Field Artillery Hikes. , Camp Wilson, Tex.--The First Illi­ nois field artillery, with a rumbling of caissons, a rattle of gun carriages and a thunder of steel-shod hoofs, will "take the field" in a series of overnight hikes and expeditionary movements. Battery C will be^the first to show its paces and prove its eflUclency under actual field conditions, and the organi­ sation will leave on a hike which, tor excitement and interesting variety, promises to outshine the recent forced marches of Illinois infantry. Battery D will depart the next day over a new and dusty trail, and the same day Battery C will raise the dust Into Camp Wilson. Each day there­ after a battery will take the field, and every night one field artillery unit will be slumbering in pup tents, its park* of field guns heavily guarded, miles from the home base. *??%!

This order Vasjrecelved with much en­ thusiasm, as ft offers the first diver- ?lon the men have had from the drudg­ ery of the present routing of dltch- digging and hikes for hardening pur- j*a»es. This order, coming on . top of the Announcement that the batteries of the First Illinois artillery were all to be put upon a peace footing at once, has led to a great deal of specula­ tion as to just what the authorities intend to do with the regiment after the men have been trained in firing.

The men were stilt discussing and laughing over the call to arms sound­ ed the other day, for the first time in this country, it is said, since the Span­ ish-American War. The troopers turned out In every conceivable COB- tuine, but In five minutes they had gathered in the perfect formation pre­ scribed for the defense of a camp against attack. Some of the men had on pajamas, others were only half clothed, and some had on nothing but gum boots, their cartridge belts and rifles, but all were ready. To an onlooker the sight they presented offered many opportu­ nities for laughs, hut at the same time the efficiency displayed in carrying oat the surprise orders was a glowing tribute. ",vst t 1 •U '*V> j i i<r%j No Water Famine Danger. K Leon Springs, Tex.--Fears of a wa­ ter famine spread through the First .Illinois brigade the other day. That *llfe-saver" of soldiers in hot Texas, the shower bath gave forth no cooling fprays and a scarcity of drinking wa­ ter. caused dismay among the troops. Then re-enforcements came to the res­ cue--75,000 gallons strong. The puls- log of huge pumps proved more cheer­ ing than the rataplan of drums and In the shower baths cheers resounded as water dashed upon the perspiring iHicks of bathers who had about given np hope. The "'water famine" was only of one four's duration, but the apprehension It caused illustrated the Importance of In ample supply of aqua pura for the vomfort of the troops. The Installs tion of powerful new pumps, with a driving force of 10,000 gallons an hour, necessitated the temporary interrup­ tion of the water flow. Warning as to Water. A w-avning against drinking untested water at random has been Issued by Major Blayney. He informed the men that even though they are inoculated against the germs as thoroughly as medical science will permit, they should Use judgment in quaffing water and filling their canteens from un­ known wells and faucets. However, both here and at Camp Wilson the wa­ ter Is excellent, and the warning ap­ plies only to wells In civil zones. Second Infantry Typhoid Proof.

The series of inoculations, extending over a period of 20 days for each man, have been completed with few excep­ tions. Inoculation of the other regi­ ments will be finished in a few days. Surgeons of the three regiments at­ tribute the Improved health and spir­ its of the men here largely to the cooler weather which prevails in the zone 25 miles away from the swelter­ ing dty of San Antonio. Removal of the soldiers from the Immoral influ­ ences of the large segregated district tolerated by the city Is also declared a boon by many officers. 'Troops Aid Red Cross.
