MAILING FORM FOR CAVALRY
Members of Troop .'E' Send Instruc-
tions for Addressing Letters Cap
ton Dayton Contributes Few Side
lights on the Sammies.

Company "M," following closely in
the footsteps of Troop CO. is rapidly
adjusting itself to army life at Camp
Douglas, according to the latest com
munications from Captain Dayton and
other members of his unit. The
civilians who waved their fellow
townsmen goodbye a week ago today
are now full-fedged soldiers, immune
from typhoid and smallpox, and burn
ing for a chance to fight, not the mos
quitoes in Waco, but the Huns in
France. They are learning the tricks
of the trade, too. Drilling, shooting,
petting a mascot, and |fussing the
ladies, they will soon be Sammies de
luxe with all the charming differences
/ that make the army man attractive.
Only one thing has happened to mar
the serenity of Company "M" at Camp
Douglas. Physicians examined the boys
the other day and rejected three Of
their number for various reasons. The
| unfortunate volunteers, thus deprived
of part in the great adventure of
modern war, are Privates Metten, Strom
and Race. Race was declared too
young, Metten was refused because he
had dependent children, while Strom
was disqualified on underweight. The
rejected men as well as the other mem
bers OF the company are all "cut upo
about the matter, but there is no appeal
fPor1 ho n CT 0f 4ha A
that the boys are congratulating them
selves upon the fact that so few Of
their number were found physically
unfit for service and report that
their personnel compares favorably
with that of other companies arriving
in camp at the same time with them.
That the religion Of the Sammies is
not neglected at the training school is
the gratifying inference to be drawn
from Capt. Dayton's latest despatch
1t read: Since Wednesday was Cath
Ollie holiday the Y. M. G. A. kindly ex-
tended the use of it's tent to the
Catholics and mass was celebrated by
Chaplain Father O'Connor of the First
Cavalry Regiment Hundreds attended
from all parts Of the camp and showed
by their presence and participation in
the service that war was having a
SOLDERING effect upon them and bringing
them into a more serious attitude
toward life. It was an inspiring sight
and made profound impression on all
the boys who attended the mass
While the infantry company is learn
ing its first lessons in campology"
the cavalry troop is having its Difficult
ties too. The boys of Captain Coney S
squad are not receiving their mail as
they should and largely because of
avoidable mistakes on the part of the
folks back home. Accordingly Sergeant
Zenas Pitcher, acting under instructions
from the captain, has sent back cor
rect formula for addresses to the
soldiers. Relatives or friends who
are writing to the Sammies should
send their letters to:
