Health generally is good in camp in
spite of the fact that We are still being
vaccinated forboth typhoid and small

hard drill, is somewhat trying.
At the recent target practice Co. VI

our boys are determined to shine on

Rumors are rife in camp that we are
to be sent to Deming, New Mexico,
Brownsville, and other points ON the

held in training yet for several weeks.
