The reactionary elements in Great
Britain belonging to those groups
would now arouse antagonism be-
tween the British people against
the United States. Their arguments
are advanced in various forms, but
they might be stated thus:
President Wilson is offering an
unprovoked challenged to Great
Britain by threatening to build a
navy equal to or greater than the
British; he is grossly inconsistent
in urging disarmament while author
izing a program Of naval expansion.
He does not represent American
opinion in dealing with foreign af-
fairs. Through the press they quote
with great emphasis speeches by
distinguished men in then United
States senate opposing President
Wilson on partisan grounds, having
forgotten the ancient senate maxim
that party lines cease at tidewater.
These ingenious arguments are
inadequately answered in the public
press Yet it is vital that they
should not become prejudicial to the
league of nations and injurious to
the conservation of future peace and
the happiness of mankind.
Navy Expansion Natural.
Conversing with some leading
Englishmen, / explained that the
expansion of the American navy is
a natural result of war with the Teu-
tonic powers of the existence of in
ternational anarchy and the lack of
international means for the safe
guarding of world peace. These con-
ditions have clearly compelled each
nation to arm in its own defense,
but the act authorizing the expan-
sion of the American navy contains
provision stopping the program
whenever adequate international pro-
lection has been obtained by in
ternational agreement. further
explained that America, in expand
ing its navy, is simply following
Great Britain's policy; that Ameri-
cas- naval expansion is no more a
threat to Great Britain than Great
Britain's expansion is a threat to
America.

LANE ASKS BIG
RECLAMATION
FUND AT ONCE
Interior Departments Plan
Would Provide Labor for
Thousands Of Men Dis
charged from Army.

Washington, Jan. l0.-Immediate
consideration Of the Interior depart
ments request for $lO0,0O0,00O for
the reclamation and occupation of
2l5,0O0,0OO acres of tillable soil in
this country by returned soldiers,
was asked today by Secretary Lane
at an informal meeting of members
Of congress held in the house cham
Der.
The plan Of the department not
only will provide labor for thous-
ands of men discharged from the
military service, Secretary Lane
said, but will greatly increase the
resources of the nation. Briefly, the
program contemplates that dis
charged soldiers be employed at cur
rent wages on vast reclamation
schemes in many states, and that
they be permitted later to select a
section of the reclaimed land for
farming purposes, the government
furnishing money to pay for the
cost of development. This money,
together with the full cost of the
land and interest, would later be re-
turned to the government.
THE project will not cost the gov
eminent a penny" Secretary Lane
said. Full payment for the land
will be made within 40 years"
Necessity for haste in making the
appropriation was emphasized by
Secretary Lane. Soldiers are being
discharged from the service at the
rate Of thousands day, he said, and
provision for employing them should
be made soon.

Moreover / explained that Ameri-
ca had agreed with Great Britain
en- two occasions at The Hague
in urging disarmament and that, if
inconsistency existed between the
two policies this inconsistency was
as much British as American, but
that there was no inconsistency in
fact. .-
| asked them to remember that
naval expansion was inevitable un-
der the old rule of individual ma
tional force, while disarmament is
the actual sequence of international
protection by a league of nations or
of a mutual understanding limiting
ornaments.
Similar Aspirations.
In foreign affairs when seeking
to establish league OF nations and
a method of universal disarmament
and maintenance of world peace by
a world agreement, / insisted that
President Wilson did represent the
overwhelming desires of the Ameri-
can people who want neither to kill
others nor to be killed by others;
that the American people are just
like the British in desiring to de-
yelop their internal affairs and en-
joy domestic life peacefully in pros
perity and happiness and that if the
leaders of public opinion respond to
the desires of the common people
who must face death on the battle
field, they will make effective this
aspiration of human hearts every
where. MI
II the leaders at the peace con-
ference find difficulty in reconciling
their views on these fundamental
points and in agreeing upon a
league of nations, with the views Of
the people of the United States,
Great Britain and other nations, it
will be because those leaders are
blinded by the vision of many years
in the past when they unavoidably
thought in terms of Notifications,
military and naval power and of
force rather than reliance upon the
tremendous spiritual forces which
move mems hearts.

ALL TOWNS ALONG
LINE OUT OF COAL

How is your coal bin? II it is not
full you had better be getting on the
good side Of a neighbor who has a
full one. Clovis is out Of coal and
the coal miners are not digging coal
very fast these days. The last coal
was sold from the different coal deal
ers in Clovis today and this town had
some a good while after Portales,
Texico and Hereford were out on
account Of the large supply carried
by the local dealers here. For the
last week there has been a steady
stream Of wagons loading as fast
as they could get it up to the
bins and Of course the dealers are
not able to get a further supply now
until things loosen up for every cal
Of coal that leaves the mines, no mat.
ter to whom it is consigned is con,
fiscated for railroad use.
There Of course is no knowing just
how long the present coal shortage
will last. The best thing the peopl,
can do while the weather is mild is tC
use oil heaters and cook as far as pos
sible with oil.

NEW OIL FIELD
MAY BE OPENED

The Kemp-Munger-Allen well, nine
miles south Of Iowa Park, Wichita
county is reported in and flowing
1000 barrels, estimated production
according to authoritive advices from
Wichita Falls Tuesday.
The we'll was cleaned out Monday
night and blowed itself in at noon
Tuesday, the report states. Various
estimates are made Of the production
ranging from 1000 to 5000 barrels.
If It proves a steady producer, this
we'll will open a new pool in Wichita
county and stimulate development IN
territory around Iowa Park.
The -Munger-Allen well was
drilled by a Wichita Falls company,
Of which ]. A. Kemp, one of the lead
ing oil men of the district, is presi-
dent.
After showing considerable oil two
weeks ago, water appeared in the
hole fnd shut off the oil. Conflicting
reports have been issued regarding
tho operation since then, though ] A.
Kemp has always maintained that
the well would produce oil.
Monday II was stated there was
t.5O0 feet Of oil IN the hole.--E'ort

EVERYBODY AFTER OIL

With approximately thirty test
wells being drilled and many others
locations made, 1t appears that some
body Is to give the Panhandle country
thorough test for oil. Ten years
ago it is doubtful II a man could
have been found who would have
spent money drilling a test well In
this section. Today hundreds Of men
are interested in the field and feel
sure that IN time one of the greatest
oil fields in the country will be open
ed up here. Gas has been found in
abundant quantities, and If oil is
never found the wells have made it
possible for persons in this section to
secure cheap fuel. The gas is good,
but everybody wants oil too.-Amar-

first number but just as good and
met with just as hearty approval from
the audience. There was a larger
crowd out than attended the first
number which attested to the fact
that these high class dramatic pro-
ductiOns are being appreciated by the
Clovis people. Every actor in the
company was an artist and everyone
in the audience was constantly in
doubt as to "Who Killed Wales?" up
until the climax of the play.
The next number will be "Cheat-
ing Cheaters," on January End.

WANTS TO CHANGE

The Railway Journal, published at
Chicago in its November issue says;
No greater memorial for this great
man than to name a state after him,
and would suggest that we change the
name Of the state of New Mexico to
that of Roosevelt" The name Of
Mexico has become distasteful to us
anyway, and it should be changed
from any association or title of any
of our commonwealths. Furthermore
II was in that state, we believe, that
Mr.. Roosevelt went to secure many
Of his regiment at the outbreak Of the
Spanish-American war. Any state or
city will be honoring itself by thus
hOnoring that great statesman in
adopting his name as its own.
