CAMPAIGN
UNDER DERBY ENDING
Great Britain Will Know Whether
Conscription Is Necessary
in Week.

LONDON, December 4.-In an appeal
addressed to "all men of military age
in the United Kingdom" Lord Derby
director of recruiting, says the re-
cruiting campaign is coming to an end,
and "by December II we shall know
whether the men Of the United King
dom between the ages of nineteen and
forty are prepared to give the army
the forces 1t requires"
The appeal concludes by urging every
eligible man to join the army "and
show his country that he puts her in
terests before his own; to show the
world, allies, neutrals and enemies
alike, that there are hundreds of thou
sands of her citizens who are ready to
fight for her.
The Joint labor recruiting committee
also has issued an appeal to "the free
men of Great Britain" to Justify the
faith of the nation in its voluntary
system and enroll themselves at once
in the great voluntary army which
stands between US and the loss of our
rights and liberty"
No figures concerning the recruits
thus far enlisted under Lord Derby's
plan are obtainable, but member of
the recruiting committee is quoted as
saving that the results point to the
undoubted success of it and in greater
measure by far than had ever been
anticipated.

U-bOAT WAS UNABLE
TO AIM IN ROUGH SEA
Capt. Gull Of the italian Steamer
Verona Tells How He
Escaped.

NEW YORK, December Capt. 81
none Gull of the italian steamer We
roma, which arrived here today after
having been chased by submarine in
the Mediterranean November 10, said a
heavy sea which caused the submarine
to roll and pitch was the chief factor
in enabling the steamer to elude the
undersea boat.
Capt Gull said the submarine did not
fly flag, nor did it appear to have a
number, and he said there was no way
he could tell whether 1t was German
or Austrian Other officers, however,
expressed the belief that the craft was
a German U-boat.
No Signals From Submarine.
1--WE were about 40 miles west of
the Straits of Bonifacio November 49,"
said Capt Gull, when large subma-
rine appeared on the surface about two
ly astern. There were no signals. and
l Immediately put on all speed possible
and steered course so that the sub
marine would be forced to take the
heavy sea at a quartering angle.
although the sea which was then
running was not heavy enough to ma
terially bother the Verona, 1t caused
the submarine to roll and pitch, and
the crew were unable to aim either of
the two deck guns at us. We saw the
submarine crew go below and, although
it was a close race for more than an
hour and half, we felt comparatively
safe, for we were confident the subma-
rine could not accurately fire a tor

PLENTY OF ATTRACTIONS

Tucumcari has been "a lively place
during the last week. The carnival
company with the merry-go-round is
still here and will remain all week.
The Arlington Stock Company, who
commenced an engagement here mt the
opera house last Wednesday night and
expected to remain only four nights.
decided TO remain over another week
and have been drawing large crowds
every night. This company is com.
posed of players who are stars along
their chosen lines and every night the
crowd is perfectly satisfied with the
way the play is put on. Each person
who attends is walking advertise
ment for the company.
The professional ball team came in
with only n few days announcement
and the game was attended very well
considering the fact that court was in
session and murder case just com
mencing.
Today the big circus arrived and il
has been hard to keep any Of the chill
dren in school. They enjoy seeing the
animals so much that even the fathers
and mothers are using that as the
reason they are going to the show.
Those who have no children are out
looking for some family who has
few to loan. There is no harm going
to see wild animals perform so what
is the use to look for an excuse to-
night?
The big show is AN attraction worth
travelling miles to see. The parade is
good and the band music alone worth
the trip, but unless you see the real
show you have missed something more
than worth the admission price.

Judges room To overhear much or all
OF what transpires in the Grand Jury
Room. Owing to this, or other causes
your Grand Jury have been greatly
hampered and embarrassed by the fact
that the testimony Of witnesses and
the acts of the Grand Jury Room have
IN two or three instances during this
session become common property and
matters of common knowledge upon
the streets, thus placing the Grand
Jury, the sheriff's office and the ofIic,
of the District Attorney ut great dis
advantage in properly attending to
the duties devolving upon said of
fees.
We cannot too strongly recommend
that adequate quarters be at once con-
structed for the session of the Grand
Jury and for the Petit Jury, and this
recommendation also extends to prop
err room for the use Of the District At
torney where he may keep his files
and records safely and where he may
consult with witnesses and with the
attorneys in private without the an.
noyance of curious loungers attempt
ing to ascertain what may he trans
piring in the office of the District At
torney.
With the assurance that we have
endeavored to comply with our oaths
as Grand Jurors and that we have
finished all matters which have come
before us, we beg TO be discharged
from further attendance upon the
court AT this session thereof.
