In dedicating the new Brooklyn Young Men's Christian Association building last week, Governor Whitman of New York, an exponent of the DEMOCRACY which always exhibits its practical side under all circumstances for the betterment of humanity irrespective of color or class, paid a glowing tribute to our Negro soldiers when he declared THAT A NEGRO REGIMENT CARRIED THE FIRST AMERICAN FLAG TO THE FIRING LINE, AND ANOTHER NEGRO REGIMENT TOOK THE FIRST NEW YORK STATE FLAG TO THE AMERICAN FRONT. How glorious! How our hearts beat with pride over another proof of the American pluck, courage and fighting ability of our boys! No wonder the charge to them by this same state executive a few months ago, when he presented them with a flag—the gift of the Union League: "Three times have you taken this flag on this spot, and three times has it returned, shattered and torn, but not dishonored. Take it again, and may your great actions, your realization of your American citizenship and the responsibility on you, guide to the victory that will merit a recognition the world over, and MAY GOD BLESS YOU." PUBLICATION OF NEWS AND COMMENTS BY HOME AND FOREIGN PRESS, APPRECIATED. The editorial comments of the Rocky Mountain News and the Times, the publishing of telegraphic news by the Post, the matter-of-fact expression of the Express—daily papers of this city, besides other papers of the state, also the New York Times and others—these are making us feel that the better element of the country is beginning to realize our worth, and the oneness of purpose that we are engaged in today.

Denver Times in a recent editorial. Continuing, he said, "It is in the history of all our wars that the negroes have made good soldiers. They cannot help to fight the battles of their country without appreciation and gratitude from all honest white men. And all testimony goes to show that they will and do fight bravely and well." "NEGRO TROOPS FIGHT HUNS TO STANDSTILL." "BLACK SOLDIERS DO GREAT EXECUTION IN COUNTER BLOW." These were the headlines forming the attraction of the famous plink edition of the Denver Post last Tuesday evening when in its extra the following was published: With the French Army in France, June 11. (Noon).—"The strongest effort made by the Germans in the course of last night and this morning in their new offensive was in the direction of the railroad connecting Estrass, St. Denis and Montdidier. The Germans met with such resistance that they renounced for the moment their attempts in this region. Negro troops supported by entente allied tanks, which did great execution, delivered a brilliant counter attack in this vicinity and recaptured the forest running southwest of Marquegise, British and French statements place them among the hardest and dare-devil men in the ranks, and expect as great achievements from them as their brethren, who entering the war at an early stage, have done wonderful things and are still doing. SPEEDILY TERMINATE WAR. When we think of the great feats performed by the French Turcos, Singalese and Spahis, the British West Indian and East Indian and African from the beginning of the war up to the present—a period of nearly four years—there is every reason to believe that when the millions of American colored soldiers shall have been given the most difficult task to perform, we will find them (if given the privilege) causing a repetition of history in the ON TO BERLIN movement, as the little Jap in his ON TO PEKING march of a few years ago. Surely Negro troops if given a chance will make quick work of the Kaiser, his Hindenburgs, Hertlings, etc., and the idea is pretty correct when we quote Secretary of War Baker after visiting and inspecting the American expeditionary forces in France, expressed himself specially of the Negro soldiers thus: "I have come back with an increased pride in these units." Col. Charles Young, U. S. A., retired, having every confidence in our men, vouches for the full and complete overthrow of the Hun by the spirit permeating our soldiers—'tis but to do or die;" Major Walker, now deceased, but who during his lifetime filled with patriotic zeal for his country, left such a legacy to the soldiers of his race, that today with grim determination they are in the war to its DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 15 1918 RED CROSS DRAWS NO COLOR LINE AMONG THE SOLDIERS completeness. There is no guess then, when with emphasis the assertion comes, more Negro troops will expedite the finish of the Kaiser. GERMANY AFRAID OF DARK RACES. Expression of fear, which took the phase of annoyance at the initial stage of the war, through their alliance with the British, Japan seized German arsenals and ships in China also possessions in the Pacific, is plainly seen and known from Germany's disapproval of dark races entering the war against her, giving Britain and France a scathing denunciation which she would carry into effect in some form or other if she would be victorious; but she realizes prejudice will not work at this time as THE COLOR RED CROSS DRA LINE AMON Negroes of U. S. A. —Colored Nurses WASHINGTON, D. C., June 12. Many inquiries are coming from the colored people of every section of the country as to what the American Red Cross Society is doing to relieve the needs of the Negro soldiers in the camps and cantonments of this country and what species of aid and comfort is being given to the colored warriors who are battling on the fields of France. The subjoined letter from Mr. Joseph R. Hamlen, of the national headquarters of the American Red Cross Society, in answer to an inquiry sent out from the office of Emmett J. Scott, special assistant of the secretary of war, describes somewhat in detail the character of the work the organization is doing, and declares, among other things of vital importance, that the services of the Red Cross are being "rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, and without distinction." The letter of Mr. Hamlen follows: The American Red Cross: National Headquarters. Washington, D. C., June 5, 1918. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant, War Department, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Scott:—I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of May 29th, in which you ask for information as to what the Red Cross has already done in the war zone or at the cantonments of this country for the Negro soldiers. I am glad to be given this opportunity to tell you of our work in this respect. The Red Cross is rendering the same service to colored men that it is to white troops. No distinction whatever is being made because of the color of the enlisted man. Sweaters and other knitted goods and comforts have been distributed to white and colored alike. We are rendering the same service to the families of white and colored alike. Emergency supplies are furnished at the request of colored officers, and in the hospitals, our men who do communication work, write letters at the request of enlisted men, without distinction because of color. Nearly 10,000 Sweaters to Colored Draftees in Ten Days. I remember a specific instance of LINE IS BECOMING A THING OF THE PAST, and the longer the war lasts the more united the action of all humanity to forever remove from the earth the menace of Prussianism, by a process resulting in annihilation of things Germanic and an extermination of a people whose idea of world power has plunged the world into so terrible a conflict, and who would repeat the action if given another opportunity. We are sure of our soldiers giving a good account of themselves now as in the past, and we must only pray that some will be spared to return to us and be rewarded for their PATRIOTISM AND LOYALTY which has stood and is standing the test of the American and other nations. Bravo! for our Negro troopers. WS NO COLOR IG THE SOLDIERS Elated Over Action Soon to Be Active service rendered to a large number of colored drafted men last fall. They arrived at one of the large Army camps during a period of intensely cold weather. The general in command of the division appealed to us and we were able to furnish him with 2,500 sweaters within a few hours and a total of 10,000 within ten days. Practically all of the first 2,500 of these sweaters went to colored troops, and a great majority of the ten thousand went to them. I hope you will state with as much emphasis as possible that our constant efforts in behalf of the soldiers and sailors on duty in the armed service of the United States, both of this country and in Europe, are rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, without distinction. Very cordially yours, (Signed.) JOSEPH R. HAMLEN, Assistant to the Vice-chairman. The above communication will doubtless be read with the deepest interest by the colored men and women of this country, who have been and are in perfect accord with the aims of the Red Cross Society, but who had not been informed through any reliable source as to what the organization has actually been doing to supply the wants of the 150,000 colored soldiers in the army establishment. Thousands of these gallant men are under fire on the battlefields of France, and many more of our brave and patriotic colored Americans are in camp in our own land, preparing to join their brethren in the deadly conflict "over there." As to the Use of Colored Red Cross Nurses. The situation with regard to the use of colored Red Cross nurses is a matter which also is now receiving the attention of the War Department. The Secretary of War, Mr. Scott advises, will soon announce through the office of the surgeon-general, the decision with reference to the utilization of the many competent women of the race who have so cheerfully registered their willingness to aid in the winning of the war by serving as nurses in the military hospitals at home and abroad. N. A. A. C. P. SENDS STRONG PROTEST ON CABINESS MURDER Governor of Texas Asked to Investigate Ghastly Killing of Negro Family---Mother and Five Sons Shot to Death---Democracy Where Art Thou? THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady, makes public a telegram sent yesterday to Governor W. P. Hobby of Texas, protesting against the lynching of Mrs. Sarah Cabines and her five sons at Huntsville, Texas, and the fatal wounding of her daughter, on June 1, as the result of an altercation between a white man and George Cabiness. Mr. Shillady calls the attention of the governor to the fact that sixteen Negroes have been lynched in the state of Texas alone since America entered the war, and pointedly asks the governor concerning his action in bringing to justice the murderers of the six Negroes. At a time when 157,000 Negroes are offering their lives for the preservation of the ideals of democracy, the association wishes to know if the Negroes of Texas are to be given their share of the democracy for which they are fighting. The telegram follows: Austin, Texas. Press dispatches in New York papers June 1st state that Mrs. Sarah Cabiness, a colored woman, and her five sons were shot to death by a mob at Huntsville, Texas, on June 1st, and her daughter fatally wounded because of altercation between a white man and George Cabiness. In the name of its one hundred twenty-five branches with over thirty thousand members of both races as well as all other justice loving peopde of our country, the National Asociation for the Advancement of Colored People protests in strongest terms against this outrage and urges you to use every power at your command to bring the perpetrators to justice. Two hundred forty-seven Negroes have been victims of mob violence since the United States entered the war. Sixteen of this number have been lynched in the state of Texas alone. At a time when one hundred fifty-seven thousand Negroes are in France or preparing to go, offering their lives for the preservation of our country, it behooves Texas to do everything through its officials to stamp out mob violence. The laws of Texas are adequate to punish all offenders against them. Lynching is a cancerous growth upon the body politic and unless checked will spread as it has done during the orgy of bloodshed in your state and in Georgia during the past two weeks. Is Texas going to uphold her laws in this present crisis? INN SHOP Secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "EDUCATION FOR LIFE." ALREADY 157,000 colored men have been called to the colors; over 1,000 have received commissions; and the entire colored population—an army of twelve million—has pledged itself to win the world war for democracy. These are some of the results of freedom—supplemented by education. These are satisfactory answers to the NO 34 question: "Does it pay to educate colored people?" For the past fifty years Hampton Institute has been offering to selected colored youth an opportunity to prepare themselves for wise community service and effective leadership in school-teaching, agriculture, mechanic arts, and home-making. Today Hampton's army of 10,000 leaders is definitely helping to remake and improve community life in widely scattered districts. "Education for Life"—written by Dr. Francis G. Peabody of Harvard, a devoted trustee of Hampton since 1890, and published by Doubleday, Page and Company—is the story of Hampton's fifty years of marvelous growth in enrollment, equipment, financial resources, and influence for good in education and citizen-making. With Christian frankness and historical accuracy and in his characteristic charming literary style, Dr. Peabody has presented a picture of Hampton's phenomenal development. The twelve chapter headings suggest the content of his 325 pages of interesting biography and appreciation: The Negro in the Civil War; Negro After the Civil War; Coming of Armstrong; Beginnings of Hampton; Years of Promise; Coming of the Indians; Years of Fulfilment; End of an Era; Coming of Frissell; Expansion of Hampton; Hampton and the South; and Hampton and the Future. "Education for Life"—a title suggested by the basic principle on which Hampton has been built—shows clearly what has been accomplished, under the inspiration of Samuel Chapman Armstrong and Hollis Burke Frissell, in bringing together for effective cooperation a large number of thoughtful, spiritually-minded, busy people to work at and through Hampton for the promotion of racial good-will and racial adjustment on the basis of social justice. Hampton's work has been that of laying deep foundations on which two powerful groups in the South could build a stable superstructure of economic prosperity and improved community life. Today a similar work for the Nation must be done. Hampton's educational influence has gone, however, to the ends of the earth. Dr. Peabody, without any attempt to praise Hampton unduly, has made, by his masterful presentation of facts, a strong case for the wisdom of giving Hampton and other educational agencies strong financial and moral support. He has stated so clearly Hampton's educational principles that many thinking men and women must turn to "Education for Life" to receive an answer to the recurring question of the hour: "What ought we to do to make democracy safe for those home folks who fight bravely and cheerfully to make the whole world safe for democracy? FOREIGN German newspapers which have reached London report the entry of Bulgaria and Turkey into the German-Austrian alliance as an accomplished fact. A military convention between America and Great Britain will be ratified soon, Lord Cecil, minister of blockade, announced in the House of Commons in London. A serious revolt has broken out among the Austrian troops concentrated on the east front, according to an undated dispatch from Kieff, received through Moscow. The long distance bombardment of Paris was resumed Tuesday morning. Two persons were killed and nine were wounded in Monday's bombardment according to Paris Eclair. A Belfast steamship torpedoed by a German submarine while bound from England has reached an Irish port badly damaged. Three of the crew were killed by the explosion of the torpedo. A dispatch to the London Times from The Hague quotes a neutral who has arrived there from Germany as stating that an epidemic of black smallpox is raging among the workmen of the Krupp plant at Essen. How the captors of three American soldiers on the sector northwest of Chateau-Thierry unwittingly led them back into the allied lines owing to the tangled conditions of the fighting front there, is told by the correspondent of the London Times with the American army in France. Corporal Sidney W. Rogers and Privates Raymond Howard and Frank P. Ridgway were captured at Hill 204. Two Germans started with them to the rear, but became confused and walked straight into the French lines and themselves were taken prisoner. Commenting on the new German offensive the London Star says: "The third phase of the battles which commenced March 21 may well decide the fate of Germany. It cannot decide the fate of the allies, for whatever may be the issue they will fight on until America and the American armies can turn the scale and deliver the world forever from Prussian hegemony. The Germans are not going to win. There are great armies of the French and the British between them and Paris. We expect those armies, with the rapidly-increasing American army, to beat them flat. We decline to go half way toward defeat of any kind. We believe in victory and nothing but victory. We have beaten the Germans in a hundred battles since Mons. We shall beat them now." Charlie White, lightweight boxer, has become boxing instructor at Fort Sheridan, Ill. He formerly served at Camps Grant and Custer. Arthur Duray, the noted French driver, entered the 100-mile automobile derby to be raced over the Chicago speedway course on June 22. Directors of the Southern Association of Professional Baseball Clubs at Birmingham, Ala., voted unanimously to end the present season on June 28. Lack of interest in the game, increased transportation costs under the new passenger rates and the draft expected to be made on players as the result of Provost Marshal General Crowder's "work or fight" regulations were assigned as reasons for the action. GENERAL The Slavic agitation in Austria-Hungary is causing the authorities great anxiety. Another attempt has been made to assassinate Nicolai Lenine, the Bolshevik premier of Russia. More than 100 Yaquil Indians have been captured by Mexican forces sent to hunt down those responsible for the recent burning of three railroad bridges between Ortiz and Guaymas, Sonora, according to reports to Mexican customs officials at Nogales, Sonora, by returning travelers. It is understood that the entire American force participating in the second battle of the Marne will be decorated by the French government. "We must go into Russia and make an eastern front," declared William H. Taft, former President, in an address at the annual commencement of Delaware College at Newark, Del. The British transport which was reported May 26 to have rammed and sunk a German submarine on the other side, has arrived at an Atlantic port with her stem twisted by the collision. She sent every member of the crew of the U-boat to the bottom of the sea. Capt. J. Mackenzie and sixteen members of the crew of the American steamship Pinar Del Rio, who have been missing since the vessel was sunk by a German submarine off the coast of Maryland on June 8, reached New York on a Norwegian steamship which rescued them from a small lifeboat about seventy miles off the coast of New Jersey. All the members of the crew are thus ac counted for. The chief mate and fifteen men were landed on the North Carolina coast. Sentences of life imprisonment were imposed by a court-martial at San Antonio, Tex., upon forty-five consecientious objectors who had refused to wear army uniforms. The sentence was reduced to twenty-five years each by Brig. Gen. J. P. O'Neill, who reviewed the records. They will be sent immediately to prison. American troops in training at home are being especially schooled now in preparation for the forward movement of the allied armies expected to follow the ultimate crushing of Germany's offensive power.

ABOUT THE WAR Another "peace offensive" by Germany and Austria-Hungary apparently is in the air. On June 10 four German planes and one captive balloon were brought down by French pursuit machines. Von Hindenburg is showing a bloody determination to pay General Foch's ghastly price for the capture of Complegne. British airmen brought down 330 Germans in less than three weeks, up to June 2, of which 283 were totally destroyed. Gen. Semenoff, leader of the anti-Bolshevik forces in Siberia, has driven back the Russian troops which had crossed the Onon river, in Transbalk-allia. Torpedoing of the Harpathian brought the German sinking record on the Atlantic coast to fourteen—six steamers and eight schooners, with a loss of thirty lives. Nine hundred and forty-one casualties have been inflicted by German air raids on allied hospitals in the last three weeks, J. I. Macpherson, under secretary of the admiralty, announced in the House of Commons. Since the new offensive began along the Soissons-Rheims sector May 27, it is asserted by the German official communication that the army group of the German crown prince has taken about 75,000 allied troops captive. Near Bussilares, northwest of Chateau Thierry, the Americans and French on Monday again delivered strong attacks against the Germans and took more ground. They also captured a number of prisoners and thirty machine guns. On the remainder of the front in France and Belgium the operations have been of a minor nature, although south of the Somme the British near Bouzencourt have carried out an operation which straightened out a threatening salient that sagged in their line. The French have struck the Germans a hard blow along a front of about seven and a half miles, between Rubescourt and St. Maure, recapturing Belloy, Genlis wood and the heights between Courcells and Mortemer. The official announcement by the Paris war office of this gain says that the Germans suffered heavy losses and left more than 1,000 prisoners and some guns in the hands of the French. Several violent enemy attacks on Chevincourt were repulsed, but the Germans gained a footing in Machemont and Bethancourt, which places are being bitterly disputed. "American troops brilliantly carried Bellau wood taking 300 prisoners." WESTERN Indications that the freight rates effective June 25 under the McAdoo order are to be modified, so far as they concern Colorado, have been received at the statehouse in a telegram to George T. Bradley, chairman of the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, from Max Thelen, chairman of the war committee of the National Association of Railway and Utility Commissioners. A blasting hot wind for two days with the thermometer at 97 degrees in the shade has given a setback to the wheat crop in northern Montana. Denver's Colorado day celebration will include a massive historical pageant, in which the earliest days of the region now known as Colorado, beginning with the time of the cliff dwellers, the Indians and the Mexicans, will be revived. Early statehood scenes, pioneer activities and, finally, the present-day agricultural and mineral activities will be included in the pageant, which is to be held Aug. 1 at the Auditorium. WASHINGTON A call for 9,000 selective men of Class 1, for limited military service, was issued by Provost Marshal General Crowder. Men of the 1918 class of draft registrants may enlist in the navy and marine corps, according to a new ruling by Provost Marshal General Crowder. The real objective of the whole German offensive program still lies between Amlens and Arras, in the opinion of many army observers in Washington. Emergency reserves of flour totaling 500,000 barrels are piled in more than twenty cities throughout the United States for use in case of bread famine, it was learned at the food administration. These stores, equivalent to 2,250,000 bushels of wheat, have been held by the food administration at great industrial centers since early last winter. A proposal for complete prohibition during the war was presented in the Senate by Senator Jones of Washington, as an amendment to the $11,000,000 emergency appropriation bill.

Eclipse was shut from view by clouds at Denver, but disappointed throngs thrilled by sudden darkness. The Roy ranch, three miles southeast of Evergreen, embracing a full section of land, was sold for $25,000. LLB Ranch No. 1, National Order of Cowboy Rangers, netted a neat sum for the Red Cross at their dance in Denver. Howard Longfellow, 16, was seized with cramps and drowned while bathing in Arapahoe lake, ten miles west of Denver. The deep well being drilled at Aurora and now nearly 4,000 feet deep has at last been abandoned. This well has been drilling for four years and has cost the operators a mint of money. According to a Cripple Creek report, the richest and most important discovery made in years in the western end of the district is reported from the Index mine of the Index Gold Mining Company. Col. Thomas Crawford's new flotation mill near the Ouray smelter, is fast nearing completion. A big tonnage of low grade ore from the Callope mine is already awaiting treatment there. Edwin A. Brown, the author of "Broke; the Man Without a Dime," and student of sociological affairs, invited John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to attend a "hobo luncheon" at Mr. Brown's home in Denver. Sam Levine, a Denver newsboy, is the father of a prodigy, a three-pound baby boy, perfectly formed, living, healthy and happy, as far as can be determined from the smile with which he has greeted the world. Maj. John A. Martin announced his candidacy at Pueblo for the Democratic nomination for United States representative from the Third congressional district. He will oppose Congressman Edward Keating. Between June 21 and June 28 a big campaign will be conducted in Denver to add to the funds for war savings stamps in order that Denver may fulfil its promise to purchase within a year $5,300,000 worth of the securities. Enos Peter Schell was found guilty in Denver on the first of three counts lodged against him for embezzlement. Schell is alleged to have taken about 200 in silver half dollars from the Denver mint, where he had been employed for years. Mrs. G. H. Farrell of, Muskogee Okla., and Cecil Elliott, aged 10 years, of Pueblo were instantly killed at Pueblo when a Santa Fé passenger train struck the automobile in which they were riding. Mr. Farrell was fatally injured, as was also Mrs. Henry G. Elliott. The Farrells are rich oil folk from Oklahoma. All of the parties are negroes. Colorado registered 5,941 Men June 5 who had reached 21 since the first selective draft registration conducted a year ago by the War Department. The figures were given out by Provost Marshal John Evans. Group A, consisting of registrants who are white men and born in this country, had a total of 5,446; group B, colored men, sixty-five, and group C, aliens, 430. John Neikle, a rancher living near Lafayette, shot and killed himself with a .38-caller revolver near the outskirts of Marshall. Some excellent photographs were taken at Simla of the solar eclipse. While faint clouds were in the sky at the moment of totality, the corona was visible, stars were noted and the observations were declared to be generally successful by the scientists gathered to observe the event. The leaser is "on the job" at Cripple Creek, causing needed ore strikes where work on company account was curtailed by shortage of labor. The latter impediment is felt more keenly after each fresh draft leaves the camp, as the influx of miners from other camps is not as yet large. As a result of the refusal of the governor of Nevada to honor requisition papers from Colorado for the arrest of Mrs. Miriam M. Pickrell, whose kidnapping of her son, Gordon Craig, caused a sensation in Denver, the boy returned to Denver accompanied only by his father, Roy H. Craig, and Deputy Sheriff J. W. Robinson. Blair Burwell, 70, twice representative in the State Legislature from La Plata county, and a Confederate veteran of the Civil War, died at his home in Denver.

Mrs. Louise F. Mellen assistant superintendent in the Denver office of the State Free Employment Bureau, has sent her resignation to Secretary of State James R. Noland, effective June 25. She has been in the employ of the state for three years. Her resignation follows close on the announcement of her engagement to Maj. R. M. Bren, United States army medical corps, stationed at Manila, P. I. He formerly lived in Denver. Union bricklayers and the contractors for the army recuperation camp entered the second week with their controversy over wages at a deadlock. Meantime, while the bricks are on the ground and everything is in readiness to rush to completion the construction of the hospital and camp for the wounded and sick soldiers now coming from the battlefronts of France, the building work is at a standstill. Dooryard apiaries—a beehive or two set under the poplar trees, or beside the hollyhocks—owned and cared for by women, are sights growing daily more frequent in the suburbs of Denver. Beekeeping on a small scale is becoming an important war service. It means the production of a substitute for sugar than which few more useful things can be done in the present dire need for food conservation. Colorado has united to win the war. Under the name of the Colorado Development Federation a union has been begun that is to link the vast interests of every city and county in the state into an institution under one head that will offer to the nation every ounce of resources to the end that the war may be pushed forward. Democrats representing the state organization launched the party campaign for the coming election at a banquet in Denver, given by Chairman Raymond Miller to members of the Democratic state central committee and members of the Colorado Democratic Editorial Association. About 150 men and women were present. The Tonopah Placers Company is keeping its three gold dredging boats steadily at work on the rich bedrock deposits of the stream beds of the Breckenridge district with good results. Several gold bricks worth in the neighborhood of $7,000 to $8,000 each were shipped during May to the United States mint at Denver. The molybdenite deposits in the Ten Mile district will be very actively developed this year and a number of promising "prospects" will probably be developed into producing mines. The heavy snow—three to four feet deep in the timber—will delay new prospecting until the middle of July. John Holmquist, who has been leasing on the lower levels of the old Wedge mine, Bachelor district, shipped a twenty-seven-ton car recently of silver-lead ore that brought him returns of more than $11,000. The silver content of the shipment ran 440 ounces silver to the ton. When James Bright, an old-time San Juan prospector, relocated the Jumbo No. 2 claim, which endlines on the main street of the town of Ironon, he did not realize that the ten-inch streak of quartz that showed on the hanging wall carried nearly 2 per cent oxide of molybdenum. W. N. W. Blayney of Denver was among the state federal directors of the public service reserve announced by the Department of Labor at Washington. Mrs. Vera Tiedemann Rose, who was arrested by the police immediately following the shooting of Ray Chamberlain at 1438 Stout street, in Denver confessed to Chief of Police Armstrong that she had held the gun when Chamberlain was shot. Her only comment on the shooting was "He beat me once too often." Close to Silver Cliff the Bassick mine has been taken over by the Bassick Mining and Reduction Company under a long term lease, a company organized for the purpose by Harry S. Thayer of Boulder. A 100-ton flotation mill will be built to treat ore from both the mine and dumps. The Woman's Relief Corps, in its session at Colorado Springs, after holding a memorial service for deceased members, held the election. Mrs. Anna S. Mills of Arvada, formerly patriotic instructor of the department, was chosen as the new president. Governor Gunter has issued a proclamation designating Friday, June 28, as Colorado War Savings Day, and urging all to do their part by contributing of their means to help win the war. Indications are that the production of all cereal crops in Colorado for 1918 will exceed the record for 1917. In a crop report for June issued by the bureau of crop estimates, it is forecast that the production of both spring and winter wheat will be 3,000,000 bushels greater than last year, and barley, rye and oats will show considerable increases. The Wellington Mines Company paid a 10 per cent dividend during May, equaling $100,000, also an excess profit tax to the government of $143,545.55. The tax in 1917 amounted to $25,000.

It relied upon this source of revenue just as definitely as it relied upon revenue from the sale of Liberty Bonds. But five of the twelve months of this year have now passed and the nation’s people have bought but $220,000,000 of these Stamps. Less than one-eighth of the total they were relied upon to buy—and the year nearly half over! This is a serious situation. Just as serious as tho we were failing to take one of the Liberty Bond issues. So the United States Government has taken up the matter and decided that there is a necessity for having the War Savings movement given the same definite impetus as the Liberty Bond issues. Accordingly, the President has issued a Proclamation calling upon all the people—every loyal citizen in every community, man, woman or child—to make Friday, June 28, a formal pledge day to be known as National War Savings Day. On this day in the rural communities and in all the smaller towns the people are to GO TO THEIR SCHOOL HOUSES OR OTHER PUBLIC ASSEMBLING PLACES AND SIGN CARDS PLEDGING THEMSELVES TO PUR- CHASE DEFINITE TOTALS OF THE: $5 WAR SAVINGS STAMPS (NOT THE THRIFT STAMPS, BUT THE $5 WAR SAVINGS STAMPS) BY DECEMBER 31, 1918. In cities the size of Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Den- ver it will not be practicable to handle the registration in a single day at definite places, and so armies are being or- ganized in each of these larger cities to go over both resi- dence and business sections and collect the pledge cards. In Denver there will be two armies. A Men’s Army, di- rected by Mr. J. F. Welborn, and divided into six divisions of thirty men each, under these six generals: Mr. C. C. Parks, Mr. W. J. Barker, Mrs. W. P. McPhee, Mr, Frank Shepherd, Mr. Horace N. Hawkins and Mr. B. B. Greer. And a Woman’s Army under the command of Mrs. Ella M. Weckbaugh and consisting of fourteen divisions, each in command of a general having her a captain in every precinct of her district, the working teams under the captains to consist of as many lieutenants as there are blocks in each captain’s precinct. The Men’s Army is to collect cards from business es- tablishments; the Women’s Army from the homes. And, as it would be impossible to accomplish this work in a single day, it is being organized TO OCCUPY THE WEEK IM- MEDIATELY PRECEDING THE FORMAL PLEDGE DAY IN ORDER THAT AT THE CLOSE OF THAT DAY THE CITY MAP BE JUST AS COMPLETELY PLEDGED AS pes OF THE LITTLE TOWNS OR FARMING COMMUNI- It is just as important a matter as any Liberty Loan or other feature of the great war responsibility, and Denver can no more think of neglecting this than she could think of neglecting a loan. TWEEN NOW AND THE LAST OF NEXT DECEMBER THE PEOPLE OF OUR CITY ARE MORALLY BOUND TO BUY $4,000,000 OF STAMPS, AS COMPARED WITH LESS THAN $1,500,000 BOUGHT DURING THESE FIRST FIVE MONTHS. The quota for the state as a whole is $20,000,000 for the year 1918, and up to the end of May the total accually purchased was only about $3,200,000—less than one-fifth the year’s total, and five of the twelve months already gone! If War Savings were an after-thought of the Govern- ment in its financing, the sudden announcing of this spe- cial pledge period migat come to us as perhaps something of a surprise, and we might reasonably marvel at its coming so close upon the heels of the Third Loan and the Red Cross Campaign. But it ISN’T an after-thought. It was part of the orig- inal plan, as published repeatedly in the newspapers, and is a pillar without which the nation’s financial structure is disastrously incomplete. The true situation is simply that we have supposed we were buying enough stamps to accomplish the total for the year, but we weren’t. W = NOW HAVE TO INVEST IN THESE SECURITIES JUST ABOUT EIGHT TIMES AS STRONGLY AS WE HAVE BEEN DOING HERETOFORE. If Denver has a quota of $5,300,000 for the year, and has 50,000 homes, it means that these homes must average well over $100 each, for the year, in War Savings. And, as there are some homes we well know cannot possibly do this, the rest of us must do Tar more to assure the city’s total. It is an absolutely vital matter. The Government has relied fully upon $2,000,000,000 from this source this year, and must have it. But no less important than the money is the new na- tional habit now so necessary and which this War Savings necessity will foster. The habit of sacrifice for victory! We are now at that period of the war when we must concentrate our entire thought and effort upon the winning of it. Germany is showing us vividly that she is still powerful, ingenious, and ready to go to any lengths to succeed. We can conquer her only by the most supreme effort —an effort that includes nation-wide co-operation, nation- wide sacrifice and nation-wide self-denial. FROM NOW UNTIL PEACE IS ACTUALLY AC- COMPLISHED, EVERY LOYAL AMERICAN OF EVERY AGE AND EVERY CALLING, MUST WORK AND SAVE, WORK AND SAVE! DAY IN AND DAY OUT—WORK AND SAVE! MUST CONSIDER THE COUNTRY’S NEEDS AND MUST LEND TO THE COUNTRY AT WHATEVER SACRIFICE AND SELF-DENIAL MAY BE NECESSARY!

WATERMAN for U. S. senator for Republicans, and married through primary and general elections, assuring and giving us the man who will be of substantial support IN TIME OF NEED. AT A TIME when men strong in mind, with that depth of knowledge, with that experience to deal with questions far above the average layman, are needed, the Republican-party cannot afford to be represented by any other than the professional, who, profound in his study of law-making, will be of such valuable assistance to the nation in meeting the issues of paramount importance that must of necessity arise at the close of the war; and therefore the most careful selection of a candidate for United States senator devolves upon us, as the peace tribunal will have as its accompaniment, matters that can only be grasped by legal luminaries and specialists in international jurisprudence, so that in the discussions and decisions that will follow we must have men that can meet our nation's need for constructive actions satisfactory to the world, and at the same time establishing precedents that will guide our country successfully in the years and generations to come. Sympathy, wealth, generosity, war contributions and practical philanthropic work serve their purposes in times normal or abnormal, but let the citizens who have known and declared again and again that the sacrifices they have made, the weight they have borne by sending men to represent them in the law-making body of the nation, who with all the foregoing qualities and help afforded a nation and who meant well, could only be experimentalists; let such citizens once more come out and in the honesty of their convictions emphasize the unwise policy of taking a chance at a time when soundness, thoroughness and everything necessary to guide us from the danger spots will be required, and therefore we must rise to the occasion, nominate and elect men who will be a credit to Colorado, a help to the nation and an invaluable asset to the progressive action of the Republicanism that will again balance the world and set her again on her axis of PEACE. For this great cause we think the presentation of the name of CHARLES W. WATERMAN for U. S. senator for Republicans, and is one worthy of the Republican party, and our personal knowledge of this man, a member of this state, a resident of this city for many years, whose interests are so interwoven with Colorado that he cannot help being in common with its people; an attorney-at-law, whose erudition has set a standard for many to be guided by, this man, we say, is the logical candidate for the party, and we can ill afford to lose the services of one whose ability and standing in this community and state amount to a guarantee of the good services he can and will give if sent to Washington next March. His manifesto of a few months ago outlines his policy and purpose in going to serve us, and being unselfish in its nature, we will stake on a man whose ideals of democracy cover all phases of the situation, with a panacea for healing the soreness that will blot out of our new national life all the prejudices pertaining to CLASS, CREED AND COLOR. CHARLES W. WATERMAN for U. S. senator for us Republicans, and this choice must be carried through primary and general elections, assuring victory to our party and giving us the man who will be of substantial support to OUR NATION IN TIME OF NEED. THE PULPIT AND THE PEW. articles as "The Church and Its Chance," by the Rev. Reeve, come under our observation, we think for the permissible the religious and irreligious sides of our community be reproduced verbatim et literatim, so that other "men called by the spirit" as they declare them in the order of their leader CHRIST and rule with the instead of a Prussian or German MIGHT, which mean the words of the writer: "This war will give the Church Will it make good?" is very momentous, and because WHEN such articles as "The Church and Its Chance," by the Rev. Charles Stelzle, come under our observation, we think for the permanent good of both the religious and irreligious sides of our community, the same should be reproduced verbatim et literatim, so that other "wearers of the cloth"—"men called by the spirit" as they declare themselves—should move in the order of their leader CHRIST and rule with the MIGHT OF LOVE instead of a Prussian or German MIGHT, which means DESTRUCTION. The words of the writer: "This war will give the Church its greatest chance. Will it make good?" is very momentous, and because of its gravity we cannot help from saying a few words on some of the things that have been brought to our notice by church-goers and Christian religionists. First, some ask whether this Kingdom of Love will have different phases as the variety of denominations, the demarkation drawn racially, the superiority and inferiority of saved ones or Christian followers, as existing among us now, and whether there will be another chance for the TEMPORAL side entering into keen competition with the SPIRITUAL. From our religious training we would answer that this borders on sacrilege, and would start with utter denouncement of the questioners, but on viewing the Church of Christ in the form some of its leaders have been presenting for some time past and up to the present, we are tempted to ask the Rev. Stelzle's question: "Will it make good?" not "Can it make good?" for the days of the missionary fathers who were real and in earnest with a zeal and devotion unparalleled, for their work of love, gave records of the inestimable and priceless worth of the Church, the same having been handed down to us. But alas! alas! sons of earth are beginning to doubt, not the religion, not its GREAT HEAD—the man Jesus Who walked and talked with men, but the ambassadors, some of whom are steadily lowering the BANNER OF THE CROSS by the POWER OF THEIR MIGHT, which they refuse to exchange for the POWER OF HIS LOVE. Arrogance, avarice, self-aggrandisement, lordliness, are among the qualities that some of the representatives of our religion possess, and in their dictatorial manner if the pew does not readily accept, they consign them immediately to the blackness of darkness forever. Just as we hear on every hand—now is the Negro's opportunity, now is his chance; but what with leadership that divides and compromises; leadership that sits astride the fence; leadership that must hold sway because its baneful influence can dull the very minds of our people, and like helpless children they follow blindly. The same is evidenced by some of our Church leaders, and as the Holy Writ publishes, "Hankering after the flesh-pots of Egypt, following the Master, not for the WORD, but for the loaves and fishes"; well may we examine the pulpit now instead of waiting for a later period, and be they of the so-called chosen few or those that got it by endowment or otherwise, let the test be applied. The intelligence of the pew has stretched itself to its maximum, and with the striking realization of CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH, the real, not the unreal; the personal and visible, not the mysterious, invisible, far-removed leader, the pew, the laity, in their resolution to win out with Christianity, as is the determination of the major portion of the world to win out against the universal mepace—GERMANY—will continue in its modest, calm, but firm, deliberative and decisive way to correct such leaders who are building on the sand instead of the rock. Remember Jerusalem's warning—and she had the ablest, the most cultured and all that she thought was best in expounding and propagating her doctrine—but not a stone was left one upon the other, and she met her fate not stoically, as she boasted, but with more than the meekness of a little child. History, it is said, often repeats itself. We hope the Rev. Stelzle's question will be answered in the affirmative so that we can have a victory in our religious circles as great and possibly greater than our victory over our present enemy at war with us. And then will come the Kingdom of Love to which all men will worship with reverence and obedience at its shrine. TOO MANY SOUGHT TO EVADE SERVICE TOO MANY SOUGHT TO EVADE SERVICE APPEALS FROM THE LOCAL AND DISTRICT DRAFT BOARDS NUMBERED 25,000. WEEDING OUT THE SLACKERS Good Work in Washington by the Provost Marshal General's Office Hope for Improvement in Delivery of Mali to Soldiers Abroad. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington.—Twenty-five thousand appeals were made by men who sought exemption from the draft and had been refused by the local and district boards. Out of approximately 2,000,000 men in class 1, this may not seem so large a number. At the same time the desire of 25,000 young men to escape military service was rather discouraging to the war officials, particularly since upon examination many of the claims for exemption appeared to be frivolous or equivocal. Army officers administering the law and dealing with applications for exemption, especially when they were backed by senators and representatives in congress, found considerable difficulty in adjusting the various situations in view of the fact that here in Washington many thousands of clerks claimed exemption as employees of the government, while a large number of other young men within the draft age were seeking and securing commissions in the various noncombatant staff corps and were very numerous in their uniforms on the streets of Washington and in the departments. There has been a decided change on this score within the last few weeks. The provost marshal general's office has been reaching into the departments and lifting out the clerks who were within the draft age and liable to service. Every department has been called upon to furnish the number and names of all men within the draft age. Another reform has been started by the secretary of war, which is the weeding out of staff officers in Washington who have been filling clerical positions. Of course this cannot be accomplished in its entirety, but it has been remarked during the past few weeks that many officers in uniform, with suitcases in their hands, have been seen wending their way to the Union station on the route to "somewhere" with the possibility of doing real military duty. Many people in the United States hope that a recent announcement from the post office department will result in better mail service between the United States and the soldiers in France. During the several weeks in which complaints have been aired officially as well as unofficially about the inadequate mail service, there has been a contention on the part of the post office department that the delays were due largely to the manner in which the war department was handling the mail. Even in his latest statement the postmaster general said the military authorities in France would not disclose to the postal officials the location or movement of troops in Europe, and consequently there has been a great deal of delay. By the new arrangement, however, it is expected the war department will take charge of the distribution of mail sent abroad and in that way letters and other matter to the soldiers will be very much expedited. Political expediency and personal comfort figured largely in the pros and cons as to whether an additional revenue measure should be considered before the present session of congress adjourns. As to the politics of it, the Democratic leaders argued that to pass a revenue bill now would mean defeat of the Democratic party in the congressional elections, for the reason that everybody would be agitated over the proposed new taxes. There were a very few—and very sagacious politicians, too—who asserted it would be better to have the revenue bill out of the way and understood, rather than to have the unknown hanging over the whole people. President Wilson has never been much impressed with the political effect of legislation which he considers necessary. Four years ago the condition of the revenues made it necessary to pass another revenue bill. It was the first bill to be called a warrevenue measure, and was given that name because the war in Europe was alleged to have been the main cause of the falling off of treasury receipts, Politicians in congress argued against passing any such bill before the elections, but President Wilson insisted that it was necessary and therefore the people would not be dissatisfied; and it may also be recalled that the Democrats won the elections in 1914. The personal reasons for avoiding revenue legislation are greater than the political reasons. Members of congress do not want to stay in Washington any longer than they are obliged to. Their salaries and the salaries of their employees go along just the same whether congress is in session or not, and it is natural that they should prefer to be at home, mingling with their people, especially those members who are seeking re-election, rather than to stay in Washington, which is a mighty warm place during the months of June, July, August and September. . ? On more than one occasion Senator Borah has taken exception to allusions to "leaders of the Republican party in the senate." In doing so the Idaho senator disclaims any title or right to be considered a "leader," but he objects to any body of self-constituted "leaders" speaking for the Republicans of the senate. The last occasion when he adverted to this subject was at the time of the appointment of Charles E. Hugnes as an investigator of the aircraft imbrogilo. Now, it is a fact that some Republicans felt the selection of Mr. Hughes was a shrewd move on the part of President Wilson that would tend to shut off any possible partisan criticism that could be made in regard to aircraft production, especially if the findings should be that there had been no misuse of money or criminal action. Some newspapers published stories to that effect and attributed the comments to Republican "leaders." COLORADO STATESMAN Senator Borah repudiated the idea that there was any Republican object to the selection of Mr. Hughes. A little later Senator Smoot remarked that Mr. Hughes' selection "was as remarkable as it was admirable." The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West The largest, finest and best furnished room in the war department is now called the "turn-down room." Here gather daily all of the people who want to see Secretary Baker and who have not been accorded interviews in his private office. Those who are given interviews in his private office are likely to have something to say which the secretary wants to know about or may have a proposition which the secretary may accept. But in this outside office it is different. The people who assemble there belong to the "forlorn hope" crowd. Dozens every day are there and proffer their requests and are turned down. The secretary of war enters the room with a negative countenance. He has the ever-ready "I am sorry, but I cannot do it." at his tongue's end, and that is usually what the visitors in the "turn-down room" hear. Of course, it is always accompanied by an explanation as to rules, regulations or laws which stand in the way of granting the request. RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. That which was once a sacred tradition and an unwritten law in the United States senate is now only a memory. The tradition was that a new senator should not take part in the debates until he had sat at the feet of the seniors for at least one session. The tradition was shattered when 12 new senators entered the senate 25 years ago, and it has been put upon the scrap heap by the progressive movement which has introduced into the senate many men with a message and ideas on all subjects of public interest. And so the tradition is but a memory. Old habitues of the senate realized this fact when, within two or three weeks after taking the oath of office, Senator Leenroot of Wisconsin took an active part in the discussion of the rivers and herbors bill, and even before that he had shown a determination to do his duty by objecting to various pet measures of senators, which have usually passed without opposition on account of senatorial courtesy but which have a somewhat dubious reputation in the halls of legislation. What is an interesting fact, in connection with Leenroot's activity, is that he was listened to by other senators and attention given to what he had to say. It is a characteristic of nearly every speaker of the house of representatives that he desires to be absolutely right in his rulings, although he naturally desires to be on the side of his own party. But perhaps none of the predecessors of Speaker Clark was quite so anxious to be impartial and just as he is. Recently some point was being argued in the house which the speaker had decided, and as the debate went along Congressman Walsh of Massachusetts asked if the speaker had not ruled on this question. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. "Yes," replied Champ: "but the chair is not so everlastingly stuck on his own ruling that he will not listen to somebody else." Here is another sacrifice that the people of America have got to make, coming in the way of a statement from the forest service and referring to President Wilson's appeal to the Boy Scouts of America to help win the war by locating black walnut trees. The statement goes on to say that black walnut lumber is needed for manufacturing airplane propellers and gunstocks, and then mentions the scarcity of black walnut in this country. Thirty to fifty years ago there was a great deal of black walnut in the country, but it was cut down and used for firewood and for the manufacture of furniture. A considerable amount of old black walnut furniture is still in existence. But the sacrifice which now is to be made is the loss of the fruit of the black walnut trees. There is no better, richer or more delicious nut meat than that which comes from the black walnut tree. Like all other good things, it is hard to get, but it is very fine when obtained. But as these trees are necessary for war purposes, they will have to go, along with many of the other luxuries which the people of the United States have enjoyed.

You can make a big success from a small beginning, but it's mighty difficult to accomplish anything worth while in this big world if you start out with the big head.—Detroit Free Press. The Housewife and the War (Special Information Service, United States Department of Agriculture.) MAKE THE MOST OF VEGETABLES A Back-Yard Garden Capable of Furnishing Practically the Entire Table Fare for a Family. MAKING MOST OF ALL VEGETABLES Families With Back-Yard Gardens Will Need to Do Little Buying in the Markets. PRACTICAL HINTS ARE GIVEN One of the Safest Rules for Keeping Well Is to Eat Variety of Food—Starch and Sugar Valuable as Fuel Foods. All over the country war gardens have been planted to raise food to "help halt the Hun." This summer millions of cans of vegetables will be put up by canners and housewives for winter use, but everyone should have a chance to eat the fresh vegetables while they are at their best. If you have more than you can use now, sell them to your less fortunate neighbor who has no garden. What can't be used fresh, can for winter. One of the safest rules for keeping well is to eat a variety of food. Vegetables are a great help in giving variety to your meals. Eat vegetables every day; many are mild laxatives and they are better than medicine. Use many kinds and lots of them. Let them take the place of part of the meat and bread you are using today. Don't think that because vegetables contain so much water they are not good food. They are one of the most valuable kinds of food we have. Vegetables have their own particular part in the diet which neither meats nor cereals nor fruits nor sweets can play. Part That Vegetables Play They are appetizers. Their delicious flavors stimulate digestion. They furnish fuel and protein. Vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, green lima beans, green corn, white potatoes, green peas, onions, beets, carrots and squash contain enough starch and sugar to make them valuable as fuel foods. Some of these are protein foods, too. They help prevent constipation. The woody part of vegetables is valuable to give bulk to the food. For very small children it should be removed by rubbing the cooked vegetable through a sieve, but a grown person of sound digestion needs some of this woody portion. Don't cut out all the hard part from asparagus and such foods. The mild acid in such vegetables as tomatoes has some laxative effect. Minerals Are Needed. They furnish mineral matter. This is one of the most important parts that vegetables play in the diet. Without small amounts of mineral salts no part of the body can be built; they are needed in nerves, brain, bone, blood and muscles. Even after growth these minerals must be furnished to replace the parts of the body used up by exercise. They have an important part in keeping the different parts of the body working smoothly. Eat a variety of vegetables to furnish these much-needed minerals. They furnish other important food constituents about which we know but little as yet. We do know, however, that these substances play an important part in promoting growth in the young and bodily well-being for everyone through life. Eat the green leaf vegetables, lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, Swiss chard, collards, Brussels sprouts, celery and onions. They are especially rich in these growth-promoting food constituents. Don't throw away your beet tops, onion tops, turnip tops and radish tops. Serve them for greens. Live in the garden, if you like, but by all means live out of the garden. Every time you take a meal out of your own garden, you save the equivalent in other foods to be used in winning the war. That is one side of it. Every time you take a meal out of your own garden you save money—good, hard money that can be used for any one of a score of things that would make the family more comfortable—or for investment in Liberty bonds, Thrift stamps and safety. That's the other side. And the bed-rock bottom of it is that you have a better, more wholesome summer meal than if you had gone to market and bought a lot of meat and stuff.

The States Relations service of the United States department of agriculture has recently issued "A Guide in Baking." The whole thing is printed on a card, ten by five and a half inches, suitable to hang on the kitchen wall. On it are the measurements of flour. The weights and measures were tested in the office of Home Economies. The table, adhered to, will enable the housewife to make good griddle cakes, muffins, cakes, cookies, drop biscuits and nut or raisin bread without using any wheat flour. Whatever recipes she has used successfully with wheat flour, she may continue to use successfully with substitutes for wheat flour. For instance, the table shows that, if one cup of wheat flour was used in a certain recipe and it is desired to substitute barley flour, one and three-eighths cups will be necessary, while all the other ingredients remain as in the old recipe. A number of good combinations are worked out. By mixing two of the substitutes as indicated, the housewife will get better results than if she used one substitute. At the bottom of the card are half a dozen "cautions," aids in baking with substitute flours that have been carefully worked out by experts. A copy of the card may be had from the States Relations service, Department of agriculture, Washington, D. C. Planning the Kitchen. In planning a new home or remodeling an old one it should always be borne in mind that the placing of the stove, sink and work table in such a way as to secure the advantages of a compact workshop will save the housekeeper many steps in the tasks of the kitchen. Time and energy will also be saved if the shelves, cupboards and drawers are located near the place where the supplies or equipment which they are to contain are to be used, and they will be even more convenient if they are so planned that their contents may be easily and quickly removed or replaced. In selecting the equipment only that which is most convenient and durable should be purchased. As in any well-regulated workshop, all the equipment necessary for the convenience of the worker should be supplied, but that equipment should be installed first of all which will be used most often. FRENCH DRIVE HUNS OVER MATZ TEUTONS LOSE 20,000 IN DAY'S FIGHTING TRYING TO GET PAST COTTERETS. U. S. WINS AT THIERRY BATTER BACK ENEMIES AND CAP TURE 400 PRISONERS IN BEL LEAU WOOD BATTLE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, June 14.—Five divisions (60,000 men) were employed by the Germans Wednesday in their assaults between the Aisne river and the Villers-Cotterets forest, and 20,000 of them were lost, said an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Paris. German forces which succeeded in crossing the Matz river to the west of the Oise, on the battle front south of Noyon, held their positions there for but a brief period. French troops, counter-attacking the enemy, have hurled him back to the north bank of the river and checked his advance toward Comiegne. The news from the scene of the tremendous struggle, as told in official statements, shows that on the fields west of the Oise the Germans have come to a halt for the present at least. East of the Oise the French have withdrawn their lines south of the Ourscamp and Carlepont forests, but are protecting the Laigue forest along a line which is very strong. This change in the line was expected since the Germans occupied Ribe-court, on the west bank of the Oise. Only one attempt apparently was made by the enemy Thursday to better his positions near Montdidier. Here he launched a violent counter attack from Courcelles t the north of Mery—a front of about a mile and a half—but was badly cut up by the fire of the allied guns and forced to retreat, leaving numerous dead and wounded on the field. In the Flanders salient the British and French have been active. The former have improved their positions near Meiris, on the western angle of the battle line there, while the French have extended their lines near Ypres. The Germans again have endeavored to force the Americans from positions captured northwest of Chateau Thierry, but again met with defeat and the loss of numerous men. With the Americans on the Marne, June 14.—The Americans holding the three-mile front between Bouresches and Torcy repulsed two German attacks in their twelfth day and night of fighting. They took fifty prisoners, and captured a number of machine guns. The enemy suffered heavy casualties. Among the prisoners are six officers, a major, a captain and four lieutenants. All were poorly clad and some had a piece of bread tied to their uniforms with strings. The prisoners said they were glad to be captured and expressed a desire to go to the United States after the war to live. All of Germany's plan, they added, called for ending the war next fall. American officers and men to the number of 108, fighting on the Toul sector, have been awarded the French war cross for bravery and fidelity. Killed in Row Over House. Laramie, Wyo.—Andrew George, a laborer at the railroad shops here, was killed by Harvey Venters, who surrendered to the police. POINCAIRE PRAISES AMERICANS. President of France Says Allies are Sure to Win. Paris, June 14.—On the anniversary of the arrival of American troops in France President Poincare dispatched a message to President Wilson expressing his admiration at the "magnificent American effort" and extending his congratulations. "The troops of the allies are living in the most difficult hours of the war," the message said. "The rapid formation of new American units is sure to restore the balance. Then the allies will take decisive revenge and found the peace principles you have laid down, making certain the reign of right and liberty among nations." Poincare also wired General Pershing, congratulating him upon the admirable fighting qualities displayed by the American troops and wishing him continued success. Eleven Killed in Callais Raid. London.—Eleven persons were killed, including four children, in a German air raid over the French city of Calais. Holden Heads Central Rail Division, Washington.—Territory west of the Mississippi river was divided by Director General McAdoo into three railroad operating regions with R. H. Alshton, director of the Northern Portion headquarters at Chicago; Hale Holden, president of the Burlington, director of the Central Division headquarters at Chicago, and B. F. Bush, receiver for the Missouri Pacific, director of the Southwestern division, headquarters at St. Louis. Later a district manager will be named for the Pacific coast. WIN BY OFFENSIVE Such Must Be Plan of Victorious Army, Says Foch. Allied Generalissimo Declares Well Organized Reserves, Delivering Bludgeon Blow at Proper Time and Place Will Destroy the Enemy. London.—Victory can be won in the end only by the army that takes the offensive, and success in this depends on husbanding and instructing the reserves. So declares General Foch in the weekly journal, the Field. "Modern warfare, to arrive at its end and to impose its will on the enemy," General Foch says, "recognizes only one means—destruction of the enemy's organized forces. "War undertakes and prepares this destruction by battle, which brings about the overthrow of the adversary, disorganizes his command, destroys his discipline, and nullifies his units as far as their fighting power is concerned. No Victory in Defense. "Our first axiom must be that to achieve its object a battle must not be purely defensive. A purely defensive battle, even well conducted, does not result in a victor and a vanquished. It is simply a game that must be begun over again. "From this it is an obvious corollary that an offensive, whether started at the beginning of an action or whether it follows the defensive, can only give results, and, in consequence, must always be adopted at the finish. "To maintain our position is not synonymous with being victorious and even prepares for a defeat. If we remain where we are and do not pass to the offensive to fix the direction of attack, to guard against the plans of the enemy, and prevent him from carrying out the same maneuver, we must undertake to carry on and sustain numerous combats, each with determined aim. All Depends on Reserve. "But since there remains no doubt that decisive attack is the very keystone of a battle, all other actions which make up a battle must be envisaged, considered, organized, provided with forces in the measure in which they will prepare, facilitate, and guarantee development of a decisive attack characterized by its mass, its surprise, its speed, and for which, in consequence, it is essential that there shall be the maximum reserve force possible of troops of maneuver. "The reserve—that is to say, the prepared bludgeon—is organized and kept carefully instructed to execute the single act of battle from which results are expected—namely, the decisive attack." Surprise. Mass and Speed. Surprise, mass and speed. "Reserves must be husbanded with the most extreme parsimony so that the bludgeon may be strong enough to make the blow as violent as possible. Let loose at the finish, without any lurking idea of saving them, with a well thought out plan for winning the battle at a point chosen and determined, reserves are thrown in all together in an action surpassing in violence and energy all other phases of battle, an action with proper characteristics—surprise, mass, and speed. All our forces really participate, either by preparing it or by carrying it out. "In this, our supreme aim, we must not be deceived by appearances. Although theory fails when applied by feeble hands and when accessories obscure the main principle, history and reason show us that in battle there is a single argument which is worth while—namely, decisive attack, which is alone capable of assuring the desired result—the overthrow of the adversary." Inverted Point of View. There was a rush of wind, a cloud of dust, and the car rushed on, leaving the old gentleman sprawling in the roadway. He picked himself up and dashed up to a policeman, yelling excitedly: "That motorcar knocked me down!" The policeman took out a business-like notebook and said: "Did you notice the number, sir?" "Yes," said the injured one. "It was number 66." Just then another policeman, who had seen the accident, came hurrying up and said: "No, no! The number's 99. This gentleman was standing on his head when he noticed it!" Work That Will Pass Some young people are satisfied if they are doing work that will "pass." They are conscious of its defects, but if these are passed over without a challenge, they feel that they have done well enough. That is a mistake. We cannot be perfect, but we should not be satisfied with imperfections. Set your standard at the highest. See that nothing passes you that does not represent your best.—Girls' Companion. Made Him Devout Christian. Gen. Lew Wallace said that before writing "Ben Hur" he had no fixed religious convictions, but as the story grew and the Christ figure assumed reality his whole life was affected by it and when the work was completed he found himself for the first time in his life a devout Christian.

Take a fresh calf's tongue, put it in to boiling water and let it simmer for two hours or ed in milk may be used for a most appetizing loaf. Take a tablespoonful of peanut butter for each cup of cooked rice, add seasoning and moisten with either tomato or soup stock. Bake until hot, cover with buttered crumbs, and when they are brown serve in the dish in which it is baked. long enough to loosen the skin easily. Put four tablespoonfuls of butter into a saucepan and when hot add a cupful of small onions, one red pepper, one and a half teaspoonfuls of salt and a tablespoonful of vinegar, two small carrots chopped, one-half pound each of dates and raisins, well chopped, then add a pint of the liquor in which the tongue was cooked and simmer one hour. Remove the tongue, thicken the sauce and pour around the tongue when serving. Noodles and Ham.—Butter a baking dish or quart mold and sprinkle thickly with fine bread crumbs, then line with cooked cold noodles. Put in a layer of chopped ham, highly seasoned, then a layer of noodles until the dish is full. Cover and bake one hour. Turn out on a platter and serve with spinach or sauerkraut. Scrambled eggs served with half a cupful of grated cheese which is just allowed to melt is a most appetizing supper dish. Spiced Carrots.—Cook young carrots until tender, sprinkle with flour, powdered cloves, butter and lemon juice, reheat and serve with minced parsley as a garnish. Stuffed Onions—Parboil good-sized onions and stuff the centers, chopping the portion removed; add egg, a little flour, a clove of garlic chopped, a half-cupful of grated cheese, butter, salt and pepper. Mix well and fill with the well-blended mixture. Bake until thoroughly cooked. Rice Griddle Cakes.—Mix two cupfuls of boiled rice with the same amount of milk, and let it stand over night. In the morning add two or three cupfuls of corn flour sifted with two or three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a dash of sugar, and salt to taste. Beat until well mixed, add two beaten eggs and fry on a hot griddle. Salmon Sandwich Filling—Take a can of salmon, removing the bones and skin, and put it through a sieve; add to it two tablespoonfuls of melted butter or substitute, a saltspoon of mace and a dash or two of cayenne. Mix the paste very thoroughly and press it into small glasses, pour over a layer of melted fat and keep in a cool place. Nice for Sunday night lunch. A chopped pickle may be added when using the paste to give zest to it as well as variety. Beets With Spinach.—Pick over, wash, and put to cook a half peck of spinach. Cook in unsalted water to which a pinch of soda has been added; do not cover. Near the end of the cooking add a teaspoonful of sugar. When tender, drain and chop. Add butter, flour, three tablespoonfuls of fat and one of flour, with a half cupful of cream. Reheat and pack in a border mold and let stand in hot water to keep warm. Peanut and Rice Loaf.—Take a cupful each of ground peanuts, fresh and crisp; tomato, strained bread crumbs, and cooked rice with salt, pepper and paprika to taste. Mix all together and steam one hour. Sprinkle with buttered crumbs and brown in the oven. This is a fine meat substitute. When ready to serve turn out on a platter with buttered beets in the center. Garnish the platter with hard-cooked eggs cut in eighths. This dish is not only a pleasing color combination but tastes equally well. Mold left-over cereal, such as oatmeal, in small cups. Unmold and scoop out the centers and fill with any fresh fruit mixed with sugar; heap over the top sweetened whipped cream, or a thin custard may be served as a sauce.

Take a bundle of asparagus, cut off the heads and put them aside for a more delicate dish. Cover the shoots, after cutting in small pieces, with a quart of water and cook until the asparagus is tender. Rub through a colander and add this pulp with the liquor used in cooking to a pint of milk. Cook together two tablespoonfuls of corn or barley flour and two tablespoonfuls of sweet fat; stir into the soup and bring to boiling point. Serve with popcorn. loyal and disloyal, for the great majority of our American women are keenly loyal. No woman who reads and thinks can be otherwise; but the two classes are the small number of loyal and disloyal, for the great majority of our American women are keenly loyal. No woman who reads and thinks can be otherwise; but the two classes are the small number of women who need not worry because of expense, and the great number who must count every penny to make ends meet. Celery Soup.—Put two tablespoonfuls of sweet fat in a saucepan, and when bubbling hot add a slice of onion; cook until brown, then add a pint of cabbage water (water saved when cooking cabbage), four carrots ground fine, all stewed gently for an hour in a tight kettle; then add two tablespoonfuls of butter. The woman who must watch her purse closely, that her family is well and economically fed, is she who must study food values, attend every lecture on foods where she may gain new ideas or inspiration. We are confused very often in our judgments of food values by taking this or that food and learning its nutritive value, but forgetting that different foods act upon each other in the digestive process, thus producing a more highly nutritive food than either taken separately. There will always be something lacking in substituting one food for another. Rice and potatoes cannot take the place of wheat, yet by adding a variety of foods to our diet the health of the body as well as its growth may be kept up with no wheat at all. Turnip Soup.—Put a tablespoonful of butter, one slice of onion and three slices of carrot into a saucepan and stir over the heat until the onion is yellow; then add four good-sized tarnips which have been ground through the meat chopper. Cover and let simmer without water over slow heat. There should be a pint of pulp; after 20 minutes add a quart of milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter blended with the same amount of flour, using barley or corn flour; a half teaspoonful of kitchen bouquet; salt and pepper to taste. Serve with croutons. The housewife who must consider cost, with food substitutes, is the housewife who needs to study, and over 80 per cent of our American women are in that class. Clear Tomato Soup.—Add a pint of water to a quart of tomatoes, a slice of onion, a half a bay leaf, a dash of celery salt and a few celery tops, a teaspoonful of salt and a chopped green pepper. Cook all together 15 minutes, then bind with two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch and butter cooked together. When a butter substitute is used on the table see that the family has plenty of egg yolk and green vegetables to supply the growth determinant found in butter. It is better, where possible, to serve butter to the growing child and economize in some other way. A dessert rich in eggs should be served at a meatless meal, and an eggless dessert may likewise follow a dinner when meat is served. We are apt to feel that eggs used in foods can be saved, thus cutting down expense; but every egg added to corn bread, griddle cakes, cake or pudding adds just that much more food value to the dish. Nellie Maxwell Do You Know That一 John Galsworthy Describes the Poilu at His Best. Glad of Opportunity to Divide Rations and Make Friends With Four-footed Creature That Had Evidently Known Suffering. The sun, boring into his spine through his thin shirt, made him reach for his jacket. There was the little dog still sitting on its base, 20 yards away. It cowered and dropped its ears when he moved, and he thought: "Poor beast! Some one has been doing the devil's work on you, not badly!" There were some biscuit in the pocket of his jacket, and he held one out. The dog shivered and its pink tongue lolled panting with desire and fear. Jean Liotard tossed the biscuit gently about half way. The dog cowered back a step or two, crept forward three, and again squatted. Then very gradually it crept up to the biscuit, bolted it, and regained its distance. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF The soldier took out another. This time he threw it five paces only in front of him. Again the little beast cowered, slunk forward, seized the biscuit, devoured it; but this time it only recoiled a pace or two, and seemed, with panting mouth and faint wagging of the tail, to beg for more. Jean Liotard held a third biscuit as far in front of him as he could, and waited. The creature crept forward and squatted just out of reach. There it sat, with saliva dropping from its mouth; seemingly it could not make up its mind to that awful venture. The soldier sat motionless; his outstretched hand began to tire, but he did not budge—he meant to conquer its fear. JOB PRINTING Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY At last it snatched the biscuit. Jean Liotard instantly held out a fourth. That, too, was snatched, but at the fifth he was able to touch the dog. It cowered almost into the ground at the touch of his fingers, and then lay, still trembling violently, while the soldier continued to stroke its head and ears. And suddenly his heart gave a twitter; the creature had licked his hand. He took out his last biscuit, broke it up and fed the dog slowly with the bits, talking all the time; when the last crumb was gone he continued to murmur and crumple its ears softly. He had become aware of something happening within the dog—something in the nature of conversation, as if it were saying: "Master, my new master!—I worship, I love you!" The creature came gradually closer, quite close; then put up its sharp, black nose and began to lick his face.—From "Cafard," by John Galsworthy, in Scribner's.

Liberty Cycle's Wheels. One of the outstanding features of the Liberty motorcycle, the standardized machine developed by the quartermaster corps for army service in France, is the interchangeability of its wheels, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine in an illustrated article. A spare wheel, to be carried on the sidecar, will take the place of any one of the three wheels in case of an emergency. Furthermore, such a change can be made in less than a minute. On either side are transverse tongues which fit into grooves in the driving-sprocket and brake-drum mechanisms carried on opposite prongs of the rear fork. In mounting the wheel it is only necessary to slide it into place and lock it with a knock-out axle, which consists simply of a central bolt and nut.

Saving the song birds of France is the object of a plan proposed by M. Andre Godart, a Parisian. M. Godart calls attention to the scarcity of birds in France, due to insufficient protection, and the consequent loss to grape growers of the Gironde in 1910 of 40,000,000 of francs, as well as a decrease in the oil production of southern France, so great that the olive growers threatened to abandon the industry. He suggests that goldfinches, bull finches, linnets, yellowhammers, thrushes, blackbirds and starlings, all of which nest readily in gardens, be reared in large and specially designed aviaries and released when full grown to repopulate the now deserted woods and fields. Presidents Who Were Soldiers. More than half of our presidents have served as soldiers. Washington and Monroe were soldiers in the Revolutionary war; Jackson, William Henry Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and Buchanan in the war of 1812; Lincoln in the Black Hawk war; Taylor, Pierce and Grant in the Mexican war; Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Benjamin Harrison and McKinley in the Civil war; Roosevelt in the war with Spain. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver Rich Ore Discovery. Montana is the latest state to report wonderful discoveries of manganese ore. There is great excitement in that state over an alleged marvelous discovery at a mine where already about 1,000,000 tons of this precious ore are in sight. In view of the many exaggerated reports concerning manganese ore that have been circulated in the United States since the war began, the report may mean little more than some of the others.

There is always black, of course, depending upon smartness of the design to rescue it from being commonplace. The luster of taffeta makes it a wonderful medium for colors. Very much less familiar are new summer coats of wool velours and silk jersey and of silk jersey with big sat- Lovely Extravagances Extravagances of Wedding Lovely Extravagances of Wedding Pageants Bride June weddings make a bright parenthesis in the grave story of war times. Just as many lovely brides grace just as many beautiful bridal processions this June as in junes gone by—and the joy they radiate is more than ever welcome. No one expects the bride to curtail any of her privileges on her great day. It comes but once in a lifetime and she is entitled to make the most of it. The pomp and circumstance of war is not to be compared to it. Society countenances the pretty extravagances of the wedding pageant and styles play into the hands of those who plan them. Malines and georgette crepe make the more than ever picturesque hats for bridesmaids. Some of these have veils of malines extended into scarfs that swathe the throat and partly cover the face. Special thought has been bestowed on the matron of honor—the most dignified millinery featuring her position. In a procession where there were two flower girls, small soft hats of narrow, val lace, trimmed with little rose buds were allowed them. In this company the matron of honor wore a wide-brushed hat of sand-colored malines and pale-gold lace, with a full short mantle of malines to match with collar of gold lace. The bridesmaids rejoiced in wide hats of pink georgette crepe with big, soft popples made of the same material, set about the crown. For brides who decide against the conventional white satin and long veil, pretty hats of white malines and small white flowers have been provided with --- ```markdown ``` in collars. In the combinations of silk and wool the body of the coat—that portion about the shoulder and sleeve—is of the silk, often extended below the waist, forming a long waist effect. Collars—which are ample—are of the velours and cuffs to match them. Those who are looking for something new might consider the silk jersey or wool and Jersey combinations. Pongee, like taffeta, we have always with us in aristocratic coats. They are among those present this year. Very handsome models are entirely of pongee and others of pongee and black satin, the satin used in collars and cuffs and in wide borders at the bottom of the garment. Very handsome long capes of black satin lined with colored satin have scored a success, and some very dressy capes are in light colors finished with deep silk fringes. of Wedding Pageants long ends of malnes falling from the back to be wrapped about the neck and shoulders. For these simpler weddings organdle dresses and organdle hats give the bridesmaids every chance for lovely color and quaint design in their frocks and millinery. Organdle and net, or organdle and lace combined make fascinating wedding gowns. There are many ways of draping the veil. One very good way is to gather the tulle into a band of silver lace to form a close-fitting cap; another is arranged in a larger cap with double frill about the face—as shown in the picture, and a third presents the veil falling from a coronet of fine lace, wired to hold it in position. Julia Bottomley It is interesting to note the different effects materials have in the various shades. Brilliant, clear colors are good looking for dull materials. By a dull material is meant one which does not show up in the high lights. Reds and bright blues look well, for instance, in crepe or homespun, and have a totally different effect when matched exactly in the same shade of satin or velvet. Quite the reverse is the case with browns or blacks, for satin or velvet is almost a necessity to keep these colors from looking dull and somber. ```markdown ``` J. R. CONTEE, Pres. and Mgr.
