to the company the method of mark

don't get any place.
Why does Sergeant Thomas drill
the rockies when there are eight cor
porals and six sergeants doing bunk
fatigue? He is willing worker.
From Sergeant Dull
am pleased to say that the outfit
to which l belong was the first organ
ization Of Pennsylvania militia to
reach the border, arriving and de-
training at FL Paso July 4. We were
assigned camp site about a mile from
famous old Fort Bliss situated on the
Alamagora road and very close to Mt.
Franklin. Before making camp it was
necessary for us to clear about two
Nacres of cactus. This is some job as
this cactus is one mass of sharp and
jagged spines.
The militia is receiving some very
valuable training and to my way of
thinking will be in a state of high
efficiency when ordered to their home
stations. The officers of the regular
army are taking a lively interest in
the work of instruction ana are doing
their utmost to place US in condition
for first line defense. These gentle
men represent a very high type or

American manhood and seem to be
capable and efficient.
This mobilization camp is a revela-
ton to many militiamen and numbers
are being surprised continually upon
learning of the many duties that fall
to the lot of the regular soldier. Those
of our number who responded to the
call expecting something in the way
of an excursion are receiving some
thing in the way of a rather rude
awakening.
The general health of our command
is excellent, some few of the men suf-
fering from the effects of the heat.
The thermometer has a disagreeable
habit of going to about los degrees at
3 a. m. and remaining there until 8
p. m. The evenings are ideal, cool
and pleasant, the sunsets being very
beautiful.
All of our men have been inoculated
and vaccinated and in nearly all cases
have recovered from the effects of the
operation. Personally l am feeling
excellent, have made it a rule to con-
fine myself to the army ration entirely,
using no intoxicants of any description.
BY this method ! am able to keep in
very fair physical condition.
My regards to my friends of the
Telegraph.
