Turkish Officials Friendly

Recent reports as late as into October
of this year make It clear that the Turk
ish officials are increasingly friendly to-
ward the United States. They see the
impending ruin of their country
The sending of Bernstein to CONSTANT
nople is interpreted as an endeavor on the
part OF Germany to stem this rising tide
OF friendship.
'If the United States should declare
war upon Turkey there is every reason to
expect that German officials would at
once seize the large plants of American
colleges and institutions in Constantine

put them to military uses. thus material

ENDORSING
PROBING MADE
President Wyatt to Place
Postal Rate Matter Be
fore Directors Again.

Without asking for information
from the newspapers or giving a
hearing to anyone. a majority OF the
directors of the chamber OF commerce
went on record yesterday afternoon
as favoring an increase Of the rate
OF postage to newspapers, on a re-
quest from the National One Cent
Postage association. Of Cleveland,
Ohio. President J. N. Wyatt voted
against the measure and argued
against it. Directors J. ". Lorentzen
and G. A Martin mad left the meet
ing, under the impression that tbs
business for which the meeting had
been called had been transacted, and
were not present to vote
4 am in favor OF reducing the
postage on newspapers if any change
is TO be made" said president Wyatt.
The legitimate newspapers and
magazines are the greatest aducatOrs
of the country. and everything should
be done TO increase their circulation
rather than to retard it."
Because the newspapers had not
been given a chance to be heard. and,
believing that every interest affected
by a vote OF the directors Of the
chamber Of commerce should have a
fair hearing, whether il be that OF
a peanut peddler tr a banker Mr..
Wyatt ordered that the action of the
board be not sent to the One Cent
Postage association until another
meeting could be held and the di-
rectors could get some information

infIict.

THANKS THE SOLDIERS

Editor FL Paso Herald;
For the extinguishing OF the fire
in the 3400 block on Nashville street.
last night and the saving of two other
bungalows, every ounce Of credit and
thanks we want given 10 the soldiers,
principally of the Sixth infantry. who
rushed to the fire. They saved al
most all the furniture from the burn
ing house, leaving only stationary
articles: then they formed a Sucket
brigade and had extinguished the fire
from the adjoining bungalow with
buckets, coal scuttles and with pans
before the firemen were on the scens.
They rammed in the burning walls
when they saw the danger OF the
chimneys falling upon the onlookers.
While attempting to turn off the gas
they were roughly told to mind their
own business" by the 1iremen. who
made ready to leave while the fire
was still burning and a strong wind
was blowing.
We citizens raised d protest and
hooted the firemen for their unjust
treatment of the soldiers, and in our
helplessness begged these soldiers not
to leave US exposed to further danger
Of fire from the wind We were
assured that they would not leave
until all danger was over and they
kept their word TO the letter.
Through The Herald we want to Of
fer sincerest thanks to the soldiers,
and hope they may be near to nelp in
other accidents Of the kind

JUNIORS WIN ROUGH HOUSE
EVENT AT HIGH SCHOOL

Probably the most heartily contest
ed rush in the history Of the Ell Paso
high school was held when the
juniors. after a half hour struggle
succeeded in downing the boys Of the
senior class.
The forces Of both classes were
rather evenly matched but the seniors
lost the rush through poor general
ship, il is said, since they had half
Of their force in reserve The juniors
easily succeeded in disposing OF the
first half and had them out OF the
rush by the time the reserves came
on
Both the seniors and the juniors
made a clean fight OF II. even though
several were laid out and everybody
was pretty we'll bruised

to the spectators as the seniors out

Members Of the Peal Estate board
Of Fl Paso gave their hearty endorse
ment Tuesday to the buy a home cam

to offer the school children cash
prizes instead Of building sites, 10 be
awarded for the two best essays
written by children on the benefits Of
owning a home, but J. E. Benton said
that while a cash prize might appeal
more strongly 70 the cupidity Of the
contestants, it would not be In line
with the idea of the campaign. He
thought that sites for homes would
be the best prizes and would encour-
age winners OF prizes to make money
enough to build homes on their sites.
The board voted for each Of its
members to pay into the treasury OF
the board 10 percent Ct their com
missions duRng the campaign, and
from this money the two building
sites would be purchased

GONE TO THE COLORS

The Kid has gone to the Colors
And we don't know what to say;
The kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag to-day.
We thought him a child, baby
With never care at all,
But his country called him man-size
And the Kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where fired by the fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that it whispered Come
The Kid, not being a Stacker,
Stood forth with patriot-joy
To add his name OF the roster
And God, we're proud Of the boy!
The Kid has gone to the Colors;
1t seems but little while
Since he drilled a schoolboy army
In truly martial style.
