FORMER i58TH MEN . ATTENDING SCHOOL
 AT CAMP BENVING

Llouf. HTank La tNues NtdCu- er-instructor of normal and high school cadets and now in the regular army, has written Adjutant General Ingalls, from the infantry school at Camp Ben hing giving word of other members of the 15Sth stationed with him.
 Lieutenant La Rue also gives val uable tips in his letter to the men who are going from Phoenix to the school. It will be recalled that La Rue. who held a captains commission. resigned and accepted a position of lieutenant in order to get back into the army. His letter to his former chief follows:
 INFANTRY SCHOOL
 Camp Benning, Georgia
 January 1s,1s21. Col. W. S. Ingalls,.
 State House, Phoenix, Ariz My dear Colonel:
 Your most welcome letter of the 18th instant received this pm. and. being the same old prompt soldier CD I'm answering ir at once.
 There has been a slight change in my status since my last letter, having been transferred to school supply of flee for du.y.
 Capt. M. c. Browne, of border fame, is the school supply officer and it was through him that managed to get the transfer.
 Aln waruoclS was just in and he sends his best to you and the rest of the outfit. He is in the company com mander's class and from all I can learn is doing very well.
 Chauncey Lyons is in the basic class and is also doing well. He asks about you most every time we meet, but of course I haven't been able to give him any dope.
 The four of us, Browne, Warnock Lyons and myself are the only ones from the 158th that are here. Lieuten- ant Hollingsworth. formerly of the 160th or 159th. is also here, but I sell dom see him.
 win be very glad to sec any of the officers from your outfits and I as- sure you I will be at their service as much of the time as I have to spare I will be unable to help them on tho supply end. but I may be able to give them a few hints on the school tha will help them some.
 expect to take the course next year and in the meantime 1 am putting al of my spare time in with the classes or on my books.
 The machine gun and topography are two good subjects for your men tt bone up on, but | think the machin'
 
 Get a few Browning bandbooks, thu kind that will cover everything includ ing fire problems, and let your off cers pass a few tests in the simpler things. Don't let them get mixed up il machine gun mathematics, as the sys tenn they use here is so simple tha any John with the least bit of educa tion can get It.
 Another good book to dig into woulC be musketry bulletins, American ex peditionary force, 1919. Don't ask then to memorize the tables that are givei in them, but let them have q genera knowledge of what is in the book; th' more they know the better the grad' they will receive when they leave thu school
 Another thing: Many of the officeri of the National Guard class now at thu school will be very surprised when they learn that some of the low grade they receive could have been helpe, if they had put in little of their tim on books instead of arguing with tn instructor. Their language while al class is also noted. (They are hare boiled eggs and do a lot of cussing)
 Give my regards to all the buncl and be sure to call Fred and Dr. Sweel and tell them hello for me.
 Captain Browne also sends his bes and like myself he wishes to be re membered to Mrs. Ingalls,.
 As ever yours,
 Box sos FRANK LA RUE.
 r. S.: Please answer as soon as con venient and let me know more abol the office force Do you ever hear froi Bmith7 Give him my best
