it might be going on, thousands of
miles from the scene of conflicts.
Persons go calmly on their way, and
the heartaches they experience are
concealed from the world.
Mr.. Kenmore tells of a holiday
camp such as we Americans would
designate as an outing place, that has
been Communicated for a prison for
civilians. Two thousand Germans,
from all walks of life, who were in
England when war was declared and
who did not make haste to leave the

porary guests of the English govern
ment. They are detained under
guard of the military authorities.
While they are accorded the best of
treatment, they are nevertheless
watched closely. They are allowed the
of concerts and other kinds
of entertainments and occasionally al
lowed out, under parole. The rations
with which they are provided are the
same as those the British officers at
the front have. They seem happy
and quite content with the lot that
has befallen them.
Mr. Kenmore reached New York
October 31st, and arrived in Durango

to return to these parts who has been
in Paris since actual hostilities have

OWEN GOES ON
TRIAL ONCE MORE

Omitted Press
DENVER, Nov. 14.-The third trial
of Robert Owen on the charge of
kidnapping the Rev. Otis L. Spurgeon
here last spring began in the Grim
inal court here today. The juries in
both of Ovens previous trials dis
agreed.
The Rev. Spurgeon was lecturer
for the Knights of Luther, an anti
Catholic organization. Last April he
delivered an address here in which he
made charges against Catholic priests
and nuns. A few evenings after the
lecture crowd of men appeared at
his hotel, seized the lecturer, threw
him into an auto and took him far
out into the country, where he was
severely beaten and ordered not to
return to Denver under pain of worse
treatment. Spurgeon accused Owen
of having been the le.der OF his as
sailants.

CONFIDENT
OF VICTORY FOR ALLIES

Of war there ewere abundant evidences.
The streets of both London and
Paris were scenes Of desolation, com
pared with their old time lie ana
gaiety. However, in both are found
a surprisingly large number Of males
of military age, in civilian dress,
showing that if the war continues for
many, many months, there will be
men enough to fill the soldiers ranks.
At the time of his visit to the French
capital, the invading army had been
turned back and the inhabitants were
confident the danger period was over.
Mr.. Kermode tells US that the name
of one of our most notorious Ameri-
cans furnishes the English with a
synonym for the big calibre seige
guns used by the Germans. Shades
of White Hopes listen while we whis-
per, it is Jack johnson.
AS an example of the patriotic
spirit of the English, Mr.. Kermode
cited the fact that when in September
Lord Kitchener made an appeal for
100000 recruits, one million five hun
dred thousand responded, most Of the
number being either professional
men or members of the stock ex-
change, and are designated as Lord
Darby's Pals" These are under the
most rigid training and not one of
the number will be sent to the front
until spring. This, Mr.. Kermode says,
is in keeping with England's general
policy-calm, prepared and hopeful,
reserving strength until it is needed.
For the most part neither France
or England give evidence Of the ter
rible struggle that is going on. There
is neither disorganized system or dis
order that one would expect to find.
A. far - general life Il concerned,
Semi-weekly herald., 1914-11-16

England is certain of the ultimate
success of the allies, but she recog-
nizes that the seige will be long
drawn out and is perfecting her ar
rangements accordingly" said F. R.
Kermode, one of the most prominent
business men Of Montezuma county,
who has just returned from a three
months stay in Europe, the most of
the time being spent in his old home
on the Isle of Man.
Mr.. Kermode reached the scene of
his boyhood days about three weeks
after that deplorable affair at Sera-
jevo, the murder of the heir appar-
ent of the Austrian throne, which
was used as a pretext for the war.
When he arrived there the powers of
Europe had just commenced talking
about being their brothers protectors,
if that brother happened to be a
brother-in-arms Not until war was
actually declared did he appreciate
the crisis the nations of Europe were
facing.
Owing to the marvellous loyalty
and patience of the English press,
persons there do not know a great
deal more about the happenings Of the
battle line than the readers of Am
erican newspapers. While not at any
time nearer than sixteen miles of the
battle front, he saw enough Of the
war tragedy to have it become al
most commonplace.
The khaki uniformed soldiers were
everywhere and the sight of soldiers
MANNED and mangled with lead and
steel greeted his eye times without
number In his trip to Paris in Oc-
tober, he crossed land "plowsd with

PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. 14.-Ths
Yale bulldog invaded the tigers lair
today for the annual gridiron battle.
1t was the first time Yale has ap-
peared in the huge new football sta
dium that was formally opened this
fall with the Princeton victory over
Dartmouth.
Between 10000 and 10000 Blue,
and Orange and Black rooters were
in the stands an hour before the
game began. 1t was expected the full
quota Of 10000 or more would be In
their seats when the refree blew the
whistle that starts the thirty-ninth
annual football game between the two
great eastern universities In that
many years.
The stands were a riot Of color. In
the central seats, allotted respectively
to Yale and Princeton were bands
which Wed with the singers and root
ers to keep the old grads interested
until the teams lined up.
In the thirty-eight years that Yale
and Princeton have never failed to
meet on the gridiron. Yale has won
twenty-seven, and Princeton nine
games. There have been two score
less ties-in 1881 and In 1906.
In 1912 the teams quit even up
after one Of the greatest struggles
in the history Of football between
them, the score being 6-6. Last year
Tiger and Bulldog again quit even
up with the score 3-3.
Since 1908 Princeton has won only
one game-thst in 1911 when all that
saved Yale from shutout was . goal
from the field which made the final
tally Princeton 8, Yale 8.

Dies in Denver

George w. Franklin, the third mem
Der of the Pioneer association to pass
away within week, died in Denver
this morning at 8 o'clock. He was
well known to hundreds of people
throughout the San Juan basin.
Mr.. Franklin was son of Ander-
son and Sarah Franklin, of Raleigh,
N. C. He was born in Brownstown,
Ind, March oath, 1910, and raised in
Jacksonville, III.
In the late sixties he moved with
his family to Labettes county, Kan
sas, where he became prominent po-
litically, having been elected sheriff
of the county, filing the office to
the credit of himself and to the sat
isfaction of the people. In 1876, at
tracted by the mining excitement in
Colorado, he came to the San Juan
locating in Lake City, new and live
ly mining camp, later engaging in the
saw mill and lumber business and
merchandising in Burrows Park. From
thence he removed to Del Norte,
where he made his home several
years, removing to Durango in the
early nineties. During his residence
in the San Juan he was largely en-
gagged in mining, both coal and lode
mining.
He is survived by his widow, two
sons and a daughter, Geo. C. Frank
lin of 1910 Lafayette street, Denver,
son in Kansas City and Mrs. Geo.
Scibard, Of Union City, Ore.
George w. Franklin was a member

was until his removal from this city
an active working member Of the
above mentioned Masonic bodies, fill
ing important offices. he was also a
member of long standing in the San
Juan Pioneer association, and was a
highly respected citizen whose death
will be deeply regretted by all who
knew him.
The board of directors of the Du-
rango public library, of which Mrs
Franklin was for many years men,
ber, sent her the following message
of coincidence this afternoon:
The Durango library board learns

WHEAT MOVING SLOWLY.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., Nov. a.
Although the wheat crop throughout
the northwest is the biggest in years,
railroad men claim that the movement
is 33 per cent below normal. This
they attribute to the high price of
grain and war, which they say have
influenced farmers to hold the grain
for higher prices. An unusually open
fall has allowed much fall plowing
and this, too, contributed to the slow
movement of grain. With the COM
ing of real cold, when roads will be
frozen and fall plowing delayed, a
heavier movement of grain is expect.
