lay apprehension Of Mexicans
along the border that they
might be drafted into the army,
the government today issued IA
denial of any such intention.
Reports coming from the
Mexican border" said an offic-

that a general belief exists
among Mexican laborers that if

CONSUMPTION. There is, of couIs Sc,
no intention on the part Of the
American government of draft
ing foreigners into military SER
vice, and II is hoped that the
press and citizens generally will
DO all they can to make this
clear to Mexicans and other

Government Officials
Meet People at
Roswell May 10th.

In order that the Interior De-
parLment might better under
stand the real conditions which
exist relative to drift fences"
and foreclosures of the public
the representatives of
the government by previous an
Douncement met the people at
Roswell ON the 10th Inst, to-
hear both sides of the question.
The representatives of the goY-
eminent were:
J. D. Yelverton, chief of the
field service of the Department
Of the Interior.
II. B. Gibbs, chief OF the field
division embracing New Mexico
and Arizona
Harry g. Coors, assistant at
torney for the United States.
These officials made it PLAIN
that the Department would not
tolerate the maintainance of
drift fences and enclosing of
public lands for the benefits of
individuals where it was shown
to be depriving other citizens OF
equal privileges or hindering
their Tree passage over and use
Of the public domain.
They also made it plain that
it was not the purpose of the
Department toin anyway hinder
or cripple The best industry of
the country, viz: Live stock in
dustry. In ltI,cr wordsif these
drift fences and illegal inclos-
ures were working to the best
interests of the country, they
wished to know it. To this end
they invited all to have their
say, stating the real facts.
The DeODle having these fences
were urged to "come clean"
with their cases. File their plats
and give full particulars as to
why this fence should stand. If
there are any good reasons why
a fence should not stand, they
are equally anxious to know
the facts connected Herewith.
Emmett Patton, chairman of
the meeting, named the follow
ing committee to assist the
stockmen to get up the data and
maps and to give a general COM
munity report Of the merits of
the drift fence:
j. t. Hmkle, chairman; }. M.
IIervey, Q l. Ballard. John w l..
Rhea, w. M. Atkinson, M. L.
Cottingham and Will johnson.
Many points in favor of the
drift fence were advanced in
the meeting as follows;
Winter feeding would not be
sible without the fence.
Eradication of diseases could
not be obtained and dipping
would not be profitable
Bsttering the herds by breed.
ing would be impracticable.
Also the stockman and the
homesteader should work hand
in hand IN the matter of a drift
fence as many a homesteader
could not keep cattle on the
range ii it was not for the big
stockman's drift fences.

Three distinct battles were fought.
Evidence shows that at least one of

The truth was made public in the
plain, unvarnished tale of Rear Ad-'

final and official report to the Navy
department.
Great warships evaded the sinuous
undersea craft with remarkable dex-

submarines in the night. Smaller

man torpedoes fired from at least two
submarines. Admiral Gleaves believes
the submarines had been trailing the
ships all during the day of June g.

She had set the clock as usual at five

Lower House Not to Act on Bill Until

Washington, Aug. 4.-National pro

would help the prohibition cause.
Representative Randall of Califor:

Congress, issued a statement declar
ing that ''the friends of national pro
hibition have been finn TANNED by the
liquor lobby in the constitutional
amendment adopted" He added that
"a great jollification'' was held by

ton hotel and that well-defned ru.
NOR had sprung up that the six-year
clause added on Senator Harding's mo.
ton was really written by the brew.
ers' attorneys.
Sees Joker in New Clause.
"The joker is not in the six-year
handicap ITSELF" said Mr.. Randall,
though that is without a single prece-
dent in history. The Harding clause
provides that this article shall be in.
operative unless ratified within six
years. The impression is that the pro.
hibition amendment would not become
a part of the Constitution unless so
ratified. The fact is it will become a
part of the Constitution if. ratified
after the time limit, but will be inop-
erative. This promises long years of
litigation. The whole campaign to Sc.
cure ratification by the state will be
clouded by this uncertain language.
"The duty of the House of Repre-.
sentatives is clear. Throw out the
