Subscribe for the Only Reliable Negro Paper in Colorado, "The Colorado Statesman" THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Praise-How Best Applied VOL. XXIII. Though we may confess it, praise is something that we all like. Not praise which is fulsome and exaggerated, but praise which is given in kindness and which is merited, or deserved. Many of us, if not the greater number of us, are susceptible to flattery, which is another name for fulsome praise. To the sincere man or woman, however, flattery is distasteful, for it does not ring true; it has the resonance of the tinkling cymbal of sounding brass, hollow and insincere; it neither satisfies nor gratifies. Only the little soul is stirred by flattery. On the other hand, a word of kindly praise, spoken becomingly and at the right time, is an incense to the soul. It exalts and uplifts the spirit to immeasurable heights, it clears and heartens the recipient, encouraging him and confirming him in his good intentions. It stimulates him to kinder and braver deeds and to nobler purposes. How often we find ourselves hesitating between duty and inclination. At such a time word of praise, gently spoken, opens the way before us and helps us to make the right decision. Oh, the power there is in the proper word, spoken in time. Who can measure its reach, who can describe the bounds of its influence? Praise, bestowed in kindness and sincerity, gives joy both to the giver and to him who receives it. By praise, well meant and as well deserved, do we bind our friends to us by ties strong and unbreakable. Praise stimulates love and loyalty. Praise generates ardor and inspires zeal to return kindness for kindness. Praise is one of the lubricants, known to the wise, which makes the machinery of life run smoothly and without creaking. Praise solves many a hard problem of life. Praise is a leaver of tremendous potentiality. By praise we surmount many a formidable obstacle. In many things of life we refuse to be driven, but how easy it is to persuade us by a gentle word, kindly and fittingly spoken. How the spirit expands under praise! How the kindly word of commendation makes the heart to glow! How our burdens fall from us and become as nothing under the gentle ministrations of praise! How we are strengthened in our purpose to do good by a quiet, timely word of approval! And yet, knowing as we do the power of the kindly word, how strange it is that it is so seldom spoken, so often withheld. It is as though the languages of praise were a foreign tongue to us, which we are unable to speak. How easy we find it to condemn, and how difficult to praise. How reluctant we are to give voice to the better impulses of our hearts, to reveal to those around us, even those whom we love, our kindly and loving thoughts of them. Indeed, it requires rare wisdom and discernment to utter the word of praise which is both fitting and timely, and perhaps it is because most of us lack that wisdom that more praise is not spoken. It may be, too, that we lack the courage for many of us are strangely different in these matters of the emotions. But let us all cultivate the habit of kindly thought and kindly speech. Let us learn to speak the word in season. Without descending to flattery, which is unacceptable, let us learn to give praise where and when praise is due. Thus we will add immeasurably to the world's joy and in so doing increase our own beyond the telling.—Nashville Globe, May 25. 25th. WAR DEPARTMENT—THE ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE.

PROGRESS AND THE NEGRO Detroit Free Press—It takes years for great movements to produce visible results. In the South a gregarious, pleasuse-loving, improvident race has seemed to be but slightly affected by the economic and industrial changes of the time, The Negro has been the unskilled laborer, the poor tenant farmer, raising his bale or two of cotton and turning it over to the local buyer in liquidation of his debt for the year's living expenses. The teachings of institutions like Tuskegee, Calhoun and Hampton are producing a class trained in trades, efficiency and initiative, whose influence is a leaven slowly permeating the mass for industrial uplift and awakening in the Negro a sense of his economic value. The labor shortage has been an advantage to him. Seven thousand Negroes applied to the Federal Department of Labor last year in regard to opportunities for employment; testimony to the spread of industrial education.

EDUCATION AND THE PEOPLE WITH more than passing pleasure we noticed the Rocky Mount in its issue of Monday, May 28th, containing the portraits of that have graduated from the high schools of Denver, and deliver diplomas next Wednesday at 8 o'clock in a union of precises at the City Auditorium. We preach the doctrine of EDUCATION—a sound mind in a society not the education that caters to the superficial greatness, but makes the high school graduate realize that the present career is like stone to greater and grander achievements, garrisoning them in the deeper sense of engaging more efforts to take up represences in the world. Parents, how glad you must feel, how proud must be, when in spite of the influences that may mar and prospective intellectual career, your boy, your girl, your relative, severance that counts for much, with that dogged persistence, best and the most, kept on with that assiduity which has not their success and won the approbation of parent, teacher and teacher, faithful pupil" of the community.

WITH more than passing pleasure we noticed the Rocky Mountain News in its issue of Monday, May 28th, containing the portraits of the pupils that have graduated from the high schools of Denver, and who will receive their diplomas next Wednesday at 8 o'clock in a union graduation exercises at the City Auditorium. We preach the doctrine of EDUCATION—a sound mind in a sound body—not the education that caters to the superficial greatness, but that which makes the high school graduate realize that the present career is the stepping stone to greater and grander achievements, garrisoning the individual with the deeper sense of engaging more efforts to take up representative positions in the world. Parents, how glad you must feel, how proud your hearts must be, when in spite of the influences that may mar and injure a prospective intellectual career, your boy, your girl, your relative, with the perseverance that counts for much, with that dogged persistence to acquire the best and the most, kept on with that assiduity which has now resulted in their success and won the approbation of parent, teacher and the "well done, faithful pupil" of the community. Nor is this all; the pupils of the grade schools who have qualified and must take the places of those passing from the high, are given inspiration to work with the same vim as their predecessors and accomplish the beautiful task that is set before them. This fills us with a joy almost inexpressible, as by the education of the masses we can realize a piercing of the gloom that now o'erhangs us, an entire change from the cruel weight of race prejudice that now oppresses us, an extermination of the false pride of racial superiority and a permanent welding of the links in the chain of the COMMON BROTHERHOOD OF MAN. Success and a bright future to our graduates! IMPRESSIVENESS OF MEMORIAL DAY IN DENVER A HE celebration of Memorial Day this year was marked with the impressiveness that was visibly affecting to the throng lining of the parade in which veterans of the Civil and Spanish wars, recruits for the regular army, Boy Scouts, High School school cadets, took a prominent part. A pathetic scene was present, sufficiency and solemnity to the day's ceremonies, when veterans handed one another fifty-two years ago walked side by side—the boy giving full proof of a United America in our participation of the greatest war. There were the representatives of our race in honoring the Civil and Spanish War veterans, and the crowd ofizing our material and ever-ready assistance to the nation in former perilous moments, approved of our loyalty and unswerving our country's cause by the shouts of applause and handclap in marched by. This spectacle was borne to the hearts of every encouragement every resident of this city, every member of this state of this great America to enlist their sympathy and offer encore to a people who stand for good government and equal human rights, to the overthrow and utter defeat of any element among us that by the pillars of freedom and the temples of democracy—the foundation stones of our great and honored Republic. Veterans of their deeds, not by racial ties or influences, accepted for the their determination to sacredly guard the stability of their us, not a selfish pride in mere appearance—these are the charm of people delight to honor and who share such honors with their parades in the homage paid by the city in such a celebration. And, hearts beating as one, fond hopes to cherish when the vicit spirit of former days guiding us right to the goal of liberty which INQUERS MIGHT. This event will live in our memory, strength that binds the true American citizen, the real American principles for universal democracy and larger human liberty weaken. THE celebration of Memorial Day this year was marked with a touch of impressiveness that was visibly affecting to the throng lining the route of the parade in which veterans of the Civil and Spanish-American Wars, recruits for the regular army, Boy Scouts, High School and grade school cadets, took a prominent part. A pathetic scene was presented, adding significance and solemnity to the day's ceremonies, when veterans who opposed one another fifty-two years ago walked side by side—the blue and the gray giving full proof of a United America in our participation of the world's greatest war. There were the representatives of our race in honored places among the Civil and Spanish War veterans, and the crowd of spectators, realizing our material and ever-ready assistance to the nation in this as in former perilous moments, approved of our loyalty and unswerving devotion to our country's cause by the shouts of applause and handclapping as our men marched by. This spectacle was borne to the hearts of every Denverite to encourage every resident of this city, every member of this state and citizen of this great America to enlist their sympathy and offer encouragement to a people who stand for good government and equal human rights, demanding the overthrow and utter defeat of any element among us that will destroy the pillars of freedom and the temples of democracy—the corner and foundation stones of our great and honored Republic. Veterans qualified by their deeds, not by racial ties or influences, accepted for their heroism and their determination to sacredly guard the stability of their united country, not a selfish pride in mere appearance—these are the characters that the people delight to honor and who share such honors with their departed comrades in the homage paid by the city in such a celebration. United we stand, hearts beating as one, fond hopes to cherish when the victory's won; the spirit of former days guiding us right to the goal of liberty where RIGHT CONQUERS MIGHT. This event will live in our memory, strengthening the tie that binds the true American citizen, the real American patriot, whose principles for universal democracy and larger human liberty will remain unshaken. MOB RULE MUST BE ABOLISHED. of the Negro citizens of this country are being tested as to their relation relative to their loyalty to the United States and their land country, the answer will soon be given in so practical a use the Federal authorities to a real sense of duty in respecting liberties of those citizens, by the legitimate protection provi- institution. Every succeeding week adds another blood-curdling incident, entropy and barbarism which comes with clock-like regularity, Negroes of this country, and our incessant appeals to the st IF the Negro citizens of this country are being tested as to their true position relative to their loyalty to the United States and their love of home and country, the answer will soon be given in so practical a form as to arouse the Federal authorities to a real sense of duty in respecting the rights and liberties of those citizens, by the legitimate protection provided in our Constitution. Every succeeding week adds another blood-curdling incident to the list of atrocity and barbarism which comes with clock-like regularity, victimizing the Negroes of this country, and our incessant appeals to the state governments, to the Federal authorities for adequate protection, being unheeded, as sure as "the night follows day" justice will assert itself in such a tangible manner removing this menace in our republic, obliterating this arch-enemy of our democracy and resulting in THE ABOLITION OF MOB RULE. Approaching some of our highly respected white citizens of Denver on the action of the mob in East St. Louis, Illinois, Monday and Tuesday of this week, when upwards of 3,000 WHITE citizens beat and killed a number of Negroes, who came in for disfavor by the members of the Central Trades and Labor Union, we requested their opinions on the spirit of the mob and mob rule; if they believed it could be wiped out from this country, and their affirmative replies assured us, that if constituted authority went about the matter in the right way, no lawlessness or mob rule would find latitude in this great Republic, and as Congress and the President have resolved to suppress everything that will cause internal trouble with the nation, whereby moral support and encouragement would be given our enemy at war, a petition containing the signatures of every Negro should be sent to this Congress, denouncing such actions and demanding immediate relief by the enacting of laws that will place a great responsibility on the executives of states and cities which would ultimately blot out forever such a disgrace to our vaunted civilization. The stringent measures that are being adopted, the penalties that are attached to persons expressing dissatisfaction or offering opposition to the interests of the American Government at this critical period of its history ought to apply to this unlawful act of mob rule, and it is alarming to note how with the intrigues of our foe and their agents in this country for the overthrow of our Government, racial antagonism continues to display itself in such glaring forms and features. Last Sunday in Detroit, Michigan, the Rev. James A. Francis of Los Angeles, preaching in the First Baptist Church on "The Church and the War," said, "I have been a pacifist for years. I have always been willing to make any sacrifice to keep from fighting, but when Providence places someone under our care, then we ought to fight like hell." This coming from a true American patriot, without any whitewashing proves how the real American feels when it comes to the protection of those under the care of our Government. We feel that the Negroes of this country know no other caretaker or protector than the American law and the American flag, and Providence having placed us in this position, we are entitled to every protection from the Federal authorities for the preservation of our citizenship, even if the nation must fight to eradicate the lawlessness and mob spirit exhibited in our land of the free. The mob was suppressed and brought under our laws, thereby preserving the Union, 1861-1865; the same can and must be done again in 1917 to rid our country from THIS GERM OF DESTRUCTION AND RUIN, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MUST ACT AT ONCE. Alliance With Great Britain Would Be of Value to United States By PROF. AMOS S. HERSHEY of Indiana University an alliance with Great Britain would make much easier the union of our liberties and vital interests and the development of vital policies in America as well as in the far East. The British empire is largely a confederacy of free people, events and institutions similar to our own, and, except in cases of trade, our mutual interests are not seriously antagonistic; where such interests do conflict, as perhaps in Latin America, readily capable of compromise or adjustment. The fundamental mutual interests of both the British empire and United States are those usually denominated in our president's as "peace and prosperity." In the main, both peoples are materialistic and utilitarian. There no slogans appeal with more force than those of the "fearful" and national security with a view to the enjoyment of the fruits of home." War is generally regarded by the Anglo-Saxon world not more than a success survival of a barbaric past, but, as a rule, an unwelcome off business, of games, and of all the other peaceful vocationions in which our citizens as well as British subjects delight another mutual and perhaps sentimental (though no less) it is that described by such terms or phrases as democracy of self-government, western liberalism, the political and economic of the individual (including the emancipation of women), we desire the triumph of such ideals over Prussian military and organization, the best way would seem to be to face with the British empire and act in conjunction with the freed democracies of Russia and China, as well as with the societies of France and Italy. Besides, we cannot ignore the fact that England is an important power, nor overlook the vast significance of our past, nature relations with Canada. Finally, we should not fail to consider our mutual interests, most particularly in China.

In the main, both peoples are materialistic and utilitarian. In both countries no slogans appeal with more force than those of the "full dinner pail" and national security with a view to the enjoyment of "all the comforts of home." War is generally regarded by the Anglo-Saxon world not merely as a useless survival of a barbaric past, but, as a rule, an unwelcome disturbance of business, of games, and of all the other peaceful vocations and avocations in which our citizens as well as British subjects delight. Another mutual and perhaps sentimental (though no less vital) interest is that described by such terms or phrases as democracy, the right of self-government, western liberalism, the political and economic freedom of the individual (including the emancipation of woman), etc. If we desire the triumph of such ideals over Prussian militarism, autocracy and organization, the best way would seem to be to form an alliance with the British empire and act in conjunction with the newly awakened democracies of Russia and China, as well as with the older democracies of France and Italy. Besides, we cannot ignore the fact that England is an important American power, nor overlook the vast significance of our past, present and future relations with Canada. Finally, we should not fail to consider our mutual interests in the far East, particularly in China. In common with Great Britain, we have an enormous stake, commercial and otherwise, in the future development of the Chinese empire. Poultry Raisers of United States Can Aid in Feeding the World Poultry Raisers of United States Can Aid in Feeding the World By E. E. RICHARDS President American Poultry Association It is up to the United States, the world's greatest, richest and most peaceful nation, not only to look after the welfare of her own people, but to give aid and assistance in supplying food to countless the oppressed humanity in the torn and stricken war zone. The great resources of America must prepare to assume this burden, and thus must do his bit. Every acre, every nook and corner must be used. It is lucky that in poultry we can produce the cheapest and most productive meat of all the various sources of our meat supply. It is a well-known fact that the available supply of meat provides the lowest in our country, per capita, in the history of the world. To meet the extremely dangerous condition we have with a wonderful opportunity of aiding what may prove to be a major food for food. Let us all join enthusiastically in putting forth effort to meet the demand that is sure to come for untold quantities of stuffs. Never in the history of the world will there be a demand than in the next 24 months.

But the question of profit, we Americans must look at the social philanthropic and humanitarian standpoint, and each and every bit." Let us try to be a factor in the production of a hundred million pounds of poultry meat, which is less than one hundred for each man, woman and child in the United States. The United States department of agriculture has just issued that upwards of seven hundred millions of dollars is the amount paid by Americans to the garbage can. Why not convert to produce poultry and eggs? Every home can have a self-supporting and profitable flock of poultry by converting the offal from the table and kitchen into the diet of poultry feed. Why such an astounding waste, an utter waste that costs us nearly seven dollars for every man, woman and United States? Let every home have a neat poultry house well-kept, profitable fowls. We Must Know Meaning of Americanism Before We Can Teach It to Others It is up to the United States, the world's greatest, richest and most resourceful nation, not only to look after the welfare of her own citizens, but to give aid and assistance in supplying food to countless thousands of suffering humanity in the torn and stricken war zone. The great agricultural resources of America must prepare to assume this burden. Every one of us must do his bit. Every acre, every nook and corner must bear its share. It is lucky that in poultry we can produce the cheapest and most quickly producing meat of all the various sources of our meat supply. It is a well-known fact that the available supply of meat products is today the lowest in our country, per capita, in the history of the United States. To meet the extremely dangerous condition we have within ourselves a wonderful opportunity of aiding what may prove to be a worldwide cry for food. Let us all join enthusiastically in putting forth now every effort to meet the demand that is sure to come for untold quantities of foodstuffs. Never in the history of the world will there be a greater demand than in the next 24 months. The margin of profit on the production of eggs and poultry for meat is far in excess of the percentage of profit in normal times. Buf aside from the question of profit, we Americans must look at the situation from a philanthropic and humanitarian standpoint, and each and every one "do his bit." Let us try to be a factor in the production of an extra hundred million pounds of poultry meat, which is less than one pound additional for each man, woman and child in the United States. The United States department of agriculture has just issued an estimate that upwards of seven hundred millions of dollars is the annual tribute paid by Americans to the garbage can. Why not convert this into feed to produce poultry and eggs? Every home can have a self-supporting and profitable flock in the back yard by converting the offal from the table and kitchen into the very choicest of poultry feed. Why such an astounding waste, an utter extravagance that costs us nearly seven dollars for every man, woman and child in the United States? Let every home have a neat poultry house and a few well-kept, profitable fowls. We Must Know Meaning of Americanism Before We Can Teach It to Others We Must Know Meaning of Americanism Before We Can Teach It to Others Before women can teach children the meaning of Americanism, first understand it themselves. Hope more women understand it than men—that is, than me. I have asked men in almost every walk of life, and what I got as an average answer? That an American was a man how to get rich quick. Is up to the American woman to think out for herself to be an American before she attempts to teach her own or some children what it means. I wish that we might have an American national creed that mothers and teachers could give us. I wish that every American child might be brought to understand of mind of the men who wrote and signed our Declara Before women can teach children the meaning of Americanism, they must first understand it themselves. I hope more women understand it than men—that is, than men I've asked. I have asked men in almost every walk of life, and what do you suppose I got as an average answer? That an American was a man who knew how to get rich quick. It's up to the American woman to think out for herself what it means to be an American before she attempts to teach her own or someone else's children what it means. I wish that we might have an American litany—a national creed that mothers and teachers could give our children. I wish that every American child might be brought to understand the state of mind of the men who wrote and signed our Declaration of Independence. I believe women are coming forward splendidly through their organizations and offering their services, but I believe that service can and will be even more completely mobilized. There is one thing women must not forget—that the most important thing they can mobilize is their sex. Now more than in times of peace women owe it to their country to bear children, and to bear them intelligently. And when they have borne them, it is their sacred duty to bring them up in a full understanding of the ideals on which our fathers built this nation. MANY RELICS IN NATIONAL MUSEUM Roles Played by American Patriots in History of Country Are Perpetuated. MEMENTOS OF WASHINGTON Uniform and Equipment Used by "The Father of His Country" In Field Among the Most Highly- Prized Exhibits. The roles played by patriotic Americans in the history of the country are perpetuated in the exhibition halls of the division of history in the United States National museum at Washington, where a large portion of the Arts and Industries building is devoted to the preservation of historical relics. The exhibits are intended to illustrate by an appropriate assemblage of objects, the lives of distinguished personages, important events, and the domestic life of the United States from colonial times to the present day. The collections in these halls are especially rich in relics and mementos of American army and navy officers, and include uniforms, swords, guns, flags, and many other objects which recall the names and services of their illustrious owners. Probably nothing in all the collections more quickly touches the hearts of true Americans, than certain objects once the property of "The Father of His Country." While composed mostly of household articles, there are also several martial accessories. Conspicuous among these is a pair of gold-wire epaulets worn by Washington when a colonel during the French and Indian war, notably throughout the Braddock campaign in 1755. His Continental army uniform, worn at Annapolis, Md., when he resigned his commission as commander in chief of the Continental army, December 23, 1783, is one of the most highly valued objects in the museum. Another great attraction is the equipment used by him in the field, consisting of his tents with poles and pegs, mess chest and various utensils, his writing case and spy glass. Life Masks of Lincoln. There are two life masks of Abraham Lincoln, casts of his hands, and a suit of clothing worn by him while president. The museum is fortunate in having a large number of objects pertaining to the life of Gen. U. S. Grant, particularly the gifts he received during his journey around the world on the termination of his presidency. Among these personal relics are several swords, a uniform coat, saddle, canes, epaulets, medals and commissions. Paul Revere, famous as the hero of the ride to Lexington and Concord in 1775, and who served as lieutenant colonel of artillery throughout the Revolution, was a silversmith by trade, and the museum has several excellent examples of silversmith's work executed by him. Commencing with the days of the Revolution and extending through the periods of all our wars, there are in the national collections interesting swords and other objects owned by such men as Alexander Hamilton, John Hancock, Brig. Gen. Peter Gansevoort, Jr., Brig. Gen. Montgomery C. Meigs, Marquis of Lafayette, Count of Roehambeau, Brig. Gen. Thaddeus Kosciuszko, Brig. Gen. Eleazar W. Ripley, Maj. Gen. Jacob Brown, Maj. Gen. John Bankhead Magruder, Maj. Gen. Alexander Macomb, Maj. Gen. George W. Morgan, Brig. Gen. James Shields, Brig. Gen. John Watts de Peyster, Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock, Maj. Gen. John A. Halderman, Brig. Gen. William H. Browne, Maj. Gen. James Birdseye Macpherson, and many others. Belics of John Paul Jones. Nor is the navy lacking in representatives. There is a fine series of relics and mementos starting with John Paul Jones, whose remark, "I have just begun to fight," is known to every school boy. One of his flags is exhibited, and a cutlass and musket captured from the "Serapis" in 1779. It was Jones who first carried the Stars and Stripes, then the new flag of America, across the sea. The original "Star Spangled Banner" which inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem, now our national anthem is displayed in the museum. Commodore Stephen Decatur's sword is an interesting relic of this remarkable sea fighter who gained distinction in the Tripolitan war, served gallantly in the War of 1812, and forced the Dey of Algiers to renounce all claims of tribute from the United States in 1815. The sword of Commodore James Biddle, distinguished in the War of 1812, is also on exhibition. A silver service presented to Capt. James Lawrence, after his capture of the British sloop of war "Peacock" in 1813, is preserved in the museum. Lawrence is better known, however, by his words, "Don't give up the ship," spoken during the Chesapeake's engagement with the Shannon, and Lawrence's last fight. Reminiscent of one of the best-known naval heroes, Admiral David C. Farragut, is the uniform worn by him when, aloft in the rigging of the Hartford at Mobile bay, he exclaimed, "D—— the torpedoes, go ahead!" Two cases contain personal relics, mementos, and presents of Bear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley. HEALTH IS IMPORTANT Basis for All Work in Schools, Declare Experts. Uncle Sam's Agencies Are Working to Extend Sanitary Regulations of Cities of Rural Communities. The most important element in the education of children is the establishing of good health and right living habits, according to those experts of Uncle Sam's bureau of education who make this their life problem. Half a century ago the attention of those responsible for the care of children in city schools was drawn to these important features of school and life and work, and much has been done, say the experts, in the last two decades for the improvement of the sanitary features of school houses and grounds and for school regimen in cities. Only recently, however, it is pointed out, has much attention been given to health conditions in country schools, but rural school sanitation is now receiving the attention of several governmental and state agencies. An interesting study of rural school sanitation has recently been completed by the United States public health service in a certain part of the state of Indiana. It is thought that the conditions found in that locality are, at least in the main, those that exist to a more or less degree in many of the rural schools in the country. For one thing it was found that there is an undue number of one-room rural schools. Among other things it was thought by the officials making the survey that an undue number of old buildings are being utilized which have largely passed the limits of usefulness for educational purposes. Many of these, it is said, were without the proper sanitary facilities and some were even without any water supply. Many had faulty illumination of the classrooms and still others were without adequate classroom equipment; some were improperly heated and poorly ventilated and still others presented evidences of inefficient janitor's service. The large number of children presenting physical defects of such gravity as to demand specialized medical and surgical attention, say the experts, is an evidence of the need of medical supervision of the school children of the counties in the interests of the child's educational advancement and for the protection of the community health. The undue number of mentally defective and retarded school children revealed by the study made emphasizes the necessity, say the experts, of the mental classification of the children for the purpose of revealing those who are in need of institutional or individualized treatment. CUBA IS BEST SHOE MARKET Offers Greatest Possibilities of Any Country in World for American Manufacturers, It Is Said. Cuba is at present the best market in the world for American footwear, says a report on the subject just published by Uncle Sam's bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. Although the climate is tropical, very few even of the poorest natives go without footwear of some kind, and the per capita consumption of shoes is therefore very heavy. Over 80 percent of the business is done by American firms, as there is no competition from local manufacturers and not any of great importance from Europe. In spite of America's strong position in the market, however, the author of the report, Special Agent Herman G. Brock, asserts that there are many ways in which our hold on the market can be strengthened, as there are a number of features in the Cuban trade not well understood by the American manufacturer. IS DETERMINED TO FIGHT Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Makes Vain Attempt to Enlist in Six Widely Separated Cities. Longfellow's "Evangeline" still wanders. From coast to coast, lingering here and there to grasp of the forbidden fruit, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow also wanders, it is presumed, in a vain attempt to enlist in Uncle Sam's marine corps and be "first to fight." Longfellow was rejected for enlistment on account of physical disability in six widely separated cities during one month. The marine corps finally issued a bulletin to all its recruiting stations to be on the lookout for the modern "Gabriel" and not accept him for enlistment. Strontium Ore Produced. For the first time in many years strontium ore has been marketed from deposits in the United States, according to J. M. Hill of the United States geological survey, department of the interior. Most of the ore marketed in 1916 was produced in Arizona and California. The ore mined in the state of Washington was not marketed. The domestic output was equal to about 10 per cent of the ordinary demand, which amounts to 2,000 tons. The British embargo on strontium salts need cause little disquiet among American users, it is declared, for abundant ore is no doubt available in this country, and American chemists have shown that they can profitably make the salts needed here. THE COLORADO STATESMAN LABOR SHIELD TIME HACE COUNTRY PARTY Thieves broke into the Railroad Men and Waiters' Club last Wednesday night and robbed the cash register. GET IN ON THE LIBERTY BON If ever there was a double in surance of any one's investmen The Annual June Piano Recital of the pupils of Miss Bell d'Autremont will be held in the music room of the Knight-Campbell Music Company, Tuesday night, June 19th. A good program of high-class selections will be rendered. Don't miss it. Admission free. Mrs. Jennie Hicks LeNoir returned to the city this week with the Fisk Jubilee Singers, having filled a season's engagement of nearly a year as leading soprano. She, with the troupe, delighted her audiences at the City Auditorium and Shorter church, where she sang Thursday and Friday evenings. Edward Davis arrived in the city last Sunday from New Mexico to take up permanent residence with his family. "Ed.," as he is popularly known, was compelled to give up a good position with the Santa Fe railroad owing to the continuous ill health of his wife (formerly Miss Lela Rice) who returned with her three bouncing boys a few weeks ago. Mr. Davis being a very energetic young man will soon succeed a position we hope, as he resolves to give satisfaction in whatever capacity he serves. WHO is attempting to challenge our patriotism, our loyalty, when our War Council and our enlistment grow daily? Out-of town men are beginning to see the necessity of swelling the ranks of this military organization, and ministers of the gospel, business men of various phases, farmers and others have fully realized their country AMERICA, where they will endeavor to adjust all matters, changing wrong to right, thereby assisting our government in bringing about the democracy of the world. Major Campbell and his staff can rely upon the support of our people of Colorado to contribute their quota, and California, Illinois, Pennsylvania and New York will find, even though we are youthful as a state, we will be a live competitor in this struggle. Fellow citizens! do your part on TUESDAY, REGISTRATION DAY—the day that appeals to every American who comprehends the priceless treasure he possesses in being a part of this great and glorious country and record your names at your precinct without FORCE OR COMPULSION. SPANISH WAR VETERANS MAIN TAIN REPUTATION IN ANNUAL PUBLIC TREAT. IN SPITE of the heavy down pour of rain the annual entertainment provided by Corporal White Camp No. 4, United States Spanish War Veterans, measured up to the usual standard when Wednesday evening last gave another opportunity to the public to enjoy themselves at the dance in the City Auditorium. This event is awaited with pleasurable expectation, as the management of the organization specializes in improving the attractiveness of this event each succeeding year. Roy's celebrated band discoursed the music that created an exhibition of the latest military steps mingled with the glides and dips of the latest modern dances, and youth, middle and old age in friendly competition gave a test to an adequate description of the graceful features of lovers of the terpsichocean art. The grand march offered a proof of the fine physical bearing of our men and women, and one could not help conjecturing the splendid addition to the Colored Battallion that is to become a unit of Uncle Sam's great army as well as the invaluable auxiliary to the Red Cross department, as in real military style the hundreds of participants followed Capt. Vernell and his staff to the martial music of the band. Even though our country is at war, yet the wisdom in providing healthy entertainment dispelling the mental worry that is apt to overtake us is appreciated by our people, and the spirit of innocent enjoyment permeating those who attend functions as these must encourage the members of the organization to prepetuate their cause. The Colorado Statesman is proud to again wish Corporal White Camp every success, and on behalf of the community hope a continuance of this special annual public treat which wins the hearty indorsement of the community. If ever there was a double insurance of any one's investment it is in subscribing to the LIBERTY BOND which the government, through Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo requests every American citizen to do. This is an appeal to patriotic America, and the spirit of France and Britain, where high and low, rich and poor in a common cause responding to the calls for financial assistance of their nations, should fill us with that national pride to purchase even one bond. If you haven't the money to pay in full (a bond costing $50.00) there are banks in the city that will purchase for you, taking payments at the rate of one dollar a week for fifty weeks. Some of our people have acted wisely and bought already; why should not others RIGHT NOW? "He who gives promptly gives twice as much."

CAMPBELL CHAPEL NOTES. the army and navy forces will clash in their $800 battle in Campbell Chapel on Sunday afternoon in the presence of the venerable Rev. J. P. Watson, a pioneer preacher and former superintendent of the Colorado Conference. General Fannie Johnson will be in charge of the army and Admiral Delilah Givens of the navy forces. Judging from the outlook of the ariel fleet the siege guns, battleships and mines, there will be an interesting time. All pastors and their congregat 3 p. m. A great patriotic meeting, under the auspices of Camp Corporal White, Spanish-American War Veterans, under command of Capt. Walter Vernell and one General Thomas Campbell, accompanied by the wives and daughters composing the Woman's Relief Corps, was held in Campbell Chapel on Sunday evening. Captain Vernell was master of ceremonies. Mrs. Minnie Robinson read a splendid paper on "Patriotism." The Y. M. C. A. quartette rendered a splendid selection. The Rev. A. M. Ward delivered the sermon, using as his theme "God's Hand in History." Major Campbell, in an able address upon "The Negro in War," emphasized the importance of the members of our race keeping up the record of our fathers in this, our country, by enlisting and playing well their part in this crisis. Chapain Dixon of the Civil War made remarks, an outburst of his fullness of heart following the singing of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," and the church choir delighted all with inspiring patriotic songs in which the whole great congregation had part. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Twenty-five boys were present at the Saturday Morning Bible Story Club last week which meets every Saturday at 11 o'clock. Honorable mention was accorded several boys who had brought other boys into the class. The subject was "The Rainbow". After the lesson ice cream and cake was served. The cake was furnished by Mrs. Baxter of California street. Indoor baseball was played at the end of the hour. A larger number is expected next Saturday morning. Seldom has a more interesting program been rendered than that which took place last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. It was Memorial Day Sunday, and the program was of a patriotic nature. A chapter of the Relief Corps of the G. A. R. was present and presented a beautiful large flag. The presentation address was made by Mrs. Grace Wordsworth, whose husband was a commander of a colored regiment in the Civil War. The speech of acceptance was made by Comrade Titus S. Rector, himself a Civil War veteran. Mrs. Larkin told of her father's work in connection with the Underground Railroad of those days. Our own Mrs. Hally also made a neat little speech. The principal address was made by Mr. George W. Cross on "The Place We Hope This Flag to Fill in the Hearts of Our Young Men." The Boys' Band, with their leader, Mr. Boykin, headed the entire procession and rendered splendid music. A splendid program is scheduled for next Sunday afternoon. The Rev. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson of California, who is conducting a series of evangelistic meetings at Zion Baptist Church, will be the speaker. All men will be welcome. Meeting begins at 4 o'clock. The Church of the Living God Assembly will meet at Temple No. 119. 3132 Larimer street, Denver, Colo. Sunday, June 3rd, at 10:30 for hearing, believing, living by every word of God, the words of God, reply to questions. Mankind is hereby asked to assemble with us. J. S. CHRISTIAN, Overseer. J. B.

Nellie Maxwell NAVY ORCULUS STATION United States MVY The airplane is the latest instrument adopted by the officers of Uncle Sam's navy to aid them in their recruiting work. Daily in some sections of the country an airplane has been seen speeding over the outlying districts, occasionally dropping to earth where groups of farmer folk are seen. Here pamphlets and other literature are scattered. Follow the machine and you will see it drop gently to earth in some small town or village. The officer alights and gathering his audience about him, he talks of the navy and the duty of his hearers to their country. PHTHISIS LABOR'S FOE POULTRYPRODUCTS Causes Large Percentage of Deaths Among Male Workers. Uncle Sam's Statistics Show Most Fatalities Among Women Due to Organic Diseases of Heart. Based upon 94,269 deaths of male and 102,467 deaths of female industrial policyholders, fifteen years of age and over, as recorded in 1911, 1912 and 1913 by one life insurance company, tuberculosis caused the death of 20.5 per cent of the former and 14.4 per cent of the latter, while organic diseases of the heart were responsible for 12 per cent of the deaths of males and 14.8 per cent of the deaths of females. The average age of men dying from tuberculosis was 37.1 years and of women, 34.1 years. Of males the lowest average age at death, 31.1 years, was among those who died from typhoid fever, and of females the lowest average age at death, 29 years, was among those who died at childbirth. By occupation, the lowest average age at death was 36.5 years among bookkeepers and office assistants and the highest average age was 58.5 years among farmers and farm laborers. These facts are brought out in a bulletin entitled "Cause of Death, by Occupation," a study made by Louis I. Dublin, and recently issued by Uncle Sam's bureau of labor statistics. Tuberculosis was responsible for the largest number of deaths among clerks, bookkeepers and office assistants, 35 per cent; compositors and printers, 34.1 per cent; gas fitters and steam fitters, 31.6 per cent; longshoremen and stevedores, 29.2 per cent; teamsters, drivers and chauffeurs, 28.2 per cent; saloonkeepers and bartenders, 26 per cent; machinists, 25 per cent; cigar makers and tobacco workers, 24.1 per cent; textile mill workers, 22 per cent; iron molders, 21.9 per cent; painters, paperhangers and varnishers, 21.9 per cent; masons and bricklayers, 19 per cent; bakers, 18.8 per cent; laborers, 16.4 per cent; blacksmiths, 14 per cent. Accidental violence was responsible for the largest number of deaths among railway enginemen and trainmen, 42.3 per cent; railway track and yard workers, 20.8 per cent; and coal miners, 20.4 per cent; while the largest number of farmers and farm laborers, 16.4 per cent died from organic diseases of the heart, due to the facts that the prevalence of these diseases increases with age and that the average age at death of those in this group is higher than any other group. Similarly, among women the largest number of housewives and housekeepers, 15.2 per cent, died from organic diseases of the heart for the same reason stated above, while tuberculosis took the largest proportion of clerks, bookkeepers and office assistants, 42.4 per cent; clerks and saleswomen, 38.7 per cent; textile mill workers, 35.5 per cent; dressmakers and garment workers, 27.8 per cent; and domestic servants, 15.9 per cent. The average age at death was 26.1 years among clerks, bookkeepers and office assistants, and 53.3 years among housewives and housekeepers. The statistics indicate that respiratory diseases are prominent where the industrial worker is exposed to colds, drafts and dampness, as among masons and bricklayers, or to violent changes of temperature, as among teamsters, drivers and chaufeurs. Organic diseases of the heart have a high proportional frequency in cases where the work is heavy and the cardiac powers are overtaxed as among iron molders. Suicide is frequent where depressing influences are present as among bakers and cigar makers. Typhoid fever is high where questionable water supplies are used, as among enginemen and trainmen, farmers, iron molders and laborers. Of 2,386 automobiles imported into Java in 1916, 2,251 came from the United States, says Uncle Sam. Lowly Hen Can Do Much to Relieve Food Shortage, Say Uncle Sam's Experts. SYSTEMATIC PLANS NEEDED Six Hundred Million Dollars' Worth of Eatables Could Be Added to Nation's Supply in Year, It Is Declared. The statement that has been made by those in a position to know that the poultry products of the United States could be doubled within a year means that if everybody in a position to help did their part six hundred million dollars' worth of food would be added to our supply this year, say Uncle Sam's experts in the department of agriculture. This includes both meat for the table and eggs. Very few farmers practice a systematic plan of disposing of their fowls after they have ceased to be productive, these experts say, although it is well known that fowls of the heavier breeds, such as the Plymouth Rocks, cease to produce a profitable number of eggs at the end of their second laying year, and that this holds true of the lighter breeds, such as the Leghorns, at the end of their third laying year. Consequently, if efforts were made to dispose of all females when their best laying days were over a large quantity of poultry meat would be placed on the market. All poorly developed chickens should likewise be culled out and used as meat. This way of disposing of unprofitable fowls would allow the farmer to feed his grain to younger and more productive fowls. Fattening Chickens for Market. Caponing the cockerelers that are not intended for breeding purposes will not only increase their size but will place a more desirable poultry meat on the market. Another practice that should be adopted more widely, it is declared, is that of fattening all chickens that are to be marketed before they leave the farm. This can be done easily by confining the birds for a week or ten days and feeding them a good fattening ration. They will come to market then in better condition and the farmer will receive a profit for their added weight. The greater production of turkeys, ducks, geese and guineas, all of which can be profitably raised and a ready market found in most sections, would increase the supply of poultry meat considerably. The production of ducks especially should be emphasized at this time it is urged, because of the rapidity with which they grow. Ducks of most of the meat breeds, properly fed and managed, frequently weigh from five to six pounds at ten weeks of age. It is estimated by poultry-men making a specialty of growing ducks that the feed cost per pound of producing duck meat ranges from eight to twelve cents. Increasing Supply of Eggs. The number of marketable eggs can be increased by following a few practical suggestions. Among the most important of these are the production of the infertile egg after the breeding season is over, and the proper handling of eggs by the farmer before sending them to market. The infertile egg is obtained when all male birds are removed from the flock. This does not decrease the number of eggs produced, but it does increase greatly their keeping qualities. The production of the infertile egg and the proper handling and marketing of eggs by the producer would increase tremendously the number of marketable eggs each year by diminishing the quantity that are rendered unfit for food. NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Very Much Worse Than the Mere Fear of Death Very Much Worse Than the Mere Fear of Death WASHINGTON.—Looking at them, casually, one would have described them as stern-faced, grim-mouthed, and afraid of nothing on earth. And they looked just that. But as a matter of fact, they were just literally "scared to death." could be. Every now and then, though, one of them would ask an apparently perfectly innocent question, and then turn toward the class with beckoning words and wink. And while one of the soldiers attempted to answer that question, put in phraseology that no mere man could ever hope to understand, the other soldier girls would smooth back their hair, or something like that, and smile. After the lesson was over one of the soldier girls told one of the reporters all about it. "We baked a lot of pies here last week—they really were mighty good," she said, reminiscently. "And I recall that last summer I went out to visit a brother of mine in the Third infantry. It was on Sunday, and I stayed for dinner. They had pie, too. I wish—but never mind. "But who ever heard of a mere man telling a girl how to cook?" But who ever heard of a mere and telling a girl how to cook? In the tent of Commandant Poe there reposes a large pasteboard box. It looks like it might contain candy—but it doesn't. It contains hairpins. For the day was given over to general inspection by Commandant Poe and her aides this morning, and every hairpin, curling leather, and stray piece of string and ripped silk had to be cleaned up. Otherwise caustic comment was very much in order. So the girl soldiers forgot all about soldiery for the time being and went back to the more primeval and prosaic duties of housewives. They policed the camp over and over again, and when they had finished with the outside, they went into their tents and policed them, too.

She says they can do more good there than aboard ship or in the training camp. "There are too many boys in the cities who should go before the country boys are called," said the pretty little miss. "You see them in every city, standing in groups on street corners with nothing to do but make remarks about some pretty girl as she passes. Those are the boys I am after, and I am going to get them."

Seeks to Enroll Fair Sex in Agricultural Classes Seeks to Enroll Fair Sex in Agricultural Classes WOMEN tillers of the fields around Washington may become a war reality, following a conference between Mrs. Flora M. Thompson, advocate of forming for women, and officials of Maryland Agricultural college. Mrs. Thompson. "The history of England and Canada encourages us to believe we can work out some plan to give women of the District practical lessons in farming. "By next year, at the longest, labor on farms near the nation's capital will be a reality, unless present signs are deceptive." In an address before the Young Women's Christian association Mrs. Thompson declared women are inefficient in war housekeeping; that waso ought to disappear from the American home and frugality and thrift its place. The scarcity of male labor on the farms, Mrs. Thompson said, makes it certain that women must do their share of farm work before the war is over. Moral: Place for Maps Is in the Inside Pocket Moral: Place for Maps Is in the Inside Pocket DR. FREDERICK G.

All he wanted was to find water in which to navigate his boat, but the home guard arrested him and interned him under the general charge of being a German spy. The guard argued that no one but a German spy would have so many maps. Doctor Griffiths protested. He said he was a Philadelphia physician; that, like all other Philadelphiaans, his folks arrived here with William Penn, and that he resented this rude treatment. None of which availed him a thing. They locked him up in a St. Phillips calaboose and doubled the guard. According to information reaching Representative Moore he was there for ten days, during which time he sent telegrams to nearly every descendant of William Penn now alive. Representative Moore had to spend most of his time on the trail of the attorney general, and it was only after the most strenuous efforts that he was able to induce St. Phillips to relinquish their first war captive. However, Doctor Griffiths is now out of the calaboose and a free man—and rumor has it he has turned his book northward and doesn't care a rap what happens to St. Phillips. In the first place they were very, very masculine. In the second place they wore sergeant's stripes. Finally, they came from Fort Myer. They marched into the camp of the National Service school, and for more than two hours essayed to teach the khuki-cind, silt-stockinged, femininely military members of that camp how to cook!

DIVISION OF BEST REGULARS Probably 26,000 Picked Men, Completely Equipped, Will Comprise the Expeditionary Force—May Be Split Into Three Divisions. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—Theodore Roosevelt in an annual message to congress in December, 1905, lamented that as president of the United States it was not in his power to promote Capt. John J. Pershing to a grade next higher than that which he held in the army and thereby give recognition to the commanding qualities as a soldier of the young officer of cavalry. It then was in the power of the president of the United States, however, to promote any man that he chose to the position of brigadier general. He could promote to no grade except that of general rank. Roosevelt had recognized Pershing's ability as a soldier, but he did not at first feel that he should jump him over the heads of 300 other officers to make of him a brigadier general. Inasmuch, however, as the law prevented the president from promoting Pershing to any lower rank, he named him in September, 1906, as a brigadier general, and today Pershing is ordered to lead to Europe the expeditionary force which it was Roosevelt's desire to lead in person. Pershing May Take 26,000. The war department has allowed the press to print the fact that Pershing is to go to Europe with a division, and in short order. The numbers of the troops that Pershing will take with him are not given definitely, but, of course, everybody is supposed to know how many men there are in a division. An interesting question, however, is raised when one considers the fact that in the French and English armies a division consists of 9,000 men while in the American armies it consists of 26,000 men. The country has been allowed to know that it is the intention of the American war authorities to raise the number of men in a company from 150 to 250, thus making each company equal in size to the companies in the service of the allied countries on the western front. It may be that all the American forces will be made to conform in organization with the allied standards. If this is the case Pershing may take 26,000 men with him to the firing line, possibly to be split into three divisions after the European order. It is natural enough to assume that Pershing's force will be given at least two months' training behind the lines in France. The regulars which he will take with him are trained to field service which they must render on the battle front. The men know comparatively little of grenade fighting, or of trench warfare in the highly developed state in which it is carried on at the present day. Will Be Picked Men. The regulars which will go with Pershing will be picked men. All the regulars regiments are in good trim physically. They are not, however, up to war-time strength in numbers, but this readily can be remedied by transfers from one batch of regiments to another. It can be taken for granted that when the expedition leaves under Pershing's command there will not be a knot-hole in its seasoned timber. No better men ever fought an enemy than those who will follow Pershing to Europe. There is equipment enough for them except in a few departments of service and this lack quickly can be supplied. If Pershing shall take 26,000 men to Europe with him and after getting in camp back of the front it shall be agreed to split the force into three divisions, although this chance is remote, two American brigadier generals will find themselves promoted to major generals over night. Pershing will be in command of the first division and in supreme command of the three, but he will have two officers of his own rank as fellow commanders. New Generals to Be Named. President Wilson is about to appoint 12 or 14 brigadier generals of the regular army, and one major general for each three brigadier generals. Later the president will appoint a great many more officers to general rank which they will hold while in command of troops of the new army. For every brigadier general that is made in the regular army, advancement, of course, comes all down the line because of the vacancy which is created above. With the expansion of the regular army to a force of nearly 300,000 men there will be need for a great many additional field officers and for scores of captains. The subordinate officers of the regular army will be given quick advancement, not all of which will be dependent upon the creation of new brigadier general and major generalships. So far as the regular army is concerned, it may be that the promotions to the brigadier general rank will be made from the ranks of the colonels of the service. It does not follow necessarily, however, that the ranking colonels will be taken, for the president if he wishes in time of war can take any soldier that he chooses and make of him a brigadier general, and this regardless of the rank which the soldier holds. To fill the higher positions in the new army which is to be raised, the president probably will be guided by what may be called "selective conscription," or in other words he probably will pick his men for the higher grades on the advice of the ranking officers of the army who have studied the careers of the officers subordinate to them during the years past. Generals for the War Only. Generals for the War Only. So it is that there is a chance that some young captains in the regular army today may find themselves for the period of the war, at least, in command of brigades of the new army. When the war is over, the understanding is, these officers temporarily filling high positions will go back into the regular service to take the positions to which they would be entitled by time and promotion if they had continued to serve in the regulars. A captain who is made a brigadier general of the new army would at the end of the war probably go back into the regulars as a major or, if promotion has been fairly rapid, as a lieutenant colonel. There are colonels in the army who never have seen service in Washington who are better fitted for promotion in the regulars probably than some colonels who have seen long service in the capital. The question is whether or not the president's high army advisers will be moved in their recommendations for advancement by mere propinquity. Is the colonel who is known in Washington socially, and perhaps because of his good staff work, to be made a brigadier general in advance of the colonel who never sat at a desk in Washington and who never has viewed the golf links from the veranda of the Chevy Chase club? Personal Element Enters. It should be said, however, that the mere fact that a colonel has served in Washington a long time and has played golf at Chevy Chase or has sat on its veranda drinking the ambrosial tea at sharp four in the afternoon, does not prevent his being a better soldier than the man who has been at Fort Woolly Woolly in the wild West most of his career. Desk work, planning work and advisory work are just as necessary in the army as field work and this fact is well recognized by army men and civilians. There is, however, another side to the matter. It was not so long ago that a good many army officers owed their details to Washington to what the vulgar politician would call "pull." It was hard to dislodge some of these gentlemen. Things are much better now because the so-called Manchu law and a few other things have tended to bring rotation in duty. It is still true, however, that with the four years' detail at Washington the men so detailed get into personal touch with influential ones and the personal element enters into army life as it enters into everything else. So, generally speaking, it is likely that the soldier on duty in Washington will have a shade the better of the man who has never seen Washington when it comes to a question of promotion to general rank. Officers in Olive Drab. The city is full of uniforms, the army officers having put on their olive garb some days ago, dropping their civilian attire until the end of the war. No army officer will appear in full dress, except at a White House affair, in case there should be one, from this time until hostilities cease. Evening dress within a few months will be foregone by Washington society, if the indications today point aright. Olive drab is not dress uniform. It is just between khaki and what is called "social dress." It corresponds in a way to the sack coat of the civilian. At dinners, teas and receptions, such of them as they can attend, Uncle Sam's soldiers appear in their olive drab. Society in war time follows the army. Already civilians are appearing at dinner parties in afternoon and even in so-called morning dress. Washington women are discussing this dress matter, and already simplicity and even plainness of attire is in evidence at affairs where usually the "ultimate extreme" is in order. Elaborate entertainments are being foregone. Dinners in houses of social note are now likely to be of three or four courses instead of six or eight as formerly was the case. The coming seriousness of the war is in the minds of Washingtonians. Had to Dig Out the Uniforms. Had to Dig Out the Uniforms. It was not until the British army officers arrived that the war department issued its order to put all officers stationed in Washington in the service uniform of their country. There are some major and brigadier generals and colonels in this town who have been here for years and who have worn no uniform in all that time except when appearing at an army or navy reception at the White House, and then their attire was the full dress of the service. It was semilhumorously said that it is greatly to the credit of these officers that when the order came out to appear in olive drab they were found to be possessed of such uniforms. One brigadier general appeared in his office at nine o'clock in the morning after the issuing of the order, clad in olive drab that had as many creases in it as a centenarian's face. He admitted that it had been in his trunk for six years, and that there had been no time to press the "plagued thing" between his receipt of the order and the time that he had to appear at his war department desk. The difficulty about farm work is that it is hard to make it seem heroic FORM NEW REGIMENT TO BE RECRUITED TO MAXIMUM STRENGTH BY AUG. 5. Reported that Officers of Second Colorado Infantry Units Will Be Elected by Men. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Colorado is to have a new regiment recruited to maximum strength along the most democratic lines. It will be the Second regiment of infantry. Judge Jesse G. Northcutt will be colonel and John A. Martin of Pueblo will have charge of recruiting in the Pueblo district and will be a captain in the new military organization. One of the majors in the new regiment will be ex-Adjt. Gen J. C. Overmyer, now major of ordnance. The units of this regiment are to be formed as nearly as possible from different parts of the state. Men who wish to enlist together may do so, whereas if they wait to be drafted they will have to go where sent. A city or town that will raise as much as a platoon for the new regiment, that is thirty-five or forty men, will be given at least one commissioned officer, whom they may elect themselves. A city that will raise a company may elect all of its officers and they will be promptly commissioned, Adjt. Gen. Frank D. Baldwin said. Major Overmyer, who formerly was colonel of the old Second regiment and will be major in the new, said that it was to be Colorado's most democratic military unit. Colleges, lodges, clubs and other organizations will be given an opportunity to enlist in a body, exempting only the physically unfit. The Second regiment, it is thought, will be recruited to full war strength by Aug. 5 and sent to a concentration camp for training and to await orders. Income Tax Collected Shows Gain. The income tax for Colorado and Wyoming will exceed $3,000,000 for the fiscal year ending in June, representing nearly triple the amount collected last year, and establishing the largest proportionate increase of any district in the country, according to revenue officials. Internal Revenue Collector Mark Skinner has collected more than $2,000,000 during the last five weeks from corporations and individuals. He declared he was expecting more than another $1,000,000 before the time limit for payment expires on June 15. The total collection last year was $1,900,000, representing nearly double the amount of the year previous. Volunteers in Two States Total 2,142. Up to May 26th, Colorado and Wyoming enlistments for the United States army, navy and marine corps totaled 2,142 since April 1st, when the "big drive" began to raise the three branches of service to war strength. Of that number, 1,121, or more than half, have joined the army in its various branches; 875 have enlisted in the navy, while the remaining 246 have joined the marine corps. The West is leading the nation in filling its quota of men for those branches of the service. Boys Enlist for Work on Fa. ms. An army of Denver boys is ready to march to the trenches on the Colorado farms. Nearly 1,000 boys from the Denver public schools have been enrolled in room 17, state capitol, where the Rotary Club has its headquarters, adjacent to the war council, and is carrying on a campaign to bring the boys into closer acquaintance with the plow and the hoe during the shortage of farm labor. Two Guard Officers Go to Ft. Sill. At the request of the War Department, Maj. William C. Danks, Third battalion, First Colorado infantry, and Maj. Harry D. Smith, First squadron of cavalry, Colorado National Guard, left for Fort Sill, Okla., to enter the school of fire and musketry to be conducted there until Aug. 1st. After being trained, the two Colorado majors will serve as instructors. Buys Bonds With Unclaimed Legacies. Buys Bonds With Unclaimed Legacies. Three $2,000 legacies of unlocated heirs of the late Christiana J. Evans will be invested in Liberty loan bonds, through an order issued by Judge Rothgerber in County Court. Edward L. Shannon, executor of the estate, reported he could not find the heirs and asked permission to invest the money in war bonds. Mrs. Bradford Quits War Board. Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford, state superintendent of public instruction, has resigned from the woman's advisory committee of the governor's war council. Mrs. Lucy I. Harrington has been appointed by Gov. J. C. Gunter to take her place. Colorado Urged to Increase Fish. With the opening of the fishing season State Fish and Game Commissioner Fraser joins in the suggestion of Secretary Redfield that fish be caught for food as well as for sport. It is estimated that by developing the fish industry in Colorado the rivers, creeks, ponds and lakes could produce as high as 20,000,000 pounds a year. The people along the Atlantic coast and those on the northern Pacific coast could live for years on the fish supply alone, Secretary Redfield says. Do You Know That- PRESIDENT WILSON PAYS TRIB UTE TO THOSE WHO FOUGHT FOR RIGHT IN CIVIL WAR. PLAN FREEDOM FOR ALL The COLORADO STATESMAN AMERICA WILL NOT FAIL IN THE STRUGGLE FOR HONOR AND RIGHTS IN WORLD WAR. Western Newspaper Union News Service Washington. — President Wilson, speaking at memorial exercises in Arlington cemetery, declared the time had come for action by this nation and that he had no fear of the part America would play in the great world-war. "In the province of God," he said, "America once more has an opportunity to show the world that she was born to serve mankind." The President said: IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF "Any memorial day of this sort is, of course, a day touched with sorrowful memory, yet I for one do not see how we can have any thought of pity for the men whose memory we honor today. "I do not pity them. I envy them, rather, because theirs is a great work for liberty accomplished, while we are in the midst of a work unfinished, testing our strength where their strength has already been tested. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY "When you reflect upon it, these men died to preserve the Union; died to preserve the instrument which we are now using to serve the world—a free nation espousing the cause of human liberty. "In one sense the great struggle into which we have now entered is an American struggle because it is in defense of American honor and American rights; but it is something even greater than t'-t'-it—it is a world-struggle. It is a struggle of men who love liberty everywhere, and in this cause America will show herself greater than ever because she will rise to a greater thing.

The tornado swept southward to Eye, where Fred Harper, a farmer, was killed by flying debris. Virtually every house in Mineral Point, a town of about 300 population, was wrecked, with the exception of the school house, which still was standing after the storm passed. Many were severely injured when the storm struck, and the Iron Mountain depot collapsed. Cairo, Ill.—Two persons were killed, another injured fatally and at least fifteen hurt by a tornado in Alexander county Wednesday night. De Soto, Mo.—Three persons were killed and several were injured in a tornado at Palmer, about thirty miles southwest of here, according to reports received here. Only one man, Henry Allen, Jr., has been identified. Arrest Plotters Against Registration.

HARRIS, WITH A FILM BY JOHN B. HARRIS, AND A FILM BY JOHN B. HARRIS. WHEN GOWNS ARE REMODELED. A special dispensation from the goddess of fashion, in the interest of thrifty women, lies in the present vogue for two or more fabrics in one gown. In all the array of pretty frocks for afternoon wear—or any other dressy wear, for that matter—there are hardly any that are fashioned of just one material. If the mission of a gown is fulfilled by merely looking well, it is made of two or more materials, or of two patterns in one material. Thrift is a mark of good breeding in these times. Now, when the resources of this country are about to be put to the test, women must be willing to do with less so that others, who need, may have more. But it is no great hardship to do without a new frock if an old one can be remodeled into a thing of beauty. The gown shown in the picture offers a good suggestion for remodeling because the overbodice and sleeves are made of georgette crepe, and worn with a silk skirt and underbodice. This overbodice bears all the evidences of being strictly up-to-date with its wide tucks, long sleeves and its big cape collar of white crepe. A small triangle of white crepe is set in the sleeves at the wrist. A new bodice of this kind simply effaces the memory of the dress it used to be and makes this into a dress of today. A new finishing touch appears in the neck ribbon and tassel which add the final charm to a frock that can't help proving a satisfaction to its wearer. There are so many possibl- ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` A FURORE FOR JABOTS. ties in the remodeling of gowns by combining materials that the amateur is apt to try a little original designing. But safety lies in copying the models in afternoon frocks turned out by expert designers, when gowns are to be remodeled. Everything else in neckwear is more or less eclipsed by the vogue of the jabot which amounts, just now, to a furore. Snowy heaps of net and lace, fashioned into every variety of jabot, happen in all parts of the dry goods stores, and each is a center of attraction for a crowd of absorbingly interested women, otherwise the regular neckwear section would be overwhelmed. It doesn't take any salesmanship to sell jabots, they sell themselves, and all the merchant has to do is to take the money—and keep up the supply. This pretty madness on the part of women promises to outlast the summer and the jabot is so altogether classy and pretty that it should have a long popularity. With this in mind we can be reconciled to the rather extravagant prices that are asked for an accessory whose only mission in life is being good to look at. It takes a good grade of net, good lace and good work to make a successful jabot, that is, one that will stand laudering. For the jabot is nothing if not immaculate as to freshness and daintiness. Net and net combined with lace make the three pretty examples of the jabot shown in the picture. One consoling thing about them is that they are very easy to make and Just as easy to keep clean. The jabot at the left may be made of a square of net, with one corner cut off and gathered into the stock, which is a straight band of the net. Filet lace is used for edging the jabot and for the narrow turnover on the stock and hemstitching finishes its lower edge. A wider silk filet, set to a long piece of net on the ends and one edge, makes the center jabot with a stock of the same lace and net. Lace is left out of the tailored jabot at the right and tucks, with hemstitching, make its efegant decoration. Julia Bottomley Skirts of Wash Fabrics. New wash skirts now being added to the lines, says the Dry Goods Economist, are largely in plain white cotton and linen materials, but with fair proportion of novelty effects. All-white skirts made on simple lines are by far ```markdown ``` the best sellers, but novelty cottons in printed designs suggestive of the popular silks are in fair demand, as also are cottons in polka-dot patterns and in dainty stripes, plaids and checks. Combinations of fancy and plain materials appear in some of the novelty skirts, the plain fabric being used for bands, belts or pockets or vice versa. There has been a fair demand for washable satin skirts, as well as for street skirts in novelty taffeta in dark colors. The Successful Combination. Because figured fabrics are to be so much in fashion, it is wise that every woman should remember that the plain material is the essential foundation on which figures should rest. A garment of any kind which is nothing but a splash of twists and lines and curves is a very poor garment indeed. Every woman should take it to heart that figured fabrics are meant for combination with plain fabrics, and that in the skillful combination lies the success of her rostume FOR GOOD THINGS TO EAT ...
