OUR GUESTS

We were very glad to welcome
the cattlemen Cf Cochise and
Graham counties to our town for
their first convention since they
decided TO combine and make one
organization of the cattle inerests
of the two counties.
An organization of this kind,
bringing together all those en-
gagged in this great industry in
Cochise and Graham counties,
and by such combination take
care of each individual need and
cementing by cooperation the
strong will of a united interest
for those betterments that can
be better secured at all times
thru the single effort of a strong
organization, is bound to be sue
cessful down to the smallest de-
tail.
The cattle industry is one of
the great businesses of our coun-
try and practically one of the
greatest necessities of the peo-
pie. The successful solving of
all problems tending to the great
er success of the industry is
something which is of vital in
terest to each and every individ-
ual forming the vast population
of our country.
There are many needs OF the
individual cattlemen that can be
better attended to and more sue
cessfully obtained thru organized
effort. There is also much good
accomplished by the entire men,
bership meeting together and
bringing up for discussion those
betterments that are needed on
the range. These discussions are
certain to be interesting as well
as important to every member.
One of the great problems is
the best method of marketing
the products of the cattle indus
try, and another and equally i'm
portant need of the cattlemen is
the best plan obtainable for
checking the growth of poison
Gus weeds on the ranges and to
make united action for a good
State bounty law for the extermi-
nation of predatory animals. All
these things are surer of being ac-
complished thru organized effort,
for in union there is strength.
The success of the Cochise-
Graham Counties Cattle Grow
ers' Association is sure to be
beneficial to the smallest as well
as to the largest cattle owner,
and their success means much for
the prosperity of both counties.

GERMANS ARE FORCED
FROM FRENCH POSITIONS
IMPORTANT POINTS IN
wilson MESSAGE

One very embarrassing obstacle that
stands in our way Is that we are at
war with Germany but not with her
allies. |, therefore, very earnestly
recommend that the congress imme-
diateIy declare the United States in
state of war with Austria Hun
gary.
Our present and immediate task is to
win the war and nothing shall turn
us aside from 1t until it is accom-
pIished.
Every power and every resource we
possess, whether of men, of money
or of materials, is being devoted and
will continue to be devoted to that
purpose until it Is achieved.
Any peace that America makes must
not only deliver the people and the
lands of Belgium and northern
France from Prussan conquest, but
also must deliver the people of Aus
tria-Hungary, the Balkans and Tur-
key from the impudent and Prussian
military and commercial autocracy.
First, this ltnoIerab!e thing of which
the masters of Germany have shown
us the ugly face, this menace of
combined intrigue and force which
we now see SO clearly as the German
power, a thing without conscience or
honor or capacity for covenanted
peace, must be crushed.

Conference Creates Naval Committee
for Unity of Action.
Paris Dec. 5.-The foreign Office Of
ficially announced that at the recent
inter-allied conference, in which the
United States participated, agreements
were concluded upon the basis of a
complete understanding and close soli-

tion of the questions in which they
have a common interest in the war"
1t was also announced that the ere
alton of supreme inter-allied naval
committee had been decided upon.
The new committee, it is assumed, will
be a cooperative branch of war actfv-
itty with the supreme tnter-allied war
council. The announcement was taken
to mean much closer unity in the al
lied offensive against German subma-
rineS.
The inter-allied general staff, it was
stated, was working upon definite
military program which was placing
unity of military action in the way Of
certain realization.

Germans were collected from the

The attacking forces secured very
narrow strip of ground a little north
and south Of La Vacquerie, but the
British still clung grimly to the high
ground north Of this place.
The British commander voluntarily
pulled back his line to the west and
southwest of Masnieres to make it
