A Mexican soldier is not the most pleas- ing spectacle in the world. He wears a massive sombrero, any old kind of a shirt and sometimes a regular pair of trousers. Otherwise he wears any cid jeens he can push his feet through. Sometimes he wears a pair of leggins, but generally they are stolen. This, at least, is the kind of Greasers doing border duty and they are all we have een thus far. Some of the more classy soldlers have white coats and blue pants, looking more like a bar- ber or a bell hop than a military man.

Lieutenant Curtis Sheldon of the Signal Corps, who at home counts the greenbacks as they pour into the New Britain National bank, and Mor- ris Pease of Troop B, paid their re- spects to the boys yesterday. Their respective companies are fully two miles to the west of rendezvous. our y 12.—Most of the boys are all feeling in first class condition again today. The dreaded period following the typhoid inocula- tion has passed and the boys are themselves again. All of the boy showed their old time “pep” and in celebration thereof were given a full day of drilling and calisthentics. The daily program consists of three forty- five minute periods of calisthenics, hikes, drills and practises. Led by Lieutenant Griffin we had a good lit- tle hike through the hills again this morning. The entire battalion as- | sembled at 2 o'clock this afternoon for another half hour hike and when out from camp a mile or so, another one of these tropical storms broke. They got the double quick order and had to come racing back into camp the entire distance, facing the driving rain. They all looked like the pro- verbial drowned rats when they blew in.
