Army Base for service. A very
interesting and well attended
service in charge of Chaplain u.
II. Vincent of Silver City, now
here with the National Guar DIS of
New Mexico, took place at ten
o'clock. A good sprinkling of
Columbus people attested the
interest in the townsmen in all
that concerns our soldiers.
Chaplain James Hillman gave
a fine address paoving that
spiritual strength makes the in.

the most successful soldiers

Proposed Villa Raid Monument

Citizens and sojourners OF
Columbus are agitating the
memorializing of the victims of
Villa Raid in a permanent man
ner.
1t is suggested that the move
ment be national for those who
died in that reign of terror are
now of national Importance.
Other citizens believe that as the
Daughters Of the American
Revolution have on foot q project
to petition Congress to pension
the women and children who
lost their protectors IN various
Mexicans raids along the Bor.
der that II would be better 10
contine the Memorial to local
friends.
The most practical suggestion
of all is that the memorial take
the place of a park near the
southern part of the town which
in course of time will be as great
a beautitier and comfort to the
town of Columbus as is the park
in FL PasO.
Promise of plenty of water has
been given, this being half the
battle as all know, where green
ness is expected. The total cost
of memorial of this kind would
be- small, and it would serve the
living and still keep before all
comers the memory Of those in
nocent victims of March 9th.
