EXPLOSIVES MUST NOT
Be SENT TO SOLDIERS
GOVERNMENT WARNS AGAINST
THE TRANSMISSION OF SUCH.
ARTICLES THROUGH THE MAILS

The government today warned all
postmasters to be on the lookout for
packages directed to u. s. soldiers in
France and carrying any unavailable
articles, such as alcohol, matches, and
even explosives and infiammable
articles. Many packages with these
unavailable articles have been discov-
cred in New York, although they bore
the signatures of the postmasters Of
the offices where they were mailed,
signifying that they were 20. K"
A penalty of $4,000 is imposed on
senders of such articles, and post
masters also are held liable for the
violation of the postal laws, as these
officials are expected to examine
thoroughly all packages before they
r sent east. A large number OF
packages containing explosives were
found mailed in Chicago and in New
York, it is said. There are two ex.
plantations Of this attempt to send un.
mailable things to soldiers. One is
that ignorance is at the bottom Of 1t,
and the other is a desire Of pro-Ger-
m a sympathizers to blow up ships
and cause trouble.

RIO GRANDE is
ASKING FOR AID

While in Washington for the past
four or five weeks. seeking to ascer-
tain what congress intends to do in
the matter of the drainage of vast
tracts Of land along the Rio Grande
In New Mexico, State Engineer James
A. French offered the suggestion 10
officials that the government give
back to the various states the public
lands SO as to assist them in carry
ing out drainage projects, do reclania-
tion work and possibly aid schools and
build highways. If this plan should be
carried out, it would mean about fit
teen million acres restored to New
Mexico, which, If sold at even SO an
acre, would provide a vast sum to
build up this state.
Something should be done for the
two young states, New Mexico and
Arizona, admitted but recently to the
union" said Mr.. French" At present
the government is not drawing an i'm
mense revenue from its public lands,
perhaps only 49, 00, 900 or 1000, 900
a year. 1t is believed that II the states
had control Of these lands, leasing and
selling them, a much better business
could be done"
Mr.. French found that the senti-
ment in congress is that 1t will be a.
gainst public policy to take up a local,
specific reclamation project in con-
gress at this time, and for that reason
there is no telling just what congress
will do in the Rio Grande reclama-
ton project. Accordingly, Mr.. French
worked on another program with the
lei of the reclamation service and he
has some hopes Of this project-to re
