NOT GUILTY. VERDICT
IN WILLIAMS CASE

The federal court, presided over by
U. S. District Judge Colin Neblett,
was in session this forenoon and then
adjourned until 8 o'clock tomorrow
morning out of respect to Memorial
Day.
The jury brought in verdict Of
not guilty in the case Of the Gov
ernment VS.. ]. c. Williams, who was
tried on the charge of making false
affidavit to a questionable involving
the draft. 1t appeared that Mr.. Will
liams, who is a probate Judge at Tu-
cumcari, was asked by Lee Robbins to
o. X. his affidavit on page IL Of the
QUESTIONABLE, involving a statement OF
dependents, Mr.. Robbins putting in .
claim for exemption. Robbins errone-
ously affixed his own signature on the
dotted line which should have been
signed by the alleged dependents, such
as a wife or mother OF relatives. 1t
was alleged that Robbins later wrote
in the name of his wife, Mrs. Lee Rob-
bins. The government contended that
Probate Judge Williams was not en-
titled to administer an oath to Robbins.

SWIMMING POOL READY

st. Michael'S swimming pool has
been put in first-class shape for the
season with a solid concrete walk sur
rounding the pool instead of the board
walk which sufIiced last year Dur
ing the hot summer months the pool
is likely to be more popular than ever.
II is not, nor has it ever been run for
profit In fact, the management is
still over $400 "in the hole" owing to
the high cost of building material. A
first class swimming pool such as Tu-
cumcari can now boast would be a
credit to much larger town, and
doubtless the public will appreciate
the undertaking by patronizing the
swimming pool literally and support
ing it as it deserves to be supported
This is the only way such worthy
community building projects can b'
encouraged and town built up along
progressive and up-to-date lines.
A large number of citizens, includ
ing boys and girls and adults, enjoye'
swim on the opening day-Tuesday
The Pool is reserved for ladies ol
Tuesdays and Fridays, but the boy
are admitted from s to 10, II to
and to 6.
The prices are the same as las
year: Single 25c; monthly $500; tn
whole season $1,000. Special rates I

RED CROSS SPIRIT
SHOWS COUNTY IS
awake TO HER DUTY

We have reached the end Of the
campaign for the Red Cross second
War Fund. The county was asked to
raise $4,000 and as practically the
whole country has gone away over,
naturally Quay county did not fall
behind in the procession, but came
through with almost double that
amount and two branches yet to re-
port. Tucumcari was allotted $1,000,
and the balance of the county $1,000.
This was thought by some to be out
of proportion but results show that
Tucumcari raised $3342.20 and the
Branches $2O2O.86. This is matter
of pride with US ALL but it does not
involve the sacrifice of town people
on a pay roll that it does on the part
of the people in the drouth-stricken
portions of the county.
The campaign had several features
worthy of comment. One was the fact
, that Mrs. Kohn, captain of 9th ward,
reported that the shop and Office men
responded to man-lOO per cent
American-the workers in this dis
trict were untiring in their efforts,
having solicited both day and night
forces. Another was report from
Hudson where there is not as yet any
branch. Mrs. j. V. Mauk was cap
tain there and the Spanish American
population responded 100 per cent, not
one with less than Sl.00. Another and
one of which we are justly proud, was
the report from 9th Ward. Only
where we found the sole occupant OF
the house on bed of sickness, and II
a few cases where the husbands hac
given at the shops, were we refused
by any of the Spanish-Americans II
that district, many giving from theil
earnings at the wash-tub. In one in
stance little boy followed the work
ers from house to house trying to sum
mon courage to offer his five pennies
Last but by no means least is the no
ticeable growth of the Red Cross splr
it as compared with the campaign o
one year ago. Following are the dis
tricts and wards and the amounts:

AMERICANS HELPING
HOLD HUNS ALONG
WHOLE BATTLE LINE

From drives on wide fronts, the
German offensive in France has de-
Perforated into isolated attacks along
the area between Scissors and Chateau
Thierry and eastward on the Mafhe In
the general direction Of Rheims.
Although in these attacks the enemy
still is using large electives and great
numbers Of guns, he Is being held
almost everywhere from further pro-
gress and on various sectors compelled
to assume tre defensive against VI
cious blows delivered by the American,
French and British troops.
The Americans OIL the sectors where
they are brigaded with allied troops
are fighting with spirit Of abandon
that places them rightly in the cate
CORY of veterans. Near the Neuilly
wood, which lies northwest of chateau
Thierry and at the poiD. where the
drive has brought the enemy nearest
Paris, the Americans hav' beaten oil =
strong German attack, and on tho
Marne at Jaulgonne, some six miles
northeast Cf Chateau Tkierry, fighting
shoulder to shoulder wi5a the French,
they have aided in forcing the first
contingent of the enemy to cross the

AS VIEWED BY
LEADING GERMANS

(From the Manufacturers Record)
Some idea of the German frame of
mind may be had from bringing to-
gether few out of hundreds of simi-
lar statements made by leading Ger
mans about war:
The Prussians are cruel by nature;
civilization will make them ferocious.
Goethe.
The Prussians Nature has made
them stupid science has made them
wicked.-Heine.
o Germany, hate now! Arm thy
self with steel and pierce with thy
bayonet the heart of every foe; no
prisoners Lock all our lips in silence /;
turn our neighbors' lands into deserts.
-Vierordt.
Woe and death to all those who shall
oppose my will. Woe and death to
those who do not believe in my mission.
Kaiser wilhelm, 1914.
War must leave nothing to the van
quished but their eyes to weep with.
-Tannenberg, 1911.
1t is better to let hundred women
and children belonging to the enemy
die of hunger than TO let single Ger
man soldier suffer.-Von der Goltz
Germany is destiped to rule the
world, or at least great part of it
The lives Of human beings are
to be conserved only if it makes for
the states advancement; their lives
are to be sacrificed if it is to the
states advantage.-General Won kries
1916.
Use your weapons in such way
that for a thousand years no Chinese
shall dare look upon German ask
ance. BE as terrible as Attila's Huns
The Kaiser to his troops going t'
China.
Whoever cannot prevail upon him
self to approve from the bottom of hi
heart the sinking of the Lusitania-
whoever cannot conquer his sense o
the gigantic cruelty to unnumbere'
perfectly innocent victims ant

this victorious exploit Of the Germal

of human activities.-Von Gottberg.
