THE WORLDS WAR AGAINST
WAR.

TedSe Comments on the Uniform
Prayer Meeting Topic of the Young
Peoples Societies-Christian En-
deavor, Etc.-for August so,
lisa. 65: 1925.
(By William E. Ellis).
In these days it is we'll to watch
closely the whole worlds horizon, for
vast changes are taking place. The
time has come to think in large units,
to study world maps
The whole earth is reeling from
the staggering shock Of war, even as
these lines are being penned. All the
nations Of Europe are fighting, or
else armed for the fray, and the
worlds remOtest country is affected
by this vast cateclysm, this horrible
human holocaust. Perhaps it is in
this awful school, since nations would
learn in no other, that the God Of ma
tons is teaching the lesson of uni
versal peace. After the great pow
ers have crushed and spent and ex-
hausted one another; and after the
savage art of war has taken unmeas-
| ured toll Of the worlds young man
hood; after fearful paralysis of the
| productive processes Of civilization
then, and not u--til then, men will
learn to submit themselves to the
brotherly sway Of the Prince Of
| Peace.
| Whatever promotes the spirit OF
human sympathy and good will di-
rectly initiates against war.
The Christian church should be
the chief supporter Of the peace
cause, for she is the custodian of the
angelic message. peace on earth
good will to men," Still, it must be
admitted that in this. as in other OF
her larger responsibilities, the church
has failed to rise to the magnitude
forces of organized. Christendon
surging into line behind this caus'
which is SO closely allied to the birtl
and spirit Of her Lord. The church
should be the worlds most active ant

Whatever promotes intercour
and knowledge and sympathy among
mankind serves the cause of peace

PEOPLE win VICTORIES
SUPREME COURT AND JUDGE
PERRY MAKE TWO SWEEP
ING DECISIONS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Denver.-The railroad companies
were dealt two blows simultaneously
in cases involving all freight rates
from the northern Colorado coal
fields. While Judge John A. Perry
was reading one decision, the justices
Of the Supreme Court were reading
another Both decisions, taken to-
gether, hedge the railroad companies
in such manner that there seems to
be no escape from putting into effect
the low rates fixed by the State Rail-
road Commission, and the roads must
also reimburse shippers in the sum
of $375,000 for overcharges collected.
Judge Perry upholds the order Of
the State Railroad Commission that
coal rates from northern Colorado
fields to Denver must be reduced 33
per cent; decides commission was
constitutionally created and has power
to fix rates; sustains reduction on
lump coal from 80 to SIS cents ton
and all other reductions. Three defen-
dant railroad companies must make re-
funds of at least $375,000 in excess
charges and are liable for penalties of
more than 100000 additional.
The Supreme Court decided that,
even If there were no railroad COM
mission or statute governing freight
rates, any shipper might compel rail-
roads to reduce rates, and prove what
is reasonable rate by Offering evil
dence of Interstate rates. Instead OF
being tied up in court for six months,
at enormous expense, shipper may,
under this ruling, prove his case in
half day by offering in evidence
rates fixed by Interstate Commerce
Commission, and no other evidence.
Shipper not required to prove that
rates are excessive, but railroads must
prove they are reasonable.
Other cases decided by the Supreme
Court include that of Oscar Cook, con-
victed of killing Patrolman William
Mcpherson, granted new trial.
Bi-Metallic Company's injunction,
restraining Tax Assessor Pitcher from
carrying out increased assessment un-
der orders of State Tax Commission,
reversed.

case of George Kindel, who was
awarded judgment of 1924 in lower
court on allegation that road was

TWO GIRLS Save TRAIN
HORSE CREEK DAM, NEAR GREE.
LEY, GOES OUT.
Damage of 100000, But Fast eurlins-
ton Passenger Train Saved from
Plunge into Chasm.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Greeley, Colo.-The active minds
and ready wit of two young women
prevented a disaster on the c.. B. C
@. railroad and probably saved the
lives Of 100 passengers when the
Great Horse Creek reservoir dam,
twenty-seven miles south of here on
the Adams county line. broke, releas-
Ing a wall of water 100 feet high.
The heroines are Dora Shafer, the
eighteen-year-old daughter of F. M.
Shafer, prominent farmer, and Miss
Addie Cannon, night telephone oper-
ator at Hudson.
The Shafer family lives a mile north
of the dam and all were awakened by
the roar Of the water.
Believing the main bridge had
broken, Miss Shafer telephoned to
Hudson, the nearest town, and the op-
orator in that city notified the agent.
When she realized it would be i'm
possible for him to get men to the
danger point before No. Is, the fast
Burlington passenger train from Kan
sas City, would arrive, Miss Cannon
called farmers out of their beds and
sent them to the bridge.
The train was tagged just in time.
One hundred feet of the track at the
bridge approach had been washed from
the main roadbed.
With a roar that could be heard for
miles, a 300-foot section of the dam
went out. The total loss Of property
and water is estimated at between
$175,00O and $780, 900.
The water which is owned by the
Henrylyn irrigation district and which
escaped into Box Elder creek, was val
ued at $4,000.
]. M. Norris, George L. Smiley.
Henry Graf and others had stock
grounds in the rush Of waters and
their loss will reach a large sum, more
than $50 animals having perished.
In addition to saving the train, Miss
Shafer discovered one of the freaks
Of the flood, the water Of which was
from six to ten feet deep, when she
found one Of her fathers horses a
renter had been using blocked in on
the porch of house by ice, mile
from where the animal belonged.
Great cakes of ice which were bat
tered against the concrete facing
helped to weaken it and the dam gave
way when the pressure became too
great.

Loveland.-The sugar factory closed

than it has for three years. All en-
ployes who worked the entire season
