NOCTURNAL KEBEL GREETING
TO THE BOYS IN BLUE
On. Monday night at 9.30 the various regi: ments ccamped near Caloocan were alarmed by a number of colleys tired in rapid succes: sion. Several duciments mmediately hasten ed to the scene to ascertain the cause, which fortunately, proved to be more ludicrous than serious.
A number of the permanent guard (eight) of the 9th US. Infantry, were sitting behind the fortifications constructed of sand bags, on the railway bridge situated three miles from Caloocan, swapping ghost storica and smoking cigarettes, when suddenly without a moment's warning Filipino heals popped up over the barrier, and without taking uim, evidently, as usual relying upon their brilliant marksman- ship with eyes closed, poured a valley of cold feat inte the genial, convivial gathering, which quickly responded to the rather unexpected and too effusive greating. However, the night was dark, and to hit the enemy was as difficult task as to shoot a black cat in a dark cellar full of cual, At any rate if any of them were hit they were carried off by their comrades, as no corpses were visible the next day.
