Money Making

The discovery has been made BY scores OF
rich men that money making yields a poor
brand of happiness as compared with UNI
selfish service for others. Washington, says
an exchange, is today full of men who for
the first time are really enjoying life. They
are experiencing a new Joy and ecstasy and
enthusiasm. The business giants who have
voluntarily enrolled in the service of the
nation are working with greater energy, in
dustry and driving power than they ever
worked before. The inspiration derived from
the unselfish spirit actuating them is some
thing higher and more compelling than
strictly business motives ever generated.

Can The Men Keep Up3

Can the Red Cross women of Santa Fe
do more work than the men of Santa Fe
can pay for?
That is the question which Santa Fe men
will have to a chance to answer this week.
The women have speeded up the output
of Red Cross necessaries until they are run
ming in debt for material. A devoted band
of them toll almost daily to prepare tho
supplies SO greatly needed at the front. 1t
wouldn't look particularly well to have their
labors stop, not on failure of energy, but
on account Of failure of the wherewithal.
From what we know Of the spirit of Santa
Fe we should guess it would need only a
to the men of this city to come to the
rescue. 1t distinctly wouldn't look well to
have it said that Santa Fe's Red CROSS
achievements were held back by the tight
wadism, the painless patriotism, of her citi-
zens.
The time is here. American boys are
being torn by shrapnei and shell splinters;
Santa Fe boys will soon need the quick and
efficient treatment which calls for the sup
plies Santa Fe women are furnishing. Pring

The war is costing a billion dollars al
month.
II will cost at least that much for each
year The war lasts.
Much, OF It comes from taxation.
1t is therefore as plain as day that as
long as the war lasts the more must each
OF lis dig into our pockets to pay taxes.
1t can be seen that aside from the motives
of humanity there Is potent reason why we
should endeayor to end the war IN the
shortest time.
We can do that by investing in war saw
ings stamps, getting in return not only a
liberal interest but avoiding additional
taxes.
We can all appreciate the fact that an
early conclusion OF the war will save lives
and prevent misery and suffering. That
reason alone win prompt millions Of Ameri-
cans to respond to the war savings stamp
appeal.
The financial advantages are merely an
added inducement-but a tempting one at
that.

Heroes Of War

Telling of his experience in a French hos
pital, Coningsby-Dawson lieutenant in the
Canadian field artillery, pays high tribute to
the courage and self-forgetfulness of the
Wounded men He writes in Good House
keeping:
Men forget their own infirmities in their
endeavor to help each other. Before the
war we had a phrase which has taken on a
new meaning now we used to talk about
lending a hand Today we lend not only
hands, but arms and eyes and legs. The
wonderful comradeship learned in the
trenches has taught men to lend their bodies
to each other-out of two manned bodies to
make up one that is whole, and sound, and
shared. You saw this all the time in hos
pital. A man who had only one leg would
pal up with a man who mad only one arm.
The one-armed man would wheel the one
legged man about the garden in a chair;
at meal-times the onelegged man would cut
UP the one-armed mans food for him. They
had both lost something, but by pooling what
was left they managed to w a complete
body.
There is a point l want to make clear be-
fore, l forget it. All these men, whether
they are capturing Hun dug-outs at the front
or taking prisoner their own despair in Eng
lish hospitals, are perfectly ordinary and
normal. Before the war they were shop as
s~istants, cab drivers, plumbers, lawyers,
vaudeville artists. They were men of no
heroic training. But something has hap
pened to them since they marched way in
khaki-something that has changed them.
They are as completely remade as 81. Paul
was after he had had his vision on the road
to Damascus. They have brought their
vision back with them to civilian life, de-
spite the lost arms and legs which they
scarcely seem to regret; their souls still
triumph over the bodily and the temporal.
often at the front l have thought of
Christ's own explanation of his own unas-
sailable peace-an explanation given to his
disciples at the last supper, Immediately be
fore the walk to G~ethsemane, Be of good
cheer, / have overcome the world Over
coming the world, as | understand 1t, is
overcoming self. Fear, in its final analysis,
is nothing but s~elfishness. A man who is
afraid in an attack isn't thinking of his pals
and how quickly that will accrue to his regi-
ment or division if the attack is a success;
he isn't thinking OF what he can do to con-
tribute to that success; he isn't thinking of
the splendor of forcing his spirit to triumph
over WEAKNESS and nerves and the abomina-
tons that the Huns are chucking at lin.
He's thinking merely of o. he can save his
worthless skin and conduct his entirely I'M
important body to a place where there are
no shells.
In London as | saw the workaday, uncon.
scious nobility of the MANNED and wounded,
the words, & have overcome the world took
an added depth All these men have an l.
have-overcome the world look in their faces.
1t is comparatively easy for a soldier with
traditions and ideals at his back to face
death calmly; to be calm in the face of life.

Historical Society
Has Acquired Priceless
Book Centuries Old

The New Mexico Historical society has
just come into possession of one of the
l~rarest and most interesting books in the
southwest. For a number of years the So
ciety has been the owner of a geography
and atlas illustrated by a number of full
page maps, published in 1850, and this is
considered one of its most valuable posses
sions and attracts the attention OF many in
telligent visitors.
But the book just obtained far exceeds
the other in value and interest, and ante
dates 1t by nearly 70 years. 1t appeared
and Governor Prince, the president of the
society, took advantage Of his trip to that
city to examine IL and finally succeeded In
making the purchase.
1t is called lie Miroir du Monte"--the
mirror of the world-printed at Anvers,
France, in 1888. and is in its original vellum
1yer. 1t contains a comprehensive descfiD-
tion of every country in the Old World SO
far as they were known, both geographical
and historical, with an accompanying map
of each one by the celebrated Ortelius, the
best known m~apsmaker Of that period.
There are nc less than 70 Of these maps

of special interest now in connection with
the war, as they cover in minute detail
every point held by the contending armies
in Northern France, Belgium, Holland and
the surrounding districts, One peculiar fea-
Iture of these maps is the representation of
the great forests that then existed in many
countries, by engravings of clumps of trees.

Time To Back Up

The newspapers Germania and Deutsche
Tages Zeitung of Berlin have computed, to
their own satisfaction, that only 10000
American soldiers have thus far reached
France. Time was, the Christian Science
Monitor reminds us, when they belittled the
strength of the British expeditionary force
in like manner. Then, when the British
drove the Germans back from one position
to another, the Berlin newspapers attributed
the aeries of defeats to the Overwhelming
strength of the enemy" One of these days
those papers will perhaps be in a hurry to
say that the American expeditionary force
is much larger than it really is, since this
may be the only way of accounting for SOME
CT the things likely to take place.

Billions For Defense

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo will
offer for subscription every two weeks be-
tween now and opening Of the next liberty
loan treasury certificates of indebtedness
in amounts of $50O,000,00 or more. If all
the banks of the country do their share,
and it is contemplated that they viii, $4,000,
900, 900 Of the certificates will be taken by
them between now and the flotation of the
mex liberty loan.
The raising of $500, OO0, 1000 every two
weeks seems a tremendous task, yet in re-
lation to the banking resources of the
United States it seems easy of accomplish
ment.
The resources of the national banks OF
the United States on November 20 last were
$18, 500, 000,0 900 and the resources Of state
banks and trust companies on June 20, 1917,
were practically $21, 200, 600, 900.
The resources of both have increased
since the dates named when the latest re-
ports we're made. The $4,000, 100000 ex.
pected by the secretary of the treasury is
less than 10 per cent Of the banking re-
sources OF the nation.
The banking power of the world in 1890
was estimated at SIS 500, 000, 600; the banking
power of the United States is now tive. and
a half times as great as the banking power
Of the world as late as that year.
The United States is just beginning to
demonstrate its unexamIs-% power and
might. 1t is called upon to defen- 'be lib
terty Of the world, to preserve civilization
and humanity. 1t is answering n a way
to demonstrate that it is equal to the task
