Allies had she had thern. He elabor-
aUes this opinion into declaring that
we fave. the occupancy Of German
territory by negro troops under the
direction of the French
There is nothing in our comment
to Justify such a conclusion. We hold
no brief for France, but we do reit-

troops and was in the same position

as our friend alleges, are being enact

on the Rhine. This is evident when
one recalls the horrible crimes which
we're committed by the Germans

One of the display windows Of the

/ TRAIN SERVICE.

L. - X hAlN DEN FltC.
Two weeks ago The Chief called at
tention to the abominablc service
which the Texas and Pacific rai.rcad
is giving the pubic by failure to
operate its trains on time, particular-
~ those coming from the west, cit
ing that in many cases these trans
are from thirty minutes to three and
four hours late. 1t was also shown
that careless or slipshod methods were
used in informing the travelling pub-
l1c as to just how many minutes the
trains were late; that at times after
the traveller had waited long hours
in the depot, he would be informed
that the train was many more minu-
tes, and even hours additionally de-
layed.
Although these facts were brought
to the attention of certain Of the Off
GERS of the railroad, there appears to
have been no improvement made in
the service, as during the past two
weeks the prevailing irregularity Of
trains on this road has continued,
man many being behind schedule from
!chlrty minutes to three hours, and
