CLAIMS ALLIES SHORT
 OF AMMUNITION
Guns Are Also Lacking in the British Ranks and 0ffenSiveS Planned
 Are Abandoned.

BERLIN, Nov. 1O.-The stiftening Of the German defense in Somme, which is credited here with stopping the push on Bapaume and Peronne and limiting the advance of the French and British to insignificant gains, is due to the restoration of the equilibrium in the matter of ar tinery between the two armies.
 Now that this has been achieved, it may be stated that Germany in August was confronted with diff cultes in the supply of munitions and the replacement of worn out or damaged guns, which, 1t is de- clared. was largely responsible for the successes then scored by the Allies. For the second time during the war-the first being during the concluding phases of the 1914 cam paign-the German experts found that their calculations were outrun by facts and were faced by a con- sumption of guns and shells far be- yond what was expected.
 The formation or department or munitions, is an outward sign of their determination not again to be caught mapping. but to increase the production of munitions Co the ut most possibilities German industry in the production already had pass ed the requirements of immediate consumption, but as Field Marshal l yon Hindenberg. chief Of Staff re- gently declared, it must not stop here, and a margin Of safety must be established limited only by the possibilities of production, as is all ready the case in enemy countries

OTTAWA. Nov 1O.-Get Canada all set to jump in and corner the cattle trade ct the end of the war, by bolsterlng the farmer financially now. that he may have an adequate stock of cattle in hand and be ready to stand up for big demands.
 This was the advice of John Bright. livestock commissioner to the DOminion's Royal Commissioner.
 With the war eXterminating Eur opean cattle" he said. "the whole world must look to this continent for its supply in the years to come. There is no reason why Canada can not be prepared to get the big part of the trade if she is ready"

very enjoyable afternoon last
Friday at the home of Mrs. Rob-
erts. The house was prettily
decorated in holiday colors and
evergreens. Mrs. Rousseau as
sisted her mother in receiving
and entertaining the guests. The
entire afternoon was given to a
social good time. Many books
read by different members were
reviewed and discussed, and the
hostess and some of the members
told a number of laughable and
interesting stories of incidents of
travel. The guests fingered over
"a delicious repast reluctant to

HERE'S SOME
RAILROAD TALK

The Santa Fe New Mexican
yesterday printed the following
That the negotiations between
Receiver Ely, of the New Mexico
Central, and A. Preyer, Dutch
capitalist, do not promise a sue
cessful outcome; and that Mr..
Preyer is deeply interested in
the railroad and development
situation, is shown by CORE
spondence received by the Cham
ber of Commerce as follows:
Here is Mr.. Ely's letter:
Chicago, Dec. 20, 1915.
Mr.. George R. Van Stone, Secy.
Chamber of Commerce, Santa
! Fe, New Mexico.
My Dear Mr.. Van Stone:
This is to let you know that I
am discontinuing negotiations
with Mr.. A. Pfeyer for the pur-
chase of the New Mexico Central
railroad and for this extension,
for the reason that, whatever
his resources may be, it is his
manifest purpose to do business
entirely on strength of our prop
erty and of our stock subscrip-
tions, putting in none of his own
money even in the beginning.
Upon this basis do not believe
that he can succeed.
| am resuming negotiations
with a stronger, though possibly
a somewhat slower acting crowd,
and assure you that thorough
ly appreciate the spirit which
you and your associates manifest
ed. We won't quit until we get
your road for you.
With kindest personal regards,
and the best wishes of the sea
son, | am,
Yours very truly,
RALPH G. LILY.
Mr.. PREYER,S LETTER.
Mr.. Preyer writes as follows:
Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 80, 1915
Chamber Of Commerce. Santa
Fe, New Mexico.
Gentlemen:
Referring to my recent visit to
New Mexico in connection with
proposed railroad construction, |
beg to say that since my return
to Chicago I have given my en-
tire time and attention TO the
preliminary organization of such
an enterprise, and as soon as
these organization matters are
concluded | am again coming tc
Santa Fe with the hope of
facilitating matters by personal
ly being on the ground.
One thing | beg to assure you
that I am more convinced than
ever that | will not take any
bonus from any community with
out giving common stock Of the
railroad company in an amount
equal to that bonus. I want ev-
cry citizen of New Mexico that
can possibly do so to be interest
ed in this enterprise. This will
never develop into cheap pro-
motion scheme as long as | am
connected with it. but I am de.
termined to put my best business
ability and energy behind it and
make a business proposition for
| New Mexico out of it.
Another thing-I am deter
termined that | want every com
munity that takes at least $3.50,
900 of common stock to name
man on the board of directors
| would not think of going int
this matter unless | felt that thu
people Of New Mexico reall.
wanted it, and | not only wan
their support but want their co
operation and advice, and thi
seems to me the best way to ge
it.
When I left New Mexico ha
hoped my plans would be furthe
advanced by this time than the
now are, but | am delayed b
my inability to secure the neces
sary data in connection with tn
New Mexico Central railroad
