Description: 
Attached: "162832 F.C. COPYRIGHT CLINEDINST, WASH. D.C. FROM UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD, N.Y. FOR WHAT FAIRY PRINCESS ARE THEY FIGHTING -- MISS LIBERTY IF YOU WOULD KNOW. Modern gladiators in action, of course you'd think it was to settle some love affair over a princesses's hand, but it is not they are fighting as part of their training to defeat the enermies of the civilized world, and for the protection of Miss Liberty. The photo shows two well covered as a protection from fencing swords, fencing on horseback, in one of the camps "somewhere in the United States. The ticking over their bodies, the queer shaped helmet and the rest of their equipage all tend to form the impression of a knight errant-- come back. CENSORED AND PASSED BY THE COMMITTEE OF PUBLICATION. 11/19/17."
