come out with one shoe off or
one logging on in order not to
miss answer to his name. 1T he
is late without a good reason he is
most likely to get few hours on
the woodpile.
After this call comes mess and
most likely all are in line to re-
ceive the grub" that Uncle Sam
provides for US. For breakfast we
are served stewed tomatoes, cof-
fee (gel. ally strong) sugar for
the coffee, rolled oats and milk,
bread and hard tack; for dinner
and supper, beef steak, potatoes,
beans, vegetable soup, tea, some
times fish and often biscuits.
Drilled on horseback
After breakfast we have as
sembly for drill when every man
who is not on urgent detail must
go on drill, and drilling is pretty
sight to gaze on; 1000 horses and
soldiers marching in columns of
fours with bright and cleaning
sabers. After reaching the drill
grounds we are supplied with
stands, some 512 feet high with a
stuffed ball on top of them. We
are each given a turn at them
around the right first at a trot
and then into a gallop, making
thrusts and cuts at them and a
person must be careful or he may
be thrown from his horse. This
drill is executed every morning
for one hour, when recall is
sounded and we journey back to
the camp, then we must groom,
water and feed our horses.
BY the way, our horses are SO
trained that by command to
lie down nearly every one of
them does so, and at the COM
mand to rise they do so. 1t is
quite a funny sight to see the
whole troop of horses lying on
the ground at the command OF
our captain.
We water our horses at lake
nearby and the horses and riders
sometimes swim out quite a dis
tance.
Between Three Lakes
We are camped between three
lakes and they make fine bathing
places. There are thirteen lakes
around here, averaging from one
half mile to eight miles in cir
cumference and full of alligators
trout, turtles and black bass. One
of the boys from B Troop shot an
alligator this morning which
measured between eight and nine
feet, and it was considered q
small one.
The boys have to do their own
laundering and it is a common
sight to see couple of troopers
with tub and washboard going to
one of the lakes and are liable to
come back with sore fingers
caused by coming in contact with
the washboard.
After we get through with oul
horses it is about $50 a. m. anc
we have from then till 4 o. m. t.
ourselves, which is generally
spent in bathing, playing ball
pitching horseshoes, or go ur
town or over to the regulars
camps. If one of us are over there
when meals are being served we
must eat with them, as they are
very sociable.

 48fh Birthday

SEATTLE, May 26.-Ri-The far flung Alaska Communications Sys- tenn observed its 48th anniversary today.
 Born with $450,000 Congression- al appropriation in 1900, the service has expanded until it provides long distance telephone service and tele- graph facilities between the farthest corner of the United States and key points in the Northern Territory
 Col. T. J. Fully, ACS chief. said in connection with the birthday" that the comparatively recent in auguration of these services marks continuation of almost half a cen- tury of persistent effort by the U. s. Army Signal Corps Its goal was to develop adequate communications to and in Alaska for military, govern ment, commercial and public use,
 The ACS, under direction of the Chief Signal Officer, is now operat- ing network consisting of a main station at Seattle and 36 stations in Alaska. They vary in size from the 120-man Anchorage station to such small and remote ones as the two- man setup at Point Barrow, north ernmost tip of North America.
 The ACS says it's records show that for the past two years it's serv- ices were used almost equally by military and military traffic.

Alaska Roads Hurt Defense,
 Army Report,

WASHINGTON, May 26.--lR- Army Secretary Royall of the Army says that limited capacity of the Alaska Railroad and defic- iencies in the present road system in the Territory "jeopardize the mission of. national defense"
 He so wrote Secretary Krug of the Interior Department last fall His letter, made public today, was placed before the House ApproprIa- tions Subcommittee on Interior Department funds during a hearing on the Departments appropriation bill.
 Royall urged that improvements be made on the Alaska Highway. the Haines Cutoff, the Richard son Highway, the Glenn Highway and the Tok Cutoff.
 Extensions of the present roads, if constructed, he said. should be so routed as to connect military installations.
 Royal said that as part of the Alaska Highway and of the Haines Cutoff are in Canada improve merits of these sections should be accompanied by area control of the region traversed by the roads. He said the roads are considered essential to the utilization of a road system as a whole.

MAY CLOSE PINK SALMON FISHING IN SOUTHEAST ALASKA
Disclosure Is Made by Fish and WiIdlife Service
 Through A. M. Day

WASHINGTON, May 26.-LRl-- The Fish and Wildlife Service was disclosed today to have given con- sideration to closing completely large portions of the pink salmon fishing areas in Southeast Alaska next year
 Albert M. Day, director of the Service, so testified before the House Subcommittee on Interior Department appropriations. He said in testimony made public to- day the move was considered in hope of rehabilitating the pink salmon runs.
 Alaska salmon, particularly the pinks, are in bad shape" he testi- fled. "The runs have been dowr the past several years and the prospects for the next two years are not at all encouraging. The situation, in fact, is so serious that consideration has been given to complete closure of large DOT tions of the pink salmon fishing territory in Southeast Alaska next year in hope of rehabilitating the runs.
 We feel a great deal of the trouble is due to everlasting. In- dustry itself has urged increased efforts toward enforcement in or der that the maximum protection may be given this important fish cry
 Day told the committee the amounts asked for fishery pro- lection in Alaska falls far short of the needs, He said British Columbia spends more to protect it's fisheries than the United States does to protect Alaskan fisheries He said Washington State with only 1000 miles of shoreline com pared to Alaska's 10000 miles spend $6240O0 annually to protect it's fisheries compared to $619,00C spent in Alaska by the Federal Government. Oregon, he said, with one twenty third as much shore line to patrol, spends more than half as much as the Government does in Alaska.
 Day said the Service has had many reports of increased hunting pressure on Alaskan wildlike which is decreasing the game.
 Game in Alaska is in des- perate situation,' he testified.

 Approximately 75 families near St. Maries, Idaho, were driven from their homes when the St. Joe River gouged a hole 150 feet wide in the barrier protecting lowland It was the third break there
 A 220-man detachment of Army Engineers from Fort Lewis, Wash, worked with the residents of the Bonners Ferry area to keep the flood out of the town.
 Near Vancouver, Wash, this morning, the driver of truck and trailer was killed when a crumb- ling road dropped his vehicle into 26 feet of water in the Colum- bia River. He was the floods fifth victim in that general region.
 The driver, Roger viramontes. 33, Portland, went to his death only a few hours after Joe Wilson, ST, Linnton, drowned in the rowboat in which he was trying to reach his houseboat.

ARABS WON'T CEASE FIRING IN HOLY LAND
Fifth Effort fo Stop Fight ing in Palestine An-
 nounCed as Failure
(By The Associated Press)


 The United Nations fifth effort to stop the fighting in Palestine collapsed today.
 Arabs said they could accept a cease fire order only if the Jewish Army Haganah receives no more arms, if recognition of Israel is aban- doned and if Jewish immigration is limited.
 A spokesman for the new Jewish State promptly said the conditions could not be accepted.
 A dispatch from Jerusalem said the heaviest fighting in Palestine was at Latrun, key communication post on the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway, 20 miles southeast of Tel Aviv.
 The bombardment of Jerusalem with artillery and mortars con- tinued. Siege lines in the old city remained about the same.
 A big power spokesman at Lake Success said a demand may be made for worldwide diplomatic byeak with Arab countries. France was re- ported as anxious for strong action, as were the United States and Rus sia. Britain, linked to many Arab nations by treaty, was absent from that camp.
 A bill was introduced in Congress for lend-lease military aid program of $100,000,000 to the Jewish State.
