NO RAIN IN WEST
TEX. IN IS MONTHS

Dallas. Sept. IA strange process
sion of canvas covered wagons. drawn
by mules, for more than a month has
been creeping out of west Texas with
farmers and ranchers who have de-
SPARED of trying to make a livelihood
on the land that has been parched un-
der a blazing sun and has seen vir-
tually no rain for So months.
The emigrants from this particular
section have turned their faces toward
the cotton fields of eastern Texas and
Oklahoma, where work for all can eas-
lily be obtained. In some parts of the
West Texas district, dusk finds as
many as dozen of these emigrant
camps in a single mile.
From the Panhandle and the north
ern section Of the state come reports
that similar caravans, reminiscent of
half a century ago, mar the exodus of
farmers from those districts who are
moving toward Colorado and farther
west.
The war has played its part with the
departing homesteader, but lack of
rain has been the real factor. Most Of
the settlers have been on land rented
from the state. Some have spent years
of labor building up their herds and
others have been working the land in
to a profitable state Of cultivation.
But the drought came and the cattle
died in numbers and those that did not
die were too weak to bear young.
Livestock men said the calf crop in
west Texas this year was a failure.
Some settlers had accumulated
enough money to travel while others
borrowed money with which to make

war added to the tragedy by taking
away young men whose strength might
have made it possible for farmers to
hold on until rain came.
The country which the settlers are
leaving is that west and north of Fort
Worth and Dallas, ranging as far west
as the state boundary and south of the
Panhandle country. In the Panhandle
there were rains in the spring and oc-
casional showers later that kept grass
with which to feed the cattle.

YANkS TAUGHT
To SEE RED

Paris, Sept. 14-Amerfcan soldiers
are being taught to "see red It's a
practice that is helping to make the
doubhboys such good fighters.
In a charge 1t is either the soldiers
life or his enemy's, SO nothing is left
to chance in this modern school of
war.
In large marquee behind the camp
some hundreds of soldiers are assem-
bled. 1t is easier to stir the emotions
of many than of a few, and the in
structor knows this.
The Instructor mounts the pkJt-
form, and In a clear voice begins his
lecture. Gradually he works on the
emotions of his audience till the at
moSphere seems to be e1ectricAny
charged. The men are seeing red
unconsciouSly their hands clasp, their
faces flush and they are ripe for bat
tie.
Then from behind the platform steps
a dapper non-commissioned officer. He
looks a mild little man. In his sand he
carries a rifle and bayonet.
The instructor introduces the n. c.
O., telling his hearers at the same time
to watch the little man carefully. In
flash he changes his whole appear
ance. He grips his rifle viciously, and
with shoulders hunched and eyes flash
ing he lungeS desperately forward,
bringing the cleaning sreels within
few inches of the instructors throat!
Snarling and sweating the n. G. o.
leaps about, frothing at the lips. The
soldiers can hear the labored breathing
Of tho man as he parties and thrusts,
throwing all his passion for blood into
a single jab.
The instructor raises his hand.
Magically the n. G. o. drops his rifle
and smilingly bows to his audience. In
few terse words the instructor tells
the soldiers how this particular n. G.
o. has shown them the art of seeing
red" The class files away to give
place to another. The new batch Of
soldiers arrives to learn this TERRIBLE
art Thus it goes on.

Generals and Giant Cannon Far
Away Win Victory by Telephone

Herewith is presented the sec
ond article in a series specially
written for this newspaper by
David Wark Griffith, sthe author
and moving picture director, who
has so recently returned from the
actual fighting front in France
and Belgium. Mr.. Griffith was
afforded opportunities to witness
the allied troops in action such as
no other civilian has been granted.
Following is a recital of some of
his personal experiences and OBJ
servations. Hearts of the World"
is being shown at the Brandeis
theater twice daily.
By DAVID WARK GRIFFITH,
who staged his latest master
piece, Hearts of the World" on
the battlefields of France).
Speaking generally, in modern
battle, the Learer you go the less
you see.
Men who saw Gettysburg and
Waterloo were thrilled with the
spectacle of cavalry laundering
across the line Of fire at full
gallop; of the charging infantry
moved down by shell fire on the
open plain. and generals on foam
covered horses, waving their
swords and rallying their troops.
Battle flags were captured and re-
cantured.
There is no such thrill in a
modern battle as the advance of
the Old Guard at Waterloo or any
thing like Pickett's charge at
Gettysburg.
From the front line trenches in
a modern battle you look out
across an open field of desolation.
THERE'S no enemy in sight-noth-
ing but ragged tangles of barbed
wire, shell holes, tumbled and torn
Ground with an occasional pitiful
heap of storm-stained clothing,
which shows where some poor fell
low lies unburied in No Mans
Land.
A modern battle is fought with
a fearful anonymity.
The infantry seldom see whom
they are shooting at.
The artillerymen never see their
targets. They sight the guns by
mathematics at the behest of air
men, who give signals as they go
weaving figure Fights through the
air.
The general on the foaming
charger is replaced by the crisp,
dry sputter of the wireless or by
the desk telephone.
Most of the generals do not ride
horseback at all. When they are
fighting battle, they sit in an Of
flee with an oil cloth map upon
which two craftsmen are at work
with water color paints laying in
the changing positions of the
troops.

her window.

The exciting news caused Peggy
to hustle all the faster and soon she

leaves into her hand, and she chewed
upon them, at the same time repeat
ing the charm, that went with them:
"Golickity slow, Golickity fast,
Oh when it comes fall, why sum-
mer is past"
The effect was that she was made
so small that she easil, fitted into the
toy airplane to which Billy Belgium
guided her. .

There is a new and terrible mys-
terry to it. Shells come from mo-
where and snuff out your life.
The actual front line trenches
are less interesting, although more
dangerous than the portions Of the
line, four or five miles back. :
As you 60 back from the front
line trenches, especially during a.
battle, the scene becomes more ac-
tive.
You are then with the guns. ,
The work of these guns is a ter.
rifle spectacle. | was permitted to
use one of the batteries as a set
ting for one of the scenes in y
"Hearts of the World"
There have been pictures whose
promoters boosted that the settings
had cost a million dollars. The set
tings for this picture would be
cheap at a billion.
In the artillery attack that !
spoke of we saw thirty-six guns
standing wheel to wheel roaring
out shrapnel and explosive shells.
Back by the guns you get into
the real sphere of interesting ac-
ton.
Ambulances are tearing along
the highways filled with wounded
men often screaming in their ag-
ony. Prisoners are being marched
by to the rear. Ammunition
wagons and ammunition mules are
hurrying to the front.
I met young professional man
who had left an office in London
to become a surgeon in the army.
He told me he hadn't had so much
time in years for outdoor recre-
alton. Like the. troops, he had oc-
casional periods of intensive work |;
then came periods of sport and liv-
ing in conditions by no means I'M
pleasant, with plenty of good food,
good clothing and pleasant COM
partnership.

France can console themselves with
the thought that, on the whole, it
was a pretty good experience for
their boy.

night and across the ocean to meet
the dawning day. Peggy closed her
eyes involuntarily When she open
ed them a second later it was to find
the sun brightly shining and the air
plane sailing slowly among feecy
clouds. A heavy pounding roar was
coming loudly from far beneath.
"France!" shouted Billy Belgium,
pointing downward. 1--WE are right
over big battle"
Peggy looked over the edge of the
airplane. Below the clouds was a
beautiful land bathed in the rosy
glow of early morning. At least the
land seemed beautiful at first glance,
but as Peggy's eyes became accus-
toned to the distance, she saw that
it was also a land of destruction,
with ruined villages and wrecked
buildings in every direction. AS she
looked the earth seemed splotched
with sudden bursts of flame and
smoke.
And as each of these bursts came,
something that had stood on the
place where it had stood would
abruptly vanish, tree, a house, a
barn, a church. With quick thrill,
Peggy realized that she was seeing
the work of the big guns.
"Whir-r-r-~ something ripped
past them. "Sque-ee-eep whistled
something in the opposite direction.

fire of "Whir-r-r-r's and "Squee-ee-s
