The piece praises the Texas mobilization on the Mexican border, contrasting World War I era restraint with the 1898 Spanish American War. It notes soldiers now behave like business travelers, civility at hotels, and social clubs, with few disturbances despite large crowds. It highlights improved pay delays, clothing discomfort, and strong support from General Funston for Texas National Guard.
