Soldiers Find Texas Cities Quite Like Those Back Home

Texans are greatly pleased to find that United States soldiers from the North arid East have so readily fallen into the way of things tn the Lone Star state. The battalions encamped there are said to express great admiration for Dallas and other Texas cities, and to admit- that they are “something like the cities back home.” And they are. That is one of the first discoveries made by anyone who goes from one place to another in the United States, observes the Christian Science Monitor. It becomes monotonous after a while, to find the towns and cities are much alike, but modernization has largely done the same kind of things in Europe. Rome Is every year growing to look more like London, Paris, and New York. * Dallas, Tex., might be situated In Massachusetts. Illinois, Colorado or California, without exciting comment And yet there was distinctive architecture In the different sections of the American Union not so many yean ago.
