COLONEL OF 304TH FIELD ARTILLERY
 PRAISES HIS MEN

Colonel E. H. Yule. commanding the 340th Field Artillery made up of men from Arizona has written to Governor Campbell telling him of the splendid showing made by. the regiment in the Liberty bond contest standing eighth in all of the organiza eions at the frs; and at the head of all the large units
 With 27S5 men, the regiment sub scribed $2S9,05O or sS5,SO per capita.
 Continuing Colonel Yule says:
 Football Funds.
 ~ 'l am in receipt of your two letters of October 18th and 2Sd. enclosing checks for s157 and SIP. respectively. have turned this money into the reg mental fund, and immediately had it checked out to the eight organizations of the regiment, one-eighth to each, viz: to Headquarters company, supply company batteries A." B." e." D." "E," "F."
 All of the above organizations have football teams, and they certainly ap- preciate having the money. We have several intra,regimental games. but have not, as yet played anybody out side of the regiment. The men derive great deal of benefit from playing football and practising.
 I am sure that all the regiment ap- preciate getting the remittances from home, and it will be spent for football supplies only. In fact, most of the out fits have already spent money for foot ball outfits raised by subscriptions from the men. Now that money is coming from home. this releases tha. much of the battery funds, which they can use for other purposes.
 No Guns or Equipment.
 The regiment is doing very nicely, considering the equipment that we have to work with. At present we have no guns, nor equipment of any kind. A few days aso, we received twelve old cavalry horses, and yester- day we received sixty more, and we are getting about twenty mules today all of this with nothing but halters, as We might just as well not have them. However. we are glad to get them. Any day a whole train of sup plies is liable to arrive; We never know from one day to the next what we will have, so we just keep busy with what we have to work with.
 Conduct Is Good.
 I am very much pleased at the con- duct of the Arizona men. There have been no infractions of the discipline, which says a whole lot in itself. con sidering that the men have suffered quite a little hardship here on account of the variable weather.
 The regiment did wonderfully well on the second liberty lead campaign. subscribing s135,lOO. which is SS3.4C per capita. Most of the time during the campaign we led all of the regi- ments of the division, but at last the Missouri troops beat us out. The of ficer l had in charge was requested to figure the per capita amount to see II we had pulled up in:o the lead after a little quiet canvassihg that we did; he informed us that our per capita was sufficiently ahead of the other regi. ments-but it turned out that he was mistaken in his figures and we lost out We all confidently expected to win in the campaign. About s4,000 more would have put us in the lead. have $1.000 more up my sleeve and could easily have raised the other with a little coercion.) am very much dis appointed over it-and guess the en tire regiment is. However, you can as sure the State of Arizona the regiment came across nobiy-just as am sure it will always do.
