SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 15. - That the boys of the national army are rap idly adjusting themselves to camp life and enjoying it is indicated in practically all the letters which are written home The following is from a veteran" of the first contingent who is training at Camp Lewis, near Tacoma, Washington:
 Camp Lewis has changed rapidly in the last ten days as a result of the thousands of men pouring in. The first quota of five per cent with which I came, barely made a showing on the lower end of the big parade ground, and now it is necessary to have each company assigned to a small area so as not to run afoul of another group of recruits. With about 25,000 men drilling at the same time, the field presents a busy place.
 The vets of two weeks had an op- portunity last week to see what they looked like. Commencing in the nineteenth and continuing for practi | cally a week, special trains were pour ] ing in from all sections of the west with thousands of men daily. Upon

 The Roosevelt brand was an elk horn on the right rib of cattle and the left shoulder of horses. Although his herd was in Dakota, it was near the state line and he took a prominent part in the activities of the Montana Stockmen's Association.
 He made many speeches against the activities of cattle thieves. according to the records of the organization, and on one occasi~2 ras strong in de nouncing res n Dn in opposition to the interstate ,nm,~ercn law.

At the rear of the runway on an elevated platform was the officers who called off the names. The recruits were then form ed into double files, and marched off to barracks, to which they had been assigned.
 It seemed as if the procession would never end. At all hours of the day and night one could see or hear marching columns.
 Recently the regiment recruited some buglers and thus far we have learned everything except the Pay day March" Guess that will come shortly, as the first arrivals were mus tered in this morning and signed the payroll. Later, when Uncle Sam has 46,000 men to pay and about $1,50O,000 is handed out each payday, things should be likely.

FRENCH FRONT, Sept. 29. - lBy l Ssaul - To say q come from the battlefield of the Chemin des Danes -the Ladies' Road-stamps French soldier in the popular mind today as 2 hero, Verdun had seized the popu- lar imagination owing to it's position as the door through which the Ger mans hoped to break to reach the heart of France, Even the battle or Verdun, in which the French, by thelr long-suffering determination to resist succeeded in thoroughly defeating the Germans, is considered by some ob- servers or lesser operation than that of the Chemin des Danes, whose pos session means the command of the great road to the north by which the Germans must retreat.
 The outcome of this great battle has at the date of writing not been finally determined.

In the first a tack by the French, when they starte their offensive on the Aisne, about 50 900 German prisoners and 200 canno were captured. Since then attack ha followed attack, either from tn French or the Germans, and when tt total of these operations is summe up the result is shown that every for days during four months there hs been a battle on more or less exte
