LONDON. Jan. 25.--United labor in Great Britain has spoken on the ques tion of peace or continuation of the war and the answer was decisively for war until complete victory is attained.
 The annual conference was held by the labor party at Manchester and was attended by all the leaders of the United Kingdom.
 A resolution was presented which called upon the government to con- sider President Wilson's proposal for peace. After full discussion a vote was taken which resulted overwhelm- inPly in a declaration for continual tion of the war until success crowns the efforts of the allies. The resolu- tion was voted down by a majority of more than three to one. Tremend ouo enthusiasm attended the an- nou?cement of the balloting.

Letters from the Mother
of a Soldier
WHEN YOUR BOY ENLIsTs
by Anna steese Richardson OF the
V~inilantes)

Some day your boy--if he's the right
sort Of boy-will stroll in quite casually
to say he has enlisted.
He will not talk about it beforehand.
He'll go IN eating while mis- elders discuss
the Liberty Loan, Consumption and the
Roosevelt Division. But when something
inde1nable, unanswerable stirs within him.
he will decide without arguing details that
he must go forth to fight for his country.
Then what will you say?
Which reminds me of a friend and her
son.
Having raised FIVE children, she decided
that her life work was done and settled
down to the common indoor amusement Of
middleage-vertigo and nervous prostra-
ton.
One night while trouble was brewing
with Mexico, her youngest son looked up
from his second helping of dessert to re-
mark:
well, Mother, I'm going to the border
with Squadron A. I'll be round to call on
you in my uniform tomorrow"
His mother Immediately passed into hys.
~terics, and while doctor and maid worked
over her, the boy sneaked out of the house,
feeling as II he had committed murder. For
weeks, she lay entirely surrounded by flow
ers and sympathetic friends, mourning as
for a son dead instead of drilling.
Then came letters from the border. Her
boy, a born soldier, was enthusiastic. No,
she needn't send him anything, but would
she join the relief corps at the armory? A
lot of the boys had left young wives and
babies who ought to be looked after.
N tI1 a,r,orx .I1 - -.
tigo in her over-heated rooms. 7t
When Squadron A came home II march
ed between cheering throngs, her boy so
straight and strong, so improved In stature
and bearing that the sight of him contracted
her throat with joy. After that she wanted
to tag him wherever he went. She put an
humbled hand through the youths arm and
called him Son" Nervous prostitution?
Gone!
When President Wilson declared war
against Germany, and her neighbors talked
about sons applying for entrance to officers
training camps or the medical corps, it was
hard for her to keep the thrill of pride and
patronage out of her voice when she spoke
of my son in the army, Sergeant c.
of Squadron A."
He's "out there" now, perhaps guarding
your water works, your bridges, the NUM-
tons plant which is such a menace to your
town. And with him tramps the memory
of a mother re-made by his enlistment, a
mother proud and brave.
What sort Of memory will your bow take
to the front?
When he ~enlists, don't have Mysteries.

If you have tears to shed, wait till he has
gone. He'll want to remember you smiling.

Raising the Rates

Western livestock producers yesterday
told the Interstate commission
that the proposed fifteen per cent increase
in railroad rates YOU'D nave a strong tend
ency to thwart the federal effort to increase
production.
The railroads operating in New Mexico
are asking to make a similar raise. At the
same time it has been intimated that many
trains are to be taken off the schedule,
running time is to be made longer, obser.
Walton and buffet cars are to be eliminated
and the conveniences of the travelling pub
lie practically cut out of the equation, be-
cause of the heavy demands said to be
made on roads In the movement of troops,
munitions and supplies. Add to this a If
teen per cent raise in freight rates and the
industrious New Mexico producer is likely
to wonder where he is going to get off.
The railroads will make their request in
this state through the ablest experts in the
business. The state corporation commits
sion should have a real hearing on this
proposition, matching expert with expert. If
the roads want to top a heavy reduction
in service with a heavy increase in freight
rates, the people ought to know exactly
why. And it might be we'll to remember
that the corporations running some rail.
roads in this state are escaping millions of
dollars taxation on mining properties.

Organization Needed

A call has been issued by the Secretary
of the Treasury Of the United States for the
Liberty Loan of 1917. Two Thousand Mil
lions OF dollars must be subscribed by the
American people to enable this govern
ment to carry on this war for freedom, DEM
ocracy and liberty, to carry it to an over
whelming victory and thereby bring to a
speedy. conclusion carnage and destruction.
1t is one Of the hottest of wars that a ma.
ton can wage. Not a war for selfish gains,
but a war for the liberation of people, who
nave been groaning under the burden OF
militarism, the iron rule of autocracy, the
tyranic powers of "junkerdom' and Prus'
sianism.
1t is a war which by its victory will give
to others that which we as a nation have
enjoyed since our birth, the blessings OF
democracy. And finally 1t is a war for
peace to reign supreme for evermore
throughout the world. 1t is indeed a holy
war!
For this the money is needed and needed
at once!
Like one gigantic unit, with an enthu'
siasm, a willingness, a determination un.

creed, regardless of party, regardless OF
sex, regardless of age, and regardless OF
birth or descent. They must do this,
prompted by these three motives: Patriot
ism, Love of Humanity and Thrift.
The objects Of this war command the
first two motives.
The conditions of the Liberty Loan bond
control the third.
No matter how much enthusiasm for
patriotism, love of humanity and thrift
there may exist individually, it is only
through well organized, thoroughly system
affixed and thereby nationally concentrated
effort, that such results can be achieved, as
behooves us as a great nation and the rich
est one ON earth, in connection with this
loan.
Otherwise ibis q case Of scattered and
much wasted energy 1911
The widest publicity alone does not do it.

Every organization, every society, every

Special meetings should be called,s speci-
fc resolutions be adopted and a strong
committee be appointed to put forth a well
organized propaganda to popularize this
loan and to enable and induce everyone to
subscribe.
This should be done at oncei
Men of prominence, influence and stand

Frenzied Frugality

Economy is a virtue and waste Is a sin
in the use of food, but economy does not
necessarily extend to scrimping in every ar
ticle of use or wear. You may deny your.
self ice cream on a day in July, says an ex-
change, but need not refuse to buy a palm
leaf fan, nor does the reason for going with,
out turkey on Thanksgiving involve the non
purchase of an oyercoat or covering your
bed with grain sacks instead of a down
quilt. There is no reason why the cloth
ing business, the dry goods business or any
other similar line OF trade should suffer re.
action on account of the war.
And even In the matter OF food the talk
OF scarcity has caused scarcity. The Chris
tian Science Monitor says editorially: Gro.

port that well-to-do customers have been
in large quantities of foodstuffs, bid
