like the border patrol fine.
This is a level country and very
rich soil but not enough rainfall
to be a successful farming country
and the Rio Grande affords plenty
of mosquitoes. to keep the soldiers
busy without fighting Mexicans
There has been no signs Of an
outbreak since we came here. The
boys are getting plenty of drill,
about four hours per day is all
and the rest of the time is their
own to go to town if they wish or
pitch horse shoes, play ball or
anything for amusement. We get
plenty to eat of good, substantial
food, and pie once in a while.
The water is not very good here as
it comes out of the Rio Grande and
is very warm. The weather is not
cold here. a soldier could go
without a shirt if he would be per-
mitted to and be comfortable. At
night it is not hot as the sea
breeze keeps the temperature
about the same.
Speaking of Brownsville, it is
not a very large town and popu-
lated mostly with Mexicans and
now and then a ranger gets lost
and comes to town to find out
where he is. The mesquite brush
is so thick on the ground here
that a horse can't hardly get
through it.
We have a large Y. M. c. A.

kept busy most of the time be-
tween Reville and Retreat and we

Coal Selling at $50 a Ton in Italy
and May Go Higher.

Rome, Italy, Sept. 30.-The
high cost of living, and particular
Iy the price of coal, is becoming a
subject of grave concern in Italy
rs another war winter approaches.
Due to continued excessive freight
rates by sea, many staple food ar
ticles are dearer in Italy than
either France or England. De-
spite a special treaty with Eng
land for cheaper freight rates to
be obtained by the loaning of
ships, sugar is selling at 20 cents
a pound and can be bought only
in small quantities for household
consumption from day to day.
Caffee sells at so to 70 cents
pound, according to grade.
Though Italy is a heavy producer
Of wines, a table wine that once
sold at 6 cents a quart now sells
for IA cents, and is inferior to
the old Scent grade. Beer is sold
at IA cents a quart, milk at 10
cents. Good butter is SIS cents a
pound.
Coal that before the war sold
at $40 a ton now sells at $50 and
the price may 60 higher as win
ter. comes. Last winter it was
$50 to $40 a ton. Italy hopes to
import 5000 tons from England
and $50, 900 tons from the United
States for industrial uses this
winter.
