HINDENBURG's EXCUSE FALSE.
Not Famine but Army Collapse
Was Cause OF Surrender.

PARIS. Nov. 16.--"Field Marshal Won
H!ndenburg in his message TO the Ger
man army said that the threat OF fam
inc caused tho acceptance of the armis-
tice," says Marcel Hutin OF the Echo de
Paris. Although food difficulties played
a part In the defeat Of Germany the de-
terminlng cause OF the German collapse
was the fact that the enemy's army was
on the brink OF disaster.
"The first words the German plenipo-
tentiaries said to Marshal Eoch were, in
substance: 'GerTnany's army IL at your
mercy, Marshal. Our reserves OF men
and munitions are completely exhausted,
making It impossible for us TO continue

TO PLAN A UNION
 PATRIOTIC MEETING

l Plans are being made for a big l Union Patriotic Mass Meeting to be held at one of the Churches in the in terest of the War Savings Stamp and Thrift Stamp campaign, the details of which will be announced later. Mrs. w. s. Richardson, in charge of 1 the women Of this county in this cam paign, has organized several Saw ings Societies in the past few days among the ladies and is doing much toward creating an organization in this county. The War Savings and Thrift Campaign, it must be borne in mind, lasts the entire year, and as Hot Spring County's quota is $333,- 900, it may easily be seen that to reach this enormous sum it will be necessary to keep alive the interest in the Thrift movement Much good work has already been accomplished, but not one-fifth of the field has been covered. There are thousands of idle dollars in Hot Spring County that should be loaned to the Government for the prosecution of this war, and every dollar helps just that much to- ward the end.
 The stamps are on sale at every Postoffice in the County. The Banks have them and every banker will en- dorse them as the best, simplest and soundest investment possible at this time. They are also on sale at Lee Miller X Sons Drug Store.
 We've got a good start, but let's not be satified with anything less than our full quota of these stamps.
 No one can truthfully prophecy the times after this war has come to an end. A period of readjustment is bound to take place. This readjust- ment period may mean prosperity and it may not. If Hot Spring County has safely tucked away in her jeans S333,000 of these government bonds it is safe to say that the people can weather the storm until the silver lining of prosperity again shows itself on the horizon.

LETTER FROM
 J. E. RUTHERFORD

1 am working ln the Headquarters of my section and have a good job. Of course the hours are long, but I am not out in the rain and mud, and am not using the pick and shovel as quite number of the boys are doing The work I am doing here will help me to get good place when I am as- signed to squadron.
 There are three flying fields in Camp Kelly. Wm. Murry and I are in Kelly field, No. 1.
 Men who are here are trade tested or examined in order that they may be placed in the line of work they know something about. After being trade tested they are assigned to sec tions of the field according to trades. Clerks go to Section 5, Mechanics to Section II, etc. When an Aero Squadron is to be formed the requir- ed number of clerks is down from our section, the required number of me- chanics from the other section, etc Some of the boys do not pass the tests and are classed as U. s. L. (Un- skilled labor.) The tests are oral most cases, but if they think fel- low is putting himself in a class in which he does not belong, they have him demonstrate his ability in that work. In this way men are placed where they can do the best work. I think it is wise idea. Don't you? There are 150 men in an Aero Squadron. A Squadron leaves here in command of only two officers. but more are added before it crosses the "pond.
 There are supply squadrons, repair squadrons, service or flying squadron and possibly others, for all I know.
 The service or flying squadron has nineteen officers, twelve of them fliers. The fliers are Second Lieut.. There are thirty-six machines for us. am sending you picture of one of the old type of planes. No pictures of the newer types can be se- cured
 We are having some very fine weather here. The rainy season has just begun. The mud is fierce" You probably know how Texas mud sticks. The rain is not heavy so we don't mind it. One week I did not wear my coat at all and fact you don't need one more than one day or pos sibly two days out of each week When cold wave comes it comes in a hurry
 When it is dry, the dust is not very pleasant here. 1 have eaten more dirt since I came to Texas than had eaten in all my previous years.
 We have a dust storm once in a while and when we do it seems that half of Texas is on your face and in your eyes. Lookout boys here comes Texas" is cry that causes tent flaps to be closed and makes stragglers hunt cover.
 Our food is pretty good. Nearly every fellow has gained in weight since he came here. am ten pounds heavier than was when I came here. Camp life is not a picnic by any means, but I am enjoying it anyway, A fellow soon learns to laugh and "plod" on through rain or shine. Some fellows become discouraged, but l think this is because they do not look at the bright side of things. You can see what you choose
