The Major Who Carried The Message To Garcia
FL Pasoar Who Did Things When Told To Do So

TLBERT HUBBARD made Maj. Andy
Rowan famous, for Rowan was the
- man about whom was written the
story Of a Message TO Garcia" Mai.
Rowan was told 10 do something
original and he did It Right here in FL
Paso we have recently had a striking
example OF the very same thing One
osy last summer Gen George Bell, jr..
sent for Mai Edward Sigerfoos and
said: Major. want you TO organize
some motor truck companies" Just that
and nothing morei
No one had ever had such a task as
signed him before and there had never
been motor truck companies before
Maj Sigerfoos thought the matter over
Deared out in Cotton addition, the camp
of the truck companies. An organiza-
ton second to none in our military es-
adjustment was soon in working order
and when Maj. SigerfOos left the other
day he had eight companies, each con-
sisting Of 80 trucks, tanks. touring cars
and roadsters.
Now this man Sigerfoos did not ask
Gen Bell how TO 90 about his work:
where the men to do it were 10 come
from, how many machines 10 put in
company or where 10 house them. He
was told 10 do something and he did it
There is a great lesson to be learned
from this incident If you don't think
that military training is a good thing

II y'u go to tn front you're either
in tn firm line or in tn reserve. If
you're in tn reserve, why worry2
II you're on tn firm line y'u either
get shot or y'u don't. If y'u don't y'u
amt got no right { worry.
IF y'u get shot you either get killed
or y'd get wounded If y'u get killed

An Official Puzzle

CURIOUS kind of craftsmanship is apparent in the
inquiry of the state department to ambassador Gerard
Berlin to declare whether he correctly quoted by the
Overseas News Agency having stated in speech that
relations between Germany and the United States
never cordial
The state departments inquiry carries with 1t the
suggestion that relations not so cordial they
might be- because of the numerous questions growing
out of the submarine 1t has also been stated from
Washington that the department breads lest
nations should in the ambassadors remarks
for offence at least standardization the suspicion
that the United States has been aiding Germany
welcome peace proposals
There is every to believe the ambassador
correctly quoted Recent dispatches from Berlin OF
confirmatory nature He did undoubtedly make some
reference cordial relations between the United States
and Germany. His remarks produced excellent in
preston higher circles in Germany as well as among
the mass OF the people. Their effect would be to make
easier settlement of any outstanding questions be
tween Germany and the United States by paving the
way with good feeling
As for the entente countries the Interpretation gen
orally placed on the ambassadors that they
warning to Germany that cordial relations existed
because OF the conservative leaders Berlin but that
conditions might be expected to change promptly if the
radical element especially the opponents Of ruthless
submarine warfare, were to rise to power This con-
strucon, OF course satisfied the entente people Not
word OF criticism unfuendy to ambassador Gerard or
the United States has come result of the ambas-
ados speech That proves how unjustfed is the state
departments apprehension. The inquiry however is
likely to spoil the effect of Mr. Gerards speech by show
ing he has not the backing of his government.
The inquiry would tend to show Germany that the
state department did not feel the cordalty between the
nations which the ambassador mentioned thus provoking
resentment IN Berlin. And it would tend to disappoin
