PEACE RE|CNS
IN COLORADO
Federal Soldiers Do Not An
tlCipate Any Trouble
TERROR ZONE REPORTED QUIET
Strikers in the Southern Coal Fields
Glad to See Government Troops
Come Into the Troubled District.

Glad to See Government Troops
Come Into the Troubled District.
Quietness prevails since the federal
troops took charge of the situation
in the southern Colorado coal fields.
When the train bearing the federal
troops reached Trinidad the strikers
and others cheered. The miners be-
lieve that the coming of the soldiers
means recognition for their union.
However, they are not over anxious
to turn over their weapons to the
troops.
But the battle is not over. The fed
eral troops may prevent actual blood
shed, but unless their presence event
ually settles the strike there can be
no peace.
Militiamen or mine guards are
blamed by the coroner's jury for the
destruction of the miners tent colony
at Ludlow, where three women and
several children were burned to death
after rife attack.
Witness after witness told the
coroner's jury that the militia deliber-
ately fired the tents where it was
known the women and children had
taken refuge from the bullets of the
machine guns.
Mrs. Pearl Jolly, leader of the wo.
men in the Ludlow colony, described
dramatically the attack upon the
colony and its terrible results. On
the stand she was calm, showing not
the slightest trace of excitement.
R. j. Mcdonald, former stenogra-
pher for the Colorado military COM
mission, told the jury positively that
the orders for the colony's destruction
came either from Major Hamrock, in
command of the state troops and mine
guards who participated in the fight
or from Captain Carson, one of Ham
rocks principal aids.
"Weve got just forty minutes tc
take and burn that colony" he testi

it gets dark"
A few moments later the troops and
mine guards, he said, swept down the
tracks in the charge that meant the
colony's destruction and the deaths of
three women and eleven children who
sought refuge in the colony's Safety
pit.
Have your big Sunday today, old
girl" Mrs. Pearl jolly, leader of wo-
men at Ludlow, testified a militiaman
told a strikers wife on the day before
the tragedy, tomorrow we'll have the
roast"
Mrs. jolly said that when the troops
opened fire on the colony many of the
women and children were only hall
dressed.
81 stayed in the colony as long as
possible" she declared, "after which
l fled to an arroyo and finally gained
the Bayes ranch. The following morn
ing three or four of the tents were
still burning. We saw the militia
enter the colony and saturate the can
vas with coal oil, then apply match

Harm to Trade, However.
Dun's Review of Trade says this
Week:
while some betterment is discern
able in certain branches of trade in
others a further moderate recession
in activity is manifest. Fundamental
conditions are sound and the agri-
cultural outlook augurs well for the
future, yet hesitancy is general in
anticipating forward requirements.
Complaints are still heard, especial
ly in the east, of the restraining in
fuence of unsettled weather, which
checks a full retail distribution of
seasonable merchandise and also
hampers outdoor work. Although eX-
pansion in building operations is to
be expected at this period of the year
nearly all wholesale lines dependent
upon new construction are at present
quiet"

the divine in the light in the cloud in the sea,
in the compelling forces of nature? Jove himself,
the head of the divinities of the Greeks and the
Romans, was the d iicaton of the thunder and the
lightning?
Possibly Dr. Eliot too far overlooks the fact that
Jesus Christ gave up his life teaching the world
that God is not energy and WILL primarily, not sound
and light and electricity and all these wonderful
forces, but that God is love.
Science in its cold fashion may question this,
may deny deride it. But it is nevertheless,
the living vital force in religion which makes Chris
tanity today thin of meaning which tends to infuse
the spirit of brotherhood in men, which gives potency
to the efforts of individuals and governments in
behalf of human welfare. The God of today is not
to be confused with the energies of light and sound
and electricity Unless all progress is worthless ana
all so-called advancement dream and deluson,
then God is what Christ said God was, being of
love- whose influence is working in the hearts of men
to make life better, to draw mankind closer together
in kindliness, in charity in fraternity, in mutual help
funess. No other religion is worth while by compari-
with the religion that teaches this. And the cold
analyses of science cannot successfully dispute the
facts succeed in driving from the Christian re-
gion the inspiration that has made it tremendous
living growing force since the days when the
Nazarene first preached to mankind.

months has purchased and sold to Is

Ninety dollars surplus was earned in
this time, and a problem has been solved
in the delivery of bulky goods TO people
who are scattered throughout the coun-
try. In nine months the earnings Of the
paid up capital stock are about % per

NO NEW POLICY IN MEXICO.

About all the light that has been thrown the
mysterious conference between President Wilson and
John Lind is that no Mexican policy has been de-
veloped. The meeting, which seems to have been en-
Veoped with secrecy that was unnecessary, was ap-
parently for the purpose of having long and con-
fdential talk about the situation il being more con-
venient to exchange information and opinions in this
way than in any other.
Mr.. Lind is to stay in Mexico and it is given out
the American policy respecting Mexico is unchanged
If this is correct it means simply that the waiting
game is to be played still further, in the hope that
the Mexicans will fight out their troubles themselves
and Huerta will eventually be ousted by his enemies.
In other words the Mexican situation is just as re-
mote as ever from solution and particularly so as
there is disclosure to indicate that with Huerta
out there is any assurance that stable government
will follow. Some hope, there may be, that the
northern group of leaders will restore peace. But
thus far it is only hope and nothing to which it will
do to attach anything like certainty.

oaice. but make it possible to conduct
the purchase of supplies I'm a more busi-
nesslike manner. to simplify forms and
procedure and to expedite payments. In
this connection, 1t Is believed that il will
be to the advantage of the service that
better business methods be adopted in
the buying of supplies, and II is gratify-
ing to be able to report some progress
toward this desirable end.
"One important step in this direction
has been a closer inspection of all
goods purchased. 1t Is nov the policy
of this office to have an inspection re-
port on practically every piece of goods
that goes into the service and to have
such inspection approved before goods
are accepted, Failure to so inspect in
the past has probably cost the depart
ment thousands of dollars and OCCASION
ed dissatisfaction in the service that
could otherwise have been avoided.
Such failure to inspect auding ma
chimes, for example, has made l. neces-
sary to order a special investigation Of
all machines purchased for the past
several years. The result OF this in
vestigation will necessarily have to
await future report. 1t Is not the in
tention to make inspections rigid or
but honest and practical.
1T has also been the policy OF this
office to increase our mailing lists and
invite competition, and to shiD supplies
direct to the field in all cases where
possible, thus saving freigf-.
