Base Ball Battings

We have met the enemy and
we are theirs" This was not
exactly Perry's message after
the naval battle on lake Erie,
but it was the message OF the
Clovis fan-uu.s after their en-
gagement with the Ros we'll all
star ball team Sunday afternoon
at the North Park ball grounds.
The score stood nine to one in
favor of the visitors and it was
not until the last inning that
Clovis broke the goose egg"
line up. While Clovis has one
of the best teams it has had for
many years, there is no disput-
ing the fact that they were en-.
tirely out classed. In fact you
can take it from US that the
Roswell aggregation has any
thing in New Mexico out classed.
The valley bunch have never be-
fore assembled such a team,
which has won every game
played this year. Their winning
streak is not due to good luck
but to first class ball playing.
While the game was a one sided
affair. it was the best played
here this season. The atten-
dance was small.

With the ordering of the mi

ness of the Mexican situation is
being realized. Not since the
outbreak of the Spanish Ameri.
eau war in 1893 has there been
such feverish excitement in mill
tary circles la This country as at
the present Time. Whether we
have war will now depend upon
the attitude of CarraOza when

to withdraw American troops |
from Mexico on its way to the
de facto government, embodied |
in a note sternly arraignlng the
whole course of General Carran-
"a in the situation which has
brought the two countries to the
verge OF war, the administration
continued To make its prepara

that may arise.
War or peace rests with Gen
eral Carranza. The position OF
the United States is polntedly
set forth in its review of the ap-
parent inability OF CarranZa to
prevent border raids and to keep
the obligation he owes the world
by the preservation OF order in
his domlnions.
AT the cabinet meeting the
opinion prevailed that tn e
chances were overwhelmingly in
the direction of war. The one
hope was that General Carranza ;
would be impressed by the mill ,
tary preparations of the United {
States and make no further
effort to have American troops
withdrawn. There has been no
indication. however, that Car s

Very truly yours,
A. B. Wagner,
Postmaster.
June 13, 1916.
Postmaster,
Clovis New Mexico.

In reply to your letter of the
28th uIino, relating to the es-
tablishment Of city delivery ser.
vice at Clovis, you are informed
that the law provides that letter
carriers may be employed for
the free delivery Of mail at any
city containing a population of
not less than 10000 within its
corporate limits, according to
the latest Federal or State cen
sus, or at any post Office which
produced a gross revenue for
the preceding fiscal year ended
June Goth of not less than SO,
900.
In addition the Department
has adopted the policy of re-
quirlng that at least eighty five
per cent of the prospective pa
irons shall provide private re-
ceptacles or slots in their doors
for the receipt of mail, and that
street lights, street signs, street
crossings, house numbers and
good continuous sidewalks shall
be provided throughout the terri
tory to be served prior to the
establishment of city delivery
service.
As the gross receipts of Clovis
amounted to S1l, ia for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1915,
it is desired you advise this
Bureau the area in Clovis that
IS provided with the public
improvements requisite for city
delivery; state whether the Sec
lions so provideded are con-
.iguous; and approximate the
population of the territory in
which these improvements are
installed.
1t is also desired that you for
ward a copy of the train sched-
lies and indicate the hours of
