MEXICAN BORDER SERVICE
ATTRACTIVE TO AMERICANS
•_ \
MAREA*. Tox.. June 27— Mexican
border service is attractive to young
Americans who like to ride* shoot and
live in the open. To prove that the lire
of being “riders of the purple sago”
is strong for his men* Colonel George
T. Eanghorne* commanding the Big
Bend district of Texas quotes figures
to show that 487 of his men had re
cently reenlisted since the recruiting
order was issued in an etfort to retain
border veterans in the cavalry service.
During the first month the recruiting
order was in effect 350 men reenlisted
and the total enlistments for a second
or third tour of duty in the Big Be no
are more than 18 per cent of the tot'd
treiigth of the border troops in this
distinct.
On the outpost at Ruidosa* miles
from the nearest habitation* 90 per.
cent of Troop M, Eighth cavalry* re
enlisted. The machine gun troop show
ed the highest percentage with 29 r*v
enlistments. Troop 1 was a close sec
ond with 28 reenlistmcnts. Colonel
Ijanghorne considers' the showing of
his recruiting campaign all the mor«
remarkable from the fact that the dis
trict command has been stationed »n
the Big Bend district* away from a
large city* almost two years. This* he
says* explains the eagerness for reen
listment on the part of the men. The
morale is higher.and the spirit of re
gimental loyalty more intense because
the men are thrown more together in
the wilds, are not distracted from
their military duties by the attract
ions of a large city nearby and come
in closer and more personal contact
with the officers commanding them.
This explains why the men voted al
most as a unit* to remain in the R;g
Bend rather than transfer to Fort
Bliss* Colonel Langhome added.
