TEXANS KNEW. OF GERMAN

lions made in Washington that Ger
mans virtually controlled the wireless
stations in Mexico was not news to
American officials on the border here.
IT was known for two years that the
Germans had an elaborate system of
wireless communication in Mexico and
news of German victories would be re-
ceived in northern Mexico as soon as
it reached the United States, the wire
less stations relaying it throughout
Mexico. Much information of mill
tary value was also known to have
been sent through Mexico to Germany
by these wireless plants. The Ger
man-manned wireless stations in Mex
leo caused much interference to the
American army wireless operators by
the air full of wireless waves,
operators at Fort Bliss said. Many
military messages were picked up by
the American border wireless stations.

CAMP LEWIS
RANKS VERY HIGH
PRESIDENT LINDLEY GIVES IN
TERESTING FACTS CONCERN-
ING ARMY CAMP I

Camp Lewis was the most intelli-
gent army camp in the United States
according to a statement made by DR..
E. H. Lindley, president of the Uni
versity of Idaho, who has made a
careful study of the results of the
United States army intelligence tests,
Similar tests are to be instituted in
the University of Idaho.
SOLDIERS in Camp Lewis are typi-
cal of the northwest" according to
President Lindley, "and the results
of these tests Indicate the high av-
erage intelligence of the northwest
erners.'
Expert psychologists were engaged
by the government to test the intelli-
gence of the men. These tests were
given during the two weeks quraan-
tine period before the recruits were
assigned their permanent positions in
the army. Check tests given officers
and men who were designated by in
structors as showing ability indicate
that the tests were accurate to a sur
prising degree.
Men were divided Into eight grades
according to their intelligence. Grades
of A and B show a very superior in
Why tCI W tWSiFS ~
cent Of every draft quota received
this grade. Men who are of this type
were of very high officer material
if they were endowed with the ability
of leadership.
Grades of C-plus, c and C-minus,
show average intelligence. Men re-
ceiving this grade were good non
commissioned officer material and
good p~rivates. Grades below these
show very inferior mental equipment
and men receiving these grades were
assigned to special duty or recon-
mended for discharge.
The high intelligence of the men
Camp Lewis is indicated by the
fact that 1916 per cent received a
grade Of A or B. Camp Lewis had
nine times as many men of marked in
telligence as any camp in the United
States. Only g of M per cent of
the men at this camp were below c..
Purposes of the tests were to Sc
lect men whose mental equipment
suggested that they be sent to officer
training camps, to discover those who
we're slow as contrasted with the stub
born and disobedient; and to discover
who are a burden or a menace
the service.

GERMAN TORPEDO
SUNK THE TAMPA
MYSTERY OF LOST AMERICAN
CONVOY SHIP is SOLVED BY
ESCAPED PRISONERS

LONDON.-(The Associated Press
The claim that the United States
ship, Tampa, was sunk by the Ger
man submarine U-53 is based upon
assertions by the officers of the u
boat that they had sunk on the day
the Tampa was lost an American es-
did not know. The Tampa was sent
to the bottom in the Bristol channel
off the English coast on September
26 with her whole company of 1l8
officers and men. No other American
warship or escort vessel was sunk on
that day.
The German claim to have sunk the
Tampa was brought here by Lieuten-
ant F. L. Miller and Lieutenant J. H.
Fulcher, formerly of the Ticonderoga
who were taken prisoner on board the
U-125 when that submarine sank their
ship. During their Imprisonment the
U-152 lay alongside the U-53 in the
Cattegat and the two Americans
talked with the officers and men of
the U-53. 1t was then that they
heard the German story. The Ger
mans, according to the two lieuten-
ants, assumed that the Tampa was
their victim. American naval officers
here are inclined to think the Ger
mans may be mistaken. On the day
when the Tampa was sunk a torpedo
was fired from a submerged subma-
rine at the American destroyer, Ches-
ter, but the aim was faulty. The
Chester Immediately dropped several
lepth-charges. The American officers
are of the openioh that the Germans
believe their aim had been true and
they mistook the explosion of
ire of the opinion that the Germans

The Tampa was out of sight of
,ther American vessels when she was
destroyed. She had left a convoy
'ound for France and soon afterward
hose on board the vessels of the con-
-oy heard a terrific explosion. De-
troyers found wreckage of the boats
nd two unidentified men but no sur
ivors. 1t has never been ascertained
whether the Tampa was destroyed

MISS GRAY'S COMMUNICATION.
Miss Ruth Gray, whose article in
the contribution Box" stirred Mos
COW friends and relatives of soldiers
to a great extent, says her article
was misinterpreted and that she did
not intend to attack nor speak dis
paragingly of the soldiers. We are
very glad to know this, but her ar
ticle was interpreted by every n
who read it as an attack upon all
soldiers who criticized the Y. M. c.
A. In a communication published to-
day she denies that this was her in
tent.
After the article written Tor sign

editor was called upon in person and

let that go unanswered" and criti-
cising US for having published any
thing hat appeared to reflect on the
soldiers as this did. The interpre-
tation put upon the article by the
editor was the Interpretation of prac-
every one else who read it.

LISTEN TO THE CHOIR.

We are informed by an es-
Unable public official that at
Monterey recently a number
of Mexicans joined him in
singing the Star Spangled Ban
ner. This fact he presents as
proof that the Mexicans are ali
amiable people and do not
make border raids.
Unfortunately, the best that
it can prove is that there are
some Mexicans who do not
make border raids-while they
are singing the Star Spangled
Banner with this estimable Of
fetal. But while they were
thus fraternizing there w--e
other Mexicans who were muir
dering an American and sub
jecting his wife to gastly bru-
talities.
1t does not prove that all
Mexicans are amiabie. 1t does
not prove that any of them are.
Singing the Star Spangled Ban
ner is not proof of a lofty i'm
pulse 1t may be camouflage.
But, at best, what is the use of
a few of them singing the S. S.

WORK FOR THE SOLDIER.

BY far the greater part OF
our young men coming home
from the war are strong and
well. Outdoor life, plain
hearty food and vigorous ply.
steal exercise have combined to
builo up their physique.
Many of them who were in
door workers before the war
find that the abundant vigoi
they have gained inspires them
toward life in the open. For
men of this inclination the
farms of the country offer an
excellent opportunity.
The working season is on
and the farmers are calling for
help. They are willing to pay
wages that are comparatively
high, when We consider that
room and board are included.
Necessary expenses are few, so
that young man could save
nearly all of his wages. And
in the meantime he is living a
wholesome life and is securing
a knowledge of practical farm
ing which in the future may he

of his own the information
which he has gained about sill
and location will aid him in his
selection and prevent him from

We would recommend to the
young man who is doubtful
about his employment to take
into consideration farm work.
He will az least have well pay
ing work for several months,
which will leave him as husky
as he is at present. And by
that time there may be larger

kind than there is now.
