Uncle Sam as acknowledged dean oi
pack mule transportation. during which
he figured In practically all Of the
great Indian campaigns and later in
Cuba during the Spsnlsh-Americar
War, Major Henry II. DAILY is at the
Camp Dix remcunt depot TO aid in
structors here in improving this branch
Of the work. His coming TO Camp Dix
is a remarkable coincidence IN his ca
reer. as u brings him once again under
command Of Major General Hugh L.
Scott. General Scott was a lieutenant
fresh from West Point I'm the Seventh
Cavalry in 1877 when Daily first knew
him, while Colonel, later General
Sturgis, father Of the present com
mander of the s7th Division here, was
in command Of the cavalry regiment
with Lleuiensnt-ColOnel Custer as sec
ond in command.
Through several OF the Indian cam
paigns in which General Scott partici-
pated DAILY was in charge Of the supply
trains. Later he had charge OF the
American supply trains in Cuba, where
again he was i'm touch with General
Scott. then adiutant TO General Wood.
The Philippine campaign brought them
together once more and the veteran OF
the plains Is delighted that in still an
other war he should see service once
more with his old commander. For
nearly a half century Of the time he
was superintending the pack-traln work
for Uncle Sans armies. DAILY was a
civilian employe of the Quartermssters s
Department, but with the outbreak OF
the present war. he was asked to take
a commission as captain and become a
general instructor in pack-train de
velopment.
