Mr. Hoover said the exertion of the

“there will be no need during the

simple colonel and has revealed him-

battle of Allette in November. 1517,
where, with his army corps, he cap-

By reason of the location of the seat of government,
the State University and the various eleemosynary insti-
tutions. Travis County necessarily has more to ask from
each succeeding legislature than any other county in the
State; and liberal appropriations for the various depart-
ments of state, our great university and asylums, it is a
matter of vital importance to every citixen of Travis
County, especially tradesmen and producers, as all the
money appropriated for these institutions is expended in
our midst. 4 ’
As a plain business proposition our business and com-
mercial interests have urged Hon. George Mendell, Jr., to
again make the race for the legislature, on account of his
knowledge of legislative machinery, and the valuable ex-
perience he has obtained, so far as appropriations are con-
cerned, for Austin institutions. The business interests
know that he will be far more valuable to Austin in the
legislature than someone who has never had legislative ex-
perience.
During each of his three terms Mr. Mendell has been a
member of the House Appropriation Committee, and was
Vice Chairman of the Committee in the last House. The
Committee Appropriation Bil in the 33rd Legislature car-
ried $7,500,000 that was expended in Travis County. The
Committee Bill of the 34th Legislature carried $8,000,000
that was expended in Travis County, and, the Committee
Bill of the last Legislature carried $10,000,000 that is now
being expended in Travis County and the City of Austin.
Mr. Mendell succeeded in getting the. streets paved
along State property, and the last House Bill provided for
paving East First street in front of State property, but
this item was eliminated in the Senate. The new Land
Office Building is the result of the labors of Mr. Mendell in
the House Committee. He was a member of the Conference
Committee that prepares! the Educational Appropriation
Bill, and checked it over with President Vinson and Gov-
ernor Hobby when it was approved.
As a plain business proposition, can an untried or an
untrained man render to the people the same kind and
character of service that Mr. Mendell is capable of render-
ing. both on account of his ability and his experience?
During the last Special Session Mr. Mendell voted
for every bill to place Texas on a war basis, including
all measures prohibiting the sale of liquor, and as a re-
sult. prohibition or anti-prohibition is no longer a political
issue.
Mr. Ferguson wants Mr. Mendell defeated because he
voted to impeach him.
We urge you to vote for and use your influence for the
re-election of George Mendell, Jr.

ber crude. >1.50, Billings crude. 75

Healdton crude. 80 cents.
It was agreed that Healdton pro-

days in which to show cause why
the 50-cent premium should be
changed, if they so deal red.
In all other crudes for the mid-
continent division, including Kansas.
Oklahoma and northern Texas, a
minimum premium not to exceed 26
cents per barrel, with the rule that
where the premiums now paid are
less than this maximum, the oil ad-
ministrator is to make the price now
paid the maximum.
The committee recommended that
all contracts for crude oil made in
the future should contain this pro-
vision:
“That all parties to this contract
agree that this contract shall be
subject to cancellation or assignment
in whole or in part at any time upon
request or order of the president of
the United States or the United States
fuel administrators or of the director
general of the oil division of the fuel
admilustration, acting under the au-
thority of the president.”
The new regulations will not af-
fect any contracts now in existence
unless the fuel administration feels
the contract is contrary to the poli-
cy he outlined in his letter of May
17, 1515.
The committee suggests that all
orders and agreements as to the di-
version of oil from its existing chan-
nels shall first be submitted to the
advisory committee of the producers
and refiners.
The recommendation to the oil ad-
ministration is that the prices and
regulations suggested shall be effec-
tive immediately and remain so un-
til Nov. 1, 1515, and thereafter at
the determination of the oil division.
Mr. Requa followrng his policy
of permitting the oil men to manage
the industry with reference to local
complaints, has turned over several
matters for the advisory committees
to decide.
“These complaints, it is felt.” the
committee says, “will be adjusted
within a reasonable time and work
of the committee will be directed
towards a speedy and satisfactory set-
tlement of the questions involved.”
Questions involving deep sand pro-
duction in the Okmulgee fields and
producing at Healdton are early mat-
ters to be considered by the com-
mittee.
tional program of barge contruction
as an adjunct to the nation’s rail
transportation system was put under
way today.
At a conference of representatives
of the war industries board and
other government agencies with
Cl airman Hurley of the shipping
board, it was decided that the prior-
ities committee of the war industries
board should appoint immediately
an expert to decide priorities of ma-
terial for barge construction.
Mr. Hurley said Director General
Schwab of the emergency fleet cor-
poration would organize a depart-
ment to build tugs and barges and
the war and navy departments and
the railroad administration will ap-
point experts to direct the develop-
ment of barge transportation.
Chairman Hurley's suggestion that
barges be of standard design so as
to faciliate their manufacture was
accepted, but it was announced that
where orders for barges already have
been placed, as in the case of barges
for the Erie Canal, there will be no
change in design.
The priorities committee decided
to release a quantity of steel at once
for building Mississippi river barges
while steel for additional sea going

NEW YORK, July 25.—General
De Goutte, the victor of Chateau
Thierry, who shares with Generals
ths struggle which began
March 51 with the first German drive
has come to be known.
The employment of the swift mov-
ing mounted column in the present
counter stroke from the Alsne-Mai ns
lino has been noted in the dispatches.
Again General Foch took ad vantage
of tne great mobility of the mounted
arm to throw them in wherever his
advancing infantry units threatened I
to lose touch with each other in the
heat and confusion ot the contest
No gaps have been left where the
enemy might strike back, for always
the horsemen came up to fill the
hole until the infantry line could
be rectified and connected in a solid
front.
Picardy Tactics Repeated.
The name tactics marked the first
use of French cavalry in the battlej
of Picardy when the French took
over eighty-eight kilometers of front
from the British to permit the latter
to mass reserves at seriously threat-*
ened points of the line farther north
A French cavalry corps complete!
with light artillery, armored cars and;
cyclists, arrived first on the scene
in Picardy and relieved the British.
They fought it out afoot until the
heavy French infantry arrived and
took over the task
Three days later, the horsemen
were on the move again, this time
hurrying to the front where the ene-
my was hitting hard at the Lys line-
The cavalry rode hard as the ad-’,
vance guard of the French infantry ;
columns marched toward St. Omar.
In the first twenty-fours, despite
the long strain of fighting in Picardy
they covered 125 kilometers without
losing a man or a horse on the way
In sixty-six hours they had'trans-
ferred their whois corps over 200
kilometers and arrived east of Mont
Cassel.
Held Line for Ten Daya.
The cavalry corps stood in support^
of the British for ten days in April
after the enemy had forced the line

phone lines would be interferred with
only for the. purpose of facilitating
their connection with longer lines.
No general policy, the postmaster
general said, haa yet been decid-
ed on.
President's Proclamation.
President Wilson’s proclamation
after quoting the law by which con-
gross authorized him, says:
“Whereas, it is deemed necessary
for the national security and de-
fense to supervise and to take pos-
session and to assume control of all
telegraph and telephone systems and
to operate the same in such manner
as may be needful or esirable.

telegraph and telephone system and
every part thereof within the juris-
diction of the United States, includ-
ing all equipment thereof, and ap-

“It is hereby directed that tho su-

taken shall be exercised by the
postmaster general, Albert S. Burle-
