Galveston, Texas September 15.--Thc
manner in which the Galveston people are
g)ipg about the work OF rehabilitating
their stricken city reminds one Of the way
a colony OF ants begin to repair their
home after it has been ruined by a rain
or by the ruthless act OF some larger
being. AS soon as, apparently, the first
is over, the little insects begin to scurry
and to hustle and to do everything they
are capable OF doing In their puny efforts
to bring order out of chaos and to restore
their abiding place TO its normal condition.
Now that these bereaved people Of Gal
weston have recovered from tho FIRST
shock of the appalling horror which hos
come over them, they are, with GOODNESS
and calmness which Is almost inconceiv-
able under the circumstances. taking pre-
liminary steps to rebuild their city.
