The Peril of Diaz (1911)
Arriving at the point of mobilization, we find all branches of the service, soldiers clad in khaki campaign uniforms, the infantry, cavalry and artillery, not excluding those daring, hard-working Signal Corps troops, exercising and maneuvering, and wheeling in the various intricate formations in which United States troops are so ably drilled. Then, presuming that orders had been issued, we see Army Engineers engaged in throwing pontoon bridges across the river, bordering the field of action, for the crossing of regiments into the objective country. This movement appears so realistic as to momentarily deceive the spectator into accepting its motive as actual. The clever tactics adopted in the military drills and the fine appearance of the Army excite respect and admiration. Not least, however, we view the hungry boys at mess, partaking of their rations. Their healthy and hearty participation bear testimony to the watchfulness of the government.
