OF ore per week.

count Of good seepage Of oil struck in

The Oaks company have started dis.
mantling the old Deep Down mill :
Mogollon. Ore bins will be rebuilt
and used as loading stations for the
new surface tramway to the Socorro
mill.
An indication OF increased develop
ment in western mining is shown by
the fact that, as compared to one elec-
trio smelling furnace plant located
west OF the Mississippi before the war
there are now eight in operation and
three more under construction, result
ing in enormously increased smelling

AS the current of events swept the

as Norman Angel has, and deferred
their teaching of ideals until the peO-
pie returned to teachable mood. In
such course they would have shown
practical leadership and good peda-
gOgy. Instead they persistently forced
their cry for peace" upon a nation
angrily conscious of throttling hand
ar its throat. They did more. They
went to Washington and hung upon the
skirts of sorely-tried government with
the aim of hampering its action. And
their broke with them.
Regretfully wrote to them saying
I could no longer follow u leadership
SO lacking in propriety, so out of touch
with the actual American spirit, so
dominated by fantastic theories made
in Germany. But had to resign a
second time before they could under
stand 1t.
They are, however. well-meaning peo-
pie and very earnest in the pursuit Of
the ideal, and I am grateful for the
opportunity for study which they Of
fered in this institute. Butt wonder
If row, in the light of recent history,
they have discovered that much-want-
ed substitute for war?
Or-that there may be sinner ma
tiOns?
Or-if they are ready now for the al

Or-if they have discovered the

cannot kill without first arresting.
Why? In the case at hand, note what
would have followed an attempt to

law. might have drawn weapon Gas,
suming his right to carry one) and in
form the two men that they were un-

tion to them that he is about to en-
force his right. This notification draws
forth an explanatiOn-one man says.
we'l say: II am secret service
officer. am engaged in the perform
ance Of my duty" On both sides then
there is an understanding of the sit
uation. The citizen still may enforce
arrest. If he can. for the two men have
cOnspired, and he has overheard their
conspiracy. Attempt to enforce arrest.
would. in the case at hand, lead to
the exhibition by the secret service
man, Of his credentials. Result, no
hasty murder-no breaking of the law.
Instead Of that, our man, without af-
fording the two men a trial, prejudged
their case in his own mind, tried and
convicted them. and then executed
them on the spot. 1t cannot be done.
Be on the Watch.
What is the object of presenting
here, this peculiar situation? Are
American citizens to be discouraged
In the exercise Of their patriotic zeali
Is man to think twice before killing
German engaged in the performance
of traitOrOus or seditious act? Yes
because the man may turn out not to
be German. and not to be engaged
in the performance Of such an act.
He is entitled to be heard in his de-
fense. The national government. in this
crisis, needs the civilians intelligent
aid, not his unreasOning. erratic, i'm.
pulsive, oft-times dangerous blunder-
Ing. The government department can
cope with any situation-if you will
put them wise to anything suspicious
that you see or hear. One fortunate
phase Of the matter is that German
citizens loyal to America are at work
all over this country engaged in trap
ping and running down disloyal Ger
mans or enemy aliens. The disloyal
German cannot trust his loyal Ger
man neighbor. German spy activity
has been well checked. Once a msn
comes under suspicion, the expert
sleuths Of the country can handle him.
1t is up to us, the average American
citizens, to sharpen our wits, to act,
not with blind and dangerous and
blundering zeal-but with care and
caution. Do not do anything that will
spring a trap too soon-do not spoil
the stratagems Of perfectly competent
sleuths. Your friends and acQualnt-
ances may laud you as hero-yet you
may have set at naught weeks and
months Of careful secret service plans.
Watch-report-go back and watch
again.
