From 115 in the shade at high noon to 20 above zero after nightfall is the range of temperature which the mem- bers of Companies E and I have been experiencing since arrival at Nogales, according to a letter received here by the parents of Corporal J. L. Wilin- | ger of Company I. The letter was written on July 4, the day after ar- rival from the ecast. The regiment was then encamped on a hill overlook- ing Mexican territory and Corporal Wininger say he writes he can see the Mexic as ! ns in camp. “They out- number us,” he says, “but we should worry. Last night I had a knock- | down to Alkali Ike. That is what they | call the dust storm and this morning after being on guard all night I was covered Nogales is 7,000 feet above sea level that is what makes it =0 hot in the day and so cold at night Continuing, Corporal Wininger say. and ‘We have to drill from daylight to 11 o'clock, but have most of the aft- | ernoon off. Just now I have a snap fand am in charge of a squad of eight | men. We had a hard time getting here. | The Mexicans tried to blow up the | bridge at Kansas City and form Vaughn, Okla., to El Paso, we had | double guards on trains. All the corps have to do on guard is to watch and see that the men don't go to sleep | on post.”” Although the thermometer ranges down to 20 above zero at night. DRILL, DRILL, DRILL | FOR LOGAL SOLDIERS New Britain Boys at Nogales Put Through Strenuous Schooling FIREWORKS ~ CAUSE SCARE| Nogales Citizens Glve Celebration for Soldiers on July 4 and Bombs Give Impression of Sudden Border At~ tack. (Special Correspondence by J. F. Conners.) Nogales, Arizona, July 5.—Sherman was right and the two words are synonymous as far as heat here is con- cerned. Today we got down to active work drilling and belleve me it was the hottest ordeal that any of the hoys in Company I, ar any of the others, ever want to be put through again. Imagine standing out in the blazing sunshine, with the mercury threaten- ing every minute to boil over and burst the top of the thermometer, snd drilling, drilling, drilling. Then we would drill some more! The drill masters seem ta be determined to make soldiers out af us, and if drfl- ling is going to do it I can see where we make the veteran campaigners look like kindergarteners. The ex- cessive heat put a few boys under the weather for awhile, but they all came around all right. The typhoid vac- cinations alsa help to make them feel a little off color but in a few days all will round out in good shape. But there is no cause for complaint and the officers are considerate and be- cause of the heat are not working us as hard as they would otherwise. Long Siege Expected. Camp Holcomb has now assumed all the characteristics of a regular army camp. Strict orders have been istued regarding the sanitation of the camp and each man is instructed ta take extra precautions with keeping his own body clean because of ver- min, No dogs or others pets are per- mitted in camp without permits from the commanding officer and no mili- tary harses are permitted on the camp streets. A number.of stray sur dogs that have infested the camp have been aispatched. Dog Warden John Cof- fey of New Britain, whose son is in Company E, would have been right in his element during the extermination o° these beasts. Every indication is that we are preparing for a long siege of it and the boys now believe that we will be here far a long time. Owing to the excitement, the change of air, water, food, hours, etc., it will go rather hard on the boys for awhile but they are already showing signs of becoming acclimated. One thing that is causing no end of joy among the soldiers is the con- | struction of a shower bath and tub | in camp. Heretofore the men have had to bathe as best they could in im- provised tubs. The cooling shower and ample tub will certainly be as welcome as an oasis in the desert. Fireworks Cause War Scare, In my letter written vyesterday (July 4) I remarked that the fourth was certainly a slow day. It was a slow day, but at night it was far different and we had excitement and then some, though none of it of a serlous nature. The civilians of the town of Nogales, Arizona, contributed funds enough to purchase a goad dis- play of flreworks which were set off for the benefit of the soldiers. In ad- dtiion to having a number of set pieces they had a number of loud bombs and sky rockets. As soon as the bombs began to explode with thunderous detonations and the rock- cts blaze in the air there was a wild scramble along the streets. Soldiers and civillans all scattered for shelter and the same was true in Nogales, Sonora, the Mexican side of the town, The impression at first was that there was a skirmish on. There were severa] hundred American soldiers on the international highway, just across from the Mexican guard, and it was feared that they had been attacked. There is little fear of any American soldier being the aggressor, however, for orders here are very strict. There is also little chance far any American scldier to cross the boundary line for if he is caught by any of his lofficers a sentence of ninety days in the guard house awaits him. And it has been impressed upon the men that this will be enforced ta the letter. Amateur Cyclone Hits Camp. The weather here is the most freak- ish I ever saw. One minute it is hot- ter than Coney Island on a summer’s ¢ay and the next minute one has to double peg the tents to keep some amateur cyclone fram blowing them away. At noon today we had a minia- ture tornado when a small windstorm struck Company L. street. It was a new experience for most of u Cots, trousers, hats, socks, B. V. D.'s, letters and everything else that was not nailed down blew into the air in one grand mess. One man, Private Smith from Willimantic, suffered a double misfortune. Not only his tent home ruined but his cot bed was blown into the air also. In its rapid caurse of flight the cot struck the Williman- tic soldier over the eye, inflicting an ugly gash. It took seven stitches to close the wound. None Britaln boys was injured. Praise B.
