full capacity Of the pumping facilities.
The pressure has dropped only to
eighty-five pounds per square inch.
The number of gallons pumped
amounted to 43,3Gs 900, and 5,429, 900
gallons were allowed to flow through

BRITAIN NEEDS
LARGER ARMY
LORD ROBERTS SAYS GERMANY
COULD EASILY LAND TROOPS
IN ENGLAND,
MIGHT EVADE FLEET
FEARS LOSS OF NAVAL SUPRE.
MACY BECAUSE OF ARMY
WEAKNESS.

Misunderstanding in the house Of
lords, Field Marshal Lord Roberts ex
pressed the conviction that the lack
Of a military force sufficient to make
hopeless the attempt of an invasion
would in all probability be the cause
of loss of Great Britain's supremacy
at sea.
In a studied speech he pointed out
the comparative ease with which Ger.
many could land an army on the
shores of England.
Under present conditions England
would be forced, he said, to submit to
most humiliating demands
He disclaimed all hostility to or fear
Of Germany; but he declared that the
defense of the islands required imme-
diate attention. There should be an
army so strong in numbers and eff
cient in quality that the most formida-
BILE of foreign nations would hesitate
to make landing in England.
Lord Roberts said he had ascer-
tained that vessels capable of accom-
modating 100000 men always were
available in the northern ports of Ger
many and that as result of the new
German service law 100000 men could
be collected in the districts of the
nearest port without trouble.
The great German steamship lines
were in constant practice, embarking
and disembarking and as the railroads
were owned by the state, all prelimin-
aries to the actual dispatch of troops
could be carried out with the utmost
secrecy.
Germany was perfectly aware, the
field marshal went on, that it would be
essential for her transports to evade
the British fleet and she could easily
distract attention by small raids when
disembarking, proceeding undisturbed.
1T is calculated" said Lord Rob-
erts, that there are $4,000 Germans
in employment in Great Britain. They
are trained soldiers, and if Germany
force once landed on these shores,
they would be ready to help"

Boulder.-The sixteenth annual re-
yersity shows that two new depart
ments of the university, the colleges
of commerce and education. have been
established.
The attendance in the biennial pc
Tiod has increased from $40 to 1,025,
exclusive of 129 summer students. One
hundred and nine degrees were con-
ferred in 1907 and LAG in 1908. The
graduates number 1,163.
The attention of the Legislature is
especially called to the needs of the
graduate school. The establishment
of a separate department of sociology
as urged. An appropriation is asked
for research work upon industrial and
economic subjects for the benefit Of
the state and its makers.
The college Of engineering, which
has grown from an attendance of 176
in 1906 to 271 in 1908, has been mate
rally aided by the erection of the new
shops building. The United States
government has established forestry

The medical ychool, which is petit
tioning the Legislature to allow the
last two years of the work to be re-
moved to Denver, has passed a rule
that after next year all entrants must
have had at least two years of college
work as a requisite for matriculation.
A new temporary anatomy building
was opened this year. The medical
school is also asking the Legislature
to establish state hygienic laboratory
in connection with the school. The
report points out that this would make
possible a prompt and efficient fight
against such diseases as typhoid fever,
tuberculosis, diphtheria and scarlet
fever.
The law department reports many
changes in it's faculty.
The chemistry building has been
completed. A nurses home has been
built; ten lots adjoining the campus
were purchased for $4,000. The en-
gineering shops were erected at cost
of 100000 and the anatomy building
for $500. A temporary power plant
has been built.
A power plant, science and mu-
scum building and medical building,
1t is stated, are, needed at once. The
physics department is declared to be
overcrowded. A girls dormitory, a
main building, additions to the
grounds, the completion of the library
and a gymnasium are also urged.
Aside from new buildings the annual
expenditure was $177 ,461.33, while the
Income from all sources was about
S175,000. Although the attendance
shows an increase Of about thirty per
cent. in the last two years the income
has remained practically the same.
