REGIMENT Of
NEW MEXICO NOW
PRACTICALLY UP TO
REQUIRED STRENGTH
ALL BUT ONE COMPANY is NOW
MUSTERED INTO FEDERAL SER
VICE; STEADY DRILLING PRO-
DucEs EFFICIENCY.

Deming. N. NJ, July S-Writing to
the Graphic from Columbus, Clyde
Earl Ely says;
The New Mexico regiment is prac-
tically up to the required strength,
all but one company being mustered
in. 1t has been a tough and long
pull, but the end is in view. While
recruiting has been going on, the
companies have been drilling conscf-
entiously until their efficiency is al
most uptto that of the regular estab-
lishment. Equipping the regiment
for field service has been no small
undertaking. Tons of stores, incIud-
ing ordnance, clothing and engineer
ing property, have been received and
either checked out to individuals or
to the units.
"Of course the boys are speculat-
ing on the future. War now seems
certain. At the present time the
New Mexico regiment is doing garri-
son duty al the Columbus base,- This
is important since the supply depot
for the Pershing column is here. But
it seems like that this duty will soon
be taken over by eastern militia or
CARNATIONS. The New Mexicans ore
equipped and acclimated and it would
seem reasonable that they should be-
the first to join the troops at the adj
vanced base. The present regular
army is too small to take any consid-
cradle part in a real war. The citi
zens must take the field to do that
which could better be done by pro
fessional soldiers.
There may be peace or there may
be war, but the wind is hell just the
same. Old settlers say that such a.
windy season has not been expert
snced since the country was settled"

200 ARMED MEXICANS
WORK NEAR CLOVIS
NEED OF HOME GUARD URGED
BY NEWSPAPER; MEN ARE
RAILROAD LABoRERS

Clovis, N. M, July 5.-Home guards
are being organized in many towns
throughout the state, since the mill
tia have departed for the front and
the Mexican situation appears so SER
ious. The News" suggests that this
course be adopted in Clovis, saying:
with over five hundred armed Mex
leans within a few miles of the city
and a declaration of war with their
mother country looked for each day,
a little precaution and preparedness
would not come amiss. These Old
Mexico poems are employed by the
Santa Fe Railway company and that
company should insist that they either
give up their arms or their employ
ment. The News is reliably informed
that they have bought all the guns
and ammunition available in Here
ford, Bovina, Friona and other points
where they are engaged in laying heav-
Ter steel for the road. You may not
be an alarmist, fellow citizens. but
you may be convinced of our unpre-
paredness after it is too late.D

Says Postmaster Scligfpln

"There is no booze-I wish every
parent in the state knew that" he
added.
Whether Captain Seligman will go
with the guard into the federal SER
vice is not known and there has been
some speculation In political and ar
circles regarding the status of a
postmaster who is called to service
In the guard by q presidential order.
1t Is generally understood that Ofi.
cials OF the government are exempt
from duty. but should they desire to
serve, the question Of their status
with the government does not seem
to be well understood. There have
been rumors thot Captain Seligman
must resign his job as postmaster to
serve as captain and there have been
rumors that the government will not
require this Of him or any other Off
Gals. He did not discuss the matter
for publication today, but when the
time comes for mastering in the en-
tire regiment with officers into fed
eral service, Captain Seligman will
likely determine on his course of ac-
tion. He has been serving with the
guard OF the border since May II,
the date Of the call for troops. In
his absence Robert L. Stevenson. as
sistant postmaster, has been acting
postmaster.

SANTA Re WILL PAY
BENEFITS TO FAMILIES
OF DEAD EMPLOYEES

The Santa Fe railway has just per-
lfected a plan by which benefits will
be paid the families of employees who
die in the service Of the company.
The circular letter of President
Edward P. Ripley, announcing the
plan, which became effective July /,
was received here today by Harvey S.
Lutz, local Santa Fe representative.
This letter says:
Beginning July l, 1916, the com.
pany proposes to pay to such party
or PARTIES as such employee, dying
while in its service and who has been
IN it's employ for two or more years
continuously may have designated in
writing as his beneficiary or benefit.
Charles, or, in case of failure to make
such designation, then to his next
kin dependent upon him. a sum equal
to five per cent Of the salary or
wage received by him during the
twelve months Immediately preceding
his death, multiplied by the number
of years of continuous service, pro-
vided that the maximum amount to
be so paid shall be one years pay, but
in no case shall exceed $4,000; and
provided further, that the minimum
shall be $3.50"
The plan is to be tried for two
years, the circular announces, and
the company hopes that it win work
out in such a manner that it can be
continued indefinitely.
Several examples of the system
that will be followed in computing
benefits are given. The beneficiaries
Of an employee who had been in the
Of the company for six years,
md who had earned $1,000 a year,
would be entitled to 5 per cent of
1920 for each OF the six years, or

Therein f. A. Secord tells what villa

f. A. Secord for many years was con-
nected with the telegraph department OF

he left Omaha and went to Texas to
take the superintendency OF the telegraph
lines of the Ell Paso & Southwestern road.
The Ell Paso operates a line of road

der, for a distance of some 9OC miles.
During the last couple OF months Villa,
according to Mr.. Secord, has been MAX
ing raids across the border. tearing up
the railroad track and destroying tho
telegraph line. When men have been sent
out to make repairs from the Mexican
side, Villas men have taken potshots at
them with fatal results.
Now villa, according to the letter from

railroad and telegraph lines. and thai
he is going to get all men sent out &c
