A STATE HIGHWAY
HIGHWAY COMMISSION TO ISSUE
WEEKLY BULLETIN; WHAT'S
DOING IN ROAD BUILDING.

The Glorieta-Panchuelo road from
Pecos town to the Panchuela Ranger

highway and is to be known as Road
No. SO of the state highway system.
This action was taken at a recent
meeting of the state highway com.
ission with county commissioners

The commission has decided to

aid on the Carlsbad-M Monument road,
State Road Is, in Eddy and Lea

Union county, federal and state aid
were approved south from Clayton
toward Nara Visa. This is to be
made what is known as a red line
road. Reconnaissance also was or.
dered on Road 81 for a federal aid

HOOVER REFUTES
.SPRECKELS CHARGE
EUROPE DEMAND
TAKES THE SUGAR

Washington, Dec. z6.-Food Adj
ministrator Hoover's statement on
the sugar situation, which he tried
unspccessfully to get before the SEN
ate committee investigating the sugar
shortage, was made public from the
white house. 1t attributed the short
age here to the heavy movement OF
sugar from the western hemisphere
to Europe, and asserts that without
the fixing of prices by agreement
sugar would have been selling for
rs or 80 cents a pound and more
than 5000, 000, 900 would have been
~profiteered from the American public
by this time.
At the outset the statement pre-
sents the world sugar situation as it
existed prior to the European war.
The allies then produced much Of
their own supplies and purchased the
remainder from Germany. Before the
war they took only 100000 tons IN.
nually from the western hemisphere.
This year they have taken 1,400, 900
tons.
"That," says the food administra,
tor, lis the aus of the sugar short
age, and nothing else"
Since the food administration was
created in August the United States
has exported to the allies 110,356
tons of refined sugar and in the same
period has shipped to Europe 246,133
tons of raw product. This, it is de-
clared, is just the amount Of the
shortage in the United States.
Even with these shipments, it is
pointed out, the supply in England
and France has been inadequate.
Consumption in England has been re-
duced to "a pounds a year for each
person, and in France to IA pounds,
against a consumption in America OF
IS pounds.
The shortage, the food administra-
tor declares, will continue during
next year, as it is the duty of the
United States to continue to feed the
allies.

L|GHTLESS NIGHTS TO
Be ENFORCED STRICTLY

Major Fred Muller, chairman of the
Santa Fe county fuel board, stated
today that a rigid enforcement of
the law requiring Sunday and Thurs
day nights to be "lightless' in as far
as safety permits, will be made: He
said that a number of merchants and
business men seem to forget the
rules to turn out adj lights in their
stores and shut off the lights in the
signs in front Of the stores, on two
nights a week. The law permits a
merchant to keep one light burning
in his store for safety.
The necessity for conserving the
supply of coal in this country. has
caused Ex-Governor Mcdonald, state
fuel administrator, to emphasize the
importance of business men reducing
the consumption of electricity.

Germans, Nation of
House Servants, Become
One of Army Worms

i against CONSUMPTION. We have given
u government the powers of a mill
tary dictator to saw ourselves from
the military dictatorship of the Most
High of Potsdam. We have surren'
dered all u peaceful liberties in or
der to organize our country for pur-
poses of war, because war can be eff
GENTLY waged in no other way. Only
with blood and iron can we save our
selves from the devotees of blood and
iron. When death comes into a dis
pute there is no answer to it but
death.
Now that the German war lord sees
the sword at his throat, he is willing
to use another argument. He offers
to talk Of peace" without punish
ment." He is willing to forget our
dead, to forgive our wounds, to v
look u injuries, to bow us out of his
fortress and repair his defenses, and
fit a ley blade to his old hilt. His
agents assure us that our allies are
not our friends; that this war is not
our war; that we should never have
thrust ourselves into it so unexpected.
They observe with sorrow that we
have renounced on the battle field, and
under fire our inalienable right to
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi-
ness. They express a pious fear that
in volunteering for a war to make the
world safe for democracy we may
have surrendered ourselves to a mill
tary autocracy no better than their
own. Like the wolf brought to bay by
the sheep dogs, they are afraid that
we may forget our interest in our
flocks If we stay away from them too
long. "Ah," says the wolf, "let us
nc longer be ferocious. Why should
we kill one another? 1t is too stupid.
Let us arrange sensibly the terms on
which you may pasture your flocks,
side by side. without quarreling. There
is for us all in this beautiful
world. I will not detain you any
longer. Let us all go away from here.
Yes?"
When the wolf becomes pitiful, the
wise dog grows deaf. We are new to
this hunt. We have been without a
wolf so long on our continent that we
he cannot repent and become a
good collie. Let him go back to his
den as meekly as you please, he will |
be out again, hungry, as soon as his
wounds are healed. The sheep dogs
must make the world safe for the
sheep dog. 1t will never be safe till
this last wolfish military autocracy
has died in its lair.

"The Germans" their beloved Bis.

His successors seem to have made

All their fine qualities of loyalty

up so contemptuously-have been
turned from ideals of domestic peace
and labor to the ~ravaging of their
neighbors in a devastating war. A

FORMATIONS, a gray-green swarm of de-

And the world has banded against
them. One by one a score of States
have been forced to arm and defend
themselves. Not ever the peaceful
traditions of China or the determined
isolation of the United States could
save them from the %unprovoked as
%saults of this submissive people led
by ambitious maniacs. The war has
become a war to rid Germany and the
world of Germany's Mad Mullah. And
just as there could be no peace a hun
bred years ago in Europe, and no free
dom in France until Napoleon had been
Gagged, so now there can be nc security
for any nation and no liberty for the
Germans until their Hohenzollern has
been crushed and his loyal victims

Again and again the nations made
terms of peace with Napoleon. 1t was
useless until he made his final terms
of unconditional surrender after
Waterloo. The French of his day
were an admirable, a wonderful peo-

they became the %conquering enemies
of mankind. 1t was his wars that i'm
posed militarism on Germany. 1t is
his tradition that now animates the
Prussian imperial buzzard. Useless
to talk of terms of peace with this
new Napoleonism. Useless to plead
the virtues of the German people.
They have become the outlaws of
