Oldham for Mayor

b. d. Oldham, president OF
the Clovis Chamber of Commerce
and president of the Texas New
Mexico cooperative Commercial
Clubs Association, has been
nominated for mayor of Clovis
by the democratic convention
Monday night and will no doubt
be endorsed by t h e citizens
ticket, if one is placed in the
field.
1t would do Mr.. Oldham an in
justice to merely state that he is
public spirited. has done as much
for the the upbuildlng of Clovis
as any man. but we will go far
ther by saying that he has taken
the lead in any and all move
ments that pertained to the well
fare of Clovis and in building
and boosting the city. He came
to Clovis in its infancy and has
since that time occupied the re-
sponsible and important position
as cashier Of the First National
Bank. 1t is said that he has
spent more individual money,
atteuded more public meet
ings. devoted more time
and energy to the
advancement of the commercial
interests of Clovis than any citi-
zen of the town and the News
accepts the statement a 8 the
truth. The News will stand re-
sponsible for the statement that
Mr.. Oldham will give us a fair
and square business administra-
ton.

MUCH INTEREST IS SHOWN
In ROAD TO TUCUMCARI
Chamber of Commerce in Meeting Friday Night Decided
to Take Action and Cooperate with the Tucumcar
Midland and Other Towns in Effort to Build Road.

The much talked of north and
south road from Tucumcari to
Midland via Clovis. was the
subject of considerable discus
sion at the Chamber of Com
merce meeting held Friday
night.
The Committee composed of
Messrs. r. E. Brown, B. d.
Oldham, DR.. Clyn Smith, d. L.
Moye, and J. F. Taylor, who
had visited with the Tucumcari
Chamber of Commerce Railroad
Committe reported that the Tu-
cumcari people appeared very
enthusiastic over the proposit-
ion, and that at mass meet
ing h eld during their visit, the
people turned out en- masse, in
such numbers as to pack the isles
of the building where the meet
ing was held.
AS previously stated in the
News, the towns along the
proposed road will endeavor to
build the line by bonus subscrip-
tions and to deal with the bond
brokers themselves instead of
employing outside promoters.
This idea was advanced by the
Tucumcari railroad committee
and it met with the approval of
the Clovis committee. At the
meeting held here Friday night
it was decided to at once char
ter the road and get up the
necessary Incorporation papers.
For this purpose, a committee
was appointed who will get busy
at once.
A motion was also made and
carried to extend an invitation
to the Tucumcari Commercial
Club and those interested in
the building of the road, to meet
with the Clovis Chamber Of
Commerce on next Friday night
for the purpose of further dis
cussion of the project, and de-
wise ways and means to put the
plan in operation,
Every business man in Clovis
and all those interested should
attend the meeting.

Indian Boys to Make Trip.

Two Indian boys, Setting Ea-
gle and Red Fox James will
start on March 30th from the
Crow Indian Reserve in Mon
tana for cross country trip on
horseback from the Atlantic
to the Pacific ocean on a boost
ing expedition for the Lincoln
highway. This highway is to
cross the continent from ocean
to ocean and all states are to
have easy access to the great
road. These boys are also in
terested in the introduction of a
bill in Congress to be known as
Indian Day" because the In
dian was the first American
and they invite the co-opera-

Fire At Albuquerque Shops.

The Santa Fe company's store
house at Albuquerque, was
burned recently with a loss of
probably $4,000. The building
will not be rebuilt. as the plans
for shops at Albuquerque pro-
vide for a new st)rehouse,
which was one of the first build
ings to be put up.
The fire originated in the
building and in what manner 1t
started is unknown, but is sup
posed to have been from a spark
from an engine. The fire had
gained good headway before
the fire company arrived. and
with a low water pressure little
could be done to stop the fire.
At one time it was said the
flames were likely to reach the
oil house, a stone building only
10 feet from the store house;
and the crowd that was watch
ing the flames scattered in ev-
cry direction.

CAPTURE OF ANTWERP
DANGER FOR ENGLAND
New York German Paper Points
Out How TeutOniC DirigibIeS
Could Attack Britain.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2O--Herman
Ridder, editor Of the Stats Zeitung,
discussing the European war from the
German viewpoint says in part in his
article today:
Should the Germans make a de-
termined effort to capture Antwerp,
the great Belgian seaport, the English
for the first time since the days Of
Napoleon will see danger across the
English channel.
"A fleet of dirigibles, operating from
Antwerp. could do more than frighten
England in her security. BY cooper
ating with torpedo and submarine at
tacks, the airshipS could make life
miserable for the English navy. More
over, England would not be so enthu-
siastic about sending her troops to
France if the Germans held the Bel
gian coast. Germany might overlook
France entirely, and strike hard at
the English coast The enthusiasm Of
John Bull for this war would expert
ence a sudden chill If the Germans
were to launch a bold and most unex-
pected attack against the English
coast.

regularity. The German army advanc-
ing through Belgium apparently is
pressing back with irresistible force
the six French and three English
corps that are cooperating with the
Belgians. Beyond Liege no serious
resistance has been met. Whether
the allies will risk a battle on the
historic field Of Waterloo is problem
atical 1t is the more probable that
the first great battle will be fought
around Namur.
Iiege is Discounted.
THE Importance aScribed week
ago to Liege has been discounted by
the action of the German general
staff in dispegarding the existence of
the forts and moving around them,
striking at the forces of the enemy.
Once passed by. the great Liege guns
are of just as much value as If they
were spiked and dismounted.
"a victory for the German forces
in a great battle around Namur would
mean that the allies would have to
retreat precipitately to the French de-
lenses their morale broken, and their
present plan Of campaign useless.
1.-The glowing reports of the French
advances in Alsace-Lorra1ne evidently
are sent out to cOunterbalance the
news from Belgium which has been
kept back for the present, but which
cannot be concealed forever. 1t must
be kept in mind that nowhere have
the French advanced beyond the

hitherto been supposed The Ger

and managed to hold position south

Capture and Then Retreat
The German raiders would capture
one after the other. only to be driven
out in turn by the French cavalry
that kept close TO their heels AT
Badonville a battalion of French chas-
suers deplOyed as a covering force,
dug numerous trenches. The Germans
bombarded the village and the chas-
suers were compelled to withdraw to
COLES and then to Donan ridge. where
they took up a fresh position, which
they succeeded in holding.
The following description OF the
German attack is given in a report
to the war office:
After nightfan the Germans in
creased the bombardment and the in
habitants sought refuge in cellars as
a continuous rain Of shells wrecked
the houses and set them afire 1t

their knees and prayed, while children
cried piteously.
The chasseurs retired defending
every house foot by foot and making
the Germans feel their fire. The sun
rose on a village in ruins. 1t had
been under bombardment fifteen hours
when the Germans entered the town
they fired first in all the windows and
down 1oopholes into the cellars. No
corner was spared
