5000 TO 1000 NEW
VOTES FOR DEMOCRACY
IN EAST AND MONTH
LAND OFFICE RECEIVERS GIVE
INTERESTING FIGURES ON THE
NEW SETTLERS IN STATE.
fRx Austln G. Rradx.l

Albuquerque, N. NJ, May 24.-That
effective county and precinct organi-
cation is alone necessary to give the
Democratic party from 5000 to 1000
additional votes in the eastern and
northern counties is the belief of the
Democrats here today. Expert testi-
nony from a number of new settlers
is given by A. j. Evans, register of
the ut. Sumner land office, and Paz
Valverde, register of the Clayton
land office. Mr.. Evans states that
since taking office in March, 1915
the filings in his district have aver
aged $50 a month and that they had
been made at the same rate for some
time previously. Receiver Valverde
estimates that there will be at least
500 new votes in Union county. Judge
g. A. Richardson of Roswell cites
the fact that in the recent Democra-
tic primaries Chayes county showed
1000 votes in excess Of those in 1911
and Eddy county 600.
Delegates from Quay, Roosevelt,
Curry, Colfax and Guadalupe also
declare that there are hundreds of
additional Democratic votes in those
counties.

CARTER HAS PLAN
FOR STATE TO AID
HOMESTEANERS WITH
Low INTEREST LOANS
SCHEME SUGGESTED BY STATE
BANK EXAMINER, SIMILAR TO.
AUSTRALIAN PLAN, ~MAY BE
MADE PARTY MEASURE BY
DEMOCRATS.
az AastIn c. erady.l

Albuquerque, N. M, May ga
plan by which the state can finan-
cially aid the homesteaders in New
Mexico will be presented to the state
Democratic convention this afternoon
by State Bank Examiner Rufus H
Carter. This plan involves the secur-
ing of money by the state on long
term loans or by the sale of bonds
and the lending OF this money to the
homesteaders at a rate Of interest
much lower than they could secure
money from the banks. The plan is
similar to one which has proved a
success in Australia. 1t is believed
probable that the convention will
name a committee to investigate the
feasibility of the proposition, which
will report at the state nominating
convention in August. In the event
of a favorable report, the plan prob
ably will be made a party measure.
In the statement outlining his plan
Mr.. Carter said:
1T may be argued that If the Sc
curity offered is ample, private inves-
tors will be glad to furnish the funds
necessary for the homestesders. This
is being done in a small degree only
and at q rate of interest which makes
success exceedingly difficult if not
altogether impossible. the customary
rate being not less than IL per cent.
per annum; besides. in many cases,
an exorbitant charge in the way of
commission. The state a borrow
money at 4 per cent on long time and
probably not exceeding 5 per cent
for q comparatively short time. May
not the legislature authorize the is
sue and sale of bonds and provide for
lending the proceeds to worthy land
owners for such purposes as mention
ed. setting such limitations on the
amount per acre as will eur the
state against possible loss in the
event the borrowers should fail to-
make good and the state be forced to
become the owner Of the land?"

London, May 24.-The Exehange

from diplomatic circles that Prince
on Buel, former German chancellor,
is proceeding to Washington, charged
by Emperor William with a special
mission. 1t is also rumored that he
is to be the new ambassador to Wash

Prince Won Buel, one of the fore
most statesmen of Europe, has been
referred to frequently IN the last few
months as the man who might be Sc
lected by Emperor William to conduct
preliminary peace negotiations, should
they be undertaken. Late in 1914 the
former chancellor was sent to Rome
by the emperor and succeeded in de-
laying Italy's declaration of var on
Austria. He is credited also with
having prevented war between Ger
many and Italy. From time to time
it has been reported that the prince
was engaged in peace negotiations,
but so far as has been ascertained
these rumors we're without founda-

24.-The stoicism of Mexican women
was shown during the fight on Sun
day at San Miguel de Rubio. when
three Mexicans wereN killed as they
attempted to shoot up a detachment
of ten American cavalymen who at
the time were dismounted and riding
IL automobiles.
After the trio had been killed, the
ranch house from which they had
tried to escape was searched. Inside
were found women and children. Not
one of them made an outcry, nor
showed outward indication of hys-
terra. One party comprised the wom-
en- folk of Julio Cardenas, a Villista
leader who had been the last to die
in the ranch house fight. From their
windows his women saw him, down
with his arm broken and other bullet
wounds, refuse to surrender, but turn
IN his side and use his broken arri
for a pistol rest while he continued
e fire on the Americans until a bull
let in the head ended his life. When
the searching party entered the raom
these women gave no signs of their
grief.

Paris, May 24.-The battle around
Verdun continues to rage with a vio-
lence mexampled even in this region.
The Germans are striving with every
source in their power to capture Hill
304 and Dead Mans Hill. on the left
bank Of the Meuse, and to win back
the famous Fort Douaumont, on the
right bank. which was wrested from
them by General N~iyielle's brilliantly
planned and executed offensive.
A powerful offensive was under
taken by the Germans last night to
the east Of Dead Mans Hill on the
Verdun front. The attempt in gen
eral was unsuccessful, the war Office
report today says; but after a fierce
hand-to-hand struggle the attacking
forces made their way into a por-
tion Of the village of Cumieres.

THE WAR TODAY

THE GERMANS are continuing
desperate attacks on Fort Doua-
mont and have captured part o.
a trench east of the fort, north
east of verdun. The French
claim still to be in possession Of
early ali Of the fort itself.
WEST OF THE MEUSE the Ger
mans attacked in force east Of
Dead Mans Hill, and by hard
fighting, made their way into a
portion Of the village Of cumir-
les.
ACCORDING TO a semi official
italian view the purpose Of the
Germans in continuing their,

vent an expected simultaneous
