PREPARING
TO WELCOME GUARD

There will be a hot time in the old
town when the Santa Fe soldiers come
marching home.
The boys who responded to the call
of the president on May IL and went
to the border to protect it from Villa
bandits, are expected back here by the
end of the month. The members OF
the chamber of commerce are talking
|of giving the boys a war; welcome,
as it is deemed but proper to show
some sign of appreciation of their
work at the border during the many
trying months since the raid on Co
'lumbus.
Just what form of entertainment is
to be provided has not been settled
according to Secretary Doyle, of the
chamber Of commerce, but a rousing
welcome, with speeches of praise and
a rollicking ball at night are consid-
cred suitable manifestations Of re-
gard.
1t has been a long time since the
Santa Fe guardsmen have danced in
their own armory. Perhaps they
would appreciate nothing SO much as
a military hop, with lively tunes by
their own band or some other organi-
zation of musicians.
1t has also been suggested that San
ia Fe provide a bronze medal for each
guardsman who served at Columbus.

SOME DISAGREEMENT ON
FORM OF RESOLUTION
Senator Lewis, the Democratic
whip. said at the White House today
he believed congress should pass a
resolution reciting acts Of aggression
by Germany and giving the president,
as commander-in-chief of the army
and navy, full authority to defend the
rights and interests of the United
States.
A declaration that a state of war
exists. the senator said, would have
some disadvantages because of inter-
ference in the commercial relation
ship with foreign nations.
Senator Lewis declared he believed
congress would be virtually united be-
hind the president.
Chairman Denman, of the ship
ping board, stated that, while he
could not give accurate details of the
naval program for communicating
merchant tonnage. he could assure
the shipping public that the program
is not extensive and will create no
considerable disturbance in overseas
commerce. 1t is not in the mind OF
the navy department at the present

lows:
mo two public interests are more

schools and good highways. Both OF
them affect the material, moral and
social welfare of every community in

For hundreds Of years we of New
Mexico have been developing along
material and social lines our various
communities, large and small. In the
past few years, with a s~uddenness al
most startling, we have realized the
necessity for bringing these communi-
ties closer together by improved
means of communication. Only by
modifying the material and moral as
sets Of all these communities can our
state reach its highest destiny, and
the best means to this end is better

or other distractions, or IL they get
to school, reach it in no fit condition
to get the best results. Consolidated
school houses and civic centers are
impossible without good roads. Hence
it is that literacy bears a direct ra-
ito to highway improvement. It is es-
timated that in Dona Ana county, the
home of good roads, illiteracy has
been reduced from 29 per cent to A

Fight to Preserve Civilization

Quite aside from the task of protecting American lives and rights against
aggression on the high seas the president has considered the broader ques-
ton of the preservation of civilization; the distribution of world power after
the war, a natural arrangement of the worlds peoples in governments by the
consent of the governed and an effective league of nations to protect the
world against another cataclysm of war. The influence o. the United States
in the conference which will make peace is everywhere admitted as not to
be overestimated.

Although the Hague convention of 1907, to which both the United States
