dANS AGAIN TRY
NUTCRACKER PLAN

London, March 22.-By a fianking
attack from the extreme west the Ger
man crown prince Is trying to force
the abandonment of French positions
on the northwest front of Verdun
The German offensive follows the
failure of frontal attacks to break the
French front west of the Meuse.
The crown prince is applying the
familiar "nutcracker" strategy on the
narrow sector ten miles northwest of
the citadel
The German thrust near Malan-
court, eight miles west of the Meuse,
was followed by an advance of Ger.
man troops from Regneville, along
the river bank.
The plan evidently was to squeeze
the French out of the villages of Cumi-
nieres and Chatancourt behind Dead
Man hill and force a retirement on
the northwestern forts of Verdun.
The German attacks around Malan-
court met with some success, dis
patches from Paris admitted.
BY the use of flaming liquids and a
heavy artillery fire the Germans pene-
trated French trenches east of Malan-
court.
The attempt to break the eastern
jaw OF the nutcracker on the bank OF
the Mouse met with failure.

Worth Careful Thought

Do you read the label to know whether
your baking powder is made from cream
of tartar or on the other hand from alum
or phosphate?
Royal Baking Powder is made from
cream of tartar derived from grapes, and
adds to the food only wholesome qualities.
Other baking powders contain alum or
phosphate, both of mineral origin, and
used as substitutes for cream of tartar
because of their cheapness.
Never sacrifice quality and healthful-
ness for low price.

is IMPORTANT CHANGE
Amendment Empowers President,
Without Consulting Congress, to In
crease the Army From 14o, 900 Fight
ing Troops to 175,o00.

Washington, March 22--The first
action of the house was to adopt
without debate an amendment to the
army bill to give the president abso-
Lutte control over the reserve of 10000
men.
The bill provided originally that au-
thority must be granted by congress
before the reseryists could be mobi-
ized.
An amendment offered by Repre-
sentative Kahn of the committee and
accepted by Chairman Hay puts re-
seIvists under the orders of the secre-
tary of war to be sent to any point
when the call to the colors goes out
The amendment is the most impor-
tant addition to the bill yet made. As
the measure stands the president
would have authority without consult
ing congress to increase the army
from 100000 fighting troops to 10000
and also TO summon to the colors the
10000 reservists which the bin con
templates will be provided within four

FL Paso, Tex, March 22.-Aviators
of the United States army are re-
ported searching the almost blind
trails leading to the passes in the
Sierra Madra mountains, where Villa
may seek to escape after his defeat
by the Carranza forces at Namiquipa.
Details Of the fight, in which Colo
mel Cano, with 900 Carranzistas took
part, are still lacking, but reports
have it that Villa was severely worst
ed and that he fled, leaving his dead
and wounded behind.
Captain b. d. Foulois is in charge OF
the seven birdmen selected for the
task of scouting for Villa, who after
his fight with Colonel Cano is expect
ed to scatter his bandits rather than
risk an engagement with the Ameri-
can troops, who are said to bar his
way to the north
Villa In His Old Haunts.
Army officers agree that if Villa
breaks up his command into small
bands and turns to the Sierra Madra
as a hiding place it will be we'll nigh
impossible to capture him. Villa spent
his early days as an outlaw in these
mountains, the passes through which
an army and its transports may not
move 1t takes ten to twelve days to
negotiate these tortuous passes into
the Sonora district
Villa probably will not go into the
Sonora country, whore he is hated and
feared because of his raids, but Mex
leans here believe he will hide him
self away In the mountains until the
American troops have given UP the
chase Mexican Consul Garcia in El
Paso says that villa would enjoy
nothing better than to lead the Ameri-
can troops into a wild chase in these
mountains and then laugh at their
efforts to find him.

With the corruption, graft, and bribe

THE MONTE VISTA TRIBUNE

The Monte Vista Tribune, under
date Of October 9th, in urging the
candidacy of John l. Palmer for
District Attorney, reviews the
achievements of his administration
during the past four years. EN-
pasis is laid upon "all have been
treated alike" and we are prompted
to inquire if that statement is true?
Mr.. Palmer is conservator of the
peace and the administrator of our
laws, made so by his election to the
office of District Attorney. Now the
PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF COLO
RADIO have been parties to the suits
filed by the District Attorneys Of
fee and are prompted to inquire if
the same consideration has invari-
ably been given by the District At
torneys office to the PEOPLE OF
THE STATE OF COLORADO as has
been given to the defendants in sew
eral cases.
Mr.. Palmer, how about the case
of Oscar Schwartz, the leader of an
infamous gang of cattle thieves?
Will Mr.. Palmer tell the full facts
of this case, and why he permitted
the case of the defendant, Oscar
Schwartz, to go over two terms of
court, thereby liberating the defend
ant and barring him from further
trial?
Mr.. Palmer, according to the
Tribune, has put fifty-two slot ma
chimes out of business because "men
in this community are rampant on
the gambling game" Now will Mr.
Palmer take the public into his con-
| fidence and tell them openly, in
| public statement that he has stamp
| ed out all gambling in the Twelfth
| no organized poker games in active
daily operation, where large sums
| of money are won and lost? Since
| the men of this District are so
rampant on the gambling game"
| Mr.. Palmer has undoubtedly kept
himself fully informed, to curb the
rampant gambling instinct.
If the people of the Twelfth Judi
cial District are to vote intelligently
upon these qualifications of Mr.. Pal
mer, as outlined in the Tribune, he
sehould answer fully the PERTIN-
tNT QUESTIONS addressed to him.

Democrats and Republicans alike
are pouring their congratulations
upon Mr.. James P. Veerkamp for
the determined stand he has taken
in this campaign and his positive
promises that he will conduct the Of
flee of District Attorney honestly,
economically, free from corruption
and graft, and his statement that he
will enforce all the laws, has ap-
pealed to the voter irrespective of
party.
John l. Palmer has allied himself
to the Conejos County Gang and the
people of the Twelfth Judicial Dis
trict will welcome to the office of
District Attorney a man like James
P. Veerkamp, who will not brook
influence or control by the men of
the despicable characters who have
had John L. Palmer as their tool.
Control of the nature exercised
by the Conejos County Gang must
cease in public affairs in this district
and the voter irrespective of party
affiliations will register by their bal
lots their disapproval and will elect
to the Office of District Attorney
James P. Veerkamp, whose fearless
stand against gang" rule and die
tation has won their highest COM
mendation.
