Our Sixth Month
On The Border

The following letter, dated Dem
ing. New Mexico, January four
teenth, is addressed to the readers
of the Newark Post:
When we got up this morning
we were confronted with about
two inches of snow. Everything
was white instead of olive drab as
it usually is. 1t looked little bit
like home again, but when the sun
gets out on it there won't be much
white left, for the sunshines at the
rate of 80 and S5 degrees at mid
Gay.
Yesterday we were reviewed by
General Funston and staff of the
Southern Department. Delaware
made a splendid showing. When
we passed the reviewing stand
every company was in step and as
one onlooker said, "The line look
ed like one huge man, with a pair
u, hig pants on" Just ahead OF
us were the national colors and
the Delaware colors. There are
two long blue streamers on the
| Delaware colors with Blue Hens
| chickens stamped on in gold. The
| chicks did their share, too. Aftel
we came back to camp the Genera
was escorted to our Compan!
kitchen which by the way is th'
best in the Delaware regiment
| Colonel Glenn brought the Genera
over and told him to look it over
