New Mexico Wonder.

One of the natural wonders Of New
Mexico is the AlamOgordo, or Tula-
rosa, desert. 1t is sandy plain, meass
uring from 100 to 125 miles from
eOrth to south and from 35 TO so miles
from east to west, and it represents,
In the opinion of many authorities, the
upper surface of gigantic block of
the earth's crust that sank after the
deposition of the cretaceOus strata. It
Is surrounded by an elevated border,
and on the east, especially, the cliffs
rise sheer to a height of 1000 feet.
The curious Organ mountains are on
It's southern border. Within the plain,
where floods Of lava once swelled up,
are vast deposits of gypsum, which
forms as white as snow, which the
wind drives into vast drifts. The vege-

They met a general known as a
Tartar. He ordered his adiutant to
pick out at random six men and a
corporal and have them shot at once
as an example.
Waterloo was one of the sacrifi-
cial victims. When the volley was
fired, he dropped with his comrades.
When night fell, he realized that
he had not even been wounded.
But his hair had turned white in
a fe whours. He made his way to
the nearest regiment, which hap
pened to be the 233d, and told his
story TO the colonel, who happened
to be humane man.
He did not give Waterloo up to

The case Of Waterloo and his six
comrades has now been submitted
to the court of appeals at Douai and
the league is asking for their sol

This same court the other day re-

in the great retreat, and in the bat
tie of the Marine.
On the night of Sept. 80, l91 T.,
his company was in reserve in Gem

Justice Being Sought By Rela-

Trial During War

PARIS, July 22,-Judgments Of
the dead:
Courts hearing cases concerning
those who have passed on, in stead
of those who are still alive;
These are the things that are
wringing the hearts of patriotic
Frenchmen today and making them
realize once more what an inferno
war is and how much grevious
wrong it brings about.
For these judgments of the dead,
handed down by the courts, are in
tended to reinstate dead men and
restore to them their honor, their
decent name-often the only herit-
age they had to leave to their FAM
ly.
Here's what it's all about; often
during the war soldiers were exc
Cuted out of hand.
In moments Of crisis, summary
judgments were handed down with
out even the form of a trial. And
the dead were often only reported to
their despairing families as-"miss-

1t became a sinister word. 1t COW
cred so many tragedies.
But there happens to be in France
La Ligue des Droits de l'TIomme-
the League of Human Rights -
which was formed during the mar
tyrdom of Captain Dreyfus. 1t Is
always fighting to redress judicial
tyrannies.
And one Of the jobs it has set for
itself has been to restore the repu-
tation of men wrongfully blasted.
Some of these stories beat fiction
ali to pieces. There is the case Of
Francois Waterloo, for instance,
known in French annals as the Civ
ing dead man."
Waterloo was a miner in northern
France. He was modified on Aug.
3. 1914, and late that day, all-alone,
his wife gave birth to their first
child.
Waterlot's regiment, the 327th,
took part in all the battles in the
north and also in the great retreat.
For three days they had marched
without rest, without food, without

Suddenly they were attacked by
