SOLDIER FILES PROTEST AGAINST BUYING TAGS To the Editor of The Record: FORT WORTH, Sept. inclosed is a transcription of a letter received us this day.

The justice of the protest. give is, I the believe, matter apparent serious to con- all sideration. I suspect that this solicitamade thoughtlessly by the Worker." The cause back of the campaign is a worthy one as the correspondent observes, else it would not have had the sanction of the Chamber of Commerce, but war camp community service feels 50 earnestly about caring for the best interests of the soldiers while in the city, that we are conto hand you this letter that attention may be drawn to the situation to, prevent a recurrence of the cause complaint. Sincerely yours, C. P.

STANLEY, For War Camp Community Service. FORT WORTH, Sept. War Camp Community Service Dear Sir: Will you permit me to voice my protest against the solicitation of soldiers to purchase tags in the campaign held in Fort Worth last Saturday? was approached and I know of several of my comrades who were asked to purchase tags. Of course We bought. But the embarrassment in which the average soldier placed when asked to subscribe to these campaigns will be apparent following these explanations The soldiers' pay is very small, $30 al month, after lie has paid insurance and with his allotment to the folks back home deducted, there not very much left for his personal expenses, fact, the dollars of most of us could be distributed along the fingers of one hand and then some of the digits would have to be slighted, this must carry u8 for the month.

But when a worker in a good cause approaches and the cause back of the campaign Saturday WAS a landable and asked that we be tagged very difficult to refuse, especially light of that been done is done for us by the good Fort Worth. But it means for abstinence from the amusements offered and cases us back camp until the amount for tags made up. been Respectfully submitted, CORPORAL O. R.

Blair-Smith is the brother of General William Smith, commander of the 36th Division, the Texas and Oklahoma fighting machine, now "over there." H.

Blair-Smith is comptroller and I general auditor for the American Telephone Telegraph company and is in Fort Worth as a witness in the telephone rate hearing. H. Blair Smith General William Smith started life together back yonder in the Tennessee mountains, maybe it was Nashville, under the same roof and of the same parentage. When they quit playing le-cat on 1 the town lots and started out for the game of one life, H. Blair became a bookkeeper and an accountant.

His brother, William, when a youngster was generally the leader of the kid tin-can militia brigade, and he landed in West Point. Now William is a major general and H. Blair 18 the directing head of the accounting department of one of the CARING FOR HOME FOLKS IMPERATIVE THE Fort Worth Relief Association Aims to Help the Poor and Relieve Suffering. No one questions the importance of the various win-the-war campaigns of the recent past and of the future, but the Fort Worth Relief association insists that the needs of the unfortunates within her gates must not be forgotten or ignored. Last year the association hung back from asking the public for funds because it didn't want to get in the way of other important calls.

It assumed, however, that all its scribers would keep up their support without solicitation. In this it was disappointed. Only 150 held up its work during the year and the income was inadequate. The other day the association had only $5 in hand at the very moment when a tuberculosis case presented itself, requiring aid. A campaign for $20,000 will be undertaken next Tuesday and Wednesday, with large executive committee of business men charge, under the chairmanship of W.

H. Bagley. What kind of relief does this association give? All kinds, according to the need, During the past ten monthe 357 families have been aided, embracing nearly 3,100 persons, of whom almost half were children. The care of the children is always uppermost in the minds of the workers. Tuberculosis cases numbered not less than 160, while maternity cases were 164 and the care of young children 453 more.

Visits to families numbered 1,615. This is chiefly the service rendered by a salaried social worker. Office interviews numbered 1,100, The problems that come before the association are as bewildering a8 a Scotch plaid. For instance, a few: 851 nursing cases in ten months: unemployed persons, 92: Insufficient wages, 140; old age, 15: Insanity, 13; stranded travelers, 45. The visiting nurses give poor in their homes, as far as is possible, what they would get in a hosthe latter could accommodate them all.

There is no Fort Worth institution which performs such a varied social service on so large a scale and the ple of Fort Worth must not let: it fail for want of funds. BELIEVE HAGER KILLED FIGHTING REVOLUTIONISTS George W. Hager, 31 years old, of the United States marines, formerly cashler here for the Southwestern Telegraph Telephone company, was killed while chasing revolutionists in the mountains of Santo Domingo, according to belief of relatives and friends, This belief is based on a letter received by his uncle, H. H. Hager, written Aug.

21, saying he would leave the next day with a party of marines to chase bandits in the mountains, and a telegram received from Washington Tuesday, saying that he had died 5. Sept. Hager's old home was in Nashville, where he enlisted three months ago. UNIVERSITY LOST SEVENTEENTH STAR WHEN CREATON DIED Record. Special to AUSTIN, Sept.

In the army there are many thousands of Smiths, but the General In Smiths are a scarcity. the American Telephone Telegraph company's general offices are a few Smiths, H. Blair-Smith's neighbors are named Smith. His associates are Smiths and a number of bosses in his little old section businenere in New York are Smiths, so just for convenience and so as to get his mail, for he really does treat his mail In a personal way, he slapped a hyphen there between the Blair and the Smith. He says this is the way it happened that his name is H.

Blair-Smith. H. Blair-Smith, a modest man, admits that he and the general are only two out of a family of eight boys. "You know, my wife claims to be about a halt Texan," said the man of accounts. "Her grandfather was old Commodore Dallas, the very man whom Dallas was named for." This is Mr.

Smith's first visit to Texas. SAMUELS ADDRESSES FORT WORTH AD CLUB Speaks on "New Draft and Essential Industries" and Has Large Audience. Sidney La Samuels, chairman of the district exemption board, spoke before the Fort Worth Ad club at luncheon in the Metropolitan hotel Wednesday on New Draft and Essential. Industries." His fame as a public speaker, in addition to the general interest in his subject, drew the largest attendance the Ad club has had at its luncheon in many a day. William Monnig president of the club, presided.

Routine business was disposed of very quickly and Mr. Samuels was introduced. He protested that he was not in good form to make an address, but he held the undivided attention of his audience from first to last. Selective Service Law. Mr.

Samuels gave a running review of the selective service law in actual operation, pointing out wherein it had been improved by practical experience and explaining the manner of classifying registrants and the perfecting and prosecution of appeals local to district boards. The district board in Fort Worth, of which he is chairman, has the largest territory to cover of any in the United States, he said. the district being larger than the New England states and larger than several small European countries. Referring to the "work or fight" order in its 'application to essential industries, Mr. Samuels said that bustness interests must not be unduly alarmed by implied threats of the labor board to induet men into the army who were not engaged in industries designated by the war department as essential.

Men could be inducted into the army, he said, only by the local draft boards, and even in that instance the war department had hedged the anthority with safeguards, providing that hearings should be given in each protest and the utmost lattitude shown in determining the classification of each man. Co-Operation of Employers, Mr. Samuels explained that the g0Vernment does ask the co-operation of all employers of labor in occupations not classed as essential industries and if they are able to spare men working for them without damage to their businesg and such men can be used in necessary war work, the employers are asked to come forward voluntarily and offer them to the government. In concluding his remarks, Mr. Samuels referred in glowing terms to the necessity of upholding the government and the pride each person should take in doing what he could to help win the war.

His hearers -applauded aim to the echo and then all stood up and applauded some more. Coming on the eve of registration day for the 18 to 45 men of the nation, Mr. Samuels gave his hearers fund of information many of them wanted very much to know. Obituary Mrs. Mollie Williams.
