Oodles of oratory and loads of
language in regard to the proposed

and city attorney, requesting them to
confer with Minnesota & Interna-

is estimated, will cost $4,000.

Lonesome as a Desert Island.

But, say the girls at home, don't the
soldiers get chance to go to town and
meet people socially?
They go to town. But in the case of
the enlisted men their diversion there
consists Of wandering about the streets
for an hour or two in the evening. buv-
Ing a few postcards and some simple
refreshment and ''beating it''-soldiers'
term for hastcning-back to camp be-
fore $50, empty handed, empty heart
ed and as lonesome as a man on a des
ert island
This consequences is increasing from
what the soldier SEES in town. The
streets through which he lounges lone
somely are filed, between and 9. with
promenaders, Ell Paso people, who,
lightly dressed and clean, look as if
they were cool.
They look contented, and in their con-
tent they gaze right through Johnny
DouShbOy from up north without see-
ing him or betraying any consciousness
of his presence in the same street with
them.
This particularly is true of the fem
inine portion of the crowd in the street.
The soldier in his dusty khaki is no
hero to them. AS he passes through
their vacant gaze he feels that the
warm greetings he received on his way
across the country must be part Of q
fantastic dream.
