspicious is
that she thinks we do not want to
serve, but possess her. And she has
justification for these suspicious in

The government allowance for each
mans provisions for a day is 271a
cents. This does not appear like much
of an allowance and many would no
doubt experience difficulty in feeding
themselves on the sum, but consider
ing the manner in which the govern
ment purchases foodstuffs, every man
has plenty to eat. 1t is the verdict OF
the men that they are receiving better
food and more of it than at Camp
Douglas. The best of meats are served
while fruits, vegetables and other
things are found on the menu.

win return TO Milwaukee soon, but
