trrnT to tlie"Amerrcnn embargo as was
Inevitable, but It Isn't tlkt.y to do
them any good. Our Roveniment bun
the facts and figures that Justify Its
course and those neutrals probably
must cease to send supplies to Ger
many. The report of the Hrltlsh admiralty
on submarine activities showed llttlo
chance from that of the previous
week, but the people of England do
not seem satNlled with the way In
which the U-boat problem Is helnjr
handled. They hope for different re
sults under Sir Krlc Geddes, the new
llrst lord of the admiralty. Several big
liners arriving at American ports re
ported having been attacked by sub
marines. In some cases as much us a
thousand miles from the Irish coast.
Several American naval officers of
high rank have been urging President
Wilson to direct the United States
navy to start a vigorous offensive
against Germany by attacking her sub
marine bases In every wny possible.
They admit It would be a gamble ui
to result, but believe the chunce Is
worth taking.
General Pershing's expeditionary
force Is now comfortably established
In Its Intensive training enmp back
of the lines In France, and every man
Is working to the limit to get In snap
for the real conflict. On Thursday
General Slbert Inspected the quarter
and the men, and seemed In the main
very well satlslled.
Suffragists are rejoicing over the
news from Washington. Sixteen of
their mllltnnt sisters were given CO
days In the workhouse for picketing
the White House grounds, hut were
pardoned by President Wilson. Simul
taneously came the report that Mr.
WINon Is seriously contemplating mak
ing woman suffrage an administration
war mf-asure, which might mean that
tin- .'nthony amendment would be
forced through.
MEMHERSIUP CAMPAIGN
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS
Our membership campaign of the
past week was a great success. The
interest shown by business nnd pro
fessional men, and citizens owning
property, goes far to show that Tu
cumcnri realizis that it is impossible
to grow and be up-to-date, without an
organization. Thero are still a few
leading citizens who are not members.
We hope it is not because of a lack of
public spirit or non-progressiveness,
but simply because the Committee
was unable to see them.
It is your duty to see onu of the
Committee and join at once, if you
were out when called upon only a lew
days ago. Once a man was conspic
uous by being a member of the local
organization; but now he is made con
spicuous by his absence. Our organ
ization is no longer a Collecting
Agency but stands only for uie bet
terment of Tucumcari nt large. Get
behind this organization nt once and
do your part for tho city in which you
live.
If you have n matter you wish to
have taken up, see tho Secretary. Al
though he hns a heavy load he is ever
ready to lend a hand to help your city
not only in business lines, but ev
ery lino thnt will make Tucumcnri a
better plnce in which to live.
Wo are glad to see the rnilroud men
coming in, ns it is a Railroad Mnn's
town nnd it is nothing but, right that
thoy should hnvo a voice in all such
matters.

PUBLIC SCHOOLTEACHER'S VIEW.1
A Chicago teacher, writing to the
Illinois Issue, calls attention to out- i
feature of the liquor evil which "edl-!
tors and doctors and reformers over
look," namely, the "Immeasurable
waste In teachers' efforts caused by al
coholism." In regions, she says. ,
"where saloons hnve always been
abundant and conditions of living j
usually because of alcoholism are
had, at least one-third of the aver-1
ago teacher's time Is required to I
merely hold In check and partially de
velop the children of alcoholics. Most
of the abnormal and subnormal chil
dren have alcoholism In their families,
and the sins of the fnther are visited
upon tho children even unto the third
and fourth generation.
"These children hnve one grave fnult
In common. They cannot concentrate
the mind long on nny one Rtibject not
long enough to follow the thought of
the lesson. In some this tnkes the
form of Irritation or rebellion, and In
others there Is the stupor, tho dead
ness, thnt defies the most Interesting
lesson and the most magnetic teacher.
"Of course this waste Is n loss to
the normal pupils, whoso teaching
must lng whllp these weak ones are
Blven special help. If we could elimi
nate wholly the effects of alcoholism,
which would require more thnn one
generation, elementnry educntlon
night easily be accomplished In seven
or even six yenrs Instend of eight
yenrs, as nt present required.
'High school nnd collego teachers
would probnbly not ngree with this
statement, for the simple reason thnt
the descendants of nlcnhollcs seldom
ijet to high school or college."
'UNFITNESS DUE TO ALCOHOL.
According to Lieut. W. Randolph
Angell, U. 8. N. R. F., cxnmlnlng offi
cer of the Boston recru'.tlng Btntlon.
nearly every man falling to pass the
physical examinations on application
for enlistment In the United States
Marine corps Is refused partly because
of conditions directly traceable to the
use of alcohol beforo maturity. The
adrerso effect of even the moderato
nso of Intoxicants are revealed In the
THE TUCUMCARI NEWS
cxnmlhntlo'ns, and Lleutennnt Angell
declares Unit the conditions which
ninke such a state of affairs should be
abolished at once.
THINK OF IT.
The newspnpers lmvo had a great
deal to do with the spread of this wavo
of fnnntlclsm. Ninety-nine per cent of
tho pnpers In the United States have
devoted space to the clamoring of the I
fanatics. Midas' Criterion (Liquor
Journal,) Chlcngo.
AUTHORITATIVE TESTIMONY.
Mayor Speer of Denver, speaking to
.100 lending citizens of that city at n
luncheon, referred to the fnct that
when tho prohibition Issue was before
the people In 10M he voted wet, und
Raid that were It to come up again he
would vote dry. One result o" pro
hibition has been the lowering of the
tax rate. 'There had been n deficit nt
Uie close of the city's business for a
number of yenrs," said the mayor. "I
am glad to report that at tho close of
1010 wo had n cash surplus of $18.r),000,
nnd In addition thereto paid special
Improvement taxes on parks, tire
houses, courthouses, city hall nnd bath
house, to tho amount of $112,000. Wo
also remedied acoustic defects and
decorated tho Auditorium.
"For 1017, city taxes wero lowered
13 per cent or 480,000 less money
will be collected as city taxes this
year than during the previous year.
The success of no city depends upon
tho sale of liquor, nnd Denver today
Is better off than it was when saloons
were running."
WHO IS QUILTYT
Compensation I Yes, wc bellero in
It. Wo published recently an ac
count taken from the Chicago pnpers
of the diabolical cruelties Indicted by
a drink-crazed man on his wlfo and
live helpless children. When the mon
sters who poisoned that man and
turned him loose to work his alcoholic
spite on bis own household have coin
peiiMited that heart-broken wife and
those bruised and bleeding children;
when those monsters have somehow
recovered for that wlfo the love they
have stolen from her; when they hnvo
glvci back to those children .n father
whom they can respect, then wo will
give audience to brewers nnd distillers
while they tall: about compensation.
The American Issue. And the mnn
who votes "wet," whero does he como
In?
THE COUNTRY'S NEED.
"There Is no such thing ns pacifism
now," said William Jennings Hr;nn,
addressing Cornell unlvtrHlty students,
and ho argued for nation-wide prohi
bition on the ground that In this ctishi
our country needs young men with
"clean and quick-thinking brains, men
with steady nerves and muscles."
LIQUID BREAD COSTLY.
"Liquid bread" Is costly. Science
doclnres that "n man would hnvo to
swallow dally 108 glasses of beer at
a cost of J5.10 to supply the umount
of protclds needed, or S2 glasses to
furnish Uie carbohydrates."
Every ll-no lo sell Intoxicating
Hipior that hangs lu t In- win
dow or behind tin bar of an American
saloon today will In- n scrap of paper
In ten years. ( 'Union N, Howard In
tbi' SOSth lecture In his home city,
Itoi-lioMrr, N. Y.
"Regulating the private lives of
other people" Is one nowopnper'N esti
mate of what prohibition alms at. Yet
the same Issue contains an, account of
the shooting up of u neighborhood and
the beating of a defenseless woman by
her drunken husband. Exchange.
"If buttermilk nffected people like
liquor does you'd kill every cow."

War Orders Rushed
THE magnitude of the groat war in which we are now engaged, has neces
sitated unusual preparation. Mighty forces are marshalling, great stores
of food and munitions are being gathered, and the energies of tho nation
are focused on problems incident to the war.
At the very beginning of the war, the whole Bell System was placed at
the disposal of the Government. No nation has entered the war with such a
comprehensive and effioient telephone service.
As our military establishment grows, the demands of the Government
upon the Bell System are bound to increaso and always they must tako prece
dence over all others,
Increased activity in commerce and industry as the result of larger do
mands for food and munitions from our allies and for our own use, means
more need of telephone service by private business.
Bt private business must always be subordinated to the Government service.
Each individual American will co-operate in this patriotic service, and submit
cheerfuly to inconvenience or delay in his telephone service, whon he under
stands how vital it is that Government service shall take precedence over
all else.

COLORED PEOPLE DELIGHTED
WITH NEW DISCOVERY
TO BLEACH THE
SKIN
Atlanta, Gn. Says thnt recent tests
have proven without doubt thnt swnr
thy or sallow complexions can be mndc
light by a new trcntment recently dis
covered by n man in Atlanta. Just
ask your druggist for Cocotone Skin
Whitener. People who hnve used it

Rid your face of that awful dark color
or greasy appearance in a few minutes
It costs so little that you can't a,fford
to be without it. Just think how much
prettier you would look with that old
dark skin gone nnd new soft, light
