not take long to enter Germany

Berlin. You can guess the fate

lieutenant with the first New Mexico
regiment at Columbus. Later he was
transferred to the regular army and
while on duty at Fort Bliss was strick-

service.
The Antonio Luna memorial will
add greatly to the attractiveness OF
the institute buildings. 1t is to be large
enough to serve as a gymnasium, will

airy telegram was today sent by the

The telegram follows:
I'm further reference TO the subject
of Senator La Follette's St Paul ad-

account of the address in the st. Paul

the senator had admitted the exist

degree responsible for the error in
