and tell your men just what l have
said" That was the message of Gen.
James Parker, commander OF the
Brownsville district, when he visited
Camp Llano Grande for the first time
and talked to the 100 field and staff
officers of the Minnesota brigade.
There is no necessity Of going into
Mexico today" he said, "but no one
can tell but that tomorrow new gov
eminent will make an attempt on the
present one. Then we will go in, in
all probability, and help in the estab.
lishment of a stable government"
Long Stay Indicated.
His visit has renewed speculation as
to when the Third would be sent
home, or when they would go across
the line, if tho militia is to be sent into
the neighboring country.
Preparations here are on such a
large scale that everything points to a
long stay, in the face of the agitation
throughout the states designed to
! bring matters to head in the near
future.
Large warehouses have been built,
and stores supplies of all kinds, in.
! Guiding clothing, ammunition and food
have been stored ready for use.
Thirty-three large motor trucks re.
Gently were added to those stationed
at Llano Grande, and a line of them is
constantly moving between the camp
and nearby towns, carrying supplies.
Permanent kitchens, rooted and
screened, are being built, and floors
will be put in all tents, making them
, suitable for use in winter as we'll as
summer.
Another issue of clothing, the third
since the Duluth men reported at
their armory in June, will be made in
the near future, acquisitions having al
ready gone forward.
+ ( X
! New Practice System.
The Minnesota infantry regiments
are trying out new method Of target
practice. They are shooting at NINA.
ture targets at distance of fifty
yards. This craftsmanship is just as
difficult as shooting at a large target
at longer range, and the practice is
declared to fit the men for the sort
of firing they would have to do if
they were sent into Mexico. Ranges
containing the larger targets, such as
those at Fort Smelling, may be erected
later.
