(J'.y Mrs. M ircelle Hamer, Li-
brarian, Texa Collection, I he
t'niversity of Texas).
Pioneer- of I'exa- did their own
lighting, their own legislating, and
they had a strength and hone ty
of purpose nece sary to build a
commonwealth.
As to their ability to do their
own fjKhti ii jf. Captain (ieorgf
Krath, one of San Jacinto' heroes,
condensed the Texan-' whole code
of military tactic- into one word
when, asked what military training
he had, he replied, "None.'' lie
said be knew but one word of
command, and that was "'(large,
boys, charge!"
One of the salty characters,
Henry Smith, I'rovi.-ional (iovern
or of I'ex u- lH.'Ci, flatly ret'u-ed to
Urreiuler his chair when the hxcc
utive f'ouncil tlied tu depor. him.
The political oppo- it ion de cribed
him as being loo i 11 it• ■ int< , poorh
informed, and not of big enough
calibre for the office. Hut tay

Illustrative of the charac ter of
men and event- in I'exa it that
time is the toiy about I'homas
Jefferson Ku.-k, -ecretary of war,
who was energetic in thought and
action for Texa during the dark
days of the Revolution. On the
night of the organization of the
government ad interim, I n -i<lent
Hurnet hail called a council, ask-
ing each member in turn for an
opinion. A - is u -ual in 'I i xa- pol |
itics no two opinion.- concurred.
Secretary Husk, weary from work
iiig night and day with no rest lor,
three days while helping to frame |
the Constitution of the new He-
public, had dropped hi- head in hi ■
hands and, leaning his elbow on
his knees as i meditating, wa.- ac
tually sound a-leep. When In
name was called and no answer,
he was punched in the rib- by the
man who -at next to him Husk
..at unright out of a fog of -leep
land -aid, "(ientleinen, in\ opinion

tent <if the Texan army i a well
established fact In Texas ni.itury.
A man with less sympathy than
Houston might have Ja.'lcd iii com
uiand of ,-uih an army. Hui when
that army was retreating in haste
before Santa Anna's advance to-
ward what was to be the battle
ground of Sail Jacinto and i'ie ar-
tillery and baggage wagon mired
down continually, no man auj
more willing to put his shoulder to
the wheel than Sam Houston liim-
self. And his "Come on, boys,
let' help the poor critters," be-
came a byword among the men.
Once when the -oldiers over
whom hi. authority a.- not dis-
puted objected because they had
not received a cent of pay for
months, had no hoe , and no soap
to wash their clothe , Sam Hous-
ton gave them each $5.00 of his
own money and iefu-ed to take a
voucher for the amount.
Nil man ever loved the Ameri-
can t'liion more than Sam Hous-
ton. In the Civil War era, when
feeling and vituperation were
most inten e again t him for his
oppo it ion to the eces.-ioii of Tex
a-, lie wa invited to a i t in the
military review of over one thou-
aiul young lexan being drilled

(2- My husband is a staff ser-
geant in the Army of the United
States, lie wants to be discharg-
ed so that he can enlist in the Reg-
ular Army. Will he be allowed to
keep his rank, or will he have to
start over as a private?
A. He will be allowed to keep
his temporary rank of stuff ser-
geant, providing he chooses the
branch of the Army he is now in.
However, since his rank is tempor-
ary, there is no assurance that lie
will retain it as the Army is de-
creased iu size.
4- My sister is a WAC tation
ed in California. She does not
have enough points for discharge.
I there any chunec that she will
be sent overseas'.'
A. No additional members of
the Woman's Army Corp are lie
ng sent overseas.
0. Is it true that the Army Is
till holding men in the service,
regardless of their point scores, be-
cause they are essential'.'
A. Since the Japanese sum n
dor, the Army has reduced from
I Ii to :t the number of e sential |
skills which will keep an enlisted ;
man in the service who has enough !
points for discharge. However, a
I soldier who has one of these skills
I cantiot be held in the ervice more
I than six months after he becomes
i eligible for discharge under the
point system.
Our son ha.- just returned
from overseas. He was married
in Kngland, but his wife i -till
over there. 1 know tin Army will
bring her home when it can, but
will she have to apply for trans-
portation over there, or doe- he
apply here?
