Remodeling of the branch house

feet of cold storage space, and the

gin next week

of San Antonio. specialists in refrig-
Grating plants.
1t means that the Houston Packing
Company is here TO stay, that it has
confidence in Brownsville and the
Brownsville section.
The branch house is : distributing
point for the products Of the Houston
Packing Company-fresh meats, pre-
served and canned meats and by-pro-
ducts-in the Lower Rio Grande Val
ley. 1t was first established here i'm
1915, when there was a heavy troop
concentration and later a national
guard concentration Of 10000 sol
diers in the Valley After the troops
were removed the prospects of fur
ther business here were not favorable
and the branch house was closed.
In July 1917 it was reopened as an
experiment. The company did not
know whether the Brownsville sec
tion was TO grow or TO dwindle. Mr.
Lange was sent here TO reopen the
brunch. He studied the prospects
for the future of a packing business
here and, when he had formed his
opinion, at once tffged the company
to build for the future that he could
see coming. The. business he and
his sales force cid IN the Valley
backed up his assertions.
Last December the Houston Pack
ing Company decided TO stay IN
Brownsville. The firm bought the
old Consumers Ice company's build
ing, which they were using as ware
house, and with ii four city lots.
Now they have decided to take the
final step for permanency and install
a cooling plant where they may store

great confusion always results. Ii il
for this reason that reliefs are ac-
complished at night and with great
precautions for secrecy. BY design or
chance the Hun delivered an attack
just at the time Lieutenant Faulk's
company was taking over the sector.
Only through the cool-headedness of
some Of the French and some Of the
American officers and men was a
catastrophe averted.
When Lieutenant Faulk's company
was relieved and returned TO rest bill

Has Not Definitely Com

While sentiment in the German
cabinet is reported almost unanimous
against signing the treaty, official
Germany has not definitely commit

terms. German leaders held an ex-
tended conference at Weimar yester-
day and the amended terms were ex-

Opinion in Paris il divided as to
the eventual attitude Of the Germans.
1t is believed, however, that the Ger
mans, knowing certain the results
Of a refusal to sign, will agree to
sign.
Those familiar with the changes in
the treaty say the Germans can, il
they wish, make it appear they gain
ed concessions by the negotiations.
In the meantime, Marshal Foch,
commander in chief OF the allied ar
mics, has issued orders preparatory
to an advance forward from the
Rhine. The American forces are
ready to start at a moments notice
