On the Waco Camp Ground.
Camp Macarthur, Waco, Texas.
: Snnfnnnhor 90 1917


Well, suppose you are all anxious
to hear of our arrival in Texas. The
trip, though long one, was quite en-
joyable and somewhat different from
the monotony of camp life at Douglas.
We left there Tuesday afternoon and
arrived here Friday, covering nearly
seventeen hundred miles and passing
through Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri,
Arkansas, Oklahoma and a part of
Texas. The reception at WATERFOWL
was great surprise and we were
all more than glad to see so many ia
miliar faces there and to receive the
'teats' and fruits, all of which came in
play on our journey. We were given
some send off in Milwaukee, too; the
whistles blew and bells rang and all the
engines in the yards footed, red and
green lights burned and you would
think it gala day. We were all
treated to cigarettes. We were held
in Chicago quite long time but stayed
on. the train. At st. Louis we were
taken off and given hike about the
city for exercise, and believe me that
is some town-a place that has more
colored people than is actually neces-
sary. Our line of march was through
the business section. We also stopped
at Fort Smith, Arkansas, and were
again taken out for exercise. Waco is
a large city and has a population of
about $4,000, but, of course, have not
had good glimpse Of it yet. The first
night at Camp Macarthur we slept in
our pup tents and the next day we
were busy lot putting up tents and
getting settled, for how long nobody
knows. We are all in good health and
spirits and | think we will like our new
home.
In behalf of the boys in uniform here
who have relatives and friends in Ed
gerton, send greetings. And let me
say in conclusion, that each one of US
will appreciate letter, card, or even
a line or two from any one of you.
Will give you our new address as soon
as reorganization is announced.

My dear Mr.. Perry:-I entire
ly agree with the conclusions
contained in your letter Of May
fifteenth. I would be sincerely
sorry to see the men and boys
in our colleges and schools give
up their atheletic sports and I
hope most sincerely that the
normal course of college sports
will be continued so far as posi-
BILE, not to afford a diversion to
the American people in the days
to come when we shall no doubt
have our share of mental depres-
sion, but as a real contribution
to the national defense, for our
young men must be made physi-
cally fit in order that later they
may take the place of those who
are now of military age and ex-
hibit the vigor and alertness
which we are proud to believe
to be characteristic of our young
men.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson

the most interesting and fascinating
to be seen by older people. Eleven
boys pitting not only Drawn but their
brains against one another for a
clean cut victory is surely a wonder
full game to watch. Mt. Horeb comes
