-Four horses and seven head Of cat

the vicinity OF the Atrisco farms. In
not ono single instance is there any
evidence that the livestock strayed
away. In the case OF two head from
Mr. Stroup's place. found yesterday
fourteen miles away, 1t was a clear
case of stealing. Dairy cows do not
wander fourteen miles, opening and
closing three gates as they go.

letters sent out by Mr.. Ross was re-
covered at Las Vegas About two

stolen livestock.

account, communicated to him by
Mexican of Castilian ancestry, of the
origin of the name "gringo" COM

the Rio Grande. In lS46-7, it is said,
United States soldiers engaged in the
invasion OF Mexico had for their

Mexican memory in association with
the American soldier and soon be-

over point which was difficult to
hold--which was. in fact an invita-
ton TO attack and to attack under the
most favorable circumstances for the
assailant To give up Verdun,
now under the terrific fire Of the
most extensive artillery concentration
the world had ever seen. was to give
over a few miles of French territory
that and nothing more.
TO keep Verdun meant TO spend
many thousand lives to lose II meant,
from the military standpoint, Just
nothing, since the hills south Of YER
dun were quite as-suitablo for defen-
sve operations. They were beyond
the reach Of the German heavy ar
tillery as It was then in position, and
behind these hills the French could
concentrate artillery and men in suf-
ficient quantity to meet the German
concentration, which will have to be
moved forward over several miles to
reach the new front. Thus for many
days Paris and London believed that
Nerdun would be evacuated, and Ber-
lin doubtless knowing the French
point of view, steadily insisted upon
the approaching fan of the town
But the French high command did
not have its way. one hears much in
history OF the evil consequences Of
the interference with the soldier for
which the politician Is responsible.
Concevably, the case Of Nerdun may
prove one example Of the wisdom Of
the politician and the inferior judy
ment Of the soldier. At all events
the French statesmen, the prime min
lister, members Of the cabinet. MEM
bers Of the two branches Of the legis-
lature promptly appreciated the po-
ltica as contrasted with the military
aspects of Nerdun. They recognized
what the effect upon the world would
be OF shining German success, of a
success that would shine because
whatever the military fact, the civil
legend concerning Verdun made of 1t
a Gibraltar.
There was then "A sudden crisis a
real crisis in the political life of the
republic. The civilian government
said to the military, "Verdun must be
defended il must be defended be-
cause of its value, it's moral value Is
incalculable." To this opinion the
military mind yielded, and mainly, It
is said, because General de Castenau,
the second in command, finally came
to see the situation as the politician
saw 1t. AS result, de Castelnau
Went to Vcrdun. The man who had
saved Nancy undertook at the elev-
enth hour TO save Verdun, and he sue
ceeded. With him he took Petain,
who will always be remembered in
French history as the actual defender
OF Verdun.
At Verdun, soldiers ana ambulance
drivers alike told me of the electrical
effect OF the coming of these two
men. For several days the crowds of
inhabitants of the villages hastily
evacuated as the German advance
was pushed and elogged the roads.
Men said to one another, "C'est la re-
aite"--'Thls means retreat" But
suddenly there was an end of retreat;
the lines held The famous Twentieth
corps, the Iron corps Of so many
great achievements, arrived Men,
munitions, guns and still more guns
arrived. AT the end of ten days the
immediate peril was over.

NEWSPAPER CRITICISM.

An interesting controversy has re-
Gently come to an end In New York
The "Times," OF that city. made ad-
verse criticism Of certain plays pro-
duced by the Shuberts, who thereup-
on refused to admit TO their theaters
the dramatic critic OF the Times
The newspaper brought suit against
the shuberts, winning In the lower
courts only TO have the judgment set
aside on appeal. After the final de-
olsion of the case tho Shuberts re-
Tented In their attitude and announc-
ed that the Times critic may re-
sumo his visits to their theaters and
his criticisms Of their productions
IL is a curious fact that many peo-
pie who are absolutely dependent up
on public support for their success
should fail TO zee that nothing can
be gained and that much Is always
lost by open antag0nism to the press.
u is particularly strange that such
able theatrical magnatcs ns the Shu-
berts should fall into so fundamental
an error az to exclude from their
houses the representative Of 80 power
mi newspaper as the Times, A some
what similar controversy arose n
humber OF years ago between Life
and the leaders OF the so-oalled the
atrical trust. Life" suffered no
loss of money or prestige. The trust
did.
The belief prevails among many
people that newspaper Is all-pow-
erful, and that public opinion rs
shaped by its uttcranees. This Is
true only TO very limited extent
The axiom that you can't fool all tho
people all the time is as true today
az II was when Lincoln uttered It. A
newspaper which is unfair or dis
honest soon becomes known MS such,
and It's utterancos carry little weight
when this takes place. The fact
that the shuberts changed their at
titude towards the Times at the
conclusion OF the litigation between
the two may be taken as fairly strong
evidence that they had come TO II
realization Of this fact.
A famous man once made this ap
peal to the newspapers praise mo

but for Gods sake don't ignore me"

fore the public would take this atti-

The mother of months in meadow

Fills the shadows and windy places
With lisp of leaves and ripple Of

Is half assuaged for Itylus,
For the Thracan ships and the for
eign faces,
The tongueless vigil. and all the
pain.
Come with bows bent and with emp
ing of quivers,
Maiden most perfect, lady of light,
With 4 noise of winds and many riv-
ers,
With clamor of waters, and with
might;
Bind on thy sandals, o thou most
fleet.

feet
For the faint east qulckens. the wan

Round the feet of the day and the

The light that loses. the night that

And frosts are slain and flowers be-

force during his administration.
Strangely enough. his most notable
party achievements have been for
gotten. The efforts OF his enemies
to attack his tariff record and the
efforts Of his supporters 20 make
capital for him out of the federal re-
serve bank and trade commission
acts are alike futile. The public
cares little for the issues Of 1917
in the ovorshadowing presence OF the
issues Of 1916.
And the issues OF 1916, as the pres
ident himself has pointed out, depend
not so much upon what is done in
Washington as upon what Is done in
Berlin and London and Paris and
Petrograd Foreign affairs have in
truded themselves upon public at
tention 10 the exclusion Of domes-
tic policies. And foreign affairs are
not one-sided, as has been demon
stratod many times In the last two
years In It's last analysis the sue
cession to the presidency this year
may be determined in some one Of
tho European capitals.
Democrats may take comfort from
the fact that never IN the history Of
the country has there been a change
of administration while an lnterna-
tional crisis was pending, and II is
certain that the United states will be
face TO face with an international
crisis until the great world war now
raging has come TO an end. But al
ways we get back TO the proposition
that this is the most abnormal year.
politically, that the nation has ever
seen. and that no rule or precedent
OF the past may serve as safe guide
to forecast the future.
