CONFERENCE AIMS
TO COORDINATE
ALL WAR WORK

New Mexico has done well in car
rying its quota of the burden of
preparing for war, and of actually
making war. The peril of America
and her Allies is today so extreme
that merely to do we'll will not suf-
s6e. The German butchers are ham,
mering upon the defenses of Paris,
and threatening to begin a lombard
nent of England. Every human be-
ing interested in the preservation of
Liberty, and every agency or organ
ization striving to this end, must
double and redoublc efforts, until
ttere is being accomplished the ut
most of earthly effort
Better Organization Needed
To effect closer-knit union OF
dinate all our efforts so there shall
he unfsiling thoroughness in every
branch Of our work, it has been
decided to hold a state wide confer
enee OF all war workers. This CON
ference will be participated in by
representatives Of the Council Of Ma
fional Defense and OF various Fed
eral Departments and organizations
Al the close of these conferences it
is our belief that every war worker
of New Mexico will be vastly in
creased in efficiency, through his un-
derstanding of the whole plan OF
endeavor--which means that he will
understand not only his own work,
but also the work of his neighbor
and the close relation OF one to an
other,
These conferences will be held

HANGED AND TIE TO A
TREE THEN GIVEN COAT
OF TAR AND FEATHERS

San Jose, Calf, May 2-H. Stein
moltz, an Oakland tailor. was hanged
here early today until he became un-
concious, then he was tied to a tree
and later was taken away in an au-
tomobile by an organization known
as the Knights of Liberty.
Steinmoltz recovered consciousness
just before he was taken down: At
the same time coat of tar and fea-
theirs was applied to George Koetzer,
alleged pro-German of San Jose, who
later was chained to cannon in a
park here until released by the police
City Manager Thomas H Reed is
sued statement, in which he de-
plored the acts of the knights, all OF
whom wore masks.
According to the disclosures made
here today, band of fifty Knights
of Liberty of San Jose, who had
Koetzer in custody, met forty
Knights of Liberty from Oakland, who
had brought Steinmoltz from the
trans-bay city.
"Now for the Bay"
Both men were given "fair and inn
partial trials" according to the mem-
bers of the knights. A rope was
placed around Koester's neck in an
effort to obtain from him a confess
sion that he had made disloyal state
ments but he refused to speak. The
tar and feathers were applied then.
A rope was placed around Stein
MOTIFS neck and thrown over a tree
limb. He was drawn up twice and
then lost consciousness. Then he was
tied to a trunk of the tree. Later
he was taken away in an automobile.
The police here were attempting to
dicover what had become Of him.
A cry Now for the bay, boysw
from one of the Oakland knights, led
them to fear that Steinmoltz had
been thrown into San Francisco bay.

cOLORED DRAFTEE TOO
TALL TO FIT TRENCHES

Unless they dig trenches deeper, or
saw off about a yard of George Bell
sent by the draft via laboring Long
Island train to Camp Upton, there
is little chance of the negro recruit
ever getting into a uniform much
less being transported to Europe.
George. who was picked up as a
draft evader, is 7 feet IL inches tall
and weighs 35l pounds. He slumber-
ed last night on two groaning cots,
placed end to end. Officers are at
their wits ends as to what shall be
done with him. He is a regular white
elephant, they say, though a little
off color.-New York Tribune.

the National Army, few small
groups were gathered along the
tables learning English under the
tuition of some of their comrades,
one of whom had been district
supervisor in a neighboring state and
another a theological student. In
one of those groups one of the eXer-
cises for the evening consisted in
practicing the challenge when or
sentry duty. Each pupil of the
group (there were four of Italian and
two of Slavic BIRTH shouldered in
turn the long-handled stove shovel
and aimed it at the teacher, who
ran along the side of the room as il
to evade the guard. The pupil call
ed out in broken speech, Halt! Who

RHEUMATISM LEAVES
YOU FOREVER
Deep Seated Uric Acid Deposits Are
Dissolved and the Rheumatic
Poison Starts to Leave the System
Within TWenty-four Hours,

Geo. a. Gorgas, whom you all know,
is authorized to say to every rheu-
matte sufferer in this vicinity that il
two bottles of Allenrhu, the sure
cunquerer of rheumatism, does not
stop all agony, reduce swollen joints
and do away with even the slightest
twinge of rheumatic pain, he will
gladly return your money without
comment.
Allenrhu has been tried and tested
for years, and really marvellous re-
suits have been accomplished in the
most severe cases where the suffering
and agony was intense and piteous
and where the patient was helpless.
Allenrhu relieves at once. Immedi-
ately after you start to take it the
good work begins. 1t searches out
the uric acid deposits, dissolves the
secretions and drives rheumatic
poison out of the body through the
kidneys and bowels.
It's marvellous how quickly it acts,
Blessed relief often comes in two
days, and even in cases where the suf-
fering is most painful all traces dis
appear in a few days.
Mr.. James II. Allen, the discoverer
Of Allenrhu, who for many years suf-
fered the torments of acute rheuma-
tism, desires all sufferers to know
that he does not want a cent of any
ones money unless Allenrhu decisive
ly conquers this worst of all diseases
and he has instructed Geo. A. Gorgas
to guarantee it in every instance.

rather than over the real loss. The
Federal government and the states
spend millions of dollars in trying to
give information to the people in
rural districts about farming and
home making. Yet 100000, or 10
per cent. of our country folk can not
read or write a word. They can not
read a bulletin on agriculture, a
farm paper, a food pledge card, a
Liberty loan appeal. a newspaper.
the Constitution of the United States
or their Bibles, nor can they keep
personal or business accounts. An
uniformed democracy is not a
democracy. A people who can not
have means of access to the mediums
of public opinion and to the mes
sages of the President and the acts
of Congress can hardly be expected
to understand the full meaning of
this war, TO which they all must con-
tribute, in life or property or la
Dor.
1T would seem to be almost aXio-
matte that an illterate man can not
make a good soldier in modern war
fare. Util last April the Regular
Army would not enlist ilIiterates,
yet in the. first draft between 10000
and 10000 illiterates were brought
into the Army, and approximately as
many near illiterates.
. They can not sign their names.
They can not read their orders
posted daily on bulletin boards in
camp.
''They can not read their manual
of arms.
They can not read their letters
or write home.
They can not understand the sig
nails or follow the Signal Corps in
time of battle.
There are 100000 men who can
not read or write who may be draft
ed within our Army within the next
year or two. Training camps for
soldiers are not equipped for school
work. and the burden of teaching
men to read the simplest English
should no be cast upon the officers
or others in the camps. We should
give some education to all our men
before they enter the Army.
Teaching the English Tongue
There is even a larger problem
than this that challenges our atten-
ton, and that is the teaching of the
English tongue to millions of our
population. DR.. John H. Finley.
president of the University of the
State of New York, in q recent
speech, presented this picture which
he found in one of the cantonments:
How practical is the need of "A

BUSINESS NOT
AFRAID OF WAR
'Sit Tight" Is Advice of State
Credit Men Meeting
Here

Sit tight hold your nerve; don't
gossip and don't gamble and there
will be no panic in America as n
result of this war" was the mes
sage sent out to-day by the Credit
Men of Pennsylvania who held their
annual convention at the Board OF
Trade building. \ more compact,
intelligent, aggressive party of pa
triots never gathered in the inter
csts of national finance. No red
tape, no ceremonies marked this
concentrated session. From the mo-
ment that Carl X. Deem, president
of the local branch, made his speech
of welcome, every moment of the
morning session throbbed with
eager discussion on the vital topic
of credit which means so much to
American manufactures and every
industry.
1t was the substantial talk of A.
u. Sallee. of the firm of r. G.. Dunn
Il Co. Pittsburgh. which brought up
credit and the war and possible
panic. The discussion was thrown
wide open with pertinent questions
by J. NJ. McComb. presiding officer
and chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the association, and by j.
H. Tregoe, secretary of the National
Association. Keep business on a
conservative basis and do not in
dulGe in speculation" was the eau
lion from Mr.. Sallee after he had
demonstrated how panics are caused.
H. A. Black, of Alexander Brothers,
Phila delphia. who read paper, here
called attention to the harm of gos-
sip. He said that the panic of 1907
could easily have been avoided. Talk
creates fear. and fear panic. The
GoSsiper was characterized as a weak
man who had no confidence in him
self or any body else. The cause for
panic was summed up in the triple
arraignment :. speculation, imitation
and waste. These are the things
that the credit men of Pennsylvania
in their responsible positions pro-
nose to contend with and suppress
by presenting the facts to the boss
of the establishment. 1T is up to
u.s." said Mr.. Sallee, ito show that
this is no time to speculate. The
credit business is being put to a
severe test, but it will pull through
and be most important in saving the
country even from danger of
panic.
Nearly all the speakers gave much
praise TO the Federal Reserve Banks
which they declared are so efficient
that had they been established in
1907 no panic could have occurred.
We have the fullest confidence in
our federal financial machinery"
said Mr.. S. McComb." and at the
same time no doctor can save us
from suicide
Among the morning addresses was
one by G. L. Levi, Philadelphia. and
another by W. II. Graver. Hershey

and genial were the credit men that
the, Hershey representative had to
nod response TO the general cry this
will he a sweet talk" Mr.. Graver
confined himself to a - life de-
scription of just how tne credit
business is handled at the Hershey
