Y. N. E. A. WORK
SOUTH DAKOTA RAISES SIG, 5O0-
PERSHING THINKS WELL
OF ORGANIZATION.

Brookings, Aug. 14.-South Da-
kota leads in Group + states in the
fund campaign for army Y. NJ. c. A.
work, having raised by last weeks
figures Sic. 500. The other states in
this group are North Dakota. Utah,
Oklahoma. Arizona. Louisiana, Mon
tana. Maine and New Hampshire.
The various counties in this state are
setting their marks at $1,000 10
$4,000. The cities have already
completed their funds with amounts
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000.
Gen. Pershing puts a high estimate
upon the Y. NJ. c. A. army work.
This fact is deduced from his recent
cable asking for 500 additional sec
retaries for France Immediately and
the work overseas. According to
Francis b. Sayre. son-in-law of Pres
ident Wilson, the greatest wreckage
of the war is regarded now to be
the loss of men through diseases re-
sulting from vice in camp and during
short periods of leave. He recently
said that lin the Canadian army at
the front today more men r dis
abled from service by disease result
ing from immoral living than by the
shot and shell of the enemy"
Apparently nothing is making any
progress in solving these terrible
open sores of army life ave the
army Y. Nj. G. A. Right in the heart
of these districts the association has
spent hundreds of thousands of dol
lars setting up spacious headquarters
where men may get a clean place to
spend the night at small cost and
where by day they may spend their
days of rest while on leave in a
decent clean manner-rather thar
be lost in the vice that surrounds
them on every hand.

4-QUAHTER PLAN or
STATE UNIVERSITY
INTERESTS EDUCATORS
PRESIDENTS CONGRATULATE DR..
BOYD ON INNOVATION; NEW
SCHEDULE BEING WELL RE-
cElvED IN STATE

Educators all over the United States
have been interested by the recent an
nouncement Of the new four.quarter
operating plan of the University Of
New Mexico under which the univer-
'sity after its opening on October 1st
of this year, will be in operation every
month in the year except in Septem-
Der. Several presidents of other uni
versities have written to President
David X. Boyd con~gratulating him on
the enterprise shown by the univer-
sity in so promptly adapting the in
stitution to the new efficiency basis.
These letters indicate that a number
of others of the state universities will
adopt the f~our-quarter system, but,
aside from the New Mexico university,
from n to three years will be re-
'quired to make the change.
The new plan is also being well re-
'ceiyed in the state. Students and
parents are writing to President Boyd
their approval of the four-quarter sys-
tenn, and especially that featur eof it
which permits attendance at the uni
versity for three, six, nine or twelve
months in each year, as the health,
time and means of the student will al
low. The number of students who de-
sire to take advantage of the three and
six months courses has surprised the
university authorities, although many
such students were expected. The plan
appeals especially to those who find it
necessary to earn their own way
through college. They are permitted
to work half the year and attend the
university the other half, having the
choice as to which months shall be
spent in the university. This is ac-
complished under the new schedule
without loss OF credits and permits Of
graduation in five years. The fact that
the university in future will be open
during June, July and August also is
attracting many students who find in
those months their only time for col
lege work. NV
In spite OF heavy inroads made by
the war on the upper classes, the uni
versity will open on October LIST with
a much larger attendance than last
years total enrolment.

authority OF the County Council OF
Defense andsth sheriff. they were moi
molested. A
On August 2, being angered, at their
failure to find one OF the strike lead
ers, the gunner arrested his wife and
Hooked her in one Of the offices in the
court house. There they gave her a
third degree trying to compel her to
reveal the whereabouts of her hus'
band. She was at that time in a criti-
cal physical condition and has since
given birth to a child.
On August Bird, Captain Fornoff,
acting under the orders of the govern
or and assisted by the district attor-
ney, George R. Craig, caused the dis
missal of these outlaw gunner and
ordered the deported men to return to
their homes. Under their direction
law was restored.
All of the lawless acts perpetrated
by the Council of Defense and the
sheriff with his gunner were done at
the behest Of the Gallup-American
Coal company in an attempt to force
men to work when, as a matter OF law,
they had a legal right to strike.
In conclusion, let me summarize the
demands of the miners. They concede
to the operators the right to hire any
laborers whether they belong to the
union or not, that is, they do not de-
mand a sclosed shop" They do de-
mand that those who SO desire shall be
allowed to organize. They demand
that those so organized shall have the
right to deal with the operators as an
organization rather than as individ-
'uals.
Is this unreasonable Is the Gallup
American Coal company justified in
denying these demands?
Yours truly,
J. W. CHAPMAN,
Attorney at Law.

A conference was held In Gallup

mediator, was present at the meet
ing. The union representatives had
difficulty In being allowed to be pres.

admitted. Manager J. M.
Sully again reiterated his statement
that the company would deal
with the miners collectively, and the
situation between the coal company
is now as far from a settlement as IL

Gentlemen:t
Because Of the outcome Of what is
reported to me as being dangerous
conditions from a standpoint of law
and order at the Madrid mining camp,
this county. and because of my
knowledge OF the time and efforts
given in that matter by you, | am con-
strained to make acknowledgment
of the value of your services 30 rem
dered. Likewise the miners laboring
in the said Madrid mines and in the
several mines embraced within the
area of Santa Fe county, are to be
congratulated for their conservative
action in refusing to go on strike in
this perilous time OF our nation, when
its whole energies must be given to
the equipment and maintenance OF an
army for the successful prosecution
of the war in which we are now en-
gagged.
Without the production of coal the
railroads could not operate their
trains; without the operation OF rail
road trains troops and material could
not be transported, and the work
leading to the defense Of the nation
necessarily would have to cease.
+ assure both you gentlemen and
the men engaged in, mining in the
county of Santa Fe, that the people.
of the state Of New Mexico, as well as
of the nation, most highly appreciate
the result of your deliberations, the
wisdom of your conclusions and the
result leaving the mines in condition
to produce the maximum quantity OF
product under p%eaceable conditions
and general good feeling as between
both owners and employees.

in company with Bombini, he had gone
about his usual duties. Brown for two
minutes evaded the keepers. scrutiny
and ran into the chicken house, where
he broke into the locker and secured
the gun. Just as Bombini ran into the
room, Brown discharged the weapon
by pressing down the trigger with the
handle of a heavy fly killer. Brown

ALL BACK FROM FRISCO TRAIN
ING CAMP WITH HONORABLE
DiscHAReEs \

How many New Mexico men who at.
tended the first series, oficers reserve
corps training camp at San francisco,
have been commissioned officers Of the
y. 5. army is not known even by
Santa Feans who took the training.
This is the statement Of Attorney
Melvin T. Dunlavy, state seantor Of
New Mexico, who has returned from
Frisco with former Assistant Atkor.
ney General M. J. Helmick.
Mr.. Dunlavy, Mr.. Helmfck and John
X. McFfe, Jr., the latter OF Gallup and
formerly Of Santa Fe, were given an
honorable discharge at the completion
OF the three months training and will
be held in the officers reserve corps.
But at the present time they will not
go into the army.
"The opinion seems to be that the
government at this time picked prin-
cipally men with considerable military
training" said Mr.. Dunlavy. There
were four or five West Pointers in
this training camp-men who had the
West Point training, but had quit the
army. There were at least forty men
who were %sergeants in the u. s.. army
and their knowledge Of tactics was
considerable"
Many Weeded Out
Mr.. Dunlavy said that no announce
ment was made at the camp as to
who was granted commissions and
who did not receive this honor. The
commissions were sent through the
mail after the men had gone home. He
said that not fewer than 500 men were
"let out of the camp early in the
season, principally for failure to obey
the strict discipline of the camp and
especially because it was discovered
they were going to theaters and walk
ing around Frisco at night instead of
studying.
Il was just talking to some of the
boys who are going to Fort Leon
Springs to take the training given
u.s." continued Mr.. Dunlavy. "I en-
phasized the Importance of drilling
and learning to drill others. And / ad-
vised these men to show great interest
in following the regulations of the
camp, for otherwise it is hard for
them to go through the three months
course, much less get commissions.
The work is. severe, there can be no
doubt of that"
Emory Marshall, of Globe, Arizona,
husband of Mrs. Marshall, formerly
Miss Helen Laughlin of Santa Fe, was
one of the men who was given a COM
mission. G. NJ Hilton, of Socorro, is
also said to have. been commissioned.

EBRETT ACCEPTS
CHALLENGE Of SMITH

Clayton, N. NJ, Aug. 13.-H. H
Errett, Union county school superin
tendent, mas accepted State Senator q
g. Smiths challenge to joint debate
as follows:
pAugust s, 1917.
"Mr. G.. G. Smith,
Clayton, New Mexico.
Dear Mr.. Smith:
In reply TO your letter Of August
3rd, | desire to state that it was your
privilege this year TO address the citi.
zens at the odd Settlers Picnic on
the second of August and that you
were privileged to select your own sub
ject.
However, my reply to your address
on August second of this year, was
called forth largely because a year be-
fort at the annual picnic of the odd
Settlers you and l were asked to
discuss non-political topics. | was the
first speaker on that occasion and /
'~refrafned from any discussion Of
politics. You followed me and made
a red-hot political address in which you
openly attacked MI. R. P. Ervien, the
commissioner of public lands, and his
method of administration.
You also made an attack on the
then existent land laws and gave your
ideas in regard to legislation which
you said would be remedial.
This year you reiterated the gist
of your last years address and pointed
to your resolution in which you asked
for a complete report from the state
land commissioner in regard to the
affairs of his Office. You also spoke in
regard to your proposed legislation in
which you would limit the purchase of
state land to two sections for any one
person.
AS you well know, in my reply l.
dealt with the resolution which called
for the report from the state land Of
fee and the utter inability of your
two section clause to be the proper
remedy for the present defects in our
state land laws.
Il admitted that changes are neces-
sary in our state land laws, but de.
MED that your proposed legislation
with its two section clause would
bring the desired relief.
Now, Mr.. Smith, while you may
feel that l made a personal attack
upon you, l assure you that in my ad-
dress + called your name only in con
nection with the questions under dis
cussion and / did so theil because you
had cited to your resolution and your
proposed Legislation.
IN regard TO the affair at the Mans
ker school house last November, | shall
state that at that time ! replied to
your personal attacks on your oppon-
ent, Mr.. j. f. Branson, in which you
accuses him OF being one Of the
gang who desired to disfranchise the
voters of Union county.
"At that time you were given an OBJ
portunity Of discussing the question.
| agreed to give you two minutes to
my m and to grant you the privil-
eye of designating the length of the
discussion. You refused to discuss the
question.
TN regard to my designating you as
a sfence-rider, with reference to the
question, | shall state that
Captain 7. S. Snyder branded you as
a ~fence-rider. I did not call you a
fence-rider, but said that Captain Sny.
der had referred to you as a fence
because you had refrained from
discussing the prohibition question.
