the cover and emptied the con-

When counted, the cash was
found to amount to a goodly sum.

Hats OF to Our NeighbOrs

While Luna county is felicitat-
i2g over having nearly doubled
her quota in the recent Red Cross
drive, she can well afford to
extend the hand of congratulation
to her neighbor counties, Grant
and Dona Ana. both of whom
more than trebled their quota.
Grant with goal of $15,0
passed $51, 600. Dona Ana, whose
quota was $4,250, went over
$15, 900. The achievement of
Dona Ana is undoubtedly the
more remarkable, as the big
mining companies were respon-
sible for a large part of the Grant
county total, but nobody has any
wish to detract from her splendid
achievement on that account.
Here's hats off to our nieghbors,
Grant and Dona Ana. They beat
us, but it is a beating we could
take with perfect good grace and
cheerfulness. -Deming Graphic.

t02d Infantry and Yale Mobile

High tribute to the 102d United States Infantry, made up of the old First and Second regiments, Connecu- cut National Guard is paid by Hamil- ton Holt, Yale '94, In an article entitled "A Tleit to the Yale Mobile Hospital printed in the summer supplement of the Vale Alumni Weekly. Because this article deals so intimately with Con- necticut boys now fighting in France, It is reprinted herewith:
 T gladly comply with your request to tell briefly of my impressions of the Yale Mobile hospital ulit which I re- gently visited in France. It was o'clock Sunday afternoon. May 12, ex- actly three weeks after the 1o2d Con- necticut boys had won the battle of Seicheprey, the first battle that Ameri~ ca had fought in France. General Clarence Edwards had just taken Judge William H. Wadhams. '96, and myself aver to see those boys who took part in it--mostly from New Haven, Hartford and Waterbury-and to hear from their own lips the story of their

 Tt will interest all Yale men to nave me repeat here the story Colonel Dowell told me of the part Lieut.. ~rharlss F. Lockhart.

 Tt was fine to see this little band of Yale men at the battle front sit ting on the beds where our poor wounded fellows would soon rest, lis- tening to the chaplain conducting the services and it was not at all inap- propriate-on the contrary, it was the best of all benedtctions-when we broke up with the long Brek- elk -el1- ex cheer which latter, no dopbts as

 Think what this means Here wa. the first fight in which America took part in the great war. The honor of representing America fell to a regi- ment of Connecticut boys When the order was given to retreat, one little band in command of a modern Nathan Hale held their ground for two days, though entirely surrounded by the Germans. And then when they were finally relieved there they were, every single man of them, dead or alive. at
