Of units Of the Ninetieth Division
The Ninetieth Division was an entity
and has won praise from foreign and
American army commanders for theii
heroic work in bloody battles in
France. But the designation OF
'"Ninetieth Division" has been used
FOR training thousands Of men who
have been assigned to other divisions.
Is name was kept as replacement
division and when men were suffi-
GENTLY trained they were sent over
seas from San Antonio and assigned
TO divisions embracing troops Of 9TH
er States. They were widely scat

in the Rainbow Division. made fam

American troops participated.
There were numbers of men in
Quoted from Texas who were not

were in deferred classes. but volun-
tarily entered the service in the fight
for freedom.
Within a short time Major John c.
Townes Jr., in charge of the selective
draft in Texas. will complete his re-
port and close his office. His final
figures will show some interesting
information. and, as Major Townes
told the writer. the returns will show
the valor Of Texans and constitute
one of the brightest and most chez

As yet the War Department has
furnished no figures on the number
Of Texans who were killed and wound
ed Until il does there are no rec
ords in this State which give any
idea Of Texas casualties.

This bright little soldier Just en-
listed for few brief years promised
his parents and friends rs well as the
waiting world a worthy service in his
life. Our little friend came to the
earth. January 10. 1915 and return
ed TO the home above. December 4.
1918. The brief visit he made to This
world was filled up with glory Of
ehildhoods innocence.
The light Of the pure and happy
world from which he came was new
er taken from his face while he re-
manned on esrth. lie lived but 70
spread JOY and gladness among his
loved ones and TO drive away the
gloom that sin and sorrow bring to
our hearts. His short life teaches US
what wondrous things may be done
by little children. They are our liz
tie preachers to point with their bs-
by hands the way Of love and life.
They do not worry over the things
that so fret and trouble u. Our
hearts are happier for every childish
form we have seen and for every
smile and act and word Of their little
lives
God gave TO Mr. and Mrs. James
{. Johnston this sweet bright flow
er that they might enjoy II for this
brief time and then he took /, TO
the holy home about where IL awaits
them. Grandparents and every rel
alive were the doting friends and
lovers Of this dear little man. They
are sad now but in the coming time
we shall learn our Fathers wisdom in
calling our dear ones hence and will
thank and praise him for his holy
ways.
These loving and bereaved parents
know that the Lord IN good and they
will trust him for all things and wait
his time to meet their darling in the
land where no shadows ever fall and
where we part no more.
Till then let US be busy doing all
we can to make the world a better
place to live.
Very tenderly and sympathetieaL

TEXAS MEN IN ARMY

Texas had 9Ss.O6S registrants un
der the selective draft system and
furnished an even 20O,O men Not
all of the latter were indicted thru
the draft. Several thousand were
voluntary enlistments and the others
in the National Guard units. II is
estimated that fully 100000 Texans
went overseas in the various branch
es of the service navy and
marines.
According TO the records Texas
furnished approximately ) per cent
of the American army. which IS no
small showing. While the draft per
centages were the same for the sew

cent Of the total registered. There
has been no classification of the Sep.

that the Provost Marshal General de.
