India nnimtis. —Fred Van Nuys is home from Llano Grande military camp in Texas, where he spent a week registering voters among the Indiana National Guard members. He said there was no mention of politics on tlie trip, and that he registered Republicans as well as Democrats among the Indiana soldiers who called on him.

He was sent there by the Democratic state committee to register ihe voters on tlie theory that if the troops should be returned to their homes before election (lay they would be qualified to vote.

Everything was done harmoiu©" ’v. “I found among tlie 3.(KK> Indiana soldiers about 800 men under the age of twenty-one. I had no idea the number of minors was so large. “The soldiers are in tine condition. There is very little sickness among them. They have a wonderful camp, the sanitary conditions are excellent and the [dace is as clean as a floor. I wore a soldier’s uniform while I was there, slept in a tent, ate at the soldiers’ mess and lived with them, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the time. “Those men are real soldiers. There are no "tin soldiers” on the border. I saw them at Fort Benjamin Harrison, ■gild tlie difference between them then and now is very marked. They are strong, hard and healthy, ami they work every day. There is no fooling around. We have a real army down there. “Th >re is nothing but army life* at (lie camp. Those men scarcely know the day of the week, and they have no „idea what is going on out in the world, it is work end drill and training with them, itnd no attention is paid to anything else. “The soldiers appear,to be well contented and to be enjoying the training.

You find rattlesnakes, scorpions and centipedes till around, and at night the coyotes sing you to sleep with their yelps at the edge of the camp.' “The Indiana soldiers bombarded me with question about things in Indiana, and they inquired about tna’ny persons. Many of them asked about Billy Blodgett of the Intljanapolis News, who was at tlie camp for ffiany weeks.” Money for Indiana.

Indiana Troops in Lead. Llano Grande, Tex. —The honor of participating in one of the biggest military spectacles witnessed within the t inted States ttt more than tt halt-cen-tury, and with such a distinguished military figure as Maj. Gen. Frederick Funston tis the reviewing officer, fell t > the Indiana troops of infantrymen, artillerymen aud auxiliary organizalions, when they marched at the head of a parade of 10.3G0 seasoned soii diers. The pity of it was that this spectacular parade, the like of which has never been witnessed by Indiana’s 9XI years of statehood, unless in Civil war times, was witnessed by scarcely more than 2(X> persons, who came out from the little town of Mercedes. Such a show in populous Indiana surely would have attracted a crowd that would have set a new record for that state. The small number of persons to witness such tin unusual spectacle served to emphasize the filet that our llooster boys are isolated on the ragged edge of the Text.s border, far from a ;>opulated center. Tite diminutive Major General Funston, who commands the Southern deiWrt’.nenf of the United States army, with his headquarters at tSnn Antonio, came to the Llano Grande camp in company with tlie tall Brig. G *n. James Farffi*r. commatider of the Brownsville military district, after havingmiaije inspections at Brownsville aud San Benito. His approach to the Llano Grande camp, which, by the way. is said to be the biggest camp along the entire border, was heralded by the tiring of a 13-gun salute by Indiana cavalrymen. It had not been planned to have a formal review, but after General Funston. with Generals Barker and Lewis, had ridden in his auto along the long : line of troops as they stood in formation, he expressed a wish*, that they pass in review. General Lewis had only to flash the word. Tlie parade. which required more than one hour in passing, was begun with a smoothness tLrnt won the praise of the three distinguished generals. The Third Imfiana infantry, in command of Col. Aubry L. Kuhlman, had the honor position in the parade because of the seniority of its commander. Then came the Second Indiana and the First Indiana iufanhy followed. Near by came the First. Sec.ond and Third Minnesota infantry and the Fourth and Fifth Nebraska infantry and the First North Dakota infantry. Following the three brigades of infantry came the Indiana artillery battalion, the Minnesota artillery regiment. four troops of lowa cavalry and Oklahoma engineers* corps, Indiana and Nebraska signal corps. Indiana ambulance conqtanies and the Indiana field hospital. Following the.review. General Funston had mess with General Lewis and then rode in an auto on an inspection of the camp. “I was exceedingly gratified by the showing made in the review,” said General Funston.
