BOYS ARE UNCOMFORTABLE 
WarteR N. SmitH, MANCHESTER 
Boy, Writes THat Border 
CLIMATE Is OPPRESSIVE. 
The first word from the Manches- 
ter boys with the National Guard oa 
the Mexican border is contained in 
a letter received from Walter N., 
Smith, son of Mrs. Anna Smith of 
Pleasant st., Manchester, who is 1m 
Co. H of the 8th Regiment. That 
the boys are not finding their expe- 
dition a mere pleasure jaunt is gatli- 
ered from the following extract froia 
Mr. Smith’s letter: 
“Tt was a great trip down here, 
but it will be a much better one home. 
The air down here is hot, stifling 
and dry. One feels as if he were 
going to dry up. I feel it most :n 
my mouth. My lips are all parched 
and my mouth feels as if it was full 
of glue. Most of the fellows have 
a nose bleed every once in a whil2. 
It is a common thing to see a fellow 
prostrated with the heat. One must- 
aan in our company dropped yester: 
day at inspection. It is terrible to 
stand at attention in this heat. The 
iongest drill we have had was vite — 
anda half hours. We will have more 
zs we get used to the climate. 
“T wish you could see this place. 
Our camp is situated on a—well, I 
should call it a desert—but it is really 
an alkali plain. We are within 509 
yards of the border and at times we 
can see the Mexican sentries on their 
side of the berder. Yesterday after- 
noon we had an awful sandstorm. I 
was on guard duty at the time and | 
never experienced anything like it be- 
fore. It lasted about half an hour. 
Everything is shut from your view 
like a heavy snowstorm. All you 
can do is cover your face until tt 
passes. There are also a lot of small 
cyclones here. It is all interesting 
until one stops to think that he 1s 
surrounded by Mexican territory and 
a battery of machine guns are on 
every elevation (that is, on all sides 
except the north). 
“How I long for a swim. I have 
had only one since I left home, and 
that was in a mud hole beside the 
track in Indiana. Over in the Regu- — 
lar Army camp, across the railroad 
track, there is a set of shower baths. 
But there are so many who want them 
at the same time one has to fight to 
get one. Weare restricted very much 
and cannot leave the camp without 
special permission from the captain, 
but expect to have more privileges 
soon.
