URGES DEVELOPMENT
 OF HERRING INDUSTRY

David C. Reed of IS Broadway, New York, who is d ship broker and chartering agent, and also ln- terested in the fish business, few weeks ago addressed a letter to Doctor Smith, Commissioner of Fisheries at Washington, in which he called attention to the great demand for kippered herring. Oae paragraph from MT. Reeds letter is as follows:
 When 1 was on the Pacific coast this spring 1 found in Van- couver kippered herring quite equal to anything we had in Scot. land or England, and l do not see why you do not get these from Tacoma, Seattle, and along our Pacific coast ports, packed in the same boxes and put up in the same way as they are doing at Van couver. They are the cheapest and among the best of breakfast foods, and I think this idea is well worth your looking iuto."

SHARK SKINS ARE WANTED
 BY DEALERS

E. P. Walker, Inspector of Fisheries, with headquarters at Wrangell, states that a market for shark skins is open for enterpri- sing Alaska fishermen.
 The Bureau of Fisheries has been endeavorine to develop a market for this product which can be had in large quantities in the waters of the North, and several concerns now have made known to the Bureau that they are desirous of obtaining quantities of the skins without delay.
 One company which is in the market, claims to offer as high as twenty cents per pound delivered in New York for shark skini Another firm will pay seventeen cents F. 0. B., Seattle.
 It 5 plainly stated that the Bu- reau will assume no responsibility for the financial standing or busi- ness dealings of the parties making the offers.
 Inspector Walker says that in terested persons should cOmmuni- cate with him at Wrangell.
 It is supposed that the fish skins will be treated in a way that will make them suitable for the com mon uses of leather.

Ponies and Horses,

I have been asked great many times if ponies are really more in !clligcnt than full sized horses. They certainly appear to be. But the intelligence of any horse will develop under betting and humaH companion=hip, and there is no doubt that cshcr horses, if given tho same privileges that ponies enjoy and if their size admitted of their being handled and managed in thc same way, would prove equally in- telligent.-Outing.

Bees also find uses for india rubber, and some species in South America actually cut the bark of trees that produce resinous sub stances in order to cause flow of the sap. The gum is employed by the bees as ready made wax for their nests.

THE MEN IN THE TRENCHES
 AND ETERNAL LIFE

St. Philips Church, Sunday evening, November II.
 Nothing clogs the mind and blinds the eye more than selfish ness. The man exclaiming, l should worry; l am doing as l please' naturally cannot under stand, hut let such a man be sud- denly obsessed by great idea of self sacrifice and he begins to see. This explains why, as British officer states, men in the trenches believe in eternal life. The theme will take up the subject, What makes eternal life possible, and what may destroy all hopes of eternal life?' All are invited.

any of these military considerations,
hut 1t is insisted that they must be
taken into account by the foreign Of
fices of the entente powers when they
pass upon the pope's appeal.
VIII Consult Entente.
In addition to consulting with
President Wilson, Secretary Lansing
will begin to ascertain the views of
entente governments regarding the
pope's message. Although no party
to formal alliance, the United States,
having joined fortunes with the en-
tente allies in the supreme struggle
for democratic ideals, the necessity
and propriety of consulting with them
as to any measures looking to peace
is obvious.
1t is probable that before the for
NAL replies are made, statesmen i'm
the various entente countries will in
a way test out public sentiment by in
dividual statements. 1t is believed in
Washington that this was one of the
purposes of Lloyd Georges speech in
parliament.

tirely to testimony relating to the To-
eating of the West Texas Agricultural

en-, a long distance telephone operator

a poor line when Fuller g. clared he
had voted for Abilene on the second
ballot
w. f. Thomson, secretary of the
West Texas A and NJ. college locating
board, testified positively that three
votes Were cast for Abilene on the sec
ond ballot,

Complete Reorganization of All
American Army Units Made to
| Conform to European System

vice has not been changed As a re-
suit of reducing the number of regi-
ments in a division, the division in
stead of $4,000 men will total here
after about 1900 men, $4,000 of
them infantry.
Matter Of Numbers.
Today's orders show that provision
has been made for organization of
thirty-two new infantry divisions, in
addition to the regular divisions out
of troops already called to the colors,
including the first increment of 6S7.-
600 drafted men. A system of numer-
ical designations has been worked out
under which any division numbered
below 26 will be regulars; between 26
and rs nationa. guard and rs and
above national army. Regular infant
ry brigades will be numbered from
one to fifty inclusive; national guard
from 81 to $50 and national army
from Isl up. Regular regiments will
be numbered from | to 100 national
army from 301 up.
Assignment of brigade, regimental.
or other numerical designation will
be in accordance with the numerical
order of divisions, with the result that
any person familiar wit hthe system
will know that the 335th infantry, for
instance is attached to the 167th bri-
gade of the Saith infantry division and
that 1t is composed of national army
troops, while the 300th infantry regi-
ment would be in the 150th brigade
and the 18th division, composed of
national guard troops The depart
ment approved today collar insignia
to designate the three elements of the
army. Regulars will wear the standard
U. S. monogram National guardsmen
will wear a similar monogram with
the initials N. G. superimposed. ana
national army men will have the ini-
tials n. A. superimposed on the U. s.

HEAVY BATTLE IS
CONTINUING ON
FLANDERS FRONT
Allies Are Moving Forward
Steadily and Germans Are
Losing Positions, Despite
Desperate Resistance,
rev MORNING ,ov.sA. s,.e,.. ....so w,s.,

British Front in France and Bel
GUM, Aug. 16.-At 4 O'Clock this after
noon the battle in Flanders, which
ish at dawn today, had already re-
suited in large gain of ground.
From Dreigrachten which the
French occupied with little resistance,
southwark, the French pushed their
positions forward to the edge of the
flooded area along the left bank Of
the st. Jansbeek river and on the
right bank they surged across the
Steenbeke, which is continuation
of the st. Jansbeek and occupied Ger
man positions to an extreme depth OF
about 1000 yards.
At the same time the British ad-
vanced on the right of the French and
occupied considerable territory in the
region of st. Julien and Langemarck.
Langemarck village itself apparently
is firmly in the hands of the allies.
Further south the British had push
ed forward at various points as far
down the salient as the country west
of the Polygon wood. In all this re-
gion heavy fighting was in progress,
especially in the vicinity of the Poly
gon wood and the neighboring forests.
At this time it is impossible to give
more than a general idea of the events
that are transpiring, since the signal
was given a few hours ago for an ad-
vance. There is little doubt, how
ever. that the German troops engaged
have been dealt a heavy blow and
that the British have made appreci-
able advances at many points in this
difficult territory
The preliminary bombardment by
the British artillery worked havoc in
the German ranks, according to pris-
oners. All night the heavy guns
pounded steady stream of shells in
to the small forts and the fortified
farms in which the Germans had
esta blished machine gun squads, and
many of their defenses were wiped
out or made untenable.
About Langemarck, where heavy
fighting occurred, the Seventeenth re-
serve division of the Prussians suffer-
ed severely from the bombardment.
The barrage which the British ar
tiliery dropped before the infantry
for the advance was perfect through
out. The German guns pounded away
sullenly but their fire was not effec-
tive and the British troops suffered
little as they pushed forward.

PREMIER OPTIMISTIC:
ENGLAND is SAFE

London, Aug. ia message of
hope and quiet confidence in the fu-
ture was given to the British nation
today in the house of commons by
Premier Lloyd George. The people
OF the British Isles cannot be starved,
Notwithstanding the German cam
paign, and the military situation
grows more hopeful. The differences
of the allies will grow less and their
power increase, while the troubles of
Germany will increase and her power
fall away.
This is the supreme hour for pa
tience," the premier declared in con-
clusion, "for courage, for endurance.
for hope, for unity. Let us go through
this hour with a temper that will en-
able us to destroy a great mill
tary despotism. Let us go through
this hour with the old temper of our
race so that next year we shall begin,
and the world shall begin, to reap the
fruits of our valor."
The stock of wheat in Great Britain
had increased by one-third within n
year and this years harvest promises
we'll, but economy still Is necessary.
German claims as to British ship
losses, the premier said, were exag
gerated in the hope of cheering up
the people of the central powers. AL
though the submarine losses in April
had been 100000 tons they had de-
creased until the average for July and
August would be 175,000 tons each.
Ship building had been speeded up.
vessels had been purchased abroad
and the total tonnage acquired in 1917
would reach nearly 100000 tons.
The premier said he believed the
losses would grow smaller and that
the admiralty had met with success in
combating the submarine menace.
while measures taken by the shipping
controller had permitted vessels to
carry increased t8nnage.

WAR
MACHINE HITS HARD

Again the great Anglo French wal
machine has struck the Germans in
Flanders and again it has been sue
cessful. The village of Langemarck
and other important positions were
taken Thursday and more than 1890
prisoners were counted.
The latest blow in the Ypres area
was on front of nine miles and only
on the extreme right We're the allied
forces unable to make progress. The
Germans resisted stubbornly, suffer-
part of the front they were forced 10
leave valuable positions in the pos
session of the allies.
Before the fighting between Lens
and l.oos had died out the French
and British moved forward north of
the Ypres- -Menin road. Throughout
Thursday bitter fighting continued
ground between the User canal and
Martjevaart and then drove the Ger
mans from the important bridgehead
of Dreiarachten.
Field Marshal Haig's men carried
the center and right of the attacking
line. In the center the British early
gained their first detectives and then
established themselves in Lange-
marck. Continuing their attack they
advanced a half mile beyond the viii
lage, gaining a trench system which
was the final objective of the day.
On the right flank the German re-
sistance was more desperate. Early
in the day the British drove the Teu-
tons back, but numerous counter-at-
tacks, in which they suffered severely,
enabled the Germans to regain the
lost ground.
In the Lens sector the Canadians
made further progress east. of Loos
and north of Lens. German prison
ers to the number of nearly 800 were
taken in the fighting here Wednesday

Chief Executive Of State Ap-
peaIs to Parents Not to
Make Mistake Now Realized
in England and France,
TRAINED MEN ARE
BEING KILLED OFF
Must Depend Upon Technical
Schools and University to
Supply Efficiency for Fu-
ture, Is Proclamation.

Santa Fe, Aug. lG.--Gov. w. e.
Lindsey this afternoon issued the fol-
lowing proclamation urging parents to
make sacrifices when necessary to
send their children to school and col.
lege during the coming school term
The proclamation says:
The universal system of free pub.
lie schools in the United States has
long been the pride and boast of our
people. Our technical colleges and
universities, although of comparative
ly recent foundation, are justly rated
foremost in the world for educational
facilities and endowment. The re-
suits of the attendance of our children
and youth upon these institutions are
how to be put to the supreme test.
The efficiency of our administration
of the government, the effectiveness
of our armies in the war, give ground
for the sanguine hope that victory
shall alight upon the standard of de-
mocracy, there to remain so long as
time shall last
1.-The government at Washington
doubtless chose the wiser course in
limiting the selective draft to include
none under the age of 21 years. II
our better educated soldiery is to be
an appreciable factor in winning the
war as is confidently predicted, the
universal education of our youth un-
der the age of the selectve draft must
not be abated or slackened. The in
IL L.. ~
tain TO remove many of the technical
Rly efficient. To keep our armies eff
fective, the places of those who sue
cumb must be filled by those equally
technically trained. ~such supply can
be had only from among the students
and graduates of our technical col
leges and universities. In this, we
must profit from the fateful expert
ence of our allies, who, after three
years of destructive warfare, are suf-
fering from a shortage of technically
trained soldiers. Our common schools,
our technical schools and our univer-
sites are now about to open their
doors for the reception of pupils and
students for another scholastic year.
Now, therefore, 1, w. E. Lindsey,
governor of the sta... II New Mexico,
do hereby call upon the parents and
the guardians of the youth of our
state to exert every reasonable effort
to call all the children and youth of
scholastic age to continue their edu-
cation and usual course.
In making this recommendation l
have considered the added sacrifices
that will be thereby imposed upon
many of our citizens, the denial of
comparatively attractive rates of
compensation for the services OF
young men and young women of col
legiate age, the temptations to the
more mature of thk young to enter
upon business career under seeming
exceptionally favorable circumstances,
but the experience of England, of
France, and of Canada Enthusiastically
dictate the wiser course to continue
to educate the youth of our state gen.
orally and technically for a better as
surance of the successful prosecution
of the war"
