War Bill a Hummer

The war bill of the allies against
Germany is 24,0OO,OO0,00O pounds, ac-
cording to the prime minister, David
Lloyd George, who presented this
and other interesting facts before a
large gathering at Bristol, England
Wednesday. The cost of the war to
Great Britain was 8OOOO0OOOO lbs.
Before the war the estimated
wealth of Germany, said the premier,
was between l5,OOO,0O00OO and TO-
OO0,0OO,0O0 pounds sterling. So, if the
whole wealth of Germany were taken
there would not be enough to pay
the account. Therefore; he had used
the words:
Germany should pay to the ut
most limit of her capacity"
When the prime minister was ad-
dressing an overflow meeting he said
Great Brita;n would be guilty OF a
great folly if she gave up her navy.
A voice interrupted:
"Then watch Wilson,
The premier replied:
Well | hope to meet him in A
fortnight. ! will tell him what you
say"
wherever the request comes from
we are not going to give up the pro-
lection OF the navy, so far as Great
brita n is concerned"

w. H. BARTLETT, RICHEST
RESIDENT OF THE STATE,
DIED At VERMEJO PARK

w. H. Bartlett, former wheat Mag
nate of Chicago. who retired from
active business about ten years ago
and established himself on a 100000
acre ranch in the northern part of
this state. died there Tuesday.
Mr.. Bartlett bought a large tract
of the Maxwell Grant about fifteen
years ago, including the famous Ver-
mejo Park country. Later he pur-
chased other portions of that Grant
and some 10000 acres of the Sangrc
dc Cristo Grant.
He built palatial residence.
stocked the land with thoroughbred
herefords, built telephone lines, de-
veloped water and in various other
ways made great and valuable i'm
provements over the whole tract.
The higher and rougher portions
were converted into game pres
erve.
When Mr.. Bartlett retired from ac-
tive business in Chicago he was worth
probably ten million dollars, and this
fortune was easily doubled after that
through Mr.. Patton's spectacular
wheat deals, Mr.. Bartlett being the
founder and senior partner of the
company which Mr.. Patton continu-
ed to operate so successfully.

FISCATE MANY GALLONS
HOME MADE INDIAN BOOZE

Federal officers Holgate and Good
night have returned from a visit to
the White Mountains and San Car
los Apache reservation in Arizona
where they confiscated a number of
tulapai making outfits and destroy
ed q large quantit,. Of this moon
shine booze.
The Indians caught with the out
fits for making tulapai on the re-
servations are taken before the In
dian agents for trial and sentence.
The officers found in several ms
tances that Apaches living off the
reservations are making the liquor
in quantities. Five arrests were
made at Geronimo and three at
Miami.
The greater part Of the tulapai is
made by the women. One Apache
woman who was arrested stated 10
the officers that the women will
continue to make the liquor as long
as they can secure corn from white
men or raise it themselves.
Despite all the officers car do,
the manufacture of tulapai is spread
ing all over the reservations. The
liquor is very strong and when an
Apache is full of it he becomes in
sane and more or less dangerous.
The influenza has been very severe
among the Apaches and more than
zoo died from It up to few days
ago-Gallup Herald.

BIC SHIPMENT OF CATTLE
FROM COLFAX COUNTY

The past few days has witnessed
the largest shipments of cattle from
Colfax county that has been made
for several years. Among The ship
pers from the local stockyards yes
terday were Is cars from the T. o.
ranch, 10 cars from the Moore ranch,
z from the McAuliffe and 7 from
the Bruggeman & Doyle ranch.
Besides these there was a large ship
ment from Springer, from the Geo.
Gillespie ranch; the Smythc ranch :
the Gus Bracket ranch and the Chas.
Springer ranch. The cattle market
is at its best and as there is such a
great demand for cattle of all kinds
it is expected that the local cattle
raisers will receive the highest mark
ct price as the stock was in fine
condition. Some of the owners ac-
companied their consienments among
them being Walter Moore and Dave

Spirit Of Dictatorship

Because he resented the personal
efforts made publicly to induce him
to subscribe to the United War
Fund drive, Henry Ford left the Me-
tropolitan Opera House in New
York while the drive was in progress
and openly denounced the methods
that were pursued. There are many
people who take the same view that
Mr.. Ford takes concerning such me-
thods. Calling on a man PERSONAL
ly in public to make a specified con-
tribution is CALLING to Americans. To
some extent, however, the purpose
of the drive and the well-known abb
lity of the man to contribute, may
be alleged in extenuation, if not en-
tire excuse, of the measures pur-
sued.
But il we assume that Ford was
ltirely right and the war fund col
lectors entirely wrong, is not Mr..
Ford largely to blame for the de-
velopment of the spirit which actuat-
ed the leaders of the war fund drive
1t was no more nor less than the
exercise of the assumed right of one
man to dictate to other men what
they shall do and how. 1t is not
many months since President Will
son selected Mr.. Ford as his candi-
date for the senatorship from
Michigan, asked the Republicans to
accept him as their candidate, and
asked the people of Michigan to ac-
cept him as their senator. Mr.. Ford
acquiesced fully in that proceeding.

MANGANESE OPERATIONS
FOR MONTH NOVEMBER

Accurate figures on the output of
manganese from the Boston Hill
mines during the month of Novem-
ber have been made available for
publication and show that the indus
try is larger than was forecasted a

of this paper.
During November 4 total of 1880
wagon loads of ore passed over the
weighing scales at Lowe and Hams
and the aggregate car loads shipped
during the month by the two firms

practically represents three weeks

HOVE SUGGESTS METHODS
FOR DEVELOPMENT OF N. M.

Mr.. A. M. Hove, formerly with the
Santa Fe, has the following to say
in regard to the development of New
Mexico resources now that the war
is over. While New Mexico has no
factories to be converted there are
thousands upon thousands of acres
of fertile land that should be put
in cultivation. Mr.. Hove says:
"The problem of New Mexico is not
to switch industry from a war basis
to a peace basis. The problem is to
bring about active and more extend
ed development of the great variety
OF. natural resources of this big state.
The great opportunity is at the door.
Large areas of now worthless
land may be reclaimed through sys-
tematic drainage. A million acres
of land is reported under irrigation.
Till this area properly and New
Mexico will feed itself. This means
better agriculture. There is also
room for expansion.
"The live stock industry may be
advanced and better flocks and
herds developed. At times we tear
fully recount how the open range
is disappearing and crippling the live
stock industry. Closer cooperation
between the farmers and the stock
growers means more and better stock.
THE mountains are full of miner
ais. New Mexico is said to have
as much coal and just as good coal
as Pennsylvania. But New Mexico
is spending only niggardly amount
to explore its mineral wealth.
"It is not necessary to catalog re-
sources. They are here. waiting for
people and money for development.
But neither will come without at
tention being called to the opportu-
mites offered in New Mexico.
ITO get results worth while, the
must be statewide. The
time is opportune, calling to arms
to build New Mexico. should lead
to early action by state officials.
organizations, and busi-
ness and industrial bodies"

The proposed arrangement would
enable passengers from trains No. 8

PRIDE OF AMERICAN NAVY
MARVEL IN EVERY RESPECT

The statement in the following ar
ticle from Washington stating that
the great/Super-Dread Battle
ship New Mexico is the most power
full naval fighting machine in the
world will swell all New Mexico
hearts with pride in the name sake
of their state.
"The American super-dreadnought
New Mexico is the most powerful
naval fighting machine in the world.
1t is stated that the New Mexico
is the only Warship of her immense e
dimensions, tonnage and speed that
is driven by electric machinery.
There have been experiments in the
navy with small craft wrich have
proved successful and these were
evidently tried with similar success
and advantage on the pride of the
navy" and what was described to-
day as the me plus ultra" of tie art
of war on sea.
During the visits here of English
experts they manifested great deal
of interest in this super ship and
were given all an opportunity to
make visit to her when nearing
completion, not very long ago, at
New York. All experts agreed that
the New Mexico is a marvel in every
way.
The New Mexico is 600 feet long,
o7.4 beam. 80 feet draft, $1,000 tons
displacement and has a speed OF Fl
knots; main battery twelve l4-inch
guns, 22 5 inch guns and two tor
pedo tubes.
There are many features of the
New Mexico which could be under
stood at distance. There are some
features, however. that will probably
remain secret until she has some
clash with near equal Before the
war there was a very we'll authen-
ticated story to the effect that Ad-
miral Taylor and Admiral Capps
had evolved a plan for the sub-di-
vision of the hull Of the new ves-
sells so numerous that one or two
hits by a torpedo still would leave
one OF the new ships afloat and
with full offensive and defensive
power left, this is said to be true
of the New Mexico.
The secret is largely how the sub
divisions are placed IN respect to
each other and esoecially as to the
motive power compartments.
Another feature of the New Mex
leo and perhaps fifty per cent of her
unique power is the fact that she
is driven by electricity and has some
marvellous cruis ng and maneuvering
advantages.
There are other vessels in the
United States Navy, such as the
Mississippi. of which Capt. William
Moffett, of the Great Lake training
Naval station, has been given COM
mand, that have equal batteries with
the New Mexico. The latter how
ever. for its secrets, still is the great
est fighting naval machine ever sent
to sea. Some time ago Great Britain
undertook to build three special ships
with only one gun for and after
in order to produce great speed. 1t
is understood by navy men here that
the vessels were built but were fail
ures and that future construction by
foreign nations will follow any mod
els that can be obtained from the
United States.

Owing to other employments pay
