EL PASO'S CHANCE TO MAKE GOOD
IN HELPING THE ARMY IS HERE
TTL PASO hat been called upon to do
i-i wmning work for the government
Upon the nccew with which 1 Paso
pend future tasks of Uui kind, bo doubt.
We have been asked to help the government form a
bie motor unit of over 5000 men. If we do the task as it
should be done, we may be asked to
things help to train a few brigades el Texas cavalry, tor
instance; who can tell?
We are being put to the test right sow and we mast
more than "make good." For sooths El Paso has been
telling the government that "it wanted troops; that El
Paso wanted a share in this war work; that El Paso
was ready and willing to do Us best, Xew we are given a
chance.
The government has takes as at oar word and has
asked ns to help in this very important task. It could
hiTe asked Detroit or Chicago or St. Louis or Kansas City,
or some other large dty to form this big motor unit, for
they are nearer the mechanical centers,
Paso. It has given EI Paso an assignment such as it has
given no other city of this site in the country. It has
called upon as to carry oat a program similar to that
assigned to San Antonio and Atlanta.
ington are apon as and we mast show that when we said
we wanted to help in this war work, we were in earnest
Lieut. W. C. Conger, who presented the government's
request is enthusiastic over the manner in which the work
has lies taken up. He commends the
tion and willingness evidenced by those who have come
iorwa:l since the call was issued. "Why, many men have
actually gone without their ranch," he said, "that they
might be oa duty at the automobile dab headquarters here
and help answer the questions of the men who applied for
service in the motor transport corps.
This is the spirit we should all show.
needs these men badly and it needs them
as it collects and trains the 5022 men included in the first
call, it is the plan to call and train more, nearly 2000 a
month. El Paso mast get the first contingent so quickly
that the government will see fit to continue the work here.
This may mean other and larger commands of troops to
be trained here, too, bat 5000 men, in addition to those
sow here, is quite a little army and quite an addition to
the military population of the city.
It is not so much that they wiH be trained here and
that they will spend their money here while being trained,
but that the government HEEDS them that should actu
ate the people of EI Paso in helping to obtain them. The
motor transport service is one of the most important
branches of the army. Without transportation, no army
can proceed. Transportation, or rather the lack of it, re
salted in the repulse of the Germans when they were about
to take Paris in 1914. Lack of transportation forced the
American soldiers at Columbus to give np the chase after
Pancho Villa when he raided Columbus, and cost the
United States minions of dollars in the resultant Pershing
expedition later sent into Mexico after him.
Transportation or lack of it has tamed many a battle.
The motor transport corps supplies the fighters with food
and munitions and dothing. Let the transport corps break
down and the army fails. Keep it up and the army can
keep going. It is officially reported that daring one bat
tle on the Somme, 6000 motor tracks passed a given point
in eight hoars, taking ap supplies to the alKed fiehters.
Motor tracks by the thousands mast famish the food, ma-
rations and dothing for the men fighting.

all hate ns with hatred that's insane!" Of course we ought to love them,
the Germans, rank sad file, and Bill, who reigns above them, with eagles on his

showed, dad rat them, our views were out of place. And even when they
slaughtered like butchers run smock, till France and Belgium tottered beneath
foul Wows they stride, we said, It is their princes who make of war a fright;
the rulers an axe evinces, but Germans are all right," Oh, we were slow be
lieving how vile the Tests could be, although their boats went weaving like
pirates through the sea; although with glee inhuman they plied the sword and
dirk on babe and priest and woman, and gloried in the work. Since this war

W. T. Scoggina, of Las Cruces. "I

would gladly plant this crop It a
factory in Las Cruces would take
their output- Beans yield a tine crop
here if planted at the right time. Ta
ble peas and beets are snre crops. As
paragus is another sure crop of much
promise as a canning product. Just
think of our bench lands with the
highline canal and how well tbey ere

little time, an efficient field man

without one longer Is not very plain
to our farmers."
"I have tabulated the subscribers
of every issue of Liberty bonds sold
in El Paao and I have found that the
working people nearly all subscribe
something to every Issue, while the
wealthier persons sometimes sub
scribe and sometimes do not." said
Miss Neoml Keller, chief clerk to the
Liberty loan committee. "If all men
living In El Paso were as faithful in
subscribing what they were able as
are the people who work for their
dally bread, there would be no need
for drives, committee meetings, or
anything of the kind, for quotas would
be reached the very first day. It
must be that there Is a deeper feel
ing of patriotism among the working
people than among those who are
safe from want on account of what
they have accumulated or Inherited.
I can see no other reason tor what
the records show."

It a point to direct all Inquiring men

done."
"We expect the Red Cross, the Ro
tary, the Klwanls. and all other or
ganizations to lend us their efforts
for next week, which Is cleanup
week for the Liberty loan committee,"
said W. M. Butler, secretary. "We
realize what other forces are doing
and all of that, but we feel that there
should be no division of energy next
week In the city, but that it shonld
be one long, strong pull altogether
over the top for the Liberty loan

that an emergency exists and the

delights to honor, but in humbler

men whose daily labor keeps them
from want," said Robert Krakauer.
"Subscriptions to this Issue of Lib
erty bonds is the test of El Paso's
love for the country, and the records
show unmistakably on whom the Uni
ted States may depend. It Is not fair
that one class of our citizens should
actually deny themselves in order to
subscribe, while another holds back
not only enough to prevent the pos
sibility of present concern but also
provides for future rslny days. Few
men who are worth thousands are
worrying their heads tonight over
how they will meet their obligations
and pay for their bonds, but hundreds
of men who have nothing but their
wages to buy their daily bread are
now figuring out how they may pro
vide necessities of life after buying
their bonds. It would be exceedingly
interesting to have the subscriptions

THE VALLET OP VIRGIXIA
T TIE WED from the height of a Blue
V Ridge mountain peak, the Valley
of Virginia consists of a series of neat
gold and green fields, embroidered
with mist cloaked mountains bine
enough to warrant their name. The
silver, curving Shenandoah sweeps
through the valley with reckless dis
regard for the checkerboard field pat
tern favored by the Virginia, farmers.
Closer acquaintance with the valley
confirms the first distant Impression
of order and peaceful prosperity.
Barns larger and mora ornate than
the homes they support testify to the
wealth of the region, and a farmer
celebrates a successful season by
adding to his barn Instead of in
stalling electricity in his house. At
close rang the grassy fields are
smoothly rolling, and well stocked
with cattle.
Down here the beruffled blue sun
bonnet and breed straw hat are still
worn in the best circles, and Virginia
biscuit change from a tradition to an
enjoyable fact. Heavy automobile
trucks lumber down from the moun
tains with loads of apples, but these
unpicturesque and efficient machines
are far outnumbered by the more ap
propriate mountain wagons with
rounded canvas tops and the driver
perched astride of one of the team.
Even these ancient vehicles seem Im
bued with the prevailing atmosphere
of neatness. From white canvas hood
to the Jingling bells with scarlet
trappings that swing from each
horse's back, the outfits are suffi
ciently spotless to grace the most or
derly road of the Valley of Virginia.
