Judge M. G. Spicer.

We learn with much regret
that Judge M. C. Spicer has made
arrangements to move his law
office to Socorro where he will
continue the practice of law. The
Judge has been a resident of Be
len for several years, during
which time, he has been engaged
in the actual practice of his pro-
fession and as a result Of his eff
forts, he has built up a large
practice, not only in Valencia
county but in the adjoining coun.
ties as well.
Judge Spicer has made many
warm and permanent friends
during his residence in Belen; he
is a lawyer of recognized ability
throughout the state, possessing
a clear legal mind which enables
him to grasp the intricate ques.
tions in law when presented, he
is strictly honest in all his busi
ness dealings and forcible anc
eloquent speaker, all of which

The people Of Belen will miss
Judge Spicer as he has always
taken an active interest to pro-
mote the welfare of the city since
he has lived here, His able
counsel and advice will be missed
as it will be a long time before
Belen can hope to get another
lawyer of his standing and ability.
W. are, however pleased to learn
that, although the Judge will
leave Belen, he will locate in a
place so near US as Socorro SO
that the people may yet secure
his services when needed.
Mrs. Spicer, the estimable wife
Of the Judge, who is greatly ad-
mired by her many friends in
Belen. will accompany her hus-
band to Socorro Saturday morn
ing.

sure in wishing the Judge and
Mrs. Spicer much success in their
new location.

Turk Invasion Of Egypt
Fighting is Brisk
Suez Canal Scene of Portentous Military
Activity, is Reported; Seaplane Gets
Ottomans

Cairo, Egypt, Jan. 27.---An
engagement occurred yesterday
to the eastward of EI Kantara,
in Egypt, presumably with the
advance guard OF a Turkish
army, although details are lack
ing. The Egyptian losses were
cne officer and four men slight
ly wounded. Only a compara-
lively small number Of men were
engaged in the fighting, which
was in the nature OF skirmishes.
Fighting in this locality indi-
Gates that not only has a Turk
ish invasion Of Egypt been be-
gun, as was reported in an ear
lier dispatch from Athens, but
that Turkish forces have pene-
trated a considerable distance
into Egypt. El Kantara is 28
miles south of Port Said and is
on the Suez canal, which, it is
assumed, is the immediate OBJ
jective of the Turkish advance.
The territory tributary to the
east Of El Kantara, referred to
in the foregoing dispatch, is the
northern part Of Sinai peninsula,
which extends to the Turkish
frontier.
Detachments of Turks h
troops have been unseen at three
other points to the east Of the
Suez canal, but no fighting has
resulted except that in the vicin-
ity OF El Kantara. In this en-
gagement, the Turks opened
fire at long range with noun
tain guns. The British replied
with machine guns and rifles.
A British seaplane dropped
bombs upon the Turkish forces
Il ear Birmurhadad, inaicting
losses.
Dispatches from Cairo state
that great military activity pre-
walls at the Suez canal. Troops
and warships are being assem-
bled and all civilians are leav.

German Airship Fails in
Attack on City Of Libau
Zeppelin, Hit by Russian Artillery, Dives
Down to Sea and is Believed to be
Injured

Petrograd, Jan. 27.-The un-
successful raid yesterday of a
German airship on Libau is the
third time this port has been at
tackled by the Germans since the
beginning of the war. The
other two nombardments were
from the sea and occurred in
September and November. On
both occasions the Germans
were driven away.
The German airship appear
ed over Libau yesterday morn
ing at ten o'clock. As soon as
she dropped nine bombs, none
of which did any damage, she
sailed away to the southwark.
Travelling in this direction she
was fired upon by Russian ar
tillery and struck, for she could
be seen changing her course in
the direction Of the sea. She
must have been injured, for she
alighted in the water seven miles
from the German town of Vir-
CHEN. One report is she was
Destroyed.
1t was apparent to observers
that this Zeppelin had been
specially constructed to rise
from the sea, and it is believed
that she would have been able
to make reports and get away
again were it not for the fact
that she was attacked by a Rus
sian armored tug which put Out
from Libau. After the crew
had been taken off, the Zeppelin
was sent to the bottom. The
seven men rescued consisted O
four officers and three sailors
The Germans are said to have
created a base on the Baltic fol
the operations of these Zeppelin
airships against the Russians.
The Russian general staff i
said to have received info,ma
ton recently to the effect tha
the Germans intended landing
forces near Libau.
