Our Silver Lining.
Pueblo Chieftain.

fueD!O InieitAln.
Behind every cloud there is a sill
yer lining and there now seems to
be much silver to the lining back Of
the war cloud. In other words, out
of the war comes general feeling
that there i, going to be demand
for the silver Of the world, for with
out the use of silver, it is going to
be impossible for the world to liquid
ate its debts. With the expenses
already created by the war in Eu-
rope, and with the debts that will
be created before this great conflict
is ended, there is not enough gold
in existence to have even material
effect in the liquidation process that
must follow, and the world will
again have to turn to silver in order
to furnish circulation medium re-
quired by existing conditions. And
back of this is the silver lining for
silver in Colorado. Not only have
we n large number of mines that
could be opened and operated to-
morrow with profit if there was
demand for silver at right price,
but prospectors will be inspired to
again go into the hills and AZ a re-
suit Colorado will have another
Cripple Greek, Creede OF Leadville.
That the mountains of this state are
lined with great veins, rich in both
silver and gold there is no doubt,
but these hidden treasures will re-
main hidden until there is some in
sy,iration for the prospector to 60
forth and find them. A demand
again for silver will he the inspira-
ton. We may now all be suffering
from hard times but out of it will
come an era of great prosperity for
the state and every one in the state.

The assumption of the German COM

SO wide Of probability that it can only
be supposed that in the desire to con-

CURED to him was seized upon as an
excuse for an act without parallel in
the history civilized peoples.
Louvain has been utterly destroyed
by one of the emperor's commanders
in a moment of passion to cover the
blunder of his own men.
In destroying the ancient town of
Louvain the German troops committed
