which are scheduled to occur in the
hall of the knights of Columbus, on
Boulder between Fourth and. Fifth.
I'VE expect to consume the greater
part Of the day In having the men OF
tho unit mustered in and Inspected -
was the captains expression last night.
I'VE believe that all of the men on
the roster as 1t now stands will pass
the inspection. This will give us Il
margin of at least forty men above
the required war strength.
We are of the opinion at this time
that the unit will go at once to tho
border and as we have been informed
that such an organization as this ~
TO rendor aid 10 body Of men approx .
imntely eight thousand soldiers, we
are also of the opinion that we will
be stationed somewhere near tho

them at a given point Captain LaReau
will have all the necessary equipment
for a base hospital. providing quarters
are secured. AS the organization
moves 1t will carry only the tropical
hospital tents.
The men are eager to depart and
to secure clothing allowances, whloh
will be theirs as soon as they are en-
listed into the federal service. For
the past ten days they have been go
ing through a hard routine Of drill
work that has been hard on their
shoes. and many Of them are greatly
In need OF clothing.
I'VE don't mind that so much
though" said ono Of the rockies yes
terday but we do mind leaving
Tulsa with a bunch OF debts left un-
paid. Our officers have paid out all
they felt like paying In keeping us
fed an dsheltered. But there are
some bills for feed that have not been
paid. Wo would like to 70 out with
these checked Off"
