LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY UNION LEAGUE GIVES COLORS TO NEGROES Gov. Whitman Makes Presentation in Fifth Avenue to New York's Own Regiment Three Thousand Sing "Star Spangled Banner" and "Over There"---- Soon to Go to France VOL. XXIV. UNION L COL Gov. Whitman Mak PLEDGED Three Thousand Sing N NEW York's Negro regiment, which in army records is the 367th Infantry, National Army of the United States, paraded up Fifth avenue Saturday, March 23rd, at full war strength, while thousands of persons cheered. More than 3,000 men were in line when the command, led by its own band and bugle corps, swung into the avenue at Twenty-fifth street shortly before 2 o'clock. So many Negro fighters were never before seen at one time in New York, and when the parade was over and Colonel James A. Moss, the commander of the unit, had accepted a stand of colors from the Union League Club, the unanimous verdict of the great crowd that had seen the regiment was: "They'll do." A feature of the exercises was the singing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "Over There" by the Negro soldiers with a rythm and ring that will never be forgotten by those who heard it. It was probably the last time—as it was the first—that the regiment will be seen in New York until the war is over and the Americans come sailing home. This fact was realized by the great majority of those who cheered the men as they proceeded snappily and in perfect formation up Fifth avenue, and it was indicated in the remarks made by Colonel Moss when, on behalf of the regiment, he accepted the colors from Governor Whitman. Colonel Moss said that the next time the regiment appeared in New York it would be to give back the colors, "sanctified by victory," to the Union League Club, to be forever held in trust as a memorial of the 367th Infantry. The regiment paraded fifteen companies strong, and it was a businesslike looking organization. There was no foolishness, and the men showed in their faces that they realized that they had a mighty serious job ahead. The regiment will not be at Camp Upton long and is already designated as one of the units of the 90th Division of Negro troops which will be commanded when organized by Major Gen. Charles J. Ballau, U. S. A. OFFICERED BY NEGROS With the exception of the field officers the regiment is officered entirely by Negroes, many of them veterans of the four famous regular army regiments of Negro fighters. Colonel Moss, who is from New Orleans, a West Point graduate, and the best writer of military textbooks in this country, walked alone at the head of the regiment. For eighteen years Colonel Moss, who is still in his for- ties, has served as a commander of Negro troops, and he maintains that better fighters do not live. "This regiment," he said to Governor Whitman, "will live up to the best traditions of the Negro soldier. It will be an honor to the 12,000,000 Negroes who are a part of our citizenry, and it will come back with its colors unstained. Of that there is no shadow of doubt." As the head of the command passed the Waldorf through from the windows of that hotel cheered, and others in the streets below joined in the ovation. It was the same all along the line. The windows of every store and dwelling were filled, while the people in the streets were massed six and seven deep on the sidewalks. The reviewing stand was in front of the Union League Club at Thirty-ninth street and Fifth avenue, and Governor Whitman was the reviewing officer. Those on the stand with him included Major Gen. William A. Mann, commanding the Eastern Department of the Army; Brig. Gen. Evan M. Johnson, until the return of Gen. Bell, acting commander at Camp Upton; Adjt. Gen. Charles H. Sherrill, Major Schuyler Colfax, and Major Gen. Daniel Appleton, N. G., N. Y. The head of the regiment halted just north of the clubhouse. The other platoons halted at the same time and Colonel Moss and his regimental staff officers took their places in the middle of the street facing the flag-draped reviewing stand. Governor Whitman, General Sherrill, General Johnson, and the members of the governor's staff left the stand and grouped themselves in the middle of the street facing the officers of the 367th. The colors that were to be presented to the regiment were carried by General Sherrill and Major Colfax. They took positions just behind the governor. Silence fell over the great crowd as the governor began to speak in a voice that was heard for a block in each direction. GOVERNOR WHITMAN'S ADDRESS "Colonel Moss, Officers and Men of the 367th Infantry of the National Army, Gentlemen of the Union League Club, and My Other Fellow-Americans:" said the governor, "four times have colors been presented by this famed club to colored soldiers upon the very ground where you soldiers stand today. Four times have those colors come back to this historic spot, sometimes tattered and torn, it may be, but always honored and glorified. "On behalf of the Union League State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc State House Available Negro Paper RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, S.A. GIVES NEGROES in Fifth Avenue to New ment G'S HONOR inner" and "Over There"--- Club, I commit to your keeping the most sacred trust ever committed to man—the flag of the United States of America. I charge you by all that is sacred to defend this banner with all the strength and power that God has given you; but in doing so I feel that you will never permit it to be dishonored, to shame yourselves or shame those who have given it to you today. Your country will trust you to be true to yourselves, true to the land of your birth, true to the record of those other soldiers of your race whose valorous deeds have brought honor to these Stars and Stripes. "Go forth and fight for the cause of humanity as those other colored patriots have done, but when you return from the forts, the trenches, the camps, the march, the battle line, bring this flag back without one stripe dishonored, one star obscured. "Bring it back victorious," cried the governor. "They'll do it: hurrah for the Buffaloes," was shouted from the crowd. "May God bless you and keep you," the governor added, "wherever your duty may call you, and bring you back to us to share with all your fellow-soldiers, white or black, who fight under this same old flag of freedom, the abundant measure of praise and pride which your country will then feel for you." COLONEL MOSS' RESPONSE. Colonel Moss advanced toward Governor Whitman and took from his hand the new colors. "Your Excellency, gentlemen of the Union-League Club, and fellow-American citizens," he said, "in accepting this stand of colors I wish to say on behalf of the 367th Regiment of Infantry, which it is my pleasure to command, that we prize this banner more than we can express. But we prize even more the spirit which actuated the givers. Not only does the presentation indicate the delicate respect these givers feel for our colored soldiers, but it also exemplifies the friendship this club has always felt for the soldier and patriot, who sprang from slavery—a friendship based on the principle of a square deal for all men. "That the colored men of this command will protect and honor this flag by night and day, throughout long marches, at play or in a clutch with death itself, is something that goes without saying, and let me say to you today that when this war is over there is going to be another presentation of colors here beside this clubhouse. Mark you well what I say to you in this presence today, for I am --- an officer with eighteen years' experience with colored soldiers, having commanded them in two campaigns; these men are going to present you men in the Union League Club with colors on their return from France. The colors they will present you we want you to hang upon your walls, where they can tell with silent eloquence in all the years to come a story of valor and unutterable patriotism to which all Americans, including our 12,000,000 of black citizens, can listen with a thrill of pride and satisfaction. "And now I take with my own hands this pricelees banner and I place it in the hands of our color bearers beside our individual regimental colors which we are going to take 'over there.'" When Colonel Moss concluded his speech of acceptance he handed the colors to the regimental color bearers and immediately the band started "The Star Spangled Banner." The regiment song leader mounted a big dry-goods box, and the whole regiment began to sing the words of the anthem, thousands of those on the sidewalks joining in. The singers were massed along six blocks in Fifth Avenue, and when the last verse was rinsued, the song leader signalled to the band and once again the 3,000 soldier singers litted their voices; this time it was "Over There," sung as never before sung in New York. UNITED STATES EXPOSITION FOOD SHOW DENVER AUDITORIUM. WAR with all its hideousness, its anguish and heavily burdened features has already brought us some blessings even though it has not reached its termination, and we have evidences of the same here in Colorado. From April 5-12 inclusive, an exhibition of foodstuffs and products has set the people of Denver and Colorado thinking seriously over CONSERVATION, and the thousands of housewives availing themselves of the opportunity to witness the numerous demonstrations for economy and the practice of saving the most and the purchasing of products of the industries in our immediate state are proofs in themselves of the readiness and willingness of the people of this state not to withhold anything that will be contributory to the success of our nation in this calamity. The city auditorium wore the appearance of a mountain system of manufactories, so well arranged were the different stalls with their products and manufactures. Every phase of manufacturing and industrial production was to be seen and the visitors were tipped off to samples of the goods that were edible. Demonstrators were to be seen on every hand answering the questions satisfactorily as they were frequently put to them. Of the largest firms and industrial agencies on exhibition, the Great Western Sugar Company gave very instructive information as to how to get the best result from using a small amount of sugar in the making of preserves, etc. Garrisoned with pamphlets containing recipes, this sugar firm distributed freely to the people through the courtesy of Mr. W. D. Hoover, one of its ancient and modern representatives. This member of the firm from his years and experience in the business proves his help to the nation in these perilous times by giving his brain and recipes to assist the masses, who in turn express their gratitude in the timely act of conservation. On another page in this issue will be found the advertisement of the Great Western Sugar Company whose interest is the people's and whose motto is to serve the greater cause by treating well the smaller. Read this paper, which will contain advertisement from time to time. The show was not only up to the standard but in the general opinion surpassed anything of its kind in the West. Let us hope, while we deplore war, that we lay hold of some of the lessons beneficial to us, and continue to do for our country and our nation that which will help to win at home and abroad. RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources Philadelphia, Pa.—Miss Henrietta T. Seth stood number 13 in a class of 200 who recently took a government examination for stenographer and has been assigned to the great munition plant at Eddystone, a suburban town, at a salary of $1,000 per year, subject to a raise. There were only two race applicants in the class. Camden, N. J.—Superintendent Greer of the Pennsylvania Railroad Terminal reported Saturday that the Government had requested the employment of women in the capacity of porters. Eight women have already been engaged and many more will be hired, they will receive $50.00 a month, and will take the places of Colored men who are being used to better advantage in other branches of the ferry and railroad service. many contests that when the question is asked—"Who won?" the answer is: "The Fourth Platoon as usual." At Camp Stanley the white and colored soldiers work together and use the same public buildings, especially the Y. M. C. A., despite the fact that the training school is in Texas under the supervision of the Southern Department. St. Louis, Mo., April 5,—The Hamilton hotel, Hamilton and Maple avenues, has been forced to dispense with the services of white boys as "bellhops" and has hired girls to act in this capacity. This is the first time in the history of this city that white boys have been replaced by girls of our race. Since the United States entered the war many of the large hotels have employed women and girls a elevator operators and starters, but Austin, Texas.—By a recent vote of the legislators, the ballot is given to the women citizens of the state. The women will pay poll tax after 1918. Added to 14,000 Colored men voters, will come at least 150,000 Colored women. Just as the colored woman has made herself a factor in the educational and religious affairs of the race, she will forge into prominence as a political factor with which all who come hereafter will have to reckon. Hickman, Ky.,—Patriotism among the citizens here is not confined to any one race. The Red Cross pig which was sold here at auction brought the round sum of $318.75, this pig being auctioned off the chapter by J. O. West. A week ago this pig was auctioned off and was bought by the Hickman Bank and Trust Company, who gave it back to the chapter. It fell this time to a wealthy colored man who presented it back to the chapter with a speech, and to the great meriment of the crowd. Camp Stanley, Texas. The colored members of the officer's training school continue to attract favorable attention. Recently on the target range they made scores far above the average. Sergt. J. L. Stevens averaged 96 per cent. out of 100 at all ranges from one hundred yards to six hundred. This gave him second place in camp average and first in his company. Sergeant Cooley was close behind him. The platoon of colored soldiers has won first place in so NO 25 many contests that when the question is asked—"Who won?" the answer is: "The Fourth Platoon as usual." At Camp Stanley the white and colored soldiers work together and use the same public buildings, especially the Y. M. C.

St. Louis, Mo., April 5,—The Hamilton hotel, Hamilton and Maple avenues, has been forced to dispense with the services of white boys as "bellhops" and has hired girls to act in this capacity. This is the first time in the history of this city that white boys have been replaced by girls of our race. Since the United States entered the war many of the large hotels have employed women and girls a elevator operators and starters, but the Hamilton hotel is the first resort to employ girls as "bellhops." The hotel management says it became almost impossible to get white boys. So far the services of the girls have proved entirely satisfactory. Much comment has been made and paid to the 317th Engineers of Camp Sherman, the only Negro organization of its kind in the world. This regiment is composed of young colored men, skilled in the various branches of industries. Men from all the leading colleges of the country. Their work is up to the minute; their efficiency is unquestionable. As an illustration, I will use Company D, the greatest social unit of the regiment, with some of the finest instructed non-commissioned officers in the service today, Corporals Harry D. Evans, of Chicago, John W. Smith of Lexington, Ky.; Charles E. Broadfield, Hampton, Va.; Wm. B. Colvert, of New York City, are conceded to be the greatest social promoters in the entire cantonment, The Commanding Officer, Captain Leroy H. Godman, is a father to the men, they in turn have the highest amount of respect for their commanding officer. Captain Godman is a race man that deserves all the credit and support that the Negro race can bestow upon him; for he is a man who is faithful to his men, country and his God. Always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone for the betterment and uplift of this noble organization. The lieutenants of Company D rank first among the Negro officers of the world. Governor’s Proclamation Coloradoans Called to Respond to Third Liberty Loan Drive With Generous Patriotism TO THE PEOPLE OF COLORADO: ‘The Federal Government has issued a call for the Third Liberty Loan Drive. The citizenship of this commonwealth has displayed a generous patriotism. Not one request from the Nation’s President or your Executive has met with other than ready response. ‘The calls for financial assistance in aid of the prosecution of the war have been numerous; yet how trifling that offering in comparison with the sacrifice which our soldiers are making at the front, They go to make civilization safe, and many will give their lives in that cause, While there they and their families are dependent upon us. Now, therefore, I, Julius C. Gunter, as Governor of the state of Colorado, do hereby urge upon the citizenship of this commonwealth the patriotic duty and imperative necessity of meeting Colorado's quota in the Third Liberty Loan Drive. Let Colorado's citizenship _ now, as in the past, generously and abundantly respond to this call of our country. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the state of Colorado to be affixed, at the State Capitol, in Denver, this ‘twenty-first day of February, A.

Explain New "Wheat Ruling to Thousands of Customers—In- sures Greater Food Saving. purchase of wheat flour and are doing their utmost to explain the new regu- lation to the housewife. This ruling by the U. S. Food Administration requires each purchaser of wheat flour “to buy one pound of cereal substitute, one kind ‘or assorted, for every pound of wheat flour, It was necessary to re strict the uSe of wheat flour in order that the allies and our fighting forces abroad might be assured of an ade- quate supply of wheat to meet their vital needs. This supply must come from our savings because we haye al- Feady sent dur fiormal surplus. Wheat saving pledge cards were for- warded by the Food Administration to all retail food merchants, and these are being signed and posted in stores throughout the country. This card states, “We pledge ourselves loyally to carry out the Food Administration pro- gram. In accordance with this order ‘we will not sell any wheat flour except where the purchaser buys an equal welght of one or more of the following, a greater use of which in the home will save wheat: “Cornmeal, corn flour, edible corn starch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour, soy bean flour, feterita flour and ‘meals, rice, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats and buckwheat flour.” Some confusion has resulted on the part of the consumer in construing this “50-50” ruling to mean that an equal amount in value of substitutes must be purchased with wheat flour. ‘This is a mistaken idea. ‘The ruling states that the consumer in purchasing flour shall “buy at the same time an equal weight of other cereals.” One exception to this ruling 1s con- cerning graham flour and whole wheat flour, which may be sold at the ratio of three pounds to five pounds of wheat flour, ‘This provision Is made because approximately 25 per cent. more of the wheat berry is used in the manufacture of these flours than stand- ard wheat flour. Another exception is that concern: ing mixed flours containing less than 50 per cent. of wheat flour, which may be sold without substitutes. Retailers, however, are forbidden to sell mixed flours containing more than 50 per cent, of wheat flour to any person un- less the amount of wheat flour substi- tutes sold is sufficient to.make the to- tal amount of substitutes, including those mixed in flours, equal to the to- tal amount in wheat flour in the mixed flour. For instance, if any mixed flour is purchased containing 60 per cent. wheat flour and 40 per cent. substi- tutes it Is necessary that an additional 20 per cent. of substitutes be pur- chased. This brings it to the basis of one pound of substitutes for each pound of wheat flour. ‘A special exemption may be granted upon application in the case of special- ly prepared infants’ and invalids’ food containing flour where the necessity is shown. Some misunderstanding seems to ex- ist on the part of consumers in assum- ing that with the purchase of wheat flour one must confine the additional 50 per cent, purchase to one of the substitutes, This is not the case, One may select from the entire range ot substitutes a sufficient amount of each to bring the total weight of aM substi- tutes equal to the weight of the wheat flour purchased. For instance, If a purchase of 24 pounds of wheat flour is made a range of substitutes may be selected as follows: Cornmeal, 8 pounds; corn grits, 4 pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buckwheat, 2 pounds; corn starch, 1 pound; hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats, 3 pounds. ‘These substitutes may be used In the following manner: Cornmeal, 8 Pounds.—Corn bread, no flour; corn muffins or spoon bread, one-fourth flour or one-third rice or one-third hominy; 20 per cent. substi- tutes in whole bread. Corn Starch, 1 Pound.—Thickening gravy, making custard, one-third sub- stitute In cake. Corn Grits, 4 Pounds.—Fried like mush, used with meal in making corn bread. Rolled Oats, 8 Pounds.—One-fourth to one-third substitutes in bread, one- half substitute in muffins; breakfast porridge, use freely; oatmeal cookies, oatmeal soup. Buckwheat Flour, 2 Pounds.—One- fourth substitute in bread, buckwheat cakes. Hominy, 2 Pounds.—Botled for din- ner, baked for dinner, with cheese sauce. Rice, 4 Pounds.—One-fourth substi- tute in wheat bread, one-third substi- tute in corn bread, boiled for dinner (a Dread cut), as a breakfast food, to thicken soups, rice pudding instead of cake or ple, rice batter cakes, Several grocers have steted that their customers who strictly observe the 1i wheatless meals each week find \STYLE H UARTERS [/ s====) STYLE HEADO ane l voere Saciety Brand Clothes are so S 1 | \ | N t Spring Suits ASA pipe Os 18s 4 = = ie ESPITE war prices on all costs of materials and labor that enter into the produe- D tion of men’s and young men’s high grade suits this Spring, the enormous buying power of our mammoth organization enables us to offer you the choicest of all- wool fabrics, tailored in the newest and most up-to-the-minute styles, by America’s foremost manufaeturers of men’s clothing, Society Brand included, at astonishing low prices.

Carlson when the latter was governor, is believed to be in the midst of the fighting in Picardy, France, according to word received from him by Mr. Carlson. Milliken earned his captaincy at the officers' training camp at Fort Riley and almost immediately thereafter was sent East and later to France. Government attention to the Denver & Salt Lake railroad is one of the recommendations made by the governor to the director of railroads, William G. McAdoo, as a war necessity. Proper financial backing, or even control, temporarily, by the government of the railroad would mean increased coal production from 1,000,000 tons during 1918 to 5,000,000 tons, it was pointed out. The weight of a heavy fall of snow at Crested Butte, caused the roof of an old two-story frame structure in which E. R. von Kleigass was sleeping to collapse, burying him beneath eight feet of snow and debris. A rescue party was formed and after several hours of digging, Kleigass was rescued, uninjured except for a few bruises. The molybdenum fields near Climax, Summit county, are considered the largest known molybdenum mines in North America. This enterprise was only recently started, but it is estimated that the production of molybdenum in Colorado will have reached $1,000 per month by the middle of the year. Everything from "Victory" crackers to pianos, imitation butter and vacuum cleaners, pinto beans and Liberty bonds, garden stuffs and artificial legs, malted milk and motor oils, and many exhibits greeted visitors to Uncle Sam's show in the Auditorium in Denver. After telephoning Dr. W. B. Collier of Littleton that she had swallowed poison, and refusing to say where she was, Mrs. Ruth Reed, 21 years, of 3210 South Sherman street, Denver, found her way to the Littleton hospital. She staggered into the hospital and was immediately given attention. Colorado farmer boys who are in camps receiving military training are to be granted furloughs this summer to assist in crop production, according to Gov. Julius C. Gunter, who returned from Washington, where he had been in conference for two weeks with President Wilson and other officials. The Humane Society has been asked by the State Council of Defense to investigate a report that a herd of sheep near Glenwood Springs is being neglected, causing losses in the meat supply, and to prosecute the owner if investigation warrants action. "I'll be all right in a day or two, and can get a crack at the Kaiser yet," is what D. C. Hart of Montrose, exclaimed on gaining consciousness after being found in a dying condition in one of the coke ovens near Crested Butte. Orders have been issued for all persons who have more than a thirty-day supply of flour on hand to report to the U. S. Food Administration in Denver or to the nearest county food administrator or his deputy before May 1st. John Schaedel, 38, was shot and instantly killed in the front yard of his home in Denver by Edward Thompson, who had gone to the house earlier and found his wife, Minnie M. Thompson, acting as housekeeper for Schaedel. William E. Van Etten of Boulder, who came to Colorado in his fifty-third year for his health, has celebrated his 101st birthday and remarks that the climate of the state has certainly done wonders for him. Charles Alvin Davis, aged 19, station agent and operator for the Union Pacific at Deer Trail, while kindling a fire with kerosene, was burned so that he died from his injury at St. Luke's hospital, Denver. Walter A. Patterson, a salesman of Denver, is seeking $20,000, he alleges as damages from Charles Leftwich, former member of the state Legislature, in a suit on file at Fort Collins, in which Patterson charges Leftwich with alienating the affections of Patterson's wife. The anniversary of the entrance of the United States into the war was celebrated at Breckenridge with special services at Grand Army hall, which opened the Liberty loan campaign. George F. Phurmond, 42, a recruit of the Ninth Company of the general service infantry, whose home is Falls City, Neb., killed himself at Fort Logan by cutting his throat with a razor. Children have been forbidden to attend any public meetings in Golden until the present epidemic of scarlet fever and measles or some disease that resembles each of them, is ended. Provost Marshal John Evans called 1,029 men of draft age to the colors. They will depart for Camp Funston during the five-day period beginning April 26. Lincoln county was one of the first counties in the state to exceed its Liberty loan quota, which was $102,900. Within two days after the campaign opened that amount had been exceeded by about $5,000, over 1,000 subscribers, mostly individuals, participating. More than 250 bakers of the state met in Denver to organize the Colorado division of the national bakers' service committee, an organization of bakers of the country for conservation of wheat in co-operation with the food administration. Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado Western Newspaper Union News Service. The Colorado and Wyoming Young Men's Christian Association met for their thirtieth convention in Denver. During the first day of the third Liberty Loan drive Coloradoans subscribed $890,000 of the $20,312,90 quota. Sixty members were admitted to the Denver Council of the Knights of Columbus when three degrees were exemplified. The department of the Woman's State Council of Defense on women in industry has divided its work into six divisions. Grand Junction and Mesa county sent away twenty-one cases of clothing for Belgians and French, there being 3,700 articles.

Including the paving of Main street and the finishing of buildings now in course of erection, it is calculated that there is $200,000 in improvements now authorized in the city of Montrose. The entire wheat supply of Colorado must be turned over to the government at the nearest mill or grain elevator before May 1, according to an order issued by Herbert Hoover of the U. S. Food Administration and approved by the Southwestern Food zone of which Colorado is a part, at a meeting held in Kansas City April 4. Convinced that the interests of the country would be better served in war times if labor for government work could be mobilized through one source, the Colorado labor advisory committee sent resolutions to this effect to President Wilson, Secretary of Labor Wilson and President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor. Proposed increases in rates on electricity and gas furnished by utilities companies for power and domestic uses show gradual growth of production costs over a year ago, according to schedules filed with the Colorado public utilities commission. Advances in coke, oil, labor, coal and supplies are given as reason for increased rates. Patriotic meetings were held under the auspices of the county councils of defense in almost every county of state on April 6. In some counties there were as many as ten meetings that observed the first anniversary of the United States participation in the war and the opening of the third Leroy Loan drive. Several counties are carrying on speaking campaigns that will last ten days. A. J. Turner of Cañon City is the new chairman of the Fremont county Council of Defense which now has one of the best war organizations in the state and is carrying on a campaign of patriotic education in all school districts of the county. With reports pouring in to state headquarters from all sections of Colorado showing that many counties fully met their maximum quota, while a number oversubscribed from 300 to as high as 600 per cent of their allotted quota on Saturday, the first day of the third Liberty loan drive, indications were that the people of the Centennial state would far oversubscribe the state quota of $20,312,000. J. F. McMasters of Denver drew the seventh best tract of land in the government drawing at Montrose, Samuel C. Wasson of Avondale captured the first tract. Joseph Neifman of Chicago, Edith Hazlett of Delta, Chester Torrey of Olathe and Frank Whitemack of Boncasbo were drawn in the order named. There were 105 units of land offered for settlement of which thirty were taken. There were 154 applicants for the thirty tracts disposed of. The board of trustees of Colorado College at Colorado Springs issued a formal statement to the alumni of the college in which it is stated that the dismissal of former Dean Edward Parsons will stand, and that no further consideration will be given to appeals for his reinstatement. The city of Alamosa opened the Liberty Loan drive for the county by a great mass meeting, attended by so many that a second meeting was held at the close of the first. Subscriptions for the one day totaled $75,000 out of a total quota of $86,600. Democracy and Liberty Undergoing the Supreme Test. Americans Face Great Duties in Providing Food Products and Aiding Our Soldiers and Our Allies in War. (By HAPSBURG LIEBE of the Vigilantes.) Democracy and Liberty are not always synonymous, perhaps, but they mean the same to us now, certainly. A military autocracy, after more than forty years of thorough, and cunning preparation, a great part of it by means of weapons of our own invention, has thrust our Democracy and our Liberty into the crucible to test it out, to see whether it would hold good. They did not believe it would hold good, those Prussian militarists; they do not believe it yet. We believe it will, but our belief has been made up heretofore largely of egotism and blindness. Democracy and Liberty, the world's with our own, is now undergoing the supreme test. Of course there is dross, and it is coming to the top rapidly. There is inefficiency, mismanagement, grave mistakes that even our national leaders have made; there has been some graft, no doubt; there has been some playing of politics; there has been profiteering, but all this is only the dross floating to the top of the crucible. We were never a military nation, you know. The biggest of our mistakes, I think, was in our shipbuilding program, but we were never a shipbuilding nation, either. However, this dross is all being cleared away. Fully 60 per cent of the winning of this war depends upon us here at home. We have three great duties upon us now as we never had them upon us before—those of us who can grow food products must grow more than ever; we must all aid in the saving of foods, and especially wheat, meats, and sugar; and all of us who can, though it may necessitate some sacrifice, must buy these new Liberty bonds. Properly carried through, these three great duties will prove the overbalancing power in the winning of the war, beyond a doubt. The growing of great crops and the conservation of food, and the buying of Liberty bonds, quickly mean enough food for our soldiers and our allies, and enough ships to carry it. If we fall in this the die of destiny is quite likely to fall with its skull-and-crossbones upward for us; if we do not fall, then Democracy and Liberty will come out of the crucible covered with glory. The result is inevitable. WHO FIGHTS AT HOME? SAY I! (By ROLAND G. USHER, of the Vigilantes.) We cannot fight a war and still do business as usual. This means you and not other people. You might as well come to it first as last. The war is unusual and we shall have to have unusual business to deal with it. The gist of it is this: The nation has just so many hands and just so much energy—just so much raw material and labor. There are only 24 hours in the day and 365 days in the year. We can make only so many things in a given time with a given supply of time and material. If we make some things we cannot make others. If we put sugar into candy to stuff idle women we cannot have jam to feed the soldiers. If we make autos for pleasure only, we cannot use that material, labor and energy for tanks and airplanes. If we burn the gasoline on Sundays, the boys in France cannot use it in battle. The whole truth is that we must stop business as usual. And—this is where you come in—you must stop spending as usual. Do it now. Put your money into gunpowder and not face powder; into tanks and not limousines; into food for the trenches instead of spending it in hotels and restaurants. But you cannot buy directly for the army. The government must do it. Give the government the money and BUY A LIBERTY BOND. Your Bond Buys Explosives. Many farmers here in America have used giant powder or dynamite in blasting out stumps and rocks and in preparing a hillside for an orchard. Explosives are dangerous to handle and we all duck our heads and run when the charge is to be set off. Over in France today our sons are having the stuff hurled at them every minute of the day and night with an occasional volley of gas shells that choke and strangle to death and they don't dare run. With the boys looking death in the face over there, we can do no more than look the issue squarely in the face here at home and buy Liberty Bonds and see that they are provided with ammunition to return the kaiser just as good as he is sending across to our trenches. We Are at War! Buy Bonds! Do many farmers, far removed from the war, realize the seriousness of our present predicament? The very fact that the farmer is not immediately in touch with the war makes the danger more imminent. Russia is made up of farming population, probably three-fourths of which knew very little of what the war over there meant. As a result the army was not provisioned and money not kept in circulation and the military machine collapsed. Support our army by buying bonds. SATISFIED CUSTOMERS Means that those who come back to us again and again to buy after they've made their first purchase at our store always receive satisfactory service. They know that whatever we sell them is thoroughly reliable. They know we do not ask more than fair profit on our sales. They know they can rely on our advice—truth is our stand-by. They know that carefulness, honesty, courteousy, cleanliness and promptness characterize us. John W.

N Saturday evening last when the president in opening the third Liberty Loan Campaign in Baltimore accepted the challenge of the German government, that the settlement between the Central powers and her enemies be made by force, all America was stirred as never before in her history, and pacifist, slacker and those waiting to act, had the last so-called impediment removed, as the chief magistrate of the nation voiced the sentiments of the entire population when with firmness he asserted: "There is, therefore, but one response possible from us: Force, force to the utmost, force without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant force which shall make right the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust!" "It looks," says one, "as the president has at last realized that fire must be met with fire." We agree this is no time for criticism, as the tremendous responsibility on our shoulders necessitates every loyal American getting behind our leader and giving him the help that must bring us to the goal in safety. Prominent among the arch-supporters of the president were several regiments of our soldiers, headed by their own band and who in passing the reviewing stand received the cheers of the president and his party, the general expression being that they could readily comply with Uncle Sam's wish in permanently defeating the enemy. The time is then ripe when every citizen, true to himself, to his country, to humanity and the freedom of the peoples of the world, should stir him and herself to more activity, taking up the position of helping to bring about a speedy termination of the war, by buying the LIBERTY BONDS, and after engaging in self-denying actions, requested by the government we can give our unstinted support in some form or other that would merit the commendation of the leader of our nation. Realizing that danger is imminent, we go in the spirit and faith of our American traditions! "TIS BUT TO DO OR DIE, to continue this struggle until the world is safe for RIGHT AND JUSTICE. GOVERNOR WHITMAN OF NEW YORK GIVES CORRECT INTERPRETATION OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. W HEN we think of the repetition of the words addressed to the soldiers of our race over a century ago and today with emphasis in events not dissimilar, we surely must exhibit our appreciation by striking out forever from the text-book of our thoughts, "black this and black that, down-trodden element of creation, consignment to perdition from our very concep- tion, born for servitude and abuse, and all the other deplorable states and conditions of life that our lords of commercialism have been for years forcing us to accept." With calmness and depth of feeling, think of the following words as they fall from the lips of the Chief Executive of the State of New York to that crowd and then view the advocate of the LARGER HUMAN LIBERTY, the champion of HUMAN RIGHTS when filled with the spirit of true Americanism and electrified with the devotion to his country and his country's inhabitants, unfalteringly and unreservedly he expresses—"your country will trust you to be true to yourselves, true to the land of your birth, true to the record of those other soldiers of your race whose valorous deeds have brought glory to these Stars and Stripes." Tho' content with the faith and confidence in our men, Governor Whitman offers a reminder of the susceptibilities of humanity to wrong-doing, and in his accustomed manner further addressed, "Go forth and fight for the cause of humanity as those other colored patriots have done, but when you return from the forts, the trenches, the camps, the march, the battle line, bring this flag (which he was presenting to the soldiers from the Union League Club) without one stripe dishonored, one star obscured." Continuing, he said, "bring it back victorious," and reflecting upon the former successes of our troops and having an assurance of victory, he gives them this parting Benediction: "May God bless you and keep you, wherever your duty may call you, and bring you back to us to share with all your fellow-soldiers, white or black, who fight under this same old FLAG OF FREEDOM, the abundant measure of praise and pride which your country will then feel for you." Fellow-citizens! This is addressed to soldiers—this is addressed to us. This is the same Governor Whitman who, when speaking some time ago at a meeting of the Booker Washington memorial impressed us with the knowledge that AMERICA IS THE LAND OF OUR BIRTH and told us this being our home, we had no other alternative but to remain and help to right the wrongs done towards humanity. How can we doubt that this is the crucial moment, when in the Biblical language, "from the fulness of the heart the mouth speaketh?" Can we forget a Madden of Illinois, a late Foraker and now a Whitman? No! Not while we exist, and act the real American in every sense of the word. A great lesson, a wonderful instruction, an ineffaceable truth in this event of the presentation of the colors to this 367th Infantry regiment—an event which should never fade from our memory as in this speech of a fearless American the people of our race can readily find a hope, a power, a lasting tribute to their county and a never-to-be-forgotten lesson in the training school of a Whitman which makes us buoyant with the spirit of freedom, gives us a correct interpretation of the provisions of our constitution and a restoration of the place to which we rightly belong—members of this GREAT AMERICAN CITIZENRY. Challenge Flung to Germans by President Wilson in Baltimore Address. OPENSTHIRDLOANDRIVE OPENSTHIRDLOANDRIVE Cheap Triumph of Teutons in Russia Shows Aim to Strangle Weaker Nations. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Baltimore, Md.—President Wilson, in an address here April 6, said: Fellow Citizens—This is the anniversary of our acceptance of Germany's challenge to fight for our right to live and be free, and for the sacred rights of free men everywhere. The nation is awake. There is no need to call to it. We know what the war must cost, our utmost sacrifice, the lives of our fittest men, and, if need be, all that we possess. The loan we are met to discuss is one of the least parts of what we are called upon to give and to do, though in itself imperative. The people of the whole country are alive to the necessity of it, and are ready to lend to the utmost. Even where it involves a sharp skimping and daily sacrifice to lend out of meager earnings. They will look with reprobation and contempt upon those who can and will not, upon those who demand a higher rate of interest upon those who think of it as a mere commercial transaction. I have not come, therefore, to urge the loan, I have come only to give you, if I can, a more vivid conception of what it is for. The reasons for this great war, the reason why it had to come, the need to fight it through, and the issues that hang upon its outcome, are more clearly disclosed now than ever before. It is easy to see just what this particular loan means because the cause we are fighting for stands more sharply revealed than at any previous crisis of the momentous struggle. The man who knows least can now see plainly how the cause of Justice stands and what the imperishable thing is he is asked to invest in. Men in America may be more sure than they ever were before that the cause is their own, and that, if it should be lost, their own great nation's place and mission in the world would be lost with it. I call you to witness, my fellow countrymen, that at no stage of this terrible business have I judged the purposes of Germany intemperately. I should be ashamed in the presence of affairs so grave, so fraught with the destinies of mankind throughout all the world, to speak with truculence, to use the weak language of hatred or vindictive purpose. We must judge as we would be judged. I have sought to learn the objects Germany has in this war from the mouths of her own spokesmen, and to deal as frankly with them as I wished them to deal with me. I have laid hare our own ideals, our own purposes without reserve or doubtful phrase, and have asked them to say as plainly what it is that they seek. We have ourselves proposed no injustice, no aggression. We are ready whenever the final reckoning is made, to be just to the German people, deal fairly with the German power, as with all others. There can be no difference between peoples in the final judgment, if it is indeed to be a righteous judgment. To propose anything but justice, even-handed and dispassionate justice, to Germany, at any time, whatever the outcome of the war, would be to renounce and dishonor our own cause. For we ask nothing that we are not willing to accord. It has been with this thought unar I have sought to learn from those who spoke for Germany whether it was justice or dominion and the execution of their own will upon the other nations of the world that the German leaders were seeking. They have answered, answered in unmistakable terms. They have avowed that it was not justice, but dominion and the unhindered execution of their own will. The avowal has not come from Germany's statesmen. It has come from her military leaders, who are her real rulers. Her statesmen have said that they wished peace, and were ready to discuss its terms whenever their opponents were willing to sit down at the conference table with them. Her present chancellor has said—in indefinite and uncertain terms, indeed, and in phrases that often seem to deny their own meaning, but with as much plainness as he thought prudent—that he believed that peace should be based upon the principles which we had declared would be our own in the final settlement. At Brest-Litovsk her civilian delegates spoke in similar terms; professed their desire to conclude a fair peace and accord to the peoples with whose fortunes they were dealing the right to choose their own allegiances. But action accompanied and followed the profession. Their military masters, the men who act for Germany and exhibit her purpose in execution, proclaimed a very different conclusion. We cannot mistake what they have done—in Russia, in Finland, in the Mulligan and Cohen Set Five Years. Denver.-Frank H. Mulligan, former city detective, and Philip Cohen, Fort Morgan and Sterling fruit merchant, convicted at Brighton of the robbery of Mrs. Irene Nolan at the Model road house Jan. 2, were sentenced at Brighton to serve not less than five years nor more than seven in the penitentiary at Cafon City. Sentence was imposed after Judge Class had listened to arguments by attorneys for the defendants for new trials. Motions were overruled. --- Ukraine, in Rumania. The real test of their justice and fair play has come. From this we may judge the rest. They are enjoying in Russia a cheap triumph in which no brave or gallant nation can long take pride. A great people, helpless by their own act, lies for the time at their mercy. Their fair professions are forgotten. They nowhere set up justice, but every where impose their power and exploit everything for their own use and age grandizement; and the peoples of conquered provinces are invited to be free under their dominion. THE COLORADO STATESMAN Are we not justified in believing that they would do the same things at their western front if they were not there face to face with armies whom even their countless divisions cannot overcome? If, when they have felt their check to be final, they should propose favorable and equitable terms with regard to Belgium and France and Italy, could they blame us if we concluded that they did so only to assure themselves of a free hand in Russia and the East? Their purpose undoubtedly is to make all the Slavic peoples, all the free and ambitious nations of the Baltic peninsula, all the lands that Turkey has dominated and misruled, subject to their will and ambition and build upon that dominion an empire of force upon which they fancy they can then erect an empire of gain and commercial supremacy—an empire as hostile to the Americas as to the Europe which it will overawe—an empire which will ultimately master Persia, India, and the peoples of the Far East. The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West In such a program our ideals, the ideals of justice and humanity and liberty, the principle of the free self-determination of nations upon which all the modern world insists, can play 10 part. They are rejected for the ideals of power; for the principle that the strong must rule the weak, that trade must follow the flag, whether those to whom it is taken welcome it or not, that the peoples of the world are to be made subject to the patronage and overlordship of those who have the power to enforce it. That program once carried out, America and all who care or dare to stand with her must arm and prepare themselves to contest the mastery of the world, a mastersy in which the rights of commen men, the rights of women, and of all who are weak, must, for the time being, be trodden under foot and disregarded, and the old-age-long struggle for freedom and right begin again at its beginning. Everything that America has lived for and loved and grown great to vindicate and bring to a glorious realization will have fallen in utter ruin and the gates of mercy once more pitlessly shut upon mankind! A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. That program once carried out, Ampossible! And yet is not that what the whole course and action of the German armies has meant wherever they have moved? I do not wish, even in this moment of utter disillusionment to judge harshly or unrightely. I judge only what the German arms have accomplished with unpitying thoroness throut every fair region they have touched. What, then, are we to do? For myself, I am ready, ready still, ready even now, to discuss a fair and just and honest peace at any time that it is sincerely proposed—a peace in which the strong and the weak shall fare allike, but the answer when I proposed such a peace, came from the German commanders in Russia, and I cannot mistake the meaning of the answer. THE COLORADO STATESMAN I know that you accept it. All the world shall know that you accept it. It shall appear in the utter sacrifice and self-forgreatfulness with which we shall give all that we love and all that we have to redeem the world and make it fit for free men like ourselves to live in. This now is the meaning of all that we do. Let everything that we say, my fellow countrymen, everything that we henceforth plan and accomplish, ring true to this response, until the majesty and might of our concerted power shall fill the thought and utterly defeat the force of those who flout and misprize what we honor and hold dear. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. Germany has once more said that force, and force alone, shall decide whether justice and peace shall reign in the affairs of men, whether right as America conceives it or dominion as she conceives it shall determine the destinies of mankind. There is, therefore, but one response possible from us: Force, force to the utmost, force without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant force which shall make right the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust! Secretary McAdoo at Philadelphia. Philadelphia,—One of the greatest patriotic demonstrations witnessed here in many years marked the opening in Philadelphia of the campaign for the third Liberty loan.

HOW WORKMEN DO THEIR BIT Investment Brings Good Returns, In Addition to Giving Financial Assistance Every Loyal Citizen Owes His Government. (By EVA DEAN of the Vigilantes.) It was just another day in the factory. There was nothing prophetic in the hum of the machines; it was quite the everyday hum. The workmen talked loudly to be heard; they always talked while they worked; they liked the sound of their own voices. It mattered not much what they said—the same joke will do day after day in a factory; an old one is almost as good as a new one to break the mental monotony. When one's habitual activity is with one's fingers one isn't very critical of mental efforts. Still, were you to ask them, any of the men would have said they preferred an argument to all other kinds of brain exercise. Argument is what they would have called any of the verbal volleys they fired back and forth at one another from their inexpert mental batteries, while their expert fingers moved ceaselessly at their tasks. And nowadays there is always enough to argue about—the war! The only trouble—though no one really seemed to mind that—was that there was no one around to uphold the government in these controversies. Of the hundred men employed—for it was a small factory—there was but one with an American-born parent, though a considerable number were themselves born in America. The one hundred were all here by choice, however, and hardly one ever really expected to live anywhere else. But they talked as though they might; and one could imagine they expected the United States to immediately offer them inducements to stay when it heard of their intended leaving. They Discuss Liberty Bonds. Charles, in the lightest corner—a few years ago he would have been Karl—was always talking about the price of food: "I take a Liberty bond? Indeed I'll not! If the government had kept prices down, and protected the working man, and kept the rlch man from making war profits, why, I might. There is going to be trouble in this country some day and the government deserves all that is coming to them. The government ought to do everything it can to keep the good will of the people. Why—beer—" Charles can never talk long without mentioning beer. Jo—whose early training was in a protectorate—was a born financier. He had actually been talking about a bond on the dollar-a-week plan, but no one in the workrooms seemed to think it a good investment. It would be better to buy sugar or whisky and keep it for a higher price. So Jo had simply talked for the past two weeks; he had not decided. One might get 4½ per cent, or even 5 per cent later! It would be better to wait. "The government don't feed the boys in camp!" shouted the porter. "Of course it don't," yelled the thin man by the window. "We don't know what goes on there. No wonder lots of them commit suicide!" "Well—I'd like to buy a bond," broke in Old Bailey, courageously. Old Railey was born among the Pennsylvania Dutch. "But, with sixteen dollars a week, and a family, I don't see how I can." "Nor do I," said the tall young man of whom the men sald, "His mother was born here." All Are Buying Bonds. The machines hummed qn, the voices rising and falling in opposition, when suddenly the eager face of Jo—the news gatherer—was thrust through the door: "There's an Italian banker in the second room talking to the wops about Liberty bonds," he informed. The voices ceased. Everybody wished he could hear. "He's still talking! All the wops are in there," spread the news to every corner of the building; and then close upon that: "They're buying them; every one of the wops are buying them!" In a shorter time than it could have taken a man to walk through the building, every one in it knew that the wops—the lowest-paid men of them all—were buying Liberty bonds. Presently all the workmen who could understand English were assembled in one room. They looked about curiously at one another; never before had they seen themselves en masse. It was a strange assembly, with its dirty aprons, its rough, lined faces and quiet tongues. It must have seemed such to the salesman; his mouth set perceptibly as he looked about at his audience. The Italian orator had gesticulated grandly; and there had been much of "Italla! Italla!" But this man, after his first look at the faces before him, decided not to talk patrolism. So he simply stated that our government was at war. Very clearly he explained what that meant financially; he acknowledged that living was high and hard, but nevertheless everyone who did not help was a slacker. And, in convincing conclusion: "If we don't ing to take it anyhow. It has to have it. It will make us pay it in taxes; and then we not only will not have any interest, but we'll have nothing to show for the money. In the second room they all helped. How many of you are going to help? How many here want bonds?" Partnership With Government. Evidently the factory considered it a "good argument." And then the wops, with their despised salaries, had subscribed; everyone was thinking about that. The hands began to go up, and a line of applicants was quickly formed. The tall young man (whose mother was an American) had stood, hesitating, until he saw Old Bailey's gray head bend over the signature bench; and then, smiling, he slipped in behind him, muttering, "If he can, I can." Now the machines were humming again and argument began once more. The thin man by the window was the first to speak. "Well," he commented, "we've got to do something for the boys!" "When I get this paid, maybe they'll have a 5 per cent bond," said Jo, the financier. "America and Italy; we gotta make kill alla de kings—alla no good!" nodded one of the contributors from the second room, with approval. It was the same everyday hum of the machines, but the factory was different. It was no longer a critical, skeptical spectator of the struggle of civilization, bitterly suspicious of its own government. It and the government were now partners. The war no no longer the government's war; it was our war, our army, our boys, and the factory was doing its bit! The bond salesman, perhaps, added up the result of his work with some satisfaction; but by far the greater and most important part of it he knows nothing about. WOMEN TO THE FORE Wives and Mothers Know Value of Liberty Bonds. War Behind the Lines Is Being Prosecuted on a Tremendous Scale—Every Woman Can Help Do Something. (By ALBERT W. ATWOOD, Financial Writer for the Saturday Evening Post.) The day seems to have passed when woman's education consisted of piano lessons and a little polite French. Now she studies biology, psychology, and all the other oblogies. In this great and radical change in the position of woman it will not do to overlook the change in her relation to money matters. It is no longer unwomanly to know something about money. Feminine charm is not diminished by knowing the difference between a bond and a share of stock. Millions of women earn their living today. Hundreds of thousands have independent means and must decide for themselves in affairs financial. More and more of the wives, mothers, and sisters not only spend the household money, but are consulted by the men when an investment is to be made. It matters not whether the investment consists of a victrola, an automobile, or a bond. It is said men do not take their wives into their confidence when they gamble or take a flyer, but it is also said that deception in these matters does not pay. So there is every material reason why women should do their part and more in floating the Liberty bonds. Indeed a woman recognizes a gold dollar just as quick as a man, and when it pays good interest in addition she is not going to turn it down. But there is more than a purely business and selfish side to the women of this country. They have surprised even themselves with their executive ability and powers of business organization. The Red Cross and every other variety of relief work has been in its detail largely the result of woman's effort. Behind the lines women are prosecuting the war on a tremendous scale. There are millions of men as well as women who cannot fight in the trenches, who cannot even drive motortrucks or work in munition factories. There are some people who cannot even successfully raise a vegetable garden, but there is not an adult man or woman outside the poorhouse and the hospital who cannot either buy or help to sell a Liberty bond. It is the least they can do. Don't Buy Too Big a Bond. Here is a word of advice for the farmer bond purchaser. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Your government doesn't want you to "strap" yourself or run into financial difficulties trying to pay for a bond. Buy one small enough so you will be able to pay for it in the allotted time without having to borrow money to meet the obligation. Its value will represent your savings for that period of time. If your circumstances won't permit of you purchasing a $1,000 bond, buy only a $500 one. Don't complicate our already complicated financial problem by assuming a debt you can't pay. He Wants to Win This War. Do You? A father in a little Illinois town received a cablegram the other day from General Pershing, announcing the death of his two sons over there, "killed in action." He went out and sold his house and bought Liberty Bonds. "I'm the only one left now and I'll rent a room for myself," was his only STANDARD CARS OF ORDNANCE BUREAU VARIETY OF THE VEHICLES AND PARTS KEPT TO A MINIMUM BY CONSTANT EFFORT. MANY BOOKKEEPERS NEEDED Civil Service Examinations for Such Positions to Be Held Weekly—Raw Cotton From the United States Goes to Spain. (From Committee on Public Information.) Washington.—Among the standard motor vehicles being provided by the ordnance bureau are the following: The ammunition truck, which has a steel body designed to accommodate packing boxes of any type of ammunition mounted on a four-wheel drive truck chassis. The equipment repair truck, making use of the same type of chassis, has bins and drawers for spare parts and material for repairing personnel equipment, rifles and machine guns, leather equipment, etc. The artillery repair truck has a four-wheel drive chassis and a small machine-shop body with equipment consisting of a lathe, drill press, bench grinder, electric drill, welding outfit, air riveting hammer, milling attachment, blacksmith outfit, and other tools. Electric power is supplied by a gasoline-driven generator. The $2\frac{1}{2}$-ton artillery tractor weighs about 5,000 pounds and is capable of making 12 miles an hour under favorable road conditions. The five-ton artillery tractor, weighing 9,000 pounds and capable of a speed of six miles an hour, will handle a load of 10,000 pounds. It is intended for use with 4.7-inch gun and 6-inch howitzer material. A load of 18,000 pounds is the maximum for the 10-ton artillery tractor, which will make about $4\frac{1}{2}$ miles an hour on high speed. The 15-ton artillery tractor and the 120-horsepower artillery tractor will be supplied in limited numbers. They are of the track-laying type similar to those used by the French and British governments and are for heavy loads which are not subdivided for transportation. Other standard motor equipment consists of the reel and fire-control truck with a four-wheel drive truck chassis and rear wheels replaced by caterpillar trucks; reconnaissance car, a 1-ton truck capable of a speed of from 30 to 40 miles an hour; the light repair truck, weighing about 2,400 pounds; the $1\frac{1}{2}$-ton trailer for antialcraft guns; the 3-inch field gun trailer, which is utilized for hauling ammunition as well as the 3-inch gun material. Tanks and other armored land vehicles are designed, procured, and maintained by the ordnance bureau. There has been a constant effort to keep the variety of vehicles and parts to a minimum. Only one size of tire is used on all the heavier trucks and trailers, this size also being used on similar vehicles by the quartermaster corps, signal corps and engineers. The same magneto is used on all types of ordnance vehicles. All types of ordnance truck bodies are interchangeable on all truck chassis issued to the artillery. So urgent is the government's need for bookkeepers that civil service examinations to fill positions of this character will be held throughout the United States each Tuesday until further notice. Women as well as men are eligible. Two classes of examinations are announced. A grammar school education or its equivalent is required of applicants for each class, with the further stipulation that those who wish to take the bookkeeper-typewriter examination must have had at least six months' experience in bookkeeping, and those who would undertake the clerk-bookkeeper examination, one year's experience in clerical work, six months of which must have been in bookkeeping. The vacancies to be filled from the register obtained from these examinations are in the departmental service at Washington and offer entrance salaries of $1,000 a year. These examinations are open not only to all citizens of the United States but also to subjects of allied nations who are otherwise qualified for the positions offered. There is being prepared in the adjutant general's office a new "pay card" which will be kept by the personnel officer and will show the pay status of the man at all times. Should a man be transferred or detached from his company he will carry his card with him. This is expected to eliminate the many causes for delayed payments of men so transferred, and to do away with many of the annoyances that have heretofore existed. During the first year of war the army paid $60,000,000 for horse-drawn vehicles and harness; more than $50,000,000 for horses, mules and harness. Expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, for fuel and forage are estimated at more than $500,000,000. A standard system of inspection by which federal food administrators may keep a check on commercial bakers is being worked out by the department of agriculture and the food administration. The war trade board has granted licenses for raw cotton to Spain in quantity sufficient to load several Spanish vessels. This action provides cotton necessary to fill the normal requirements of the Spanish mills. Under the agreement with Spain that nation permits free export to the allies of certain commodities in return for which the United States permits, so far as consistent with its conservation policies, the export to Spain of necessary supplies of cotton and other commodities to cover genuine Spanish requirements. Congress has authorized $2,034,000,000, of which sum $1,135,000,000 has been appropriated, for the United States shipping board and Emergency Fleet corporation; on March 1, $353,247,955.37 of this sum had been expended. The Emergency Fleet corporation had requisitioned March 1, 425 steel vessels, making a total of 720 steel vessels, of an aggregate dead-weight tonnage of 8,164,508 tons; it had let contracts for 490 wooden vessels, aggregating approximately 1,715,000 dead-weight tons; it had repaired and put in operation 788,000 dead-weight tonnage seized from Germany and Austria. On March 5 the building program of the Emergency-Fleet corporation was being carried on in 151 plants. Among the purchasers of the quartermaster's department are 61,000,000 pounds of prunes and dried beans; 273,000,000 cans of tomatoes, condensed milk, and baked beans; 40,000,000 yards of mosquito bar; 75,000,000 yards of olive drab; 20,000,000 woolen blankets; 50,000,000 pairs of heavy stockings; 11,000,000 wool coats. The ordnance program includes the purchase of 23,000,000 hand grenades, 725,000 automatic pistols, 250,000 revolvers, 23,000,000 projectiles for heavy artillery, 427,246,000 pounds of explosives, 240,000 machine guns, and 2,484,000 rifles. A war emergency course to train selected men for machine-shop occupations, blacksmithing, sheet-metal working, and pipe fitting has been prepared by the federal board for vocational education and will be distributed to the schools throughout the country. It is known as Bulletin No. 8. The board is acting with the war department in preparing these courses of study and in dealing with the state authorities in charge of the school work. Recently there has been considerable discussion through the press and at public meetings in Australia concerning the advisability of producing more beef cattle and sowing less acreage to wheat, according to a report to the department of commerce. Several hundred submarine chasers, built since the war, have been delivered to the navy by 31 private concerns and six navy yards; many of these boats have crossed the Atlantic, some in severe weather. Through a card catalogue system 109,487 men have been transferred out of army divisions into technical units to function according to individual educational, occupational and military qualifications. There are now four times as many vessels in naval service as a year ago. The estimated pay of officers and men in the navy for the first year of war was $125,000,000. The Norwegian government has appropriated $7,000,000 to assist intensive agricultural development. Of this amount, $4,500,000 is to maintain low maximum prices for cattle feed and fertilizer. New Japanese concerns numbering over 100 are reported as having entered business at Shanghai during 1917. The Japanese population is rapidly increasing, now being about 14,000. During 12 months the army hospitals increased from 7 to 63 in number and from 5,000 to 58,400 beds; 30,000 more beds are being added. More than 70,000 acres of land in this country has been planted with castor-bean plants to produce oil for aircraft. American troops permanently took over a part of the firing line as an American sector in January, 1918. The navy now has in its possession a stock of supplies sufficient for average requirements for one year. Our 14-inch guns weigh nearly 95 tons and are over 58 feet long, costing $118,000. Our 35,000-ton cruiser, capable of 35 knots, will be the fastest in the world. Production of 10,000 new automobile trucks is in progress for the army. Chinese peanuts are usually hand sorted by women after being sifted. The United States grows more than 6,000,000 bushels of peanuts a year. The annual pay of the army now exceeds $500,000,000. The navy ration in 1917 cost $0.438, as against $0.37684 in 1916. Western Beef Co.

Denver, Colorado ```markdown ``` VINEGAR ```markdown ``` Denver, Cola FOREIGN The recent British aerial raids on Cologne caused 248 deaths, half of whom were soldiers, according to the latest reports received at Basle. David Lloyd George, the British prime minister, Tuesday made the boldest stroke of his career by coupling home rule for Ireland with the conscription of Irishmen. "As long as we have a ship afloat we will not accept a German peace," declared Premier Lloyd George. "If we win the present battle, the doom of Prussianism is sealed." The corporation of the city of Dublin has adopted a resolution warning the British government against "disastrous results of any attempt to force conscription upon Ireland." Americans may determine the issue of the battle on the west front, Premier Lloyd George declared in the House of Commons, in referring to the dramatic assistance rendered by President Wilson. It is reported in semi-official circles that Japan has proposed to send 200,000 troops to China to co-operate with 200,000 Chinese troops officered by the Japanese, to restore order throughout China and to protect the borders. The official announcement at Paris that no casualties resulted from Sunday's bombardment of Paris by the Germans says the Petit Parisien was not in strict accordance with the facts. It affirms that there were victims—eight chickens. All London was talking about the latest war rumor—the landing in England of an American aeroplane after a nonstop flight from New York with twelve passengers. The authorities declared there was no basis for the story, but this denial served merely to give it additional currency. Official telegrams from Tokio say that the landing of Japanese and British forces at Vladivostok was a purely local affair and has no relation to any Japanese intervention in Siberia. The landing followed the pillaging of Japanese business houses, during which three Japanese were killed. Extracts from German newspapers giving circumstantial narratives of a panic in Paris and riots after the receipt of official statements from the front, reached Paris at the moment when the confidence of the French was never so high, and were greeted with characteristic French railery. At no time since the victory of the Marne have the French people looked forward to the issue of the conflict with greater faith and sincerity. A brilliant asseblage, including French officials and diplomats and Americans at Paris, celebrated the anniversary of America's entry into the war in the magnificent festival hall of the Hotel de Ville. Ambassador Page spoke on the efforts America had made, saying the United States had built a vast military structure on a broad basis. The reading by the ambassador of General Pershing's words to General Foch when the American commander placed the American troops in France at the disposal of the entente allied commander, evoked a great round of applause as did his reference to President Wilson's resolve "to see the struggle through to the end." Intercollegiate athletics will be suspended for the duration of the war at Stanford University, it was announced at Palo Alto, Cal., by the Board of Athletic Control. J. A. Metzger and William Nicholl worked their way into the finals in the handball tournament, class B of the Denver Athletic club. Thorwald Birkedahl already has won in class A. Prize fighting would be taxed out of existence by a bill introduced by Representative Blanton of Texas. Each spectator would be required to pay a tax of $25, and 75 per cent. of receipts, exclusive of the $25 tax, would go to the government. GENERAL Orders have been issued to increase size of ships being built. An airplane convoy from Richfield escorted Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of the President, when she left Waco, Tex., for Austin. National recognition for the first place in the race for third Liberty loan honor flag will have to be divided among probably 100 communities which subscribed their full quota within a few minutes after 9 o'clock Saturday morning, April 6, and reported in such close order that it is impossible to give each an individual rank. A boy in knee pants played a leading role in the lynching of Robert Praeger, alleged pro-German, witnesses at the coroner's inquest testified at Collinsville, Ill. Directed by a leader of the mob, the boy climbed the death tree and put the rope in place for the execution. Other witnesses declared Praeger was first jerked up without his hands and feet being tied. When the mob lowered him to bind him he pleaded for a chance to write his parents a final letter. Mrs. Nat C. Goodwin, the fifth, who was Miss Margaret Moreland before she became the wife of the star of "Why Marry," now at the Astor theater, has begun an action for absolute divorce, it was learned in New York. While the Russian Bolshevist authorities deny it, says a dispatch from Harbin by way of Tokio, to the London Daily Mail, there are 60,000 armed German prisoners mobilized at Tomsk, Siberia, and destined¹ for the far East. About 150,000 drafted men ordered to report for duty this month. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD.

ABOUT THE WAR A Turkish official communication records the capture by the Turks of Van, in Turkish Armenia. Tuesday there was no indication of the near approach of the expected big battle on the Italian front, although the artillery engagements at various points were increasing in intensity. A dispatch to the London Daily Mail from The Hague states that Germany is combing out every available man, even from the munition factories, and drafting them into the fighting ranks. Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshevik premier, in a speech at Moscow, said that possibly Russia would have to declare war on Japan in connection with the landing of Japanese troops at Vladivostok. American outposts in the Lorraine sector attacked a German patrol Tuesday and killed one of the enemy party. The Americans dragged the body across No Man's land into their own trenches for identification. There were no American casualties. Near the Coucy forest and Coucycle-Chateau the French made a slight retirement Tuesday to positions previously prepared—the maneuver apparently being in the nature of line straightening. So well was the operation covered by the French guns that the Germans suffered extremely heavy casualties in endeavoring to make it null. As had been anticipated the Germans Tuesday switched the center of their main operations from the Amiens sector and hammered the British and Portuguese hard over a front of about eleven miles running from Glenchy and La Bassee to the vicinity of Armentieres. The attack was preceded by a terrific bombardment all along the line and the countryside for miles around trembled under the conclusion of the big guns. At some points the enemy was able to penetrate advanced elements of the British line, especially in the neighborhood of Neuve Chapelle, Fauquissart and the Cardonnerie farm. WESTERN Cadet John Insinger of Greely, Colo., was instantly killed at Love field, an American aviation camp at Dallas, Tex., when two machines crashed together about 500 feet in the air. Old Polk, of Indian uprising fame, has gone to the happy hunting grounds. His death on the Indian reservation in San Juan county, Utah, has just been announced, infirmities from old age being the cause. John Franks, a sheriff's deputy, stationed at Christmas and Winkleman, was shot and killed by a Mexican grocery clerk, A. Sanchez, according to reports reaching the sheriff's office at Globe, Ariz., from Christmas. Sanchez is reported to have escaped. WASHINGTON Greece will receive a loan of $44,000,000 from the United States as soon as the Greek Parliament has passed the necessary authorizing legislation. Telephone connections between American and Mexican border towns on the Mexican border are being suspended for the period of the war. A House bill amending the espionage law to make it applicable to enemy alien women as well as men, was passed by the Senate without debate or a roll call. Brig. Gen. C. C. Williams, ordnance officer of the American expeditionary forces, was ordered to Washington to relieve Brig. Gen. Charles B. Wheeler, acting chief of ordnance, who will go to France as ordnance officer with General Pershing. Positive charges that individual members of the German-American alliance supported propaganda to mold the policy of the United States in the event of war with Germany were made by Prof. E. E. Sperry of Syracuse university before the Senate committee considering the bill to revoke the organization's charter. Members, he said, backed the American embargo conference, the American Neutrality league and other organizations which he charged were part of the Pan-German league. Melting into bullion of not more than 250,000,000 silver dollars, now in the treasury, for sale and export to pay trade balances and repurchase of silver at $1 an ounce, is proposed in an administration bill introduced by Senator Pittman as an emergency war measure. Salary increases of $120 annually for virtually all government employees in the civil establishment are proposed in an amendment attached by the Senate appropriations committee to the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bills. SPORT AMERICAN MOTHERS USE SUBSTITUTES TO HELP WIN THE WAR The "Old Aunt Mary" of James Whitcomb Riley lives only in memories, but all over Colorado there are other "Old Aunt Marys," other "Mother o' Mine's" who are helping, by saving, by substituting in their own kitchens to win the war. When America was forced into the war of the world President Wilson realized that there were three elements essential to win a complete and lasting victory—men, money and food. America's youth is furnishing the men and making a well equipped, organized, trained army ready to fight for the safety of its country until the last round of ammunition has been fired and peace has come. America's men, too old to fight but not too old to carry on the work of the world, are furnishing the money—money enough for America and a little extra for the financial needs of the allies—money obtained by income taxes, liberty bonds and war savings certificates. And America's women, under the guidance of United States Food Administrator Herbert D. Hoover, are assuming the burden of food saving. The mothers of the nation have been called to help save meat, wheat, sugar, fats—those vital, compact foods which will ship "over there" and which can be stored until they are needed by the American army overseas and the army of the allies. There is only one way to save these vital foodstuffs for our soldiers, and that is by using substitutes which are plentiful, easily obtained and which furnish to the great army behind the lines, including you and you—all the essential food elements, and which cannot be shipped abroad. All bakeries have been ordered by the Food Administration to use twenty-five per cent of corn flour, corn meal, barley flour, barley meal, oatmeal, rice or other substitutes in all the bread and rolls that they make. The administration has also ordered that every retailer who sells wheat flour must sell an equal amount—in weight—of substitutes for wheat. These substitutes are many. They include corn flour, corn meal, edible corn starch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, rolled oats, oatmeal, rice, rice flour, potato flour, milo, kaffir, soya bean flour, peanut flour, and other similar flours which cannot be purchased in Colorado at the present time. "The women of the nation are already earnestly seeking to do their part in this, our great struggle for the maintenance of our national ideals," wrote President Wilson in a letter to Herbert Hoover, "and in no direction can they so greatly assist as by enlisting in the service of the Food Administration and cheerfully accepting its direction and advice." It is to the women that America naturally looks for help in increasing the surplus of food available for our army and for exports to the allies; to them must come the duty of eliminating waste and observing strict economy in consumption so that our soldiers and the soldiers of the allies may be fed. It is the women who purchase and handle the food of the nation, who must make the food saving campaign successful by the use of substitutes. Mothers of Colorado have not failed their country. They have saved, have complied with the requests of the food administrator in regard to foods, but to some women who have been accustomed to use all kinds of food at all times, the use of substitutes is often very difficult. Because this newspaper has realized this difficulty, arrangements have been made with the Colorado Food Administration, to have Sarah Stone, who knows the whys and wherefores of food saving and the ways and means of substituting, furnish tested substitute recipes, answer any questions which may be troubling housewives. Miss Stone can be communicated with at 504 Interstate Trust Building, Denver. She is anxious to have suggestions and recipes from women who have discovered successful ways of using wheat substitutes so that they can be passed on to other Colorado women who are needing help that they may help America. CORN BREAD Corn bread is especially good made with sour milk and soda; but sweet milk and baking powder are satisfactory. Corn Bread No. 1: Two cups corn meal, 2 cups sweet milk (whole or skim), 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 tablespoons fat, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 egg (may be omitted.) Corn Bread No. 2: Two cups corn meal, 2 cups sour milk, 1 teaspoon soda, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 tablespoons fat, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 egg (may be omitted.) Mix dry ingredients. Add milk, well-beaten egg, and melted fat. Beat well. Bake in shallow pan for about thirty minutes. CORN DODGERS Here is a quick corn bread. Our grandmothers used to bake it on a board before the open fire. You can bake it in your oven. Two cups corn meal, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons fat, $1\%$ cups boiling water. Pour boiling water over the other materials. Beat well. When cool form into thin cakes and bake 30 minutes in a hot oven. This recipe makes 14 biscuits. These crisp little biscuits are good with butter or gravy. INDIAN PUDDING Here is a delicious corn meal and milk dessert: Four cups of milk (skim or whole) 1/4 cup corn meal, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ginger, and 1/4 cup molasses. Cook milk and meal in a double boiler for 20 minutes; add molasses, salt and ginger. Pour into a buttered pudding dish and bake two hours in a slow oven or a fireless cooker. Serve with milk. To Save Sugar and Fruit makes them jell) is precipitated. If the pectin is precipitated as one lump, a cup of sugar may be used for each cup of juice; if in several lumps the proportion of sugar must be reduced to approximate three-fourths the amount of the juice. If pectin is not in lumps, but is merely precipitated, the sugar should be one-half or less of the amount of the juice. If the juice shows no precipitation under this test, it is unsuitable for jelly making and must be combined with apples or other juices rich in pectin. When you have determined the quality of your fruit by the above test, your success will be assured by using sugar manufactured by The Great Western Sugar Co.

You cannot make observation of the new modes without coming to the conclusion that designers have taken this spirit of the times into consideration and that it has brought grist to their mills. They have made combinations of materials and combinations of garments almost unheard of before. These combinations are novel and unusual—and alluring. In tailored suits, for example, we have wool fabrics combined with silk or cotton. Since wool must be conserved and life is not worth living without a tunic skirt, the tailor provides a tunic of crepe georgette over a skirt of serge or other wool fabric. Coats are no longer uncompromisingly plain, but modified just enough to look exactly right with this new order of THE BIRD CAGE A This Summer's Sports Coats. Sport apparel, now having become a settled and accepted institution in the business of outfitting for the seasons, has reached new developments. These are in the directions of new refinements. Fabrics that were not in the running for sports wear a season or two ago, hold the center of the stage today, without displacing the older favorites. In sports coats the spring brought in sleeveless models in silk and in velvet along with new long-sleeved coats in both these materials. Velvet in sports coats is an innovation, but it appears made up in designs that leave no room to doubt the purpose of the garment. Wide girdles, very big patch pockets, large, flat pearl buttons and parallel rows of stitching in white or colored silks or in the color of the coat, stamp its character very certainly upon it. orwise, are worn of sports skirts clating with the vantage, there glace, of khals heavy and lust velvet coats wh cotton skirts a In the picture coat of knitter stripes in fancy cuffs of plain knitted like the a knotted frim patch pockets and fastened d Two of these silk cord man's front and two hold the sash These velvet coats, sleeveless or oth- things in skirts. The result is so fetching that many an unsuspecting tailored skirt of wool is destined to find itself joined for life to a tunic of geogette or some other silk. Paris goes even farther and sponsors a union of serge and organdle in dresses that are too chic to need excuse for being illogical. Among these aspirants for the favor of the economically inclined there appears the two-in-one dress. A fine example of this design is shown in the picture and is made of silk in two garments. It is a suit as pictured, with an unusually graceful coat. When the coat is removed a pretty, simple evening dress is disclosed—hence the "two-in-one" title. There are several lovely new silks in highly lustrous and somewhat heavy weaves, in which a two-in-one dress will play its versatile part and never become tiresome. I erwise, are worn with the several sorts of sports skirts. Quite equal to associating with them, to their mutual advantage, there are skirts of satin glace, of khaki kool and some new heavy and lustrous weaves of silk, but velvet coats will be worn with wool or cotton skirts as well. In the picture a very practical sport coat of knitted silk has lengthwise stripes in fancy stitch and a collar and cuffs of plain knitting. The sash is knitted like the coat and finished with a knotted fringe of the silk. It has patch pockets with tops turned back and fastened down with a large button. Two of these buttons with loops of silk cord manage the fastening at the front and two others in a smaller size hold the sash to the coat at the sides. --- Julia Bottomby Annual Memorial Services OF ELKS Mountain Lodge No. 39 J.

There is a strange superstition relative to the liability of certain trees being struck by lightning. All kinds of ideas have been advanced along these lines. The ancient Romans believed that the mulberry, laurel, peach, larch and box trees were lightning proof. Not a few foresters of modern times are of the opinion that certain trees are more or less liable to destruction by lightning. David, recovering from a long illness, was given an eggnog daily, much to his delight, and much to the envy of his sister, Mary Jane. While David was drinking his, one morning, Mary begged for one too, but mother said, "No," whereupon mother heard David whisper to his sister: "Here, Mary, you drink this one quick, and when it is all gone, I'll cry for another one." Bit Too Clever. A pretty good illustration of the way in which cleverness often overreaches itself is provided by the English sparrows, who conclude in their smart and superior way that the piece of nice, nourishing suet swung to a branch of our cherry tree by a prominent member of the Audubon society is some new kind of trap and won't go within smell of it, with the highly satisfactory result that the less self-sufficient and more trusting cardinals, and downy woodpeckers get all the good of it. Ohio State Journal. PROGRAMME DOXOLOGY Benediction Facts About Prolific Fish. The cod is estimated to yield 4,000,000 eggs each season. As many as eight, nine, and even nine and a half million eggs have been found in the roe of a single cod. An eel was caught in Scotland some years ago which was 32 inches long and weighed about two pounds. The ovary was about 12 inches long as it lay in the fish, but when opened out it was nearly 30 inches in length, and it was calculated that this contained upward of 10,000,000 eggs, rivaling, if not surpassing, the cod in this respect. Heavy Cost of Malaria. Malaria causes an economic loss in the United States estimated to be not less than $100,000,000 a year. The annual number of cases is believed to be in the neighborhood of 1,500,000.— Gas Logic. Problem of Human Nature. It is true, as opponents of changing the clocks to save daylight contend, that the same thing would be accomplished if everybody got up earlier. The trouble is that everybody won't.—Philadelphia Ledger. Used Vast Amount of Wire. It has been estimated that the wire in the cores and sheathing of the world's submarine cables that have been made since they were first used in 1857, would reach from the earth to the moon.
