WIN THE WAR FIRST

Win the war! That is the first
business of America. II 10 the duty
of every man, woman and child to
sacrifice that may be needed to save
Civilization from the Hun. A good
doctrine to preach, il is a better n
to practice
In accepting the place as editor of
The State Record, it was with the
understanding that there would be
given to the work only such time
as was not needed to handle the
publicity for the New Mexico Coun-
ell of Defense. 1t was made plain
that no conflict Of interests would
be permitted.
The publicity work for the Coun-
ell of Defense has grown so that
it requires all my time, and it be-
comes necessary for me to give up
the place on The State Record. This
and devote all the time to war work
is accompanied by no regret. The
only feeling of that kind is that |
am able to do SO little. What ! am
able to give to the cause seems so
small by comparison with the sacri-
fees that others are making. The
tender of services for active mill
tary duty, made by telegraph more
than IL months ago, has not yet been
accepted by the authorities. Under
these circumstances, all that remains
10 to make the most Of opportunities
by rendering such auxiliary service
as may be possible.

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS

Col. D. c. Collier, acting for him
self and associates, who are the
principal owners of the New Mex
leo Central Railway early this week
secured a 80 year lease on the Lamy
property. opposite the New Museum
and at the north west corner of the
Plaza, with option to purchase the
same at a fixed price any time DUR
ing the life of the lease.
h new possessors Immediately
set about removing the balance of
the old ruins left by the fire of a
few months ago and will go right
ahead with the construction of a two
or three story modern fire proof
building.
This certainly proves the faith of
the N M. c. Railway owners in this
state and city and assures a good
and much needed improvement for
the Capital City.
The improvement and reconstruc.
tion of the N. M. c. Railway is also
progressing rapidly and the people
along and at both ends of the line
feel that they are justified in making
plans for the extension of their own
businesses on q scale never justified
before, as this is the first time the
cooperation of q first class railroad
has been a certainly in that develop
ment of this section of the Sunshine
State.

TRAITORS

The investigation relative to hid
den guns and ammunition which the
German. planned to use in a revolt
county has disclosed that they were
working in conjunction with the J..
W. W. and socialist organizations.
1t affords no surprise to any one
to learn of the connection of the
!. W. W. with this drabolical plot.
1t is, however a surprise to many
patriotic citizens, who are neighbord
and daily associates Of socialists, and
continually hear their profess to be
pacifists and abhorants of all forms
Of war, to learn that these vermin-
Gus creatures have been for years
planning, not merely war, but a war
Of murder and pillage against their
countrymen, their neighbors, and
such members of their own families
As happen to be loyal to their coun-
try and principles of human liberty.
The socialists have not only been
hypocrites in their pr~otestations
against war, while planning and pre-
pairing for war, but they have been
false in, their pretended beliefs and
have practiced deceit in p~romulgat.
ing doctrines which they neither be-
lieve nor support, as is amply prov
en- by the fact that their o~rganiza.
tions have been financed by and that
they are individually in the service
and many of them on the pay of the
kaiser's autocratic military combina.
ton. which in all essentials directly
conflicts with the SO called "prin.
ciples" they pretend to embrace.
Their connection with that conbin-
alton has been SO we'll established
by the many exposures Of the past
year and by their frequent refusals
to respond to the calls of the war
peace and world freedom that
feeble denials, feigned excuses,
and faithless protests to the con-
trary only brand them with addition
al mendacity and duplicity.

SUMMER

Those who are fortunate enough
to be able to take a vacation during
th- coming summer can find few
places which offer opportunities for
8 and pleasure that equal the
mountains of New Mexico.
The TOOL summer climate of high
er elevations in the Sunshine state
10 not surpassed any where in the
world-just far enough south to es.
cape the sharp changes of weather
which accompany summer storms
further north, and high and rugged
enough to possess all the scenic
beauty and grandure which is char
aeteristic of all the Rocky Mountain
ranges.
And this year the war in Europe
and the eonsested condition of east
err summer resorts makes our
mountains particularly attractive and
will probably bring many autoists to
enjoy them.

CAPTAIN Q~UESENBERRY

New Mexico pauses to salute
the spirit Of Captain Joseph
Quesenberry. whose body lies
in a soldiers grave upon one
of the battlefields of Europe.
1t was his honor to be one
of the first Americans to 60
into the front line trenches. 1t
was his honor to belong to the
first detachment to capture a
German machine gun and Ger
man prisoners. 1t was his hon
or to be commended for his
conduct by General Pershing,
commander-in-chie of the
American Expeditionary For
ces. Finally, it was his honor
to give his life in the struggle
for the freedom of the world.
By birth he belonged to Las
Cruces, but the high courage
of his heart makes his memory
the common property of New
Mexico, the United States and
the Allied Cause. There ought
to be no grieving for him whose
privilege it has been to up
hold the best traditions of his
state and his country, and in
SO doing, to die in action under
the Stars and Stripes.-War

at Lucy recently belonging to Bal

cattle were gored and trampled upon
in the cars and in their weakened
condition soon died after being I'M
loaded. Probably thirty head of the
shipment died in the cars or after
being unloaded. About 100 head were

IuleS Of the Friendly Forest
BY DAVID CORY

Weasel was one, and Daddy Fox was
another, and Mr.. Wicked Wolf was q
third, and Robber Hawk was just as
bad So there you are.
Yes. sir. Something happened. as
/ started to tell you before Old Man
Weasel and the other enemies of
Billy Bunny got their names printed
in the paper.
All of sudden, the window IN
Billy Bunny's room was lifted up
just a little bit, and then a little bit
farther and then q little bit more,
and afer that Robber Hawk poked
i his head inside, and then he squeezed
through and then he flew over and
sat on the foot of the little rabbits
bed. Oh, dear me! feel so sorry
for Billy Bunny when he wakes up.
Won't he be frightened? Well, /
| just guess he will. And so would
you and so would | and so would the
kaiser, especially if it were the
American Eagle instead Of Robber
| Hawk!
But the little rabbit didn't wake
UP just then, and Robber Hawk
didn't move. He just smiled and
smiled and every once in a while he'd
raise his wings gently and then fold
them around himself, and then open
his beak and shut one eye and wink
the other And after that he lifted
up one OF his feet and sharpened a
claw with little file he carried in
his waistcoat pocket.
Now while he was doing all this
the little Black Cricket, who lived in
the fireplace downstairs in the best
parlor and sang with the Victrola
! sometimes, happened to walk up
stairs, and when she looked into
Billy Bunny's room, of course the
first thing she saw was that wicked
Robber Hawk. But she didn't scream
or faint as some Lady Crickets might
| have, and most likely would have
done. No sireeman, Mr.. Suffragette!
She hoped downstairs very quietly
and went to the telephone and called
up the Policeman Dog at the Station
House. think the number was
20 o o, Come Quick!" And in the
next story Til tell you what the
Policeman's Club did, that is if the
little cricket doesn't forget to take
! the wooden latch off the front door.

pers here.
"a new page in Anglo American
history is being turned" says The

Home, Sweet Home, that's the place
for me,
Safe in the Old Brier Patch,
This is my home, no more will /
roam,
For I've buttoned the door with
the latch.
This is the song the victrola sang
when Billy Bunny and Uncle Lucky
reached the Old Brier Patch, as j
told you in the story before this.
And guess that Victrola knew
what it was talking about, for Mr..
Bunny got up and put the latch on
the front door and Mrs. Bunny put
the latch on the back door, and If
there had been any more doors Billy
Bun1y would have seen to them
Well, after a while it was time to
