TRAINING CAMP
At FORT BLISS
Military Committee Decides
to Hold Citizen Maneu-
vers Next Fall.

The military committee Of the cham
Der OF commerce met with Col. C. W,
Taylor Thursday afternoon in the di-
rectors room Of the City National bank
and decided to hold a citizens train
ing camp in or near FL PasO during
the fall of the present year, similar to
the camps that have operated so sue
cessfully for business men at Platts-
burg, n. Y, and Fort Sheridan, Ill.
The training camp, 1t was distinctly
understood. had nothing to do With
border conditions and had been con-
templated long before any border dis
turbances occurred. Fifty-seven FL
Paso business men signed up for such
a camp a year ago, but not sufficient
interest was had ct that time to make
it a success. The object will be to Sc
cure at least 400 men. and if this is
done the equipment and officers will
be furnished by the government.
All who are interested in the train
ing camp are invited to notify Malcolm
Fraser, secretary Of the chamber of
commerce
Those present at the meeting were;
Col o. w. Taylor, R. B. Orndorff. Frank

SOLDIERS MAIL
WITHOUT STAMPS
Mayor Lea Suggests Ar
rangement That Prevailed
in the Spanish War.

During the Spanish-American war,
and later IN the Philippines, the United
States permitted soldiers in the cam
paigns to write letters back home to
relatives, without the necessity of plac-
ing postage stamps upon them. The
only requirement was that an officer
must sign the envelope in the corner,
to pass 1t. Mayor Tom Lea was sol
der in the Spanish-American war, and
remembering what a boon such an ar
rangement was to the men who served
in the ranks, he sent telegram last
night to the postmaster general asking
that the same arrangement be put into
effect with regard to the soldiers now
in Mexico The mayors telegram fol-

The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1916-12-11

Five Points in New York was spot
as near like hell as any spot on earth
There are five streets that run to this
point, and right in the middle was an
old brewery, and the streets on either
side were lined with grog shops. The
newspapers turned searchlight on
the district, and before they could
stop it the first thing they had to do
was to buy the old brewery and turn
it into a mission, and today it is de-
cent respectable place.
The saloon is the sum of all viii
lainies. 1t is worse than war or
pestilence. 1t is the crime of crimes.
1t is the parent of crimes and the
mother of sins. 1t is the appalling
source of misery and crime in the
land, and the principal cause of
crime. 1t is the source of three
fourths of the crime, and, of course,
it is the source of threefourths of the
taxes to support that crime. And 10
license such an incarnate fiend of hell
is the directest low-down, damnable
business on top of this old earth.
There is nothing to be compared to 1t.
You men now have chance 10
show your manhood. Then in the name
of your pure mother, in the name of
your manhood. in the name of your
wife and the pure, innocent children
that climb up in your lap and put
their arms around your neck. in the
name of all that is good and noble,
fight the curse. Shall you men, who
hold in your hands the ballot, and in
that ballot hold the destiny Of wom-
anhood and children and manhood,
shall you, the sovereign power, refuse
to rally in the name of defeGseless
men and women and native land? No!
want every man to say: God, you
can count on me to protect my wife,
my home, my mother and my chill
dren and the manhood of America"
