gerous that American readers should
not be trusted with it.
In times of peace the Journal never
hesitates to print anything that adds
to the intelligence of its readers. 1t
doesn't feel that 1t should suppress

news or Bolshevist news.
Recently we gave considerable
space to statement of the position
of Lenine, the most menacing figure
in the world today, by himself, his own
words. The statement was strong
one, by an exceedingly able man. 1t
was the first comprehensive, logical
definition of Bolshevism that had been
made in this country, and the journal
believed its readers were entitled to
have it.
We have considerable confidence in
the good sense and the poise of our
readers. We do not undertake to
keep things from them that are either
interesting or informative.

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER -. 1919
CARE PREFERABLE TO HURRY.

Only one newspaper coming to the
Journal office has recently urged the
adoption of the amendment for au-
thoriZing the legislature to issue high
way bonds. That was the Magdalena
News. The State Record of Santa Fe
comments adversely upon the seem
ingly almost unanimous objection
to its adoption. 1t is not at all dis
creditable, if, as the Record says,
members of the legislature who voted
for submission of the amendment are
now opposed to its adoption. In the
zeal to secure the utmost aid from the
federal highway funds. all the legisla-
tors, democrats and republicans, voted
to put the matter NJ to the people.
Such action pledged no legislator and
no party to vote for the amendment.
The announcement later by the tax
payers association that no restriction
was provided as to how far a legsla-
ture might go in selling bonds, indi-
Gated lack of business precaution as
TO the future, that might be equivalent
to the act of man who would give
out signed but untitled checks.
Having without party division called
for an election. members of the legis-
lature, political committees and lead
ers let it go at that. The press of the
state let the question go undiscussed
until recently. The statements made
by the taxpayers association attracted
attention to a feature that is decidedly
loose and Objectionable. which had
escaped general discernment.
The last legislature provided for
road revenues by direct taxes and
other sources, nearly six millions for
state roads for the next three years.
This, with the federal aid of $4,500,-
O00. and approximately 100000 for
county roads, will provide about $13,-
100000 to be spent upon New Mexico
roads and bridges for the three year
period, says the taxpayers association,
In addition to this, at the November
election of 1920. the people will vote
directly upon a proposal to issue 3d.
000,0 bonds for roads. The associa-
ton says this insures ample provision
for meeting the federal aid require
ments during the period. The legisla-
ture of 1921 will have time to take
any further action demanded by the
government In the meantime it is
said that no hold will be released upon
the federal aid, because an agreement
of acceptance of the provisions will
be in force.
The people of the various counties
are approving Of the road tax levy
for cooperation with the federal gov
eminent, and of the activities of the
efficient and pushing highway COM
mission.
But there is evident unwillingness to
neglect usual limitations with regard to
authorizing Indebtedness, especially
when haste is not requisite.
The Journal columns are open for
any further concise informatory mat
ter upon any of the amendments.

longer range and greater effect, fell
the task of facilitating the approach
OF the groups of the enenys position
by keeping the latter under fire. OF
course, it had to accompany the adj
vance of the infantry. Therefore, al
though itself infantry" 1t had already
become a sort of companion or aux
Hilary arm to the infantry.
The second auxiliary arm, of special
use at short ranges against targets
offering more than usual resistance,
was the light trench mortar. Origin
ally evolved for trench warfare, 1t
had now to be made mobile and ca
pable of direct fire by means of suit
able sights. The light trench mortar
was part of the infantry battalion,
which became more and more the tao
teal unit of the division, just as the
group within was the tactical unit of
the battalion.
These AUXILIARY" arms were not
yet effective enough to enable the in
fantry to advance on their ardous
way without excessive losses. OF
course, massed artillery prepared the
attack. 1t could, however, only do so
in general way. and left untouched
too many of the enemy's strong
points, which had 10 be dealt with
later in detail at the shortest ranges.
In each division, therefore, field
guns were withdrawn from their
units for short-ranoe work. and were
attached to battalions or regiments as
infantry guns. The formation of
special batteries of infantry guns had
been started in the meantime, but lit
tie progress had been made.
In addition, each division had q
company of medium trench mortars.
which were also to be made as mobile
as possible and allotted to battalions
as required. Finally, there were the
flame projectors. which could be
brought into action at the shortest
ranges against an enemy in block
houses, dugouts and cellars.

The construction of lorries could
mot be allowed to suffer We could
mot possibly do enough towards sup
plying lorries for supply work and
for carrying infantry. The army
headquarters were often enough
troubled by lack of them. When the
chief of staff complained to me Of
the difficulty of bringing up supplies,
and particularly ammunition, al.
tributing it to lack of lorries. and
maintained that they were available,

they had been nuisance, they had

tank fright than the troops them
selves did. In the fighting around
Bourbon and in Bourbon Wood our in
fantry had disposed of tanks at close
quarters by multiple grenades. (The

a number of grenade heads attached
to it, Our artillery had shot them
to pieces. Even the steel-cored bull

been good enough.

men to climb on to them, or destroy
them by short-range fire. Not until
our infantry lost its discipline and

the course of events.
| We formed detachments of captured
tanks. l had a look at the first one
in February, 1918, at an exercise by
one of the assault battalons. 1t did
not impress me. Our own tank de-

more workmen, and the people at
home could not supply any more. Had
they been available, we should have
wanted them as recruits. We should
never have been able to put masses of
tanks into action in 191S--and tanks
are only effective in masses.

defensive fighting the senior comman-
ders had to keep far behind, in order
really to conduct the battle: but now
their place was nearer the front: the
more open the fighting the closer up
they must get The leader now had
to make rapid decisions, and, if neces-
sary, carry others away by his per-
sonal example.
Finally, as our operations pro-
crossed we would come UP against a
new front, which for the time we
would not be able to overcome, as had
happened in Rumania, eastern Galicia
and Italy. Then we should have to
return to the defensive and distribute
our forces in depth. The right mo-
ment for this change was difficult 10
recognize; only too often We became
involved in unnecessary fighting.
Our big attacks had clearly demon
strated the Importance of supply, and
attention was directed to it as mat
ter of course. All preparations had
to be made to follow the attack across
the fortified zones with railways,
roads and telephone lines. and to con-
meet them up to those in the newly
conquered territory.

say about various matters in which
they feel that good citizenship re-

post at Gallup has passed formal res

Kinley county Jail should cease. The
post declares that extension of ia
