FIRST STATE BANK
Carmen
HIS is an era of high prices
Bankers and financiers gener
ally tell us there is plenty of
motley in circulation Natural-
ly in flush times people are in-
clined to loosen up
Fake Relief on the purse strings
Solicitors This is commenda
ble especially in
view of the many calls that are be-
ing made on the generosity of the
public
But if we are not careful much of
our charity will be misplaced There
are legitimate calls that we must
meet and we cannot afford to be hum-
bugged The government must be
financed Red Cross and kindred or-
ganizations must be supported and :t
will take every dollar we can rake to-
gether to meet these demands
Aside from these legitimate de-
mands though every now and then we
are importuned to give to this that
and the other so-called “relief"
scheme People with more “patriot-
ism” than brains conceive that the
soldiers are not being properly cared
for and a “bazaar" is promoted t
give the needed relief The people out
of their loyalty and gencrosit- res-
pond liberally with the result that if
the promoters are honest and disin-
terested the soldier boys are deluged
with a lot of junk for which they have
no earthly use In many cases how-
ever the promoters are “interested"
more in themselves than in the boys
in which case the proceeds are mainlv
eaten up in the form of salaries and
expenses
The government ha? issued instruc-
tions for all the auxiliary work it
wishes the people at large to assist
in carrying on and it will be well for
all to read up on these instructions
that they be not duped Not every
ycung enthusiast who can secure a
red white and blue sash and take a
collection for a “cause” is to be en-
couraged There are as has been said legiti-
mate channels through which ouv re-
lief can be bestowed and we should be
very careful to see that it goes
through these channels that it may
be sure of reaching the object for
which it is given
This country had as well wake up to
the fact that Russia is definitely out
of the running The blow is a stag-
gering one tp the Allied but should
not be the cause of much despair or
even of undue pessimism While her
defection gives the German arms much
needed relief yet this country is ready
now to step into the breach she has
left And unless all signs fail we
shall be occupying that place by the
time spring opens Then again with
the acquisition of Russia Germany
will probably acquire more of a liabil-
ity than an asset That country will

be in the throes of civil war for years
to come and will not cease to be a
menace to the Germans Armies must
be maintained to watch her closely
or even to interfere in her internal
troubles Viewed in the light of com-
mon sense it wTould appear that the
Allies have-lost a treacherous ally and
gained one of proven loyalty It un-
doubtedly will require a greater ef-
fort and longer time to gain the vic-
tory than would have been the case had
Russia remained true but we will win
This country is soul and body in to
win and she has yet to taste defeat
If an object lesson is needed fo show
in what light Germany regards neut-
ral nations and to verify her estimate
of a treaty as a “scrap of paper” the
fate of Norway is ample for the pur-
pose That nation although adher-
ing scrupulously to a policy of neut-
rality has lost hundreds of ships by
German submarines and mines and
not less than 5000 lives with them
No one of the allied countries’ navies
have suffered to the extent that Nor-
wegian shipping has suffered

One thing this war has done lor us
it has convinced many Democrats that

BRIGADIER GENERAL SENDS
GREETINGS TO HOME FOKS
Brigadier General William H John-
ston commanding the 90th Division
National Army extends in behalf of
the officers and men of the Division to
their families and friends at home his
wishes that during the year 1918 their-
families and friends may be as happy
as they and that before another new
year the war for protection of the-
rights of American citizens may be
terminated by the defeat of the ene-
mies of this country
The members of the 90th Division
will represent the states of Texas and
Oklahoma when with the Allied
Forces the army of the United States
breaks- the Western line of the Teu-
tonic forces and renders it forever im-
practicable for any despotic power to
' threaten the lives of American citi-
zens 1
At Camp Travis the soldiers of
Texas and Oklahoma enjoy the pecu-
liar privilege of taking advantage of
climatic conditions permitting contin-
uous training throughout the winter
The quarantine imposed for' measles
and mumps has been raised Hospital
facilities here are ample for those who
may become sick Training at the
rate of eight hours per day interrupt-
ed by Sundays and half holidays on
Wednesdays and Saturdays and by
frequent opportunities to participate
in field sports the men of this Div-
ision are gaining in health and phys-
ique and are as well clothed and fed
as they would be outside the army
They have rendered a magnificent
example to all American citizens by
responding to the call of the Presi-
dent to offer their time their money
and perhaps their lives for a cause
which has compelled this great repub-
lic to enter a war without precedent
in magnitude These men are en-
titled to all the praise accorded by
Him who said: “Greater love hath
no man than this that he lay down
his life for his friends” Complying
with the law all these men have made
this sacrifice even those who having
fought a successful campaign abroad
return to their families and friends as
more valuable citizens of a country
which has never known defeat
The 90th Division will be ready to
go whenever and wherever the Presi-
dent directs Whether they “only
stand and wait” in training camps
here or abroad or participate in the
campaign wffiich may lead to the city
of Berlin they “also serve” as hon-
orably as any soldier has ever served
in the armies of the United States
I assure the families and friends of
the men of this Division that the ut-
most efforts of the officers of the
Division will be exerted to maintain
the health and comfort of all of the
men of the Division until the emerg-
ency which led to their calling has ter-
minated and they are honorably dis-
charged and permitted to rejoin those
whom they love with the conscious-
ness that they have “fought the good
fight have kept the faith” and with
pride can point to the service they
have rendered their country

Don’t Stop to Listen to Peace Talk
In a recent review of military oper-
ations the Secretary of War says:
“The various reportSi of immediate
peace proposals yb the Germans on
seemingly favorable terms should not
for a moment induce us to slacken
our reparations for war It is only
necessary for us to recall that during
the Christmas season last year the
Germans put forth very similar peace
rumors”
