that the blasts of unexpected adyer. sity have suddenly started to beat about him with unparalleled fierce ness, 1t is only matter of time until the Hun will give up the ghost Sure ly he has mind of his own lurking somewhere within the cavity of his hard-shell head, and when the con sCi0usness of his own reasoning DOW CTS finally flashes within him he is due to strike at his masters with vengeance that will cause the whole civilized world to stand aghast. Either this must come to pass, or else the German is shOrn of every single at tribute of the human passions.
 The time is at hand when the Hun no longer dreams of world dominion He now stands at bay before the ser rled steel of an outraged world in arms while pestilenCe and starvation stalk across the fatherland. What matters it that he has overrun other lands and that he still camps on for eign soil? He must realize that he has spent his force and that his doom is sealed And as he contcmplates the futilty of continuing the struggle 1t is not unlikely that he will choose mutiny and then surrender in prefer ence to being chained to d gun and shot down like q dog. But when this will happen, no man can foretell. And yet to say that it will test the stamina of the German private to fight off the enemy during the remainder of the summer and then be subjected to the rigors of another winter in the trenches, cannot be classed as al together idle speculation. The peace we seek may be closer at hand than the pessimists would have us believe. Still we must not allow ourselves to be deluded with false fancies: we must press on with unabated vigOr until the enemy is completely crushed
 in spirit and in military strength.

memory of Washington and Lincoln, sO 1t may be assumed that the mill- iary genius of the inCOmparablc French hman and the recollection or his marvellous exploits have made n lasting impression on the great grand sons of the splendid soldiers who Eagles of France in the celebrated campaigns of a century ago.

 Moreover. 1t is no secret that the French artillery is the finest on the field today. Is this due entirely to the ingenuity of their present day en- Eineers, or can it be traced in part to an inspiring tradition that stretches all the way back to the days when their master gunner first brought ar tillery into full play and organized and mancuvercd his armies on the theory that God was always on the side of the heaviest guns?
 Then, too. is it likely that the grudgc of q hundred years has been altogether forgotten? Surely the glor- ious achievements of French arms at Austerlitz and Jena and Wagram are still fresh in the minds of the pOilu, and the memory of how the Old Guard once camped in Berlin must move them to superhuman efforts against their ancient foe. The spirit of The Little Corporal still cheers them on.

THE LITTLE CORPORAL.

During the discussion the other day with close student of modern war fare, this question was projected:
 "Werc the great Napoleon alive to- day, on which side would he be found and what would he be likely to accom-. plish?"
 The question invites all sorts of ianciful speculations, yet 1t is only lair to assume that he would be fight ing for France and that he would be in high command, As to what he might achieve, who can say?
 BU' why speculate in this fashion? Is if not sufficient to say that al though the matchloss Napoleon has been in his grave for almost cen tury, h. ndomitable spirit still lives in the hearts of his wonderful country men and inspires and sustains them in the struggle?

ANOTHER PAGE ON cH1ErrA1N
J. Robert Page, Brother of the Ed.
itor, Arrives,

J. Robert Page, brother of the
editor of The Chieftain, who has
been employed on newspapers at
Casper and Lusk, WyO, for some
months, has arrived in Holly to be
identified with the publication of
the paper:
Robert Page is an expert limo
type operator and machinist, hav-
ing had Is years experience in the
operation of these wonderful ma
years so completely revolutionized
the newspaper and publishing bus
mess. Moreover Mr.. Page is aNo a
highly skilled printer and will
prove valuable acquisition to The
Chieftain force.
The extent of Mr.. Pages connsec-
tion with the paper and the dur
alton of his stay, however, are at
this time somewhat indefinite ow-
ing to the fact that He is within
the age limit of the new man-power
law and will have to register for
service, but due to his physical
health as well as his occupation it
is possible that he may not be
called for some TIME for military
service, in which event he will be-
come partner in the business and
permanent resident of Holly.
In all events, however, The Chief
tain and all it's force and interests
are irrevocably enlisted to help win
the war in whatever capacity the
paper or any of it's management or
employees may be of service and we
all expect to be on the job to the
finish no matter what any of us
may be- called to do in behalf of
world democracy and the crushing
of kaiserism.

ed Tuesday that the first call to
the colors of the men who register
Thursday will include men in the
10 and 20year-old classes and in

Home Guard Should Drill.

For some time past A. P. Knuc-
key has been drilling number of
those men of Holly who are under
registration but have not been
called to the colors, as voluntary
home guard. Of late, however,
many have grown Indifferent in the
matter and do not attend these
drills. Mr.. Knuckey has given his
time freely and without complaint,
in fact is glad to do this work but
feels that the men should take
enough interest to make it worth
while. The ranks OF this home
guard should be greatly increased
from now on in view of the num-
ber of additional registrants un-
der the new man-power law taking
in all men from Is to As. These
drills are held every Monday and
Thursday nights at 8 o'clock.

men and women on its hands in
New York awaiting passports. He
says, They want us right away and
need us badly but can't afford to
get us into New York until the
passport is in sight" This cOnges-
ton in New York is why Mr.. Wood
house and Others are being held in
Denver.
Mr.. WOOdhOuse, however, is not
idle. He is doing editorial work on
the Denver Evening Times pending

cared to remain but he is bound to
fill his mission in France and hence
will be with the Times only until

not excel that standard.
There are five entertainments in

Judge George D. Alden gave a
most vigorous and interesting lee
ture last evening in the court
Square theatre. Mr.. Alden proved
to be fascinating, humorous and
brilliant speaker, and although his
rough shod methods startled the
audience, at times, he was on the
whole, highly enjoyed and proba-
bly, did more to awake serious
thought than any of the other
speakers in the course"

intendent on Republican Ticket

The primary election in Holly
passed without special incident or
exceptional interest, with some
what lighter vote than year ago.
The total vote east in the two Hol
ly precincts, was l6O, while the reg
istratiOn was about 45O.
The feature of main interest to
Holly people in the election was the
success of NJ. U. DeWald who,as will
be seen by the total vote in the
county, secured the nomination for
sheriff.
The following table shows the
vote in precincts 2 and 13, Holly,
while the last column shows the
total vote in the county. The coun-
ty vote shows Carl w. Burke is
in the lead for state senator by the
Democrats while Senator Hasty is
ahead on the Republican ticket.
While The Chieftain has no report
from the other counties of the SEN
atorial district, it is quite probable
both the above gentlemen have
been nominated.
The SAME condition prevails rela-
tive to representative in which
Baca county joins. with Pr0Wers in
the 25th district. Sam Dean, Demo

COAL SENT BY
HUDSON TUBES
McAdoo Orders Freight
Through Pennsylvania
Tunnel.

Further plans for relieving the East
ern and Northeastern fuel shortage
situation were worked out at a con-
ference yesterday between Director
General McAdoo. Walker D. Hines,
Hale Holden, Robert S. Lovett and
Edward Chambers.
The outstanding feature of the con-
ference was the issuence of an order
by the Director General providing for
the use of the Pennsylvania tunnel
under the Hudson river for the move
ment of coal. A telegram was sent
to Samuel Rea, president of the Penn
sylvania lines, advising him of the ac-
ton.
Word was received from the ship
ping board that it was doing its ut
most to provide additional ships for
the movement of coal from Eastern
ports to sections most seriously af-
fected by the shortage.
A congestion of traffic rather than
an actual coal shortage is responsible
for the shortage, it was determined.
With the release of cars and ships re-
lief soon will be afforded, it is be-
lieved.
Mr.. Holden was named to investi-
gate the coal shortage in the District
Of Columbia.
