1t was difficult to decide where to
attack, but 1t necessary TO do so early.
1t took weeks and required consider
able foresight and the most detailed
preliminary work to concentrate the
troops in a confined area, bring up by
rail the tremendous quantities of am
munition and other stores of all kinds,
carry out the work allotted to the
troops themselves such as preparing
battery positions. screening roads,
constructing anti-aircraft shelters and
preparing gear for crossing the trench
es, and finally to deploy for battle.
OF course all this Increased the
danger of discovery. 1t was therefore
necessary to commence dummy works
on the fronts remote from the attack,
which, as a matter of fact, served as
the basis of attack later on But the

In the north the ground was diff

force or the attack would pass, de-

Americans.

THE AMENDMENTS.

Indications arc that none of the
three proposed amendments will be
approved at tomorrow's election in
New Mexico. The soldiers organiza-
tons are taking no action in support
of the one giving absentees the right
to vote. There is comment from vari-
ous sections that this amendment was
designed to lead to affirmative votes
for the trio of measures. This criti-
cism is hardly warranted. for when
the amendment originated there was
expectation that many thousands of
men would be in service and Il was
the desire of all legislators and the
people generally to let the rights OF
the men follow them.

to Fuebia and personally review the
entire matter, making a secret report
to the state department, which would
be checked up with the detailed report

Meanwhile, 1t was suggested this
government would advise Jenkins to
take advantage of the Mexican offer to
set him free OF bail.
IL the Mexican report does not agree
with Hanna's, or IL the Mexicans re-
fuse to supply more details, the United
States may send a fiat ultimatum to
