ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION

How much forests influence
climate is not appreciated gen
orally. The Importance of
this ought to be emphasized
and impressed upon the minds
of our people. One who plants,
cares for and adds to our re-
sources a tree, is a public
benefactor, If we can produce
forests on our arid plains we
may change our climate.
By law and custom it is
made the duty of the governor
to set aside one day of each
year for tree planting. This,
however, is only to emphasize
the Importance OF tue work.
The planting OF trees in the
various localities must ncces-
sarily be governed by local
conditions.
Therefore, for the purpose
contemplated, | do now desie-
nate and proclaim Friday,
April 2nd. 1915, as Arbor
Day. | earnestly and urgently
recommend that this day be
celebrated by all the people of
New Mexico in the true spirit
o, progress. as having a distinct
bearing on our future welfare.
Appropriate exercises should
be held in all OF our schools
when the import of the day
can be thoroughly impressed
upon the young minds. All
who are able to do so ought to
be encouraged and assisted in
the work of planting trees and
shrubs for Oeautitying and en-
riching the school grounds.
Nor should older people forget
or overlook in their present
haste and anxiety for fulhlment
OF temporary desire, the future
welfare and growth OF the state
and its people, Tor whom we
are now holding in trust the
bounty OF nature, SO that il
may be transmitted not only
unlmpdired by US, but expanded
and enlarged as the heritage of
the future.

Thursday night 200 of Silva's

Silva became a refugee. Fills is now

SHELL GASES BRING TERROR

Paris, Sept. 13-The compare
son made between some of the towns
destroyed by war and the ruins Of
Pompeii is not applicable to Arras
Here there is no uniformity nor logic
in the destruction. In the midst OF
groups of demolished edifces houses
are found nearly intact.
The population of Arras, which
was $4,000 before the war, dropped
to 1000 at Christmas, after two and
half months of bombardment, and
was only 5000 at Easter. In June
there were still $500 people. there,
but $50 needy persons, 100 persons
suspected of pillaging and about
500 citizens whose presence was not
useful have been sent away since.
The 1000 persons remaining have
been able to justify their presence by
some utility to the town. They are
obliged to stick to the cellars; they
sleep, eat and work there; what bus
mess goes on is transacted there.
"The fancy goods store is in the eel
lar" This sign, which has it's coun-
terpart in many places, is seen post
ed on the doorpost of one building.
The use of shells emitting suffo-
eating gas when they explode COM
plicates cellar existence, by requir-
ing the stoppage of the windows
with sacks of moistened sand, yet
the spirits of the last thousand are
undaunted; their greatest fear
seems to be that the authorities will
take them away forcibly.
German aircraft are regularly
circling over the town and their ap-
pearance is generally a prelude to
BON bardment.

THE GERMANS
BATTER Way
TO VICTORY
Won Hindenburg's Army, by Smash
ing Tactics, Takes Coveted Rus
sian Railway Line.
ARE FIGHTING IN THE MARSHES
Conditions Under Which Great Bat.
tie is Being Waged are De-
scribed as Terrible.

London, Sept. 14.-By one OF
those battering offensives which, al.
though costly in men and munitions
have invariably been successful
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's
army has at last set foot on the
Rovno-Petrograd railway between
Wilma and Dvinsk. The whole Aus
tro-German forces have been striv-
ing to gain this railway since the
fall Of Warsaw. "
The offensive, which began toward
the end Of last week, was carried on
from three directions. The Russians,
before superior forces, supplied with
the usual mass of artillery, were
forced back to the lake district,
which the railway penetrates, and
are now making a stand there.
simultaneously, the Germans
pushed their way westward to roads
which join the main railway line,
while the Austrians, with whom
there are many German units, are
fighting hard to reach Rovno, the
southern terminus of the line. With
this railway partly in the hands of
the Germans, it is probable the Rus
SLAMS will be compelled to make
further retirement, although their
offensive in Galicia, which contin-
ues, might save them by compelling
the Germans to send reinforcements
to this region.
The conditions under which the
troops are fighting in the marshy
country in the center and on the
southern end of the line, are de-
scribed by German correspondents
as most terrible. The country is
all under water, through
which the Austro-Germans have to
advance against well prepared Rus
sian positions.

TO PUT TAX ON
CH|LDLESS FAMILIES
Professor Sets Three as Minimum
Birthrate in Germany.

The Hague, Sept. 13.-Dutch bool
reviewers have received a surpris.
ing book entitled "Woman's Contri.
button to the Defense of the Realm
by Prof. DR.. A. Grotjahn, professor
'of hygiene in the University of Ber-
lin, in which he sets three children
as the minimum birth rate for every
German family. "If this official
number is not reached" he contin-
ues, "the parents who are negligent
must be heavily taxed for the bene-
fit of those who do their duty"
The author would take no account
of eugenics, asserting that with
our lack of definite knowledge about
the laws of heredity we cannot say
what children may or may not be
healthy to do their duty
for the fatherland."
The professor contends that the
role of womanhood is to be more
highly appreciated as the result of
the present war, woman is to be rec
ognized as factor in the defense of
the realm in proportion as she con-
tributes men to build up the army
and increase the glory of the state

man held for ransom by supposed
Salazar men south of Hachita, N.

He said the bandits burned his
automobile and took everything of

miles south of Hachita, then march
ed him into the country until he was
seventy-eight miles from the bor-
der. There he was placed under a
guard Friday night. The guard doz-

twenty miles before he came upon a
posse of Americans searching for
him. They returned to Hachita just
as the rescuing party with the ran

Peter Swintek and Emil Reinholdt
Strike Engine With Terrific
Force.
BODIES THROWN THIRTY FEET.
Man and Boy Apparently Tried to
Gross Tracks Before Fast
Approaching Train.
BODIES THROWN THIRTY FEET.

Des Moines, Sept. 14.-Petel
Swintek, 81 years old, a construction
engineer, and Emil Reinholdt, l.
years old, both of 1921 Mulberry
street, were instantly killed yester'
day evening when motorcycle or
which they were riding collided
with Chicago Great Western train
No. "a at Thirty-frst street and Sec
ton avenue.
From information received from
persons who were near when the &C
cident occurred, Swintek was trav-
cling north on Thirty-tirst street at
fast rate of speed. He apparently
tried to cross the railroad tracks in
advance of the train, which is said
to have been going about forty miles
an hour. The attempt was unsuc-
cessful and the motorcycle struck
the engine. The terrific impact
threw both riders and the motorcycle
thirty feet ahead to the side of the
tracks. The engine came to halt
three blocks down the tracks.
w. j. Gibbons, who lives at Thir-
ty-frst street and Section avenue
was one of the first to reach the
place where the bodies lay. He
found both bodies badly mangled
and at once notified the police of the
accident. The ambulance and DR..
H. l.. Sayler was hurried to the
scene. On arriving he called Coron-
er Claude Rooms.
Identification of Swintek was
made by tracing a dealers tag
which was found in the trousers.
Swintek had been employed as an
engineer by the Portland Sand COM
pany and had been boarding at the
Reinholdt home. He has one broth
er, Martin Swintek, who is working
for Frank Cram & Son, living in the
city. Coroner Rooms said that he
would make an Investigation into
the two deaths.
Swintek's motorcycle had been in
until yesterday. The trip
which resulted in the death of him
self and his little friend was taken
for the purpose of giving the boy a
ride. Young Reinholdt lived with
his mother and stepfather. His own
father was notified of the tragedy
and assisted in caring for the body,
which was removed to Dunn's IN
parlors, as was that of
Swintek.
