Survey Ordered

The survey of the Hot Springs
townsite in New Mexico, a few
miles southwesterly from the
dam of the Elephant Butte Pro-
iect, has been authorized by the
Secretary of the Interior. A un-
ique feature of this work is the
proposed reservation of these
springs, about 80 in number,
which contain highly curative
properties, for the use of the
general public.
Already a settlement has
sprung up around the springs,
which is reported to contain 400
inhabitants and about 100 build
ings, including bath houses and
hotels, for the accommodation Of
health seekers.
A survey of Hot Springs town.
site, New Mexico, into lots and
blocks under Section 1884, u. S.
Revised Statutes, has been or
dered. The hot springs in said
townsite noted for their med
icinal qualities will be embraced
in a reserve to be used for public
purposes only.

The year 1917 saw nearly one
thousand miles of railroad in the
United States abandoned and
about one-half of that mileage
was torn up and sold as scrap.
This is said to be the result of
unfavorable conditions confront
ing railroads since the general
refusal Of the interstate COM
merce commission to advance
freight rates, an example which
was followed by the New Mexico
state corporation commission. :

failure to bring suit against the

last July 1t is reported that the
district attorney is a union man
but has been unable to make a
case against the officials, while

seems not to have any connection
with the deportations.

No Justice or Right

TO fill up the army and man
our vessels of war, we select the
flower of Americas manhood.
In theory, at least, we must have
for them the best and most eff
fective of arms and equipment;
adequate clothing and shoes;
Wholesome food. And then, in
the most important item of all;
in choosing the men who are to
direct the movements Of and
plan the strategy for, these
troops and war vessels and to
provide all supplies and munitions
for them, we leave the genius of
the nation, passing by even the
very good men, and employ those
who have no fitness for the work.
No fitness for any big work.
Where is the logic of such a
course? 1t is the sort of logic
which prevails when Justice is
thrown overheard and Political
Expediency stands at the helm.
A day of reckoning is coming.
Let no man now abusing his
power think that he will escape
his responsibility to the Amer
can people. New Mexico State

Manzano Lands

A flood of inquiries about lands
eliminated from the Manzano ma
tional forest for homestead en-
try has poured into the United
States land office at Santa Fe.
Inquiries have been so numerous
that the land office has not been
able to give specific answers to
requests for detailed description
of the lands and the substance
of President Wilson'S proclaim
alton eliminating them.
The area of the eliminated
lands is 1926, 3lS, acres. One of
the major parts of the area lies
along the eastern slopes of the
Sandia and Manzano mountains,
east of Albuquerque, and another
in the Zuni mountains, south
western Mckinley county. The
latter division includes grazing
lands.
The lands will be open for
homestead entry February 18th
and for all other forms Of entry
February 18th. Applicants may
present their applications twenty
days before February 18th, but
persons who go on the lands
and perform any act of settle
ment prior to 8 a. m. of that
date will be considered tres
passers and gain no rights what.

Cut Out Sob Stuff

Army officers in high com.
mand, including some of the
greatest of the army surgeons,
recognize such a malady as home
sickness. 1t saps the spirit from
the soldier and leaves him unfit
for service, and it breeds thru
contagion. Unsatisfactory word
from home help to produce home
sickness. Failure TO receive
any letters is as bad, il not
worse.
Write to the boys in the
trenches, and to those in the
training camps, getting ready to
go to the trenches. Write often.
Make the letters cheerful.
Don't recite troubles which the
soldier, from so great distance,
is %powerless to remedy. Better
still, don't relate any troubles
at all. Make it plain that you
and all your friends are proud
of his zeal and his PATRIOTISM
that all of you are sure when
the test comes, his conduct will
be that of a true and worthy
son of America. Tucumcari

The recent storm probably ex-

lost, but losses are expected and

With the British Army In France,
Sept 10.-Amazing feats by British air
men during the recent lighting may
now be mentioned,
After driving down in flames one OF
two enemy two -seaters a British scout
had engine failure which compelled
him ito come down. As the machine
touched the ground the German fred

puncturing the gasolene tank. At that
moment the engine picked up sufficient
ly to carry the pilot to the rear OF the
British lines. where he was forced to
come down again. Being under heavy
fire no removed the gun locks and
sights and all his Instruments before
abandoning his machine. which could
not be saved.
A pilot and observer returning from
n bombing raid fell behind their forrna :
ton because OF engine trouble and were
attacked by Fokkers. The elevator con-
trolls were Immediately shot away and
the observer was badly wounded. but
he continued to fight and shot down one
Fokker in flames and another crashed
down out Of control. ...
BY this time all the gasolene tanks
had been shot thru and the engine hit
In several places. All the instruments
on the dashboard were smashed by en-
emy bullets. Both rear guns were
TANNED and the observer was bleeding
badly. The pilot succeeded In getting
his machine into dive and went thru
a cloud and reached the British lines.
The gallant observer was found to have
been wounded ten times during the
flight.
Attacked by a squadron OF enemy
airplanes n lone British scout spun
downward ~ on the way saw that
only one Of the enemy was following
him, so he came suddenly out OF a spin
and caught the enemy machine Cross
ing in front Of him and shot 1t to earth.
where 1t burst into flames.
There are many stories, too. OF how
British alrmen swooped back and forth
over tho German batteries. playing
their guns on the enemy until the Hun
batteries were silenced
One British scout sailed over an en-
emy sausage, dived and finished off
two German sentry planes. then fired
on the sausage which was being hauled
down. and finally dropped two bombs
on tho vince used in raising
and lowering the balloon.
There Is an increasing number OF
cases in which British pilots have at
tackled enemy pilots caught in expert
ences like these. In almost every case
the enemy has been shot down.
