OUR SOLDIERS WITH THE
SECOND ARKANSAS REGIMENT,
Fort Roots, Oct. 10, 1917.

Editor Times. -Harrison's soldier
boys. now Company NJ, Of the li2
Field Artillery Regiment, are doing
well and enjoying excellent health
only one man on sick list.
Our camp site here is an ideal one
on the hillside somewhat below and
just north O. Fort Roots. Each com
pany has a street of its own and to
find tteu you begin with Company A.
and number them as you pass down
the road The company tents are on
your right, while on your left on west
side of the road are the tents Of the
officers. both company and regimen
tai the hospital, the guard house, etc.
The place where the camp is located
was all light timber a couple of
months ago and was cleared by the
First Arkansas, which had been at
the Fort for several months, but is
now doing patrol duty at Camp Pike.
All facilities are most primitive, and
yet are the actual conditions under
which an army would live in the field
away from real quarters. Drainage is
excellent and the camp is a fine one
from the standpoint of sanitation and
cool breezes.
Since the Iowa Field Artillery left a
week ago for Deming, New Mexico,
our regiment has had to do all the
guard duty for Fort Roots, this service
requires nearly two hundred men dai-
ly. We have only enough guns now
for the guards, but continue our reg
ular drill work in company and field
movements. Our equipment will not
be issued until we reach Alexandria,
for which place we are liable to en-
train at any time.
Commissioned officers have had ex-
animation on interior guard duty, and
nCn.cOmmissioned officers are having
one today. Lieutenants Alexander
and Crandell made leading grades of
the lieutenants.
Captain Armitage has offered a
prize Of ten dollars for the best drilled
squad and every corporal is working
for it.

Of Sergeant Taylor and 'Privates
