One Of the most terrible tragedies

being enacted within the broad belt Of
territory lying between the Baltic and
the Black Sea and Adriatic Seas.
This area includes the new Baltic
states-Poland, Czecho Slovakia, the
Ukraine, Austria. Hungary, Roumania,
Montenegro, Albania and Serbia.
The reports which come to us make
It clear that in these war-ravaged
lands civilization has broken down.
Disease, bereavment and suffering are
present in practically every household,
while food and clothing are insufficient
to make life tolerable.
Men, women and children are dying
by thousands, and over vast once
civilized areas there are to be found
neither medicinal appliances nor med
ical skill sufficient to cope with the
devastating plaques.
Wholesale starvation Is threatened
in Poland this summer unless she can
procure food supplies In large quanti-
ties There are now approximately
100000 cases of typhus in Poland and
in the area occupied by Polish troops.
Worst Typhus Epidemic In History.
This is already one of the worst
typhus epidemics in the worlds his
tory. In Galicia whole towns are
crippled and business suspended. In
some districts there is but one doctor
to each 100000 people.
In the Ukraine we were told, typhus
and influenza have affected most of
the population.

are 100000 workers idle.
Typhus and smallpox have invaded
the four countries composing Czecho-

In Serbia typhus has broken out

visit in Lincoln was New Years re-
ception this afternoon by the local
Woman's Relief Corps. There were
no formal addresses, but General
Pershing thanked the women for the

proved of service, and he spoke in
appreciation of the loyalty and devo-
ton of the relief corps members dur

General Pershing was the guest of

McKelvie at their home. Covers were

Tonight General Pershing was ten

Being desirous of acquainting its
readers with the opinions of leading
New MeXicans regarding the outlook
for 1920, both in the state and in the
nation, the Journal has gone TO con-
siderable trouble to obtain statements
from a number of them giving their
views of what lies before us during
the next twelve months. These state
ments cover the political, financial,
mining, religious. educational. sheep
and wool and general business pros
poets.
Practically all the men from whom
statements were received take an OPP
timistic view of the situation and be-
lieve that 1920 is going to be the best
year the country has ever experienced
and that our present prosperity will
not only continue but even increase.
However, some of the men urge that
we use caution and even predict that
we may experience a setback this
year. This is particularly true of
Levi A. Hughes, president of the
First National bank of Santa ITe, one
of the leading financial men in the
state He takes the position that eX-
listing prices of all commodities, in
Guiding labor, must recede and when
this reaction sets in we are certain to
have business failures. He predicts,
however, that this will be blessing IN
disguise. for ''it will bring our heads
out of the clouds and our feet to the
ground"
A statement was requested from
Senator A. B. FAN, but we were adj
vised that he could not be located.
Governor o. A. Larrazolo was also re-
quested to contribute a statement, but
he did not return from Las Vegas
where he spent Christmas, until early
this week. and business matters made
1t impossible for him to comply with
our request.
Due to the numerous statements
and the length of some of them 1T was
impossible to print all of them in this
edition of the Journal. The others

.CEOCRAP PHY NOT
MUCH CHANGED BY
RESUL IS Of WAR

ST. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 1.-The teaching
of geography in the schools will not
be revolutioniZed nor materially
changed by the shifting boundary lines
OF Europeah countries resulting from
the world var and the formation OF
new nations, in the opinion Of DR..
Mendel L. Branom of Harris Teach
ers' college, st. Louis, speaking today
before the American Association of
Georgraphers at the convention of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science.
1T is entirely erroneous for the
people TO believe that geography will
be greatly changed by the war" said
Professor Branom. "The principles of
geography will remain the same, re-
gardless of the changes in boundaries.
The people of the sandy plains will go
right along raising beets, the same as
before the war. The climates will not
change. The people will be the same
and they will speak the same Ian
guages. A few arbitrary boundary
lines will be rearranged but that will
not affect the study of peoples, re-
sources and customs. We now think
in regions rather than in political
boundary lines and the new alignment
will apply only to descriptive geogra-
ply and not to physical geography"
The speaker said that originally the
Singing method" was used in teach
ing geography eiich as From Calais
to Dover is twenty-eig miles over"
This. he said, was succeeded by the
descriptive method by which bounda-
aries of countries was considered the
important part of the lesson. This in
turn, he claimed, has been succeeded
by the interpretive style of teaching.
The surprising speed in which is
lands form in rivers when distractions
deflect the current in the channels was
discussed scientists at joint session
of the Geological Society of America
and the Botanical Society of America,
c. A. Shull of the University of
Kentucky, told of the formation of an
island in the Mississippi river in the
last six years. which was started by a
barge which stranded on rock almost
opposite Columbus, KY, in the great
flood of 1915 The island is now more
than one half mile in length and one
eighth of mile wide and has an area
of fifty acres.
The surface area of the island now
stands high enough to require a 4S-
foot stage of water to inundate 1t, and
is covered with very fine growth of
cottonwood trees. professor Shull said.

CONSTRUCTION Of
RAILROADS NEARLY
NOTHING FOR 1918
Railway Age Gives Facts and
Figures Showing Transpor-
tation Lines Almost At a
StandStill.


Chicago, Jan. 1,--Statistics COM
piled by the Railway Age show that
the year 1920 begins with the devel-
cpment of the railways of the United
States nearer complete stahdstill
than at any time since the first rail
was laid in America,
In the year 1913" says the Rail-
way Age. "the total mileage of new
lines built in the United States was
CSC miles, the smallest figure ever
recorded by this paper. Furthermore.
il does not represent a net increase in
mileage, During the year $50 miles
of main line railway were abandoned
for operation. Prior to the year 1915
the mileage of the country was stead
lily increasing, although the rate at
which it was Increasing had been di-
minishing for some years and espec-
tally since 1910. The available sta
tistics Indicate that since 1916 the
mileage abandoned has been sub
stantally greater than the new mile
age built. During the three years
from 1917 to 1919 inclusive. our sta
tistics indicate that operation was
abandoned on 1919 miles of line while
il the same period only 2,3S6 miles
VI CALtllSlpilSs bldHGil ana OlItT new
lines were completed Thus it ap-
pears that during the last three years
there has been an actual decrease of
9S3 miles in the mileage of railways
operated in the United States.
"The statistics regarding the num-
bers of locomotives and cars ordered
make some striking new records. I'm
til this year the smallest number of
freight cars ordered in any year for
the railways of the United States since
1901 was 62.669, this being the num-
ber being ordered in 1908. In the
year 1919 the number OF freight cars
ordered was only 81 1884 and nearly all
these orders were placed by private
car lines is shown thai by the fact
that 14S95 of the total orders were
for tank cars.
"The number of freight cars built
for use on United States railways was
much more satisfactory, being 100-
416. The result, of course of the
number of freight cars built so far ex-
ceeding the number ordered is that at
the end of the year the car builders
have almost no orders for American
railways left on their books.
THE number of locomotives order
ed was PA and most of these were
ordered by industrial roads"

papers received here from Saltillo
Mexico, say that President Carranza
of Mexico has ordered the removal of
Gen. Francisco Murguia from com
mand of the federal troops in Goa
hula and has sent Gen. Manuel

was ordered. it is said. because Muir
guia failed to engage Villa in battle

know Murguia say that he will not
relnquish his command at Carranza,s

EDUCATIONAL
(John Milne. superintendent Albu-
uueruue SchoOlS.)

VI
The outlook from the standpoint OF
education in Albuquerque for the year
1920, indicates continuation of the
spirit that has prevailed in the past
"a spirit that has demanded and sup
ported an educational system that
ranks with the best in the country.
Albhquerque's schools, like many
others over the United States. are Woe
fully overcrowded and in many cases
improperly housed. That this matter
will be set right by the authorization
of the school bonds on January ~
there is but little doubt
The slogan of the board of education
is: make an education possible for all
people who desire It. To put this slo-
gan into actual operation there has
been provided a regular nine-month
term, a ten-week summer term and
free night school for adults. The com
bined enrolment will reach 5000 this
year.
All that one needs to get an educa-
tion in Albuquerque is the desire. The
public schools will do the rest.
With continuation of the royal
support given to education by the cit
liens OF Albuquerque, the schools will
contiue to be one of the city's chief
assets.
(John II. Vaughan, dean of general
Science, AS NJ. college. State Coliege)
This is the biggest year in the his
tory of the agricultural college. Four
hundred and thirty-one students were
in attendance during the first term,
which closed December 10. The en-
trance of new students for the second
and third terms win carry the year
enrolment to between four hundred
and fifty and five hundred, if housing
room can be provided. Scientific ag-
riculture and animal husbandry, en-
gineering, home economics, auto me-
chanics, and commercial subjects are
the big things on which the school Is
concentrating, it's energies. And the
work of the year is going, forward
with unusual enthusiasm and success.

Normal School)

The year 1919 has been an eXcep-
! tionally good one for the New Mex
| leo state normal school. 1t has been
good viewed from the standpoint of
service to the state, the quality of the
work done by the individual pupil
and also by the strengthening and de-
velopment of the courses offered.
The attendance during the summer
session of 1919, was the largest in the
history of the school, and the attend
ance during the fall term of 1919 is
so per cent larger than during the
fall term, 1918. The administration
and faculty of the New Mexico state
normal school look forward with
pleasure to the year 1920 as giving
them through the school the oppor-
tunity to serve the state in Il larger
way than has ever been done in the
past.
The board of regents at a recent
meeting voted to buy added physical
training equipment, and to strengthen
the manual training department by
adding new machines, together with
new equipment for strengthening the
other departments 1t is the policy of
the administration to strengthen the
courses already offered and to meet
any justified demand on the part of
the state, together with making the
normal school at Silver City leader
in the educational policies Of the
state.
The new attitude which is being
taken toward education by the citizens
of America and especially by the cit
izens of New Mexico, will make teach
ing a real profession. In order that
