DEALERS ADOPT
CASH PAYMENTS
New Ruling Will Go Into Eff
feet July 1; No Coal
Arrives This Week

Because of the demand of rail-
roads for cash payments of all
freight after July l. instead of semi
monthly settlements, local coal
dealers have notified consumers that
it is necessary to put their business
on strictly cash basis starting
July 1.
A short time ago dealers notified
| their trade that it would be neces-
sary to do business on a cash basis
Although a majority of the consum-
ers followed out the request of deal
ers, there were some who continued
to conduct their business as they
had in the past.
The unprecedent business condi-
tions brought about by the shortage
of coal, caused fuel dealers to put
many new rulings into force in the
last year. These new methods have
not been strict, but purely along
lines which are being followed out
by dealers all over the country.
Local dealers are inclined to be
pessimistic over the outlook for coal
during the summer. During the
month of June. only seven ship
ments of coal have arrived while
dealers should have received about
forty cars. Orders which have not
yet been touched are awaiting their
turn to be fiIlsd at the central dis
trioution office.
The promised amount of fuel was
shipped during April and these
orders were filled according to the
ruling of the Federal Fuel Admin
istration. Last month only half
the quota was shipped. while this
month the situation becomes worse

AMERICAN MACHINE GUNNERS
WIPE OUT ENTIRE BATTALION

With the American Army on the
Aisne-Marne Front, August G.-Amer-
lean machine gunners, protecting n
location on the Vesle, west of Fismes.
wiped our an entire battalion of Ger
man infantrymen and machine gun,
ners today. The Germans at the time
were getting into position to attack
a group Of American bridge builders,
who were approaching the location.
Some bridge material had been
moved near the south bank of the
Vesle, and the Germans, discovering
it, had sent battalion to a hill posi-
ton to prevent the Americans carry
ing out their plan. A detachment of
crack American machine gunners had
taken an elevated position command
ing the location and opened fire when
the Germans appeared.
Observers reported that they did not
see single German get away from
the leaden hail, and according to last
accounts, not even enemy stretcher-
bearers approached the scene. The
Germans replied so feebly with their
fire that there were no American cas-
ualities.

RED CROSS NOW AND WHAT
IT WAS OVER A YEAR AGA

A year ago, before Uncle Sam had
rolled up his sleeves and entered the
fray, the Red Cross work was mere
fad. Women languidly or Indifferent.
ly piled their needles when the mood
or inclination seized them, and the
work some of them turned out indi.
Gated the languidness or indifference
with which IL had been accomplished
What a contrast today! The Red
Cross has become u real factor in the
war for it is one of the most gigan-
tic manufacturing establishments in
the world. Today our workers are
not only trying to do the work well
enough to pass inspection but are
shipping in their goods beautifully
made, well pressed, securely tied, the
proper number of articles to each bun
die, in regulation boxes, correct in
voices and properly addressed.
Each worker who proudly wears her
Red Cross pin, earned through 72
hours work, thrills with the conscious
ness of patriotic duty well done,
and aside from the fact that she il
doing a noble work in helping those
who are sacrificing their all for us, it
has perhaps been the best education
that the American woman has ever
had along domestic lines.
No longer need the lack OF small
flags delay the shipment of comfort
kits. The Red Cross must provide
hundreds of thousands of them 50 each
chapter is urged to make all speed in
order to meet the emergency.
As the contents of the kits are
so well known it is unnecessary to
give a complete list. Two things must
not be forgotten. Be sure to include
the very useful House Wife and But
ton Bag and to exclude anything per-
ishable such as candy, etc.
Sweethearts, mothers, and sisters
are constantly asking if individual
kits or various knitted articles may
be sent direct to some loved one. To
all such the Red Cross urges that
those things be sent through the local
chapter.
In conclusion let me quote from
Edwin II. Browns article "Heed your
Commander"
Each individual Red Cross worker
has some special task assigned to him
or her. 1t may be small and some-
times the worker will think he or she
knows more than any one else about
the big work, but my experience with
both the army and Red Cross has been,
that the people at the top know more
than could possibly know about
conditions and the best thing to do
is to follow instructions and orders"
"No matter how small and insignif-
cant may seem the task you are do.
ing, it is one cog in the whole ma
chine and if each cog does not work
right, the machinery is not as it
should be, so somewhere the Red
Cross has failed.

JAPAN READY TO BATTLE
FOR ALLIES IN RUSSIA

Toxic, Japan, August 6.-Premier
Count Terauchi, talking of allied action
in Siberia, said Japan would take fur
ther military measures in case the
position of the CZecho-Slovaks de-
manded it. The premier indicated
that if the chaotic situation in Siberia
continued, Japan might find it neces-
sary to adopt suitable military meas
ures to combat the Austro-German
menace in the Far East.
Count Terauchi stated that the ac-
tion had been taken in perfect accord
with the allies. If it should be neces-
sary for the Allies to dispatch addi-
tional troops and arms the country
must be prepared to meet the emer-
gency.
The Japanese American negotia-
tons had been made the basis of
wrangling over domestic politics, with
charges and counter charges and sem
sational demands for the resignation
of the cabinet and the custmary cam
paign of recriminations. Consequent
ly the government had recently closed
down tightly on the newspapers which
were rigidly suppressed II they at
tempted to discuss the negotiations,
II is understood that the Seiyukai ma
jority party in the house is willing
to adopt a wait-and-see policy. Con-
sequently the Kensei Kai minority,
which had hoped to effect an opposi-
tion combination is powerless for the
present
There seems every reason to be-
lieve the tenseness of the situation has
been relieved and that the plans for
the protection of the Czecho-Slovaks
and of the allied interests in German
and Austrian influence in Siberia, com
pleted long time ago, will be carried
out without excitement.
As far as Japan is concerned, every
detail for putting the plan into execu-
tion already has been arranged.

FIENDISH MURDER
AT LAS VEGAS

East Las Vegas, N. NJ. Aug. s.
One of the most brutal murders in
local history was brought to light
here late last night when five native
boys confessed to the killing of a
comrade, Isacias Trujillo, at Watrous
on late Wednesday night. Trujillo
was invited to attend dance with
the other boyA When on the road he
was told that there was no dance and
one Of the boys picked a quarrel with
him. Trujillo was hit on the head
with a rock and then shot with %
calibre pistol by Manuel Gonzales.
He started to run, but was oyertaken.
Gonzales shot him again and the boys
then beat and kicked him until he
died. The boy was hid in pile of
rocks and covered with brush. Two
of the boys were arrested when Tru-
jillo did not return, but were released
after severe questioning by the au-
thorities. They were later seen re-
moving the body and again taken into
custody, the other three giving them
selves up. The only reason is that
the boys did not like Trujillo.

ES CONTINUE TO
|NOvAMCE AND HOLD
''CA|NS ALL ALONG LINE

1.-THE war situation of Wednesday is
summarized by the Associated Press as
follows:
The allied armies have obtained fur.
ther successes over the Germans in
fighting in the Soissons- Rheims sector
and to the north in the Montdidier re-
gion and still further north in Flan-
ders between the Lave and Clarence
rivers.
East Of the town of Braisne on the
Vesle river, midway between scissors
and Rheims, American and French, af-
ter the stffffest kind of fighting, have
crossed the river and held all the po-
sitions. The French north of Rheims
have penetrated more than 400 yards
in the railroad triangle beginning at
Rheims and running northeastward to-
ward Rethel and northwestward to Lao
All positions previously gained in the
entire Rheims-Soissons salient have
been held, Notwithstanding the counter
attacks. Near where the Vesle en-
ters the Aisne, east of Scissors, the
French have overcome the resistance
of the enemy and taken the village
Of Ciery- -Salsogne.
In the Montdidier sector, the French
south and southwest of the town, have
advanced their line on this important
sector, which represents the junction
point of the armies of TIE German
Crown Prince Rupprecht Of Bavaria.
II remained for the British to de-
liver the hardest blow against the
Germans Wednesday. Following up a
previous advance in the Lys sector,
northwest of La Bassee, they pushed
their line over front of nearly five
miles to depth Of n thousand yards
between the Lave and Clarence rivers
The details of this advance are not
yet in hand, but the maneuver doubt
less will go long ways toward les
sening the point of the nasty salient
that has stood as menace for months
to the British line north and south.

W. s. STAMPS ARE BEING
BOUGHT BY OLD AND YOUNG

East Las Vegas, N. M, Aug. T.
"One influence that is holding back
purchases of War Savings Stamps, not
only in New Mexico but throughout
the nation" said Director Hallett RAY
nolds, of the New Mexico War Saw
ings Committee, today, "is the errone-
Gus impression that the war savings
stamp was devised as "a medium of
saving and aid to the government by
children. 1t is true that the children
have been invited TO become active
buyers of Thrift and War Stamps and
their response has been one of the
finest things in the history of the ma.
ton"
But the War Savings Stamp was
not intended exclusively for children
and small savers. II was designed
first as u constant aid to the govern
ment in financing this war; and second,
as an incentive TO thrift on the part
OF every man, woman and child in the
United States"
I'VE find many people who think
that War Savings Stamps are in
tended only for those who cannot buy
a Liberty Bond. OF course the error
is clear when we stop to consider that
the millions derived from War Saw
ings Stamps 20 into the same pot
with the billions that are derived from
Liberty Bonds. The War Savings
Stamp is a Liberty Bond of small de-
nomination, and at a somewhat better
interest rate. The Liberty Bonds of
large denomination are offered at GER
tain specified dates. The War Saw
ings Stamps, or Baby Liberty Bond,
is offered at all times. That is the
only difference"
when we get out of our minds the
idea that War Savings Stamps are
things to be bought for our babies,
and when we begin to buy them sys-
tematically for ourselves, we will be
carrying out the real idea of our gov
ernment in insttuting this system,
which is to encourage in the rich as
well as the poor the habit of thrift
as direct aid to conserving cash, la
Dor and materials for the winning of
this war"

FRENCH GENERAL IS
PROUD OF AMERICAN
FIGHTERS IN FRANCE

With the French Army in France,
Aug. 7.-General Mangin, who was in
direct command of the allied forces in
the drive against the German right
flank south of scissors, has issued the
following order of the day, thanking
the American troops for their brilliant
participation in the battle which caus-
ed the German retreat between the
Marne and the Aisne.
Officers, non. commissioned officers
and soldiers of the Third American
Army Corps:
Shoulder to shoulder with your
French comrades, you threw yourselves
into the counter offensive begun July
IL. You ran to it like going to feast.
Your magnificent dash upset and sur
prised the enemy and your indomtable
tenacity stopped counter attacks by his
fresh divisions. You have shown your
selves to be worthy sons of your great
country and have gained the admira-
tion of your brothers in arms.
"Ninety-one cannon, 1900 prisoners,
immense booty and ten kilometers of
reconquered territory are your share
OF the trophies Of this victory. BE
sides this, you have acquired feeling
of your superiority over the barbarian
enemy against whom the children of
liberty are fighting. To attack him
is to vanquish him.
American comrades, am grateful
to you for the blood you generously
spilled on the soil of my country. /
am proud of having commanded you
during such splendid days and to have
fought with you for the delverance of
the world"
