SERVICE ON THE BORDER
IS NOT ALL HARD WORK
Carl J. Fuhrmann of First Mary
land Regiment Writes to His
Parents in Washington.

Carl j. Fuhrmann, jr., of Company f,
l st Regiment. Maryland Infantry, sta
toned at Eagle Pass, has written an
interesting letter to his parents, Mi.
and Mrs Charles J. Fuhr!nann, East
Capitol and 8th streets He expresses
the hope that if the state troops are
not needed at the border they will be
released in time SO that he can re-
turn to college. He says they are well
fed. that he has gained in weight and
that he feels better than he ever did
at home. He writes interestingly of
how he was on guad at the United
states end of the international bridge
with a machine gun beside him ready
for action.
Young Fuhrmann had Just completed
his second year in electrical engineer
ing at the Maryland State College of
Agriculture and was temporarily en-
ployed during vacation as special agent
in the Department of Commerce. When
the Presidents call for the National
Guard was issued. June 1s, Fuhrmann
left his position and enlisted in the
Hyattsvilie company on the 18th.
Concerning the different types of
people l meet, nearly all are dirty
Mexicans, once in while pretty
Spaniard. he SAYS. \ The majority OF
Mexcans are black and ugly. There
are very few white people down here
have only seen about five young white
girls and they generally 30 ip the
house when any one comes along in
uniform. so we don't get much of a
chance to meet any one. The business
men here are nearly all Americans.
'It seems funny to rae that you
folks 1000 miles away know more
about the situation down here than
We do right here on the border Our
company was on outpost duty from

Of the international bridge and had

guard had to search all persons going
