'ARRAICNS GOVERNMENT
Says United States, Though Not Cruel
is Negligent of Welfare of Families
of Troopers; A Condition Which
Does Not Exist ia Europe
BY William G. Shepherd,

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent,)
San Antonio, Tex, July 20.-Not one
soldier with whom ! rubbed elbows
within all the armies of Europe in the
past two years, ever worried as much
as some of these American soldiers
along the edge of Mexico. These
Americans are worrying about their
families back home and do not know
whether their wives and children have
enough to eat.
Such a deplorable condition is not
possible to exist in any European
army, for the European governments
care for the families Of their soldiers.
If the Germans knew that the British
ers were treating the families Of their
soldiers as we are treating ours, or
vice versa, the fact would be blazoned
to the world as an indication of gov
ernmental cruelty by the enemy. It is
not cruelty on our part, however, but
only an oversight and the lesson we
have learned has cost unhappiness ana
embarrassment in many American
homes.

IT MEANS
ANOTHER
HAY CROP
Buyer Says Heavy Rain Will Mean An
other Cutting Of Alfalfa in Washita
Valley This Season

"The hay crop had all been about
gathered and shipped for the season, :
said j. NJ Peters, hay buyer. this
morning to an Express man. "Anoth.
er crop looked very doubtful and this
would have been the last week OF ship
ments But, as a result OF this heavy
downpour | expect to get at least sew
enty-five more carloads this year. The
ten cars which ! shipped out last week
and about fifteen which expected to
get this week | believed would wind
up my work in alfalfa"
This has been prosperous year
for raisers of hay While the price
has not been so good as in other years,
they have had a fine growth 4 nd have
had splendid chance to save it all.
Frow now on they will have more ia
vorable weather in which to mature
it than at any other time of the year.
There will be at least one more cut
ting all around and in some cases,
where another cutting was about
ready, there will be two. AS every car
means on an average Of s10O coming
into this section the revenue from hay
this year will not be inconsiderable"

Governor Emanuel l.. Philipp,
whose determination is to run the
government of Wisconsin on the ha-
sis of efficiency and competency re-
sulting in economy and stability, and
who. endearing himself to every
thoughtful elector by his prudent and
Just administration of nearly two
years, is presented to the public by
the Republican party for another
term, to carry out the program of
complete restoration to Wisconsin of
her prestige, industrial and financial
development lost during the many
years of his predecessors. Stalwart
American as he is, and being capable
az grapphng with such untoward
conditions, Governor Philips has es-
tablished reputation to handle such
conditions, and therefore is in a po-
sition to ignore the attacks of his op-
ponents whose stars try to shinewhen
the sun is flooding us with its radi-
ance, making their illumination use
less and worthless, as the influence Of
his esprit de corps is reflected in the
large number of supporters that have
voluntarily come forward to insure
his reelection. The fight on the day
is fast approaching when we shall
rive another proof of our loyalty to
our Republican party, and in spite OF
the great opposition of the opponents
the people of this state will again
show their intelligence and thought
fulness in continuing an administra-
ton that serves the best interest OF

diers, back from four months border
duty in Texas, were met at the de-
pot by 500 citizens, headed by city
officials, Spencer's bands and pla-
toon Of police and most of all, sweet
hearts, wives and mothers. The train
from Springfield was late, but all
waited. There was a whistle, sa-
lutte of guns from the guardsmen,
and and the waited train swung along
the crowds, every window framing a
soldier, anxious for the first glimpse
of home and friends. Cheers drowned
out the band and the soldiers were
almost pulled from the car windows
by eager hands as the train came to
stop. Headed by squad of Po-
lice and Spencer's band, the Com
pany marched up Adams st. to Main
and then to its armory, Fulton and
