most popular students of the Uniyer-
sity of New Mexico, died after n
weeks illness at local hospital at 6

Lee was in the university here last
year and was widely known among
the students. He was a member of
the ri Kappa Alpha and was an acad-
emic student. He was not a member
of the S. A. r.. c. but had thought
some of becoming a student-soldier.

"A Hero"

One isn't just hero who has saved a
persons life,
Or has rescued lives of hundreds on
a train;
For one can be a hero in the little
things of life,
Such as hanging to your temper and
your aim.
1t may be that you are angry with
sister or mamma,
Or perhaps you're feeling ready to
give up;
If you are, just hold on tighter to the
rope and whistle,
All, you will find that there is victory
in your cup.

ANNOUNCEMENT

The practice of calling upon telephone operators
for information as to the time of day has grown to
the point of interfering with the efficiency Of tel
ephone service.
For such information 100000 calls are made
daily in New England, the bulk of such calls COM
ing naturally at times when it is most difficult to
handle them.
Service efficiency now demands that the work of
the operating force should be relieved Of unneces
sary burdens, and that energies be directed toward
the furnishing of effective telephone SERVICE and to
that alone.
Prompted by these considerations the practice
of giving information as to the time of day will
be discontinued beginning June g. 1918

HOLD FAST!"

TT OLD FAST" is Premier Lloyd
IN Georges declaration to Brit
aims In the beginning of the new
year of war. And Hold Fast" is
the slogan of millions of American
citizens who will not quit. until the
Hun has been crushed for all time.
AS suggested in a recent review of
the war causes, there is absolutely
no doubt that commercial enslave-
ment Of the world is the desire and
purpose of Germany, that If she won
the war the whole world will be
clamped in the iron wise of slavery.
There is but one way to meet in
a race of people such inborn, brutal
lust for spoils, booty and power. It
can be permanently cured only by
dismemberment of the nation in the
very soul and marrow guilty Of it.
War must never again be the ma
tional industry of any country. Some
one has suggested that Germany is
nothing more than a huge state
founded on force, cemented by fear
and financed on speculative gains to
be derived from the great gamble
of war. Once for all must we set
tie the right of nations to work out
their own destiny without fear of
some great national brute interfer-
ing at every point.
Ex-President Taft has given much
thought to the proposed League of
Nations to Enforce Peace and the
more we see of this war and its ter
rible consequences the more we are
impressed with the importance of
some such international agreement
as will secure hereafter the happi-
ness and prosperity and peace of all
nations.

The Ardor of Hearst
. New York Evening Post ]

When the Hearst papers increased
their price 100 per cent, some won
dered what they would do when a
public utility corporation increased
its price ten per cent. But little
did these innocent persons under
stand Hearsts noble ardor in be-
half of the public. That anybody
except himself should charge 1t
moro is necessarily intolerable to
him. Accordingly, he opens up on
the "rascally'' and "scoundrelly' cor
pora tions which make the same plea
that his newspapers did-namely,
that higher wages and increased
cost of materials compel an advance
in the price of the commodity sold.
The particular occasion is the finding
of Mr.. Hughes, as referee. that the
rates fixed by law for gas in parts
of Brooklyn must be allowed to raise
the price. Mr.. Hughes established
his reputation as an expert in the
production-cost of gas. and also as
a champion of the public interests,
when he was counsel to the legisla-
tive committee which investigated
the gas business in New York years
age: but that does not prevent the
Hearst papers from stigmatizing him
as "a 100 per cent. reactionary." F"
Into the merits of the Brooklyn gas
controversy we cannot now go, but
the splendid rage of the Hearst news
papers in the matter of price-rais-
ing ought to begin somewhere near
home.

PARKING DOWNTOWN

"HE parking of automobiles in
Market street has become a
public nuisance. This is not so
much the fault of those who operate
cars as it is of those who should
regulate traffic in the congested dis
tricts. The city has reached the
place where something must be done
to relieve the situation. Public
parking places may be provided
where cars can be left under police
protection or streets set apart where
cars could be parked temporarily
while their owners are transacting
business or are attending the the
aters or moving picture shows.
1t may be that the municipality
will have to purchase a block of
houses in some back street. remove
the buildings and provide a plot for
public parking purposes, or the erec-
ton of garages where cars may be
stored over short periods for a norni-
nal sum may provide the necessary
room. But, at all events, the situa.
ton demands immediate attention.

Another Step ToWard
UniDerSQL TRAINING
From the Boston Transcript

I where they will receive at one and
nical training, now more necessary
than ever before, as well as a pre-
liminary military training which
will stand them in good stead when
it comes their time to enter the
service of the nation. In the per-
formance of this Mediate task the
National Council of Defense, the War
Department and the American Coun-
Gil of Education are cooperating.
In the next month every 1918
high school graduate in the land will
receive a letter from the Wdr De-
partment, telling him why his coun-
try wishes and expects him to go to
college If 1t is possible for him to
do so. He will be told that in col
lege he will be enrolled as a MEM
Der of the Army, but not expected to
be called until he becomes of age,
unless the draft age has in the
meantime been lowered; that he
will be given military training un-
der the direction of Army officers,
possibly of officers returned from
the war zone; that he will be able
at the same time to prepare himself
to take part in the great reconstruc-
ton work which will make up the
aftermath. The hope will be held
out to him that by responding to
that appeal he can best dc his duty
by himself and by his country. Here
is another step toward universal
training.-From the Boston Tran
script.

CheSter'S Housing Problem
(From the Chester Times)


Should the government officials
give their sanction to the building
operations planned for Chester.
great step will be taken toward solv-
ing the housing problem. There ex-
lists a keen race between the con-
struction and enlargement of bust
ness plants in this city, and the
building of homes for the employees.
The thousand houses included by the
new development from the P. NJ. C.
to the city line; the six hundred
houses in the Second and Fifth
wards between Morton avenue and
Ninth street; and the four hundred
homes being built by the William G.
Price Company, should make a con-
siderable difference to the stress of
finding lodgment within this mu-
nicipality. We have as yet by no
means struck the balance as be-
tween our industrial plants and civic
homesteads; but construction is be-
ing hurried in view of present and
future needs. The Sun Shipbuilding
Company is setting a laudable ex-
ample in making provisions for the
lodgment of ten thousand workers
who will trek this way as the new
wharfs and boiler shops and other
business extensions begin to show
their shell on the landscape.
The builders have struck on the
right track. Rooming can only be
at best a temporary and utterly in
adequate expedient. The increase
of trolley facilities in and out of
town might give some relief, but it
| fails to meet the emergency and is
| itself but a questionable advantage.
| The experiments in this direction
reckoned in their summation are a
costly mode of enterprise in that
they deprive the city itself of thou
sands of families which might other
wise be residential here. and spend
| their wages mostly within the salient
where the money is earned. Hous-
ing the workers in decent fashion
will tend to make them better sat-
isfied, and help to arrest the shifty
migration of employees who are con-
stantly tempted by better housing
conditions to move elsewhere. This
means a vast saving to the big COM
\ panies now engaged in scheming
house accomm odation for their
workmen. In a wider circle still, il
means increased prosperity through
out all business sections of the city
itself. Let the good work continue
until we have again found our poise
The work should be rushed as much
as possible ere the winter sets in
The more workmen we can lodge
between now and the time snow
again flies, the better it will be al
around.

wolves the building of schools and
lmany other auxiliaries necessary tc

Hindenburg and His Dupes

N. A. Reviews War Weekly
Hindenburg has been resurrected
from the dead again. He is risen.
Not only that. he is strong enough
to sit up and take notice and even
to talk. The Kaiser's Boswell, Ros
ner, found him. He was at the Hun

emily, cheerfully loquacious, consid-
ering how recently he was a corpse
The fighting is proceeding
again, said the recent remains.
'and it is to be hoped that those at
home will have confidence. But they
have not yet learned to wait"
Considering that they have been
waiting four years for that triumphal
entry into Paris which was all ar
| ranged for September, 1914, with
the dinner there which the Kaiser
had ordered, the Hun spiked helmet
wherewith to crown the Eiffel Tower
picked out, the Hun mayor and sub
ordinates in the government of the
conquered French capital all desig-
nated-considering that the SHOWS
of four winters and the suns of four
summers have projected themselves
into the interval between the date
fixed for that program and the pres
ent moment, 1t does seem a little like
overdrawing the thing to say that
! those at home" have not yet learned
to wait. Especially as Hindenburg
himself, in one of his casual emerg-
ences from the grave, last winter
stilled the unreasonable impatience
of "those at home"swith the assur-
ance that I'VE shall be in Paris by
April 1st." And here 1t is four
months past April 1st and I'VE" are
approaching Paris by travelling in
the opposite direction! Surely If
"those at home" do not know how
to wait 1t is not for lack of practice.

THE GULF STREAM

There's brown stream that is flow-
ing through the blue Atlantic
waters,
There's a warm stream that is
crossing from the new world
to the old,
And the way of it is silent in a
broad, majestic passage.
And it's mighty course is hidden
from the eyes that would be-
hold.
Deep the springs are that have fed
it, from the centuries up
yelling,
From the pioneers who labored
that the nation should be
free,
From the prophets and the martyrs
from the soldiers and the
mothers,
And the host of them that per-
ished for the sake of liberty
So the brown stream cleaves the
ocean to effect a transforma-
ton,
That the world shall be delivered
from the icy bonds of death
And within the stricken countries
joy shall be again upspring-
ing,
And the lands once more shall
blossom in the fervor of its
breath.

And white as the snowflake the

And we knew then the anguish of
Lir's banished daughters.
Alone in our ship in the trough of

The wind shrieked a gale with the
howl of a war-cry,
And dark in the sea-gulf shadow
swept past;
The voice of the watch was the
sound of a far cry,
And the boom of our gun we'll
nigh lost in the blast
But the submarine sank, and we

Behind the white house on the

Where the sunshine is bright on the
vine of the arbor,
And the clouds in the sunset lie
huddled and still.
