CITIZEN SPEAKS ON AIM
OF NEW ESPLANADE PARK
Some People lime MMsbcn Idea As
To CohkcsIIoh of Park b)
Large Multitude
Said one who is clearly Identified
with the new park movement In Abi-
lene auent the opinion of some with
reference to its Inadequate urea:
"Did you know there uro pcopla In
Abtleiiy who look upon the little pari;
being established near the Texas and
Pacific railway station as a Joke?
Well If they would give a little stud)
to '.be matter they would look at th"
eltu.li on cu another Hue.
"For Instance some people have
said that tho park was too small atid
that It can not possibly cater to the
'multitudes' tha will constantly b-
thoro. The fact of the mutter Is that
these 'multitudes' of which these peo-
ple speak will never bo seen there. 1
do not say this dlsparlngly of the park
for. In my opinion it will bo one or
the best moves we have ever made.
Hut I say It from observation In other
cities. Very f?w parks are over crowd
ed. In fact there Is no circus cxhil.i-
liong there. Tim park la establish-
ed lor tho children and the older one
who may have a few minutes or nn
hour to spend there. If all the people
of the cl'.y wero to be there constant
ly 1 fear somo one s business would
go defunct. This Is a mistaken idea
altogether about the park.
"While wo admit tho present park
being built Is small wo shall see that
It fulfills every need for the town un-
til the larger park west of the fire
station can be built. There will bs
110 jams of humanity In the esplanade
park unless it should occur at aonte
time when something of unusual at-
traction Is exhibited there
The' park aa I see it shall bo for
tha children and others who have soma
time to spend in forgetting the weary'
labors of the day. The children can
gambol upon up to the rich and clean
Bermuda grass while their parents oc
cupy places at advantageous places in
the park. The little park is all right
and tha move. It to be encouraged rath-
er than to be discouraged"

It was said at tin War Department that one or two Infantry regiments
ure to be ordered Immediately to Fort Bliss ueor Kl Pnso to relieve ojmj of
the cavalry regiments there for active duty along the International lines
In execution of the neutrality laws.
To servo as n garrison to defend Kl P.tso from a possible attack from

be serviceable aa cavalry while the Infantry could scarcely fill the place of
the cavalry on border patrol not living as mobile.
The net result or the order Is to Incryuso ono mil regiment or American
troops available to maintain order along the border. The Texas Coagrea-
