A USELESS EFFORT

1t is doubtful if the press agencies
the various nations lnvolved in the
great war have established in the
United States are accomplishing the
purpose for which they were intended
IF that purpose be to gain the moral
support of the readers. The probing
Iish. pro-French and pro-Russian arti-
cles manifestIy are unfair to the Ger
mans, while the pro-German and pro
Austrian publications bring many bit
ter charges against the allies that
sound highly unjust.
The general tone of all of these
publications is biased and bitter, and
apparently its intention is to put the
enemy in as bad a light as possible
and at the same time extol the fault
less virtues Of the countries they rep
resent.
I'VE are all right; our enemies are
all wrong" is the impression one gains
upon reading one of these publica-
tions. siiaa
Press matter of this kind is being
sent by the ton to the newspapers Of
the United States, but apparently
without result, for two reasons:
First-The newspapers realize they
are serving all the people and not
those of any particular nationality or
descent, and are endeavoring to give
the public the news in as uncolored a
form as possible.
Second-The newspapers realize the
great wisdom Of strict neutrality upon
the part of the United States, and are
doing all in their power to assist in
preserving that neutrality.
The press agent stuff of the bellig-
erent nations usually finds its way to
the waste baskets of American news
papers with more rapidity than any
OF the rest Of the great mass Of use
less mai matter that arrives every
day.

TY NOT DUE TO FOLLOWING

The fact, that a Denver automobile
party met with misfortune south of

chauffeur at Encino On Saturday af-
ternoon, cannot be ascribed to efforts
to follow the new Las Vegas-RosWell
road by way of Encino and Palma, ac-
cording to County Road Commission

missioner says the fact tht the party
was lost in the Pedernal mountains is
an indication that no effort was made
to follow the Encino road, as these
mountains are located many miles to
the west OF the thoroughfare. He
says further that the Encino road,
is marked at very fork and crossing
and it would be Impossible to get off
it. The party called on Mr.. Taupert
when in Las Vegas and received a log
