BREAKING MUSTANGS PART OF TROOP LIFE [Continued From First Page.] he prefers them in the raw state. And it from the sore, but satisfied cavalryman who is now riding about ; camp on his newy-brokeln steed. Uncle ;Sam gets 'em RAW! ! Troop C's horses are in charge of a I crew composed of Sergeant W. X Wyble, Saddler X. W. Mover. Horse shoers F. E. Weber and W. G. Cun ningham, and Orderlies W. H Peters and C. M. Peters. W. H. Peters, by the way, is one of the two sons of Assistant City En gineer Joseph Peters, doing duty on the border. In a recent letter home he sent a lot of photographs showing how the nearly wild horses of the plains are converted into mounts for I the troopers. To turn a kicking, bucking, squeal ! lng, vengeful bronco fresh from the I corral, into a more or less meek and . horse for a trooper, is a Job that Uncle Sam puts up to trained I cowboys. After a mustang has learned that a plentiful display of teeth, shrieks of I rage, a jack rabbit motion with every muscle in action at once, are useless , 30 far as efforts to unseat a man is ] concerned—then he tames down quite i decently. Thus a new "hoss" Is available for i the cavalryman. Infantrymen Busy An Interesting account of camp j life in the Eighth Regime..* Pennsyl i vania Infantry from Camp Stewart. El . Paso.

"The men are tiring of the mon otony of camp life and as they have had no active work except drilling: hikes and maneuvers it is getting Irk some.

Ever since July 11 when we arrived we have not changed our camp site, and after cleaning out the cactus, rattlers, tarantulas, scorpions and prairie dogs and getting settled, little happened. Sand storms almost daily furnish additional work and the boys always have to clean out their tents after the storm passes.

Captain Jack in speaking of the re cent "I want to go home" demonstra tions said that he knew little about them and that he had heard that they started in the Infantry camps.
