SAYS ARMY CAN'T BE BEAT If
ONE LOOKS At IT IN THE
RIGHT MANNER.

z. Manns, superintendent of the Nor.

other letter from Carl Criswell, who
is member of Co. G in Brownsville,
Tex, and in it the Ottumwa soldier
kindness of Mr.. Manns the letter is
published for the benefit of the read
ers, many of whom have relatives and
friends among the boys in Browns
vile. The letter follows:
Mr.. K. A. Manns:
VIII try and write you a few lines
this evening as it has been some time
since my last letter and l want to
thank you for publishing 1t in The
Courier. 1t is one good way of letting
all the folks at home know how we
have some job on our hands if we un.
dertook to write to all our friends. At
least. have job writing to the few
fellows | do. This leaves all the boys
in Co. well and enjoying life such
as it is. We are getting three pretty
good meals day but at that 1t doesn't
taste like that we are used to getting
at home. We are having some swell
weather down here which is one thing
in our favor The nights are very
cool but it soon warns up in the morn
ing to rs or S5 degrees. Sure is some
weather to what you are having In OF
tumwa if all reports are true. Isn't it =?
AS for myself. and l think it is so with
good many Of the boys, would just
as soon if not rather be back in Iowa
with it's cold weather and snow drifts.
There has been some change in the
time of reveille and retreat When
we first came down here reville was
at $50 and now it is at 5:45, fifteen
minutes difference. 1t isn't very
much and the only one it benefits is
the first sergeant as he doesn't have
to use lantern for roll call. Retreat
is at & where il used to be at 500
o'clock. That benefits all of us be.
cause if we want to go to town we
get an earlier start and get back ear
lier.
We are not drilling in close order
as we did when we first came We
are having long hikes now in heavy
marching order part Of the time and
the other part with nothing but our
rifles and belts with 100 rounds of am
which sure get little heavy
on your hips by the time you hike ten
miles. We are having competitive
drills, battalion, regimental and brig
ade. to determine which is the best
drilled outfit in Brownsville district.
Last week and this week we have
been having quite few maneuvers
and what they call mimic battles.

Editor The Courier: lnasmuch as
there have been several fatal auto
mobile accidents of late, 1t Is time tho
public is beginning an inquiry. as there
must be some reason for these acct,
dents.
| have occasion. nearly every even.
ing, between five and six o'clock, to
drive to the G. B. & @. round house.
My route is nearly always over East
Fourth to Birch. down Birch to Main,
up Main to Vine, up Vine to Second.
over Second to College and back over
Fourth to Jefferson.
There are a number of children both
boys and girls, on these named streets
whose parents allow them to make
playground Of the streets. They not
only make playground of the street,
but stand and deliberately dare the
driver of a car to run over them. This
is especially so on Birch between
Fourth and Main.
Last evsneng there was football
game going on in front of the Main
Street Methodist parsonage on East
Second street. There are times when
1t is impossible to stop a car on the
spur of the moment l had to bring
my car to dead stop. kill the engine
twice to avoid an accident. These boys
ran back and forth across the street,
escaping not only my car. but dozens
of others, just by hairs breadth.
This is true, not only in this section OF
Ottumwa, but other sections as we'll.
Now, the question is this: Who is to
blame If an accident occurs? Will it
be the parents, the children. the drive.
Of the Car, or the city administration?
It is high time the people of Ottumwa
get to thinking.
