Having nothing else to do but kick acres of glucy ‘Texas soil from their boots, and figuro on crossing lakes and bayous in going from place to Place within and edjacent to camp boundaries, the officers who are in touch wth New York and Waahing- ton talked much of Col, Roosevelt's Offer to raise « personal army, to be officered by erstwhile Progrossly and also of the report from New York that the Colonel, responsible to nobody but himself, is coming down bere to tell the soldiers what he would do in the current crisis, Such @ trip would put the Colonel in shape to claim the creditgfor forcing the Wilson administration's hand should ection come out of the border prepa- ration. e While the enlisted men are con- cerned with questions of food and dry clothing and the percentage of Grease in Texas mud, the warriors who wear marks of rank on their col- lars discuss President Wilson's con- cern over the affairs of the Sixty- ninth Regiment and the impending inquiry into complaints of insuffi- cient rations in the Texas camps and the alleged bad arrangements for nsporting troops from New ¥ork. * MAKING POLITICAL CAPITAL OUT OF MOBILIZATION. ‘The impression grows here in Toxas that the two porties are seeking to use the mobilization of troops on the border as a factor of advantage in the coming election, and that the Mobilization a couple of thousand miles away frora home, of the New York militia, is to be made @ para- mount issue. Despite Major Gen, O'Ryan's state- ment that the enlisted men and offi- cers in the Texas camps are faring as well, from a food standpoint, as could at the camp. The army officers de- clare, and with considerable show of reason, that the Igck of variety in rations and the frequent fall down in the food supply is due to the fact that this territory Is fed by a single track railroad, which is in tho hands of a receiver and equipped with few long side tracks and a minimum of) locomotives. Furthermore, the camps | @re on a stub branch liné which, up! to the time of the invasion of the New York troops, found full exercise for its equipment in moving one pas- senger train and two freight trains each way daily.
