There is no doubt now that the rejection

lies viii be emphatic and fihal-not to say
determined and enthusiastic.
The fact itself can not be regarded other
wise than significant Of the position IN
which the allies believe themselves to be-
and they should know.
A unanimous and crisp rejection of any
kind Of a peace offer hardly means that the
allies are in the parlous state attributed to
them by the Germans. Apparently there is
no sign Of weakening IN any quarter. The
unanimity and firmness with which all in

'Wagner's Appointments

The tender of the office Of assistant state
schcol superintendent by Superintendent
elect Wagner to John v. Conway, Santa re
county superintendent, is an Intelligent ap'
pointmept.
We hope Mr.. Conway will accept it, II
there IS reasonable assurance that a sue.
oessor in this county will be a person who
can continue the Conway work and meth
DDS and ideas, in cooperation with the
Santa Fe club women, the farmers and the
teachers, without interruption or change.
II Conway should accept the state POSI-,
iion, 1t viii give him a chance to apply to
rural communities throughout the native
sections the same methods which have
proven so well adapted to conditions in the
outside precincts Of Santa Re county. We
believe the SUCCESS and the wisdom and the
effectiveness Of these methods have been
fully demonstrated. There is no doubt that
Conway's enthusiasm and energy and un
derstandipg Of conditions would make him
a valuable man to the state In the job OF
assistant superintendent And this does moi
reflect at all upon the excellent work done
by the present Industrious incumbent Of the
position. But Conway has had a peculiar
training for just this kind of work.

5000 Marines to Have
Merry Christmas

Washington-Through the efforts Of the
American Red Cross, who recently issued
an appeal TO Americans to remember the
United States marines in their Christmas
giving, 5000 of the soldiers Of the sea now
in the field in Haiti and Santo Domingo,
are to receive holiday gifts, according 70
Mrs. leila Montague Barnett, who is chair
man OF the special committee. Of the Red
Cross in this city.
Candy, tobacco. writing material, hand
kerchiefs and other gifts win be sent to the
men who, on account Of strenuous field SER
vice in the island republics. are forced to
dispense with the comforts and small Lux
uries enjoyed BY their comrades at home.
Although some Of the necessary funds
were contributed from other sources, the
marines stationed IN the continental posts
were first to answer the appeal, and it is
largely through the latter's efforts that
their o~ver.thesea brothers win receive re-
membranes at Christmas time.

A Splendid Advertisement

The $4,000 Christmas edition Of art and
Archaeology is probably the most valuable
single advertisement Santa Fe has had in
years. An artistic and typographical tri-
umph, it goes far to establish before the
country Santa FEES fame as a national cul-
tural center. It presents in impressive
form Santa Fe's unique claims to distinc-
ton; it affords a wonderful insight into the
lure and the beauty and the fascination OF
the old city; and as a tourist-trade getter,
on the commercial side of the proposition,
its glimpse Of the archaeological and seen
ic attractions Of Santa Fe district should
bring direct and immensely valuable results
to the city.

METROPOLITAN CLAYTON

Clayton Citizen: The town OF Clayton is
surely putting on metropolitan airs these
days. AT a recent meeting Of the board an
ordinance was passed providing for the
parking Of cars In the center Of the street.
Today the new town marshal, Mr.. Kerlin,
began enforcing the ordinance and soon had
a long string Of cars, little cars, big cars,
old cars, new cars, yes, all kinds Of cars
lined up in the middle Of the street. This
was sure some sight, and when big Mon
day rolls around again it win be a greater
sight, when all the progressive farmers VIII
are owners Of Fords and other makes OF
cars come to town. It is our opinion that
Clayton can boast of having more cars than
any town Ia the state Of It's size. The nrdi-
nance also provides for the securing OF
teams along the curbing, This is a spiens
did provision as it win avoid accidents caus-
ed by rup-aways. Now. when the marshal
gets busy and exterminates some Of the
superfluous CANNES and provides a curfew
for minors, this will surely be a good place

MAY CALL MORE GUARDsMEN

Washington, June l7-Warning
from Mexican commanders that any
movement of American troops except
in retirement toward the border
would precipitate hostilities will not
change the purpose of the United
States government to keep its expedi-
tion in northern Mexico or prevent
General Pershing from taking any
steps necessary to insure the safety
OF his own columns and deal with ban
dts threatening the border. No ad-
vance further south is contemplated
and it is not believed here the Car
rama forces are planning an imme-
diate attack upon the American
forces.
The War department today was
without advices from General Persh-
ing regarding the warning said to
have been sent him by General Tre-
vino, but General Funston reported
the substance of telephone conver-
sation he had with General Bell at
FL Paso, who stated it as fact that
such warning had been given. Di-
plomatic officials were inclined to be-
lieve that if General Trevino did
serve warning it was for home con-
sumption. They thought it might be
a political move by General Garranza
designed to offset the activities of the
anti-American element in Mexico.
General Funston reported also that
Major Gray of the Fourteenth caval-
ry, commanding the two troops at
tackled by Mexicans at San Ignacio,
Tex, recently, had returned from an
effort to pick up the trail of the ban-
dts. The cavalry crossed to the
Mexican side, but encountered none
OF the outlaws.
Major Gray reported he had receive
ed assurances of cooperation from
Carranza military commanders across
