GERMAN SPY KILLED IN Ell
PASO WAS HERE LAST WEEK

Chas. ii. Feige, German spy killed
IN FL Paso, was here one day las,
week visiting cousin who lives here
lie registered at the Vorenberg from
New York, and was very quiet and
unassuming fellow. He did not talk
much at the hotel but spent most OF
the day with his cousin. The follow
ing account is given in the daily pa.
pers:
In morgue in FL Paso lies the
corpse of Charles II. Feige, the Ger
man who was shot Saturday nigh,
while attempting to cross into Mexico
by eluding the United States army
patrols. No relatives or friends OF
the dead German have yet claimed the
body and he may be buried in the To-
cal pauper's field Christmas day il nc
one appears to claim it.
Felge, graduate of the University
of Wisconsin in the electrical engin-
eerng department with the class Of
1906, appeared near outpost number
3. in the suburbs cf the city, Satur-
day. He made repeated efforts to go
across the line and offered two Texas
rangers money to assist him in cross
ing. He carried small camera and
had papers in his possession which in
dicated he was German secret SER
vice agent gathering data for the Ger.
man government.
He was shot and killed as he ran
across the border. Three pistol shots
were first fired and then corporal OF
the guard fired shot with a high
power service rifle, killing the man
instantly. He was well dressed and
wore clothes purchased in New York.
Federal officials here are confident he
was "A German spy"
His cousin in Tucumcari has very
little to say only, "If he was that
kind of "A man he got what he de-
served"

LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL
WINS BOTH GAMES
FROM FORT SUMNER

The Fort Summer basket ball teams
were defeated at the High School Au-
ditorium last Friday night before a
large audience of interested fans.
The girls from TT. Sumner forced
the local girls to do their best and
while the score does not show this
vouch for the statement. The visitor,
were fast and strong and at no time
did the local team feel it had the game
cinched. The score was 20 10 : in fa-
yor of Tucumcari Misses Campbell
Reynolds, Steckman, Chapman, Ger
hardt and Whitmore composed the 10.
cal team and they are mighty hard
aggregation to defeat.
The boys sprung new team on the
local fans. Coach Jackson played the
second team in the first half and they
showed up fast and clean defeating
their heavier opponents by large mai
gin. Gerhardt and Phillips starred
in throwing baskets from the field, but
every boy on the team worked fast and
showed good form.
After few minutes play in the last
half the first team went in and they
played hard but much rougher than
the other boys. Fort Sumner had a
few rough fellows on the team and had
the referee so desired he could have
put one or two of them out for person
al fouls, but the first team was equal
to the occasion anC with Cusack Diy
on and Schaif playing in form they
ran the score up to 80 points while
the visitors only secured 10 during the
game.
The game was played for Red
Cross benefit and the local chapter re-
ceived Il nice sum as its share.

Fully agreeing with the stand taken
by President Wilson, Premier Lloyd
George told the house Of commons
with the present rulers Of Germany
and that the war must 20 on until the
militarist caste In Prussia has been
completely broken. Germany, he de-
elared, must be forced tc give up the
lands she has invaded and compensate
for losses. and the disposition OF her
former colonial possessions must be
settled In the peace conference and
with regard to the desires Of their In
habitsnts. Mesopotamia, Armenia and
Jerusalem can never be given back TO
Turkey, he said. but Great Britain did
not enter the war for the territorial
aggrandizement Of any nation.
Reviewing the military situation. Mr..
Lloyd George admitted that II was
serious. mainly because of the defec-
tion OF Russia. and he warned Britain
that its man power would have TO be
increased to the limit and that the
pledges given 20 labor In 1916 regard
Ing men exempted must be altered or
Cancelled. The results Of the British
campaign, he admitted, had not come
up to expectations, but, looking at the
brighter side, Germany has had but
one victory. the surprise attack south
of Cambria. German workers have de-
Perforated about 33 per cent because
OF poor food. the permanent losses OF
the German army have been four or
five times as great as those sustained
by the British. the losses Of the Ital.
ians are not to be compared with those
Of the Austrians, and the submarine
campaign is gradually being overcome
America Urged to Get Up Speed.
President Wilson and his admins
tration received several impressive
warnings last week that America must
get up more speed These came from
delegates to the recent interallled con
ference In Paris. First to report was
Colonel House, the chairman Of the
delega ton, and though the details OF
his statement were not made public, Il
is known that he laid before Mr.. VII
son facts and hgurcs that proved tht
allies must exert their maximum
strength In the quickest possible time
and that their war activities must b,
co-ordinated ana waste and delay re
duced to u minimum.

MERCHANTS ENJOY SPLENDID
CHRISTMAS BUSINESS

Nearly every merchant in Tucum-
carl was well pleased with his holiday
trade. Some of them said this year
was the best they had ever had since
coming to'Tucumcari.
The American people observe Christ
mas more than any other day of the
year. They were taught to reverence
the day during their youth Most of
the parents received gifts when they
were young and it is no more than
right that they should teach their chill
dren to lookout for Santa Clause and
honor the birthday of Christ.

WALTON LANDS CHARM ANsHIP

.
Washington, Dec. 2l.-At the eau
Gus held by the Democrats of the ma
tional house of representatives, fol-
lowing the convening of the regular
session of the 65th congress, several
changes in committee chairmanships
were made.
! Congressman w. b. Walton, of New
Mexico, one of the newest members
of the house, was unanimously chosen
as chairman of the committee on ev-
/ penditures of the department of JUS
tice, succeeding Congressman John +.
Raker. of California, who was elected
chairman of the committee on suf-
frage.
/ In selecting Mr.. Walton for chair
man Of the expenditures committee,
unusual recognition of his ability was
given, since it is almost an ironclad
rule that chairmanships of the vari-
Gus committees only shall go to those
members who have served in congress
for many years.
/ Because of the war the committee
on expenditures of the department of
justice will have great deal of work
to do, the department of justice hav-
ing extended its scope of work ma
terially.
