threatened breaks have been reported
along the course Of the "Old Muddy"
Belated reports from the San An

ing, indicating that the flood waters in
the Lower Valley came in below that
point. Flood stage at Laredo is % feet.

Discipline is a difficult thing to de-

the trust and loyalty in them which
should be the case in any undertaking.
In time of war, conditions have to
