Paris, Aug. 21-Oficial advices say
that the Russian squadron OH lnlaua
is likely to leave the Turkish waters
within the next few days as the Turk
ish government has given adequate as
surances that it will meet all OF the
Russian demands. The withdrawal OF
the warships will be chiefly due to
Turkeys assurances, but also to Rus
sias desire to avoid step Whlcn

THE DELEGATE is RIGHT
Steps Should Be Taken to Collect Ma
teriaI for Comprehensive History
of New Mexico.

Editor New Mexican:
Your editorial in yesterdays New
Mexican about the necessity of prop
er, elaborate and comprehensive his
tory of New Mexico is indeed timely.
The need of such work was brought
forcibly to my mind last winter when
l went into the congressional library
at Washington, and examining the
meager collection of works on New
Mexico contained in that. great collec-
ton of literature. I do not think
though that the history of New Mexi-
co can be properly written at this
time. AS you say it will be a monu-
mental undertaking, and will involve
years of work. There is plenty of ma
terial for the work in the archives
and monasteries and converts of Spain
Portugal, Italy and other European
countries as we'll as in the republic Of
Mexico, and above all the history
should not be written until the con-
gressional library has had the vas1
mass of New Mexico archives 1t re-
ceived from Santa Fe recently proper
ly classified and separated. That I'M
mense quantity of almost unknown
archives that was in the vaults of the
capitol building at Santa Fe has now
as I understand it, been deposited II
the. congressional library, and until i
is looked over and indexed, no one car
know what rich historical material il
may contain.
Very truly yours,

New York, Aug. 21-Sir Thomas Lip

T have ever seen. 1t was purely a mat
ter of luck. The Shamrock got no
show for wind. Whenever We did get
a breeze we lost no time In making up

lasted with US. The Shamrock, while
the Wind lasted, did better work than
the Reliance. Others may say what
