There Is no better agricultural section
In Colorado than the zone Of the new

hydro-carbon deposits in the world,
now being hauled by wagon upwards
of 100 miles to the nearest railroad

Denver July 14.-Denver has the
highest average wage in Its manufac-

the United States. This fact was
made known to the Colorado Press

from the census to show that in all
cities OF 100000 population and over
the average wage is lower than in
Denver.
The census gives 1926 persons as
working in manufacturing Industries
III this city, and the aggregate sum
paid yearly, S6.S24. .O03 This gives an
average yearly wage of S62J. San

THE ART OF WAR,
what NJ. de Bloch Failed to See, Ac
cOrdfnE to One Critic. ~

cOrdtnE to One Critic.
From the London Times.
1t was thought by VI. de Bloch that the
costliness, the destructiveness and the
deadliness of modern war must render wars
impossible. These things undoubtedly tend
to render wars more rare, just as excessive
cost of litigation tends to make people less
eager to take their quarrels into court
What NJ. de Bloch failed to see is that the
effect he approved would not outIast its
cause. A nation will not be lightly at
tackled SO long as it is known that the at
tack, even if ultimately successful, will cost
enormously In blood and treasure. But the
moment that the attack seems easy owing
ness In providing itself with the newest and
most deadly weapons, the motive for eau
tion disappears and war will be declared
against it upon very slender grounds. Ii.
in addition to it's unpreparedness, 1t Is in
possession of great wealth, the acquisition
OF which will fully recoup the outlay of
war. it's case is all the more perilous.
Modern science enables even q small and
poor nation to make itself fit to infiict upon
an assaiiant more injury than it's piunder
can ever be worth. If every nation takes
care to make the risks and certain losses
of an attack fully commensurate with the
advantages which would be secured by its
defeat wars will be comparatively rare oc-
currences. Otherwise they will be lightly
undertaken, just as in former times Thus
the avoidance of actual war depends upon
constant preparation for war, or more gem
orally the display of force in a particular
direction is not to be prevented by ignoring
force, but by maintaining the balance of
forces. Benevolent people like NJ de Bloch
who see the forces in eauilibrio are often
struck with the happy thought of keeping
them so by arbitration. They do rot see
that arbitration succeeds il 1t does s,,e.
eeed. only because the forces are in euui-
ltbrio. and because the dispute In question
is not important enough to tempt either
loss.
: Peace, no less than war, Is the resultant
OF opposing forces. The nation that does
not make and keep the cost and risk of at
lacking u at least commensurate with all
that successful attack could give it's rivals
can In the long run save itself from attack
only by handing over it's possessions with
out struggle.
