ing motto of both boys and girls, as
II is intended by those behind the or
ganization of the youngsters that the
latter shall not have an incentive to
coax their parents or elder brothers
or sisters or other relative to give
them the money they will contribute
to the United War Work campaign
when the drive for funds begins
Rather is it intended to point the way
for earning the money they may con
tribute.
At a meeting held Saturday in the
offices of the United War Work cam
paign for New Mexico plans for the
organizations of the boys and girls
of this state were outlined and dis
cussed and an organization Of those
who will be responsible for the
banding together of the victory"
boys and girls of New Mexico was
perfected.

Skiles "Doggie" Hoffman, former
star athlete of the University of New

track records, will enter the inter-
national conference track and field
meet at Philadelphia. December 8,
it was learned here yesterday. Hoff-

Hoffman, who is now stationed at
the Mare Island navy station. will
be accompanied to Philadelphia by

Every phase of the work was re-

toward making the organization of
the boys and girls of the state as
effective as possible. 1t was pointed
out by State Director BRENT in
brief address at the opening of the
conference, that the organization of
the youth of both sexes of the state
was not merely for the duration of
the campaign for funds with which
to finance the war work activities

ALL is READY FOR BIG
WEST FRONT OFFENSIVE
Three Successful Raids Carried Out
by British.--AeriaI Activity
Continues Intense.

London, Feb. 20.-Behind the allies
lines in France and Belgium the mill
tary leaders, with their armies ready,
are expecting the Germans to launch
their much talked of offensive, but
there still is no outward sign of its
near approach. Artillery duels and
raiding operations and intensive artil-
lery activity continue to feature the
fighting all along the front. Three
successful raids against the Germans
have been carried out by the British
in Flanders and near Lens and Ar
ras and in northern France. In Elan
ders the arid which was carried out
south of Houtholst Wood. resulted in
the British penetrating German posi-
tons on a wide front, the infliction of
numerous casualties and the taking of
prisoners.
Sixteen German airplanes were ac-
counted for Sunday in aerial fights by
British army airmen, and in addition
German towns and military positions
behind the battle front were heavily
bombarded. British naval airmen also
paid visit to the German naval and
air bases at Zeebruge, which were eff
fectively bombed, and drove down
three German machines that attempt
ed to give battle.

RAIL EMPLOYEES MAY GET
LATER CLAS6IFICATIONS

Washington, Feb. 21-Deferred draft
classification for railroad employees is
under consideration between the en-
ployes and railroad administration, it
has become known.
The war department objects to Civ
ing special consideration to railway
employees as a class, insisting that the
case of each man should be considered
individually as to whether he is in
dispensable.
This policy does not satisfy the rail-
road administration, which contends
that few railroad men are actually in
dispensable and that unless some uni
form action is prescribed, local ex-
emption boards may be inclined to re-
fuse deferred classifications to thou
sands of necessary employees who have
no dependents. Nearly 100000 rail
road men are within the draft age.
But the actual number which would
be affected by such ruling is esti-
mated to be less than 100000.
