Women Wanted for Army Service.

LONDON.-.Te thousand women recruits a month for use in the Army Auxiliary Service are being appealed for here. The chief need is for domcs- tic workers typists. and automobile drivers. One of the recruiting posters says:
 Although the women must be strong and reliable, it must not be supposed that theeicrc elceeeeec ecc,ectccc that their life is all hard work, They swim, they have games and musical evenings and dances, 10 which each woman can. invite one soldier friend They play as hard as they work, and they live a wholesome life.

 The recruits will be sent to France as fast as they are enrolled.

Basin Oil Company Organized

We are going to find out
whether or not there is oil or gas
in the east part of the county,
anyway.
A number of enterprising men
of Encino and vicinity have or
ganized the Basin Oil Co. and an
nounce their intention of punch
ing a hole in the earth to a maxi
mum depth of 4 1000 feet.
The capital stock is $500, 900,
and the stock holders are going
to put up enough money to put
the hole down-estimated at
$40, 900 to $4,000
The incorporators are A. B.

Creighton, F. H. Wood, C. E.
Davenport, A. R Archuleta, H.

The people of the vicinity
should get behind the project
and give it every possible en-
couragement
We earnestly hope the COM
pany will succeed and strike it
rich.

tance from Europe constitutes an iso- ,ation that is ample protection-New York city is more closely allied in commercial relations and is easier of access from Europe than We are to Candle-the United States is sur rounded today by Europe on the east, Mexico on the south, Canada on the north, and Japan on the west-and they are all fighting one way or an- other, armies and nayies on al. sides hard at it-it is time we stepped in and stopped it.
 Every citizen in this country either of himself or by his ancestors has foresworn allegiance to an European government, very many did this in repudiation of a government that en- forced military service. while not los ing sympathy with the people from which they came, the matter of one or two generations has not eliminat- ed this feeling of sympathy, nor has it changed the antipathy to enforced military service; but let every Am eriean remember that the time has now arrived when he cannot only as- sist the cause of democracy by the destruction of autocracy and by these means preserve the free institutions of this great government, for a tri- umph of autocracy in Europe would surely threaten the integrity of this country
 And now that the die is cast, that we are in the war, let Us show our let us show the world that our demand for peace we were in earnest, and that we will back up this demand with all our resources, we want peace, we have used every means to maintain it, but now that we have been assaulted let us show that we can and will enforce it.
 President Wilson is right, let all our strength be employed to show that the most democratic unwarAke nation in the world today has the will and the power to enforce peace.
 Our fight now is not for conquest, not for gain, not for power, but for | peace. Let us fight for peace.

THE VALUE OF AMERICAN VIM.

What they need in Siberia and Russia is American initiative and ability to start new things going, and. further, the ability 10 keep them go- ing when started" So says A. G. Freeman, a local merchant, who has just returned from an eighteen months visit in the czar's dominions.
 That these have been the distin- gushing qualities of Americans and have been more than all others re- sponsible for a rapidity of industrial and commercial development without parallel in human history is disputed by none who has given the matter earnest and discriminating thought The wiser of foreign thinkers have agreed that greater than our natural opportunities, and, having recognized them, to set to work without waiting for governmental assistance.

ARE WE APATHETIC

So very frequently We hear from American citizens, who doubtless have their country's welfare sincerely at Leart, very decided objections to the United States taking any active part in the prosecution of the war. Their objections are made in true faith of the rectitude of their convictions, but, aside from those whose national ori- gin gives them racial prejudice, these convictions are in the main the result of a lack of knowledge of the issues which involve this country.
 Probably no ruler in the history of the world has occupied as difficult a position as has President Wilson for the last three years; representa- tive to the warning nations of heterogeneous people, themselves di- vided in sympathy through origin; 1t became necessary for him at once to decide on a course of action that would with dignity protect the inter- ests, preserve the Integrity, and ex- tend the influence of the nation as a whole. The clamor of the militarists, stern demands of the peace advocates, and the gibes of the warning nations, must not influence the action of the peoples elected-simp1y the nation.
 During the first two years and a half of the conflict it seemed as though we might be able to maintain our neutrality, that by the maintenance of peace we might become a greater flc,or In the establishment of perm ;tne1cy that the dignity of our action in ignoring the taunts of the war crazed might be a precedent that would in future compel deliberative acton on all international issues.
 Not until every expedient to pre- serve peace had been exhausted, till he honor and integrity of the nation had been threatened, till actual hos tilities had been commenced did our president call upon the people, not as Englishmen, not as Frenchmen, not as Germans nor Austrians, but as Americans, citizens of the new world 10 rise as one man and settle this mGnstrous upheaval of civilization; assert not only the conviction of the wcongness of war, but our right to assist in putting it down.

For one in Europe who has risen
 from poverty to affluence as the re- suit of commercial, industrial or finan- cial ability, scores have so risen in
 this country. Of these many have come from Europe. which proves that
 it is the new conditions and habits of American thought which have devel- opened a talent which m it's native
 land might never have come to light.
 Social, legal, political and many
 other obstacles stand in the way of
 new enterprises in old world countries.
 So many purely arbitrary and wholly
 extraneous difficulties have to be
 overcome before anything can be
 started in various parts of Europe
 that man is more discouraged by his
 fellow man than by the problems of
 nature.
 Here we began with few traditions and as the years rolled on and new
 people came in those traditions be- came less and less until, in the most natural manner possible, we acquired the habit of direct thought and its consequence, direct action.
 Great were the rewards and their greatness became a stimulus to abil- 1ties which might otherwise have re- mained dormant. Big fortunes could not be made by all, but all shared in- directly in those that were made. The pioneers of industry were begging out claims for others as well as themselves. No manufacturer or in- dustria! organizer ever accumulated more than fraction of the sums paid to others in wages or dividends.
 European economists, or at least | the abest of them recognize that the | most fruitful forms of American free dom were those which related to in- dustry and enterprise. The wealth of | opportunity which leads to freedom | or lndividualism in America stands l III Sidlp CO4ltldSI lO lllc islSh pA OP- | portunity which has developed so- cialistic philosophy in Europe. The | one is the doctrine of hope; the other the teaching of despair.
 And yet despite the thing which ; Freeman and others see so clearly that American progress is due to American initiative and ability to start new thlngs"-there has arisen | schoo! of politicians who. catering 70 the cupidity and envy of the less successful, desire to legislate that out of existence. Forgetting hat production must precede distri- )ution, and must always be the basic they want to start rom the wrong end which is the re- | striction of output, under the mistaken | idea that if those who have the ability | to produce in largest quantities are | restrained it will be better for the | less gifted.
 There is much talk of what Flu | rope will be able to do as competitor | when peace comes and new condi- | tions of trade are established, but | America need never fear the rivalry | of any nation so long as we preserve !
