With two days of the campaign to

allotted quota of $7,000. We are in-

Austin, Texas, November 12.—Now
that the armistice has /been signed
.and a consequent cessation of hos-
tilities, the question has arisen here,
as to whether or not this automatical-
- ly repeals the 10-mile zone law passed
•as a strictly war measure at the last
special session of the Thirty-Fifth'
legislature. It is pointed out that the!
law does not say that it shall remain! quota,

The United States civil service com-
mission has announced an examina-
tion to be held at Bay City, Texas, on
December 14, 1918, as a result of
which it is expected to make certifi-
cation to fill a contemplated vacancy
in the position of fourth-class post-
master at Pledger, and other vacan-
cies as they may occur at that office,
unless it shall be decided in the in-
terests of the service to fill any va-
cancy by reinstatement. The com-
pensation of the postmaster at this
office was $321 for hte last fiscal
year.
Applicants must have reached their
twenty-first birthday on the date of
the examination, with the exception
that in a State where women are de-
clared by statute to be of full age for
all purposes at eighteen years, women
eighteen years of age on the date of
the examination will be admitted.
Applicans must reside within the
territory supplied by the post office
for which the examination is an-
nounced.
The examination is open- to all cit-
izens of the United States who
comply with the requirements.
Application blanks, form 1753, and
full information concerning • the re-
quirements of the examination can be
secured from the postmaster at the
place of vacancy or from the United
States civil service commission,
Washington, D. C.
Applications should be properly
executed and filed with the commis-
sion at Washington, D. C„ at the ear-
liest practicable date.
Though the Texas Cavalry will very
likely be disappointed in its ambition
to see fighting overseas, there is a
good ’ chance for the organization to
go ov.er for reconstruction work, thus
relieving organizations which have
been in the line since the first Amer-
ican contingnent landed, and which
are to be ordered home.
This was the ideal conveyed when
Brigadier General Jake Wolters came
to Houston Saturday. General Wol-
ters was accompanied by Majors W.
N. Mayfield and John Towles. The
trio was lean and burned dbrown,
showing the good effects of the rig-
orous training program at Camp
Stanley.
On January 2, General Wolters will
take the Second and Seventh regi-
ments to Brownsville. Colonel Ben
Lear commands the Seventh and Col-
onel Fitzhugh Lee the Second. The
Thrid Regimtent will go to Del Rio.
Colonel Meade was slated to be its
commander, but a severe siege of in-
flueza at Camp Stanley incapacitated
him for active service. The training
period will expire December 8, and
all hands will be permitted to spend
the holidays home. General Wolters
expects to have a combative organiza-
tion ready for anything in ten weeks
after the First Brigade mobilizes.
Houston has about 75 men in the Sev-
enth Reigiment.
Members of the Texas Cavalry are
busy speculating on what is to hap-
pen to them after the peace terms are
signed. They did not enlist for the
duration of the war, but for three
years. Whether, after peace comes,
they are to be retained and be given
border service for an indefinte period
t—hat is the question.
------o—o-------
The American army hasordered
from one packer 99,500,000 pounds of
bacon and 134,000,000 pounds of other
meats. To fill the order will require
1,900,000 hogs.
The allies have captured 254,000
prisoners on the western front within
two and one-half months, and it is es-
timated that 1,000,000 other Huns were
killed or wounded.

the armistice is an end to the war,
and therefore the United States is not
now actually at war with any foreign
nation.
On the other hand Assistant Attor-
ney General W. A. Keeling, who looks
after the violation of the liquor laws,
is inclined to the position that the
law remains in operation until the
demobilization of the army or so long
as the soldiers remain in canton-
ments. Should this position be main-
tained, it may be several months or a
year before there is a general demo-
bilization and the men in the camps
are either discharged or furloughed
from further service.
With the automatic suspension of
' the zone law, there would be several
of the larger cities in Texas that
would become “wet,” provided retail
liquor dealers would be granted per-
mits by the comptroller. Comptrol-
ler Terrell declined to discuss this
phase of the sitaution at the present
time, as the higher court has not as
yet acted on the motion for rehearing
in the statewide case.
