BREAKING MUSTANGS
PART OF TROOP LIFE

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.

has not overdone the job. They Bay
it s the cam-shaft of the division —the
Eighth. Which means that it's a very
vital part of the machine.
"Blessed is the Eighth In its colonel.
They'll canonize that man some day—
if they're canonizing men who chew
the ends of their cigars and say
'damn' when damn's the word. For
her® is Colonel Maurice E. Finney's
strength:
" 'l've got one thousand and seven
men. Every man has two cotton serv
ice uniforms. Each man has three
olive drab shirts of wool. Each three
pairs of shoes, three suits of under
wear. a woolen olive drab blouse, two
pairs of woolen olive drab breeches,
half a dozen pairs of socks, three good
meals every day, the new pyramidal
tents. And every tent is floored and
every tent has an airtight, wood-burn
ing stove.'
"And there, in very practical
images, one has the story cf content
ment of the Eighth, and some sugges
tion of the character of this man who,
if he Is not santly, Is at least pater
nal.
" 'And he come from Harrisburg, tit
that," eald lieutenant Colonel Kemp
er, his chief aid. Kemper's a Untted
States Army officer and was on duty
with the guardsmen, as inspector In
structor, two years before they were
called out of the State. 'The regi
ment spent something like S3OO on
stoves to keep the men cozy," he went
on. 'That came out of the regiment
fund.'

of that command, who is homo on a
30-day furlough.
"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. Lately there have been no
hikes and no maneuvers and with
noth butthe usual drills, the boys have
reached their limit In efficiency. 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.
"Our camp ground is ideal and the
Pennsylvania troops are stretched out
for two miles. Large tents have been
issued and stoves were set up In
preparation for an indefinite stay."
Captain Jack in speaking of the re

started in the Infantry camps. None

boys have repeatedly spoken their de
sire to return home.
