THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO AND NEW MEXICO ANNUAL To the General Guy V. Henry, Navy Union, Washington A Good ANNUAL SERMON To the General Guy V. Henry, Garrison No. 9, Army and Navy Union, Washington, D.C. "I Have Fought A Good Fight" (Jenathan Cover) In accordance with long established custom a few Sunday evenings ago, the General Guy V. Henry Garrison, No. 9, Army and Navy Union, with the Julia Mc N. Henry Auxiliary, No. 2, assembled at a local church for its annual sermon. The pastor took for his text, "I have Fought a Good Fight," and tho making it apply to men and women who are consistently dutiful and courageous in every department of human activity, interpreted it as especially descriptive of the work of Negro soldiers. lives to uphold its flag and its honor as a willing sacrifice. And as I rode along, guiding my horse this way and that, lest his hoofs should profane what I considered the sacred dead and as I looked at their bronzed faces upturned in the shining sun, as if in mute appeal against the wrongs of the country for which they had given their lives and whose flag had been to them a flag of stripes in which no star of glory had ever shone for them—feeling I had wronged them in the past and believing what was the future duty of my country to them—I swore The pastor's tribute was a most happy one and was just and most appropriate since he was talking to a veteran organization composed of honorably discharged soldiers and sailors of the United States and their auxiliary made up of the wives, daughters, widows, sisters and mothers of such men. These know that the War of the Revolution was fought and won with the aid of many noble Negro patriots, who in that early day, no less than now, felt their hearts swell with pride of race and country and that their bravery and devotion could only be checked when the fleeting sands in the hour glass of time had ceased to flow.. So at New Orleans where General Jackson must have found abundand cause for congratulation and praise on his black troops for he said, "From the shores of Mobile I have called you to arms. I wanted you to share in the perils and to divide the glory of your white countrymen. I expected much of you, but you surpass my hopes." The story of the Negroes' participation in the Civil War, or more accurately expressed, the War of the Rebellion, is rich with incidents of heroism and matchless valor. One cannot recall Fort Wagner, Olustee, Millikens Bend, Port Hudson and Fort Pillow without according the Negro soldier an honored place in the front rank of American patriots. It was the rugge. old Rebel fighter General B. F. Butler, who, when in Congress gave the Negro soldier most valuable praise and who during the debate on the Civil Rights Bill, made a most eloquent appeal in his behalf. He said: "There, in a space not wider than the clerks desk and three hundred yards long lay the dead bodies of five hundred forty-three of my colored comrades, slain in the defense of their country, who had laid down their V01.

And as I rode along, guiding my horse this way and that, lest his hoofs should profane what I considered the sacred dead, and as I looked at their bronzed faces upturned in the shining sun, as if in mute appeal against the wrongs of the country for which they had given their lives and whose flag had been to them a flag of stripes in which no star of glory had ever shone for them—feeling I had wronged them in the past and believing what was the future duty of my country to them—I swore to my-self a solemn oath, "May my right hand forget its cunning and my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if ever I fail to defend the rights of the men who have given their blood for men and my country this day and for their race forever. And God helping me, I will keep that oath." And so in the Spanish War at El Caney and San Juan Hill, by signal courage and valorous deeds the Negro soldier cast a halo of imperishable glory over the armed forces of America and preserved to the country's service the life of one who was to be a future President. And now comes the marvelous action of the Tenth Calvary at Carrizal, Mexico. The stage had been set for a repitition of the lamentable Custer massacre at the Little Big Horn; a second Alamo. There on the open sands, exposed on all sides and advancing, on an invitation for a friendly parley, these eighty troopers were subjected to a merciless machine-gun fire and the bullets from several hundred Carranza rifles, deployed in cowardly ambuscade. Sergeant Sam Harris says, "They shot Hell out of us, but we got them too." Truly the wonder is that there were any left to tell the tale, but in the days that are to come, some darkskined Virgil will sing another story of "Arms and the Man" and will symbolize in an Epic that shall be imperishable, "the brave troopers of the Tenth at Carrizal." Thus in all the wars and in all the battles in which Negro troops have been engaged, the language of the text "I have fought a good fight," has been gloriously vindicated. Yet, in view of all this, the assertion was made a few weeks ago on the floor of the United States Senate, that the Negro should only be allowed in the Army as a menial and if the speak- DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. JULY 15. 1916 State Hist & Nat Hist Biosci State House RADC THE JOURNAL G, MONTAN DENVER COLORADO er had his way they would only be there as servants. It is almost unbelievable that any man who knows anything of the brilliant record of Negro soldiers could have voiced so cruel, untrue and unjust a sentiment. Yet this came from the lips of one who holds a commission from a sovereign American constituency; one who prides himself on his culture and accomplishments; one who boasts of his proud Americanism. Surely such an one is acquainted with the potent facts of our history. Ah! yes, but neither truth, facts nor justice are permitted to thwart the purposes of violent prejudice and unreasonable hate and so, in the face of heroic service, whose climax was a cruel martyrdom at Carrizal, the old spirit of reaction; the old Cause of Rebellion, boldly lifts its voice to inspire and stimulate in the Congress of the Nation a doctrine of racial hate and repression against a class that yields preeminence to none for the elements of original Americanism, unbridled loyalty and a patriotism that has stood for fifty years the soul-crushing tests of a continued and persistent civic mistreatment. But the time is come when such utterances should receive their merited rebuke, no matter how high and proud and influential the offender. It is the duty of all true Americans to banish the caste-ridden standard of false Americanism, for just as each color of the nation's flag contributes equally to the power of its symbolism and attracts its share of love and respect, just as insistently does the Negro deserve and demand, an equitable share of the privileges and benefits which adhere of right to the other descendants of the Founders of our Great Republic. HONESTY IN ADVERTISING In addressing the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, at Philadelphia last week, President Wilson told the members he understood they had banded themselves together in the interest of candor and truth in advertising and complimented them upon the part they were playing in establishing and maintaining ideals in business. The Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, standing for truth in advertising, is an organized manifestation of a somewhat remarkable change that has come about in the publicity business in the last quarter of a century. P. T. Barnum was too smart a man ever to have said for publication anyway, that the public like to be humbugged. The fact remains that for many years the public did stand for being humbugged by advertisers. Nor was the humbugging confined to the circus business. But the public eventually rebelled and rebelled in a way best calculated to bring advertisers to their senses. It gradually refused to respond to dishonest advertising, and advertisers gradually came to see that honesty in advertising was good business and dishonesty in advertising was bad business. Nowadays advertisers talk more about quality than they do about price. The use of the exclamation point is not so common. There is more calm, business-like argument and less bombast and sensationalism. Only now and then does a merchant claim to be selling goods for less than they cost him. The public has come to realize that no one can sell goods at a loss as a regular pastime and remain in business. What the buyer seeks nowadays is service on the part of the seller and durability in the goods for which he pays his money. Not that the day of the bargain is past, but nowadays an advertised bargain is pretty apt to turn out to be a real bargain. Because advertisers are more conservative in their claims than they used to be, the buying public has come to put more confidence in what they say and to respond with more enthusiasm to their announcements. On the other hand, the old-fashioned advertisers went through the same experience through which the boy of the fable went when he called "Wolf!" He turned in so many false alarms and so often disappointed the public that when he really did have a good thing in the way of a bargain he could not attract any attention with it. It is a good thing all around that the change has come about. Dishonest advertising is only one form of graft. and whenever a business man indulges in it it is at the expense of his self-respect. The modern idea of merchandising is to regard a customer as a friend whose confidence is to be won and returned rather than as a victim to be fleeced. The better the service that is given him the more likely he is to come back to distribute more of his favor with the store that has treated him well. It is with the store in which he has confidence that he will prefer to trade, and one of the surest ways of enlisting a customer's confidence is through advertising columns which admit of no statement that will not stand the test for honesty.—Nashville Globe. REPUBLICAN STATE Philip B. Stewart, chairman of the Republican state central committee, and John F. Vivian, secretary, acting on instructions from the members of the committee, have set August 10 as the date of the meeting of the Republican state assembly. The convention will be held in Denver. It will place in nomination six presidential electors, and candidates for the following state offices: Governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, treasurer, auditor, attorney general, superintendent of public instruction, and regents of the University of Colorado. The assembly will consist of two delegates-at-large from each county and one delegate for each 200 votes cast for Governor Carlson at the last general election. Credentials of all delegates should be mailed to the state secretary in Denver. The candidates placed in nomination by the assembly will be voted upon at the primaries, which will be held not less than thirty and not more than sixty days after the assembly. RACE NEWS Jacksonville, Fla.—A movement to celebrate the 300th year of the advent of the Negro into this country was organized November 1, 1915, incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida with home office in Jacksonville, Duval county. The object of this association is to promote a celebration in 1919 commemorating the advent of the Negro in this country. Mt. Gretna, Pa.—Twenty-five Negro cooks employed in the commissary department of the Third Brigade, Pa. N.G., mobilizing here for service in Mexico, have been discharged. Some of the men have been in the employ of the National Guard for many years. It is alleged that orders for this action came from the War Department at Washington. It can only be surmised that this action is the result of prejudice. There is some question as to whether the order emanated from Washington, as it is contrary to the spirit and letter of the law. WHITE DESERTERS COMMAND MEXICANS. El Paso, Tex.—Private Wm. Givins, Troop K, Tenth calvary, states that the commander of a detachment of Mexicans at the Carrizal fight was a former soldier of the Twentieth U. S. Infantry. Givens was among the captured troopers at Carrizal and the prisoners were put in charge of the company commanded by this American. Givens said he asked the man if he had not been at Columbus, N. M., with the Twentieth Infantry, and the white American admitted that he had deserted at Columbus. Givens stated that he had heard of other white Americans with the Carranza forces. Philadelphia, Pa.—Records kept by only one organization in this city show that Negro contractors have handled in Philadelphia during the past two years more than $150,000 in contracts. This by no means represents the volume of work done by Negro workmen, but is simply the amount of contracts given to Negro contractors, who were meeting in open competition the most successful contractors of the white race. Many thousands of dollars paid to Negro workmen cannot be included in this total because the workmen individually secure employment from other sources than from the Negro contractor. Last year Negro contractors, on work that came through the offices of NO 48 the Armstrong Association of Philadelphia alone, carried out contracts to the amount of $65,000. Already this year, however, the figures have reached $85,000. The largest single item totalled $17,000, but a large dairy plant now being figured on will cost approximately $30,000, and other business operations will aggregate more than $50,000. Reference is made to the fact that in 1913 the buildings of the Emancipation Exposition, entailing an outlay of $50,000 were erected in the remarkable time of forty-four days, the work being handled by a Negro contractor. The Armstrong Association, through which these contracts were secured, has offices at Fourth and Chestnut streets, and at 1519 Lombard street. John T. Emlen is the secretary and trasurer, and A. L. Manley is the industrial secretary. BE MANLY The other day we heard a young man say that he was not going to give his seat to a white woman, no matter what the conditions were. We were very sorry to hear such an expression, coming as it did from one who has had the advantages of education and travel. He should respect womanhood, no matter what the color, else he makes the same mistake that the white people are making in respect to us. There is no doubt that politeness pays and the sooner young America, black and white, finds this out, the better it will be for him. Suppose Lincoln had felt indifferent or careless, nay, even glad when he saw that black mother and child on the block when he made that memorable trip to New Orleans? The best people in both races are interested in men and women, not dresses and trousers, and manners is simply the expression of manhood and womanhood. So we would advise this young man to keep on being polite, and if he chances to run across a snob, let him remember that that is the common thick and thin of the world. The banker, the ticket agent, the school teacher, the doctor, in fact people in all walks of life can tell true stories of rudeness and impoliteness that happen to them every day. Some people are snobs because they have not been taught any better; some are snippish because they think it looks like the "upper ten." Then there are some who, ar so, just because they are plain fools and always will be. But that ought not to deter anyone from doing that which he knows to be decent and right, especially the ordinary civilities that make life pleasant.—Wisconsin Weekly Blade.

RECOGNIZED BY THE RETAIL ASSOCIATION OF THE DENVER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM OF THE FIRST CLASS. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE AND EDUCATION CONGRESS The annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, to be held in Kansas City, Missouri, August 16-18, 1916, promises to give startling revelations of the persistent efforts and successful results of our business men and women throughout this country, which will lend encouragement and give great inspiration to the race in its "onward and upward" movement. Delegates to this convention will be amply rewarded if a little sacrifice is made to attend this meeting which will be equal to the value of a lifetime. The opportunity to hear from the lips of individuals, and the experience business men will give in overcoming the difficulties that beset them and the struggles to acquire business acumen so as to place them in a position meriting recognition should never be missed. The same must be said of the Education Congress, which meets in Washington, D. C., August 23-26, when the Negroes of America will again show their loyalty as American citizens in returning thanks for the educational benefits received and the proof of a further reduction of illiteracy among the people of our race. These very important events ought surely to impress not only delegates but true lovers and sympathizers with the Negro's cause, and as many persons as can be present should endeavor to be eye witnesses of the proceedings of these institutions which we hope will be perpetuated as is the belief of Our Great Republic. A PRINCIPLE THAT NEVER FAILS In offering a reminder to the people of Colorado on the primary election for state officials, there are certain facts to be presented which demand a clearness of brain and thought that will not place us on the brink of the precipice with no way to turn, but open a way of egress from the political complications that have been our unfortunate lot in national and state affairs for four years. With the introduction of improved politics, untainted and uncorrupted elections, reformation of politicians, etc., we are tempted to accept an amalgamation of the various political creeds, parties, organizations, the appearance of which would create a belief that AMERICANISM pure and simple would be our "guiding star," but when we get the proofs that the combined action or get-together spirit is absolutely to suit a temporary convenience, we are compelled to bring forcibly to the people's notice that there is no real coalition between the Republican and Democratic parties, and what may be engaged to run a municipal government does not apply necessarily to state or nation. The result of the Republican convention in Chicago last month shows beyond a doubt that the Progressive Republicans and the old Republicans have fully realized that no more advantage must be given to their opponent, the Democrats, and therefore, having united their forces on the presidential nominee, the same action should be carried out for our state officers. While there are factional troubles in the Democratic party in this state, yet when it comes to a common issue we find them uniting to carry out their aim successfully, and our delegates of the Republican party, profiting by this lesson, should resolve and pledge themselves to abide by the decision of their assemblies and unanimously agree on supporting the candidates chosen. The idea of keeping Progressives and Republicans separated or from combining on vital political questions is well known to be one of the essentials of the Democratic platform of success, and in the face of present conditions and a reflection of four years ago (when they were the beneficiaries of the legacy that made them powerful in the nation), the necessity arises for Republicans to settle their differences and work harmoniously for their success this fall. The best way then, is to stand by the party whether our individual choice for the primaries is successful or not, as it means ultimate destruction to our state issue if we refuse to sacrifice our selfish desires for the good of the whole. The Colorado Statesman specially requests that particular interest be manifested in the primaries, as they fill an important role, and the determination to insure success, against the odds that await us must be shared by all Republicans who still entertain and cherish the thought "that the major includes the minor—the greater the less." A Republican president for the nation, a Republican governor for the state of Colorado—nothing more, nothing less, is our standard, our motto and our goal. Help us to obtain this principle that never fails. ```markdown ``` K. P. Excursion to Colorado Springs in honor of Grand Lodge, Thursday, July 27th, via Colorado & Southern.

Americanization of Adult Foreigners Must Be Brought About Through Schools There is a phase of public education that has not engaged much of our attention heretofore, but that is surely going to demand it in the near future—that is, the education and the Americanization of the adult foreigner. Among thoughtful people and among lawmakers is growing up the conviction that the presence of the illiterate foreigner is a danger and a menace to us and to our institutions. Under present conditions he may be among us twenty years more, knowing nothing of our language, open to none of the influences that tend to good citizenship. He can be guided and moved by the intriguer and the boss of his own nationality, but cannot be touched by Uncle Sam. Thus, in time of stress or danger, he may become dangerous and threatening in the extreme to the very life of the republic. It is coming about that the burden of teaching and Americanizing the foreigners is to be laid upon the educational forces of the commonwealth. There are 75,000 illiterates reported in California. There are over half a million foreign-born residents. These classes are becoming so large, as compared with our school population, that the state is taking cognizance of the matter and is moving toward assuming responsibility. At present the most definite way to reach our adult foreigners is through the night schools. The machinery for organizing night schools is at hand in every school district. Movement Toward Christian Union Most Significant Trend In the Church Today The most significant trend in the church today is the movement toward Christian union. This movement is manifested in at least two different, though kindred, ways. First, there is a broad spirit of genuine friendliness, brotherhood and Christian tolerance manifested among the different churches, and this spirit is increasing. There are those who mistake this spirit of tolerance for the unity which the church needs. It is far from unity, and yet it makes possible co-operation in many fields of effort and leads to a better understanding and appreciation of one another, which is necessary in order to bring about the unity that is to come. The other manifestation of this union movement is seen in the effort, sometimes successful, to unite kindred religious bodies, in the commissions on Christian union appointed by many communions, and in the fact that the ablest writers and thinkers of all religious bodies are discussing the subject on platform and with pen. If there is to be found an acceptable basis of union it must be found in the New Testament scriptures, for this is the only authority which all accept, and from which there is no appeal, and can be no dissent. Upon the vital things of Christianity the churches are practically agreed, and all can safely trust to the united scholarship of the past and present as to the interpretation of the New Testament upon all essential points. Measures Must Be Taken to Retain the Foreign Trade Obtained During the War By W. P. G. HARDING of Birmingham, Ala. Member of the Federal Reserve Board Restoration of peace will necessarily bring about important changes in the world's trade, and just what these changes will be and how they will affect business conditions in this country are problems which are being studied carefully by publicists and business men. These are vital questions here in the South as in other parts of the country, although we may not be as directly affected as other sections, for the reason that a smaller part of our business has come from foreign countries or has been connected with war material. We should, however, stand ready to support the government in any measures that it may be necessary to adopt in order to retain the legitimate foreign trade that we have already secured, to extend still further our business intercourse with South American countries, besides maintaining a proper balance in our trade relations with the nations now at war. Security of Tenure in Office Is One of the Greatest Needs of the Minister By E. C. HAYES, Professor of Sociology, University of Illinois Churches go where the biggest collections are possible, not where the greatest opportunity for work exists. If twenty thousand immigrants move into a certain section of a city, twenty churches move out. In proportion as a church is needed in such a neighborhood its existence is rare. Security of tenure in office is one of the great needs of the minister. The minister must not only please Mrs. Grundy but must also retain the favor of all the other ladies and gentlemen of his parish. The church feels that it must do those things which help to maintain its strength which help to maintain the particular denominations. Discoveries of Medical Science Should Be Put to Work in Behalf of the People Discoveries of Medical Science Should Be Put to Work in Behalf of the People All that is necessary for the public health of a community now is for that community to demand of the government that all of the discoveries of medical science be put to work in its behalf. Business interests get four times as much from the government for care and protection of hogs and cattle as the public-healtn service gets for the care of human health. We should have skilled men at work everywhere, and each worker should receive a salary equal to the economic value of just one human life. That is only $5,000. Who Comes There?

NICHOLSON COMES OUT FOR GOVERNORSHIP. Makes Announcement in Letter to Lake City Editor; Is for American. ism and Dry Law Enforcement. Formal announcement of his a didacy for the Republican nomination for governor was made today by Sam- uel D, Nicholson, of Denver and Lead- ville. The announcement was contained in a letter to William C. Blair, editor ot a Lake City newspaper, who some time ago wrote to all prospective can- didates in the Republican party ask- ing them if they would stand by the Republican nominee if defeated for the nomination for governor. | His letter follows: “William C. Blair, Lake City, Colo.— Dear Sir: Replying to your letter wherein you ask if I am a candidate for governor, and if I will support the nominee of the party should I not re- ceive the nomination, I shall, of course, support the nominee of the Republican party without regard to my own candidacy, and shall support him with the same earnestness and enthusiasm that I shall support our splendid national ticket. “Yes, I am a candidate for governor and hope to receive the nomination and election. I have but one ambition, and that is to devote my best ener- gles and efforts in giving to Colorado a genuine business-like administration, and to assist in every way in my power in the upbuilding and advance- ment of our state, materially, morally and educationally. “I stand, as I always have, for the absolute and impartial enforcement of all the laws of the state. Prohibi- tion is no longer an issue in this state The people and the legislature settled that question, and any honest execu- tive must and will enforce the law, If elected governor I shall unflinch ingly use every power of the office to enforce these laws. “Our taxes are excessive. They can be substantially reduced by abolish: ing the unnecessary boards, bureaus and commissions, and I am strongly in favor of legislation to this end. “And with you, my dear sir, I stand for that ‘single Americanism’ that means our country first and forever and a complete and adequate pre paredness of both army and navy. “Very truly yours, “SAMUEL NIHCOLSON, “Denver, Colo., July 12, 1916.” FUNERAL NOTICES OF CAMMEL AND COMPANY.

Are We Citizens Or Are We Not ‘The undersigned feels that it is his duty to issue this call for a Conven tion to meet in Denver, Colorado, on August the sécond, Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen. It seems imperative to make this call at this time because representatives of twenty-six states have already signified their intention to attend such a gathering and bring with them large delegations, from their respective states. ‘The most important thing to be considered at this time by the Black people of America is the matter of citizenship. Are we and can we be truly called citizens of the United States? If we are c'tizens we should and must have all the rights enjoyed ‘by any person of any race or color. “It we are not to have these rights and privileges it is now time for us to know it. This convention is called for the purpose of carefully considering this question in all its bearings and to lay our grievances before the American people and all the world. We solemnly ask the White race if it is right, fair or just for a people who have served it so long and been so loving, kind and faithful, and so patriotic as we, the Black people have been, to be treated in the way and the manner we have been treated by the American white people? If we are to remain a subject race the time has now arriyed when we should know all the facts and govern our future acts accordingly. We should enter our united protest against discriminating treatment and, if discrimination must continue, we must seek a country where all peo- ple of African blood have equal op: portunities; where. no discrimination can be practiced against us. Liberia is such a country. Africa furnishes a great field for laudable ambition and growing emulat'on. We call on all Black people of all the states and territories of the Unit- ed States to join us in th's effort to bring about better conditions for the African race in this country. It is our privilege to organize in all cities, towns, hamlets and communities and send strong representatives to th's convention who have at heart the fu- ture welfare of the race. JN.

BAKING POWDER IS MADE OF SAWDUST Remarkable Result of Experiments Made in Uncle Sam's Laboratory. FOREST WASTE IS UTILIZED Silk Socks, Milk Bottles and Other Articles of Commerce Alco Are Being Manufactured Now From Sawmill Refuse. Biscuits made with sawdust baking powder may be one of the delicacies served upon the American table, if experiments being made by Uncle Sam in his forest products laboratory at Madison, Wis., are successful. The experiments, in fact, already have proved successful, for biscuits made with this new baking powder recently were served to members of the National Lumber Manufacturers' association who visited the laboratory. This forest products laboratory, which is one of the most remarkable institutions maintained by Uncle Sam, its object being to promote efficiency in the lumber industry by reclamation of part of the present waste, has been rechristened, unofficially, the "sawdust laboratory," in view of the amazing work that is being done for the conversion of sawdust and other lumber waste into valuable articles of commerce, especially the development of methods of reducing the present print paper famine. Here are some of the lines along which the "sawdust laboratory" is working, in addition to the production of sawdust baking powder: The improvement of present methods of conversion of mill waste into artificial silk, America's product of sawdust silk socks being valued at $5,500,000 in 1915. In addition the same department of the laboratory is turning sawmill waste into binding twine, rope, woven furniture of the woven willow type, milk bottles, woven matting rugs. The production of the strongest paper ever made in a simpler manner from the waste of southern pine. The new process, if used generally, would increase paper production in the South 20,000 tons daily. Making grain alcohol from the wood waste, with acetic and other standard acids and chemicals. Not the least important demonstration made for the benefit of the lumberman was that of how wooden houses can be made fireproof by retardant chemicals. Two houses of the size of an average office were erected, one with treated wood, the other with untreated. It was shown that despite an enormous heat, the treated building escaped without charring in the face of a temperature of 1,000 degrees. Methods of chemically treating wood to make it noninflammable are being worked on by the laboratory. It was to make possible experiments on a broader scale, and the working out in the real commercial plants of laboratory methods such as those developed at this demonstration that led the National Association of Lumber Manufacturers to ask congress to add $75,000 to the present $140,000 appropriation for the laboratory. The addition is needed chiefly to expedite experiments in meeting the paper famine, which otherwise would have to be carried on at the expense of work in fireproofing wood, and similar experiments. ALL TYPES OF FORESTS HERE Transition From Lowland to Extreme Alpine Character Seen in Mount Rainier National Park. One of the interesting features of a visit to Mount Rainier National park is the transition of the forset from the lowland to the extreme Alpine type, says G. F. Allen, in a pamphlet entitled "Forests of Mount Rainier National Park," just issued by the department of the Interior. "At the western boundary close to Nisqually river," says Mr. Allen, "the road skirts the base of the lightly timbered ridges and passes into a forest of large and old Douglas fir and western hemlock. After the road crosses the Rainier fork, noble fir and amabilis fir appear, but the Douglas fir and western hemlock are still the prevailing species. Above Longmire Springs the noble and amabilis fir, mixed with western hemlock, become the predominant type. Above Narada Falls the forest is more open and the trees are still smaller. Mountain hemlock and Alpine fir succeed the trees of the tower stope. The glades and mendows become larger and more numerous and the traveler soon enters the open park of Paradise valley, in which are but scattered groves of trees." The remarkable development of the forests about the base of Mount Rainier results from climatic conditions peculiarly favorable to tree growth. The ocean winds that pass through the gaps of the Coast range are laden with moisture which falls in the form of rain or snow on the west slope of the Cascades. The trees are nourished by this moisture through a long season of annual growth and form an evergreen forest which is, in some respects, the most remarkable in the world. GREAT SUM REALIZED FROM SCRAP METAL AND DROSSES Value of Products Obtained From One Kind of Waste That Is Not Wasted $114,304,930 in 1915. There is some waste material in the United States that is not wasted, says Uncle Sam. The value of the copper, lead, zinc, tin, aluminum, and antimony recovered from scrap metals, skimmings, and drosses in 1915 was $114,304,930, against $57,039,706 in 1914, a 100 per cent increase. This large gain was caused by greater recoveries and much higher average values for all metals. Increased traffic on the railroads and a large demand for metal products, made 1915 the most prosperous year in the waste metal trade. The imperative demand for zinc and copper by munition manufacturers and for foreign trade made spot metal very scarce. Secondary metals not desired for these purposes were generally available for domestic uses when virgin metal could not be purchased for prompt delivery. The incentive of high prices caused all metal wastes to be more carefully saved, segregated, and refined. Many manufacturers who had considered virgin metals only as suitable for their needs found that they could use considerable scrap provided they selected suitable material and used good judgment in its treatment. The increased output of secondary tin, lead, and aluminum, says a statement issued by the United States geological survey, was normally to be expected under the improved conditions of business, and the proportionally larger increase in the recoveries of zinc, copper, and antimony were due in part to the foreign demand for pig metal or for manufactured goods containing the metals named. Pretty Custom of Marines May Be Made Law. The pretty custom of rendering an officer's salute to all veterans of the Civil war when they are recognized on the street, started by enlisted men of the United States marine corps, may be made compulsory for all enlisted men of whatever service arm if the joint resolution introduced into the house by Representative L. C. Dyer of Missouri passes. Sergt. Edward A. Callan of the United States marine corps is the author of the resolution which will require enlisted men of the army, navy and marine corps to salute the veterans of war from 1861 to 1865. IRON ORE OUTPUT IS LARGE Production in 1915 Shows Big Increase and Prediction Is for Still Larger Gain This Year. The iron ore mined in the United States in 1915 reached the great total of 55,525,490 gross tons, the greatest output made in any year except 1910 and 1913, says Uncle Sam. This was an increase of 14,000,000 tons over the output of 1914. The United States geological survey estimates that the production of iron ore from the Lake Superior district alone in 1916 will possibly be 60,000,000 tons and that there will probably be an increase in price of 70 to 75 cents a ton for this ore. Iron ore was mined in 23 states in 1915. As has been usual during recent years, the five states ranking highest in production in 1915 were Minnesota, Michigan, Alabama, Wisconsin and New York. The Lake Superior district mined nearly 85 per cent of the total ore in 1915, the Birmingham district about 8.5 per cent, or a little more than one-tenth as much. With the exception of the total for a number of widely separated districts, including those in the western states, a) the iron mining districts showed substantial increases over 1914, the total increase being 34 per cent. NEW MAP SHOWS YOUR HOUSE Uncle Sam, in Publications, Has Undertaken to Show Details of Every Settled Locality. Do you know that Uncle Sam has made a map upon which is shown the exact location of your home—unless you live in a large city where the houses are so close together that it is impossible to show them separately on an ordinary map? This is a new iden of Uncle Sam's, and one about which little has been said. The government divided the entire United States into small sections and has mapped each section on such a large scale that all roads, forests, streams, schools, churches and dwelling houses are shown. The work has not yet been completed, and not all the United States has been mapped at this time, but the greater part of the settled areas of the country has been covered. Pottery Industry Prospers. The pottery industry in the United States made considerable progress in 1915, as compared with 1914, says Uncle Sam. The output of the potteries of the country in 1915 was valued at $37,280,456, an increase of more than five per cent over the previous year, and the largest ever recorded, exceeding 1913. Greatest Storage Dam in World Built by Uncle Sam's Engineers General View of Elephant Butte Dam, Which Will Reclaim Thousands of Acres of Desert Land. Uncle Sam has just completed another engineering achievement that ranks among the "greatest in the world." This is the Elephant Butte dam, the principal engineering feature in what is known as the Rio Grande project in New Mexico and Texas. There are higher dams and wider dams but the Elephant Butte dam is the greatest storage dam in the world. Its reservoir, when full, will contain 856 billion gallons, or enough water to cover the state of Delaware two feet deep. This is a third more than is stored by the $17,000,000 Assuan dam in Egypt and two-thirds more than the combined capacity of all the reservoirs built or projected for Greater New York city. The Elephant Butte dam is 318 feet high and 1,674 feet wide. It contains 610,000 cubic yards of rubble concrete and weighs a million tons. Placed on a city lot 25 by 125 feet, it would make a solid block of concrete lacking only 50 feet of being a mile high. It cost approximately $5,000,000. It is estimated that 180,000 acres of land will be irrigated by this great dam. "Lifting the curtain of the past and looking down the line of twenty years, we are inclined to name this structure "The Peacemaker,"" says C. J. WHOLE TOWNS MOVED Uncle Sam Undertakes Task of Clearing Canal Zone. Government Buys Holdings of Natives and Moves Them to New Locations Provided in Panama. Uncle Sam is playing after a fashion in the Panama Canal Zone the part that the English played more than a century ago in moving the Acadians bodily from an old to a new home. Twentieth-century methods and American liberality are important elements in the present situation, however, so that satisfaction reigns instead of the heart-burnings and sufferings that marked the enforced migration of Evangeline and her people. The United States government desires to clear the Canal Zone of all natives, and of practically all other persons, for that matter, not employees of the canal or members of the United States army. This is desirable for both administrative and military reasons. The matter of buying the little plots of land of individual "farmers" and inducing them to leave the zone has been simple enough, but the villages have presented more serious problems. The plan has been adopted of arranging with the Panama government for sites outside the strip of territory belonging to the United States, of paying the villagers liberally for their holdings, and then moving them, bag and baggage, to the new location. The latest procedure of this sort is going on now in the transfer of the half a hundred or more souls of the village of Chagres, near the mouth of the river of that name, to a new townsite eight miles outside of the zone, at the mouth of another stream. The American authorities have even built temporary homes for the exiles to occupy during the period required to invest some of the money they have received in the erection of permanent dwellings. The villagers and their effects are loaded on barges and towed to their new homes. When the last of them are gone the old village will be razed. MARINES SET SPEED RECORD Cut 33 Hours From Best Previous Time Made in Trip From San Francisco to Peking, China. A squad of Uncle Sam's marines set a new record for transpacific travel from San Francisco to Peking by the southern route in a recent trip in which 33 hours were clipped off the former record. The squad was composed of Corp. John Alexander and 14 privates of the marine corps, assigned to duty with the American legation guard of marines at Peking. The party left San Francisco on an army transport, and at Guam, Mariana islands, transshipped to the U. S. S. Brooklyn, which took the marines to Shanghai. They traveled from Shanghai to Peking by rail. They made the trip in 34 days, while the best previous record was 35 Blanchard, statistician of the reclamation service. "The initiation of this work brought to an end as nothing else could have done an international and interstate controversy which frequently threatened the comity of nations, and in recurring years of water shortage often resulted in personal violence. The building of the dam quieted a claim of $30,000,000 for damages to Mexican property and brought into close and friendly relations the citizens of the Rio Grande valley in New Mexico and Texas. For this accomplishment alone the dam has well repaid its cost. The dream of nearly a quarter of a century has now become reality. A turbulent, erratic, and whimsical river has been controlled and through the coming years will be made to minister to the wants of thousands of families. A valley, wherein irrigation began in a period too remote for historical record, where tillage of crops was old when Montezuma sat upon his throne, where war and drouth have often decimated the population in earlier times, is now about to usher in an era of permanent prosperity based upon scientific agriculture. Fertile soil, favorable climate, and assurance of perpetual and abundant water are guarantees that ample rewards will follow industry." AMERICA'S COTTON CROP TOOK BIG DROP IN 1915 Uncle Sam's Figures, Just Given Out. Show Production Smaller Than in Any Year Since 1909. The American cotton crop of 1915 was the smallest grown since 1909, according to Uncle Sam's figures. A bulletin just issued by the bureau of census shows the crop of 1915 to have been equivalent to 11,191,820 five-hundred-pound bales. This was nearly 5,000,000 bales, or more than 30 per cent, less than the preceding year's crop. The production in every state showed a decrease, the greatest proportionally being in Oklahoma, where the crop of 1915 was only a trifle more than half as large as that of 1914. Although cotton is grown in 18 states, the combined product of four—Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama—represented nearly two-thirds of the total crop of 1915. Texas alone produced 3,227,480 bales, or more than one-sixth of the total. Other states producing large crops were South Carolina, with 1,133, 919 bales; Alabama, 1,020,839 bales; Mississippi, 953,965 bales; Arkansas, 816,002 bales; North Carolina, 699,494 bales; and Oklahoma, 639,626 bales. BAUXITE PRODUCTION GROWS Output Increases 35 Per Cent in Year Arkansas Supplies More Than 90 Per Cent. Arkansas produced more than 90 per cent of all the bauxite mined in the United States in 1915. Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee contributed the remainder. Less than 1 per cent of the bauxite consumed in this country was imported. The year was a banner one for the bauxite and aluminum industries. The production of bauxite was 297,041 long tons, valued at $1,514,834, an increase of 77,723 long tons, or 35 per cent in quantity, and of $445,640, or 41 per cent in value, compared with 1914, according to a statement issued by the United States geological survey. This abnormally large increase in bauxite production is due to the greatly increased activity in the aluminum industry. In spite of the fact that the metallic aluminum consumed in the United States in 1915 amounted to 99,806,000 pounds, there was a great scarcity of the metal in this country, especially during the later part of the year, according to information gathered by W. C. Phalen of the geological survey. A greatly increased demand, together with the curtailment of imports, were the chief causes of this scarcity. The applications of the metal have been many in the war in Europe. Light aluminum alloys have been largely employed, and the metal itself has found favor in camp equipment and especially in the manufacture of automobile bodies and air craft of all kinds. Aluminum powder has been extensively used in making ammonal, a high explosive, by mixing it with ammonium nitrate. The explosive is reported to be insensitive, very stable, and destructive. WAGE SCALES HIGHER Working Hours Also Reduced at Same Time, Says Uncle Sam. Reports From Many Trades Show Changes in 1915, as Compared With the Previous Year. A gradual increase in wages and reduction in working hours is shown in a bulletin issued by Uncle Sam, setting forth the union scale of wages and hours of labor for 89 of the principal trades in 47 of the leading cities of the United States prevailing in May, 1915. The scales shown are those of the printing, soft-drink and teaming trades. The average rate of wages per week for all cities taken collectively was higher on May 1, 1915, than on May 1, 1914, for 44 of the trades reported. In 44 trades there was no change and in only one was it lower. As to changes in hours of labor, 19 trades showed a reduction of hours between May, 1914, and May, 1915 70 reported no change and none reported an increase. Considering some of the more important trades, the following increases in weekly rates of pay between May, 1914, and May, 1915, are noted: Bakers, 1 per cent; beer bottlers, 3 per cent; carpenters, 1 per cent; hod carriers, 1 per cent; roofers, 4 per cent; steamfitters, 2 per cent; painters (hardwood finishers), 4 per cent; electrotypers (battery men and builders), 3 per cent; electrotypers (finishers and molders), 2 per cent; compositors (book and job), 1 per cent; web pressmen (newspaper), 1 per cent. The highest scales per hour paid in May, 1915, in a few of the principal trades were as follows: Bricklayers, 87.5 cents, in Dallas, Houston and San Francisco; carpenters, 65 cents in Chicago and Kansas City; portable and hoisting engineers, 75 cents in Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco; hod carriers, 50 cents, in Portland, St. Louis, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and Spokane; inside wiremen, 75 cents, in St. Louis; painters, 70 cents, in Chicago; plasterers, 87.5 cents, in Dallas, Houston and San Francisco; plumbers and gasfitters, 75 cents, in Birmingham, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Portland, St. Louis, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and Seattle; stone cutters, 70 cents, in Cleveland and Indianapolis; granite cutters, 68.8 cents, in New York, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and Seattle; linetype operators (Hebrew, book and job), 83.3 cents, in New York; compositors (English newspapers), day work, 75 cents, in Seattle. In 1915 the union scales in the baking trade show hours in some localities as low as 48 per week, but generally they are higher. The building and stone trades in a great majority of the cities have an eight-hour day and most of these trades also have a Saturday half holiday either for the whole year or part of the year. The hours of labor in the metal trades range from 44 to 60 per week, 54 being the predominant hours. The printing trades in the book and job offices have an eight-hour day in nearly all the cities covered, and in the newspaper offices all trades have an eight-hour day or less. BIG MINERAL GAIN .IN EAST Value of Gold, Silver, Copper, Lead and Zinc Produced in 1915 Was Nearly $30,000,000. Uncle Sam reports that the value of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc produced at mines in the eastern or Appalachian states in 1915 was $29,968,369, as compared with $11,437,707 in 1914. There was an increase in the production of gold, silver, lead and zinc in 1915, compared with 1914, but a decrease in copper. The gold output from all mines was 10,848.09 fine ounces, valued at $224,250, an increase of 2,450.73 ounces in quantity and of $50,661 in value from 1914. The silver output recovered in part from placers but mainly as a byproduct in refining the gold and copper produced, was 102,545 fine ounces, valued at $51,987, an increase of 1,818 ounces in quantity but a decrease of $3,715 in value. The copper production in 1915 was 18,772,734 pounds, valued at $3,285,229, a decrease of 782,627 pounds in quantity and an increase of $684,366 in value. The production of lead was 607,320 pounds, valued at $32,775, an increase over the 1914 production of 443,320 pounds. The zinc output, figured as spelter, was 312,498,575 pounds, valued at $26,-374,128, an increase of 142,781,621 pounds in quantity and of $17,776,481 in value. State Has No Railroads. In the entire state of Tabasco, in Mexico, there is not a single railroad, but this is due principally to the extent of its navigable waters, says Thomas D. Bowman, United States consul at Frontera, Tabasco. It is doubtful if there is any other district of its size in Mexico that offers such an extent of river transportation as Tabasco does. The state is traversed by a network of streams, most of which converge to form the Rio Tabasco, which is wide, very deep, and four leagues (ten miles) long. At or very near the mouth of the river is the town of Frontera. An examination of the extent of navigation upon the larger rivers leads to the conclusion that the limits were placed, roughly, at the boundaries of the state. ENDLESS CHAIN OF CURIOS IS FOUND IN YELLOWSTONE Geyers Constitute Only One of Many Phenomena to Be Seen in Uncle Sam's Greatest Playground. Uncle Sam thinks that while it is often said that "everybody knows about Yellowstone Park," there is still much misconception about this greatest playground of the United States. To remove this misconception is the object of a new book issued by the interior department. Secretary Franklin K. Lane's purpose in issuing the new literature calling attention to the Yellowstone is made plain in the initial pages. "In the first place," states the department, "few look upon the Yellowstone as a reservation that has anything but geysers. Nothing could be further from the truth. While there are, of course, more geysers within its boundaries than in all other parts of the earth combined, so many other features are to be found there that the park cannot properly be exploited solely as a land of geysers. "There is an endless chain of curios, nature phenomena, multicolored stones, grasses and other things that appeal to all classes in the Yellowstone. In its 3,300 square miles many species of animals abound, and there is no limit to the landscape scenery that delights the red-blooded American. Located in the heart of the Rockies, its plumage is, within, most alluring to nature-lovers, and its interior so abounds in the unusual that it is a place that presents almost every conceivable form of attraction for tourists." Almost at the very arch separating the outside world from the park, as one leaves Gardiner, the scenic grandeur of the Yellowstone becomes manifest. The trip to mammoth Hot Springs, five miles away, transforms the weary traveler from the open world to what often has been called "the land of fairies." This bewilderment continues for the entire journey through the famous trails and highways that the government has made possible for the education and entertainment of its citizens. Conducts His Work Through State Department's 'Back Door' A Dr. Charles A. Holder. Until about eight years ago, Dr. Charles A. Holder was curing the acnes and pains of a considerable clientele at Colorado Springs, Colo. Now in his capacity as foreign trade adviser, he is one of the most important cogs in the state department machine. During the past few months, Doctor Holder, through what has come to be known as the "back door of the state department," has secured the release of millions of dollars worth of American goods held up by the British blockade. Doctor Holder was consul at Cologne, Germany, when the war broke out, but at that time he was desperately ill at Dieppe, France. He was removed on a stretcher to London, where he gradually recovered his health. He was serving as assistant to Robert P. Skinner, United States consul general at London, when offered his present position by Secretary of State Lansing. SAVING OLD PAPER AND RAGS Uncle Sam Has Issued Booklet Showing How Waste Material Can Be Sold to Advantage. Uncle Sam says that anyone may recover a little of the money which he is forced to pay out because of higher prices resulting from the war by saving old paper and rags. These are valuable today because of the fact that the United States cannot now secure papermaking material from Europe. The government has issued a booklet telling what to save and how to save it, with suggestions as to the best means of disposing of waste paper and rags. This waste material is more valuable east of the Mississippi river and in the cities owing to the smaller expense of getting it into the paper mills. Agricultural implements to the value of $168,120,632 were manufactured in the United States in 1914, says Uncle Sam. The census of 1909 showed a production valued at $149,318,544, the increase in five years amounting to $18,802,088 or 12.6 per cent. THE GARDENER White House Orchids—This Building Is Devoted to Prize Orchids for the President and Family. THE FOREST All the Spireas, Herbaceous and Shrub, Are Beautiful and Hardy. TOO MUCH WATER KILLS PLANTS By LIMA R. ROSE. More plants in the window garden are killed every year by overwatering than in any other way. Some persons labor under the delusion that water must be applied daily, and the consequence is their plants are literally drowned out, unless they happen to have the best drainage. Others go on the "little-and-often" plan—that is, they apply water in small quantities whenever they happen to think of it. The result is the surface of the soil is kept moist and from this the owner takes it for granted that the soil beneath must be properly damp. Nine times out of ten examination will show that an inch or two below the surface the soil is dry. Of course the roots of the plants cannot do their work under such conditions. The plant soon sickens and eventually dies and the owner wonders what caused the trouble. Now, in watering plants several things have to be considered. First, the nature of the plant. Some like a good deal of water, others only a moderate amount. Second, the soil. A close, loamy soil dries out slowly, therefore it will not require as frequent or as large applications as a light porous soil from which moisture evaporates rapidly. Third, location and exposure must be taken into consideration. Plants in the sun or a very warm place, will need a good deal more water than those in full or partial shade or a low temperature. Fourth, the size of the pot must be reckoned with. The soil in a large pot will not dry out for two or three days, but the soil in a small pot will become quite dry every day. Fifth, a dormant plant requires but little water. It is not in a condition to make use of much water and an oversupply of it will surely result in harm. When the plant begins to grow then increase the quantity and proportion this to the development made. All these things must receive due consideration by the amateur who would know how to care for his or her plants intelligently. Study them. Experiment with them. In this way you soon become familiar with the individuality of each one and you will be able to give to each the care it needs. We are often asked for some rules for watering plants. It is impossible to make any rule that can be followed strictly. The only rule I have ever been able to give is this: When the surface of the soil looks dry, water. Use enough to thoroughly saturate all the soil in the pot. You can tell about this by the es- cape of some at the bottom of the pot. Then wait until the dry look appears on the surface again and apply water as before. But, as I have said, one will have to modify this rule to fit the conditions. It is a general rule, subject to such change as may appear necessary to the intelligent plant grower, who does not believe in treating all the plants exactly alike. Give fertilizers to growing plants only. A plant standing still needs none and will be injured by the applications of the food it is not in condition to make use of. WORK ON THE LAWN How are the lawn and home grounds in general? Are they all that should make summer home life enjoyable and a pleasing sight to the passerby? If the lawn is patchy and bare in spots, keep on seeding it the whole summer through; the seed will finally catch and fill up the bare places. White clover is a fine lawn plant, but many find that it dies out after a few years. White clover, as all the clovers, is a biennial, completely dying after the second year. If the lawn is kept closely clipped, white clover seed should be sown each fall or spring to insure a permanent stand. The same result may be secured by not mowing in the fall, allowing the plants to blossom and seed. PLAN FOR BEAUTY Plan for beauty, then work unceasingly for the plan. Let your light shine in the back yard, that there shall be nothing hidden. Have grass and shrubbery in the back, rather than rubbish. Some of the prettiest things in the way of plants, vines and shrubs should be in sight of the kitchen window. Hardy azaleas are among our most brilliant, hardy shrubs. All the spirea, herbaceous or shrub, are beautiful and hardy. Let your kitchen window be a picture frame. Let the picture frame be green things growing. Let the green things be something beside burdock, jimpson weeds or cockle burs. Plant to screen the ugly views from the back door. Vines will do it. Get a root of the trumpet-creeper from the woods and plant it in the back yard. Set a strong stake beside it, and keep the vine cut back until the "shrub" habit is formed. It is beautiful. The trumpet-creeper will not spread unless you cut its roots. When you do you won't have to import any more. TRIP OF UNDERSEA CRAFT THRILLING Story of Voyage of German U Boat Across Ocean Outrivals Fiction. Submarine, During Hazardous 3,800 Mile Run, Submerged Many Times to Escape Possible Attack From Enemy. Baltimore, Md.—Pictures of adventure no less thrilling than those which fill the pages of Jules Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," are called up by the amazing story of the trip of the German U-boat Deutschland across the Atlantic ocean—a voyage that has been pronounced the most daring in the history of the sea. The story of the remarkable voyage made by this submarine—the first to cross the Atlantic ocean—through a maze of hostile warships, has been told simply by Capt. Paul Koenig, commander of the undersea cruft. Koenig was modest about it all. He had a few words of praise for his crew and none for himself. When he spoke of the fatherland his eyes sparkled and his whole body twitched with eagerness. When he talked of "just dropping down when he saw a destroyer" his voice was calm. Would He Surrender? Just once did he display real emotion. That was when toward the end of the interview this question was suddenly shot at him: "Suppose on your way back, just as you left the Virginia capes, you saw a destroyer bearing merciless down upon you. Suppose there wasn't time to dodge, wasn't time to submerge, what would you do? Would you surrender? The undersea skipper's face turned a sudden red that looked queer under his thick weather tan. His hands clenched, his eyes flashed, then slowly each word painfully thought out, came the answer: "Would I surrender? I—couldn't tell about that—positively I can't. I don't know—surrender? I think the moment would bring the decision. Yes, that moment would carry its own decision." That was the spoken reply, but in every bit of the man's tone, in every set line of his face could be read the real answer—Capt. Paul Koenig has no intention that the Deutschland shall ever fall into enemy hands. Fears No Enemy Warship. And he has every confidence that he will take the Deutschland back to Bremen loaded with the rubber and nickel that the Fatherland so craves for its munition factories. "Six, ten, a dozen, twenty cruisers outside will not stop us," he exclaimed. "We will go back; we will go back easy. And we will come again, and others will come and trade will go back and forth, and the British blockade—that will be a thing to laugh at. "The future of the submarine has now been proved to be unlimited," he asserted. "There is practically no maximum to their capacity; their mechanism has been perfected; we have shown that they do anything any other ship can do, and more besides. "About that I am positive. The coming of the Deutschland. 3,800 miles to America, and her arrival with a range of almost ten thousand miles left, with fuel and water and supplies and everything for that much travel still aboard, shows that you can go with a submarine simply where you want to go." Koenig is a small man, ordinarily looking until he begins to talk, when his force and personality become at once apparent. First Submarine Trip. One of the first questions asked of him brought one of the most surprising replies of the interview. Requested to tell in detail of all the submarine experience he had before being selected to attempt the crossing, he replied quickly: "But you see I have not had any. Of course we practiced after we went aboard. We practiced a great deal. Navigation I know. Submarines I think I know now. "Was it fun? Sometimes, yes. Most it was fun in the English channel. There we lay ten hours on the bottom, snug and comfortable. Some of us slept and some of us read, and most of us listened to our graphophone playing a beautiful song from "Peer Gynt." while above us raged the destroyers and cruisers that would have thought us the very choiceest of prey had they but known what lay hidden there below them. It was not a long ten hours. We drank a little champagne, and we ate and attended to the machinery. "No, we didn't submerge because of any cruiser chasing us; not once were we chased." How They Submerged. Nothing more valid about adventure could be drawn from Koenig than the detailing of these times "we just bank." As far as his words went, that was all there was to it. A vessel was sighted; the Deutschland was quickly submerged; she ran along under water for a time, and then—she came up and opened her hatches for fresh air while officers and men went about their work, their rest, or their play. "Once each day we submerged as a practice drill," he said, "and besides we submerged, as I remember, five times in the North sea, six in the English channel, and three or four in the open water. Do You Know That- "Yes," laughing heartily, "yes, each time there was a reason. "The longest we actually stayed under was that ten hours in the English channel, but we could stay four days. At the end of that time our batteries would be exhausted, and we would have to rise and recharge them. During the entire trip we traveled a total of ninety miles under water. "As far as the physical effect on the ship's company is concerned, we could remain forever. We can submerge fifty 'athoms—three hundred feet—but as a matter of fact we never went nearly that deep, and probably never shall." The COLORADO STATESMAN Liked the Submerging. Those on the Deutschland besithed himself were First Mate Krapuhl, Second Mate Gyring, Chief Engineer Klels and a crew of 25 men. Klels, he said, over and over again, was "the most important of all." Then he told how the crew spent the time. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF "On board they busied themselves with the machinery, for practically all of them are mechanics. They played cards, and they had their singing and their sleeping and their sitting about, and the time passed. "Best of all, they—all of us, in fact—liked the submerging. Unpleasant? Indeed it was not. It was just like sinking into a sort of blue nest. We open the portholes, and then through the glass we could see the fish and the formations of the sea, and always we listened, listened, listened. "How do we listen? There are aboard two microphones, and with them we were able to hear the whistling of a buoy six miles off when we were under water. And just before we came up about thirty miles from the Virginia capes, we were able to hear the ringing of a bell buoy six miles from us. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY "The screw of a ship we could hear quite plainly while it was yet a safe distance from us. More than hearing it, we could tell whether it was a cruiser or a destroyer. It was quite fascinating to listen so. Details of the Trip. Captain Koenig did not take the Deutschland around Scotland, as has been conjectured. He came straight throught the Channel, he said. "We left Bremerhaven at noon on June 14. We proceeded quietly to Helgoland; there we stayed four days. There were three reasons for that: No ship proceeds all the way after starting. It is too easy to calculate when she may be expected at some given place. So we lay in wait a while. Then, too, we wanted to train the men. During those four days we drilled and taught them hard, and when once more we proceeded we had a capable submarine crew. Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. "Again, we had to trim the corgo. That must always be done after a start is made. We must shift things about and stow them away. And everything needs to be tested. All worked nicely. "We carried 180 tons of fuel oil. Of that we have 95 tons left—more than enough to take us back—and we shall not ship any more here. Then we carried many tons of oxygen and twenty tons of fresh water, of which we had ten left. We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best. "The last time we submerged was as we were nearing the Virginia capes and we saw an American boat approaching. We thought it was a fruit boat so we just dipped under for the last time. The men were always glad when we did that—It made such smooth traveling. The Deutschland scarecely rolls at all under water. "And that about completes the story of the voyage. We traveled, we saw ships and submerged, we traveled again on the surface and at last we arrived." Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction The Deutschland, built by the Krump Germania works, cost $500,000. This voyage will pay for her, he said. Boat a Mass of Machinery. As described by Dr. John C. Travers, assistant U. S. health officer, who was taken through the boat by Captain Koenig, the Deutschland's interior appears to be mainly a mass of machinery. She has but one deck below and a seventeen-foot depth of hold for her cargo. Dr. Travers descended through the forward hatch, where he found the crew's quarters, bunks on either side of a narrow passageway leading to compartments occupied by the captain and his two officers. The captain's room is scarcely six feet square and barely high enough for a man to stand. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver It is furnished all in metal, with the exception of a small oak desk. Directly beneath the officers' quarters is the dynamo, which stores electrical energy to drive the vessel when submerged. Next Dr. Travers was taken into the officers' messroom, scarcely larger than the staterooms, with a galley built with all the economy of space of a Pullman dining-car kitchen. Aft the messroom, about one-third the ship's length from her stern, is the submerging machinery and two peris- Calls It Amazing Sight. "I never saw such a mass of machinery in my life," said Dr. Travers. "It was an amazing sight and I doubt if it would mean much except to the engineer who designed it. There seemed to be 5,000 different pieces, an inexplicable tangle of burnished copper and glistening steel." Aft of the submerging machinery were the submarine's two powerful Diesel oil engines which propel her on the surface.
