WILL RETURN TO TEXAS SOON

Captain Tuteur Will Rejoin His • Company on the Border. Captain Herman B. Tuteur, who is home for a twenty-day furlough, will return to the Mexican border within the next ten days, probably leaving here some time Monday, November 6, and going via New Orleans to Llano Grande. ■Captain Tuteur has some very interesting accounts to tell concerning the soldiers life on the border and conditions as they actually are. Several men have been discharged from Company M, and at the present time but fifty-four remain. The men are all in good health and sickness is a stranger in the camp. Cleanliness is a watchword with Uncle Sam’s boys, and sanitary conditions are the very best to be found anywhere. Captain Tuteur is very enthusiastic in his declaration in favor of some form of citizen training for military service, and believes this method one of the best assurances of peace, and at the same time the most economical. The men as a unit are quite contented and realize the necessity of their presence on the border, and it is the general opinion that more drastic measures have been averted by prompt and decisive action. It is the captain’s belief that the soldiers will remain on the border until next spring, when it is quite likely they will be mustered out.
