MEXICO s HUNS

Truth of Armistice

The Germans and their sympa-

since the signing Of the armistice, %
said R E White. a mining man OF Chi
huahua, now in FL Paso. I was in
that capital more than ten months and
such arrogance on the part Of the
Germans and their friends-it just had
TO be endured. that's all.
When the allied drive was well on
last July and the tide turned hard
against the Huns, then the Mexico
city Germans began to get sick. Since
the signing OF the armistice-welL
since then they have been sick sure
enough. It had been so that their ev-
cry look was an insult. Even yet they
and their papers in Mexico are pub
fishing that the Germans were not
whipped. that they had just agreed
TO the armistice for the sake of hu-
manity and that It had been modified
and remodified a. their instance and
in their favor.
Try to Forget.

CONDUCT OF SAILORS UP
TO NAVY'S BEST TRADITIONS

Washington, D. C.. Dec. 12-The
navy lived up to its best traditions
during the war and sailors almost
invariably conducted themselves bet
ter than in peace times. Despite the
large number OF men indicted into
service from civil life, which in
creased the naval force 13f percent.
there were fewer violations OF navy
regulations The percentage Of courts
martial decreased from 10 to I-I7 in
the navy and from 2.72 to 40 in the
marine corps
This record Of the sailors behavior
was revealed today in the annual re-
port Of Capt George r. Clark. Judge
advocate general, who also took oc-
casion to commend the improved con-
ditions in naval prisons. which he at
tributed largely TO the efforts OF the
welfare league.
Less promising results were noted

cent Of the men so released complet-
ing the period OF probation against

The Federal Court
indicates Our Policy

A business policy Of the jenkins Piano Co. has
been the subject of most searching inquiry during the
last few days and has been indicated in every detail
We never had any doubt about the outcome, for we
knew that no customer ever had anything but the
squarest of square deals from company and that
piano sold except strictly on its merits and
with those merits fully guaranteed.
So many of our good friends stepped forward and
offered to testify behalf that feel have not
reached them all with personal acknowledgment and
take this means of expressing our appreciation.
1t is matter for great pride that the u witnesses
called by the prosecution without single excep
ton satisfied buyers and did not hesitate to express
themselves. As one witness remarked, Il am more
than pleased and satisfied every day"
So many people have asked us, 'What are they try
ing to do with you anyway that word of explanation
may be IN season.
There has been great deal of trouble around the
country in the last years over sales put ON by
inerant piano houses today and in another state
tomorrow. Some of these companies have not dealt
fairly with buyers Others have violated the terms of
the United States lottery laws by their prize drawings
To meet these the Federal law was made very ex
acting, and rightly So
We approve of this law. We abide by it strictly
As to this particular sale it has been the custom
and policy of the Jenkins Piano Co. to offer each year
special discount to the purchasing public. The sale
der inquiry IN the Federal court was one of these period
ical offerings at which prices made unusually at
tractve for advertising purposes 1t has been made
matter of court record that during this sale all credit
coupons represented their full face value and that
sold pianos very nearly at cost, means of making
new friends and extending the well deserved reputation
of the house.
Year in and year out we sell pianos for Just what
they are; back them up with abundant commercial
guarantee and our only offence to be that we sell
1OpianOs where our competitors sell one and consequent
~ can keep the margin of profits very low AS matter
of fact evidence it shown in court last week that
"a Of the 80 pianos sold during the period under dis
cussiOn net profit between Sc and 81 per in
strment which is very small indeed compared to the
ordinary profits of any business entaing like invest
ment and risk.
We are confident that these facts were not known
to Government representatives when the case was be-
gun Otherwise they would have been misled by
the tales Of jealous competitors.
The Jenkins Piano Co. has been in business in Ell
Paso for IA years. and it is most gratifying that of all
the customers have served in these IA years not
single forward to complain of the methods
and policy Of the house, to reflect in any way upon
the good faith and fair dealings Of Mr. jenkins or Mr.
Barnes.
Any annoyance that we have suffered in the last
week balance off against the satisfaction of
the very complete vindcaton of our business methods
and personal standing

Dear Friend-This is the life; very
cold here compared to Arizona, but
the weather is splendid. We are
camped in Menlo park-full of live
oaks and grass.
No uniform as yet, as l am in quar-
antine. We have wooden floor tents,
with a sheetiron salamander in each,
and plenty of bedding, good food, and
plenty of it. The officers are a kindly
mild sort; not at all supercilious.
must admit, though, that Friday even
ing my thoughts turned Hayward and
dancing. Not homesick, but reminis-
cent. The eleven hundred mile ride
up here was very enjoyable.
The Y. M. c. A. is wonderful agent
here. An agent for amusement and
wholesome recreation. Friday evening

on this quarantine "Y" there is music.
Taking all things into consideration,
