If the Schakleford- Bankhead
road bill, which has passed both
houses of Congress and is now
before President Wilson for his
signature, becomes a law, New
Mexico will be entitled to ST.
235, $50 for state and ether high
ways, and approximately ST.
100000 additional for roads
through National forests.
The bill appropriates $75, OOO,-
600 from the Federal treasury
for road work in the various
states to be- expended in that
period by each of the states. In
addition, the bill appropriates a
total of 100000 for roads
through National forests. It-is
estimated that New Mexico's
share of this latter appropria-
tion would be 81, 900, 900.

 The following day, January 13, 1645, Bapaume was taken by assault, and the officer who planned and organized the attack and led it to success earned there one Of his titles to the baton Of marshal himself It was d'Artagran.
 Historians are conflicting in dates and many details as to the taking of Bapaume. Some place it in 1641, others in 1645, which is more probable In the latter case Cyrano de Bergerac could not have participated with his cadets in the final assault. He had been wounded at Arras by a sword thrust in the throat that had sent him back to Paris an invalid for the rest of his days. DArtagnan, though, was there undoubtedly. and it Is certain that he played an important role in the victory.
