Informal agreements wore made with land owners for the securing of a camp site, and after the camp had been finally located here the leases were closed through this committee. The city administration has worked In every possible way looking to the benefit of Camp Logan, and In conjunction with the county, the city street department has pledged itself to construct new road and repair the old ones leading to the camp. The water department of the city has drilled a well to supply the soldiers with water, and has contracted for the laying of a 12-inch water main to the boundaries of the camp.

The utility corporations of Houston have also begun operations to place every convenience st the camp for the soldiers. The street car tracks out Washington avenue are to be extended to the camp, and work is now In progress on the electric wires which will furnish the camp with light. The Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone company began operations early in tl week to furnish the camp with telephone facilities, and connections have already been made with the buildings that are complete. A private branch exchange is to be installed as soon as it will be needed. The Western Union was the first of the telegraph companies to Install Its service at the camp.

An office with two operators wa opened there Friday afternoon and the camp force and equipment will bo Increased to whatever extent may be found necessary after the troops arrive here.

Occasional pine trees dot the site. When the men came Saturday morning there was a growth of tall grass on the lot. They made hay while the sun shone, and when a heavy shower of rain broke they had the gras cut, squad tents up for the men.

MEN FOR REGIMENTS. CAREFULLY PICKED.

Officers of the battalion confirmed Major Trumbull's statements concerning the personnel of negro regiments. They said that up to five years ago it was the custom to take in practically none but honorably discharged men who applied for re-enlistment. Then, In 1912, the Twenty-fourth went to the Philippine Is lands and the Twenty-fifth, the other negro infantry regiment, wnt to Hawaii lor duty, and the ranks were filled up to war strength by enlisting new men. Th te were far more applicants than there wre; places, and the recruiting officers picked I lie men curefully. The Twenty-fourth came back from the' Philippines in the autumn of 1915.

Whi-n IVrslilng went into Mexico it was a negiu cainlry regiment that preeedid liim. it wnl be remembered. The Tenth caiiie uui of the campaign with several Hole biivc- battlerings round the staff or the regimental color, several bullet hulfb through it. and much honor wreatli- ir.ff il The Twenty-fourth, Including the bat' lahon that is now in Houston, went in as part of the supporting troop of the Pershing column. They got as far south as El Valle, and detachment sent oat on scout and outpost duty went as far down aa Namiqulpa.

They were never allowed to get what they wanted action. 1 he chief memory officers and men brought back from, that campaign ot waiting on the high arid plateau of Chihuahua is of loneliness and boredom, far from civilisation, and, during the winter months, of bitter cold nights and worse boredom and loneliness. MOVING PICTURES FURNISHED AMUSEMENT. The Twenty-fourth, like other regiments, supplied It own amusements. A moving picture screen waa set up right out in the all outdoor and a projection machine, supplied with current by a gasoline-driven generator, put the pranks of Charlie Chaplin on the screen and smiles on the men's face just as well aa though they were safely seated In a darkened auditorium cooled by a patent ventilating system.

Cooler, In fact, quite too cool for comfort on winter night. Bundled up In all the clothes, sweaters, overcoats, ear muffs and mittens they owned, the men would tram over to the "theater" at movie hourr-carrylng each an empty soap box or canned goods case, and sit shivering and applauding by turn. Another diversion In Mexico was boxing. There are no wrestlers In the battalion here who are any great shakes, but there are some boys who are more than handy with the gloves. The battalion boasts of having Rufua Williams, middleweight champion of the Pershing expedition.

Rufue fights at 152 pounSs. Then there Is K. E. Fields, a lightweight, US pounds, who is a clever boxer, and several other who have arrived and many who aspire. With the permission of the commanding officer and the county authorities, the boy are going to put on a few mill that they promise will lift 'em off their chairs.

Nothing rough, of oours just boxing exhlbltona. BATTALION LEFT NEW MEXIOO TUESDAY. The Twenty-fourth marched over tha boundary, withdrawing from Mexico on February and thia battalion went Into camp at Columbus, where it stayed until last Thursday morning at o'clock, when It rolled out for Houston. It arrived at o'clock Saturday morning. The officers can say nothing definite about their stay here, but it is surmised that it will be about six or seven weeks.

And then, thsy say sirnlflcantly. whole regiment la going East. How far East they will go you may figure for yourself; the battalion here ha (la winter equipment with It, even to tha conical stoves that warm the tents. Only one thing the battalion has to mourn. It lost about SO of It seasoned noncommissioned officers.

Its very backbone, to the negro officers' training camp at Fort Do Moines. Some companies of the regiment sent every sergeant to the camp to learn to be officer to command tha negro regiments that will be raised under tha draft. A few corporal went, too. and, in general men of superior education. In all.

He received a message Saturday stating that Second Lieutenant H. E. Wilson, finance denartment of tha quartermaster corps, has been ordered to report to him here.

The message did not state where he is stationed now. The extent of the work in progress at Camp Logan and the interest which la taken In It by Houston citizens Is evl- denced by the traffic to and from the camp on Washington avenue. Vehicle heavily loaded and cars carrying sight-seers continually pass back and forth 1 over the avenue, and each day the camp changes in physical appearance, and something new is finished to excite tho curiosity and Interest of the camp visitors.

While Mr. Vann was at Harrisburg tlie central committee held a meeting at the headquarters, while a delegation of north side citizens conferred reference to the campaign in that part of the city. Upon his return from Harrisburg the candidate addressed the gathering from the north side and later consulted with the central committee. One of the voters present called the north side citizens' attention to tha Irregular lines of the north city limit in relation to the location of undeveloped acreage In that locality. This was quite a surprise to several, aa the matter had escaped their attention.

It was unanimously agreed to attend the Vann rally Monday night, July 30. at Hennessy park, when the municipal band will entertain before the meeting It was decided to also have a Vann rallv at Liberty and Gregg streets on the same night.

It has been a long time since most of the men have seen real grass, regular trees, and almost unbearably long since they have immersed their faces in watermelon and green corn. Lovers of the latter two and this includes every Southerner wlU understand why the boys under the blue hat-cord are so glad to get to Houston.

The battalion expects to remain here at least six or seven weeks, and every man of the -command, from the youngast A private to the sergeant major, feels that ft will be just seven weeks of heaven, after the freezing deserts of Mexico and the scorching sands of New Mexico. At least that is what soma of them told Major W. A. Trumbull, camp quartermaster for Camp Logan, who visited the camp of the battalion Saturday and talked with Many of the men. NEGRO RCaiMKNTS ARK REMARKABLE.

Officers of the battalion her (who are, of course, white officers), are naturally not given to paying tributes to their own organization for publication, but Major Trumbull Is not bound by any such limitations, being an officer from the quartermaster corps and in no way connected with the Twenty-fourth. "In ordinary times there are only four negro regiments provided for in the regular army," said Major Trumbull. "Two of these are Infantry and two are cavalry regiments. The Tenth cavalry got into action with Pershing, and proved again What almost everybody knows: that the negro soldier is a 'bear cat' as a fighter. But not everybody In civil life knows that the negro regiments have another distinction.

Discipline among the negro regiments is slmost perfeot, and they are among the most efficient troops the army has. "There are several reasons for this. One is that the regiments have been filled light up to limit, and there is a waiting list of men who want to get in. In this way the recruiting officers can pick and choose men and get some of the best and most intelligent negroes in the country for the army." NEGROES LIKE ARMY LIFE. "Once in the army, most of the negroes want to stay there.

They Ilk the life. Many men serve the SO years that entities them to retirement on part pay, and then refuse to retire as long as they are sjffowed to stay with the colors. Some of the neg.ro noncommissioned officers are among the most efficient in the army. It is harder to get to be a noncommissioned officer In a negro regiment than it is to get a commission as an officer In a white regiment. "As a result of this the noncommissioned officers are men of such caliber that they are able to keep all matters of petty discipline out of the hands of the white officers over them.

The top sergeant of a company or troop handles most of the cases of breaking regulations that come up In his outfit. Whatever gets past him Is usually a courtmartial offense and nearly always results in the offender being given a bad conduct discharge. In less elegant language he Is kicked out. As a result of this, too, there is little desertion. BATTALION MEMBERS PLEASED WITH HOUSTON.

"When the battalion got her Saturday morning I asked several of the men how they thought they would Ilk Houston. Every one of them grinned happily at the question and aald that with green grass, real trees, fresh water right close to the camp, watermelons and roasting ears in season, and plenty of their own folks to mingle with, they thought everything looked might good, sir." A talk with officers of the battalion-Saturday after retreat brought out other faets about the regiment and the battalion of it tiat la in Houston to guard the quartermaster supplies that will come Into Camp (xgan before the Illinois troops get here. The Twenty-fourth has Its own system of discipline a conduct grading scale, the officers told a staff representative of The Post. To get Into the first conduct grade a soldier must be not only well behaved, but a good all around soldier, well up In his duties. When a recruit first takes on he Is -put Into the second grade and has to ff win his way Into the first.

After that the second grade Is a "comeback" status. As soon as a man commits any punishable offense and is sentenced for It he is put Into the third grade. After one month, It his conduct and attention to duties have' bean good he is advanced to the second grade. Another month of good conduct puts him back in the Jlrst grade.

The men are already making friends smong members of their own race in Houston, and a stream of them visited the camp during the day. Officers of the battalion are as well pleased with what they found in Houston as their men are. The camp site is Ideal, they say, and they feel that they struck It luoky when duty sent I hem to Houston after long months In Mexico and on the border. Orders to take transport for France is the only thing needed to make them feel that all Is right with the world. May Enlist Until Names Are Posted Some misapprehension having arisen regarding the eligibility of men for voluntary enlistment ht the army after their names had been drawn for the selective draft.
