LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY DEMOCRAT FLAYS PRESENT POLICY OF DEPARTMENTS IN SHARP ATTACK UPON HIS OWN PARTY SENATOR KING CHARGES CONTINUAL WASTE—HINTS ILLEGAL EXPENDITURES. VOL. XXV. DEMOCRAT FL POLICY OF I IN SHARP ATTACK UPON HIS CHARGES CONTINUAL W EXPEND WASHINGTON, July 15.—One of the sharpest attacks which has yet been made in Congress upon the policy of the executive departments and bureaus to keep as many persons on the government pay roll at the expense of the taxpayers as possible was made by Senator King of Utah, one of the Democratic leaders. Senator King's statements bore out much that has been said with respect to the extravagant insistence of officials to employ practically as many people as they employ while the war was on Senator King declared some of the heads of bureaus ought to be investigated and perhaps suit ought to be instituted against them to recover expenditures illegally made. More Than Required. "When our country entered the war of course it became necessary to increase the number of employés," said Senator King. "The result was that tens of thousands came to Washington, many more, in my opinion, than were needed. It has seemed to me that there is a predetermination upon the part of departments, bureaus and governmental agencies to keep in Washington and in the service of the government all those who were brought here for an emergency. Instead of there being an attempt to separate some of these individuals from the rolls there seems to be a determination to keep them upon the rolls as employés of the government. Only a few thousand have been discharged from the various departments and in many of the departments and bureaus there are more people employed now than there were at any time during the period of the war. Continue to Spend. "Instead of endeavoring to reduce expenses and practice economy many of these executive agencies are evincing a purpose to continue upon a war basis and expend the same or larger sums than the necessities of the war called for. Reductions will only come when Congress enacts appropriate legislation and refuses to make the appropriations demanded by such agencies and departments. As long as the appeals and demands of bureaus and departments and agencies and instrumentalities are controlling, this vast army of employés in Washington and throughout the country will be continued. I venture the opinion that every department and exery executive agency represented here in Washington has submitted many reasons for continuing the war agencies and war machinery and war appropriations. There are outcries and wails of despair when Congress attempts economies and threatens to reduce the number of employés or the compensation which was based upon war conditions." --- State Hist. & Nat Hist Boc State House NEGROES MAKE CHARGE OF DISCRIMINATION Allege That U. S. Railroad Administration Has Order Applying to Race. CHARGING that the Railroad Administration had issued an order discriminating against Negroes in the sale of railroad tickets, the National WAR BENER THE NE FIELD SECRETARY OF SOCIETY COLORED PEOPLE THE CONDID WAR BENEFICIAL TO THE NEGRO RACE FIELD SECRETARY OF SOCIETY FOR ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE TELLS OF IMPROVED CONDITIONS. SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.—The war has had many results that will be found beneficial to the American Negroes, according to James Weldon Johnson, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, who explained the work that this organization is doing to advance the interests of Negroes in the United States, in an address in this city recently. The war has not only served as an occasion for another demonstration of the Negroes' loyalty to the United States, he said, but it has been instrumental in bringing to light many other facts regarding the Negro race that would otherwise have doubtless remained unknown. Speaking of the nature of the work that is being done by the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, which has several hundred branches throughout the country and 500,000 members, he said that this organization is taking an active part in defending in the courts the constitutional rights of the Negro people. The most important victory that has been won in this regard, he said, was the unanimous decision of the United States Supreme Court to the effect that segregation ordinances that have recently been passed in several Southern cities, whereby Negro and white people were not allowed to live in the same block, are unconstitutional. This decision, he said, marks the turning point in a long line of decisions that have affected the Negro race, and will have far-reaching results wherever Negro people live throughout the country. One other instance mentioned by the speaker, where appeal to the courts had resulted in giving justice to the Negro people, was in Jacksonville, Fla., where a $1,000,000 bond issue had been voted for school purposes.

Hines, Director General of the Railroads, demanding in the "name of United States citizenship," the rescinding of the alleged order. "We have been informed," stated the protest, "that for some time past the offices of the Railroad Administration have been discriminating against purchasers of railroad tickets for third parties who were Negroes. The United States Railway ticket office at Cleveland, O., refused to sell to the Rev. H. C. Bailey, pastor of the Antioch Baptist Church of that city, a ticket from Madison Ala., to Cleveland, which Mr. Bailey desired to send his daughter, Mrs. Lottie Beadle. The clerk refused to sell Mr. Bailey the ticket, saying that an order had been issued by the Director General against such practice on the ground that it was 'encouraging colored labor to come North.'" The Association declared that the protest was backed by its 220 branches and its total membership of 57,000 persons. It was stated that the alleged practice constituted "an intolerable tyranny."

In the apportionment of the $1,000,000 for the expansion and renovation of the system, $9,000 was set aside for the Negro schools, and the remainder was to be used for the whites chools. All petitions and appeals by white and Negro citizens for a more just apportionment were fruitless, he said, but when the matter was taken to court by the association the sum apportioned to the Negro schools was increased from $9,000 to $340,000. Chr. S. Monitor. WHITE SOUTH'S PROTEST AGAINST LYNCHING Georgia Women's Protest RESOLUTIONS condemning lynching as a means of punishing crime of "any name or character" have been unanimously passed by the executive board of the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs. This action was taken at a recent meeting of the board, which was held at the home of Mrs. Nellie Peters Black, state president. The state federation now consists of 370 clubs located in every section of Georgia and the entire membership is over 25,000. The officers of these clubs have been urged to bring these resolutions on lynching to the attention of their members, and to ask each one to use her influence to "remove this curse from Georgia." All the members of the federation are working for the good of Georgia and their interest in the upbuilding of the Negro race is one of their most ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION --- important issues. A series of cooking schools in the larger cities of Georgia has already begun. This is only one of a number of steps taken by the federation in its efforts to aid the Negro. The resolutions follow: "Whereas, Lynching substitutes the violent passions of the mob for the orderly processes of the courts of justice, thus creating in the minds of our people disrespect for all law; and, "Whereas, The fair name of our state has been grievously injured and its development retarded by the publication abroad of lynching statistics which misrepresent the overwhelming majority of our law-abiding and peace-loving citizens; and, "Whereas, It is in the power of the enlightened women of the state to create a public sentiment in favor of law and against the continued blight of mob violence; therefore be it "Resolved, That the executive board of the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs hereby records its unqualified condemnation of lynching as a means of punishing crime of any name or character; and further be it "Resolved, That we request the officers of the clubs throughout the state to bring this matter to the attention of their members and urge them to use their influence in every proper way to remove this curse from Georgia."—Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. AN ECONOMIC DRAWBACK THERE is a great deal said about attracting sturdy western people to the untenanted acres of the South; but we defeat our own purposes when we sanction contempt of law and resorts to violence. The Western people have quite a different idea of what is good citizenship and they seriously doubt the wisdom of settling in a land where the laws are flouted and no one is brought to punishment for so doing. They cannot understand that life and property as a general thing, are as safe with us as in any other part of the country. They judge by what they read in the papers and, so judging, decline the proposals to move into the South. Thus it is that lynching does us incalculable harm on the economic side. It hurts also since it is interpreted as the evidence of a low state of civilization. The few who are lawless have the power to cast discredit upon the whole southern people. The way to escape is through the creation and establishment of sound public opinion. The thing is possible, as we see exemplified in Virginia. Let self-respecting people speak out against this sort of crime; let grand juries indict and the courts try and convict the law breakers, no longer making excuses, but recognizing that lynching is an unmitigated evil and must be blotted out.—Journal, Montgomery, Ala. ALL NEGROES LOOK ALIKE TO AMERICAN MILITARY POLICE. Etidice Saint Eloi, twenty-seven years old, a French Negro, born at Port Louis, Guadaloupe, has been shot by Stephen J. Wharton, an American military police at Nantes. The M. P. who had orders to be on the lookout for an American deserter, mistok the French Negro for his man, and questioned him. Misunderstanding the Negro's motive, the M. P. drew his revolver and fired. The bullet passed thru the Negro's abdomen and hit a woman standing near by. Luckily the bullet had spent its force and she escaped injury. An ambulance hurried the Negro to the hospital where he died shortly after. RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources That the daughter of Samuel Cole-ridge-Taylor has inherited her father's genius is proven by recently published pieces and by successful concert appearances in London. Homer L. Ferguson, president of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, reported at the Sixth National Trade Convention that Negro workmen in his plant were drawing as hight as $175 per weekly wage. The Alpha Phi Alpha, a colored international fraternity organized in 1906, now has twenty chapters and 1,500 members. Of these members ninety-seven were commissioned officers in the United States army. The University Commission on Southern Race Questions, a white organization, at its ninth annual meeting, after praising Negro soldiers, makes this apel to college men: "Let us seek to cultivate a more tolerant spirit, a more generous sympathy and a wider degree of co-operation between the best elements of both races; to emphasize the best rather than the worst features of inter-racial relations; to secure greater publicity for those whose vows are based on reason rather than prejudice." Columbus, Ohio, July 8.—"There is no chance of the Negro being a menace to this country if he is given an opportunity to own his own home through a fair day's pay," declared Bishop Francis J. McConnell of Denver at the Methodist centenary exposition Monday. Monday was Negro day at the centenary and many bishops of the Methodist church joined in praising the Negro and advanced their idea for intensive co-operation in religious work. (By Associated Negro Press.) Boston, July 7.—Clarence R. Vän Allen, corporal of Company L, 372 Infantry regiment, who put a German machine gun out of action single-handed, killing four of its crew and capturing three others, one of the bravest exploits of the war, was decorated today with the Medaille Militarie, the highest honor France confers on an enlisted man. Officers of the Northeastern Department, who turned out in a body to honor the man, who was formerly a waiter here, said they believed he was the first American soldier to receive the decoration. His valor is a distinction for the entire race. CONVENTIONS FOR NEGRO BETTERMENT New Orleans, La.—Two conventions have been held here recently, each having for its object the furtherance of the welfare and the improvement of conditions of the Negro in the South. One of these meetings was made up of representative white men of Mississippi and Louisiana. This is the Welfare League of Mississippi. The other embraced Negro leaders, about equally divided between North and South, who organized themselves at their meeting into the Lincoln League. Both these organizations went on record as holding the same views of changes necessary in existing conditions for the betterment of the Negro, such as improved opportunities for education; better comforts on transportation lines where the Negroes are NO.39. separated from the whites; complete protection within their rights under the law; better housing conditions, and elimination of lynchings. With some intimation of the result of the return of about 300,000 Negro soldiers of voting age to this country, the Lincoln League, which is headed by Roscoe Conklin Simmons, demands equal franchise for the Negro. The first national convention of the Lincoln League of America will be held in Chicago, September 16-18. A MENACE TO CIVILIZATION. THE lynchings record of the year just closed, carried by the Associated Press, and published in the "Constitution," shows that Georgia leads all other states, with eighteen lynchings to its discredit, or twice as many as any other state. The list of states in which lynchings occurred during 1918, with the number of such crimes committed in each state, is as follows: Alabama, 3; Arkansas, 2; California, 1; Florida, 2; Georgia, 18; Illinois, 1; Kentucky, 1; Louisiana, 9; Mississippi, 6; North Carolina, 2; Oklahoma, 1; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 4; Texas, 9; Virginia, 1; Wyoming, 1. This list was compiled by the Department of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute, and is accepted as being authentic, as the accuracy of its statistics in this respect has never been assailed. It is certainly approximately correct, and the showing should bring the blush of shame to the cheek of every Georgian who is proud of his state and sensitive to any disparagement of its good name! In only sixteen of the forty-eight states did any lynchings occur during the year just closed. The total number was sixty-two, or twenty-four more than during 1917. Georgia headed the list in 1917; and, as if determined not to be outdone, comes forward with eighteen lynchings to its discredit for 1918, with its nearest competitors standing neck-and-neck with nine each—the record of both combined equaling that of Georgia alone. Of course Georgia will receive its due quota of publicity as a result of this discreditable record of outlawry. For years the "Constitution" has been engaged in an effort to arouse a sentiment in this state that would stamp out lynching and mob violence. The time was when lynching was resorted to as punishment for only one offense; and when it was most exceptional that a lynching occurred for any other than that one cause. Whenever there was a lynching for that cause those who conducted it took the position that it would never be resorted to for any other. "The Constitution' then expressed a warning that, if mob law were tolerated in any instance and for any cause, it would surely spread; and that it eventually would get beyond bounds; that it was only a step from lynching for that one type of crime to mob law for less heinous offenses. Our prediction has come true, as is shown by the fact that, of the eighteen lynchings that occurred in this state last year, only a small proportion of the number bore any relation whatever to the offenses for which lynching was ever accorded any measure of justification! Now we find lynching resorted to as punishment for even robbery and petty crime. Either the public sentiment of Georgia must put an end to lynching, and restore universal power and authority of law, or else mob law is going to pull down the civilization of this state! Time and time again the "Constitution" has sounded the warning that, if the state does not meet its obligations in this respect, the federal government will step in and do the work itself, because no state in the Union is going to be permitted thus to blacken the national escutcheon. The worst feature of the lynching record of Georgia is that every year it grows worse, and the state seems to be helpless. Again we appeal to the better people of Georgia to waken!—Constitution, Atlanta, Ga.

Official Information Shows Carranza Barely Clings to Control Over Rest. HAS ONLY 60,000 TROOPS President Is Too Weak to Keep Order as Bandits Harass Whole Country —Industry Snuffed Out and Morale at Low Ebb. New York.—The Mexican problem was never more toublesome. Conditions in that revolution-racked land were never more chaotic than they are today. Carranza now controls little more than one-half of Mexican territory and his hold on that is not at all secure. Opposed to him are six organized rebel organizations, not including the Sonora Yaquil, while everywhere his authority is hampered and his troops harassed by organized banditry. Bearing upon actual conditions in Mexico, the New York Times has come into possession of certain information, now in the official possession of the United States government. Verification of these statements which follow is to be found in the archives of the government in Washington. Carranza has officially claimed that he is supported by a regular army of 120,000 well disciplined and well equipped troops. This statement is not borne out by the facts in the case, and the truth of the matter is that his armed forces number not more than 60,000 officers and enlisted men, who are poorly equipped, whose morale is at low ebb, yet upon whose loyalty depends Carranza's sway over a people who number more than 115,000,000. Today the Coahula "chieftain" is exercising authority in those parts of Mexico not under rebel or bandit domination as a dictator and through the promulgation of executive decrees. Of the great American border-line Carranza is in control of not much more than one-third, while the whole of southern Mexico is severed from "federal control" by a stretch of rebel-controlled territory that on the Atlantic extends from the rich oil lands of Tampaico almost to the City of Verna Cruz, and on the Pacific by the entire coast line of the great state of Oaxaca. Lower California has become to all intents and purposes independent of the government that sits in Mexico City. Three General Divisions. The contending forces in Mexico may be referred to under three general heads. They are: First—The federal or Carranzista forces. Second—The rebel forces led by Fellip Angeles, Francisco Villa, Gullermo Meixuerio, a full-blooded Zapotec Indian, and by many well-informed observers considered the ablest and most trustworthy leader in Mexico; Felix Diaz, Manuel Pelaez, who dominates the Tampico and adjacent oil fields; the Zapatistas, still, despite Carranza affirmation, a power in that part of Mexico of which the state of Morelos is the center; General Cantu, governor of the state of Lower California, and the organized Yaqui Indian forces of the western part of the border state of Sonora. Third—The bandits who, in small groups, are operating everywhere in Mexico. As to the first or federal forces supporting Carranza, it is, as already pointed out, the official claim of the present Mexican, or Carranza, government, that this force numbers 120,000 men. It is a conscript army to a great extent and it is small and inefficient for two reasons, the first being Carranza's inability to enforce conscription, and the second the fact that he is unable properly to equip, train, or maintain necessary discipline. Owing to these two conditions, over which Carranza appears to have no control, the federal army of Mexico is today at its maximum strength. It is an army poorly organized and poorly equipped. Of this army a large proportion is held in or near Mexico City, leaving the remainder, numbering less than a full division, according to the American organization, to guard and maintain supremacy in the states of Nuevo Leon, eastern Coahuila, southern Durango, Hildago, San Luis Potosí, Guanajuato, Queretaro, Michoacan, Jallisco, Teplic, Zacatecas, Guerrero, Colima, Chiapas, Campeachy, Yucatan, Tabasco, Quintana Roo, and the eastern or Atlantic edge of the state of Vera Cruz, which territory on paper remains under federal control. The big transcontinental stretch of rebel-controlled territory, which averages more than 100 miles in width, and which forms an unbroken barrier from ocean to ocean, completely separates the federal-controlled states of the south-Chiapas, Campeachy, Yucatan, Tabasco, part of Vera Cruz and Quintana Roo—from the states or parts of states over which Carranza still holds sway in the north. Villa Forces Strongest. Of the organized opposition groups which are seeking to overthrow Carranza, the most powerful is that which is operating in Chihuahua and neighboring states under Angeles and Villa. The Villistas, as this force is popularly known, is not the unorganized, poorly equipped, and undisciplined force that a great many people in this country think it is. It is, on the other hand, probably the best organized and equipped military organization in Mexico. It numbers 10,000 men commanded by Angeles, the French trained rebel leader, with Villa second in command. It is well equipped with rifles and is said to have a fairly well organized artillery arm, and the Villistas fire the best ammunition, which, as a rule, is American made and is smuggled across the Rio Grande by "gun runners." The Angeles-Villa forces are today practically in control of the entire state of Chihuahua, a large part of Durango, the eastern part of Sonora, and the western part of Carranza's own state of Coahulla. The one part of Chihuahua that Angeles and Villa do not control is the border city of Junarez, opposite El Paso, and they would today be in possession of that much-needed border port but for the fact that they brought about American intervention in their plans by firing over the border into the Texas city. The Americans did not go to Juarez to help Carranza, as some people think, but solely for the purpose of safeguarding the lives of Americans on the Texas side of the Rio Grande. The next more important rebel force in Mexico is that under command of Manuel Pelaez, who dominates the oil-producing regions of the Tampico country. Pelaez has under his command 3,000 well organized and fairly well equipped men. The value of the foreign oil interests in the territory in which Pelaez is operating is estimated at more than $300,000,000. Pelaez is said to be pro-ally in sentiment, and to this is due in large part the failure of the Germans and their Carranzista sympathizers to gain control of the oil fields while the European war was actively under way. Allies Like Meixuerlo. Under Guillermo Meixuerio, in the state of Oaxaca, is another rebel force of several thousand well organized men. Carranza has made desperate but ineffectual efforts to dislodge Meixuerio, who is easily one of his most feared opponents, and whose record is such as to win the sympathetic approval of the allies. Meixuerio is a full-blooded Zapotgc, a lawyer, and a man of fine education. Next in importance among the rebel groups is that commanded by Felix Diaz. Under Diaz, according to official information, there are approximately 5,000 men. The Diaz forces, however, unlike those under Pelaez, Angeles and Meixuerio, are loosely organized and are said to be in great Bat on Shoulder Called Good Luck in Poker Game. Canton, O.—Mystery surrounding the purchase of live bats at $10 by Cantonians was solved when one of the purchasers explained that bats bring good luck. During the last several weeks a number of bats have been sold in Canton. Advertisements have been run in the newspapers and many persons are anxious to obtain them. "If you keep a bat in your pocket or let it perch on your shoulder when you sit in a game of cards, you are sure to have good luck," remarked one bat owner. He added he knew a man in Chicago who owned a bat and he always had good luck. need of ammunition and other war materials. Despite this handicap, however, the Felicistas, as the Dlaz rebels are known, continue to be a force, and all the efforts of Carranza to break up the organization have failed. The Felicistas are operating in the state of Tamaulipas in the north and in part of Hidalgo, Puebla, and Vera Cruz in the south. The southern Felicista area forms the center link in the rebel ocean barrier. The state of Morelos and small parts of the states of Mexico and Guerrero form the area in which the famous Zapatistas are and have been operating for the last seven years. As for Cantu, in Lower California, the situation there can be dismissed with a word. Cantu is in absolute control of that part of Mexico, and Carranza is making no effort to interfere with the independent state that Cantu has set up. Smuggle Arms In. The seventh of Carranza's troubles are the Yaquis of western Sonora. They are operating in bandit groups and number probably several thousand. Like the Villistas, they are armed and equipped by smuggling from the United States. The Yaquis are among the hardest and best fighters in Mexico, and little if any effort is being made by the federal government to restore order in that part of Sonora under their domination. Lastly, the bandits. Official reports prove that everywhere in Mexico the outlaw bands are to be found. Their number is unknown, but they are powerful enough to hold the attention of a considerable part of Carranza's hard-pressed little regular army of 60,000 men. Briefly, what precedes gives the line-up of the factions that are fighting for control of Mexico. Here are some of the facts, officially established, that have resulted from the country-wide internecine strife in Mexico. Economically Mexico is in the midst of a crisis which is characterized by the intense poverty and the actual want of the great mass of the people. The morale of the population everywhere was never lower than at the present time. The general health of the people is everywhere bad. Cattle raising, the principal industry of the nation, is today only about ten per cent of what it was in 1914. Of all Mexican industries, the growing of henequin alone shows progress. All textile factories and sugar mills, with a few exceptions, are out of business, and those that are operating are run down and in need of repair. Practically all of the country's 16,000 miles of railroads are demoralized or destroyed as a result of rebel and bandit activity. Not a cent of interest has been paid on the national foreign debt in more than five years. More than 75 per cent of the population is now absolutely illiterate. The national credit is gone, and the foreign oil interests are, despite the apparent friendly attitude of Pelaez, menaced. As an indication of the health of the people, latest reports estimate the yearly death rate in Mexico City is 21,000, while the reported birth rate is only 7,500. It is believed, however, that a correct census would show a larger birth rate, although the 7,500 estimate is official. At the present time all reliable reports coming out of Mexico indicate the precarious condition of the Carranza government. Carranza has been during the past three years probably the most pro-German head of a state in the western hemisphere. Openly Pro-German. Until recently his attitude has been unfriendly to the United States, and when he thought Germany was winning he made no efforts to conceal his sympathy for the Teutons. Legislation that was passed during the war and which was directed against the milled oil holdings in the Tampico country is generally believed, in private as well as official circles, to have been inspired by German interests and representatives in Mexico. Protests against this legislation have been filed by the American, British and French governments. Since he developed his anti-American attitude Carranza has fanned his supporters with the slogan of "Latin-American Solidarity" against the great northern republic, and today the most generally developed trait in the majority of Mexicans in federal controlled territory is that of anti-Americanism.

Kelch, superintendent of the American Refrigerator Transit Company is in Grand Junction making arrangements for handling approximately 3,500 cars of fruit and 800 cars of potatoes. The total acreage of corn grown in Colorado in 1900, according to the census report, was 326,559 acres. In 1919 five counties in the eastern part of the state have more than 350,000 acres of corn in cultivation. The per capita assessed valuation of property in Colorado for 1918 was $1,384.94, compared with $1,276.39 for 1917. Jackson county leads in this respect, with $4,708.79, and Huerfano county has the lowest, $788.33. The total acreage of wheat and corn planted for the 1919 harvest in Colorado is slightly greater than the entire acreage under cultivation in the state in 1909. The wheat acreage is in excess of 1,000,000 acres and that of corn is very close to the million mark. All the Jefferson county men who served in Uncle Sam's military or naval forces during the war were guests of the city of Golden and people came from all section of the county to attend the "Welcome Home" day celebration held there. Work has started on clearing away the ruins of the ice plant owned by B. F. Stauffer, which was burned at Rocky Ford, to make space for the erection of a cold storage plant which will be larger than the building that was burned. The loss caused by the fire is estimated at $25,000. When Mrs. Hannah T. Walpole, widow of the late Richard C. Walpole, one of the most prominent of Kansas City's pioneer business men, died in Denver as the result of burns inflicted when a defective electric warmer set fire to her bed in a hotel, a premonition of her son, Herbert A. Walpole, became a realized sorrow. The superintendent of transportation of the Cashin mines, which recently opened in the Paradox section after three years of idleness, has offered to contribute $40,000 toward the construction of a road from their mines to Montrose if the county will contribute a like amount, so that they can locate their offices in this city instead of at the mines as now situated. The real estate bureau of the Civic and Commercial Association of Denver has been asked to present recommendations to the board of directors with regard to the proposed "President's summer home" on Mount Falcon. This action was taken after request was made by John Brisben Walker for consideration of further action. This project has been before Denver's business men for several years. The binoculars which Denver citizens loaned the United States government last fall for use of the navy in war are being returned to their owners through the bureau of navigation at Washington. More than 100 of these instruments, according to officers of the navy recruiting station, were loaned the government by Denver citizens, and several of these have reported that their binoculars have been returned, accompanied by a $1 check, the payment of the United States government for their rental. Six Colorado counties, Weld, Morgan, Logan, Adams, Washington and Yuma have more land planted in corn this year than was planted in the entire state. These figures, although not yet complete, indicate that the acreage devoted to corn in the state this year will more than double that of 1909 and considerably larger than that of last year. A tent city, splendidly decorated, will be established at City park in Denver as part of the Colorado day celebration on Aug. 1 this year. The forty-third anniversary of the admission of Colorado to the sisterhood of states will take the form of a "welcome home" for the returned fighting men of the army and navy and for the war nurses. An auto accident which resulted in the death of Emil Hedstrom, widely known rancher, and caused injury to three others, occurred when the auto in which the four were riding turned over. The car was traveling at a high rate of speed, when one of the tires burst and flew off. The car turned a complete somersault. This is the second fatal accident that has occurred near Haxtun recently.

The first session of the League of Nations is to be held in Washington in October and will bring to the capital Premiers Lloyd George, Clemenceau and practically all of the distinguished statesmen who have taken part in the peace negotiations in Paris. Visits of royal personages and distinguished European statesmen to the United States in the past were few and far between. In the future they promise to be frequent. The great of the world have conceived a new idea of the importance of the United States since the world war. Moreover, since it is diplomatic courtesy to repay the visit of a chief of state, the rulers of the countries visited by President Wilson will feel obligated to visit the United States, even if they should not be prompted to do so by personal interest. Navy Dress Uniform Knocked Into a Cocked Hat SECRETARY DANIELS has issued an order cutting down the wardrobes of naval officers to a minimum. Gone are the special full-dress outfits which ate up a large portion of the officers' pay. Cocked hats, epaulets and full-dress belts also are forbidden. The order reads: part of the naval officer's equipment the following articles of clothing: Speak hat; dress coat; mess jacket; full-dress trousers; mess trousers; a cocked epaulets and full-dress belts. "The following prescribed uniforms are abolished by the order: "Special full dress; white special full dress; full dress; white full dress; dress; evening full dress; dinner dress and mess dress. "The action will result in a great saving to the officers of the service in the future, as they are required to purchase all articles of uniforms at their own expense. The only uniforms now authorized to be worn are; Undress, service dress, white service dress, and evening dress, but only the service dress can be worn until the president's proclamation that the war has closed. Epaulets will not be worn with evening dress hereafter." The cocked hat of ancient and honorable memory is now relegated to the museum. It never will be missed. Every midshipman graduated last month from Annapolis is in pocket about $500 as the result of this order. Ideas of Living Expenses Seem to Vary Widely come from $150,000 until she is twenty-one and then the residue of his estate, amounting to $1,250,000. Miss Carroll lives with her mother and attends the Ogontz school of Philadelphia. In June, 1916, Surrogate Fowler permitted her mother to spend $12,500 a year on the daughter, instead of $7,500. Since that time her allowance has been increased to $15,000. A schedule of Miss Carroll's expenses shows: Rent, $2,000; clothing, including sport coats, evening dresses, auto coats, jewelry, furs, toilet articles, manicuring, shampooing, $3,000; household expenses, $4,000; insurance, $850; automobile operation, $5,000; education and church, $2,000; summer cottage, railroad fares, hotel bills, dances and amusement parties, $3,000; physicians, opticians, dentists, drugs and medicines, $1,000. Total, $20,850. Dr. Royal Meeker, commissioner of labor statistics, investigated 348 families in Chicago in the winter of 1918-19.

DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE Western Newspaper Union News Service. WESTERN Girl cadets at the Long Beach Polytechnic high school will be drilled with rifles next year and will be taught to shoot, according to Col. Charles H. Bolce, U. S. A., who is commandant of the Reserve Officers' Training corps unit at the school. Ralph B. Harris, alleged bank robber arrested in Denver, who let himself out of the county jail at Los Angeles with a key said to have been stolen from a jailer, was captured again at Long Beach and placed in jail after he had slashed a patrolman with a razor. Mayor James Rolph of San Francisco has appealed to President Wilson to take some action to end the strike of telephone workers. The strike has brought about a serious labor situation on the Pacific coast, the mayor's telegram said, and unions other than the telephone employés are about to become involved. Seven persons are dead and four are in a hospital at Dubuque, Iowa, seriously injured, the result of being caught in flood waters during a terrific storm. All the dead were drowned and the injured were hurt by being washed against trees and other objects during the storm. Property damage is estimated at $100,000. Chartering a seaplane at $1 a minute for a flight to catch the steamer Kasima Maru, which he missed when the vessel sailed from Seattle for Oriental ports, J. J. Mayer, Seattle Red Cross worker, booked for Vladivostok, succeeded in catching up with the ship near Port Townsend, Wash., after a thirty-five-minute flight. Mrs. George Virgil and three of her children and a minister named Kennedy, all of Gaza, Iowa, were killed when an Illinois Central railroad train struck the automobile in which they were riding. The accident occurred near Gaza. Mrs. Virgil's husband, who was driving the car, escaped uninjured. Three other children of Mr. and Mrs. Virgil were injured, two of them seriously. WASHINGTON President Wilson signed the act which provides for the return of telephone and telegraph lines to private companies at the end of the month. Ship deliveries in June totaled 118, of 578,583 deadweight tons, an increase of 106 per cent over deliveries during June, 1918, according to an announcement by the shipping board. Ships launched numbered ninety-seven, of 504,200 dead weight tons, an increase of 111 per cent over the same month last year. Germany increased her stock of gold during the war but lost $122,000,000 between January 1st and May 7th of this year according to information obtained by the Federal Reserve Board. The loss was due to reparations made Belgium and Rumania for gold stolen from those countries and by shipments to neutral countries for food. Beginning with $298,000,000 in gold at the outbreak of the war, the German Reichsbank increased its metal to $539,000,000 at the end of 1918. President Wilson has sent to the Senate the nomination of R. Percival Dodge of Massachusetts to be minister to the new kingdom of the Serbs, Cronts and Slovenes. Other nominations were John B. Payne of Illinois to be a member of the shipping board and Robert P. Steward, Deadwood, S. D., to be assistant attorney general. The British government has begun the construction of the largest dirigible that has yet been undertaken, according to word received by the air experts of the American government. The dirigible will cost $9,000,000. It will carry an equipment of six airplanes for its own protection. It will have a capacity of 10,000,000 cubic feet and will be 1,100 feet long. Murderers of a number of American citizens in Mexico have been apprehended and executed by the Mexican government, which through expenditure of two-thirds of the republic's revenues in the work of pacification is slowly restoring order, it was said by Ygnacia Bonillas, Mexican ambassador to the United States, who has just returned to Washington from Mexico City. In view of the statement by President Wilson that the railroads would be returned to their owners at the end of this year, Chairman Esch told the House interstate commerce committee that it would be useless to consider plans for a five-year extension of government control. Mexican bandits raided Villa Union, Sinaloa, killing Gen. Juan Carrasco, federal commander, according to telegraphic advises received at Nogales. The bandits carried off eleven Mexican girls, looted the stores and committed other depredations. FOREIGN The R-33, sister ship to the British dirigible R-34, which has just completed a round trip across the Atlantic, will start on a trip to India within the next few days. Eighteen million marks gold which the German government owed Switzerland and payment of which had been stopped temporarily by the allies, was taken to Switzerland as ordinary freight. One officer and six enlisted men were killed in the destruction of the American mine sweeper Richard H. Buckley by the explosion of a mine in the North sea. Two other officers were injured. Enver Pasha, Talant Bey and Djemal Pasha, the leaders of the Turkish government during the war, have been condemned to death by a Turkish court martial investigating the conduct of the Turkish government during the war period. Marshal Foch was given a laurel wreath of gold by the inhabitants of the Department of Seline-Et-Olse. President Poincare, speaking at the ceremony, held in the palace of Versailles, eulogized Marshal Foch for his deeds during the war. Twenty-five thousand French soldiers died from tuberculosis during the war and 126,000 men were exempted from service because of the disease, it was stated in the Senate during a discussion of a bill to establish tuberculosis sanitaryums. The first mascots to make the round trip across the Atlantic by air are a Maltese cat, "Wopsy," smuggled on board R-34 at East Fortune in Mechanic Fred Bowdle's hat and a dove carried on board by another mechanic. Bowdle said he refused an offer of $1,000 for "Wopsy" in New York. Government reports show that 1,000,000 sheep and 100,000 cattle have been drowned in floods in the southern part of Buenos Aires provinces. The railways and telegraphic communications have been interrupted and several sections in that region have been completely isolated for more than a week. As English law now stands, a man may marry his dead wife's sister, but a woman cannot wed her dead husband's brother. The point was made clear by the presiding judge at the Northampton Assizes the other day in the case of two women who went through the marriage service with brothers of their dead husbands. Both were held for trial. SPORT Lew Tendler defeated Joe Welting of Chicago in a hard six-round fight at Shibe Park in Philadelphia. Harry Greb, Pittsburg, and Battling Levinsky, Philadelphia, fought a six-round draw at Philadelphia. Joe Tiplitz, Philadelphia, knocked out George Chaney, Baltimore, in the third round at Philadelphia. Ted (Kid) Lewis, former welterweight champion, had the better of a six-round bout with Steve Latzo of Hazelton, Pa. GENERAL Using an iron wedge, Robert Seifert, 26, bent his mother, 56, to death at Alix, Ark. The woman's skull was crushed. The cause of the crime has not been learned. Seifert is in jail. A Zeppelin freight and passenger transatlantic service to start about Oct. 18, between New York and Hamburg, with Boston, Chicago, Berlin and Duesseldorf as ports of call, was announced in advertisements in German language newspapers and one American trade paper published in New York. A masked burglar was shot and killed by Prof. Benjamin Franklin Shapelle, head of the department of romance languages of the summer school of the University of Pennsylvania, in a fraternity house at Philadelphia. The burglar was shot after he threatened death to Prof. Shapelle and others living in the fraternity building. Mrs. Vera Trepagnier, 60 years old, a widow of New Orleans, on trial in the Criminal Court in Chicago, charged with the murder of Paul Frederick Volard, a publisher, was found guilty of manslaughter. In 1918 automobile manufacturers paid a total of $33,000,000 in taxes to the federal government. In the same period car owners paid $50,000,000 in motor registration fees to the states. Total automobile taxes, including the personal property, local charges, etc., for the year are estimated at $150,000,000. The charges will reach $200,000,000 in 1919. All of these are paid by car owners in the last analysis, making a total charge of $25 per car for 1918. The presidential ship George Washington, which sails back to France, has been fitted up with a nursery to take care of the "war babies" returning on that vessel. Two hundred "war brides" are scheduled to sail on the transport on her next trip from France to this country and, at the request of Dr. G. A. Ricker, the ship's surgeon, the American Red Cross has provided the ship with baby food, milk, clothing and other prerequisites of infantile comfort. Savannah, Ga., was selected as the convention city for the twenty-ninth triennial convention for the Brotherhood of Locomotive Frigmen and Enginemen at their session in Denver. The twenty-ninth convention will be held in May, 1922. Without announcing the platform up on which he will go before the people of Nassau county as a candidate for the State Assembly, Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt accepted the Republic's nomination in a brief address to the Republican town committees of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay.

TO SIN by silence when we should protest, makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. May we learn the lesson the foregoing is intended to convey, and keep up our protests against wrong to our senators and congressmen until it stirs them to the core, actually making their duties to us and our country so obligatory that they necessarily become agents for the dissemination of TRUE DEMOCRACY and promulgators of an American liberty that will not only merit the commendation of the world, but cause this country to be a habitation for all races and peoples who feel the time has come for the common acceptance of man by his fellow man. A bond of unity springing up in the world that will bring about the fulfillment of the Creator's purpose when he gave man the power and invested him with the authority to have dominion over the lower creation, must result in the harmony that will establish a just peace satisfactory to the world. TRAMWAY QUESTION WILL SOON BE PERMANENTLY SETTLED. WE ARE glad to announce that a settlement of the unfortunate Tramway issue will soon be brought about. Mayor Bailey, on behalf of the citizens of Denver, and Mr. Claude Boettcher, head of the Tramway company, have struck an "armistice"—the 5-cent fare to be in operation for ten days from last week (Friday), when by an ordinance of the city council the 6-cent fare will be restored, and at the end of four months at a special election the public will give the final decision by their votes. Corporations have their demands, their obligations as well as private individuals, and when we take into consideration what is being done for improvement, etc., by them it is only fair that matters affecting them seriously should be quickly adjusted by the people. Whatever is the result of the special election, we believe that both city and Tramway will be satisfied and act accordingly. Let us remember business is not built up in a day. We must prepare to give and take. PRESIDENT WILSON'S MESSAGE TO THE NATION. WHAT may be termed the President's speech to the Senate is virtually his message to the nation, as the people's representatives must give their "yea" or "nay" to everything in the form of contract with the nation, whether the business is local or foreign. On Thursday of last week President Wilson laid before the Senate the peace treaty with its League of Nations covenant between Germany and the nations which opposed her in the war. He gave an account of his part in the negotiations at Versailles, in his representing the American people. The President declared that the league was born of the convictions of practical statesmen that an international concert had become a world necessity to end the old order and guarantee civilization. He informed them also that in this concert the world looked confidently to America for leadership and added that while the treaty might not be exactly as the American delegation would have written it, no vital principle had been sacrificed by the necessary compromises. The political situation filled a very conspicuous role as the Senate divided in applause on the one hand—the Democrats—and criticism on the other hand—the Republicans—and this is where the bitterness of the fight begins. Republican senators have not forgotten Mr. Wilson's action by his communication to his party when he asked the people of America to return him Democrats in the majority to the Congress as the Republicans, though pro-war were anti-administration, and this being fresh in their minds, having occurred just last November, would make them apprehensive over the President's action in his championing of the League of Nations covenant, as to the real righteousness of his policy in the history-making period of his political party. If this covenant will bring the peace that the world would gladly welcome, we would be among the first to support the American delegation and advocate the ratification of the covenant without delay, but comprising that part of the American population who has always been abused, and is the victim of the most inhuman treatment met out to any people in the world, we cannot conscientiously welcome a covenant in which the darker races of the world and especially our own country are excluded. Some of the practical statesmen like our Southern senators entertaining the pro-slavish ideas, are asking us to wait for "a bloodless revolution" and things will adjust themselves, but realizing that the harder we try the great opposition as by the series of lawless occurrences in the U. S. A., which is not confined to the South alone, we are wondering whether the League of Nations covenant will be profitable or unprofitable. We pray it will be the former, but from our experience of post-war actions in our great U. S. A. and the skilled action in keeping the other dark races of the world divided we do not see up to the present that the League covenant will be universally beneficial, unless man opens his heart to his fellow man in a pure, true and honest fellowship ratifying PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN. A Quiet, Bloodless Struggle Against Waste and All Extravagance A Quiet, Bloodless Struggle Against Waste and All Extravagance BY MEMBER OF CENTRAL COMMITTEE, AMERICAN RED CROSS Peace has its patriots as well as war. Peace-time patriotism at present means carrying on for our country a quiet, bloodless struggle against waste and all kinds of extravagance. It means saving first and spending afterwards. CLINEDINTT The typical American will be quick to see that "there is a lot" for his own personal good in the thrift idea. He knows that every material possession in life, every kind of training, and almost every kind of advancement takes money. As a janitor, who by steady industry and economy had acquired a substantial bank account, said to me the other day: "Money might not be everything in life, but when my wife was desperately ill and it took about six hundred dollars to pay for doctors and nurses to save her life, it was a mighty comfortable thing to have, I can tell you." There are many men I know who would have had to go into debt under that sudden financial strain. While saving for a rainy day is indeed necessary to comfort, saving for a sunny opportunity is a much more joyous proposition. And the government has devised an exceedingly easy and fascinating way of doing this through Thrift stamps and War Savings stamps. For the young student who yearns for a college education, for the business man or woman who looks forward to a real vacation some day, for the couple who are planning to beautify the home, for the millions of individuals who hope to do this or that when some extra money is available, there are many ways of converting small change, which formerly slipped out of sight, into 25-cent Thrift stamps, which in turn are convertible into War Savings stamps paying 4 per cent interest compounded quarterly. The consistent investment of small sums that are never missed from the pocketbook roll up into an amazing total. For instance $1 per week invested at the interest paid on War Savings stamps for 25 years gives the investor a capital of $2,227.28. And once the thrift habit is established opportunities are easily found for the investment of sums additional to the scheduled savings. This is the philosophy of the "Save first—spend afterward" slogan. All the foregoing seems to relate only to personal gain, but it ties up definitely with the nation's welfare. The pooling of the hundreds of millions of dollars which we can profitably invest in government securities (of which the tax-exempt War Savings stamp is the best-paying) releases just that many hundred million dollars to the speeding up of industry and production. Furthermore the growth of thrift as a national habit will inevitably tend to the better husbanding of our natural resources, the reckless waste of which has been one of the most shameful chapters of our history. These greatly increased potentialities in the production of the necessaries and conservation of resources cannot but tend to a broader and sounder prosperity. By each one doing his bit for sensible economy there will result such an accumulation and development of resources as to keep the United States far and away the most prosperous and leading nation of the world. Peacetime patriotism calls for every American to put his shoulder to the great wheel of national success. In place of war's "They shall not pass," the slogan of peace is, "Save first—spend afterward." Mabel V. Boardman . Europe Must Get to Work if It Is to Be Saved, but It Must Be Helped By FRANK A. VANDERLIP, New York Banker There are forces of destruction which might be let loose as a result of after-war conditions that would be more fearful than the great war itself. These are starvation, idle industry, crippled transportation, paralyzed markets, injured morale, shattered government credits. Europe is but a great factory community, dependent in the main on world trade for much of its food and raw materials. There are only three ways in which they can pay for these things—by export of goods, by export of gold or by export of their credit. None of these nations can export goods at present, and they have no gold to spare. They must have credit. Europe must get to work if it is to be saved, but it must be helped even to start to work. America must be made to see the facts in their true relation and consequences, for America is almost the sole hope. If America will understand the situation and do her duty she is amply able to give the necessary aid. This aid must be given in a big-spirited, scientific way. It is useless to give it in grudging measure or piecemeal to a few countries. We must regard the European situation as a unit. Coupled with its duty America is face to face with its greatest opportunity. If the opportunity is grasped America will become the source of capital for world development and the greatest source of raw material for the world's industry. Koreans Are Fish in a Red-Hot Frying-Pan, With the Jap as the Cook By PYONG K. YOON, Korean National Association To make the long story very short, I compare the situation of the Koreans in Korea at the present to that of a bunch of live fishes in a red-hot frying pan, with the Jap as the cook. God help us! The Japanese unbearable oppression, tyranny and torture of the Koreans beyond endurable limits during the last fifteen years has driven the Koreans to the verge of starvation, and when the Koreans rise up to protest the Japs' tyranny and robbery the Japanese massacre the Koreans with bayonets, swords and guns, as at present, and term the Korean patriots "mobs," "bandits," etc. Say what they may, but we Koreans are determined to regain our freedom, our country, our independence from Japan. --- THE COLORADO STATESMAN --- The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West --- ARELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.

The initial appearance of a needed utility in a community is always cordially welcomed. It is recognized not only } as filling a decided want, but also as an evidence of the growth and development and prosperity of the community. So long as appreciation of the utility finds expression in the public’s willingness to grant to the enterprise revenues adequate to meet its honest requirements under efficient management, so long will the utility be able to serve the public satisfactorily. But there must be mutual understanding and mutual confidence. Neither a public nor a private enterprise can build permanent success upon revenues derived from a public that has no faith in nor respect for the institution. The utility’s obligation is to serve; the public’s obligation is to create such conditions as will make it possible for the utility to serve. The Telephone Company is subject to the same economic laws and principles as those governing other industries. The permanency and adequacy of telephone service depend upon the same factors as are involved in the security and permanency of every other established industry. Mutual understanding of each other’s needs and mutual willingness ? to supply such needs will insure adequate and efficient service to the j public and financial security to the Company.

BUDAPEST IN DISORDER GENERAL CRISIS LOOMS AMONG SOVIETS AS DESERTING Paris, July 18—Bela Kun, head of the Hungarian communist government, has been ousted, according to dispatches from reliable sources in Vienna received by the peace conference. Troops returning from the Czech front were reported entering Budapest in large numbers. Budapest was in disorder. Herr Boehm and Herr Lander have taken over control of the communist government. Bela Kun was reported in a Budapest dispatch to have broken off with nearly all the Socialist leaders. Officers of the soviet army were said to be deserting at every opportunity. The communist leader was quoted as having said he was tired of trying to ride Socialist and communist horses at the same time. Herr Boehm, commander of the Hungarian armies, was reported in prison, in a dispatch from Vienna, which also stated Bela Kun was seeking some excuse to leave Hungary and that he would not return. Bela Kun assumed the post of minister of foreign affairs in the Hungarian soviet government which succeeded the Republican government set up by Count Karolyi. He took office in March, 1919, and immediately got in touch with the heads of the Russian soviet government. The council of five at Paris July 5 reached the conclusion, it was stated, that it was impossible to make peace with Bela Kun's government. Consequently it was considered necessary to maintain the blockade. Recent events in Budapest have pressed trouble. An attack was recently made on the soviet headquarters by three monitors in the Danube, aided by land forces. As a result, forty youths from the Budapest military academy and three officers were hanged. London.—The German government is believed to be trying to establish trade relations with soviet Russia and a German mission has visited Russia or is about to do so, Cecil B. Harmsworth, under-secretary of state for foreign affairs, told the House of Commons here. Mr. Harmsworth said he had no exact information on the matter, but stated: "I believe it to be the case that the German government is endeavoring to enter into trade relations with soviet Russia and that a German industrial and commercial mission has visited or is about to visit soviet Russia." Ban On Luxuries. Washington.—To protect British exchange in America and other countries where the balance of trade is against England, the British government, in addition to maintaining on the proscribed list of imports a good many articles, has found it advisable to require special licenses in some cases with the purpose of reducing the expenditure on British money for luxuries. Meat in Storage. Chicago, ill.—In a report issued officials of the Illinois department of agriculture declare that enormous quantities of meats, butter and eggs are now in storage in Chicago warehouses chiefly under control of the big five packers. According to the report the following quantities are at present stored in Chicago: Beef, 85,971,000 pounds; pork, 70,517,000 pounds; butter, 7,893,000 pounds; eggs, 1,280,000 cases or 360,000,000 dozen. The figures in the report will be used by District Attorney Clyne in the federal government's inquiry into the high cost of food products in Chicago. Bandits Get Booze Jackson, Minn.—Francis L. West, a wealthy farmer living nine miles south of Windom, drove to Jackson and told the county officials that nine bandits in two automobiles had raided his home while he was away and looted his cellar of 150 cases of liquor valued at $6,000. West has offered rewards for the arrest of the men and the return of "what is left" of his property. Italy's Request Refused. Paris.—The interallied council refused Italy's request that Austrian concessions at Tien Tsin, China be transferred to her. There are no American consuls in German ports at yet, British, French and other European consuls are already clearing ships. The American relief administration has cleared in German ports two food supply ships and one with cotton, but Director General Hoover refuses to issue papers to additional ships without legal authority. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS County agricultural agents and farm bureau leaders from all the irrigated counties of northern Colorado will meet in Greeley, July 21, 22 and 23, for their annual convention. County agents and delegates will be there from Logan, Morgan, Adams, Boulder and Larimer as well as of Weld county. The farm bureau programs will be reviewed and plans made for fall and winter work. Several motor trips will be made through the farming districts of Weld county by the visitors. Denver sites for a new tubercular hospital to be erected by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen will be inspected by a committee consisting of the general secretary and treasurer, the international president and the general medical adviser of the organization, according to plans announced in Denver. The brotherhood voted to contribute $75 a month to support of members afflicted with tuberculosis until the hospital project materializes. The city of Greeley is to increase the storage capacity of its reservoirs 50 per cent by raising the walls of the twin basins five feet. The city's water supply is brought through a forty-mile pipe line from a diversion dam situated in the Poudre cafion, sixteen miles west of Fort Collins. The local reservoirs hold 10,000,000 gallons and the rapidly growing city consumes nearly 3,500,000 gallons a day. The rebuilt reservoirs will hold slightly more than 15,000,000 gallons. The 1,200 doctors, dentists and druggists of Colorado and Wyoming who have not yet met their narcotic return to the department of internal revenue must do so immediately, according to C. O'B. Berry, chief field deputy of the department. After the expiration of the time limit, July 30, any doctor registering prescriptions or any pharmacist filling them who has not complied with the law will be liable to five years in the penitentiary and a fine of $2,000. he said. Costilla is the latest Colorado county to ask the federal bureau of public roads for approval of a road construction project under the federal aid plan, estimates and specifications having been submitted for building six and six-tenths miles of natural gravel and dirt road between Fort Garland and San Luis. The project, listed as federal aid project No. 24, is largely a drainage and grading undertaking. The estimated cost is $20,303. The city council at Greeley has appropriated $100 toward a rat extermination campaign which has been started. The rodents are said to do $10,000 worth of damage every year. Many public spirited citizens and business men have signified their willingness to aid in this campaign by offering prizes for the largest number of rats killed by any one person. The Boy Scouts have entered the movement and are doing efficient work. The largest revenues in the history of the local postoffice are announced for the fiscal year just closed, the amount reaching a total of $2,190,231.18. This is an increase of $162,628.75 over the preceding year, and C. F. Trotter, assistant postmaster, asserts that the 3-cent postage rate was not wholly responsible for the increase. The receipts for the quarter ending June 30 were $563,679.28. Three convicted murderers at the penitentiary are awaiting execution. They are Cruz Romero, No. 10,660; Clifford Sproul, No. 10,671, and George Bosko, No. 10,740. The two former are under sentence to be hung during the week beginning July 20. Bosko will not be hung until some time in September. The body of David Lewis, former Grand Junction man, but more recently a switchman on the Green river division, with headquarters at Green River, Utah, was found in the river near that place. He was drowned while in swimming. Colorado will entertain 135 prominent New Yorkers, members of a special excursion of the Department of the Interior and the Brooklyn Eagle July 21, 22, 23 and 24. The party will pass the first day in Colorado Springs, the second in Denver, the third in Estes Park and the fourth in Fort Collins on its way to Yellowstone and Glacier National parks and the Pacific Northwest. W. L. Dayton of Denver was elected president of the Colorado Bar Association at the annual meeting held at Colorado Springs. C. A. Ballreich of Pueblo was chosen first vice president and John L. Brennan of Colorado Springs was elected second vice president. W. W. Grant of Denver was elected secretary and treasurer and W. D. Todd of Denver was named his assistant. John McCoy, 19 years old, was electrocuted in the Jessee mine, two miles from Breckenridge. He was discovered in an unconscious condition by one of his fellow workmen, who ran over the mountains to town for a physician. A 440-volt fire was found on his head and his hands were badly burned. A suitable appropriation for the development of the Rocky Mountain National park will be made by Congress at the next regular session. Positive assurance to this effect has been given Representative Vaile by Representative J. W. Good of Iowa, chairman of the committee on appropriations. Every cent of the $20,000 appropriated by Congress for the United States mint at Denver will be spent to improve the mint's sweep cellar, according to Thomas Annear, superintend ent. MAY BE PHOENICIAN COINS Recent Discovery Made in California Has Given Archeologists Some Food for Thought. Examination by Prof. Oliver M. Washburn of six coins discovered in a canyon of the foothills back of Berkeley, Cal., and described by him as being of undoubted antiquity, has stimulated the belief of archeologists that the ruins of an ancient city exist in that locality. Antiquarians of the University of California, where Professor Washburn is assistant in the department of classical archeology, favor making excavations in an effort to determine the existence of important evidence as to the early history of this continent. The coins were discovered by Chester K. Frost, an Oakland shipbuilder. While on a trip he was digging in the canyon when he uncovered a misshapen copper coin. He prosecuted his work and was rewarded with five pieces of copper, unquestionably minted by hand, according to Professor Washburn, and containing inscriptions in Greek and Latin. Two of the coins are blackened beyond recognition by the action of the elements, but through their irregular shape and general minting are described as antedating the oldest known Roman coins. The coins are faintly embossed with the facial contours of divinities or legendaries in tempered copper. Coin experts advance the opinion that the material used fixes a remote period of manufacture, because tempered copper in coin manufacture is more or less a forgotten art. One of the coins is about the size of a dime and bears certain resemblances to early Phoenician money, which bore the characteristic embossing of a woman's head. One version advanced is that the Berkeley coins were brought to the California coast by Phoenician colonists who preceded the early padres to the bay district. What He Missed. My wedding was not far in the past and I was giving a dinner party for several bachelor friends of my husband's. I was especially anxious for things to run smoothly, as one of the party was somewhat of an "old flame," and I wanted him to see just what a wonderful housekeeper he had missed. The maid was new, so to be perfectly sure that all would go well I ordered the dinner in complete detail the previous evening. In bringing in the soup the maid spilled a serving on the very man that I was planning to impress. When the meat course came on there was an absence of potatoes, and on asking for them I was informed that we were out of potatoes and she had forgotten to order them. Needless to say that my face did not need the aid of any drug store for sufficient coloring, while the face of the young man in question reflected. I thought, positive relief that he had escaped such extreme lack of management.—Chicago Tribune. Grex Victim of III Fortune Sir Edward Grey, former foreign secretary, now Viscount Grey of Falloden, is preparing a volume of memoirs. He has grown almost totally blind, and is learning all over again how to read by the sense of touch. Fate has brought tragedy into sir Edward Grey's life. He was deeply devoted to his wife, a companion to him in his fishing trips and other outdoor excursions. She was injured in a runaway accident in 1905 and died. Always of a retiring disposition, the former secretary became more so under the poignancy of this domestic tragedy. A short time before the war a brother was killed by a lion in Africa. In the early days of the war his nephew, who would have become heir to the title of viscount, which was conferred on him when governmental changes saw him depart from the foreign office, was killed. The title, therefore, may lapse with the death of the first viscount. Grey, himself, for he has no children. Secrets Betrayed in Sleep. "It is much more usual for people to swear than to sing hymns in their sleep," says Dr. E. Coplans in a letter to the British Medical Journal. Doctor Coplans has been a patient in a military hospital. "The percentage of talkers is astonishing; 60 per cent of the men in my ward indulged in it. The maximum period is from 12 to 2 a. m. Often a sentence is begun clearly, but trails off in a blur. One patient, a by-nome pious Scotsman, startled me at 1:20 by singing in a stentorian voice. 'Abide With Me.'

According to a report recently made by the director of the bureau of forestry, the raw materials available such as the bamboo and two kinds of grasses, the cogon and talahib, are of such good quality and can be so chenply obtained that if careful study is given this industry the islands will not need to import annually $2,000,000 worth of paper, as heretofore.

DISHES FOR HOT DAYS. The delicatessen stores are of great help to the business woman who has no time for cooking and can afford to pay the extra price demanded for ready-to-eat food. For the housewife however, such food is not economical to buy except on ing and can afford to pay the extra price demanded for ready-to-eat food. For the housewife, however, such food is not economical to buy except on occasions when a quick meal may be prepared after an afternoon's outing. The cost of the dishes when prepared at home will be found to be much less, as odds and ends will make these appetizing croquettes, deviled crabs, and potato salads. Further one has the assurance that the food is fresh and wholesome. All the advantages of the delicatessen food is offset by the possibility of a case of ptomaine poisoning, as in many stores perishable foods are not iced and will spoil in a short time. Many women have the idea that home prepared foods cannot be reheated which is no doubt the reason that croquettes, fish cakes, breaded chops and such dishes are so often purchased, rather than made at home. The following recipes will help the woman who wishes the delicatessen flavors without the price. These dishes may be prepared in the early morning to reheat at dinner time. Ham Loaf.—This may be prepared from the bits of a leftover boiled ham or from a slice of broiled ham. Take three cupfuls of finely minced ham, one small onion also minced, three sprigs of parsley, one tablespoonful of prepared mustard and two eggs. Put the ham, onion and parsley through the meat grinder, add the eggs and mustard, beating the eggs and mixing all the ingredients until well blended, adding salt and pepper to taste. Pack into a well greased bread pan and bake in a moderate oven for forty-five minutes. Serve hot or cold. Garnish with chopped egg white and serve in green pepper cups with tomato jelly. Chicken or Ham Croquettes.—Melt four tablespoonfuls of butter or any sweet fat, add five tablespoonfuls of flour and when blended add three-quarters of a cup of milk gradually and cook until thick; then add one cupful of chicken or ham finely minced and one egg yolk and seasoning of salt and pepper, one teaspoonful of lemon juice with a little celery salt. Form into croquettes when cool. Beat the egg white, add a quarter of a cup of water, roll in crumbs and egg and let stand to become firm. Brown in hot fat. Reheat in a pan well covered in a hot oven twelve minutes. We are like little children in our poor unreason. As we reach after joys That at best can please but for a season, And then are broken toys. —Ella W. Wilcox. SUMMER FRUITS, FLOWERS AND ICES. Served on a porch or in the garden away from the dainty appointments of a luncheon table, the individual serving of ices and fruit should present a picture in itself. One may carry out some color scheme, using a flower or natural or candied fruits. WINE Cherry Roll-Use small baking powder cans for packing. Add a spoonful of cherry water ice and pistachio ice cream in alternate spoonfuls in the cans. Chopped cherries are used in the cherry ice. Serve cut in slices and garnish with fresh cherries and foliage. Strawberry Delight-Serve strawberry ice cream on well-washed and dried strawberry leaves and garnish with a spray of the wild berries ripe and green. If served in sherbet cups the leaves may serve as a dolly. Blossom Mousse.—Make an angel cake basket, frosted on the outside with boiled frosting and decorated in lattice strips with angelica, the handle also of angelica. Fill with raspberry mousse and garnish with candy rose buds or fresh raspberries. A few are used as decoration for the top of the cake. The cake is baked in a circular pan and then cut out to form a basket. Poached Peach.—Lay a canned peach on a round of sponge cake and surround with a meringue flavored with orange and delicately browned. Garnish with custard sauce and pecans or slices of fruit. Watermelon Cup. — Cut with a French potato cutter enough balls to fill sheerb glasses from the pink flesh of the watermelon. Marinate them in a sirup which is flavored with chopped, crystallized ginger and fresh pineapple, with a few large seeded raisins. Serve in glasses with pineapple sheerb; garnish with strips of ginger and large raisins. Canteloupe Cones.—Scoop out the cones with an ice cream dipper and arrange them on a platter with vanilla ice cream and garnish with nasturtium leaves and flowers.

The new weaves in silk have Intrigued them Into beautiful ex- iravagances, and other unusual fabries fave lent them originality. All sorts pt materials, from leather to cricket flannel, with a company of sturdy woolens forming their main depend- ence, Invite designers to become inde- pendent. Cleverness Is at a premium, nothing 1s considered erratic and there tre sports clothes and sports clothes; gome of them for actual sports wear and some of them merely versions of sport styles.

One of the new, short slip-on models occu- ples the center in the group of three Sports costumes pictured here, This {s a very popular model and is made t takes considerable discrimination to choose suits for girls who are not quite grown up or for those who are grown, but still In thelr teens. It Is not half so simple a matter as it ‘seems, to express youth by varying the cut and finish of garments just enough to take them out of the young woman class and place them in the young girl company. Generally, 1p sults, this 1s accomplished by making oats vague as to fit and simple as to Mne and by following current fashions, ns becomes youth, at a distance. The two sults presented In the picture are examples of good designing to meet the needs of the miss from fourteen to nineteen, and they are recommend- ed for young women who affect youth- ful styles, providing their figures are girlish enough to sult these models, Jersey cloth, serge, duyetyn or any of the standard sultings will make the smart suit shown at the left of the {picture successfully, but the firmer weaves appear to be the best choice ffor misses’ sults. This one Is of belge colored serge trimmed with rows of narrow silk braid to match and insets of navy blue taffeta. The skirt 1s no- ticeably wider than those In vogue for older women and is gathered in at the waistline. Five short bands of bratd fp rows at each side simulate pockets ‘The coat in this sult hangs from the shoulders {n lines that are straight in many gay and brilliant colors, At the left of the picture a very handsome sult reveals a plalted skirt of silk in which a plain satin stripe and a crepe stripe alternate, the satin stripe In white and the other in light green. The jacket, of white taffeta, has a quilted pattern on the collar and cuffs, and forming a border at the bot- tom, having the stitching done in green silk thread, Stitehing covers the nar row belt and defines the pocket, prov- ing a very original and beautiful em- bellishment. Roshunara crepe makes the unusual dress ut the right of the picture. It has a straight panel at the back but achieves the effect of a loose cut-away coat at the front, with flaring sleeves that are split up the back. Crepe georgette is used In facings that ex- tend beyond the edges of the sleeves and cout drapery. It took audacity to add a sash of the same material as the dress, to this design, but It Is here and vindicates Its presence by finish- ing perfectly a smart and comfortable ‘sports dress.

In this particular sult a deep cape collar replaces the small turnover that 1s so youthful, worn with a tle of silk, for the young- er girls, But a smaller collar would not admit an Inlay of taffeta such as finishes this one. ‘The braid on the sleeves 1s put on In rows but not in straight lines and a curved inset of taffeta Is placed above it. ‘The sleeves are especially good. Dark blue serge makes the chic sult with bloused cont, at the right of the picture. Narrow braid in two rows finishes the collar, the sleeves, and the skirt of the blouse. Silk cord and round buttons account for the fas- tenting In the best way and form a fin- tsh for tho close-fitting sleeves.

RAY BAKER i or spies in this tale, which concerns an event that happened in a littl: backwoods town in Tlinois six taonths after the armistice wus signed. ‘The war Is dragged in because {t explains the advantage acquired by | Herbert Drew over Gilbert Post In the battle for the love of Marguerite Ho- bart. When the truce, moved the lever that changed the current of troops crossing the Atlantic westward in- stead of eastward, Herbert loomed up in his home town one sunny, bird- chirping spring day wearing an over- seas cap on one side of his head ant “prown bandages” on his legs, with « gold chevron on his sleeve; while Gil- bert put in his appearance on a driz- zly, dreary duy a short time later with just a hat and leggings covering respectively his toussled yellow hatr and his nether limbs, and a splash of cfiver on his arm to denote he had veen in service “over there.” ‘They were drafted in the same con- loners and they went to Camp Grant together. At that time Gilbert had the inside track with Marguerite, ant | thelr engagement was generally con- | sidered a certeinty for the near fu- ture. Gilbert was not so attractive us Herbert, who was a pronounced brunette, but Marguerite felt a much deeper affection for him, because she thought she fathomed finer qualities Jof character in hit, and because— | well, just because, So it was a losing fight for Private Drew before he went to camp, but shortly after he began his military | raining his luck changed. Naturally, Marguerite could not decline to an- swer his letters, for she had to “do her bit” for the soldiers, and he con- tinued his wooing by mall. In this there was some advantage for him, because he was a good corre- | spondent, while Gilbert was more or jiess of a failure along those lines. The big change in his fortune, how- | ever, was when he was ordered over- | seas, while Gilbert was relegated to | the depot brigade. | So Herbert Drew came back home a hero, while Gilbert Post was just # soldier, with no more glamour about | him than that afforded by his uni- form, and that did not last long, for ne shed his khaki for “civies” as soon us he could procure store elothes. ‘lerbert on the other hand, con- | tinued to wear his uniform, and it certainly did add to his prestige. Tales of his bravery In action wer* published in the local weekly and hat drew a more brilltant glare about |om. | Marguerite, being a human girl, | couid not resist these things, and ole | most before she herself could realize lit she was considering Herbert her | accepted suitor and Gilbert in the | has-been lass. | Gilbert plugged along at his work b the flour mill, where he had a job eae paid well for a town of that size. He knew he was losing out | with Marguerite, for he realized what the chances were with a gold chevroo against a silver one. Both the young men continued , to ‘all on Marguerite, but Gilbert bad | been cut down to once a week, while | he was aware that Herbert was at the | Hobart home at least every other night. Then, her manner of treating | him was different. She was still very triendly and tried to entertain him | pleasantly, but he knew the old spirit | of comradeship that had once existed | was lacking, while the still deeper | feeling that had made ‘itself evident | on some oceasions before that fateful conscription act went Into effect was | pesnery conspicuous by not being | here any more at ull. Gilbert made the good fight, but gradually it became manifest to him that it was a losing fight. Finally things came to a climax one night, || because he felt that he could not keep | silent any longer but just had to know || where he stood, on sand or rock. | “How is it, Marguerite?” he asked, as he was preparing to leave, after | ais weekly call. “Are you just toler- | ating me? Is thet the way things )) stand?” 7 She looked down at the toe of her | shoe and wiggled it a few times, }| watching it intently, as tf it were something she never before knew she :| possessed and was very curlous con- }| cerning its functions. | “Well, no,” she sald, after a few ,| seconds’ thought. “I can’t say it’s Just 1 that way. I like you very much, Gil- -| bert; but I have realized for sore -| time that things are not just the way 1) they used to be.” t| “It's—it’s Herbert Drew, of course,” Gilbert ventured, looking out the win- dow and pondering how dark !t was— not just that part of the world within his view, but the whole universe eee eer. ait ee eames ferent somehow since he’s heen aes He's a different mun now, after gu tng through all those terrible expert »nees, You ought to sec his eyes line when he tells how he went over the top and— Of course, you don't care to hear about those things, You didn't bave to go through then.” Gilbert smiled dryly. No, he hadn't bud to go through them; but he sin- cerely wished he hud been given the opportunity. “Then there fsn't any chance for me?” he asked, placing his hand on the knob of the door, preparing to step out into the dark world, Tears started in her eyes. “Pm—lm afraid not, Gil I'm 80 sorry, but I can't help It beeause I've chunged, I belleve, though, yon had better stop coming to see me. You see, Herbert and I—we sre thinklag rather seriously—”" “I understand,” he said, with a queer little catch in his voice, and he went out into the black night, where all the stars were hidden hy somber clouds, It was two days Inter that the vil- lage was aroused from its customary lethargy by a sensational event—the third that had occurred since the town was founded or discovered, or what- ever it was that gave it birth, The first was the burning of the town hall in 1901 and the second was the robbery of Sam Hankins’ henhouse only a year ago. Tais third sensa- tional event was the near drowning ‘of Bobby Hobart. ‘The news was passed around town as if on electrified waves. It was shouted across back yards by house- vives and along the streets by men and children, As a result housework, fusiness and playing soldier were aLandoned, and the village flocked to the channel down at the flour mill, The channel branched from the river und took care of the water power for the plant. Into that channel Bobby Hobart had fallen while playing on the edge with Willie Nobscott. The latter had gone screaming from the scene. Two or three men who heard his frenzied shrieks managed to glean some idea of what had happened and they hurried to the place where the accident had occurred. They were just In time to see a bedraggled figure climb out of the channel with Bobby In its arms. ‘The child was pretty far gone, but the work of resuscitation finally bore fruit and the lad began to breathe and splut- ter, and opened his eyes; and then every one—the crowd had begun to col- lect—sighed deeply and looked around for the rescuer. ‘The rescuer was in a bad way, for the water was cold. ‘The young man’s teeth chattered and he was in a ver itable convulsion of shivering. Marguerite Hobart came hurrying to the scene, dnd finding Bobby was safe and wrapped in warm blankets, and already on the way to his home, she took {t upon herself to look after the rescuer. “Put him in our car and we'll take him to our home,” she told one of the men. “It’s too far to his own home out In the country. I'm afrald of pneu- monia.” A short time later the young map who had saved her brother lay in sleep In the guest room of the Hobart resl- dence, while Marguerite sat beside the bed. “Poor Gil," she said, stroking his brow, although the doctor had not sug- gested a message. Gilbert did not re- ply to her remarks, but she talked on. “I've learned who the real hero Is. Maybe Herbert Drew fought Germans in the Argonne, but I'm not so sure. What I do know fs that he saw Bobby fall In the channel, and that, instead of leaping in to save him, as you did, he ran to find a rope to throw to brother, ‘There were some heroes who stayed In camp, GIL.” At this second mention of his name Gilbert opened his eyes, and a glad look overspread his face, and when he looked out the window the world was sunshiny and smiling again. ne Ee a Te we a J.
