It was cer talnly inspiring to seo so many loyal Nebraskans assembled together to bo trained for Uio defonso of our bte'loved country. It mado tone feol proud In deed that our stato had been so genor pua in hidr anawor to our President's Ciill. Wodnosday morning our regiment broke camp at its former location and propared to movo to its now camp. Tho results of dslciplino and training wero clearly apparent in thW rapidity with which tour tojits -woro struck an& everything was packed for movement It is no small feat to movo nearly 2,000 men, but It was accomplished without a hitch. Tho men marched to tho new location and our tents and baggage woro moved on auto trucks. By three o'clock ln tho afternoon our tonts were set up In our now camp about ono and ono-half mW?a cast M our former lo cation. Wo aro now ' located H the Ve'ry odgo of Doming and It Is very convenient for th'oso of us who wish to visit tho town. Friday morning we received our sec ond lnnoculatlon since coming hero. Beyond a few sore arm8 this produced no ill effects and we aro now aU feol Ing O. K. again. On Friday mornings at 11 o'clock all our tents must bo furled. This con sists of loosonlng i:i tho ropes and wrapping tho tont noatly around tne center polo.
