Spring Campaign will be Slow
Judging from present indica-
tions the Arvada Spring Camp
aign will lag for want of enthusi-
asm on the part of candidates fol
places on the Town Board. Most
of the present incumbents have
hung out the never again" sign
and all agree that it is a thank
less job, and that it is absolutely
impossible to please all Of the
people. From the picture that is
painted by those who have sery-
ed on the board, the man who
has served faithfully and well
should be given crown and be
presented with a card Of thanks
in a guided frame that he can
hang on the walls Of his den as
an emblem of patriotism. The
fact remains, however, that there
must be a Town Board as long
as Arvada is a town and the
Town Board must have members.
1t would be absurd to suppose
that any set OF men could trans
act the towns business TO please
every one, but if the people
would take more interest IN what
goes on in the council chamber
and be there whenever anything
is done in which their interests
are affected, they would be in a
better position to give advice and
be better qualified to critcise.

GERMAN ARMY ADVANCING
 INTO HEART OF BEL GUM
MADE CIRCUIT ALONG 20
 MILES OF BELGIAN FRONT
Correspondent Says No Heavy Fight
 ing Is Likely in Belgian Limbura.

Brussels. via Paris. Aug. F. 5 p. m. -On the report that operations on an extensive scale were imminent a. cor respondent by permission of the war control, made a circuit along twenty miles of the Belgian front, visiting the extreme advance and talking with the officers and men.
 The Belgians are on the alert. as important bodies of German cavalry country above Liege. proceeding in the direction of Tongres and St. Trond
 The impression of the correspondent is that no heavy fighting is likely in Belgian Limburg, where the Germans have little or no infantry. By the opposition offered by the Belgian troops at Liege. the Germans lost pre- cious time. which was proftably em- ployed by the French and British in concentrating masses at convenient points.
 The allied forces have been so dis posed as to be supported by a forti- fled position at many of the chief points, but little or nothing has been done around Brussels and it is thought that Brussels. is being used as bait to attract the Germans on.
 The Belgian people are anxious re- gardiag Brussels. as the German cav airy are carrying their raids nearer and nearer to the capital but such considerations are not likely to have any effect on the decisions Of the gem eral staff.
 It is certain that vast preparations have been made by the allies now spread out for battle and they are likely to move quickly when the hour to strike comes.

 Sherman then drew a revolver, it is said, and fired four shots at MT. TooIe, who was seated back of the desk Two of the shots penetrated the neck, another lodged back of the ear and the fourth struck his hip.

Virtually all of them were without baggage, many of them without money. had stories of hard ships to tell
 The Philadelphia sailed from South ampton a few hours after England de- clared war on Germany. The first day out a fleet of seven French torpedo boats and three sum mbarines was sight ed. One of the torpedo boats hurried after the American liner. the rest of the fleet following slowly. Finally the torpedo boat-the B-7, came up along side and ordered the Philadelphit to stop. The war vessel circled the liner ly at the faces of the passengers on the decks. When the French naval of- hcers were sure that the Philadelphia was an American vessel and that the passengers were Americans. one of them &houted in excellent English that the PnNt deIphia might proceed
 The Messengers cheered the French warships. The cheer was returned asd the tiny war vessels steamed away.
 The refugees in the steerage were given the freedom of the ship. The men were separated from the women, however, and in some cases husbands were separted from their wives by this Regulation. Rather than sleep in the steerage scores of these passengers slept In the smoking room, on the boat deck under the boats and life rafts and in steamer chairs. Four persons were in every cabin

ENGLAND PROTECTING
 ATLANTIC TRADE ROUTES.
Admiralty Has Sent Out Cruisers For
 That Purpose.

London, Aug. 1-2.-The admiralty has sent out cruisers which will ply the Atlantic for the purpose of protecting trade routes. The French government also has sent out warships to search for German cruisers known to be in the Atlantic.
 '-The enemyss ships" says the ofacis1 admiralty report, will be hunted con tinually and, although some time may elapse before they are run down they will be kept too busy to do much mis- chief.
 "A number of fast merchant vessels fitted and armed at British arsenals also are patroiling the routes and keep ing them clear of German commerce and raiders. With every day that passes British control of trade routes, especially those of the Atlantic, become stronger. In the North sea. where the uefmans have scattered mines indis- criminateiy and where the most forrni- dable operations of tho naval war arc proceeding. the admiralty can give no reassurance."

That no important engagement has occurred between the French and Germans is indicated by an official an- nouncement made by the French war department that up to Wednesday af- ternoon there had been no encounters between the respective forces except those of outposts
 Later. however. Paris reported that the bombardment by the Germans of the important town of Pont- a-lMous- son. in the department of Meurthe- -et- Moselle, had commenced. This town is 20 miles from Nancy and sixteen miles south southwest of Metz. It was the birthplace of Marguerite of Anjou, wife of Henry VI of England.
 An important development in the situation is the preparations which the Austrian ambassador is making for his immediate departure from Lon don. A London despatch says that war between Great Britain and Aus tria is to be declared.
 The German army is advancing into the heart of Belgium. The forces which have been investing Liege have moved to the north and new army corps have taken their places.

Denial From
 Meat Packers
THAT THEY USED EUROPEAN
 WAR TO- BOOST PRICES
SHORT OF LIVESTOCK
Receipts of Cattle forPass Two Weeks Have Been Approaching a Famine Rssis-Armeur 6 Go. Have Killed Fewer Hogs Than During Any Sim liar Period.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Vigorous denial that packers have made the European war an excuse to put up meat prices was made today by J. Ogden Armolr, said that the reason for the advance was that receipts at the stockyards here for the last two weeks have been approaching famine basis.
 In that time the statement explained Armour and. Company have killed fewer hogs than during any similar period in the history of the concern
 The nine Armour plants killed only 14,73S hogs last week against 70 1886 the week before the war; the state ment read. They killed only l7,5l2 cattle last week as against 21.sS6 the week before the war and only 30,344 sheep last eweelx as against 46, ,395 the week before the war"
 Shortage of Livestock.
 Mir. Armour said the packers had contended with a shortage or live stock for a year and lately with the natural tendency of the producer to hold back his stock in hopes of war time prices.
 Circumstances of last week, utter ly beyond the control of anybody. di- rectly affected livestock and meat prices.' he said. The financial sit uation everywhere, fortunately now a thing of the past. made it impossible 4OT DOycIS ana SQ1pperS ln the stock growing sections to send stock to the market.
 Conditions Becoming Normal.
 Then Washington sent out and properly so. official advice to farmers to hold their crops. While this was addressed directly to cotton and wheat growers. it had its effect upon all farm products These circumstances, added to the livestock shortage, caused fluctuations which nobody could con- tra!. The conditions are fast becom- ing normal and prices soon will be on a more even basis.
 During the last two weeks Armour and Company has killed fewer nogs than during any similar period since we have been in business Our Chi cago plant has a killing capacity of more than 60,000 hogs a week. Last week 1t killed only 50,240.
 These are first hand facts from our own business. They are to be paralleled in that of every other pack ing company. Only the other day, we were able to fill but one-third of an order from one of the nations at war because the raw material could not be obtained.
 No Occasion for Hysteria.
 Our business men are as patriotic as any other element in our popuIa- ton and are not looking for a chance to squeeze an extra dollar out of ab- normal conditions. If we all keep cool and avoid mysteries, we will pull through this Unusual situation to the satisfaction of everybody"

 When the soldiers now depart for the front. says the correspondent. they leave no trace; their relatives have no means of knowing whether they are in the fighting line, and are obliged to entrust letters for them to the minis try of war, and perhaps receive the statement from the minister of war: Your son has fallen on the field of honorn
