a Fighting About Riga.

sThere has been no relaxation in the
intensity of the fighting between the
a French and the Germans on various
sectors of the southern line in France
afrom the region of Soissons eastward
through to the Champagne and into
the district northeast of Verdun, CEN
tering about the famous hill 3O4.
Victories are recorded for both sides
-tsr the Germans along the Laon-
Scissors road in the penetration and
destruction of French trenches and in
Champagne, north of Mont Teton,
where the forces Of the Crown Prince
previously had been repulsed with
heavy casualties, and for the French
in the Verdun sector, where Gen. Pc
tains forces took enemy lines on a

X Persistent Counter Attacks.
: The success of the Germans north
OF Mont Teton was obtained through
persistent counter-attacks on positions
they had lost last Saturday, in which
their losses have been extremely
heavy. While the German war office
asserts that all the old German posi-
tions were recaptured, the Paris Off
cial communication declares that the
troops of the Crown Prince only re-
gained a footing at certain points in
the French elements.
Artillery duels and small operations
carried out by raiding parties continue
to feature the situation on the line
GWhere the British are facing the Ger
~'fhans. Intensive air fighting is still
in progress in this region, in the lat
Sest of which six German machines
were driven down by British airmen,
whose machines all returned from
their forays.
Russians Evacuate Town.
., The Russians in East Galicia have
been forced for strategic reasons to
evacuate the town of Kalusz and take
up positions on the southern side of
the Lomnica river. The important
crossing of the Lomnica was made
secure by the troops Of Gen. Brussil-
off after they made their retreat. Pre-
g,ious to retiring the Germans had
arriedSout persistent attacks on Kal-
lsz, but the Russians had repulsed
all of them. Serious fighting has
taken place in the immediate region
Of the village of Novica, the Austro-
Germans capturing it, but later be-
ing driven out on the arrival Of Rus
sian reserves.
Heavy artillery fighting continues
along the northern front around Riga,
Dvinsk and Smorgon, the extent of
the operations not having yet been
revealed.
In Rumania, along the Dunabe, Rus
sian scouts captured the village of
Y Dunaevcc and most of it's defenders,
but later abandoned the position.
n In none of the other rheaters has
@3there been battle of any Importance.

SUPREME COURTS
IMPORTANT DECISION
Case of State vs. Gilbert ct. al. in
Favor of the State.

Columbia, July 12.-The State Su-
preme Court today in affirming the
lower court in the case of the state,
respondent, VS.. j. Ellis Gilbert, Su-
sannah Gilbert and others, appellants,
has finally decided in favorS Of the
state criminal prosecution in Lee
county which attracted great deal
of interest throughout the country.
The Supreme Court thus refers to the
facts:
"The evidence in the case discloses
the fact that Miss Broadway was prin-
cipal of Liberty F II school and Ruby
Gilbert and Lawton Gilbert were pu-
pills in the schoo' A few days before
Miss Broadway was assaulted and
beaten she suspended Ruby from
school. After this suspension, Miss
Broadway was requested by two of
the trustees of the school to meet the
father of Ruby to adjust the matter.
While on the way to school and the
proposed meeting as arranged by the
trustees, Miss Broadway, accompanied
by her friend and fellow teacher, Miss
Ethel Logan, was stopped on the pub
lie road by the Gilberts and severely
beaten. This beating was inflicted by
the women of the Gilbert family
None of. the men, according to the
vidence, actually struck her, but
there is evidence that all were pres
ent during the assault. There is evil
dence that Lawton Gilbert and Raw
ton Gilbert, with their father, Ellis
Gilbert, surrounded Miss Logan, Miss
Broadway's companion, and assistant
teacher, while the female members of
the Gilbert family were assaulting
and beating Miss Broadway, and pre-
vented Miss Logan from interfering.
Rawton Gilbert was not pupil in the
school, but was present at the diff
Guilty."
At the close of the states testi-
mony and at the close of all the
testimony a motion was made for a
verdict of acquittal as to Rawton Gil
bert and Lawton Gilbert upon the
ground that there was not sufficient
evidence upon which TO base a con-
viction as to them. The motion was
refused. After the defendants were
convicted of assault and battery of a
high and aggravated nature, motion
for new trial was made and lefused.
"There is evidence" says the Su-
preme Court in affirming the lower
court, "that the men ioined the women
when they came out uf the house
where the meeting was arranged for
by the trustees. That they conferred
together and after that went and did
meet Miss Broadway and her COM
panion and were present and saw the
severe punishment inflicted on Miss
Broadway" The court discusses the
law at length, saying that wf they
were there to carry out the unlawful
designs in pursuance of common de-
sign participating actually or poten-
TALLY, if necessary, then all were
guilty, the act of one was the act of
ALL"
eve cannot refrain," says the court,
"from calling attention to and ex-
pressing our dsapproval of the want
of manhood exhibited by the trustee
in not protecting or making an effort
to protect Miss Broadway when she
was so outra seously assaulted and
| beaten"

During the past few months the
people Of the United States have had
impressed more and more on them the
importance Of the smaller newspaper
as a Community servant" During
this time the Western Liberal has
fulfilled more obligations to its read
ers and the community at large than
at ar. time in its history News OF

Tied r. the large press associations,
but o. vif.l interest TO the cOmmuni-
~, publicity aiding the Liberty loan,
the Red Cross fund and the movement
for food conservation, together with
stories &c TIE industrial development
of the big region around LOrdsburg
have been given in addition to the
regular local and county news. Per-
haps in no other way has the Western
Liberal proved its value as a Com
mUnitv servant" as in furnishing in
formation about the draft law. Be-
sides the telegraphic bulletins on the
first day Of the drawing at Washing
ton. a list of names. serial and draft
numbers has been kept on file at the
Office. together with authentic infor-
nation in regard TO the details Of the
law and the workings of the exemp-
ton boards. Hundreds Of young men
have called or written for their num-
hers. or asked for explanation Of in
tricate points in the law, all Of which
has been cheerfully given. In some
cases a money payment was offered
for such information by persons who
did not realize that this was only Une
Ct the mar kinds Of public service
offered by an up-tO-date newspaper.
The Western Liberal does not seek
any special credit for doing these
things: it is just performing its duty
as a Community servant" In former
times the principal function of the
newspaper was believed to be that Of
influencing public opinion, and the ed
itOrials were the chief feature Of the
paper. Now when people prefer to
do their own thinking. the up-tO-date
newspaper has ZONE to be one which
gives fair and impartial news. at the
same time aiding in all movements
for the upbuilding and lettering OF
the cOmmunity.

WATERS
LUNA COUNTY DESCRIBED

Luna county. in southern New Mex
leo, Is not rich in metallic minerals,
but parts Of the county are underlain
at 10 great depth by waters which
are Of great value for irrigation.
These waters are now used extensive
", and when they are fully utilized
their products will be Of great value.
In the Deming folio of the Geologic
Atlas Of the United States, now be-
ing issued by the United States Geo
logical Survey, Department Of the In
terror, Geologist N. II. barton gives
a description Of the greater part Of
Luna county. He shows that, al
though the area underlain by water
Is wide and long, it has its limits and
hOmesteaders taking land outside Of
the favored district viii be disap-
pointed in their water supply.
In this publication many facts are
given as to depth Of wells, volume of
water available, and other important
details as to water resources.
The water bearing beds are 20 to
80 feet thick and consist Of gravels
and sands deposited by Mimbres
river, mostly lying from 20 to 200
feet below the surface. They under
lie shout 500 square miles of country,
and Il is estimated that in this area
there is sufficient water to cover
$500, 900 acres to a depth of one foot.
This supply will bear considerable
draft, but as the source Of the water
is not unlimited crowding Of pumping
plants would in time seriously deplete
the supply.
There are in the area about 300
wells now being pumped, and the
many acres under irrigation are yield
ing good crops Of forage and vegeta-
bles. Accordingly the region is pros
pering, and Deming has developed
into a town Of considerable import
ance.
Besides discussing the vital subject
of water, Mr.. barton. gives data as
to the rocks and minerals of various
kinds which appear in the scattered
ridges and rough mountains rising
out Of the great desert plain. These
rocks represent portions of geologic
time from the most ancient to rela-
lively recent, and some Of them are
igneous, the products of vigorous vol
canoes

A CULTURE CENTER

Las week the Western Liberal pub
lished a poem entitled High Chin
Bob" from the pen Of II. X. knibbs,
a member &C. the Santa Fe literary
colony. Perhaps the poem was not
remarkable from a metrical stand
point. but It BETRAYED a delightful
whimsical humor and a close adher-
ence 70 the realism Of the cOweamp
that stamped it as an interesting
niece OF creative work.
Mr.. Knibbs. who e a well-known
magazinist, is only one Of the numer.
ons artists, writer's, musicians and
scientists who are making New Mex
leo known as a culture center
throughout the United States. Santa
Fe, with it's romantic beauty and
charm, has appealed more to these
artists Of pen, brush and musical
score than any other city In the state.
But others have found homes in Taos
Deming. Silver City. Albuquerque and
other New Mexican cities.
The list Of these celebrities Is a
long one; II might be invidiOus "a
mention but a few. Yet II would be
incomplete not to speak Of the pioneer
writer and traveller, Charles +. Lum'
mis-, VINO first interpreted the pecu'
liar romantic charm Of New Mexico
10 the world. The state owes much
10 Mr.. Lummis for his services In at,
tracing the artists, writers ano
thinkers who are making the name
Of New Mexico known everywhere as
a birthplace Of "A new and original
type Of artistic development.

THE FOOD DILL

President Wilson has signed the
food control bill after congress took
its time about passing il. II was orig
inally intended to have this radical
and drastic measure a law by July l,
but the fight waged by extremists
among prOhibitiOnists to make the
country "bOne dry" which would have
crippled business, caused immense
loss Of revenue and thrown a million
men out of work, together with OBJ
structiOn by other interests, delayed
the passage of the bill.
Control over food, fuel and imple-
will come from the president and his
advisers. Nothing beyond a fair price
at n fair profit will be permitted. ANY
factory or industry in the country
needed by the government for any
public use" car be Communicated.
Boards Of trade and price fixing
exchanges will be regulated by gov
ornamental fiat. The president car buy
and sell for cash, and producers OF
foOdstuTs must accept government
offers. Such institutions as have been
buying up products with the intention
Of warehOusing them until winter
won't be able to make the profits they
figured on doing. because such bust
ness is particularly obnoxious to the
law and is heavily punishable.
The compromise on the liquor ques.
ton appears TO have given general
~ tisfactiOn. Even the cessation Of dis
tilling, as required by the bill, will
rot throw anv men out Of work, as
the plants will be turned over to the
government by distllers Immediately
for the manufacture of alcohol for use
In making explosives.

%CULTTVATING THE WILL

We recently purchased a book tell
ing how to make the will about 1000
per CEN stronger.
This is a very dangerous book to
fall into the hands of any woman.
Ninety-nine per cent of them have
wills that are too strong now.
tn book gives exercises for
strengthening the will which you are
to follow every day. If you follow
directions you wouldn't have any time
left TO ear a living.
The book tells how to conquer bad
habits. Before swearing il says to
count to twenty-five. We wonder how
far a printer ought to count who has
just pied a $25 legal ad which has
one more time to rum
The mule is one of the best exam
pies Of will power we know Of. No
mule ever read this book, either. We
knew a mule with a stubborn will
that stopped right short on a railroad
crossing. The train reached the next
station on time, just the same.
