SOLDIERS EXPECT TO RETURN
GUARDSMEN AT FRONT BELIEVE
STAY WILL BE SHORT ONE,
LOCAL BOY WRITES

Among the National Guardsmen on
the border the general opinion seems
to be that they will not be stationed
there very long. This is what Edward
Gierok, who was one Of the last to en-
list from here, says in letter to his
father, w. J. Gierok.
Following are excerpts from his let
ter:
Everybody around here likes it
and would do it all over again. The
band is playing now, so everybody's
dancing. 1t plays every morning and
night. We drill in the morning before
mess for Is minutes and from 1870 to
1880 and then from to 2:10. It is
MT so bad, because they let us rest a
lot on account of the heat. The-frst
two days were scorchers because we
had at lot of work to do cleaning up
and getting tents up. When we first
struck here the ground was covered
with trees, brush and mostly this tall
cactus. We've got that all cleaned
up now. The street is as clean as a
cement sidewalk.
"I don't think we will stay down
here very long the way the officers
talk, so I guess we will be home before
1oHS. we are Tie nearest 10 CHe DOr-
der and that s only five miles away.
There isn't anything doing around
here though.
"The water we drink is about luke
warm and once in while we get ice.
We've had lot Of lemonade since
we've been here and we get all we
want to eat, so we're satisfied. The
nearest town to us is three miles and
that is Mercedes. We may go there
pretty soon and camp there.''
