FOR NEW MEMBERS
FOR RED CROSS

Ten million new members are need.
ed Tor the American Red Cross. The
drive for the new members is or
now in full blast, and a most en-.
couraging response is being giver
to the workers. The membership
fee is SO small that any little boy
or any little girl can save enough
to become a member, and thereby
help to take care of a sailor or sol.
der or marine who has been wound.
ed. Governor w. Z. Lindsey is hope
full that the state of New Mexico
will move up into the front rank
in this. just as it has done in all
OF the branches of war work. His
appeal to the people is as follows

ico:-
"A Christmas gift is being solicit
ed for the cause of humanity and
civilization in the form of an in
creased membership in the Ameri-
can Red Cross.
For the Nation, this gift is ex-
pected to amount to an addition of
ten million names of American citi-
to the present membership en-
rollment. The citizenship of the
State of New Mexico has just ground
for the indulgence of a feeling Of
pride in the. record it has made in
respect to every call of the war,
since, in each instance, her prorata
has been promptly over-furnished.
Within Reach Of All
Membership in the American Red
Cross is within easy reach of each
of New Mexico. By paying
the small membership fee at the
Christmas time, we, who are
denied the privilege of enlistment
and service in the battle lines, have
an opportunity to contribute in some
part to the winning of the war for
Justice and proving our worthiness
as citizens of the American repub-
ic.
Let All Come In

threatening to destroy civilization,
literally swamped the recruiting Of.
fees on last Friday and Saturday.
There was no possible chance for
the recruiting officers to list all the
applicants and get their examina.
tons under way. The Secretary of
War, desiring that recognition be
given to. all those so eager to serve
their country, ruled that all those
who had made application before
the closing time on Saturday, should
be permitted later to file application
and take the examination.
Official figures have not yet been
given out to show the total enlisted,
but up t o December IL, the total

EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS
From New Mexico War News
SILENCE pIcKETERS

Throw over the picketers at the
White House a blanket of silence or
obscurity and their disloyal and dis
graceful antics will end abruptly.
This is the recommendation made by
'Iife," and The War News think it
is an excellent one. Read the IN
mendation or page a of this issue.
A short time ago a representative
of these misguided creatures visited
Santa Fee. In the course Of a speech
which she made at the court house,
she referred to the work of knitting
for the sailors and soldiers. With
apparent scorn and vehemence she
declared that she had no time to
knit; that she would devote all her
time and energies 70 the work of
securing suffrage for women. The
only reasonable inference was that
she was not at all interested in the
matter of whether or not our soldiers
and sailors had anything warm to
wear.
Compare this with statement made
in Santa Fe near the same time.
This speaker was an Indian who had
been in service in France. Wounded
several times, he was sent home to
recuperate. With reference to the
.valorous part the Indian has been
playing in this war, he exclairned:
II hope We may 20 conduct our
selves that after the war our Gov.
eminent will be glad to give us the
full rights of citizenship" Note
this: after" the war.
The Indian is willing to earn his
right by gallant conduct against, the
enemy; the selfish and u%ngratsful
woman would wrest her right by
abuse of the Chief Executive, at a
ime when his every minute should
be given to the PREPARATIONS for the
war.
life" generally is right. This
time it is exactly right. By all
means let the axe Of the censor fall
upon these unfortunate women and
bury them in oblivion

PREDATORY AMI
MAILS AND RODENTS
ARE DOOMED NOW

War is declared on the predatory
animals and rodents that have been
costing the state OF New Mexico
50000,000 pounds of meat a year.
Plans for determination were discus
scd yesterday afternoon at a confer
cnce OF Governor W. L. Lindsey and
the executive committee OF the New
Mckee Council Of Defense with 9TH
cr federal and state officials. The
purpose Of the conference was to
determine whether or not any feas-
ible plans might be worked out, and
whether it would be desirable for
the state to take from its wal fund
the sum Of $4,000 to match a similar
sum to be taken from the federal
treasury. Satisfactory plans will be
worked out, and the state will ap-
propriate the money.
Those In Attendance
Attending the conference, in ad-
dition to Governor Lindsey, were
Charles Springer, Benigno c. Her
nandez, {. r. Brice, forming the ex-
|ecutive committee of the Council OF
Defense; DR.. A. D. Grille, president
OF the A. & NJ. College; P. G. Red

FOR DAM

Adequate protection for the
Elephant Butte dam has been Sc
cured by the New Mexico Counci
of Defense. 1t would seem that the
information furnished to the Wa,
Department left that Department
under the impression that a force
to guard the dam was still available
After some correspondence, the fol
lowing letter has been received by
w. M. Danburg, general secretary
from Headquarters of the Southe err
Department, Fort Sam Houston, Tex
as:
The Department Commands
directs me to inform you in re-
ply to your lette~ OF Decemb.r
10, 1917, that Captain P. K. Brice
has been placed in charge Of or
ganizing a guard for the proper
protection of Elephant Butte
Dam.

Crile's suggestion at the conference
yesterday was that the counties
ought 70 be thoroughly organized
through the county councils of
defense, with the cattle and
sheep companies cooperating, SO
that the limited sum available at
this time might be stretched SO as
to accomplish the greatest good. He
thought that the counties ought to
have everything in readiness, SO that
when the technical experts OF the Gov
eminent reach county headquarters,
there ought to be nothing left to do
but to have the grain mixed by the
expert, who would instruct the sew
eral district chairmen or captains as
to the distribution Of the poisoned
grain. The distribution of the poison
ed grain ought to be made by volun-
teer forces organized in the county.
Under this plan, practically all OF
the money available could be spent
for grain and the poison. In ad-
d;tion to the $4,000, Secretary
Houston promised that a substantial
part Of another appropriation of $62.-
600 might be expended by the biolo-
gical survey. through the use of
trained men brought from other dis
tricts. Furthermore, Secretary Hous-
ton promised that if New Mexico
would take the iniative, and get some
.anpible results in the work of ex-
termination, he would include in his
rolt budget a sum sufficient to pro-
secatc the work in all the states
having infested districts.
Within Meaning of Law
~ three members expressed the
he'Nf that the work is of the highest
importance, and coming well within
the province OF the intent of the
legislature in passing the appro-
priation bill. Governor Lindsey said
that he would be willing to authorize
the appropriation OF $4,000 when he
should have before him some clear
and definite plan, and such a plan
IS now in preparation.
Enough To Do Much
Mr.. Ligion said that the bulk OF
the appropriation might be used in
The campaign against rodents, and
that The trained men in his depart
mcnt can go ahead without further
assistance, using the funds which
they now have. Mr.. Musgrave said
that with the volunteer organizations
lak'ng over all the burden of the
labor end, the appropriation of $50
coo would go a long way toward rid
ding the state OF the rodents. It
seemed to be the consensus of OPT

BUY RED CROSS SEALS

ly weakening the strength of her
armies, besides imposing a terrible
burden upon the civilian population,
which must take care, not only of
the soldiers victims but also of
the citizens who are afflicted.
The Red Cross has a department
which is devoted to civilian relief.
Among its principal purposes are the
study, prevention and treatment Of
tuberculosis. A'great deal of its in.
come is derived from the sale of Red
Cross Christmas seals. The cam.
paign for the sale of these seals this
year is the most energetic that has
ever been carried on. The need IL
greater than ever before, and the
people are alive to the situation.
No one connected with the sale of
Red Cross seals receives a nickel
for his or her services. If you buy
so seals from some little girl, or l0,-
600 from some central agency, you
may resi- assured that the commits
sion for both is the same: a sense
Of duty we'll done, which is ample
reward for any real American. Buy
Red Cross seals from the little girls.
1t is an inexpensive way to serve .
good cause and al the same tine
make a little girl happy. Buy all
the seals that you think you can
use. After that, dig into your pocket
for more dimes and buy more seals.
1t is a part of the war work. IF

unchecked, it will become one Of the
most active and powerful Of the
