BERLIN, Feb. 25.-CNia London)- The morning papers today print s
 HaVas dispatch from New York which says that the administration at Wash
 inston has determined to break off
 relations with Count von Bernstorff,
 the German ambassador to the United
 States and negotiating direct with
 Berlin
 Nothing is known here regardfns
 the reported disfavor of Count von
 Bernstorff but it is considered ex-
 tremelv probable. as was intimated in .a dispatch to the Associated Press
 from Berlin some time ago. that the
 submarine negotiations will be trans ferred To Berlin in accordance with arrangements submitted to President Wilson several weeks ago. It is felt
 here that this may expedite a satis- factory settlement of the whole sub marine controversy.
 The putting of the submarine ques- l tin in Count von Bernstorffs hands after the Arabic incident served its purpose. It is felt there that Count N'ii iSSi HSN'iIl ihtH ' tHpIpuSH ldifllf- iarity with the American viewpoint -oJluoo 9Vl Jo uonnIoS ol pIeSsI regard to d solution of the contro- ver@v and that with the progress that has been made in Washington un the rroLlem much may be hoped for from the second shift to Berlin

 German officials say that the Ger man gains have been scored at virtu- ally every point where an earnest ef fort at an advance Was made. and that ir no case has it been necessary to precede the attack With a seventy y-two- hour cannonaCe, such as preceded the September offensive of the entente al lies
 The importance of the gains north ward of NerGun iS evident. It is not alone the strongest French fortress, but 1t offers direct communication with Paris and has been thorn in the flesh If the Germans for eighteen months Military observers consider that il is now likely that Nerdun soon will be menaced on all sides. The German line of communication north of Nerdun has been greatly improved.

LONDON, Feb 26.-While the confi- dence of the military critics has not been shaken by it. the seriousness of the German thrust toward Nerdun is recognized. It is realized by these crit ics that the momentary lull in the fighting is only a prelude to renewed activities when the weather conditions gre favorable and probably with re- doubled intensity.
 The military writers are skeptical as to the claims of the Germans that they have taken 1000 prisoners in the course of the battle They allege that it is the German custom to count wounded and civilians as prisoners.
 The Times Paris correspondent re- fleets the feeling of the French people as of equal anxiety though he says there is less apprehension than pre- vailed during the great Marne strug- gle. The correspondent adds that all accounts from the front agree that the

CIVIC PRIDE

What citizen is there in our
town who does not feel some de-
gree Of self pride in its welfare?
That cannot call to mind some mer-
itorious advantage which could be
spoken of to advantage whenever
an opportunity is afforded them?
Who is there among our people
who has not the patriotism in their
veins to stand boldly up in defense
of and contradict any statement
made that he knew would prove
injurious to our town and people?
Who does not wish to have it said
of them when they are gone that
the town and community in which
they lived has been made some bet
ter by them having lived in it?
Every town has a number of such
men; they are the men who make
good towns which eventually make
cities. Pleasant interior condi-
tiOns in towns attract outside peO-
pie, strife and contention keep
them away. Unsatisfactory condi-
tions can be remedied and it is the
duty of all good citizens to see
that they are. Every town can be
made better in most every respect
and it is the men with the welfare
of the town at stake and at heart
who must do it.
Lordsburg is a good town, let us
keep it so, let us not permit any
internal differences to interfere.
Lordsburg is one Of the progress
i've and advancing towns of the
State. and let us see that nothing
gets in the way of it's progress.
This subject can be made a lesson
Of profit by us all.

THE SHELTER IS THE MINT

The New Mexico Smelling sit
uation is becoming serious. Ma
ny small shippers who have not
contracts with the smelters are be-
ing forced to close down or curtail
their operations on account of the
shelters not being able to handle
the res There have been cases
where men have bought or
leased properties and had their
first shipments turned down. In
some instances shipments have
merely been limited, but in others
all new ores r refused, owing to
the inability on the part of the
smelters to handle larger tonna-
yes until certain extensions have
been made. Most of the smelters
have long standing contracts with
the more prominent producers the
latter have greatly increased their
output within the last year, be-
sides which there has been a gen.
eral increase in the amount Of Gus
tom = offered. The shelters,
however, are doing everything pos
sible to take care of the increase in
business. The smelteries at Hay
den, Miami and Douglas are all
making extensions and the FL Paso
smeltery will put into operation
five old lead furnaces as soon as
they are sufficiently repaired.
