Can We In America
Match This French Spirit?

Here is a little story that came over
the seas in letter from France, which
illustrates better than volumes the
spirit hat is animatlng the French peo-
pie. a young man was modified the
very first day of the war. leaving behind
him his wife, who was soon 10 become a
mother.
While he was still in camp. he learned
that a little son had arrived in his home.
Borrowing a bicycle and taking the fear
wartime, he rode all night and spent an
hour with his wife and baby, returning
to his post without detection.
From that tifne-on he fought bfavely
for France until he was blinded by
shrapnel shell. Now he is back home on
tiny farm, trying to pick up the
thread. Of his broken life, To a visitor
who saw the mans little son cUddling
against his knee, the poilu said: You
know ] saw him. / saw nm one time :"
Thst was all-no repining. no com
paint no railing against fate and for
tune but the simple. thankful statement
that a. least once before the great dark
ness il had been permitted him TO see
the boy he loved
Now that man S everyday patriotism
his love for country. his willingness to
sacrifice all for France without question,
as typical Of French men and women.
Until we can match this spirit, until
we can resolve 20 throw all we have and
are into the scales against brutal Ger
man nilitarism and despotism. America
viii Mt be fully awake, will not be doing
her full duty TO herself and nations
everywhere that aspire to freedom and
peace

The Mission of the Pacifist
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. By Frank Crane)

In spite of the fact that the United
States is at war, in spite of the fact
that lot of vociferous barking dogs are
making scornful meriment over those
who opposed war. the fact is that the
majority of the people in this country.
including their President, thank God! are
still pacifsts.
That is they hate war they go into
war only as a last resort, and they want
to get out of it as soon as possible. Also,
they will not go into war unless they
know what they are fighting for, and
until they are convinced that their cause
is a high and noble one for which man
may well die.
And the pacifst's usefulness has not
ceased lie was never more needed than
now What is his duty in the present
instance?
L. II is his duty to see that this war
is kept true to the lofty aims which
President Wilson outlined, that we re.
main unselhsh, generous, and altruistc,
and do not descend now or later into a
nasty scramble for loot or territory. It's
all RIGHT to send cur young men to die
that the world shall be made safe for
democracies," but to gain one foot of
alien land or one dollar of plumber is not
worth one boys life.
,. 1t is the pacihst's duty to stand by
democracy by heartily supporting his
country in this conflict. Whether We go
to wal is not now debatable. We are in
it. We went into it by the vote Of the
overwhelming majority of our legally
chosen representatives. To rebel against
their decision is to emasculate democ-
racy, to rob it Of all efficiency Unless a
democratic government by its majority
can act as positively and. dependaby as
kings and autocracies it is merely mob;
it is a nuisance and a menace.
B. The pacifst sees in this war that
destiny is playing into his hand. The
triumph Of the allies means peace, per-
manent peace in the counsels Of the
world We wish that end might have
come some other way But fate has
not so decreed Hence we adjust our
selves. If we can only get world gov
eminent by combining with the worlds
democracies TO crush the menacing au-
toci9cies. which program is perpetual
mntarism, so be it! We shoulder our
gun. There's only one way to peace now,
and that is to put out of business the
nefarious criminal triple combination of
Germany. Austria and Turkey. To talk
Of making a peace that will leave these
three highway robbers in world power
is the opposite Of pacifism.
4. You need not be ashamed Of being
a pacfst But be "A pacifst as George
Washington was pacihst, who went
back to his farm when his job was done;
like Lincoln was pacifst, who said
"fondiy do we hope and fervently do we
pray that this scourge of war may
speedily pass away; or like Grant was
pacifst, who faithfully did his bit, tho
he declared that he never knew Of a war
where the issue might not have been bet
ter settled some other way.
5. Hold up your head This is pa
cifst's war. 1t is Sir Galahad who is
called, not the bully and busterer.

TO ALL SHIPPERS OF
FREIGHT IN NEW MEXICO

! Santa Fe, June 2, 1917
This Commission is in receipt of q
letter from Mr.. c. NJ. Sheaffer, chair.
man Of the American Railway Asso-
citation, concerning the loading Of cars
to their fullest capacity, which letter
is as follows:
THE commission on car service, q
b-committee of the executive com
mlttee, national council Of defense.
desires to call your attention to the
necessity for cooperation between all
interests, IN order to obtain full eff
cheney OF the transportation unit, or
freight ear, and asks your unquali-
lied support in connection with de-
mand upon the shipping public to-
disregard established trade units
and minimum carload weights. vari-
Gus commodities as provided in Tar
IFS, Rules and Regulations, and in
stead, load all equipment furnished
to the full cubical or carrying capac
ity and by this method avoid loss of
20 to % percent efficiency which now
prevails; thus assisting in relieving
congestion, at the same time resulting
in more cars being available for hand
ling traffic offered, both for the gov.
eminent as well as the general ship
ping public
Many terminals, wards and indus
trial tracks are now taxed beyond
their limit and cannot be enlarged or
extend to material degree, but these
tracks will be relieved if equipment
furnished is loaded to the full Gu
bical capacity, and ut the same time
provide more equipment for traffic in
other territory, and materially in
crease the total tonnage handled with
more regular and better service"
In view of the fact that car short.
age prevails throughout the entire
United States. which apparently can
be relieved appreciably if all ears al.
loaded to their full space capacity,
this commission urgently requests
that all New Mexico shippers load
ears to capacity when practicable in
order to assist in relieving the con
ge,tion and provide additional equip
ment for the use of themselves and
other shippers.

have lust received your favor of
May "A, enclosing letter from Mr..
Willard T.. Holt of Dcming, New Mex
leo, relative To- securing electric power
from the Elephant Butte Dam to de-
velop the MimbrcS Valley.
The Elephant Butte Dam presents
an opportunity for the development Of
a large amount of power during the
irrigation sca-ou. bul only small
amount, and that Internationally, dur
ing the non-irrlgating sea son. 1t Is
hence of little value for ordinary
commercial use, which requires more
in winter than IN summer but is cS-
pcclally adapted 10 irrigation Uses.
and tins seems 10 bc the use contcm-
plated by Mr. Holt
The Mimbrcs Valley is within trans
mission distance of the reservoir. and
understand has a considerable
amount of water underground avail
able for pumping to the SURFACE tor
irrigation have long regarded this
rs probably the best field for the use
of this power
The law authorizes the Secretary
of the Interior to lease power and
power privileges from irrigation
works, and feel sure the Depart
ment would be glad to entertain II
proposition for the development Of
power at Elephant Butte for use in
the Mimbres Valley by anyone able
to finance such development
