troops are stationed must be wiped
out has left 10000 women homeless
San Antonio, Ell Paso, Houston
Galveston and other towns were af-
fected directly by the order. The
announcement that the War Depart
ment would not send troops to any
town which had such resorts started
a house-cleaning in host of small
towns which hope to become Govern
ment posts. Government detectives
have been investigating conditions
for months.
The Texas branch of the National
League for Woman's Service has pc.
titioned the War Department to give
the women employment in the wal
services. 1t has been suggested that
many of these women could do worb

LOAN is OUR FIRST BATTLE
And America Must Win it, Herbert
Quick Says.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Failure
of the Liberty Loan means possibly
that the war in all its bloods horrors
might be brought to America, Herbert
Quick of the Federal Farm Loan
Board declared in a statement to the
Nation, urging subscriptions to the
loan. Quick's statement follows:
"The trouble with the American
people is that they think of this war
as being far off. 1t is not far off. II
we fail in raising the billion dollars
called for in the Liberty Loan, the
people of the United States are de
feated people in the first battle.

MONEY is PLENTIFUL HERE
Six Hundred Dollars in Bills Thrown
Around Stores

Money is plentiful in this city re-
gardless of the drive being made to
place a Liberty Loan in every home
in Mexico.
Wednesday morning a large envel-
ope, brown in color and tightly closed
with sealing wax, laid around in a
local store until found by clerk who
carelessly placed it behind the counter
until the owner would call for it.
When the owner did call he was an
employee of a local bank and the en-
velope contained 5000 in unsigned and
uncut bills. Those in the store had
no suspicion of what the package had
in it and took no special care to safe
guard it.
