the Mexican border:
To The People Of America:
"Amcrica, England, France, Now "a
One"
we all must remember war was once
in our land.
Who was it came and gave us a kind
helping hand?
1t was the French. Yes the French
so kind-heartcd and true,
That helped US to establish the Red,
White and Blue.
Now, France, has been tortured, to-
mented with grief,
And there are many, SO many who long
to see peace.
Their sons have fought bravely for at
least four long years,
And still they are lighting, yes fghtir :
with cheers.
We that are here, are the only ones
that knows,
What this little country has suffered
from the damnable blows
OF the Germans, the Turks, the Aus
trians too.
But now we can protect them with
the Red, White and Blue.
No never. no never, shall peace ever
come
Until Germany has been conquered by
the bravery of our sons.
America, England, France, all now as
one,

PERMANENT ARMY CAMP.

war department Plans to Add I'M
mcnsc Tract to Artillery Range, Call
ing for Expenditure of Huge Sum for
Buildings-FcrmancIny OF Estab-
fshmcnt Now Apparently Assured.

washington, July 26.-The war de-
partmcnt today accepted the proposal
OF certain persons in Columbia to lease
a large tract of land for an artillery
range near Camp Jackson. This tract
runs along the Percival Road to the
Leesburg Road covering Il distance Of
~ or IL miles and containing not
less than 12,500 acres.
In the opinion of the authorities
this will give one of the largest artil-
lery ranges i'm the United States. This
land is said to be ideal for the pur-
pose, is just what the war department.
has been looking for and meets all tho
requirements of the situation.
Not long ago an inspection Of this
land waY made and all of it was gone
over with Il view of determining
whether it was what was needed for
for the contemplated enlargement of
Camp Jackson. After this inspection
was made it was agreed that this site
would satisfy all requirements, and
with today's announcement that the
lease has been closed the next step
Will be the erection of such additional
buildings as may be necessary.
When asked as to the extent of
these buildings ii was stated that the
contract had not yet been closed but
would be either tomorrow or during
the early part of the coming week.
While no specific statement was made
In advance of the signing of the
building contract it was said that it
Will involve much additional cOnstruc-
tion work in order to fit the range for
its purposes.
When the contract is let and the
buildings erected, Camp Jackson will
then compare favOrably with any or
all of the largest artillery camps in the
country.
The authorities here today seemed
well satisfied with what has already
been accomplished at Camp Jackson
and were enthusiastic regarding the
new developments taking place there.
1t Is the beginning of substantial
and permanent enlargement.
