America In War to the Finish, and
Allies Rely on Her for the
Victory.
U.BoA1 Menace IS GROWING
Conflict VIII Be Long and Not Easily
Won-BritIsh and French commis-
slons Urge Early Dispatch OF
United States Troops TO
Europe.
BY EDWARD w. pickARo,

! America Is In the war against Ger
many to the finish, according to the
verbal pledge given the British unC
French commissioners by President
Wilson and according to the spirit OF
determination shown by the govern
ment and the people. And 1t Is high
time, for the entente allies virtually
admit their hopes OF victory are now
founded ON the assistance to be given
by the United States.
This dependence upon America has
been brought about mainly by two cir.
cumstances-the increasing success OF
Germany's u-boat campaign and the
dIsorgunized state OF affairs In Rus
sia.
Cabinet members and others In high
place were ut especial pains during
last week to impress upon the Amer.
lean people the fact that the war Is
not to be won easily or soon. 1--WE
might rs well wake up to the fact that
the situation Is serious" said Secretary
Lansing. III we don't fight the wni
on the other side" said Secretary
Lane. eve shall have to fight It on
this side of the Atlantic" Secretary
Daniels declared the administration Is
concentrating It's energies on the prob
lem OF defeating the German subma'
rine campaign" the gravcst menace of
this conflict. ut IL good to learn, al
so from Secretary Daniels, that Thorn
as A. Edison Is at work with 10 as
s..l al nhn nj la,.t
devices to mid in the capture and de-
struction Of undersea craft.
Most OF the German U-boats, II ap'
pears. are built at kiel and sent out
from that port through Swedish waters,
Great Britain Is now trying to per-
sunde Sweden to permit her to use these
waters for the purpose of blocking the
exit Of the submarines.
Two, three, even five years more OF
warfare Is freely predicted by govern
ment officials. and they are going
ahead with their preparations on that
basis. II may well be that the Unit
ed States will have to draft, train and
nut I'm the field greater army than
nny that has been raised by any other
country. Every resource OF the ma
ton must be brought into action and
every individual will be called on to
help so far as In him Hes.
At the present writing the outlook
is rather gloomy. but II Is inconceiv-
able that, once aroused to the grent
tnsk before Il. America can fail to win
the ultimate victory.
Busy In War Councils.
The British and French war COM
missioners have been exceedingly
busy in Washington helping to plan
the part America Is to have In the
war. 1t seems to be agreed that Uncle
Sam shall have virtual control Of
the food supplies for the allied
countries. In addition to this we ara
expected to furnish much OF the neces'
sary shipping. and start In that line
was made during the week when the
senate passed resolution empower.

The Quay County Chamber of Com
merce earnestly desires to render you
every assistance possible in the pro-
curing of seed for the planting Of
every available acre and to help you
promote the farming interests gen.
orally. Our State government is pre-
pairing cooperative plans on an ex-
tensive scale, and the State War Com
mittee desires information along spe-

you. Before they can plan the work
for Quay county it will be necessary
so they advise, that they have definite
information as outlined in the ques-
tions below.
You are urged to answer these ques.
tons and to mail this form to Herbert
Smith, Tucumcari, N. NJ, at the earl
lest possible moment. The extent Of
State cooperation for Quay county
will depend largely upon the prompt.

The Experiment Station is trans
planting five thousand young trees,
most of which are of the shade va
riety. This is an experiment and is
for the purpose Of determining which
of the shade varieties is best suited
to this country. We all know the old
black locust and cottonwood are more
commonly grown but there may be
some other variety that would be still
better. The ground was prepared last
year for the receiving of these trees
but there had not been sufficient mois-
ture during the past six or eight
months to take chances.
The snow Saturday night and Sun
day was estimated at the station to
be nine inches producing about one
inch of moisture. Manager Smith
said the manner in which the snow
came and melted was equivalent TO
about three inches of rain. So it was
truly God-send TO New Mexico.
Several farmers and stockmen re-
port the loss of a few cattle as the
stock was thin in flesh and could not
withstand the cold damp snow, but
none Of them seem to be sorry be-
cause the snow and rain were worth
more to Quay county than the stock
lost. In fact it was good investment
because thousands Of head Of cattle
and horses would have perished for
lack of feed. Grass will now come
forth and help the farmer with the
plow and hoe save the day for Uncle
Sam so far as the food question is
concerned
