Mr. Overstreet was very enthusiastic
over the new HupmObile models. There
are no material changes over the 1916

through the Fort Bliss reservation but
II was not deep enough to give trouble
and after the speedometer had reached
the five mile mark the going improved

some sand but it was fairly well

isn't wholly bad, this War that so
many deprecated and that we all long
to see rightly ended. If we could but
get the same result without the actu-
al war. Perhaps we can now we
know how!
See what few months of train
ing has done for the lads. Already
it has made husky men of a lot of
roundshouldered, slack-kneed boys
who might not otherwise have found
themselves. For the first time many
of them have "roughed 1t" whole
somely. City boys have had enough
exercise out doors. County boys
have got concentration and compan.
ionship in camp.
Look at their eager, alert faces;
boys of foreign birth and tradition
newly-made Americans,-sons of old
Colonial stock. North and South rich
and poor, educated and unschooled,-
all dedicated to one glorious Cause;
learning Comradeship and Nationali.
ty which make all brothers under one
Flag. Whatever happens 1t won't be
all waste time, money, strength, suf-
fering,-waste lives. even-if we
learn what the nation so sorely need,
ed,-"getting together; and how to
attain it,-by universal service.
It's like this; when you're we'll you
prepare to conserve health by soap
and commonsense. So in time OF
peace we must conserve peace by
preparedness.
With the Awful Ample before us
there's not much danger that any free
nation will hereafter choose to be q
