Mzljou th By ELMO SCOTT WATSON T IS doubtful If the American Legion could have done a more appropriate thing than It did when It selected Fan Antonio, Texas, for the scene of Its annual convention. For the tenth anniversary of their successful fight for human liberty will And them assembled In the city of the Alamo, the "pradle of Texas liberty" and the shrine of all Americans who cherish the memory of such valiant fighters in the deA-nsof their country as were those heroes of the Lone Star state. More than that, the gathering of the Legion In San Antonio on October 8 to 12 will be a "home coming" for many of Its members. More than 200,000 men were trained for World war service at the military camps In or near San Antonio Fort Sum Houston, Camp Travis, Camp Stanley, Camp Bullla, Camp Normoyle, the San Antonlon arsenal, the officers tralning camp at Leon Springs and at Kelly Fields No. 1, 2 and 3 and some of them proved on the battlefields of France that "Alamo stuff" was more than Just a tradition. Inspiring as Is the story of the Alamo, It Is not the only Interesting Incident In the romantic history of San Antoulo. That history goes baik exactly four centuries. Although the city Itself dutes from 1718, It was as long ago as 1523 that there were set In motion the chain of events whlth led to the establishment of a white settlement there. A shipwreck brought the first white men to the soil of Texas. A Spanish explorer. Cube .a de Yarn, and his companions were stranded on Its Shores In that year. They lived among the Indians for some time and, although most of the company died during this time, De Vaca managed to make his way eventually to the Spanish settlements in iirj&azr Shipwreck again played a part In that history when La Salle, the dauntless French explorer. In his search for the mouth of the Mississippi was driven far from his course by storms and finally landed at Lavaca bay In 16S5. . There he founded Fort St Louis, left a part of his men to found a colony and started out in bis search which ended when he was killed by one of his own men. Rut the founding of this colony stirred the Spanish to an effort to colonize the great Southwestern empire whlrti lay as a middle ground of contention between the Spanish to the south and west Mexico and Central America and the French and English In what Is now the United States to the east and north. In their effort to hem In the French In Louisiana, the Spaniards established a fort and a mission on the Neches river and in the struggle with the French which followed they started a line of missions across Texas In 1716. The previous year a French party on Its way to Mexico City to trade with the Spaniards had noticed the favorable site of the present city of San Antonio and laid their plans to plant a colony there. But Spain anticipated France and In 1718 a party of Spanish soldiers, missionaries and mechanics arrived there, established the Mission Alamo and built a village. Later four other missions were established near by and these five ancient buildings are landmarks which will speak most eloquently of San Antonios historic past to the visiting Legionnaires. Nearest to the city and best preserved Is Mission Concepcion, which was first established not far from the present site of Houston and removed to the vicinity of San Antonio In 1729. It Is built in the form of a cross with its twin towers crowned by a Moorish dome which today, as for the past 200 years, echoes back the liturgy of the church and It Is distinguished for the blurred remains of the brilliantly beautiful frescoes which once adorned It. Plainer and more simple In its construction than Concepcion is Mission San Juan de Capistrano which Is still used as a chapel by the people of the little village near at hand who are said to bear In their faces and characteristics more traces of their Indian ancestors than are found elsewhere In Texas today. Close to this mission is the old aqueduct built by the Indians under the direction of the friars. Unweak-vne- d by the ravages of 200 years the stones of Its occupied the Old Veramendl palace (the restoration of which la now being planned by the city of San Antonio) and In the yard of this pnlace Mllnm was shot down as he was leading his men to the attack. With these events as preliminaries, the stage was rapidly being set for the most glorious Incident In San Antonio's history. After occupying Sun Antonio, the Texans fortified the buildings of the Mission Alamo as strongly as possible and waited the attack which they knew Santa Anna, the dictator of Mexico, was preparing to launch against them. The commander of the forces In this Improvised fort wns Lieut. Col. William Barrett Travis, a young lawyer from North Carolina. Associated with him was Col. James Bowie of Georgia, famous as the originator of the Bowie knife of sinister frontier fame, and Col. Duvtd Crockett, the famous bear hunter of Tennessee. The force under these leaders consisted of only MO officers and men, against whom Santa Anna was soon to hurl the power of more than 5,XX) Mexican regulars. On February 23. 1S3C, Santa Anna appeared before the fort and demanded its surrender, a demand which Travis mot by a shot from his battery and the displaying of his flag Santa Anna Immediately displayed a red banner, signifying that no quarter would be given, and began erecting batteries. Although Travis and his men mlcht even then have escaped, he had no thought of do Ing sucli n thing. Instead he sent out messengers to l.is fe'low citizens of Texas appealing for aid and declaring that he would never surrender or retreat. The story of what happened thereafter Is oo familiar to need detailed retelling here. For all Americans now know how Col. James Butler Bonham, a young South Carolinian, volunteered to break through the Mexican lines and ride for reinforcements, how he reached Colonel Fannin at Goliad 200 miles awny and how, when Fannins relief force of 300 men, through a series of misfortune, was unable to continue, Bonham rode on alone, determined to rejoin Travis, although be knew that he was riding to his death. When he finally made his way into the Alamo again he found that Capt J. W. Smith and a little band of 32 heroes had cut their way through Santa Anna's hosts to die with Travis, Bowie, Crockett and the others. The story of their death has often been told nn siege and then a final assault on March 6 which carries the walls of the fort and stir rounds the gallant little hand with a ring of fire and steel. Travis and Bonham are killed while serving the guns. Bowie, lying on a sickbed leaves a trail of dead Mexicans from the door of his room to tlie side of his bed before they do him to death and one of them lies sprawled across the Texan's body with that awful American knife buried deep in his heart! Crockett stands tit bay in the churchyard, swinging an Iron flail of death It is In's famous rifle Old Betsy whirh has tired its last shot. Tiie Mexicans arp piled before nim in heaps, but numbers tell ; they swarm about him, they leap upon him like hounds upon a great stag, they pull him down, bury their bayonets In his great heart, spurn him. trample upon Irfia. spit And thus upon him so he make a fine end they all died ALL, for the monument at Austin, tiie state capital, tell3 their story in this line Thermopylae 1ms its messenger of defeat, the Alamo laid none." A little more than a month later an army ot Texans, led by grim old Sam Houston, swept the field of San Jacinto with the cry of Ttpmembet the Alamo! and the independeace of Texas was won. And that is why San Antonio is famous as the city of tiie Alunto, tiie "cradle of Texas liberty. Could there he a better place for a group of men who have fought In defense of liberty to meet and commune among themselves as to how best the liberties of their country may be preserved? that time 3 Alamo Stuff 8 t"AUm (tuff 8 tor raid, OM (ha iimhI at ( n Saralc ri mn cut tl at a totanlag wto death. aad (aught ta lha Um ntMmmcm $ af Aairku af lUr n Mm peat ta a Garmaa e Mexico.

According to legend, these carvings were made by a sculptor named Ilulcnr, who fled from Spain to the wilds of Texas to seek forgetfulness of a sweetheart who had proved unfaithful. Around these missions centered the life of San Antonio, the ancient, with the friars guiding their Indian charges in ways of peace and teaching them the white mans ways of tilling the soli and caring for their herds and flocks. That life was comparatively untouched by outside forces, even after the turning point In the history of that came In 1803, when Thomas Jefferson made his famous Louisiana Purchase from Napoleon. The only change that came about which affected San Antonio directly, however, was when Mexico won her independence from Spain and Mexican troops occupied the city us a strategic point to he held in the struggle between the Mexicans and the Americans which was already foresbnd owed. That struggle was precipitated In 1835 when the Americans who had settled in Texas rose in rebellion against the maladministration of the Mexican rulers. It began with a skirmish at Gonzales and a battle at Concepcion in October of that year. On December 10, after a siege and nn assault which continued for six days, the city of San Antonio was captured and every Mexican soldier was expelled from the territory. It was during this assault that a Texas hero was made. When the army of Texans appeared before San Antonio, there was some discussion as to whether or not It would be prudent to attempt to storm the city. Finally it was decided that the assault should be made and a call was Issued for volunteers to lead the attack. At this juncture, so the story goes, Benjamin R. Milatn, a daring and picturesque figure, appeared among the Texans and shouted, "Who will go with old Ben Milam Into San Antonio?
