que position among the cities OF the
country incomparably above any 9TH
er city of its class. We have the men,
the brains, the money and the spirit,
The plan is right and the men are
ready United support of all the bus
mess and professional men will, in
deed, make the slogan, Forward Al

Following is the first announce
ment of the campaign comlnittee:
Committee Announcement.
I'VE arc pleased to inform you that
the desire of the people of Albuquer-
que for q strong and aggressive or
ganization to advance the interest of
our city and give 1t a place of high
repute among cities of equal and
larger population is about to be real
lied.
THE need of a modern agency, to
do for Albuquerque what commercial
organizations are doing for other cit
les, has been felt as supreme, and, as
result, two definite achievements
have been accomplished.
First: The problem of the Com.
mercial club building has been
solved Through commendable
civic patriotism on the part of mum.
her Of our citizens, the .odium of fore.
closure has been avoided, and the
building saved to continue as a COM
munity center.
Second: After an exhaustive ma
tional survey and investigation of the
equipment and policies of organiza-
tons eXerting greatest influence on
community growth and prosperity.
merce has been organized on princi-
pies laid down as correct in the ex-
perienCe of 800 of the most success
full cities and towns of the United
States.
This is an era of organization.
Even as a war measure our national
government finds greatest help in the
execution of national policies from
commercial organizations in the cen-
ters of populations over the country.
Albuquerque will take her place in
this nationwide effort as we'll as in
the primary task of increasing our
population and establishing condi-
tions of content and prosperity in our
community.
From time to time you will be ad-
vised of the plans in hand, their pur-
pose and fulfillment.
AN expression of your thought on
the subject of our need for a strong,
central organization is requested The
assurance of your support to such a
movement will be doubly welcome.
Very truly yours,

ARE
GOOD FIGHTERS,
GENERAL ASSERTS
of Military Affairs De-
clares Opinion That Colon
iaIs and Scotch Are Super
ior Is Error.

London, July DISCRIMINATING
the military events of the past week.
Maj Gen. Frederick b. Maurice,
chief director Of military operations,
at the war office, said today to the
Associated Press:
"The British front has been note
worthy only for the fact that 1t has
seen the heaviest fighting in the his
tory of the war with the losses Sc
verest on the German side and the
results generally favorable to the
British. On land there was only
minor fighting without material
change.
"On the French front the Germans
still are carrying on their policy of
using picked troops for local opera
tions aimed at exhausting and harass-
ing the French. The result has been
nil and the policy is concession that
the Germans are incapable of at
tempting any really great efforts.
"On the Russian front bad wealth
er and floods have necessitated the
drawing back of some advanced
posts without important change"
Supplementlng his talk on the mill
tary operations General Maurice
remarked:
II am told that in the United
States the ordinary man has got a
general impression that when any
really stiff fighting job is to be done
the Englishmen call on the Aus
tralian, Canadian or Scotsman to
take the van. This idea is being
carefully fostered by the Germans
with the foolish idea of spreading
some dissension between the
branches of the Anglo-Saxon race.
"As a matter of fact the greatest
part of the fighting since the war
began has naturally fallen on Eng
lish troops-they are the largest part
Of the army and have borne the brunt
of the work. The casualty lists show
that the English regiments have
fought just as gallantly and bravely
and have lost as heavily as any regi-
ment In the imperial army"

lsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiHrl
Washington, July 19.-The admin
istration food control bill today APP
preached final form in the senate.
Making rapid progress under
limited debate agreement the senate
approved 60 to l6, an amendment
drafted at joint conferences of dem
ocratic and republican leaders to linn
it government control to food, feeds
and fuel, including kerosene and gas
oline, and to vest the administrative
authority in three salaried members
instead of a single individual.
Although the action was tentative
and will be subject to reconsideration
before Saturdays final vote on the
bill, 1t is expected by the leaders to
stand and to be accepted by the
house in conference. The vote was
regarded as forecasting general sup
port of other bipartisan proposals
awaiting action.
Partisan Lines Erased.
Tomorrow the senate expects to
dispose of the modified federal IL
censing section and that fixing
minimum price for wheat. A price
of 50 per busher at primary markets
is expected to have the support of
large group of senators.
Partisan lines were erased in to-
days debate and the voting brought
to head in sharp clashes the contro-
ate for a month. The name Of Her
bert c, Hoover frequently was
brought into the discussion and al
through the senate voted for food
commission instead of single ad-
minstrator, it rejected by over
Whelming viva voce vote amend
ments by Senator Reed, who has as
sailed Mr.. Hoover bitterly, designed
10 prevent him from serving Sena-
tor Reed was vigorously criticised by
Senators Hollis Williams and others
for his attacks upon Mr.. Hoover.
Opposition Is Small.
The amendment limiting the nee
essaries for government control and
providing for the food board, was
written into the bill after many flu
tile attempts were made to name
other articles for governmental reg
ulation, The sixteen senators vot-
ing against accepting the substitute
were: Rorah, Cummins, France,
Gronna, Hitchcock, Husting, Jones
of Washington; Kellogg. La Toilette,
McNarv, Nelson. Norris Reed, Sher-
man, Sutherland and Townsend.
An amendment by Senator Kenyon
seeking to include iron ore and its
products. including steel, farm imple-
ments and tools, and binding twine,
was rejected, A to %. The senate
also rejected by identical votes of so
to 27, amendments by Senator New
lands to add iron, steel, copper and
aluminium and its products. and by
Senator Borah, to add fertilizers and
their ingredients. Senator Hastings

During a recurrence of the contro-
versy over Herbert Hoover's ap-
pointment, an amendment under
which Mr.. Hoover would be specifi-
cally designated as food administra-
tor was introduced by Senator Jones
