ing vice.
Discharges from service should be Civ
en- at the point Of entrance. If soldier
went into service through registration
board, there is where he should leave it.
The official agency that prepared the
way for his service should welcome him
home, give him some token Of his worth,
and continue to see that his life is not be-
set by the hazards Of sudden readjust-
ment.
It should be no more trouble for the
war department to order discharges at
exemption headquarters than in canton
ments. Men received in the environments
have only to be kept under orders and
directed to return, still as soldiers Of the
army, to their points Of induction Here
they can be honorably discharged among
their friends and will receive the greet
ing and welcome due them. They were
sent into service with celebration. Let
them be so returned.
Half million men suddenly released
from camps over the United States may
not all get back to their home districts
without unfortunate adventures But
the degree Of certainty will be increased
If the war department simply undoes
what it has done. It does not seem eff
cient to work out fine plan Of action
only to drop it when the end has been
achieved. Broadly speaking, the war de-
partment is sending the soldiers home,
VT the manner is haphazard and not IN
keeping with the diligence with which
the men were called Chicago Tribune.

THE END NOT IN SIGHT

The rehabilitation Of the army will be
q Severer test of the morale Of the coun-
try than that which was incident to plac-
ing it in the field "The war is over" will
be the cry that will come. from every
home, land my boy should be sent home"
1t is question whether the people gen.
orally will be as deeply interested in ad-
justing the affairs Of Europe as they
were in whipping the kaiser.
Yet, at this time, the end is not in sight.
The war has ended at most unfortun-
ate season Europe Begins the winter
with 9, food shortage which in ordinary
times would be regarded as famine.
The Austrian empire has collapsed and
the cables indicate that there is revolu-
ton in Germany. The same condition
exists throughout Russia and the Bal
kans. Only by strict ration system can
continental Europe be fed. According
to reliable information the allies are vir-
tually demanding that the United States
army take hold Of the situation. 6
Those who are acquainted with the
present condition of Europe do not be-
lieve that the American army as q whole
can be relieved from service in Europe
within year. THIS means that q large
part Of the war machinery Of the United
States must be Kept in motion for at least
q year. AS stated in another column o.
fcers who are on duty at Washington,
who are anxious to return to civil life,
have been informed that their services
will be required for at least year. and
q hall, This win not apply to all officers
but q large proportion Of those who ex-
pect to leave the service will be retained
Tor q year or more. The same IS true as
to enlisted men, and it will be some time
before there Is q material reduction In
the strength Of the Expeditionary Fore

the heels of the successful bond election
in Brownsville comes the announcement
from the county commissioners court that
a county bond election will be called To
10 the county line. This road will be
Cameron county's part of the national
highway To extend from the Gulf of Mex
leo 10 CALIFORNIA;.
The highway will be financed in part by
the federal government, in part by the
state and in part by the counties through
which il passes. The road will extend
from Brownsville through San Benito and
Harlingen, connecting with the Valley road
and through to Lyford, Raymondville To
the north county line where it will con
meet with the Corpus Christi road.
The decision of the commissioners court
was reached at a session of the court held
last Monday but, not wishing to cause
confusion with the Brownsville improve
ment bond issue nothing was sand of il un-
til after yesterdays election The election
will be held on October 4
Through n readiustment of the county
tax rate the road bond will add nothing 10
the tax burden. The commissioners re-
duced the general tax rate from 50 cents
where it has been for the past several
years to % cents. The bond issue will
call for fifteen cent tax. thus bringing
the rate back 10 normal. The reduction
in the normal tax rate will be made pos
sible because of the decreased cost of
maintaining "A permanent highway a.
against the cost of maintaining a public
highway.
The money voted for this road bonds
will be spent under the supervision OF the
federal and state highways commission.

BIG MAJORITY GIVEN CITY BOND ISSUE
Brownsville Goes On Record
AS Favoring Progress By A
Three To One Vote For Issue

The Improvement bond issue has ear
ried.
Brownsville yesterday went on record
a. favoring larger. healthier. more san
ltary, more beautiful city. by giving q
large majority To- the S350.0O0 improve
ment bond issue. When the polls closed
last night II was found that 1G5 votes had
Deen cast IN favor Of the issue and that
% votes had been cast. against II. ma
Jorlty OF slightly more than three to one.
Although the success Of the election was
taken by supporters of the issue 10 Be q
matter of course. the size Of the majority,
IN the light Of the opposition which deveI-
oPed on the eve OF the election. was es-
pecially gratifying.
Practically, if not all, Of the votes east
m favor Of the Issue were unanimous IN
support of every one of the propositions
outlined. The Issue called for money 10
pave the streets, improve and extend the
water. hight and sewerage lines. 10 build
an abattoir. TO improve the public market
10 improve Washington Park. the build
Of levee
With these improvements established
Brownsville will rank in municipal facili
ties with any city it size in the United
States. The Improvements are all Of a ma
ture that meets with the approval Of the
army and will have an important bearing
upon the governments proposed re-estab-
li>hment of Fort Brown and the expendi-
ture Of large sums Of money
Members of the City Commission are
naturally greatly elated over the success Of
the issue. Il think every man in Browns
vile, i in reality in favor Of the issue"
said member Of the commission today.
Even those who voted against il we're
not enemies Of civic progress, they we're
merely mistaken in their reasoning. The
only objection raised was that a bond is
sue at this time might interfere with the
prosecution of the war. although had they
been fully informed. they would have
known that the improvements we asked
were endorsed by the military authorities.
Feeling n they did. however. their willing
ness to sacrifice the improvement or their
own town and the enhancement Of the val
ues Of their own property was a COM
mendable, though mistaken patriotism"
The commissioners will leave no stone un-
turned TO speed up the preparation and
sale Of the bonds and the starting Of the
Improvement program.
