LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY WHITE MAN SPEAKS ON "RACE" PROBLEM VOL. XXIV. (Chicago Defender.) THE race question in our country has to be solved by both races. While it concerns vitally the black man, yet the white man is almost as much interested in its final solution. For the white man has to change his front more than the black fellow, because his position of exclusiveness and disdain won't be strong enough in the end to halt the march of civilization. The race question began almost with the importation of the first Negroes to our country, and agitated the minds of the best and most enlightened men ever since. The attempt to justify the conduct of the white man toward his Colored brother during the interim of about 250 years would be as foolhardy as it is impossible. Slavery was from its incipiency to 1865 a curse to this country as it would have been to any other country. Since the liberation of the Colored man from bondage the race problem took, of course, a much more acute form, and it is as alive today as it ever was, as occurrences of recent date have shown. The question naturally arises then: What does the Negro want? Broadly answering that question, I would say: He wants recognition of that what he is. The Negro has acquired education in common an sometimes in higher schools as well as his white brother. While his forefathers were graduates of the great university of life, he now wants the ideals and improvements that spring from schooling and training in him recognized; in other words, he wants to be respected. He asks no odds nor favors, but his rights. To the close observer the situation by comparison between the two races is many times this: An educated Negro, say for instance a doctor, a lawyer, etc., meets a white man, who has perhaps less intelligence and development. Can it be possible that you would demand superior honors for the white man simply because his skin is white? Is that Colored man preordained to less respect because his skin is black or brown? Right here is the point of contention. The black man knows that some of his Race have as much or more talent than many of the whites, he knows not a few of his Race have as much or more education and are better read than some of the whites; he knows that their manners are more polished at times and their character as good or often better than the white man's. Why should he then be despised? The Colored fellow asserts he does not clamor for social equality, but in the light of common sense this is not so. He claims appreciation of his development and progress just as well as the white man. The man of superior attainments never looks up to the man who is less fortunate in such things. The improper valuation by the white man of the progress of the Colored people is the first great point of friction between the two races. The second one concerns the purse or the division of the purse. The Negro is admitted in a number of occupations of everyday life, in others he is barred. Such times as the present and the prolongation of these times are apt to work in his behalf. At any rate it can be said here, too, that the Colored man is bound to come to the front. If it is found that he can "deliver the goods" why should I not patronize him in his store, in his shop, etc.? Yes, and well meaning people will discriminate rather for than against him. And when he steps out of this more than crude state of his present day occupations to compete with his white brother in the different trades, professions, etc., and can hold his own, the race question, I think, is partly solved. Far away is a beautiful land, thither we are struggling. The only road that leads to there is called the road of righteousness. In that far off domain is only one law: The brotherhood of men, written in divine script in the hearts of the people. But before long the shores of this promised land are reached the ugly specter of race distinction has vanished from among us. T. FRIEDRICHSEN, 3337 Federal St. MAJ. H. R. LEWIS LANDS AFRICAN TROOPS IN WAR EXCELLING Marco Polo as tale- tellers, setting the cobblestones of French village streets to ringing with the wild music of the desert, sung to the exciting, insistent notes of their native reed-pipes, the African troops fighting under the tri-color have laughed, sung, and talked their way into the hearts of their French hosts in the villages in which they are billeted by night as they march to and from the front, according to a letter received by Major C. N. Barney from his brother-in-law, Major Robert H. Lewis serving on general staff in France. "I have just got back to headquarters from a week's march with a division of full-blooded Arabs which was being relieved from the front after very meritorious service. It is one of the crack divisions of the French army which has made the Boche smell hell more than once in the vicinity of Verdun. I never saw a finer bunch of troops in my life anywhere. The men sing and crack jokes on the road and when they arrive in a village they make the eyes of the peasants stick out with the tales they tell. The native pipes play 'streets of Caro' music whenever the regiment passes through even the smallest village and the whole world turns out to give them a smile. "The peasants are very fond of their Arabian brothers-at-arms. They give them the best rooms in their houses. In fact, the whole system of billeting is entirely new and interesting to an American. Imagine the howl that would go up in one of our small towns in the middle west if 15,000 men were dumped on them in the afternoon with orders that each family should provide lodgings for so many soldiers. "Here in France many times my landlady has got up before dawn to light the fire and bring me my coffee before the march and has even put a DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2 1918 State Hist. & Nat Hist Noe State House able Negro Pa RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA hot water bottle in my bed so that it would not be cold at bedtime. "Our troops are growing to like the hospitable billeting system and I rather imagine they will object to sleeping under canvas on the march again. "Just now most of the regiments are deprived of their commanders. Almost all the regular officers are doing staff duty as I am. The biggest problems now are problems of organization and until these are solved we will not return to our regiments. The machine is beginning to run smoothly now, though, and some of the officers are rejoining their toops ready for action. "When you consider the lack of real military experience in our country in the handling of large units it is astonishing and gratifying to see the progress we already have made in organizing this new army of ours. The American genius for organization is standing us in good stead, but, my Lord, we have a lot to learn yet!"—Denver Post. Cheyenne, Wyo., News.

McDaniels of Colorado Springs, who died several hours after the accident. R. W. McCarty of Colorado Springs was thrown clear of the car at its first turn. He was bruised and cut, but is believed not seriously hurt. Power Manager Shocked to Death. Central City.—Frank Bertegnoli, local manager for the Central City Power & Light Company, accidentally came in contact with a lightning arrester at the transformer house at the plant of the Evergreen Mining Company at Apex and was so badly shocked that he died several hours later. Engineer's Body Recovered in Wreck. Engineer's Body Recovered in Wreck Salida.—The body of Fred Graham, engineer on the Denver & Rio Grande ice train which was wrecked near Belden, has been recovered by the force of men at work removing the debris. No trace has been found of the body of Roy Lannagher, brakeman, who, it is practically certain, was buried beneath the mass of twenty-seven cars, all loaded with ice. Although all speed possible is being used it may be four or five days, railroad men say, before all the wreckage is removed. MORRISON'S FAMOUS JAZZ ORCHESTRA AND ENTERTAINERS GEO.

WEMUSTANDSHALLWIN PRAISES PATRIOTISM OF GROW-ERS FOR GREAT EFFORT TO INCREASE PRODUCTION. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington—"The culminating crisis of the struggle has come. The achievements of this year on one side or the other must determine the issue." Thus President Wilson warned the farmers of the country in making public an address he had planned to deliver at Urbana, Ill. "And in facing this crisis," he said, "it has turned out that the forces that fight for freedom, the freedom of men all over the world as well as our own, depend upon us in an extraordinary and unexpected degree for sustenance, for supply of the materials by which men are to live and fight. "And it will be our glory, when the war is over, that we have supplied these materials, and supplied them abundantly, and it will be all the more glory because in supplying them we have made our supreme effort and sacrifice. "We are fighting," the President continued, "as truly for the liberty and self-government of the United States as if the war of our own revolution had to be fought over again; and every man in every business in the United States must know by this time that his whole future fortune lies in the balance. 'Our national life and our whole economic development will come under the sinister influence of foreign control if we do not win. "We must win, therefore, and we shall win. I need not ask you to pledge your lives and fortunes with those of the rest of the nation in the accomplishment of that great end. "I will not appeal to continue and renew and increase your efforts. I do not believe that it is necessary to do so; I believe that you will do it without any appeal from me, because you understand as well as I do the needs and opportunities of this great hour, when the fortunes of mankind everywhere seem about to be determined, and when America has the greatest opportunity she has ever had to make good her own freedom, and in making it good to lend a helping hand to men struggling for their freedom everywhere. You remember that it was farmers from whom came the first shots at Lexington that set afame the revolution that made America free. I hope and believe that the farmers of America will willingly and conspicuously stand by to win this war also. The toil, the intelligence, the energy, the foresight, the self-sacrifice and devotion of the farmers of America will, I believe, bring to a triumphant conclusion this great last war for the emancipation of men from the control of arbitrary government and the selfishness of class legislation and control, and then, when the end has come, we may look each other in the face and be glad that we are American and have had the privilege to play such a part." State of Siege Declared. Copenhagen.—A state of siege has been declared at Hamburg, Altona and Wandsbeck, according to the Hamburg Echo, a Socialist newspaper. MILLION NOW OUT IN GERMANY. Kaiser Opens War on Strikers, Who Hold Hunger Demonstrations. Amsterdam, Feb. 1.—The military commander at Hamburg has ordered a cessation of the strike there, says the Cologne Gazette. The dispatch adds that the commander also ordered that future strikes be avoided. The strike has been extended in districts near Berlin, especially in Tegel, Aldershoef, Spandau and Marlendorf, where 500,000 men have quit work. A similar number of workmen are on strike in the remainder of the empire. A great number of Socialist leaders have been arrested in various German towns. London.—The broad features of the news filtering in Thursday from Berlin are, first, that the strike movement undoubtedly is extending, and, second, that the German authorities are endeavoring to minimize its importance. The strikes in Hamburg and Kiel have resolved themselves into hunger demonstrations. New Gains Made by Italians. Rome, Feb. 1.—The Italian's new position west of the Frenzela on the mountain front was improved, the war office announced. The lines was advanced slightly northeast of Col Del Rosso. At Paris twenty persons were killed and fifty wounded in Wednesday night's air raid, it was announced officially. One of the German machines which raided Paris was brought down. The occupants of the aeroplane were made prisoners. PINTO BEAN DAY NAMED PINTO BEAN DAY NAMED ONE POUND WORTH 18.6 EGGS IN FOOD VALUE. Governor Gunter, in Proclamation Urges Substitution of Product for All Meat on Tuesday. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—The increased consumption of Colorado pinto beans as a substitute for meat on meatless days is urged upon the people of the state in a proclamation issued by Governor Julius C. Gunter. The following is the proclamation: Inasmuch as the United States food administration, of necessity, has designated Tuesday of each week as meatless day; and, Whereas, the Colorado pinto bean is the best and most available substitute for meat of all kinds and should be used by Colorado people, because— 1. A pound of Colorado pinto beans is the equivalent of 1.63 pounds of sirloin steak. 2.01 pounds of round steak, or 18.6 eggs. 2. Careful analyses by government and state authorities show the food value of Colorado pinto beans to be equal to and even superior to navy beans. 3. The Colorado pinto bean has been developed as a most successful crop under dry farming conditions. 4. Colorado raised in 1917, in response to the plea for increased food production, five times the quantity produced in 1916 and there are now in the hands of the growers 70,000,000 pounds seeking a market at a price much less than that at which navy beans are sold. 5. The use of this excellent article of food by all Colorado will relieve the necessity of importing other foods and therefore release for government use rolling stock needed for other purposes. 6. The greater use of Colorado pinto beans will raise the price to the grower; will reduce the price of eastern grown beans to the consumer and will, at the same time, encourage the greater production of this staple article of food in response to war demands. 7. Coloradoans should encourage the use of pinto beans as a home product because the crop is capable of greatly increased production in this state. 8. The growth of this crop will put the ground in excellent condition for the planting of wheat rye and furnish valuable by-products for live stock. 9. Pinto beans are easily stored and handled, are non-perishable and do not depreciate with age. Now, therefore, all Colorado families, hotels, restaurants, boarding houses and dining cars are asked in aid of the general war campaign to use Colorado pinto beans as a substitute for meat on Tuesday of each week. Boards Demand Mother's Act Revision The Colorado State Association of County Commissioners, in convention at the Albany, re-elected its president, B. A. Banta of Colorado Springs; T. W. Monnell of Montrose, secretary-treasurer; Sam Greenwood of Boulder, first vice president; Neil McKay of Gilpin, second vice president; T. B. McMahon of Telluride, third vice president. Of four resolutions passed, one reads: "That the Legislature be asked to define more clearly the mothers' compensation act, to relieve it of the many abuses from which it is now declared to suffer." Permit Canneries to Increase Output. As a result of a ruling of the national food administration the several canneries of the state of Colorado will increase their output and a large number of additional employés will be given work. Robert J. Grant, in the office of the food administration, received a telegram from Washington to the effect that the canned food division had secured a release from the tin plate conservation committee of tin. Permits have been given canneries allowing them to can 25 per cent of their pack. To Rigidly Enforce New Food Rules. Rigid enforcement of the meatless and wheatless day provisions will be undertaken throughout the state by Robert J. Grant, manager in the Colorado division of the food administration, and Leon M. Hattenbach, chief of the retail trade division. Dealers who violate the provision by selling prohibited meats on Tuesday and Saturday will have either their license revoked or the source of supply of foodstuffs cut off. Assessors Raise Stock Valuation. The county assesors, in their meeting with the State Tax Commission, decided to raise the 1918 live stock values for assessment purposes, the raising in some cases amounting to 25 per cent over values in 1917. Seize 300 Pints of Whisky. Nine persons who aspired to make life cheerful for visitors at the Denver stock show through the medium of bootleg whisky were charged with violation of the Colorado prohibitory law in complaints issued by Paul McGovern, deputy district attorney for Denver county. Mr. McGovern said that 300 pints of whisky, said to be worth at the prevailing retail price more than $1,000, were seized by state officers. This Is Our Winter of Test This Is Our Winter of Test RIVING food is a local problem for each community. Prices and definite rules for every one cannot be formulated. It is a duty for each one to eat only so much as is necessary to maintain the human body SERVING food is a local problem for each community. Prices and definite rules for every one cannot be formulated. It is a duty for each one to eat only so much as is necessary to maintain the human body healthy and strong. This winter of 1918 is the period when is to be tested here in America whether our people are capable of voluntary individual sacrifice to save the world. That is the purpose of the organization of the United States Food Administration—by voluntary effort to provide the food that the world needs. C. S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION NEED BIG HERDS NEED BIG HERDS Europe's Meat Supply Must Come From America. Warring Nations Have Depleted Live Stock at Enormous Rate, Even Killing Dairy Cattle For Food. American stock breeders are being asked to conserve their flocks and herds in order to meet Europe's tremendous demands for meats during the war and probably for many years afterward. The United States food administration reports that American stock raisers have shown a disposition to co-operate with the government in increasing the nation's supply of live stock. Germany today is probably better supplied with live stock than any other European nation. When the German armies made their big advance into France and then retreated virtually all the cattle in the invaded territory — approximately 1,800,000 head—were driven behind the German lines. But in England—where 2,400,000 acres of pasture lands have been turned into grain fields—the cattle herds are decreasing rapidly. One of the reasons apparently is the declining maximum price scale adopted by the English as follows: For September, $17.76 per 100 pounds; October, $17.28; November and December, $16.08; January, $14.40. The effect of these prices was to drive beef animals on the market as soon as possible. In France the number of cattle as well as the quality have shown an enormous decline during the war. Where France had 14,807,000 head of cattle in 1913, she now has only 12,341,900, a decrease of 16.6 per cent. And France is today producing only one gallon of milk compared to two and one-half gallons before the war. Denmark and Holland have been forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef because of the lack of necessary feed. Close study of the European meat situation has convinced the Food Administration that the future problem of America lies largely in the production of meat producing animals and dairy products rather than in the production of cereals for export when the war will have ceased. BRITISH GOVERNMENT HELPS PAY FOR BREAD There has been much misunderstanding about the bread program in England. It is true that the Englishman buys a loaf of bread for less than an American can, but it is poorer bread, and the British government is paying $200,000,000 a year toward the cost of it. All the grain grown in Great Britain is taken over by the government at an arbitrary price and the imported wheat purchased on the markets at the prevailing market price. This is turned over to the mills by the government at a price that allows the adulterated war bread loaf of four pounds to sell at 18 cents, the two pound loaf at 9 cents and the one pound loaf at 5 cents. In France, under conditions somewhat similar, but with a larger extraction, the four pound loaf sells for 16 cents. MAKING MEATLESS DAYS PERMANENT. In the meatless menu there is a fertile field for developing new and nourishing dishes, according to E. H. Niles, writing in the Hotel Gazette, who believes that the present shortage of meat and fats will not end with the coming of peace, but may grow more acute and continue for five or six years, thus making it worth while to develop menus of grain, vegetables and fish on a more or less permanent basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals and other protein foods, or may be served in very small portions as a flavoring for other food. In making up meatless menus this author finds our American Creole and southern cuisine a broad field for investigation. CORN WILL WIN DEMOCRACY'SWAR CORN WILL WIN DEMOCRACY'SWAR America's Greatest Cereal Crop Is Now Moving to Market. MAINSTAY IN NATION'S CRISIS. Surplus Wheat of the United States Has Been Sent to Famine Threat- end Europe. America's great corn crop, exceeding 3,000,000,000 bushels, will save the world's food situation, officials of the United States food administration believe. Corn is the nation's best food cereal, housewives are beginning to realize. It contains all the elements needed to keep the body in a state of health and when used according to the scores of tried recipes, especially when combined with an added portion of oil or fat, will sustain life indefinitely. Indian warriors in colonial days lived on parched corn alone for many days at a time, and at Valley Forge parched corn was at times the sole ration of the Continental soldiers. Owing to transportation difficulties caused by the war the corn crop moved more slowly to market this year than ever before. Now, however, the cereal is reaching the millers and consumers. In the meantime the nation's surplus wheat has been sent to Europe. Today there are approximately 39 bushels of corn for every American. This quantity is greater by five bushels than in former years. Corn has become the nation's mainstay in the crisis of war. Just as this cereal saved the first American colonists from famine on many occasions, just as it served as a staple food during the War of the Revolution and during the Civil War, King Corn has again come to the front in the nation's battle with autocracy. Corn meal is finding greatly increased use in the making of ordinary white bread. Hundreds of housewives and many of the larger bakers are mixing 20 per cent. corn meal with wheat flour to make leavened bread. This kind of a mixture is worked and baked in the same recipes and with the same methods that apply to straight wheat bread. Corn bread—using corn meal entirely—is gaining a greater popularity than ever before. Housewives are coming to realize that every pound of wheat saved in America means a pound of wheat released for shipment to the nations with which America is associated in the war. There are a score of corn products that today possess unusual importance for Americans. Corn syrup for sweetening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes and for use in the kitchen instead of granulated sugar is one of the leading products made from corn. Corn oil, excellent for frying and for every other purpose filled by salad oils, is appearing on the market in large quantities. It comes from the germ of the corn. MADE-IN-GERMANY LIES GIRCULATED IN CANADA MADE-IN-GERMANY LIES GIRCULATED IN CANADA Canada is also having trouble with Made-in-Germany lies calculated to hinder Canadian food conservation according to an official statement received from the Canadian food controller by the United States food administration. The stories bothering Canada are of the same general character as those the United States food administrator recently denounced in this country, such as the ridiculous salt and bluing famine fakes and the report that the government would seize housewives' stocks of home canned goods. The Canadian food controller estimates that when the people listen to and pass on such stories, each one has the power of destruction that lies in a battalion of soldiers. "Stories without even a vestige of foundation have been scattered broadcast," said the Canadian statement. "Nor have they come to life casually. They have started simultaneously in different parts of the country and in each instance have been calculated to arouse public indignation. "They are insidious, subtle, persistent. Bit by bit they dissipate public trust, the great essential in the work of food control. "It lies with every individual to forbear from criticism; to refrain from passing on the vagrant and harmful story, and thus the more effectively to co-operate in work which is going to mean more than the majority of people yet realize." THE UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINISTRATIONS There is no royal road to food conservation. We can only accomplish this by the voluntary action of our whole people, each element in proportion to its means. It is a matter of equality of burden; a matter of minute saving and substitution at every point in the 20,000,000 kitchens, on the 20,000,000 dinner tables, and in the 2,000,000 manufacturing, wholesale and retail establishments of the country.

If our memory serves us correctly we are sure that at least one of our colored organizations is included in the list of Denver United Charities, and for that reason also we would urge our people to give as liberally as they can to this worthy object. We have purchased Liberty Bonds, subscribed in a large measure to the Red Cross, Thrift Stamps, etc., but this is of special interest as it pertains to our home, and remembering the motto: "Charity begins at home" (and no one would attempt to charge us with selfishness as we have received commendation for our ready response to every call) we would lay much emphasis on giving to this CHARITY ASSOCIATION as our CHILDREN'S DAY NURSERY is on the list of those to receive help, and we should help them to get a fair proportion when the general distribution takes place. Give now and largely. Remember, "HE WHO GIVES PROMPTLY GIVES TWICE AS MUCH." THE FRONT PAGE OF THIS PAPER AGLANCE at the front page of this paper after reading about its reliability, etc., at the top, brings the eye of the reader in contact with the pictorial designs—each representing the hope of the thrifty and far-seeing pioneers who, in their resolution to produce the most and best that our state offers, have left such beautiful milestones along our Colorado route as to stimulate us for greater achievements now and in the future. First comes the Welcome Arch, the center of which is adorned with the figure of Justice holding the balances in one hand, and snapping the chains of oppression in the dispensation offered to the props or extreme columns in the FREEDOM of LABOR and the development of RACE, the progress of COUNTRY and the exercise of the FRANCHISE in working out our political destiny. At her feet lay the results of the industrial pursuits brought about by this freedom, there being a large variety of agricultural products, the ass bearing its burden cheerfully to supply or restock the cupboard of the TILLER of the SOIL who is seen in the distance plowing with all his might. On the other side appears the MINER, unwearied in the performance of his task in supplying that necessary element which plays so great and important a part to man's existence, while in the distance rising majestically, are the snow-capped peaks in successive undolations overlooking the colossal structure within whose walls our law-making bodies and governmental agencies, with clock-like systematic action, endeavor to carry out the wishes of the people. Adjacent to this building THE STATE CAPITOL, with the flag of our country waving to and fro from its dome, are church edifices, hotels and palatial residences, giving a substantial proof of the wonderful improvement among the people within a comparatively short period and now offering to the world a home, a resort for recuperation of those who have unfortunately become victims of poor health, to the business man a greater opportunity for extending and expanding himself into various ramifications of business, and to the honest toiler a fair rate of monetary exchange for his labor. The foregoing we try to make plain, as to remind our readers and subscribers that we are not groping in the dark, but in our effort to set a healthy standard of reading matter for the people, we believe in impressing them with truths or facts so invaluable, as to merit their respect and further support for this Journal of the West—THE COLORADO STATESMAN, that has not only grown and developed with the West, but in its unselfish nature assisted others in improving to a very appreciable extent their conditions and circumstances in this great land of the WEST. RACE CONSCIOUSNESS AN EDITORIAL "Race Consciousness," appeared in the Chicago Defender, the great news organ of the Windy City and one of the leading newspapers of the country, offering suggestions on the get-together and help-one-another principles that ought to engage us and quoted the example of the JEW with his quality of selfishness which brings him success through the united support of his race. Other well-taken points in the article as representation on every civic board or government institution commend themselves to us and all the thinking people of our race, and very often have we published editorials and news items on race-loyalty, race-pride and a get-to-gether policy that will make us develop into a bigger and broader people, but in Denver we have a taste of the disease that hits Chicago, touches Philadelphia and hovers around nearly every other city—the action in local politics of supporting a candidate whoever he may be laying aside our personal feelings and "put our man over," not for his sake, but for the cause. We have tried to look from this angle, and often have the people of our various cities tried to do this, but in many instances it may not be personal feelings resulting from a quarrel or some petty cause, but the candidate's action in our community, the kind of impression he has established for his several years of residence among us, and because we cannot vouch for his heart-to-heart policy for the race by the proofs he has given in his general conduct before he aspires politically, we hesitate and many times withhold our support. There is no greater or better proof than the regrets that come from the city of Chicago, whenever merely on account of the race, a man is elected on the assumption that he will make good even though his dealings with his fellowmen might have been questionable before his political ambition takes hold of him, or before a party resolves on using him as A MEANS TO THEIR END. We take it that our brother editor is with us, that not merely because the man is of the race one should rush headlong and push him into a representative position, but because he measures up to every inch of the requirements, and having satisfied us that he is qualified for leadership, we take him by the hand—some pulling him up, others bracing him up, and in fact, give him the necessary support that will make a good and serviceable leader whose life and act will stand out as an example worthy of our following. Chicago has had her experience, and she is in a better position to demand all-around qualification from aspirants for local or any other politics, therefore, in making a choice, while race and party hold well, let us consider first—THE MAN. Baseless Criticism of the Red Cross Is a German Propaganda Baseless Criticism of the Red Cross Is a German Propaganda By HENRY P. DAVISON Chairman of the War Council of the American Red Cross PETER H. BURKE There is a propaganda going forth in this country. It is a German propaganda, and it is very prevalent and fervent in the East, even more so than in the West, and it goes much like this: "Did you know that Mr. So-and-So told me last night that Mr. So-and-So said that Mr. So-and-So had been told by Mrs. So-and-So such and such a thing about the Red Cross? Of course I did not believe it, but that is what he said." Now that is nothing more than German propaganda. It is going to be stopped, not because of any authority exercised by the Red Cross, but because the public is going to demand that it must stop. Whatever else anybody is going to do in this country, if the people know it, they are not going to contribute to German propaganda. There is another criticism of the American Red Cross that is a thoughtless kind of criticism, and that also ought to be stopped, and the way to stop it is this: Somebody may say in very good faith that he is told such and such a thing is so. It is our duty to say to that person: "Do you know it is so? If you don't, stop repeating it until you find out, and if you find out that it is so, write a letter to the Red Cross. They will thank you for your letter." Do not make any mistake about it—the Red Cross not only permits, but urges criticism when it is constructive and honest. But this idle talk going on is harmful, and it must be stopped. We have an organization which is perfectly enormous. It is a voluntary organization, and we are getting on wonderfully. We have not 100 per cent efficiency, but if people will see to it that the Red Cross is not criticized except constructively we will get the efficiency. Burden of Carrying on the War Cannot Be Shifted to the Future By ROY G, BLAKEY, Ph. D., of University of Minnesota When we stop to think, we know that it is not twenty-one billions of dollars which our government wants ultimately, but twenty billion dollars' worth of commodities and service. Our national income does not consist of forty-five or fifty billions of dollars of gold, silver and paper, but of that many dollars' worth of wheat, lumber, minerals, clothing, automobiles etc. There are less than five billions of actual gold, silver and paper dollars in existence in the United States. These dollars are the counters in terms of which the real things are measured and by means of which they are exchanged more easily. For our present purposes to have gold or silver or paper is not to have anything of value in itself, but merely to have a claim upon real things for which it can be exchanged. It is obvious that our government needs money in order that it may exchange it for men and commodities, for it is with these that it must fight the German military forces. It is obvious, also, that it must have these men and commodities now. Munitions of 1930 and men not yet born cannot be hurled against the enemy's lines. The burden of furnishing all of these things must be assumed now; it cannot be put off till the future. If we could borrow from other nations, we might fight the war with what they loaned to us and we ourselves go ahead consuming what we produce, as we have been doing before the war. In that case, we could shift the paying of them—that is, the burden of the war, to the future. But there are no other nations who can lend to us at this time; we ourselves must raise an army, equip it and keep it supplied. Not only must all of this be done at home, but in addition we must help to feed and equip our allies. None of this can be left to the future. Of course the next generation will be injured because of this war. Billions of dollars' worth of labor and food and steel and other materials that are now absolutely destroyed in war are diverted from the construction of railroads, irrigation systems, manufacturing plants, improved roads, houses, all of which might have aided our descendants and made their lives fuller and happier. If a man's property is destroyed, his children receive an impaired heritage; both he and they suffer. Our descendants must suffer in this fashion because much of their patrimony is being destroyed. But their sacrifice in the future cannot relieve our present sacrifice by one jot or one tittle. We cannot, as a nation, postpone our burden if we would, nor can the future help us. Then why delude ourselves with thinking that it can? America Must Indict German Government and People That Support It By WILLIAM E. WALLING Why have we permitted the German propaganda to spread among us its poison of hatred against the world's democracies and the germs of unreason and moral cowardice by which it had already inoculated and stupefied its own people? Why did we not resist this propaganda? For the simple reason that despotic governments can make propaganda in their own and other countries, while democratic governments—being based on freedom of opinion—cannot. Against Germany's poison gases, against her treacherous murder of women and children, we can and do react. Against her intellectual and moral poisons, so far, we have been helpless. The German propaganda has conquered its millions of recruits throughout the world not only by its vast volume, its infinite repetitions, and its infinite variety, but also by its boldness. It has always been on the aggressive. It has always claimed everything. And it has always succeeded in planting at least a part of its germs of discord and unreason in at least a part of the American public's mind. Germany assumed the diplomatic offensive at once with the beginning of the war. We still take the diplomatic defensive. And in diplomacy, as in military operations, the defensive—in the long run—is hopeless. We must assume the diplomatic offensive and keep it to the end, or international democracy will lose the war. We must pillory the German government and that part of the German people that supports it, before the public opinion of all the earth. And we must repeat the operation and add to the damning indictment every day that the war continues. ```markdown ``` COLORADO STATESMAN --- The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West --- A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.

Plai) Proposed to Establish Sanctuaries for Wild Life in the National Reserved Forests, Mr. Hoover predicts a meat famine which will last for years. As an offset to this, Remsen Crawford writes in Collier's, it is proposed to establish game sanctuaries in the national re- served forests, where all kinds of big game may breed unmolested, and bills. legalizing such sanctuaries are pend- ing in congress, The general movement for a great inerease of killable big game In Amer- ica has come to be termed throughout the country “the Hornaday plan.” It gets its name from Dr, William ‘T. Hornaday, director of the zoological park In New York. Doctor Hornaday is foremost among the naturalists of the country, vice president of the United States Army lengue and trus- tee of the American Defense society. For more than twenty years this cham- pion of big game has been sounding a warning to the American people that wild life was becoming extinct and that some day our desolated forests would be looked to in vain for relief from a scarcity of home-raised meats. Had congress and the legislatures of several states awakened to a realiz- ing sense of the importance of pro- tecting wild life ten years ago there might still be a food problem before the American public today, but it would be less of a calamity than it now is, Doctor Hornaday, a conservative, ac- curate man, estimates that several mil- lion head of big game would be avail- able for the market annually if proper precautions had been taken a decade ago. He gives it as his opinion that even at this late day, if well-protected breeding places for deer and elk were provided throughout the vast area of the wild timber and brush lands of the United States, at least a million bucks might be slaughtered annually, leav- ing the does to go on multiplying the denizens of wild life in our forests. ‘This story of literally living on the fat of the land is no fable; this idea of going “back to the tall timber” to get our daily meat is no daydream. Where did the thousands upon thou- | sands of Indians get theirs? It is a widely known fact in the Southern states that many tenants of the cotton lands live three months of the year on rabbits, squirrels and birds without. buying a pound of Western raised meat. It is an equally widely known fact that In the extreme northern and western states land owners who are fortunate enough to be within range of our decreasing tribes of big game live by their rifles much of the time. ‘There {s nothing vislonary in the Horn- aday plan for food relief. Meatless Mince Pie. Meatless mince meat, another cull- nary triumph in the art of food con- servation, has been brought to the housewives of the country by the na- tional emergency garden commission as a worthy companion of pumpkin- less pumpkin ple and gingerless ginger- bread. ‘The new mince meat, officially de- seribed as a “camouflage,” was tried on five hundred troops on a transport, who pronounced it perfect and called for more, Half a package of seeded raisins, half a pound of prunes stewed with lemon juice and peel, one-quarter cup- ful sweet elder, four tablespoonfuls brown sugar; chop the raisins and prunes together and the result fs said to be a meatless mince pie which will accord with the food administration's meatless Tuesday. Gham Tere tite ciho rtare: However patriotic may be the motive of the traveling salesmen and the gen- eral public who ride in sleeping cars, the negro porters assert they are bear- ing an unequal part of the new war tax, says the Kansas City Star. Where the porter formerly received fa tip of 25 cents for shining the shoes and brushing off his passenger, the ne- gro says the tip now is only a dime. “My tips have been reduced one half,” one porter said. The government since the first of November has added 10 per cent to the sleeper fare as a war tax. As it now stands it 1s the porter and not the pas- senger who {s paying the tax. Icelanders Are Intellectual. During the crisis which has been virtually continuous since 1874, the people of Iceland have acquired a stock of political acumen, which, aug- mented by high national intellect»ality and literacy, fully qualifies them for a conflict with Denmark, says a writer. Iceland {s among the first countries of the world in literacy. Few In the island can neither read nor write, and one author has declared that every other man on the street is a poet.

THE MUSEUM This Home Would Be Improved by a Judicious Planting of Vines and Shrubs. By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN. After the vegetable seeds we must select a nice lot of flower seeds, and there must always be the old favorites among the annuals, such as: One package blue ageratum. One-half ounce sweet alyssum. One package mixed snapdragon. One package victoria asters. One package mixed calendula. One package mixed calliopsis. One package early flowering cosmos, mixed. One package mixed single dahlia. One package tall mixed annual lark-spur. One package gaillardia. One package annual gypsophila. One package impaticus sultana, mixed. One package African marigolds. One package Japanese morning glories. One package nigells, or love in the mist. One package Shirley poppies. One package shirley poppies. One package mixed double large flowing zinnias. WHEN THINGS BEGIN TO GROW By L. M. BENNINGTON. Our old friend, Aristotle, knew what he was talking about, and it is not wise to assume that planting time has come with the first fine day. Do not be in a hurry to put things in the ground. With the exception of peas, lettuce and a few other hardy vegetables it is better to wait until the soil becomes perfectly dry and thoroughly warm. Do not be afraid of fertilizing too heavily. See that all parts of the garden are well drained and have everything ready for work when settled weather comes. There is nothing that will injure garden soil for that matter, so much as to work it when it is wet. Wet working of the soil causes it to be hard and cloddy, destroying its good physical condition and causing its rich plant foods to be locked up so that they are not available for use. Lettuce and peas, also sweet peas, for ornament, may be planted while there is yet frost in the ground. These and some others are very hardy plants and can stand cold and frost without injury. In planting them in order not to injure any of the other garden soil choose the driest and warmest place that can be found and cultivate them separate from the other later crops. Early lettuce is best planted in a small bed, and may be protected and forced during cold spells by placing over it light-colored thin cloth, or better yet, glazed window sash or any other glass covering. Many truck gardeners grow all their early lettuce in board frames, covered with a thin white cloth. This is also a good, cheap protection for the growing of many early plants. Start tomato and cabbage plants either in the house in boxes or in the hotbed and have large plants for early use when the open garden season is ready. Give these young plants plenty of sun and air to make them thrifty and hardy. It is a good plan to set the seed boxes outside during the day for several days that the young plants may become accustomed to the open atmosphere. Where young plants are grown in the hotbed the sash should be entirely removed during the day for several days before transplanting, or the plants should be set in a cold frame for hardening. A tender, early forced plant will make inferior growth and will not mature any earlier than one grown from seed in the open garden. For those who care to make extra money from the garden, there is always a good demand at high prices, for very early cabbage and tomatoes especially the latter, in nearly every town and city. Cabbage can be forced to early maturity by planting it in rich soil and giving liquid manure about twice a week. Early tomatoes may be forced by planting them in the warmest soil in the warmest place in the garden, and training them on stakes so that they will receive all possible sunshine. Trim the vines so that only a small amount of fruit will set. Experiments are under way at Honolulu with the use of banana trunk fiber in the manufacture of bags for raw sugar. BIG ARMY NEEDED FOR AIR SERVICE FORTY TO FIFTY MEN REQUIRED FOR EACH ACTIVE PLANE AT THE FIGHTING FRONT. FIGURES BY HOWARD COFFIN Veterinary Corps and Remount Service Growing Rapidly—Information About the Pay Received by Uncle Sam's Enlisted Men. (From Committee on Public Information.) Washington.—In a statement issued by Howard E. Coffin, chairman of the aircraft production board, is the following: "In discussing the accomplishments of the air service in the consummation of the army program, it will be well to point out the impossibility of certain proposals enthusiastically and persistently put forward by word of mouth and in the press. We have seen and heard much of the proposed 100,000 airplanes to be provided by the United States within the next year. In a country where one great industry produces 1,500,000 motorcars per year, the fabrication of 100,000 planes might seem easy, but actual figures based upon three years of practical experience in the war shows that there are now between 40 and 50 men of the auxiliary services required for each active machine at the front. If this same ratio should be adhered to in our service, it would mean that some 4,000,000 men would be required in our aeronautical department on foreign soil between our ports of debarkation and the fighting front. "Even though this number of men could be reduced by 50 per cent by increased efficiency and standardization, the number required is still staggering. Consider, also, the overseas transportation problem as related to material only and without reference to personnel and its maintenance. The transportation of finished planes, properly crated, with the necessary spares, accessories, and equipment is in itself a serious problem, in view of the situation in ship tonnage." When war was declared the strength of the United States army in animals was 66,145; it is now 344,000. The remount service April 6 consisted of one officer and four clerks in Washington, five remount depots where horses were received, and a personnel and purchasing organization in the field in proportion. The veterinary corps, responsible for the treatment of animals, consisted of 64 officers and no enlisted personnel when the United States entered the war. The veterinary corps faced the job of building an organization of about 1,000 officers and 12,000 men. The 1,000 officers have been secured and enlisted men are being transferred at a rate which will soon bring it up to its full authorized strength. The remount service had a similar task in securing personnel. Its present strength is about 300 officers and 11,000 enlisted men. In place of 5 remount depots it has 34, for which plans had to be drawn, sites chosen, and construction of shelter, hospitals, storage buildings, and unloading facilities in short time. The greater proportion of deaths of animals in the army results from influenza, popularly known as "shipping fever," and its complications. British losses on horses purchased in the United States during the war have been about 10 per cent, counting only deaths occurring in this country. French and Italian losses have been higher. The rank of commissioned officers of the United States army is shown by insignia on the shoulder loops. The shoulder loops of a general bear the coat of arms of the United States and two silver stars; lieutenant general, one large and two small silver stars; major general, two silver stars; brigadier general, one silver star; colonel, silver spread-eagle, lieutenant, colonel, silver leaf; major, gold leaf; captain, two silver bars; first lieutenant, one silver bar; second lieutenant, gold bar. The shoulder loop of a chaplain bears a Latin cross. A recent comparison of health reports from troops in the United States and the expeditionary forces shows the admission rate to hospitals to be greater among the men in France. Admissions to hospitals in one week in the expeditionary forces, figured on a basis of 1,000 men, were 45.2; in the United States the rate was 33.7 per 1,000 men. In the overseas forces the noneffective rate (the total number of men excused from duty for any injury or allment, whether or not ordered to hospital) was 54.1 per 1,000 men; in the troops in the United States it was 46.4. The sale of "smilage" books, containing coupons good for admission to theaters and entertainment tents in all army camps and cantonments, is handled in the smaller cities and towns throughout the country by chautauqua and lyceum organizations. The books come in two sizes, for sale at $1 and $5. When sent to a man in camp a smilage book carries the name of the donor on the cover. Red Cross appropriations for work in Italy from November 1, 1917, to May 1, 1918, total $4,771,990. The pay of enlisted men depends on their grades, ratings, and length of service. From June, 1, 1917, and continuing during the term of the war the pay of the enlisted men is as follows: Men receiving $200. All privates the Men receiving $30: All privates, the army entering grade. Men receiving $33: First-class privates, men promoted to act in minor noncommissioned officer capacity. Men receiving $36: Corporals, saddlers, mechanics, farriers and wagoners, and musicians of the third class. Men receiving $38: All sergeant grades in the line, which include infantry, field artillery, const artillery, and cavalry; cooks, horseshoers, band corporals, and musicians of the second class. Men receiving $44: Sergeants of the various corps of the engineers, ordnance, signal corps, quartermaster corps, and medical department; band sergeants and musicians of the first class. Men receiving $48: Battallon sergeant majors, squadron sergeant majors, sergeant majors (Junior grade), sergeant buglers, master gunners, and assistant band leaders of the line.

All enlisted men, while on detached duty not in the field where there are no army quarters available, receive in addition to their pay $15 per month to cover the expense of housing and also a suitable allowance for subsistence and for heat and light. An enlisted man in active service has no necessary personal expenses except for barber and laundry. Uniforms, underclothing, shoes, hats, quarters, medical attendance, and subsistence are supplied them at government expense. Such materials as tobacco, postage, confectionery, and incidentals of individual taste may be purchased at the post exchange at cost. From uncensored sources the committee on public information has received editorial comment on the president's recent message in the Frankfurter Zeitung, a liberal organ with large circulation throughout the German empire. The following paragraph appears in the translation: "The foundation for the peace negotiations has not yet been found, but we have approached much nearer to it. Wilson seeks a way out of the war and does so in a manner not entirely in accord with us. We see no reason for exposing ourselves any longer to the charge of lack of clarity about our war alms. Germany and her allies should come out openly with their terms. Then perhaps it will be seen that a continuation of the war can be avoided and the resistance of governments to the desire for peace of their peoples can be overcome." A large harvest and storage of natural ice for summer use is being urged, accompanied by the statement that unprecedented demands for ammonia by the army and navy indicate a shortage in this chemical so widely used in producing ice and in refrigerators. A shortage of ice during warm weather in 1918 would result in untold waste of perishable foods in the home, in small creameries, and other establishments dependent upon constant ice service. The United States department of agriculture has for distribution complete information on the harvesting and storing of natural ice. A statement by the provost marshal general shows that of 859,150 total discharges for dependency 743,141, or 86.50 per cent, were for wife or wife and children; widowed parent, 6.51 per cent; motherless child, 0.66 per cent; minor orphan brothers and sisters, 0.58 per cent. Of the total of 1,057,363 men certified for service in the National army 418,309, or 39.56 per cent, are listed as involuntary conscripts—those who failed to appear or filed unsuccessful claims for exemption or discharge. Voluntary conscripts—those who filed no claims for exemption or discharge—numbered 639,054. Under the new food regulations Swiss people are allowed only one-fifth of a pound of butter per person per month. The United States, importing before the war as much as $10,000,000 worth of aniline dyes a year, in ten months of last year exported dyes valued at $12,500,000. Four tons of shipping capacity are required to transport a soldier, and another is necessary for his equipment. In addition, it takes 50 pounds of ship capacity a day to keep him supplied with food, clothing and ammunition. A million checks a month will soon be going forward from the bureau of war-risk insurance to safeguard America's fighting forces and their families. Applications from soldiers and sailors for insurance are near $4,000,000. Western Beef Co. Open Daily to 8:30 p. m.

Spanish Sauce—Chop fine three small onions and cook until soft in a tablespoonful of fat. Stir in a pint of tomatoes, a chopped pepper, or a few chopped olives. Season to taste with red peppers and salt, and when the fish Is ready turn the sauce over it just as it goes to the table. Buttermilk Biscuit—Sift together four cupfuls of flour with a tablespoon- ful of soda and the same of salt. Melt three tablespoonfuls of lard and stir into two cupfuls of buttermilk, then add to the flour. Mix soft enough to handle and roll out just as soft as possible, Cut into small biscuits and cake in a hot oven. Prune Crumb Pudding.—Steam a pound of prunes until soft, remove the stones and cut in small pieces. Put a layer of bread crumbs into the pud- ding dish, then the prunes, then more bread crumbs, sprinkling each layer with brown sugar, cinnamon and dots of butter. Over the last layer of prunes’ sprinkle a few chopped wal- nuts, cover with crumbs and turn in a cupful of the prune juice. Bake un: til the crumbs are brown. Serve with fa sauce made of the prune juice a little cornstarch flour, a tablespoonful of butter substitute, and sugar, all cooked until thick. Sweet Potato Custard Pie.—To one and a half cupfuls of boiled and mash- ed sweet potato allow one egg, two ta- blespoonfuls of butter substitute, half a cupful of sugar, three-quarters of a cupful of milk and nutmeg to taste. Beat the eggs, cream the sugar and fat and add milk and lay beat- ing well to mix thoroughly. ‘urn into a pastry-lined plate and bake as usual. Souffle of Meat—Make a white sauce of a pint of milk, two table spoonfuls each of butter and_ flour. Melt the fat, any sweet fat will take the place of butter, and when hot stir in the flour, then add the milk, cook until smooth, add two cupfuls of cook- ed meat finely chopped, a teaspoonful of salt, a half cupful of crumbs, and the yolks of two eggs well beaten. ‘Then fold in the stiffly beaten whites and pour into a well buttered baking dish and bake over hot water a half hour. Just granulated sugar creamed with a butter substitute and nutmeg makes a most tasty pudding sauce. It 1s the height of every man’s am- bition to reach the point where he can say just what he thinks.

U.S. WARRATIONS ANOTHER WHEATLESS DAY AND MORE MEATLESS MEALS AN- NOUNCED BY PRESIDENT. CONTINUED ECONOMY IN USE OF SUGAR AND ALL FOODSTUFFS URGED IN PROCLAMATION. Washington—President Wilson {s- sued the following proclamation on food conservation: Many causes have contributed to create the necessity for a more inten- sive effort on the part of our people to save food in order that we may sup- ply our associates in the war with the sustenance vitally necessary to them in these days of privation and stress. ‘Tho reduced productivity of Europe because of the large diversion of man power to the war, the partial failure of harvests and the elimination of the more distant markets for food- stuffs through the destruction of ship- ping, places the burden of their sub- sistence very largely on our shoulders, The food administration has formu- lated suggestions which, if followed, will enable us to meet this great re- sponsibility, without any real incon- venience on our part. In order that we may reduce our consumption of wheat and wheat prod- ucts by 30 per cent—a reduction im- peratively necessary to provide the supply for overseas—wholesalers, job- bers and retailers should purchase and resell to their customers only 70 per cent of the amounts used in 1917. All manufacturers of alimentary pastes, biscuits, crackers, pastry and breakfast cereals should reduce their purchases and consumption of wheat and wheat flour to 70 per cent of their 1917 requirements, and all bak- ers of bread and rolls to 80 per cent of their current requirements. Consumers should reduce their pur- chases of wheat products for home preparation to at most 70 per cent of those of last year, or, when buying bread, should purchase mixed cereal breads from the bakers. To provide sufficient cereal food, homes, public eating places, dealers and manufacturers should substitute potatoes, vegetables, corn, barley, oats and rice- products, and the mixed cereal bread and other products of the bakers which contains an admixture of other cereals. In order that consumption may be restricted to this extent, Mondays and Wednesdays should be observed as wheatless days each week and one meal each day should be observed as a wheatless meal. In both homes and public eating places, in order to reduce the con- sumption of beef, pork and sheep products, Tuesday should be observed as meatless day in each week, ono meatless meal should be observed in each day; while, in addition, Saturday fn each week should further be ob- served as a day upon which there should be no consumption of pork products. A continued economy In the use of sugar will be necessary until later in the year. It 1s imperative that all waste and unnecessary consumption all sorts of foodstuffs should be rigidly eliminated. ‘The maintenance of the health and strength of our people is vitally nec- essary at this time, and there should be no dangerous restriction of the food supply; but the elimination of every sort of waste and the suhstl- tution of other commodities of which we have more abundant supplies tor those which we need to save, will in no way impair the strength of our people and will enable us to meet one of the most pressing obligations of the war. I, therefore, in the national inter- est, take the Iberty of calling upon every loyal American to take fully to heart the suggestions which are being circulated by the Food Administra- tion and of begging that they be fol- lowed. I am confident that the great boay of our women who have labored so loyally in cooperation with the Food Administration for the success of food conservation will strengthen their ef- forts and will take {t as a part of their burden in this period of national service to see that the above sugges- tions are observed throughout the land.

BE ASKED OF RUSSIA. ‘Western Newspaper Union'‘News Service. eee | ate RTE es eee eee a opinion was expressed by officials here that no substantial advance to- ward the final peace sought by all belligerents has resulted from these declarations. = Berlin, Jan, 26—Count yon Hert- ling, the German chancellor, in an- swering the recent speeches of Presi- dent Wilson and Premier Lloyd George, announced in the Reichstag main committee that Germany would not give up Alsace-Lorraine “There are no differences between us and President Wilson as to free- | dom of the seas,” the German chan- | cellor asserted. “But it is most im- | portant for future freedom of naviga- tion that England relinquish strong | fortitiea points d’appui on important: sailing routes—such as Gibraltar, Mal- ta, Aden, Hong Kong snd the Falk- land islands.” As to Belgium, the chancellor said Germany did not desire any forcible | annexation of her territory. Regard- | ing occupied French territory he de- | clared that while Germany did not de- | sire annexations of it by violence he | would discuss the question of this ter- ritory only with France. The evacua- tion of Russian territory could be dis- cussed only with Russia, he an- nounced. He expressed agreement with certain points in President Wil- son's speech and invited new pro posals from the allies. Count Czernin, the Austro-Hun- garian foreign minister, in an address before the Reichstath, also replied to the speeches of the British and Amer jean executives, He also voiced a de- sire to continue the exchange of peace views with the allies. In particular, he thought such ex- changes between Austria-Hungary and the United States were desirable. There was no great incompatibility between the interests of these two na- tions, in his opinion, and an exchange of views between them might open the way for the other nations to join in conciliatory discussions. Chief interest centers in the an- nouncement of Germany's terms, which are defined for the most part in a negative way, however. The Ger- man chancellor state¢ specifically that Germany agreed wita the first four points in Presides.c Wilson's world peace program which cover the aboll- tion of secret diplomacy, freedom of the seas, equality of trade conditions | and reduction of national armaments. The chancellor thought some difti- culties would be met regarding the fifth point which treated with colonial adjustments and asserted the princt- | ple that the interests of the popula tion. concerned must have equal weight with the claims of the govern- | ment whose title was to be deter- mined, As to the question of a league of peace, the chancellor said Germany would be ready to discuss that after all the other questions had been set-| ted. Austria was primarily concerned with points 9, 10 and 11 in President | Wilson's speech, Chancellor yon Hert- | ling pointed out. Germany's interests | would be defended energetically where they were involved. These points touch upon the readjustment of the Italian frontiers along clearly rec- ognizable lines of nationality, free op- portunity for the autonomous devel- opment of the peoples of Austria-Hun- ‘gary and with the Balkan question, in- cluding demands for the evacuation of Rumania, Serbia and Montenegro, with free access to the sea for Serbia. The chancellor was notably specific in his treatment of the Alrzce-Lor- raine question, declaring this territory was originally German, that it had been teken by force from German pos- session, and the cession of 1871 was merely a restoration. While Count yon Hertling found Premier Lloyd George more concilia- tory in his recent speech than former- ly, showing more of an inclination to Germany's “political, economic and cultural position’ while he was found | “charging her with being guilty of all | possible crimes.” Count Czernin, Austria’s spokes- man, in his address, dealt at some length with the Russian question, He declared that Austria-Hungary did not desire a meter of territory nor a cen- time of indemnity from Russia and thought there were not differences enough in the Russian and German viewpoint of self-determination to jus- tify an abandonment of the negotia- tions now in progress at Brest-Litovsk. ‘The Polish question, he declared, must not delay the bringing about of peace by 2 sinale day. | | TOR TRUCKS Contes a ma MOTOR TRUCKS & PX |TO CARRY MAILS ff 7 Lowerite Charleston os ee ‘ Za’ bs W.VA.

One chain of motor routes will ex- tend from Portland, Me., to New Orleans. Another will cover much of a large stretch of territory in Ohio, Indiana, Illinots, and West Virginia. On the Pacific coast routes will be established be- tween San Francisco and Sacramento, Cal., via Stockton and Fruitdale, a dis- tance of 125 miles, and between Red- lands and Los Angeles, Cal., via On- tario and Pomona, Cal. a distance of 76 miles. . It Is the belief of the post office de- partment that the operation of these routes, and others to be established, will materially ald in the distribution and in lowering the cost of food prod- uets. ‘The existing Iaw does not provide for the employment of government- owned motortrucks or rural delivery ‘routes, nor does it require the rural carrlers to use motorvehicles. In the star route service, however, where the mall is carried under con- tract, a recent law permits the post office department to designate the sort of vehicles to be employed, and in awarding new contracts the depart- ment will specify that motortrucks shall be employed on all routes where the roads are such as to admit of their use, ‘These contracts are advertised for bidders, and where payment asked for the service is deemed to be exces- sive the department is authorized to provide government-owred —_motor- trucks and to employ drivers for the operation of these routes. ‘A further extension of the employ- ment of government-owned motorve- hicles by its adoption for the parcel post service of the rural routes, will be made whenever congress enacts a law now pending for that purpose. Operating under the law as {t now stands as applied to the star route service, motortruck routes, some un- der contract and some operated with government-owned motortrucks, are in process of establishment as follows: New York city to Port Jervis, N. Y., via Belleville, Montclair and Dover, N. J., a distance each way of 86 miles; New York city to Hammonton, N. ¥., via Mount Olive, Bordentown, Trenton, Princeton and Elizabeth, N.

The best informed sources give the period from 2000 to 2500 B. C. as mark- ing the transition from bronze to iron, declares the Christian Herald. Prof. J. B.

A few sarcastic words from the fa- ther, a sharp retort from the mother, that was all. But was it all? What about the effect upon Johnnie and Su- ste, sitting there quietly at their eve- ning lessons? And did neither parent notice that Thomas slipped out of the house at the first intimation that there was to be a quarrel between father and mother? For quarrel it really was, although brief and clothed in the lan- guage of educated, respectable per- sons; and long after these harsh and unkind words had been spoken the at- mosphere of the family living room remained charged with an emotional disturbance in which no one could con- centrate his mind upon his reading or study. Family friction is always fatal to happiness, says Mary A. Lasalle in Mother’s Magazine, and when there are children In the home it ts almost sure to work irreparable harm upon their minds and souls. ‘One of the most powerful causes of the exodus of young people from their homes at an age when they are not and tron is claimed to have been In use in Babylon five centuries earlter.

Quite recently Bessie, an inquisitive little miss, was ont walking with an aunt who weighed something In ex- cess of 200 pounds. “When good people die they go to heaven, don’t they, auntie?” the Uttle girl inquired tnnocently. “Yes, dear.” “And they have wings and fly all around everywhere, too, don't they?” she persisted. “Yes,” returned the aunt. “Well, auntle,” the little child finally said, “I bet when you die and get wings and fly all about folks will think you're a Zeppelin.” vegetable or fresh raw animal food and fat are the staple,.and where food and drink are unstimulating, fresh and cool—that Is, not far above blood heat, without toxic matter, says a medical authority.

The two-piece garments are mostly made of crepe-de-chine or wash satin, but night gowns remain fairly faithful to fine cottons. Whether of cotton or silk they are lace trimmed or embellished with fine embroideries. Flesh and pink are the favorite colors for silk sleeping garments with em- broidery in the same color and laces in white. Occasionally white satin mandarin coats are bordered with a light color in satin, to be worn with ‘pantalettes to match. In the most ‘elaborate sets the coats are embroid- ered in gay floral patterns in several light colors. Among the prettiest and most desir- ‘able of new night gowns there are some specimens that are entirely home made. ‘They are of crepe-de-chine or satin with yokes or trimming of home made crochet. Small medallions, much Uke those that are familiar to us in the Irish crochet Iaces, are made of coléred silk floss, matching the crepe or satin to be used in the night dress {n color.
