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.

fBy Leased Wire TO New Mexican.)
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The steam
ship John Lambert, listed In the Mari
time register as an American vessel
was ,sheIIed and sunk without warning
by a German submarine off the Isle OF
Wight on November %, according to
members Of the crew, and Americans
who arrived here today on the French
line steamship Espangne, from 5or'
deaux.
The John Lambert was n OF

Lakes and contracted for by the
French government.
The attack took place at 1850 p. M.
when the ship wal 25 miles south Of
the Isle Of Wight, members Of the
crew said. Edward Harrison, Of this
city, said that the U-boat first made
its presence known by sending a shell
crashing through the John Lambert's
bridge and that the firing continues
durInu the time the crew was taking
to the boats, twelve shots In all be-
ina fired. The crew, numbering six
teen, ali Of whom arrived here today,
without their captain, said they rowed
40 miles to the French coast, being on
the water twelve hours and that short

C. @. p. PROTESTS
RAILROAD VOTE

A. A. Jones for United
States senator, and Robert P.
Eryien for land commissioner,
lead, respectively, the Demo-
cratic and Republican tickets,
in the recent election, accord
ing to the totals made public
this morning by the New Mex
leo state board Of canvassers.
The board is composed Of
William G. Mcdonald, gov
ernor; Clarence J. Roberts,
chief justice Of the supreme
court, and Antonio Lucero, sec
rotary Of state.
In recording the vote, tally
sheets we're made for the two
major political parties, in adj
dition to the one for the states
official record. Both parties
have been represented by coun-
sci during the making Of the
canvass, as have also some Of
the individual candidates.
The totals which have been
made do not include the So
called absent railroad vote.
The canvass Of this vote, which
will reach a total Of some 1875
ballots, was begun after the to-
tails had been made up. The
vote is somewhat Democratic,
but is not heavy enough to
make any possible change in
the results as regards any Of
the candidates. Before the
vote was commenced, Harry s.
Bowman announced in the
Aa-
name Of the Republican state
central committee, every in
dividual Republican candidate
on the state ticket, every Re-
publican candidate in the legis-
lative districts and every Re-
publican candidate for district
attorney, he protested against
the counting and canvassing
Of the so-called "absent rail-
road' vote as without warrant
of law and as against the con-
stitution of the state Of New
Mexico. This protest was made
a matter of record.
Judge Roberts, speaking for
the board, declared that as the
board possessed powers that
are solely ministerial, and in
no sense judicial, it would be
the duty of the board to pro-
coed with the count of the so
called absent railroad vote,
and the count by counties was
commenced.

Asserting that Major General John
F. Organ of the New York national
guard insulted the Twelfth New York
regiment publicly when he commanded
1t to march a second time in review,
when the troops passed before James
w. Wadsworth, United States senator
from New York, and also before a
major in the Carranza army, Colonel
Gordon Johnston, former aid to Major
General Leonard Wood and now de-
tailed from the regular army to COM
mand the Twelfth; Major George EN-
len Roosevelt, a second cousin of
Theodore Roosevelt, and other officers
of the organization now in camp at Nc
Allen, Tex, have offered their resig-
nations. 1t is said this action was
taken because no apology was given
by General Organ.
It seems to be the belief of all the
officers that in asking the regiment to
pass in review a second time. giving
as one reason the circumstance that
the national colors we're not unfurled
the first time the unit passed the re-
viewing party, General Organ offered
to the officers and men of the regf-
ment an insult. officers say that after
such an affront, given before a United
States senator from New York and an
officer of a foreign government, the
other regiments of the New York
division and several hundred specta-

the John Lambert, said that the yes
sci flew the French flag when she
vent down and had been using that
flag although not yet formally turned
over to the French. He said he was
or the bridge at the time the attack
began and that the first shot struck
the water about ten feet ahead Of the
shlp's bow. The second, he said, hit
the bridge.
"As soon as the submarine opened
fire on US I ordered the French flag
run up and the men to take to the
boats" Bernardus said.
The John Lambert left Montreal oc-
toher 81, reaching Falmouth, Eng. No

Of engine trouble, and leaving Novem-

In the opinion of the officers of the

in leaving the field with his guests
before the unit passed the second
time in review. although the COM

PUBLIC ANxIoUsLY AWAITS
NEXT STEP IN CRISl;

London, Dec. 6-The public IL await
ing with the greatest interest the next
step in the political crisis. Ordinarily
the selection by the king Of a leader,
such as MI. Bonar Law, to form a
new ministry would be taken as a So
luton, but from the first there was
some sdoubht whether the Unionist
leader could succeed in the task as
signed to him, or whether he could
command the support of a majority In
the house of commons IL he did form
a cabinet.
The Nationalist. who withdrew
their support from Premier Asquith
because Of his failure to carry out the
agreement made by Mr.. Lloyd-George
for bringing home rule into force i'm
mediately, would hardly be likely to
follow a cabinet Of which the Unlonist
leader was the chief. and in which Sir
Edward Carson was included. II has
been suggested their support might be
obtained by granting their demands

The capture of Ploechti, on
the main railway line running
north from Bucharest, cuts the
main railway line Of retreat
for the Rumanian armies oper-
ating in the Bucharest region.
The official statement does not
indicate whether the, entry OF
the Teutonic forces into Bucha-
rest and Ploechti was stimuli
taneous. The capture of Ploe-
chit before that of the capital
would be far more serious fo1
the Rumanians. Many mill
tary observers looked for the
Rumanians not to attempt a
defense of the capital at the
last, expecting an evacuation in
time to save the forces defend
ing it by a withdrawal Of the
Railway route remaining to
them.
The taking Of Bucharest vir-
tualIy completes the conquest
by the Teutonic forces Of the
southern section of the Ruman-
ian kingdom, embracing terri
tory of more than $4,000
square miles.

cARRANcIsTAs RETAkE PARRAL;
ALL AMERICANS ARE SAFE

Ell Paso, Dec. 6.+Parral, Chih, is
again believed to be in the hands of
the Carranza forces, and all of the
Americans and other foreigners who
were left in the mining town, when
Villa entered it On November 3, are
now believed to be safe.
Messages were received here today
by Amrican mining companies having
interests in the Parral district. These
messages were dated at Parral and
reported the foreign mining properties
to be unframed. No mention Of any
foreigners having been killed was
made. The fact that these messages
were received at the border was con-
sidered as proof that Carranza again
controlled the Parral district, as
Villas commanders did not permit
any messages to be sent to the Dor
der Among the messages received
here was one filed October 81. Tele.
grams have also been received from
Magistral. mar Parral, saying the Am
erican properties there were safe.
Officials of the foreign mining com.

today they believed all foreigners to
