So interested were army officers and officials that many were present at the review and all were loud in their praise of the appearance Of this infant cavalry organization. com posed of Alabama men and commanded by Alabana officers. It is hardly neces- sary to add that the governor was inn mensely pleased with the review, and so expressed himself.
 On the night of Wednesday,, January A, the officers of the regiment ten derel Governor and Mrs Henderson a reception at the St. Anthony hotel The reception commenced at o'clock and for nearly an hour the Governor and Mrs. Henderson and Col. and Mrs Steiner received. At Il o'clock a light supper was served. The affair was one of the most briliient ever given in San Antonio. Among the guests were: Maj. Gen. Fred erck Funston and staff, Brig. Gen. Hfnry F. Greene and staff, and many other mil- tary officers and prominent civilians. The occasion was fitting end to the governors visit and was brilliant sue cess.
 The success of the First Alabama cav airy is easily understood the officers and men enlisted with the idea of service; they did not expect to find army life a

They did not ex- pect to find all the comforts of home in military camp and were mot disap- pointed that no bell boys, parlor maids. white iacketed walters or uniformed door men were to be found at Camp Will son. They just went about the thing in business-like way and took the bad along with the good; they drilled and worked so hard during the entire day that they were too weary at night to find time to write complaining letters to newspapers or whining requests to be mustered out to senators and congress- men, They realized before enlistment that military service modernized has very little of glamor and romance and were willing to accept the realities of life, leav- ing the social features so dear to the heart of the old-time militiaman to the home guard mollycoddles and gold braid Miss Nancys They realize fully the truth of Gen.

headquarters First Alabama Cavalry, For Sam Houston, San Antonio. Tex January S0.-(SpeciaI Correspondenee So many conflicting reports have ap. peared in the newspapers of Alabama concerning conditions supposed to ex ist among National Gaurd troops en- gagged in border service, that a well defined sentiment against the present National Guard system has resulted; so loud and persistent had the kick become and so discouraging the re- ports rom some quarters, that Gov charles Henderson considered it his duty as the commander-in-c of the Alabama National Guard to proceed to the variaus points where Alabama troops were camped and obtain at first hand a knowledge of conditions actu- ally existing
 In carrying out this project, he vis- tied, among other place, Camp Wilson, at San Antonio, Tex, where for the past two months the First Alabama cavalry regiment has been camped. This regiment was the last of the Ala pama units to be ordered into border service, for the reason that it was not in existence when the call of the Pres ident was made, having been organized subsequently to that time
 The First Alabama cavalry was or. ganized through the efforts of a few enthusiastic citizens. most of whom were former National Guard officers. headed by Col. Robert B. Steiner, one of the most widely known and promi- net attorneys of the state. who put aside his large and lucrative law prac- tice and devoted several months of time and oceans of energy to the task of raising this regiment, the first ever raised in America in time of peace. Colonel Steiner was ably assisted by other men prominent in professional and business circles, and who aban- doned personal business to take up the burden imposed by the need OF the nation.
 OFFICERS OF REGIMENT
 As soon as the regiment was organ ized Colonel Steiner became its com manding officer, with Lieut.. Col Bibb Graves, Majors w. J. Walden, B. k. McMorris and Ed l.. Anderson as as- sistants. The personnel of the regi- ment is as high as that of any organ ization in service, the officers being drawn from business and professional life and the enlisted men from farm, workshop and trades.
 Immediately upon being mobilized at Montgomery on September 20, of last year, the regiment met with dis couraging conditions, as the govern ment had just finished the task of

equipping National Gard organizations already in border service and had ex- hausted many classes of supplies, there was very little equipment and ord- nance available. As a matter of fact secondhand mess kits. tents and some minor articles were the only things obtainable; for weeks no uniforms, shoes or supplies of this character were to be had, although urgent re- quests were made for all these. Army officers interested were especially ac- tive in the endeavor to fill the needs of the regiment and finally after many delays everything necessary was fur nished.
 The regiment was first placed under the instruction of Capt. Thomas A. Roberts, Seventh cavalry, U. s. A., veteran of the Spanish and Island wars and an active. able and energetic of ficer. Captain Roberts did wonders for the mass of untried and untrained men who composed the regiment. Work was the slogan of the First Alabama cav olry--from 5:30 in the morning until 10 o'clock at night the camp was as

 EQUIPMENT IS AMPLE
 With reference to the charges made that equipment has been lacking, hos pital facilities insufficient and rations of poor quality, this is absolutely un- true so far as Camp Wilson is con- cerned. The ration has been bounti- ful and wholesome and all necessary equipment of every kind has been cas- fly and promptly obtainable. The hos pital facilities are as good as needed, the base hospital where all patients confined to beds are handled is first class in every respect and every pro- vision is made for the proper care of patients. It has full complement of surgeons and nurses and is operated along the most modern lines. It will compare favorably with any city hos pital.
 The health of the camp is excellent and IS kept so by constant inspection and urgent effort upon the part of surgeon inspectors, both regular army and Ma tional Guard, who make daily rounds of inspection, and take pains to see that any infraction of hygienic rules is promptly renledied
 On Tuesday, January g, Governor and Mrs. Henderson arrived at the camp. They were received by an honorary es- cort consisting of Troop k of the regi- ment urder command of Capt. William c. Oates. Capt. Howard Gaillard of Troop Il was detailed as aide to the governor during the period of his visit to the camp. The first day of the visit was taken up by . minute inspection of the camp and its surroundings and visit to the hos pitals. The governor took nothing for granted and made personal and extensive inquiry as to conditions, and satisfied himself that things were as they should be. Upon his visit to the base hospital he found very few Alabama soldiers as patients as the health of the regiment is excellent.

SOME STRENUOUS RIDING

Tn the school of riding or. rather. as the regular army men say, "equita- tion." the officers are trained first. which training consists of very strenuous course likely to frighten the novice to death. They are made to ride down steep embankments, down slides and to jump hurdles and ditches while in the act of pulling their shirts over their heads and while their feet are removed from the stirrups and the reins loose on the horses neck. In fact. finished cavalry rider is qual flied to accept position in a circus as . trick rider
 In addition to the training as riders
 he officers are required to attend lec- lures where subjects of interest are discussed and questions answered as to all problems relating to military life and service, while the enlisted men are constantly required to listen to talks on service and to learn regula- tions and orders
 A great deal has been written in the press of Alabama and other states concerning alleged failure upon the part of regular army officers to CO., orerate with the officers of the Ma tional Guard. In the case of the First Alabama cavalry this is absolutely un- true, as every regular army officer from the commanding general of the department down to the last joined lieutenant has been uniformly cour- teous and seemingly anxious to in- struct the regiment. This has been true since mobilization. Every regular officer has exerted himself to the limit to train the men properly. This is es- pecially true of the officers at pres ent detailed for duty with the regi- ment of whom there are four: Col. William A. Shunk. Mai Casper Con- rad, Capt. James S. Greene and Lieut.. William DE. Morton. Each of these officers is a specialist in some par ticular branch and all have exerted themselves to train the regiment up Into an efficient unit which will be

NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE

To illustrate the full extent of the ignorance of the regiment from a mill itary standpoint at the time of it's organization, it is only necessary to say that in one of the troops which contained nearly a hundred enlisted men only two had previous military service of any kind either National Guard or regular. The men, however, soon began to respond to the train ing and to put on more the appear ance of soldiers though not yet in uniform nor provided with rifles or sloearms. Eight hours drill a day be- gan to set them up and to give them the boise so common of regular sol diers. Finally, after some weeks of drill, uniforms were furnished and the regiment was changed in night into a soldierly looking body of men whose appearance was a credit to Alabama. On December of last year the regiment was ordered to proceed to San Antonio, Tex, and take their share of border training service. Up to this time the men had drilled al together on foot. no horses having been available. Immediately upon ar rival at Camp Wilson the regiment was attached to the twelfth provision al division and horses and horse equipment were furnished and the ceaseless round of drill begun anew, fof although a large majority of the men were accustomed to horses it should be known that the riding of a cavalryman is entirely different from that of the ordinary horseman and cavalry horses are not gaited as are the saddle horses of A1ahar,,
