connected with the occupation. by
American forces of large part of the
allied line on the Western front
president Wilson is said to be
strongly impressed with the feeling
that a man of Goethals's accomplish

overlooked in the face of the great
need for engineering talent and al,

ability to handle a job of this kind.
His Panama Canal experience will have
application to such task"

MINNESOTA IGNORANT
ABOUT NEW MEXICO

The prevailing ignorance as to ac-
tual conditions in New Mexico, par
ticularly along the southern border,
is emphasized in letters to the State
Publicity Bureau from Secretary of
State Antonio Lucero, now in Ro-
chester, Mimi, for his health. The
Secretary has written the Publicity
Bureau that officers and men of the
Minnesota National Guard, who have
been assigned to the new federal
coming winter, were making serious
training camp at Deming for the
objections to the location because of
their erroneous impressions as to the
character of the country.
Their impression was that Deming
was the center of district similar
to Mojave desert" Mr.. Lucero wrote.
"and I have had some difficulty in
convincing them that real people live
there and conduct and enjoy a very
prosperous, growing community"
Mr.. Lucero has used a large guam
tity of the Publicity Bureaus lite
rature in interesting the guardsmen
and others in the facts about New
Mexico, and has accomplished subs
tantia1 results.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION
is NOW ON THE WAY

Washington Aug. 1.-The resolu-
ton to refer prohibition to the states
for an amendment to the constitu-
ton was adopted late today by the
senate. The vote was 6s to TO- eight
more than the necessary two-thirds
As adopted the resolution contains
paragraph that the states must be
asked to ratify the amendment with
in six years. The house still must
act on the resolution, but it is esti-
mated that more than three fourths
of them are favorable and it is like
ly to go through in record time.
Prominent prohibitionists estimate
that thirty-six states will ratify it
within two years, that number being
necessary to make it part of the
constitution.

Dr. C. F. Lukens. of Albuquerque.
was in the city during the week on
his return from Springer where he
went to examine the building FORM
erly used as a Boys reformatory
with view to its use as a Girls re-
formatory, and we understand that
he reports that it can be renovated
and put in good condition for that
purpose at small expense Recently
there has been a very insistant de-
mand from Albuquerque that a girls
reformatory be established as there
have been a number of arrests OF
voung girls on various charges in
that city and it viii be necessary
t. make some provision as the jaiis
are not a fit place for the petty Of

Dear Sir:
The American Railway Associa-
'tion Special Committee on National
Defense now cooperating with the
Government to further the success
full prosecution of the war respect
fully invites your consideration OF
the following suggestions to facili-
tate the efforts of the committee
The present emergency has I'M
posed upon the railroads very un-
usual strain in transporting men,
food. coal, munitions and materials
in augmented quantity This burden
every unit of rolling stock, every dol
lar of capital, very bit of supplies
and coal which the railroads can
command
1t is the opinion of this Commit
tee that all efforts not designed to
help directly in winning the war
should be suspended during the pc
rod of. the war Indeed. this is OBJ
viously the thought of Presient Will
son in his appeal to the country on
April l6. 1917, which included the
following statement:
at is evident to every thinking
man that our industries - must be
made more prolific and more eff
cient than ever and that they must
be more economically managed and
better adapted to the particular re-
quirements of our task than they
have BEEN"
Therefore this Committee earnest.
ly recommends that during the war
the railroads be required by the Pub
lie authorities to make improvements
and carry out projects involving the
of money and labor only
when they are absolutely essential
for war purposes or public safety.
The prevailing high interest rate on
money, the difficulty of raising mo-
ney in competition with the tax free
issues of the Government, the excess
sive cost of supplies and labor, the
delay in obtaining material, the pos
sible blockade of traffic and the di-
version of labor all contribute to
make non-essential construction I'M
desirable during the war.
The Committee considers that the
erection of new stations and eimi-
nation of grade crossings, are among
the non-essential improvements
which should be deferred at this
time. We respectfully suggest that
the basis for consideration of new
projects at this time should be the
increase in the capacity OF the car
-iers for national service.
Furthermore. we urge your co-ope-
ration in eliminating all passenger
service which is merely convenient
and not justified by public neces-
'ity during the present situation.
Faithfully yours.
