Uncle Sam Needs You in the
New Mexico National Guard
Uncle Sam needs men!


He needs them of all this minute in the national
guard because the national guard the first of the military
organizations the regulars to be called into service
Here are some facts about the national guard of New
Mexico
/. The New Mexico guardsmen called into camp at
Albuquerque In point of training they will have
than three months advantage the first of the drafted
g. Heretofore, except in time the pay of the private
soldier has been $l3 per month"; and just little when
in actual war service The pay will be either $40 $50
per month, food clothing and shelter There few in
Albuquerque married unmarried who able to lay aside
$50 a month above expenses
8 There will be board of regular army Officers to pass
the qualifications of all of the commissioned officers of
the New Mexico national guard and any officer found unable
to up to the standard of the regular army will be
given his discharge and officer who does up
the standard will be assigned to his place
4. Some of the officers will be weeded ont and intelli-
gent energetic prlvaes will take their places No political
pull will have anything to do with it, 1t will be matter of
qualification solely
5. The who enter the service now as New Mexico
guards1en will have just much training the in the
officers training camp at the Pesdo and considering other
qualifications, will have almost good chance of promotion
because trained will be required for the second draft as
well as to replace officers who may drop for
another.
g. AS indicated in the Associated Press story from Wash
ngton, it has been definitely decided what use is to be
made of the national guard units Part of them doubtless will
be sent to Europe and part of them will be kept guard the
border Practically any who go Europe will
have an opportunity to do because there will be lot of
the guardsnen who if they wished it themselves would
yield to entreaties of mothers go long not re-
qured to do
But Uncle Sam needs men, and the enlistment officers are
calling for you fill up the New Mexico national guard and
you can perform patriotic duty than enlist before
the draft is called.
Another thing. Remember that under the law that is
in process of passing you enlist in the national guard only for
the duration of the You will be discharged from the
guard when the You will have opportunity

you go Europe stay home will be necessary

Chicago, May 13.-Board Of trade d.

wheat situation, and at the end of a
six-hour conference In the Union
League club, President Joseph P. Grif-
fin said no statement would be given
out until after another meeting is held
at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
All the leading private wire broker
age firms were notified during the
day that members of such firms
would meet at S:45 o'clock Monday
morning "to discuss trade conditions
and to see what action could be taken
regarding trades in wheat and May
corn, the calling of margins and other
features which would call for prompt
action"
None of the leading officers Of the
board of trade would discuss the
probable action of the directors.
Among the members with no official
connection with the organization, it
was said that the likelihood was an

and would entail losses on the farmers
and others who have contracts to fill

The advance OF 25 cents in July
wheat on Saturday and of SO cents
last week has led many brokers, IT is
said, to believe that the only way to
check the soaring of prices is to re-
strict trading to present commitments.
None of the officers of the board
would admit that possibility of gov
ernment actions influenced them in
considering the market situation, and
federal officials said there was no ac-
tion impending on their part 30 far as

Washington, May l3.--Congress be-
gins the sixth week of war tomorrow
with the calendars of both houses
still filled with legislation which the
administration feels Is essential to the
successful conduct of the conflict
with Germany.
The senate after two weeks debate
on the espionage bill, drawn by the
department of justice, is expected to
pass that measure tomorrow.
The house probably will conclude
discussion of the 00,000,000 war
revenue bill early in the week and send
it to the senate, where TWO days or
committee hearings have indicated
that many changes are to be made in
its structure before it goes to the
White House for the presidents sig
nature.
The espionage bill has been stripped
of the press censorship section which
caused much opposition to Its pas
sage The injection of an amendment
last night prohibiting the use OF
cereals or grains in the manufacture
of intoxicants, although bitter pill to
the foes of prohibition, will not greatly
delay the passage OF the measure.
Plans of the leaders in the senate
are not clear as to which measure of
the several important ones that shall
he taken up after the espionage, but
'lt Is probable It will be the food con-
troll bill. -
Conferees on the war army bill,
called to meet tomorrow because the
house, after once rejecting the so
called Roosevelt amendment now
wants 1t put in, are not expected to
take long at their task. Since the
Roosevelt amendment originated in
the senate, it is possible that the army
measure can be disposed of without
much debate.

HEAD OF PETR0GRAD
GARRISON RESIGNS

Petrograd, May 13 (via London) -
General Korniloff, commander Of the
Petrograd garrison, resigned today.
The general explained that his resig-
nation was due to an impossible po-
sition arising from the efforts Of va
rious organizations to control the
garrison, and added:
We'll, then, let them take the re-
sponsibility.
The last straw which led to the
commanders resignation was the de-
mand made yesterday by the execu-
tive committee Of the council Of SOL
diers' and workmen's delegates that
all Korniloffs orders should be pre-
sented to the committee for its en-
dorsement. General Korniloff will go
to the front.
