WANT so MORE.
To Fill Ranks of National Guard in Ad.
dition to Reservists.

Burlington, July 2s.-Sixty -one of the
reservists in the Vermont National
Guard have reported for duty at Fort
Ethan Allen and it is not expected that
there will be any more to report. This
is already more than was expected. The
guard is at war strength now, including
the reservists, but orders have been re-
ceived from Washington to the effect
that the recruiting shall go on regardless
of the reservists until the regiment is at
war strength. There are therefore about
60 more recruits wanted. The reservists
will be attached as extra men to the reg
iment. This is a good opportunity for a
man to get in at the last minute and
there will doubtless be-many who will
take advantage of the chance.

The Hague. Netherlands, July 2s.--
Correspondence Interesting comparisons
of British, French and German methods
of air-fghting were made recently by
General Won Hoeppner, commander OF
the German flying force in an inter.
view with the Berlin correspondent of
the Holland News bureau. General Won
Hoeppner admitted that the air forces
of the entente allies were superior on
the western front and in the Balkans,
but said that on the eastern front the
German airmen outnumbered their ad .
versaries. Mere superiority in numbers,
however, he professed to believe, meant
nothing when compared with the quail
ty of machines and of the men flying
them. He added;
THE Frenchman is obviously not to
be placed on a par with our airmen from
the point of view of morale, but il is
just in flying the Briton proves that he
| is of German race and therefore has
love of fighting. In general the French
man only attacks when he feels himself
numerically superior. He avoids fight
under equal conditions. The Briton
seeks the combat. The Frenchman only
attacks once; il the first attack be un-
successful, he Immediately retires. The
Englishman, on the other hand, fights
till he or his opponent goes under.
I'm their Spad aeroplane of 200-horse
power, and the British Sopwith triplanes,
they possess splendid machines which
mostly equal our best machines.
More important, however, than the
superiority of the machines is that of
the crews. The enemy battle airmen are
just as much up to their jobe as ours.
That is not so, however, with the recon
noitring airmen. In the case of the
French, their training, which should be
of a purely military character, is me-
diocre; while with the British it is even
inferior Here are to be found the deep
er causes of the better performances of
our fliers.
biIticHtis s.NHig II d SPORT the
climax whereof is fight. They seek
the combat regardless of the question
the carrying out of the charge
to them renders this necessary
Or not. The German is first of all sol
iier, who looks upon every flight as a
military operation, and that decides his
inc of conduct. Our proportionately
smaller losses, therefore, show that our
are too good soldiers to set
heir airmen impossible tasks. More
,ver, the airmen are not sent out sin
,ly, for the fulfillment Of military tasks
S more important than all spirit of
port and all bravery, The century old
ierman military tradition cannot be

A final inquiry as to who the Germans
refer TO meet as enemies elected the J
esponse: That is a question which I
nay not be put; 1t is not the sporting /
chievement, but the fulfillment of the !

VAR SITUATION At
END OF THIRD YEAR
Fortunes Favor the Entente Except for
Uncertainty as to the Outcome of
the Movement in Russia.

The third year of the world war close
with the fortunes of conflict favoring tn,
entente except for uncertainty as to tn,
outcome of the Russian situation.
The central powers sustained momen
tous setbacks, both military and politi
cal, during the IL months.
On the western front in Europe the
Teutons find themselves on the defensive
at the advent of the fourth year. They
fight on lines newly established after
forced retirement from terrain which
they had won in earlier days at a tre-
mendous sacrifice.
Meanwhile new enemy powers, notably
the United States, have been drawn in
by the central empires and progress to-
ward the achievement of the ultimate
aim of the entente and its allies has
been furthered by political disturbance
which will remain memorable in the his
tory of all times.
Chief among these are the fall of two
crowned heads-Nicholas of Russia and
Constantine of Greece. In Russia autoc-
racy has given way to a republic. In
Greece kingdom remains but not pro-
Teutonic one, entente pressure having
won supremacy in this part of the Bal
kans.
Political events within the German and
Austria empires, featured by the fall of
Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg, have
led to open discussions tf peace in the
German Reichstag as the fourth year
dawns.
In Great Britain, the third year closed
with Winston Spencer Churchill, former
first lord of the admiralty, returned to
the cabinet with the portfolio of minis
ter of munitions.
Portugal and Rumania threw in their
fortunes with the entente shortly after
the third year began. The United
States entered in April, followed by
Cuba and Liberia. Panama pledged the
United States her aid in defending the
Panama canal. Costa Rica put her ma
val bases at our disposal. China, Boil /
via, Guatemala and Brazil severed diplo-
matte relations with Germany. Uru-
quay expressed her sympathy for the
United States.

of the contingent which the public saw.

POULTRY SHOULD BE CHEAP.
Surplus of Nutritious Food Available if
Retailers Take Small Profits.

A present congestion in the frozen
poultry market, shown by figures of tbs
United States department of agriculture
can be relieved if the retail dealers vii
handle the goods at a reasonable ad
vance over wholesale prices. This action
would make poultry available at prices
comparing favorably with other meats
according to the findings of conference
recently held between wholesale poultry
distributors and officials of the depart.
ment of agriculture. Both parties to
! the conference say that more poultry
| should be eaten when the facts are un.
creased use of poultry now, in the opin-
ion of the department, will tend to con-
serve other meats which are of more i'm
portance to Americans and their allies in
Europe. The retailers, as well as whole
salers, it is pointed out, should aid in re-
lieving the congestion.
Broilers Plentiful and Less Expensive
Broiling chickens are especially abun-
dant and those of prime quality sold in
June on the wholesale market in New
York at an average price of 22 cents a
pound year before the average price
was 27 cents during the same month.
There are unusually heavy holdings of
dressed poultry in cold storage. Unless
these stocks are moved quickly, farmers
who have increased this years hocks in
response to a patriotic appeal will not
have normal marketing conditions when
their surplus comes on the market.
Retailers Must Help.
The parties to the conference agreed
that the storage supplies of poultry in
the summer of 1916 were unusually low
because of small original holdings and
large export demands. This resulted in
unusually high prices TO producers dur.
ing the fall and winter Of 1916. The |
supply was Unexpectedly heavy and
large stocks were stored at high costs. |
Then export demands fell off, the wave
Of economy affected the home demand. |
and the storage stocks moved slowly. /
The net result according TO the depart
ment, is that almost everybody ought to
enjoy chicken dinners now at decidedly
reduced prices and without feeling that
they are using up needed meat supplies
In short, il is said to depend on the re-
Iailers whether cheaper chickens win Be
available.

Appointment

Mrs. F. A. Roy has been APP
pointed by District Judge Leahy
as a member Of the County
School Board which has super
vision over the Rural Schools of
Mora County. There are four
members of this board which
meets with the County Superin-
tendent once a month. They
have no jurisdiction over Schools
in Incorporated towns and villa
ges but control all matters per-
tanning to the country schools.
This is a new plan in this state
and has many good features that
apply especially to conditions in
New Mexico. We congratulate
the Schools in the selection of
Mrs. Roy for this responsible pos
ition.

Mountain Lion

A Mountain Lion of unusual
size and ferocity was killed out
on the Prairie between Roy and
Solano Sunday after it had made
several attempts to kill stock. 1t
was discovered early Sunday
morning by Ed Reeds boys who
went out in the pasture with a
shot gun thinking Coyotes were
chasing their cattle. The lion
went to the home of Antonio
Mescarenas and attacked a horse
Mr.. Mascarenas shot him in the
foot with a pistol and the lion
went out on the prairie and lay
down. Ed Reed then went out
with a big rifle and his last cart
ridge and approached the animal
within so yards and shot him in
the breast.
The lion measured 7 feet 6 in.
from tip to tip and weighed 1870
pounds. Mr.. Reed brought him
to Roy Monday morning where
many people saw him. 1t is one
of the largest lions ever killed in
this vicinity and would have been
a bad one to meetin the open and
unarmed.
Henry Farr saw the animal
crossing his wheat field but tho't
it a Lobo Wolf. A pack of coy
otes was following him to feast
of the carcasses of animals he
killed.

fat pricetof $40. an acre, It is
understood that this will be divi-
ded Immediately among the mem

tracts from 40 to 320 acres each.
| A school section near Clayton
brought $16.50; a quarter section
sold at $19. 55 and 140-acre tract
sold at $40, the $5 minimum value
was rear in the sales and $40. an
acre was a common occurrance
as the auction price, the sales for
the day averaging $S.65 an acre.
There were more than 500 bid
ders from other counties of New
Mexico and other states, bidders
coming all the way from New
York to Oregon. Testimonial for
the land sold its averaging in the
fact that the majority of voters
were residents of Union and near
by counties, who are thoroughly
familiar with the land and, who
as a rule, bid above the visitors.
Texas, Colorado, Oregon, Monta-
ma, Kansas and Nebraska all
were represented in the Hoggatt
group, who got the $4,000 acre
tract. An interesting feature Of
the sale was an appeal by the auc-
tioneer, Capt. Fred Muller, in be
half of the State that as much of
the acreage sold as possible be
planted this year to assist in
meeting the food crisis.
