SOLDIERS SINK WELLS

The scarcity of water in Mexico has proved one of the biggest problems for the army men to solve, Soipe of the soldiers at Pershing’s headquarters at Colonia Dublan, Mexico, have sunk a well in the camp. Here most of the drinking water is obtained. The water from this well Is not like the water from the spring wells in the mountains and Is not cold, but It is free from germs and that Is the main essential.
