Resign From Guard When

Some Little Side Lights on
the Daily Life of Guardsmen
Who Are Fighting Texas
Heat, Rattlesnakes and Oth
er Products of Frontier.
IT Is plainly the Intention of the
war department to maintain the
drill and work regulations of the
national guardsmen, now en
camped on the Mexican frontier, until
the men who are unable to stand the
physical strain are weeded out and
their places tilled by recruits. It is the
object of the Texas camps to transform
the militia Into a body of soldiers rank
ing with the regulars and to ao turn
around the old time rules of conduct
for the militia that the entire militia
establishment of the country, as con
stituted before the call to arms last
month, will be thrown Into the discard.
A11 this Is very well from the stand
point of the professional soldier. The
militiamen who went down to Texas In
Response to an urgent call are not pro
fessional soldiers and have no Idea of
devoting the rest of their lives to mili
tary work. It is a question whether
they can bo Imbued with the regular
service Idea, especially as all danger of
war with Mexico has apparently
passed, according to the news that
comes from Washington.
Without doubt the drills and camp
life are doing the men who can stand
the strain a world of good. They will
go back home made over physically
and also helped mentally. They ought
to appreciate It, but they are stubborn
enough to Imagine that the arduous

training should be imposed on men
who want to fight for a living and not
on men who have jobs at home.
Not all the officers in the militia or
ganizations are satisfied. Many say in
confidence to their friends that as soon
as they get out of the regular service
they are going to resign from the na
tional guard. It looks as though this
camp will impose on congress the task
of upsetting the whole militia program
and forming an entirely new policy of
national defense on land.
Bad Han Subdued.
Military policemen of the Seventy
first New Tork had their first en
counter with a would be western
"bad man,” with discouraging results
to the bad man, who, having yet failed
to reclaim the six-gun the effete east
erners took from him. Is believed to
be slightly less bad than he was.
To make It worse, one of the New
Yorkers bears the mild name of Vas
sar. Vassar and Pooling were on
fluty In the Mexican quarter of Mc
Allen when a ferociously armed and
caparisoned cowboy entered the larg
est Baloon and announced that he was
going to shoot up the place.
At this Juncture the two soft spoken
Manhattanites entered. A few sec
onds later Pooling was in possession
of the Texan’s artillery, and the Texan
was riding through the door on the toe
of Vassar*s boot.
Horses For Pennsylvanians.
The distribution of mounts to the
troops of the Seventh division, nation
al guards of the United States from
Pennsylvania, has begun. Major Gen
eral George M. Clement, commander
of the division, with several aids and
a number of regular army officers,
made the first selection at the remount
stntion for use of division staff.
The division commander took a beau
tiful animal, sixteen and a half hands
high, a sleek bay, long of wind and
with muscles of steel and of sufficient
weight to bear hard service. Several
of the division staff officers tried out
their mounts recently, but a num
ber of others, including the command
er himself, are giving the horses a
chance to rest up.
The animals arrived In cars from the
east the quartermaster's count total
lng approximately 2,000. It la said 63,
000 horses and mules have already
been purchase*] by the .car depart
ment for the troops; 35,000 nre horses.
Not only Pennsylvania militiamen, but
state troops from Massachusetts and
Rhode Island, also the regulars, nre
to be mounted from the new supply.
Southern Hospitality.
One letter from an Illinois man says;
“We stopped at Marshall, Tex., and
remained two hours. A freight ahead
had been wrecked. 1 met a very won
derful young lady who was chaperon
ing a bunch of southern and congenial
beauties. Never more criticise the
southern hospitality. In other places
the populace grafts off the soldier lads.
In Texas they offer native fruits, sim
ple gifts and much real courtesy. They
have autos a-plenty, Bnd they took us
riding. The young lady chaperon per
mitted me to assist In chaperoning In a
motorcar. She spoke kindly to me.
She smiled and even laughed aloud at

my lame witticisms. And when she
spoke In the caressing tones and soft
enunciation of the southland—well, I
could sit for hours under the spell. I,
too, used to feel supercilious about this
southern stuff—but that was before I
bad found the real south. I now enroll
as a defender.
‘‘So far ’tls the life. But none of us
has been paid, and we are all In a
mood to curse those who yanked us
hence and permitted us to travel
through the Interesting state of Texas
practically moneyless when we have a
considerable wad already overdue. Fire
a fling at Washington and make them
come through ere we mutiny and curse
the politicians."
Men Learn to Shoot.
Rapid Are, advance and retreat, all
that goes with skirmish order and the
keeping In hand of Massachusetts men
so as to bring about as nearly as pos
sible perfect fire control, has been prac
ticed and hammered In day after day—
In fact, frequently twice daily at Camp
Pershing, El Paso,
At the same time all day there Is a
constant crack, crack on the rifle range,
where Lieutenant Stewart Wise, a
Massachusetts officer, who holds world
records and is now assigned to the
squadron as inspector of small nrni9
practice, has already bad some remark
able results jn teaching the newer men
to shoot and improving the marksman
ship of the older men.
The lieutenant estimates the range.
Instructs those who don't know how to
set their sights, tosses up a handful of
dirt, watches exactly bow It blows and
says when to set the wind gauge. Then
he follows results with his field glasses
making needed corrections.
