Girl RefOrmatOry

DR.. Chas. F. Lukens, Superin-
tendent of the Childrens home
Society at Albuquerque, was in
the city Wednesday, coming up
in the morning and returning to
his Albuquerque home on No, 8
that afternoon. DR.. Lukens is
interested in the creation of a
girls reform school in Spring
er, using the present reform
school building which will
soon be vacant, The creation
of the reform school here a few
years ago was intended for both
boys and girls but the accom-
modations have always been too
inadequat to take care of girls,
but this can be done as soon as
the old building is VACATED and
the new one occupied. DR.. Lu-
kens says an institution for girls
in this state is necessary, and he
is about as well posted as anyone
in New Mexico on the subject.

New Mexico Booster

There is considerable COM
plant being made against COVER
nor Lindsey's alleged partiality
in his recommendations of repub
lican exemption boards over dem
ocratic, counties, If these ex-
emption boards decisions are
viewed in the same light as the
governors appointments, one
might imagine some big stout
burly influential republican walk
ing up home on a fimsy excuse
while some weakly democratic
son would be told to hike it for
France under a republican cap
tain. We do not say this will oc
cur, but should it occur = what
we'll it's a safe guess to say that
what has been said about these
appointments will look like a
breeze in a cyclone, Lindsey is
responsible for these appoint
ments and their decisions, if just
he intended so : if unjust the
same. Tatum Plains Democrat

State University

Young people in this vicinity,
and their parents will find in this
issue a statement by the New
Mexico State University which
is worth their careful and
thoughtful reading, 1t has to do
with the opportunities waiting
for the young people Of New
Mexico who are prepared with
education and thorough training
to do their share in the work of
rebuilding the world which will
follow the war, The boys and
girls of New Mexico are FORUM
ate in the educational equipment
which has been provided for
them by the state. Only re-
comfy the State University has
added twelve week to its annual
working time, meaning that in
future the University WILDE in
full operation all year and will be
ready to receive students when
ever they find it possible to en-
ter. AS the University's state
ment says, any young person Of
average ability may secure an
education if he has the will to do
so. In the great era of oppor-
tuniy just ahead it is those who
are educated who will go to the
front. It may be difficult for our
boys and girls to appreciate the
necessity for this educational
training, but their parents, who
know better the meaning of op-
portunlty, are able to appreciate
it and they should see to it that
their children are not permitted
to remain unprepared. The state
University is doing its part more
thoroughly than ever before. 1t
is to be in session at all times.
Living at the University has
been brought to such low cost
that any parent who can main
tain HE children at home can
maintain them at the university
There is no longer any excuse in
New Mexico for failure to pro-
vide thorough college education
for every boy and girl. Parents
should keep this fact constantly
before them.

Santa Fe, N, M. July 30;- Sec
retary of State Antonio Lucero,
who is in Rochester, Mimi, for a
short stay for medical treatment
is taking advantage of the occa-
sion to do some very excellent
advertising for New Mexico,
Recently the Secretary wrote to
the State Publicity Bureau for a
supply Of its printed matter, ask
ing particularly for the New Mex
leo Red Book, a compilation of
general information covering all
sections of the State. Mr.. Lu-
cero has distributed these person
ally all the bureau has received
in the state through the Secre-
tary's missionary work, Probab
ly the most important thing ac-
complished by Mr.. Lucero was in
overcoming the opposition of
Minnesota National Guard ofic-
ers to their assignment to the
training camp at Deming. These
officers had the idea that Deming
was the center Of a bowling will
derness until the Secretary ex-
planned the facts to them. They
have now signifed their COM
plete satisfaction with the camp
where they, with other northern
troops, are to spend the coming
winter,

Business Change

One of the biggest business
changes in Roy for the year was
the trade made this week in
which Fred Brown becomes the
owner of 920 acres more land,
the holdings of the Davenport
Bros. north of Roy and Will and
Jess Davenport become the own
ers of the Roy Garage and its
established business together
with the residence adjoining the
Garage. Mr.. Brown gets the
growing crops with the land and
now has over 400 acres of beans
and plans to plant 500 acres of
wheat this fall, This makes him
one of the biggest individual far
mers on the mesa and he has
land that can but mean a fortune
in a few years,
The Davenport Bros. are not
new to the Garage business, as
our readers know. They have
acquired the best equipped gar
ages in this part Of the state and
a paying business with which
they are thoroughly familiar. 1t
was a good trade all round and
we see the chances large for sue
cess for both parties to it.

ADMIRAL LACAzE
 FEARS NO U-B0AT
But Admits Imports to France
 May Be Affected

Paris, Feb 2.-Rear Admiral La- cage, minister of marine, speaking in the senate today, declared that only one-half of one per cent. ot all the tonnage which entered French ports during the last eleven months had been sunk by German submarines He said this percentage might be a little higher in the future but that no efforts of the Germans could prevent the final victory of the Allies.
 He spoke in reply to an interpella- tion by Senator Estournelles de Con- stant in regardtto the responsibility of the government, in the submarine warfare. Senator 'Evournelles criti- cized the administration for allow ing the Germans to take the upper hand in the submarine campaign. In his reply Admiral Lacaze said:
 The Germans are trying to do now what they always have done. The world ought to know that they have endeavored to terrify us since the be- ginning of the war. Disregardtng the humanitarian engagements they. made at The Hague they have not hesitated to throw crews and passen- gers into frail boats and abandon them to the waves in boats far from
 
 their victims, who could not be reached in time, died of hunger. thirst and cold. The declaration of today does not move us.''
 Referring to the question of Sena- tor d. Evournelles, Admiral Lacaze said that he could not repeat informa-' tion given in the secret session but that the government had no means of defense.
 "Fifty-one million tons of merchan- dise,' he said, "entered our ports dur ing the last eleven months" One half of one per cent has been sunk by submarines Possibly in the future this proportion will be g. little higher but the result will be that the country will be more thoroughly ac- quainted that we are at war. This will not affect our will to conquer. The country will support more lightly cer- tain inevitable privations. She will think with more gratitude of our sol- diers who fight for her in the trenches and of our sailors who obscurely often sacrifice their lives for her de- fense and for her provisioning.
 II have been reproached often for not having held up to view sufficiently all that the navy has done for France. would not under any circumstance let it be believed that in this hour. in any post whatever, there is a French man who is not doing his duty.'
 Admiral Lncaze declared that the advantage held by the Germans in the submarine field could not in his opinion be maintained.
 "For the moment" he said, "the Germans triumph and boast of being able, thanks to their submarine to turn the blockade against the Allies.''

standing behind our president, on whom this great responsibility rests" said Hughes. Tt is not a time to embarrass in any degree with private utterances those charged with this responsibility. They have the facts they have the duty to perform. They have the sincere, loyal cooperation of every true American. The exigency of no nation can fix the limits of American rights.
 My friends, in this sober hour we stand loyal sons of Brown, realizing the privileges of our American cit lzensh1p. It is an hour of test that will show what America is made of We are desirous that whatever Is done shall be done cooly and deliberately and in manner that will give to every American a sense of profound satisfaction by reason of the wisdom With which the honor and the rights of our country shall be maintained"
 Other speakers at the dinner were President w. H. P. Faunce of Brown, and Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University.
