BIG FORCE THAT HAS BEEN
WORKING IN NORTHERN
STATES WILL DESIGNATE NEW
MEXICO LANDS FOR HOME
STEAD ENTRY DURING WINTER

Silver City, N. NJ, Nov. 5.-News
that will be Of intense interest to thou
sands OF homesteaders throughout
New Mexico has just been received by
Congressman w. B. Walton from n. v.
Rizer, acting director OF the United
States geological survey.
MIR. Rizer advises Congressman Wal
ton regarding the progress that has
been made in the examination Of lands
for classification under the stock-rais-
ing homestead law, which act was
passed December 20, 1916, and is best
known as the 64O-acre homestead law.
Because the sundry civil bill did not
pass until the special session, funds
for the examination of the lands under
this act did not become available un-
til late in June Of this year. Even be-
fore the appropriation became avail
able, however, plans had been made to
obtain through the civil service COM
mission the additional employees re-
quired for the work. The large vol
m of war business imposed on the
civil service commission made 1t i'm
practicable to obtain eligible candi-
dates with sufficient rapidly for the
needs Of this work by the usual exam
nation, so the commission announced
a non-assembled examination for the
positions of junior land classifier, as
sistant land classifier and land CLASH
fer in the geological survey.
AS a result, approximately ninety
well-qualified men are now under or
ders and have been divided into field
parties. They are at work In North
Dakota, South Kakota, Montana, Wyo-
ming, Idaho, Oregon and Colorado. 1t
is proposed to keep these parties, 70
in number, in the areas to which they
are now assigned as long as weather
conditions will permit them to carry
on their work.
Thereafter it is expected to transfer
the entire field force to New Mexico,
Arizona and southern Utah and also
southern California for work during
the winter months, when it is hoped
to examine the greater part OF public
lands in these states that are includ-
ed in the pending applications Of home
eteaders who have filed under the GAO
acre act.

E. p. Webb
May Return to
Active Service

Major Edwin P. Webb, assistant ad
jutant general, is in touch with the wal
department at Washington regarding
a commission which win permit him
of being of service to the United
States in the present war, in an &C
tive capacity.
Major Webb has been assured thai
when there is a place for him he will
be called upon.
War activity seems to have held a
charm in the Webb family from the
time OF his grandfather to the pres
ent. His grandfather was in the Rev
dictionary war and his father in the
Civil war. Major Webb saw service
in Indian uprsings and the Spanish
American war in his 80 years Of regu.
lar army service. He now has a
nephew in one of the eastern national
cantonments, having been graduated
from the reserve officers camp at
Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, with the first
class, and he has a brother at pres.
ent a student officer at the same
camp.
Friends Of Major Webb in military
circles have suggested that he apply
for a commission in the aviation de-
iHRtment.

Low WATER IN TAGLfAMENTo
MADE DEFENSE DIFFICULT

Rome, Nov. 1.-THE Italians have
withdrawn in good order from the
Tagliamento river toward the Liyen

announcement follows:
AS the low water in the Taglia
mento rendered difficult defense Of
the river, we have Withdrawn ouI

ment was accomplished in good or
der. under the protection of north
ward covering units and of rear
guards toward the south.
Yesterday and last night our aero.
planes and airships repeatedly bomb
ed enemy troops at work in repairing
bridges over the Tagliamento or in
movement across the river. Four hos
tile machines were brought down by
our a~viators.
The retreat caused a military
crisis which gradually is being solved
by the assembling troops on a previ-
ously established line and by the
rushing up of Anglo French forces.
While this is being done fighting is
going on all the time to delay the
advance of the Austro.G Germans who
desire to take advantage of the stu
alton.
The Italian army faithful to the
orders Of its leaders, is fighting with
a high morale and a firm spirit.

FRENCH TROOPS HuRRYING
TO AID or ITALIANS

Washington, Nov. 7.-General Ca
dorna could not have organized his
~retreating forces for successful de-
Tense along the line of the Taglia-
mento. is the opinion of French mill
tary experts. They contend the line
was entirely too near the point where
the AustroGerman troops had broken
through the Italian front. The expert
ence Of the French at the Marine is
held to have proved that there is an
advantage in not stopping a retreat
too soon, IL a commander wishes to
strike a decisive blow. The real, sue
cessful Italian defensive, in the opin-
ion OF the French experts, will be
based upon the historical quadrillat-
eral Mantua, Verona, Peschera n
Lugano, and the real battle of the
campaign will occur when the italian
armies, supported by the French and
British troops will definitely bar the
German invaders on those lines.
The French general staff made al
most instantaneous response to the
Italian appeal for help, Once the de-
cision was reached to cooperate with
the Italian army French troop trains
began rolling towards the Alps.
There was no improvisation; the
plans were the result of careful study
and preparation the general staff had
conceived beforehand.

OF 4. N. cEAIaAL

District Judge Reed Holloman has
declined to consider the appointment
of a new receiver for the New Mex,
fico Central railway.
Francis G. Wilson, attorney for the
Pittsburgh Trust company, and repre-.
senting also the Federal Export cor
poration which bought $4,000 worth
Iof the bonds of the railway, had sug-
gested the appointment OF Mr. Rich

that II this appointment is made the

fered to expend 100000 in improve
Ements and betterment Of the road. 1t
was stipulated that $4,000 to $25, 900
be spent on a motor car and for GER
tain machinery.
Judge Holloman, in his reply, wrote
Mr., Wilson that he decided to con-
tinue the present receivership and
added:
1T Is my belief that 1t is absolutely
necessary that this road be rehabili.
'tated." He said, also, that before he
would approve a sale Of the road it
would have to be made to a New Mex

pose of operating this road or a rail-
