 UNIQUE WAR RECORD

SANTA FEE, x. M.-As part of its plan for the preservation of the record of New Mexicans in the world war, the state bureau of historical service is appointing representatives in each of the twenty-eight coun- ties of the state who were inducted or who enlisted in the various branches of military service.
 The bureau has an outline map of New Mexico and is placing a gold star in each county for every man who died in the service. When this record is completed it will be placed in the state museum at Santa Fe.

COWBOYS CELEBRATE
 DAWN OF WORLD PEACE

ROOSEVELT, Utah.-What was said to have been the nearest ap- proach to the genuine, old-time wild West celebrations occurred here up- on the occasion of the signing of the armistice terms by Germany. This town, named after the former president who is said to have taken part in wild-West demonstrations during his cowboy days, turned loose" when the news arrived and every revolver, shotgun and rifle in the community was used to make noise.
 The town was Literally "shot-up" by several dozens O cowboys who came in from neighboring ranches, the riders riding through the main street at break-neck pace, shooting their revolvers as they rode. No casualties resulted, nor was any damage done to property The cele- bration stopped only when the par ticipants and ammunition were err hausted.

 CARRY SUPPLIES ACROSS SWAMPS

DuNkIRk, France-Thirteen tons of food was carried by the British
 Royal Air Force and the Belgian Air Forces to several divisions of the Belgian army which had ad- vanced beyond the Houthulst Forest in Belgium, early in the Allied off, fensive in the Belgian sector, and sustained those troops during the period in which they were cut off from supplies owing to impossible roads. This is believed to be the largest scale in which supplies were ever delivered to troops by airplane.
 Continuous rain, shell fire and artillery fire had ground the roads out of existence. They were trans formed into channels of deep mud. By evening the general in command of the Belgian forces reported that supplies of food had been exhausted. Would it be possible, he inquired, to send food by airplane?
 The answer was that it would and the task was assigned to one of the Belgian Air Forces and to the Fifth Group of the British Royal Air Force. Their job was to deposit army rations at point to which nothing but bird or an airplane could penetrate.
 It has been done before, of course the garrison of Kut received SUD- plies by air, and ammunition and the like have been dropped at various places. But it had never been at tempted on such a scale.
 The cases of rations were broken up into appropriate parcels and these were packed in sacks of earth to cushion them for the fall; while upon the front the hungry divisions prepared the dumping grounds and marked them with a large white cross. -. Some eighty machines shared the work between them, including squadron of the Fifth Groups two seaters. They lifted their loads easily. and one by one they dipped to the front-it was the front, too and close to the line-and dropped them overheard to the cheering re- ception committees below and re- turned. Only one machine, attacked by German machine-gun from the ground-it was as close to the front as that-had to land; and by II a. m.. the general reported that all his units had been supplied.

THE GREATEST MOTHER

Do not imagine that because the great armies of the world are rest ing on their arms that the need for Red Cross work has ceased.
 On the contrary, now as never even in the bitterest days of fight ing, those. ministering angels of mercy are needed.
 The wounded have not ceased to suffer. The starving have not ceas- ed to hunger. The weak have still the need of the strong supporting arm of the Greatest Mother in the World"
 The Red Cross carries into the field not only the ministrations of material remedies for material needs. but what is better and greater and of more lasting benefit the spiritual medicine that vivifies the
 
 with faith and joy and peace.
 The Red Cross is needed not only for the times of war but for the times of peace, and in these days of the armistice even more than in either peace or war.
 The Red Cross is neutral. It takes no sides in war-neither our side nor the other fellows. It works for our enemy as well as for our selves. And when our enemy lies vanquished and bleeding at our feet, the tear-dimmed eyes of the Great est Mother are as full ot sympathy and love for him as they were for us
 A great people, fighting a great battle, for great cause and having won a great victory, should have greater magnamity and compassion for the fallen foe than to withdraw their support of that greatest agency for relief-the American Red Cross.
 The people of Nenana are asked to renew their subscriptions to this noble cause There should be no delay, no hesitancy. no doubts. It is their duty to themselves, to their children and to their children's children and all that are to come in the many generations that are to follow, that they shall support the Red Cross.
 In times of peace it conducts it's plans for the relief of suffering with the business acumen and energy of the Steel Trust or the Beef Trust. It has monopoly of the work of humanitarianis.n It goes to the rescue of the famine stricken of India; it rushes ta the rescue of the, flood victims in farther China and in nearer Toledo; it sends it's servitors and it's service wherever the calamities of earth overtake men, whether these men be Chris tian, pagan, or idolaters. The Red Cross is enlisted in the service of Mankind not only for the war, but for all time.
 You know not what day it may bring to you the succer. the help that may be the giving of you back to life, to joy. to happiness; so withhold not the dollars that will make it's mission permanent.

the talrbankS farmers in exchange for their products. It is the policy of the Commission to encourage home industry,and for several seasons past those in charge of the railroad work have contracted for potatoes and other vegetables grown by Fairbanks farmers. The Commission has created market for products pre- viously grown very considerably in
 excess of local demands and has
 furnished the farmers with an in-
 centive to strive for the higher cultivation of their farms. The Commission has helped materially to put the farming industry of Interior Alaska on a solid commercial foot ing.
 It is not. true that "Nenana can't raise enough potatoes to feed itself" The fact of the matter is that the people of Nenana have been too much taken up with town and rail- road building to devote much of their time to the development of farms; but sufficient has been done in that direction to demonstrate that the soil in and about Nenana is cap able of growing bountiful crops, with the expenditude of very little effort.
 Scores of families in Nenana have their cellars we'll stocked with vege- tables this winter-enough for their own needs and the needs of their neighbors-and the quality of the vegetables is equal to that of any grown elsewhere in Interior Alaska. In fact, we have yet to learn of another town, in Alaska or out of it, which has made so good a show ing in so brief time, and the show ing of Nenana is especially remark able in view of the fact that our farming was done "after hours" and on holidays.
 All of which goes to prove that the garden spots of Interior Alaska are not confined to any particular region. Excellent growing soil is to be found throughout the length and breadth of the great Panama val ley, enough of it to provide thous- ands of farmers with ample tracts. and to supply the demands of Alaska's future population, however great it may become.
 The Nenana School district, em- bracing an area of forty square miles. includes some of the best soil in the valley, and all of it is sufficiently close to the government railroad to insure quick route to market. The boundaries of the dis trict were determined after care ful consideration of the possibilities of future development and in the firm belief that the entire district, at no very distant date, would be under cultivation. insuring- ample revenue for future educational re- quirements.
 The opportunity is here for those who desire to engage in farming and it is altogether reasonable to believe that our government can and will be induced to extend aid to as means of hasten ing the settlement and development of Alaska's agricultural lands.

ITALIAN WOMEN
 ARE HOPEFUL OF
 GREATER RIGHTS

E of the United States government is on a six weeks tour of this coun- try to survey social, educational and political conditions relating to women and report to the government ]! of Italy. declares that "Italy's lib- erated womanhood is preparing to take big part in the rebuilding of the devastated northern provinces. It is the dawn of new day." she said, ''in the development of our nation"
 Grateful for the part the United States has taken in the war, Coun- tess Loschi made public at the re- quest of former premier of Italy, Luigi Luzzati, the latter's overseas toast to America and to Americans delivered to her just before she sailed. It follows:
 Born in a divine heart throb.
 They grow greater now in the
 throb of the human heart.
 Born to deliver themselves from
 the multifarious religious tyran-
 nies of Europe,
 Today they rise to save Europe
 from military tyranny.
 At the dawn of the marvellous life
 shines Gods liberty, as a crown
 of sacrifice and redemption.
 At midday they harvest, as an
 mortal reward, the deliverance
 of oppressed nationas."
 The countess is young woman, dresses simply and speaks, fluently. English as we'll as French and Ita- Han. She is writer on sociological subjects, a teacher of French litera- ture in collegt in Rome and, in addition, is on the staff of tech nical school An ardent suffragist and one of five women, representa- tives of the Italian Feminine Patri- otic League, appointed to aid the government authorities in devising a plan for the readjustment of labor after the war, the Countess Loschi says, the future is bright with promise for the women of Italy, more than 100000 of whom are at work on farms and in munition plants.
 Until the war started, she said, the status of women in Italy was one of complete eclipse by man. She was not allowed to handle her own money, for instance, without the consent of her husband. Women. as such, had no standing in court except as the chattel of a husband or father.
 New laws, said the countess, were being drafted which would elevate Italian womanhood to plane as high as that enjoyed by the women of any other country. The time was coming, she felt sure, when Italy would have women legislators and when they would be allowed to practice in the law courts. The in consistency of the present time, she said, was shown in the case of Miss Iherese Labrigola, Italy's first wo- man lawyer and foremost suffragist, who although competent to teach to youths in law university was barred from practic- ing in the courts.
 The changed attitude toward wo- men in Italy, the countess attributed in part to the great response made by her sex to the appeals of the government for war loans. During the recent Fourth loan, she said, the women of Milan alone bought more than l2,000,0O0 lire worth of bonds and other cities did as well. The government urged the women to buy independently of their hus- bands and, thus, willingly or not, broke one of Italy's oldest traditions.

banez's Splendid Story of Saguntum

the imagination sweeps to its ultimate
and final grandeur. Hannibal is before
the walls of Saguntum. The city is starv-
ing. The populace is in rags. Act@on
has just returned from Rome, which will
give no help. The morale of men and
dogs is gone. The omens point to the
hordes of Hannibal. The serpents are
leaving the Temple of Hercules. Sagun-
tum after eight months is Port Arthur
locked in Black Hole of Calcutta.
The Last Night is picture built Of
gaunt images and phrases that are fine
limned silhouettes. And it is then that
the soul of S6nnica rises to its supreme
apotheosis, and the hedonist undertakes
the supreme sacrifice
Hannibal has demanded the city as loot.
He will remove all the inhabitants safely.
S6nnica's answer is bonfire of all the
treasures of the city. She would have
burned up hell if Hannibal had asked
for it. The Senators have stabbed them
selves on the steps of the Temple of Aph-
rodite. At her urging men and women
east themselves into the flames with their
lares and penates. Hannibal shall eat
ashes.
Sonnica had loved Actson, and Act@on
had taken d, slave for mistress. She would
revenge herself on Life itself, and Han
nibal incidentally.
"She was magnificent with her auburn
hair loosened in her excitement, her tunic
rent by struggling through the multitude,
her eyes flashing with the expression OF
a Fury who found an aerid satisfaction
in destruction"
She chose to die fghting-this reversed
Jeanne dare. She led rabble against
the thousands of Hannibal, and died with
her head cleft by Carthaginian sword.
So passed Sonnica, the courtesan-Val
kyrie of an ancient Liese. And upon the
ruins stands Hannibal with cfenched fist
pointed toward Rome.
