yERMONT,S SOLDIER BOYS.

President Benton of the State Unver-

Votey and Hills, paid visit Monday
afternoon to the State camp grounds for
the special purpose of greeting the mem
bers of Company G and the hospital
corps and bidding them Godspeed Com
pany c is unique in the regiment in
that it's membership is composed almost
wholly of University of Vermont students.
Tt is safe to predict that Company Q will
be found equal to any duty to which it
may be assigned; that it will take de-
light in following tho lead of it's old
time commandant, Colonel Reeves, whose
two years of service at the university
are gratefully remembered. and that
the Green and Gold will be worthily
represented in the southland by this
splendid group of Vermonts best
product.
The boys of Companies NJ and C as
we'll as of Company c must have re-
ceived inspiration from the enthusiastic
manner in which this city and Winooskl
as a whole turned out Monday after
noon to show appreciation of the
patriotic response made by them to the
call to the country's service Indeed
this tribute was paid to the entire COM
mand, who presented such solaierly
appearance in their military evolutions
in the afternoon in the presence of thou
sands of admirers.
The Green Mountain State is proud o.
all her young men who are demon
strating that they are not in any sens

selves worthy of the best traditions o
the fathers of 20, 'i6. go and '9S. Coz

The real problem, the real thing of in

about to execute, but of the thing the

VERMONT TROOPS FOR EAGLE
PASS.

The Vermont troops that started from
for the Mexican boundary, are destined
for Eagle Pass, Texas. where they are
expected to arrive some time Friday.
This means that the Vermont forces for
the present will be used for the purpose
OF doing guard duty to relieve the
regular army troops now stationed there,
the 3Oth United States Infantry. This is
the regiment of Lieutenant Howard. or
| Captain Howard. as he will be on the
first of July, by promotion, at present
professor of military science at the Uni
versity of Vermont.
| Eagle Pass is one of the important
points on the Rio Grande river, being
short distance north of Fort Duncan.
and opposite the Mexican town of
| Pedras Negras. 1t Is FIVE hundred miles
southeast of FL Paso, and about 300
miles from the mouth of the Rio Grande.
1t is also 275 miles due east of the city
OF Chihuahua, north of which the Next
cans are gathering to resist the Ameri-
can forces coming from the north.
Eagle Pass has about 5000 inhabitants
in normal times, and 1t is located In a
coal-minng, wool-growng and stock
raising district. Its railroad connections
make it an important trading cente.' and
during the Civil War IT enjoyed a large
traffic. In a succeeding issue we shall
speak at length of this point in con-
neCtion with various strategic considera-
tons entering into the general situation
in the event of war with Mexico. Fol
the present there Is no indication OF
the probability of fighting anywhere
near Eagle Pass, the tendency OF
Pershing's invasion from the north being
to draw the Mexican forces away from
Eagle Pass instead of toward It,
