ed that, emphasis will be first laid
upon work among the state troops, be-
cause they have just been picked from

Association can give, more than the
regulars need such leadership.
In case of war, troops would be sent
across the line and shift positions so
continuously that the Y. M. C. A. work
would have to be conducted through
small branches in the field. Without
war, but with thousands of troops sta-
tioned along the border for an indefi-
nite period, most of them in large gar-
risons or camps, and subject to emer-
gency or patrol duty, conditions will
exist calling for the utmost efforts on
the part of the army Y. M. C. A.
branches.
Officers of the war department,
from the secretary of war and the
members of tTie general staff down,
recognize the danger of breakdown in
the moral and social ideas of the men
in their new environment and they
are not only welcoming the Associa-
tion work but urging that it be estab-
lished wherever possible and offering
co-operation to the fullest extent un-
der military rules and regulations.
Every step that has been taken has
been after consultation with the high-
er officers of the war department and
the army, and all plans for work at
the camps are put into execution af-
ter consultation with the commanders
in the field, who are offering every
possible assistance and co-operation.
George A. Reeder, secretary of the
army and navy department of the
Young Men’s Christian Association,
who is in charge of the work on the
Mexican border, has had interviews
with Secretary Baker, General Scott,
the chief of staff, and other officers in
Washington. All expressed themselves
as extremely anxious that the Associ-
ation work should promptly be gotten
nnder way. These officials dwelt on

Down in the Big Bend country, that
great area which lies south of the
Southern Pacific and north of the Rio
Grande, there are several outposts not
less than sixty miles from the railroad.
The only communication with the men
is by motor truck and at these points
the men feel most keenly the solitude.
Malls are most infrequent. The men
ride long patrols at night. They are
in constant danger of being fired upon
by snipers and always they must be
under the strain of watching for raid-
ers. It Is planned that the railroad

is guarded by detachments of different

The hardships of this life in the open,
without the accommodations even of
a well-ordered camp, are very great.

ent trip of inspection, rasked a soldier
