TEXAS DROUTH

Thousands of Cattle Have Starved to
Death and Thousands More
VIII Follow

United Press Leased Wire Service.
SAN ANGELO, Texas, Nov 3D.
Thousands Of cattle have starved to
death in Texas, and thousands more
will die from the same causes-the
protracted drouth in the western and
southwestern sections Of the state, the
freight car shortage and the scarcity
and high price OF feed stuffs.
John N. Simpson, cattleman and
banker, said today the drouth is the
worst this section has known. Last
spring the farmers planted feed crops
three times, the last planting being
in May, butsthe seed still remains I'M
terminated. The grass also has been
killed
Cattlemen asked the railroads for
cars to ship their stock to east Texas.
Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana,
where the seasons have been normal.
The roads were unable to meet this
demand and only few of the cattle
were transported.
One big cattle raiser told the United
Press that up to July /, he had lost a

ton is even now at heart strongly
opposed to the Prussian yoke and
hoping ardehtly for democratic free
dom.
Gompers declared that no one in
the world would more quickly extend
the hand of fraternaity to the people
of Germany than Americas workers,
when the German people are i'll com.
mand Of their own destinies."
Like Henderson, he believes there
are pow erful Influences at work car
rying on the task Of democratizing
kaiserism In Germany. He urged
American support Of those influences
and wishes them God speed In their
undertaking.
Gompers expressed the belief that
there are those in Germany who I'M
derstand this issue between the prin-
ciples of power and the principles OF
freedom"
Citing the words Of President Will
son as his authority, he declared that
only upon a foundation of thor
oughly democratized and de-Prussian-
lied Germany. can lasting peace,
founded upon mutual respect and
justice, be negotiated between the
people of all countries"
Gompers' staten emit to the United
Press was made following announce
ment of his war policies by the rank
and file of American organized labor
in convention for the first time since
war was declared.
Elm official statements dealing with
the causes of war, President Wilson
has made 1t plain that the war is not
against the German people" said
Gompers, but against the imperial
government, dominated by kaiser
ism.
1.-THE German people and particu.
larry the German workers. are not
adequately represented in that gov
portunities or agencies for the ex.
preston of their will.
1--WE feel sure that If the German
people were untrammeled and could
express their true nature, that the
policies of the German government
would be fundamentally changed.
1--WE feel that democracy is the
only true basis for relations between
men, whether national or information
al.
There are in Germany those who
understand this issue between the
principles of power and the principles
of freedom and it is our heartfelt hope
that faithful leaders of humanity may
do their work with such wisdom and
effectiveness as to democratize Ger
man political institutions. making
them responsive to the will of tn.

Then lasting peace, founded or
mutual respect and justice can be
negotiated between the peoples of all

things. It Is suggested that all orders
received before 10: 80 O'Clock be deliv-

that time will not be delivered until
late afternoon. The dead line for af-
