U. s SOLDIERS ON RHINE FIRM
FOR WILSON POLICIES

Coblenz, Feb. l9.-The American
Army of occupation is beginning to
sit up and take notice Of the doings at
the peace conference, since its own
special interest in getting home in the
quickest possible time seems to the
army to be intimately affected by every
petty Paris motive for procrastina-
ton.
The army Of occupation is thinking
and talking foreign politics in un-
printable terms, and is leaving no
doubt in its hearers minds that the
army maintains its Americanism 100
per cent pure and uninfluenced by
propaganda from any source. Careful
sounding of opinion in the army war
rants the conclusion that the troops
are squarely behind President Wilson
in the conference negotiations
"Wilson knows what he's doing" is
typical opinion heard today, and
They won't put anything over on
Wilson," is another. Army peace con-
ference fans are playing no favorites
except their own country. While the
sole burning desire to get home quick
lilt army - III NO HlOOu W compromise
with any nations selfish interests, par
ticularly as ii is imbued with vivid
consciousness of Americas disinter-
estedness.
"The army wants to see just peace
prevail speedily, and pungent opinions
are expressed about statesmen and
diplomats who attempt to hold up the
peace express with clashing claims of
special interests. The army of oc-
cupation has its ear to the ground and
catches the faintest thought provoking
echo from Paris, while the slightest
change in any nations attitude toward
America and Americans is quick to
reach the Rhine front and mould pub
lie opinion of doughboys and officers
alike.
How closely the men of the third
army are following the doings behind
the scenes of the peace conference is
illustrated by an unfounded rumor, APP
parently bred by reports of fresh ar
mistice negotiations, TO the effect that
all combat divisions which were sched-
uled to go home in the near future
would he held here indefinitely. Moth
ing official is known here, of course, OF
any orders countermanding prepara-
tions for taking home the fortunate
combat divisions which, it has been
believed, would be the first in line to
move.

POLITICAL NOTES FROM CAPITOL

ACCORDING 10 pOIltlclanS IN the cap
ital city highly reggettable chapter
has been added to the political history
of New Mexico by the action of the
Senate on last Tuesday when the lat
ter body through its Republican men,
bers ousted Senator Isaac Barth of
Bernalillo county through a so-called
political chicanery.
Senator Barth's seat was contested
by w. ii. Chrisman who claimed his
seat on the ground that several votes
which were cast for Barth in the elec.
ton was forced from Barth to Chris
man. In one of the most mastery
speeches ever heard in Santa Fe Sen
ator Barth arraigned the Republican
party for its action in ousting him
heaping upon the majority members
the responsibility of mourning state
of affairs in New Mexico, which, the
Senator stated, was akin to that of the
terror-raisers of Europe who were
causing such deplorable condition to
face the world
1t it reported in Santa Fe that upon
the appearance Of the bi-lingual bill
zolo will address both houses in sup.
port of the educational legislation
which composes major portion OF
his message. 1t 10 stated the evident
increase in opposition to the measure
among the legislators has occasioned u
fear on the part of the executive that
the compulsory Spanish Law may fail
to carry. One thing seems certain
and that is that the Democratic mem.
bers of the legislature are not to stand
alone in opposing the compulsory
Spanish bill, nor the other educational
measures that have aroused so much
animosity over the state.
The first step toward lifting the liz
on the ballot granting equal suffrage
to women of New Mexico found in
ception in the legislature this week
when measure was introduced from
the Democratic ranks extending to tn,
women an equal franchise at all elec
tions 1t is commonly known that {
strong opposition to the suffrage
amendment bill will be exerted by the
Spanish American members of the Re
publican majority, in spite of the fac
that the latter's platform contains
that plank.
The bill providing for equal suf
rage will doubtless appear in the low
er House on its third reading for eithel
passage or rejection the latter par
of the week. Democratic members o.
the lower house stand perhaps withou
an exception strongly in favor of suff
rage and upon its temperance from
committee channels, il is said, thu
Democratic members will endeavor t
place that body on record either fo
the adoption and passage of the bill
or its rejection, the latter of whicl
would heap much accountability on thu
opposition.
In every legislature there must b'
some one TO furnish the comic relief
and in the present session Andres Me
dina of Mora county is continually add
ing to the gayety of nations. Medina
latest effusion is bill to provide tina
persons who want to secure divorc,
