LAST SOLDIER TO QUIT
FRANCE BY AUTUMN

Secretary Baker announces that by
August the last man Of the American
expeditionary forces will have been
withdrawn from France. He said this
estimate was based on the movement
of 5000 men month to the United
States.
Already, Mr., Baker said, the Amer
lean forces in France have been di-
vorced from the army Of occupation.
Plans have been completed to supply
the force in Germany through the
port of Antwerp and Rotterdam, re-
moving the necessity for maintaining
the T00-mile line of communication
from Brest. The French ports will be
maintained, however, for the with
drawal of the American expeditionary
force.
More than half of the expeditions
ary force has now left France, Mr..
Baker said, and as the withdrawal
progresses facilities which were used
for those forces are being turned
back, either to private owners or to
the municipalities to which they be-
longed.

VICTORY LOAN SALES
AMOUNT TO s135,3O0

.The Victory Loan drive in Curry
County resulted in the subscription OF
$1S5,3OO while our quota was only
$113,900, the oversubscription
amounting to in the neighborhood Of
twenty per cent. AS far as the News
has heard, Curry was the first county
in the state to go over the top in its
subscription. $6S,000 worth of the
bonds sold in the county were sub
scribed for by the Santa Fe en-
ployees, while $4,000 were bought
through the banks of the county by
people who were not employed by the
railroad company. Particular credit
is due the Santa Fe boys in Clovis,
for they did more than their share to-
ward putting over the loan.

Lloyd George Seeks
Solution to Labor
Troubles i'm Britain

LONDON, Feb. 9.-Premier Lloyd
George, who returned from Paris last
night, was engaged early this morning
in discussing the labor troubles in the
United Kingdom with the Cabinet Min
istcrs and Board Of Trade officials
Many meetings Of railway workers were
in progress during the day for the dis
cussion of labor questions from the
rational standpoint.
Immediately upon the return of Ar
thur Henderson from tie continent, q
joint meeting will be held of the Labor
party and Trades Union Parliamentary
Committee and other interested bodies
to discuss the entire situation.
At big meeting of the railway men
held in the Euston Theatre to-day
James Henry Thomas, Labor Member
of Parliament and secretary of the
National Union of Railwaymen, made
strong appeal to the Laborites to
keep the labor movement on constitu-
tional lines.
The workmen, Mr.. Thomas said, had
to consider that their duty to citizen
ship had stronger claim than sec
tional interests; if they achieved their
object at the expense of the state they
would be destroying their claim to
citizenship.
Full application of the agreement for
an eight-hour day, Mr.. Thomas con-
tinued, necessitated the release of at
least $4,000 railway men from the
army. but rehabilitation of the army
now depended upon the railway operat-
ing corps. If that corps were demo-
b]izcd, as was demanded. the troops
