Eel Paso, Tex, Dec. 25.-Fires burn

mountains to the southwest of JuareZ
in commemoration of the birth of
Christ. These fires were built by the
devout Indians who worship at the old
church of our Lady of Guadalupe
here. They climbed the barren sides
of the mountains which overshadow
the town, driving their little burros
ahead of them with firewood loaded
on their backs. At nightfall the fires
were kindled and tended throughout
the night by the Indians. These fires
may be seen from all parts of the
Juarez valley and from Ell Paso, OBJ
posite here on the American side of
the border. They have been burning
each Christmas eve for more than a
century, according to the records in
the padres home in the mission
church garden.
Dame Cressmas' is the cry which
greeted Eel Pasoans today. To the
hundreds of little Mexican boys and
girls who live in novels on the south
side, Christmas is the day when they
may beg without restriction or fear of
the police. The little Mexican children
are going from house TO house, har-
vesting large crop of toys, fruits, and
candies and clothing fro mthe abund-

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The latest

Springfield, Mass.
High Army officials, including AS

General Biddle. acting chief of staff
and a score of officers from the
British, French, Italian and Belgian
missions watched the demonstration
with keen interest.
There was no target practice, al
though a line of figures shaped like
men was battered to pieces by the
squad of ten gunners. Members of
Congress also scored repeated hits.
although it was the first time any of
them had handled a weapon of this
character.
As to the performance of the ten
guns used, there was not a stoppage
or malfunction. despite the fact that
hundreds of rounds were fired and
the squad from the school had never
seen the guns before last Saturday.
The demonstration was ordered to
make it clear to members of Con-

CAMP HANCOCK
Harrisburg Boy Pleased With
Life in Machine Gun
Company

A letter from William II. Jones,
formerly a member of the Governors
Troop, and now at Camp Hancock in
the Machine Gun Battalion, is like a
spring in the desert. If all American
soldiers have the sunny temperament
and loyal enthusiasm of Bugler Jones,
there need be no fear of the Yanks
stopping until they reach Berlin. The
missive is sent to Mr.. Sourbier, penned
on bright Southern morning when
Jones sighs for his old troop horse
to take a ride. But horses are nearly
out of commission now; the company
is soon to be motorized. Jones is at
tached to Division Headquarters, n
very comfortable berth. Speaking
about the great parade in Augusta
on Washington's Birthday, he says:
II was battalion bugler and rode up
with the major. Some class, eh? L
had good time and enjoyed myself
very much. Wish you could have seen
this parade, for the fellows looked
great.
I'VE marched down Main street.
with the band playing Good by.
Broadway, and it sure put the spirit
in us all. The band then played
Dixie" a number of times. and that
made the Southern people smile from
ear to ear.
II am in a tent with bunch of
jolly fellows, three beside myself,
from the old Governors Troop. The
men from the old troop in this COM
pdHy are. SergeantS shade ana h1rk-
patrick; Corporals Ogelsby, Willis and
Zfegler; Cooks Smith and Lower; Bug
lers Burlington and Jones; PrivateS
Davis and Dwyer. Nearly every chap
in our tent has a sling-shot and after
we put the lights out in the night we
shoot hunks OF soap at each other. We
have lots of fun.
Last Sunday one of the cooks and
took a long horseback ride in
to South Carolina, along the Savan-
n n NJ 60 faN l.
and stayed for dinner and did not get
back until $3.50. We certainly enjoy
ed that ride; had a dandy conversa-
tion with the farmer about the South
and the negro.
I'VE are living fine; get the best of
eats, and IL every one is served like
us there is no cause for complaint. OF
course, we are all anxious to get to
France and help teach Germany Il

of course, l do not believe anything
till I see it. That is the best way in
the Army.
Machine guns are. very interesting.
Our company was out to the range
last week for target practice and
think we made a good showing.
THE weather is ideal, just like
summer. l think it will be very hot
later on, but we are all hoping to be
in France by that time. 1t will be six
