MOST REMARKABLE GATHERING
IN SANTA FE'S HISTORY

IN SANTA FEES HISTORY
1t a perhaps the most remarkable
gathering of the type ever seen in the
state capital. Though frankly under
the auspices of a single church organ
i~zation, representatives were present
from every church in the city, every
political faith, and every interest
which can be considered of any i'm
portance. From every quarter there
came the repeated slogan of religious
unity and cooperation and the conf
dent prediction that one Of the great
results of the war would be the closer
welding together of all the people of
the country and the elimination of re-
ligious pickering and misunderstood
ing.
Purely as a social affair, the com
mittee of the Knights which had the
matter in charge scored a distinct sue
cess. Through the kindness of Man
ager Giddings, the big dining room OF
the De Vargas was donated for the
occasion. Down the two long tables
was spread a supper which was char
acterized by Uncle Ben Pankey .as
mighty interesting" and great bou-
Quets of flowers were everywhere in
~profusion. Thanks, it is said, to the
initiative of Jose d. Sena, the state
secretary, every want of the guests OF
the order from cigarettes to ice wa
ter was supplied by a group of daugh-
tiers of the Knights who were the fin
ishing touch to the general ensemble.
They had their reward, however, in
an impromptu dance which developed
after the adjournment of the smoker.
Mayor Davies Presides
Mayor Davies presided as toastmaS-
ter. In opening the speech making
the state deputy made it plain that
the guests were not there with any
financial object in view as the first
consideration but in order to get the
benefit of their experience and ideas
as to how to conduct the campaign
and to be aided by any expression Of
sympathy and cooperation which they
may give u.s." The mayor referred to
misunderstanding of other days and
said that he felt convinced, from the
liberal response which had been made
in the previous K. of G. drive by the
non-Catholics of the nation that much
of the misunderstanding must have
been due to the Knights themselves.
He called attention to the slogan Of
the knights in their war activities.
Everybody Welcome - EVERYTHING
free" and that this applied to all sol
diers, Jew, Catholic and Protestant, a
distinction which 1t appears is made
Of the work of this order because Of
the desire of its heads to give the
country ample proof that the work is
for the nation and not for the order.
Everything is free-except postage
stamps he added. 1--WE want your
counsel and your moral support o
than any financial aid at this time"
he reiterated. 1--WE have felt that TIM
quota of $4,000 for the state is not
El Nuevo mexicano., 1918-08-29

excessive and 1t IS our desire TO have
a message go forth from this meeting
that the people of Santa Fe endorse
the work we are trying to do because
that will be of inestimable value to
u.s."
Col. Twitchell First Speaker
Col, r. e. Twitchell was introduced
as the first speaker, n with a SON
with the colors and a leader in the Of
fetal work of the Y. M. G.. A. and
therefore qualified especially to
speak of the war activities of the va
rious orders"
The colonel responded with a vigor-
Gus speech. He had recently had q
letter from his son in which the latter
said that the work of the Y. M. G. A.,
the knights of Columbus, the Saliva
ton Army and kindred activities were
the one thing that the soldiers needed
most and urging his father to tell the
people at home not to lag. The speak
er realized from visiting the canton
ments that the great thing that a
needed was to keep the boys from
falling victims to that dread" disease
nostalgia" and the splendid amuse-
ment, recreation and literary and So
cial facilities afforded by the X. of G.
huts were doing a remarkable work
along that very line.
Y. M. c. A. Strong For It
He was going shortly to leave to at
tend a meeting of the regional direc-
tors of the Y. NJ. C. A. and he would
heartily endorse the campaign for the
X. of c. fund. Every Y. M. G. A. or
ganization in touch with New Mexico
would endorse the plan. 1--WE cannot
afford to slight any of these agencies"
he said. I'VE want to be able to walk
down the same side of the street with
these boys when they come home and
we won't be able to do it if we are
slackers in these drives. These boys
are going to rule the state when they
get back, $1,000 of our best men who
have gone abroad. If we do not sup
port the Knights and kindred bodies
and help to keep them happy and con-
tented, we will be ashamed to look
them in the face"
CATHOLICS PRAISED
BY CHARLES SPRINGER
Chairman Chas. Springer Of the stare
council of defense executive commit
tee was the second speaker. His state
ment that 33 per cent of the army and
40 per cent of the navy are Catholic
was greeted with prolonged applause.
The Catholics of the country are COR
.spicuously doing their part in his
opinion, and the enterprise of the or
der was onv, in line with the patriot
ism which they had always displayed.
The speaker was sure there would be
a generous and statewide response,
and that the drive would go over the
top in a week. This war was bring
ing prominently an ineradicably to the
fore the meaning of America, as has
heen expressed in Albuquerque re-

PARIS, Aug. 2s.-The German COM
mand apparently planned to pivot the
retiring movement on the line east
Of Arras, with the divisions south of
II marching back to the old German
line. Such a plan would be difficult
to carry out under the most favorable
circumstances.
The British onslaught on Bapaume
added to the difficulties of carrying
out this plan and the extension of
the battle line to the Scarpe made
things much worse. This Is because
the British struck at the hinge by at
lacking and breaking through from
CavreIle and CrolsiIIes.
That Is why the Germans are max
ing such a determined resistance, and
also why they are reactIng so fur
iously at the other end Of the line be-
tween Allette and the Aisne. If the
enemy cannot prevent General Man
gin from advancing toward the SoIs-
sons-coucy road the entire German
seventh army on the Vesle will be put
in jeopardy. It also is essential for
him to keep General Mangin away
from the Disc because II he should
retire from Noyon to the Hindenburg
line between chauIny and lie Fere he
would be obliged to march along the
Disc under the first of the French
guns or make a long detour by way
of Guiscard.
Each day a~ccentuates the German
defeat and adds to their losses In men,
material and prisoners. Since July
10 the allies have taken we'll over
10000 prisoners. The guns captured
have numbered more than 1000 and
there also have been taken vast stores
of ammunition. The British troops

tion in behalf of officials who had
charge of the original. aircraft fund
of $640,000 900 was made in the sen
ate today by Senator Thomas of Colo

NOGALES, Ariz, Aug. 28.-Profound regrets for last
nights firing on Americans, killing two and wounding twen-
tyfive were expressed by General Plutaco Elias Gales, military
governor of Sonora, to Brigadier General De Rosey Cabel in
a telegram received from General Gales at Magdalena, Sonora,
early today. General Gales stated he had been ordered to pro-
coed to the border by President Carranza to express these re-
Igrets personally. He is scheduled to arrive here this morning.
He left Hermosllo last night and sent the telegram en- route.
General Cabel arrived at 3 a.. m. from Douglas. The confer
|ence is to be held in Nogales, Arizona today.
Reports that negro cavalry troops crossed the interna-
tional boundary during the shooting yesterday were officially
confirmed here today. A detachment of the cavalry crossed
international Avenue at 5 p. m. and rode one block into No
gales, Sonora, to clear the adobe houses Of snipers. None
was killed.
AT 1 O'Clock this afternoon the latest estimate placed the
Mexican casualties at fourteen dead and forty wounded with
the belief current among Mexican officials that these figures
will be considerably augmented when the official list is issued.

MEXICAN AND AMERICAN
GENERALS STOP FIRING

Nogales, Ariz., Aug, 2S.-Aii danger
of any resumption of firing between
Mexicans and Americans across the
border was believed to have been
averted today when Brigadier Cen
eral Cabell announced that an agree
ment had been reached with Captain

Mexican forces in Nogales, Sonora,
that there should be no resumption
of hostilities. This agreement was

civilians assisted in this police work. No troubl e occurred although there
was IN air Of tenseness throughout the night which was relieved when the
period of the truce expired at z a. m, and no further shooting occurred.

The men whose hands will open wide
To aid the neighbor at their side,
Yet dare not willingly intrude
Upon a chosen solitude.
We love those men who'll try to do
Their best to help brother thru;
Who never let single word
OF scandal from their lips be heard;
Those brave enough, despite all jeers,
To dry fallen woman's tears.
Men we can proudly introduce,
Who'll ne'er our confidence abuse;
Who'll honor sweethearts, daughters,
Protect their virtue with their lives;
When all these things they'll gladly do
They'll then prove real Elks,
staunch and true.
When for admittance such one knocks
Well pass him in, thru ballot box;
And he will find we do with vim
Those things, which we expect of
him;
And he will ever proudly be,
