Writes of Big Hike

m. Our cooks arriving later on
the ration wagon said they
waited until after 1880 before
entering the column as it left
Llano Grande, and that at least
two miles of the wagon train
strung out behind them.
The maneuvers in all details
have followed as closely as pos
sible to service in actual war;
fare. For the first time we were
issued regular emergency rations
for two days use, consisting of
bareback, a slab of bacon (near
bacon) coffee, sugar, salt and
pepper, and given instructions
not to use the same except by
official orders. Be it said how
ever, even when the wagons
failed to arrive with supplies,
and when we couldn't get apples
and lunches from roadside
"grafters," we didn't go hungry.
We found that a couple slices of
bacon and a few squares of hard
tack heated and crisped in ba-
con grease made a most edible
life-saver. We carried no ball
cartridges and only five rounds
blank ammunition. No sick men
were taken along and those who
were taken so i'll out on the field
as to make them useless in a
firing line were first treated at
the field hospital and then re-
turned to base hospitals at eth
er U.ano Grande or Brownsville.
There were very few who

very unsympathetic toward or

feet and minor ailments. Strict
orders against struggling also
helped to keep many in line.

We had no bugle calls, once
our line had entered the "ene-
my's" country. AS our column
advanced regiment preceded it
by a distance of 81 mile as in
advance guard. Cavalry also
secured the country ahead to To-
cate the foe. At night each regi-
mental camp protected itself by
strong outposts from possible
night attacks. Arrived on the
field of battle we dug shallow
trenches, and we found that the
enemy had constructed barbed
wire entanglements before their
own rifle pits. The artillery was

Letter Written on Historic Bat
tlefield Tells of War Game
and Army Life
Pa2o Alto, Battlefield.

Palo Alto, Battlefield.
Thurs, Nov. %, 1916.
Dear Friend:
We are encamped for the sec
ond day on an immense plain
close by the gulf of Mexico be-
tween Brownsville and Point
Isabel. For five days we have
g ven chase to a Brown" army
which as a foe was assumed to
have landed a hostile force at
Point Isabel had taken Browns
vile, San Benito and were fore
ing defenders out of Harrington
when our division arrived from
Llano Grande with reinforce
ments. We have forced the enc
my back, cut them off from their
base and after today's and to-
morrow's battle is over, we of
the white army shall probably
have annihilated our Brown"
foe.
Our camp site is on the bat
tlefield of historic Palo Alto.
About miles and a half to the
southwest of Company L street
a low-lying clay butte about
three quarter mile in length alb
ruptly folds upward from the
plain, and on this butte, am
told, Santa Anna in the First
Mexican war stationed his ar
tillery to oppose Zachary Tay-
lor's army. Recently this plain
has been used as a range for ma
tional guard artillery target
practice, and some of our boys
have been interested to find
pieces of shrapnel or entire
shells near by.
The white" army to which
we belong is designated from the
Browns" by white bands on the
hats of the men. Each army is
practically a complete organiza-
ton in itself, including infant
ry, cavalry, artillery, engineers,
signal corps, field hospital corps
and supply trains. We have
been disappointed in not seeing
an aeropQane squadron in the
maneuvers. In column forma-
ton our own division reaches
great length. Saturday we made
our first camp at LaFeria, nine
miles from home, about 200 p.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1916-12-13

across an open field, thinking us
to be few in number and at
about 200 yards called for our
surrender. The umpire with us
ordered us to show ourselves
and by reason Of our superior
force and the protection we had
we were made captors rather
than captives.
Throughout the whole man.
euver Company l. and in fact
our entire battalion, never fired
a shot. In the big battle we were
constantly held in reserve.
Saturday last, the two armies
passed in review before General
Parker and his staff at Resaca
de Ia Palma. Thousands of spec
tators, soldiers and civilians wit
messed this parade, which is
said to be the biggest review
he.d since the close of the Civil
War, and which lasted two hours.
Certainly it was thriller, bands
fairly bursting with martial mu
sic, infantry passing in perfect
lines with legs and arms SHUT
ling back and forth in perfect
rhythm, artillery going by on
the gallop, cavalry at a double
time, the riders with sabers
drawn and flashing at attention.
think we were all mighty proud
to be soldiers, probably no one
whose fighting instincts were
not all buzzing and tingling up
and down the spinal column. We
have later been informed by
Colonel Luce of the First that
in an interview with the divi-
sion quartermaster at Browns
vile the latter said that the
Second Minnesota had the larg-
est men and kept the best lines
of any organization taking part
in the review.
We rested one day in Browns
vile and returned to camp Llano
Grande by a three days march.
The last days hike of II miles
after the past strenuous days
was real test of endurance of
men and we were particularly
happy to note that in our regi-
ment only three men rode in the
ambulance while the First had
both it's wagons full. Even Col
onel Luce of the First could not
find room in his own wagons to
rest from a prolonged state Of
bibulous excitement and exhaus-
ton and finally asked permission
to ride in our own wagons. This
request was promptly refused
by Major Merrill of the Medical
Corps.
We have had Thanksgiving,
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1916-12-13

and from the eats we had, it
was a home-like Thanksgiving.
Uncle Sam furnished turkey, po-
tatoes, cranberries, dressing,
bread, coffee, and our own Off
GERS generously contributed ice
cream and fruit. Ernie Gallea
sent us fruit cake, and George
Johnson of Seaforth, father Of
Corporal Bobbie Johnson, fur
nished cigars. Everybody was
happy and even the cooks were

usually screened by brush and

usually screened by brush and
trees.
The chief lack of realty to
this warfare was the actual
shooting of men, but this detail
was carefully managed by UNI
pires. Under the direction Of
General Parker staff Of 80 UNI
pires, one to each separate or
ganization acted as bullets and
other destructibles of war, and
killed and wounded whatever
men were exposed to hostile fire.
Happily this permitted any man
or any organization killed or
completely annihilated one day
to be resurrected in time to en-
! ter the next days battle.
Three days we spent on the
historic battlefelds Of Palo Alto
and Resaca de la Palma. The
first day we lay in trenches from
800 in the morning to 800 p.
M, the time when the maneuv-
ers closed each day, artillery
booming on all sides, rifles of
infantry cracking in a desultory
fire. The next morning we heard
the orders read: Advance
promptly all along the line. Con-
tinue in spite >of all losses; meet
the enemy and destroy them"
Applying a bit Of imagination
we temporarily tensed with the
thrills of actual battle. Advance
we did. We first encountered a
slough at the end of a resaca
and through it we stumbled, only
to meet more formidable bar
rier-a dense thicket Of chapar-
rail- and mesquite. There was
no stopping for thorns, hordes
of them that bristled and stab
bed at one from every direction
until we emerged at a dry canal
a mile beyond the entrance to
the thicket. With our whole
battle front in place ready to
make a general attack on the
enemy on the plain of Resaca
de la Palma, the chief umpire
declared the maneuvers at an
end.
No decisions as to victories
were supposed to have been made
by umpires. General criticisms
only were given. From these
we cleaned, however, that the
Minnesota brigade had been Civ

turing the town Of San Benito

The Prosecutors Plans.

The work of Stephen and his con-
synasogues of the foreign-speaking
Views had caused the prosecutions that
started with his death against the fol-
lowers Of Christ, because the discrimi-
mating minds of their Hellenistic He
brew leaders saw that the principles
advocated by the FIRST martyr of the
Christian faith meant an inevitable
break with Judaism. The Pharisees. in
their religious zeal. did not disturb the
apostles, whose training under the
chris, had given them gradual
widening view of the meaning of the
Messiah but who. in their advocacy of
the resurrection Of the Lord and !. Is
return, did not present the univel al
elements of the new faith that was
destined to separate it from the old. As
long as they taught that Christianity
was division of Judaism and support
"a the teachings Of the Pharisees con-
corning the resurrection. they were
projected by the powerful and popular
religious sect who sympathized with
their teachings. From this same class.

new faith would remove the barriers Of

Sauls conversion was one OF the
great pivotal events of primitive Chris
tianity. 1t marked a new stage in the
spiritual welfare of the world The
radical and dramatic change that
transferred Saul, the arch-inquisl'or
and prosecutor of the early Church,
into the great missionary to the Cen
tiles whose ministry, messages ana
methods have nodded to large eX-
tent the history OF Christianity,
brought an end to the general persecu-
ton that followed the death of Steph-
On. The prominent place given to his
conversion in the Scriptures indicates
that in the mind of the historian whose
epochal event. In two other portions
Of the Acts, that will be considered in
later studies, we will trace IN saul
own words the spiritual revolution that
took place when he faced the great
crisis of his own life while on the ROAD
to pamas SOUS to prosecute the church.
Saul was an intensely religious man,
whose bitter antagonism to CHRISTIAN
ity was due to his profound CONVICTION
that it was hostile to the religion, rit-
n.I ana requirements of the Mosaic
revelations that he believed were per
manent and eternal in their principles.
precepts and provisions in reference TO
mans duty both for God and his Eel
,ov man Righteousness formed his
IDEAL before he experienced the vision
that revealed to him his misconceptions
Of Christianity, and it continued to be
his dominant ideal after his CONVEX
sion. His old faith proved a stepping
.,one "a well as stumbling block to
his acceptance Of the new religion.
"Opnosite as his new life seems TO his
former career. there is logical and
moral bond between the two: fara .
