Durable Consolation Whether to see life as it is will give us much consolation, I know not; but the consolation drawn from truth, if any there be, is solid and durable; that which may be derived from error, must be, like its original, fallacious and fu gitive.—Samuel Johnson.

General Brill, com* mander of the army in Texas, reported to General Hague at Washington that he was opposed by greatly superior forces. General Hague told him to resist the enemy's advance at all costs. Brill or dered Captain Boll to lead the 11th U. S. Infantry into position for battle. Boll’s motor column bravely withstood a terri ble strafing from enemy aircraft, but he ordered the men to abandon their trucks when he observed twenty more planes approaching. Further resistance seemed useless to him. Now continue with the story. CHAPTER VIII—Continued As Boll’s eye went back into the air, his mind was lifted sudden ly out of the depths of black despair by a joyous m iracle of develop ment. Those new planes were clos ing in and he m ade out by the shape of wings and fuselage that they were not Van Hassek planes. Boll’s hand flashed out his field- glasses. He glued them to the skies. From under the wings of those in- rushing squadrons flashed the glo rious legend “ U. S. Army ” American planes plummeted down. Van H assek’s hornets now were droning about in a Lufberry circle awaiting the developments of attack. In a twinkling the American bird- men projected an audacious assault. Planes circled, dove, rolled, darted in the throes of combat. A plane cam e whistling down. Boll’s jaw tightened as he saw the first casual ty was an American plane. But quickly two of Van Hassek’s bird- men cam e tumbling out of the sky. If the Van Hassek pilots had stalled for reinforcements, they now decided upon precipitate flight against superior number. Another Van Hassek plane went down. In a minute the cloud of darting falcons passed into the distance behind. A noon sun was burning the baked hills and swales when Boll’s sur vivors rolled in on a Second Division outpost south of Kirk. The outpost com m ander came hur rying up. "Sorry to report in with my com mand shot to pieces like this, Colo nel,” Boll reported in grim dejec tion. “ But the only choice was— capture. Where’s the hospital, sir? My wounded m ust have care at once!” "E leventh's men are being evacu ated to San Antonio, Captain,” the outpost com m ander advised. “Colo nel Denn was killed, total casual ties over three hundred men. But maybe th at’s not too bad when you consider our border cavalry was all gobbled up. The Twelfth and Fifth are still fighting it out, but they haven’t any more chance than Cus ter had.

Daybreak and exhaustion restored some degree of reason. People moved about now as if stunned, but from time to time looking fearfully into the skies or straining at every word of radio loudspeakers that had been put in service on principal streets. Traffic jam s finally had been re duced, steady stream s of cabs and cars were pouring out of the city on all roads. Thousands flocked about ’he railway station clamoring for standing space on any train that led away from Washington. E xtra editions of newspapers burst into the streets at frequent inter vals.
