Sergeant Pryor was, very desirous of making it clear that the above menu for a day is just a normal one. lie wanted it understood that there will be no frills about the service, but that there will be plenty of the most wholesome and best prepared food that the market can provide. The rations will be such as those given the regular soldiers, with the addition of such extras as milk, fresh fruit and better cuts of meat, on the average. Matter of Expense. While the regular army men are getting get-ting ready for the recruits, some of these latter have become somewhat exercised over the failure of the president to sign the military appropriation bill that will provide for the expenses of transportation transporta-tion .for the out-of-town recruits. Many inquiries have been reaching Lieutenant llugene Santschi, officer in ch'arge, and to them he has universally replied that approval of the bill is but a matter of days and that it is best for the recruit to pay his own transportation, getting a receipt for the same, to get a refund later from the government. The letter that he has been sending out reads as follows: In view of the fact that the appropriation ap-propriation bill iwas just passed last week and has not yet been signed and. made a law, it may be necessary neces-sary at the last minute that arrangements arrange-ments by telegraph be made for transportation of those who have en-roiled; en-roiled; and, iu view of the confusion that may be caused thereby, I would suggest that all who can make arrangements ar-rangements to buy their transports-' transports-' tion and obtain a receipt for it. Tho government will refund the money. There is practically no question' of the bill 's becoming a law and, as it is framed, it will provide for refund- -ing any money advanced by those wlio enroll for the camps. I would urge that you go ahead and make your arrangements accordingly, accord-ingly, and, if there is any further information in-formation desired, either wire or write us immediately.
