AMERICANS IN MEXICO
(Boulder Camera)

lbOulueT CdmeTd)
Why are American residents of Mex
leo "aghast" as they say in an ap-
peal to the Washington government?
Why are they "aghast'' and astonish-
ed and panied because Uncle Sam
doesn't protect them? They were
warned two years ago that the Uni
ted States would only extend its arm
for protection long enough to en-
able them to get out. They knew
the danger, yet they tarried in the
midst of conditions that were threat
ening. 1t is not the duty of Uncle
Sam to do more than offer to take
away citizens who find themselves
in troublous state. He has no call
to place soldier beside every citi-
zen who stays in a state where the
people are known to be controlled
by hatred against Americans. They
should have got cut when the going
was good.

AMMoNs OFF HIS TROLLEY

We are in receipt of a letter
from a mining man in Boston, con
tanning suggestion, that if acted
upon, would go far toward stopping
the incessant knocking of Colorado
by office holders and ex-officials.
The writer of the letter has in mind
a portion of speech delivered in
Boston recently at the conference of
governors, wherein Colorado's illus
trious Ex-Governor Ammons, (out of
ignorance) hands metal mining a
severe jolt, and the suggestion of the
mining man is that Colorado pass
law keeping these kind of ducks in
side the boundary lines of Colorado,
anyway, and if they must go out,
appoint a guardian.
Ammons was speaking on the de-
velopment of tie west and was tell
ing his listeners of the capital that
was needed to develop the states
resources along agricultural lines and
then wound up with this unpardon-
able display of ignorance in regard
to the mining industry: And even
our production of gold calls for dol
lar expended for every dollar gain
ed" An incorrect statement of this
kind would be Inaccessible in the aver
age layman, much less a man who
has held the highest position within
the gift of the people of the state,
and who should be familiar with the
statistics covering cur mineral out
put.
To learn the utter righteousness
of his contention, Ex-Governor Am
mons is referred to statistics COM
piled by the government on the gold
and silver output in 1914. This shows
that Colorado produced last year, s19
902 400 in gold and S4,S6S, 500 in sill
yer, saying nothing of the by-pro
ducts. In the face of these reliable
figures, how dare the ex-governor
stand before an intelligent audience
and try to make them believe such
nonsense that $4,000 000 was required
to be expended to produce that same
amount in gold and silver! Anyone
knows wEo is famiiisr with invest
ments in the state, that nothing any
where approximatirg s25.0OO, 900 was
spent in metal mining in Colorado
during 1914.
Our Boston correspondent is pre-
eminently correct Something of a
necessity must be done to step Am
mons, Lindsey, Carlson and other
citizens of the state from appearing
before eastern audiences and con-
stantly placing Colorado. her people,
and her wonderful resources in a
bad light. Colorado receives more
undesirable publicity in one year
through the mouthings of certain
coterie of her citizens than can be
offset in faithful boosting in de-
ade.

Boudojr Scenes,

Had a young daughter, and did l
wish to pick out those pieces which |
deemed eminently safe, proper and

regular practice to recommend to
her only such plays as had at least
one of their acts laid in a bedroom.

lean play or on foreign play adapted
for the American stage. ana reveals a

A ROMANTIC PLACE

Bards and laymen have never tired
OF rehashing the beauties and grand
duer of the Alps, with its wonderful
Jungfrau mountain, that rises, heaven
ward for a distance of 13,600 feet,
or the Grand canon of the Colorado,
that courses through the immense
crevice of granite rocks in northern
Arizona.
Perhaps not one of those who have
SO eloQuently written OF these magnif,
icent attractions, and pronounced
the world, have ever visited the vi
cinity OF Chicago lakes in Clear
Creek counay, Colorado, where mount
Evans rears its hoary head to an ele-
from whose lofty summit the eye can
survey the contour CT mountain and
plain in six of the great common
wealths that partially comprise this
constellation of states.
From it's summit, one can look
down upon a chain of lakes, each low
er than the other, and all fed by the
same stream, whose source of sup
ply is from the immense glaciers
above that are melted by the suns
rays.
This chain of lakes are called the
three Chicago lakes, all lying above
timber line. TIE upper one is at
an altitude of $4,000 feet, and its
surface is frozen over nearly the en-
tire year, while number two tor CEN
ter, lake,, is at an altitude of 1000
feet, and number three is at an alti-
tude of II 900 feet, and whose over
flow waters plunge down nearly per-
pendicular cliff to natural park, sur
rounded by granite walls at an eleva-
tion of 5000 feet. The different cat
aracts produced, and their sparkling
waters glistening in a morning sun
light, as it plunges down these steep
declensions of 5000 feet are far
more grand than the falls of the
Yosemite, or the tri killing rills of the
Alps, or even tie turbid and seeth-
ing waters of the Colorado.
The natural park into which these
waters empty, forms the headwaters
! Of Chicago creek, and is nearly sur
rounded by granite walls, 5000 fest
in heighth, with it's level surface p o
ducing heavy growth of natural grass
es, while its twilight rays at mid
day and the dense stiffness, inspires
one with wonderment and awe. From
this park, the waters are named Chic
ago creek and mesrders through q
shaded and fertile valley, beset will

The Investigations by the special
committee, appointed to investigate
Gen. John Chase and others, are
bringing to light testimony that the
miners unions employed detectives to
shadow Chase and the governor, and
bring about indictments to offset the
indictments now pending against the
leaders of the United States Mine

THE STATUS OF THE WAR

The London Sunday Observer, just
at hand, makes the following grave
admission: I'VE have rendered scanty
assistance to our allies, but our eff
forts are only at their beginning
Whether the promise has any more
foundation that Kitchener's predic-
tion that the war would begin in May,
remains to be seen.
The achievement. CT Germany do
not have to be promised; they are ac-
cOmplished. Within a little more
than year she has conquered Bel
gium and an important strip of
France, has torn Poland from the
grasp of Russia and occupies the
German-populated Baltic provinces
of the czar.She has retaken Galicia
for her ally, Austria, and under com
mand of her officers, the Turks are
firmly holding the Dardanelles
against the efforts of the combined
land and sea attacks of the British
and the French.
But the German victories, like
those of Napoleon, stop with the land.
On the other side, we see that Ger
many has lost all of her colonies;
she neither exports nor imports ex-
cept surreptitiously. Her ships no
longer sail. Her submarines are an
the commerce of the entente pow
ers
Germany has beaten France and
Russia seriously but not decisively.
and while Great Fr.taip acknowl-
edges her own deficiencies in the war
we must concede that if the English
fleet were out of the way the French
and the Russians would soon be COM
PEELED to sue for peace. or France
would become forever a German pro-
vince.
OF course. Russia could not be con-
quered. Her resourc es are inexhaus-
tible, but to arm her armies fully
may require a year yet. The man.
ner of the Russian retreat indicates
that the czar is resolved upon con-
| tinuing the war. The Grand Duke
lays waste the country as he retires.
The method is the same as was used
against Napoleon, who, as the cam
paign advanced vainly offered the
Emperor Alexander peace.
What price Germany has paid for
her successes to the present, no one
knows except German officials, but
it must be staggering. The strug-
gle reminds one of the successes of
the south during the civil war. Vic
tories were gained nearly everywhere
during nearly three years, but the
victories were costly in men and sup
plies. The defeats cost the north
heavily of course, but the north had
the resources and could stand the
losses, while the south couldn't Pos
sibly better illustration may be
drawn from the career of Napoleon
himself. He won everywhere. For
nearly twenty years he never lost a
battle and lost only two campaigns
that against Egypt and that against
Moscow. But his limited means OF
men and money were being exhausted
while, with the rest of Europe against
him. his enemies were more power
ful and when exhaust on came to the
French Leipsic and defeat came to
Napoleon. Waterloo finished him.
