THE fact that present day conditions have greatly increased the price of all
goods, and the difficulty of getting supplies, our stocks today will be found
equal to the most exacting requirements. The prices which we are offering
represent real economy for the reason that our purchases were made many
months ago, when prices were much lower than at present.

DIVISION PUBLICITY OFFICE
90th Division, U. 8. A.
Camp Travis. Tex.
Dec. 24, 1917.
Mr. John Esten Cooke,
The Reporter,
Rockdale, Texas.
My Dear Cooke The orders is-
sued to the men of this camp that
were sent you are in compliance with
instructions received from the war
department In matters of this na-
ture war department orders and in-
structions are given a strict con-
struction. It naturally follows that
thi| being the case, the publication
of letters written by soldiers to rela-
tives and friends, unless they are
trained minds can collect and collate
such data and through experience
will be able to come to a mere or
less definite conclusion that will not
first censored, is prohibited. Of-
fending soldiers will be given dis-
ciplinary penalties and newspapers
that do not cooperate may be the
cause of the needless sacrifice of the
lives of Americans.
Here is the impelling reason, most
likely, for this decision being reach-
ed : There is more idle gossip in an
I army camp than there is in a switch-
. man's shanty Trained minds are on
' the constant watch to get in touch
with such gossip. When this idle
talk is bom of something more than
a mere figment of imagination, these
be entirely inaccurate, as to the
plans of the American army This
, information is sent out through chan-
nels that despite continuous effort,
are never entirely closed to the ene-
mies of this country and is used to
the detriment of the success of the
American army.

This division wants the soldiers of
this camp to send as many letters
home to their parents, relatives,
friends and newspapers as they will
• write, but this division, in order to
comply with orders from the war de-
partment does not want and will not
tolerate those letters containing in-
i formation that will be of value to
I the enemies of thia country. What
may be printed without harm one
; week, may be highly prejudicial next
week and this prevents a set rule be-
i ing laid down on censorship. The
only safe plan ia for. all letters that
are printed to be first censored be-
fore being mailed and the division
publicity office and the intelligence
' section of this division srill always
give information as to what should
not be written to the soldiers and
I will pass, or decline to pass, all mat-
j t*r written from this camp, if it is
first submitted. Letter writing by
soldiers is encouraged. One of the
functions of tiiis division publicity
i office is to assist in this matter, as
well as to see that no prescribed in-
formation is contained in the letters.
The impelling reason for the es-
tablishment of the division publicity '
office was to be of service to the sold- j
iers and the folks back home The
commanding general wants the pub-
lic to know everything about what
the soldiers are doing, except those
things that could be used to defeat i
the plans of the American army. It
is not desired that a rigid censorship i
be established and maintained in!
this camp, nor will this be done as ;
'>ng as the newspapers patriotically
ooperate with the plans of the war
department The only way thia co-
operation can be given in a whole
hearted way is to take no chances,
but on the contrary to live up to the
requests sent out. for those requests
are not born of efficiousness, or
whim, but are the products of experi-
ence and by test have been proven
absolutely necessary
I hope this answers your ques-
• ons. We are dealing with a matter
that involves life and death No
news, however, interesting, is worth
the life of a single American boy and
it is to conserve and protect the lives
of American soldiers that the war de-
partment is asking the newspapers of
this country to refrain from publish-
ing letters that have not been passed
on by military authorities.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) DAVID C. McCALEB.
Division Publicity Officer
While armies are trained for de-
structive purposes, to be efficient as
