if they didn't wake up wheeling
about midnight, it is because Prov
idence is good to fat little girls who
ride around in a driving rain and
nothing else but fetching little
union suits
Then the Flood
There were twelve of them, and
they were the cutest and most
cherubic cupids you ever saw-un-
till the floods descended.
1t is a mercy, perhaps, that nuion
suits do not shrink until they be-
gin to dry. These union suits may
not have been the shrinking kind,
but it didn't matter. They didn't
get chance to begin to dry.
Well the cherubic teeth began
to chatter; and the fat little dozen
began to huddle together and stop
waving pink hands; and the pink
hands began to turn blue; and that
was more than the assembled mascu-
line chivalry could endure, so it
took it's coats off and draped the
same around the cherubs, after
which they beamed cheerfully upon

Oh, they went through with it
But if the nineteen committees (you
know how women are about COM
mittees,) they say that the Wienie
Committee was practically the only
one to show a large profit. But they

beautiful Chicken Dinner, and slip.
ped them the key to the city, which
might have been entered by way Of
a Lock, if you can get the double
entendre; and nightfall found the
imported band performing at a pic
ture show; and the local minstrel
talent getting primed for the fray;
and everybody full of rage and hot
wienies at the way the weather had
behaved and still was behaving; and
motor cars rushing about town,
honking loudly and imploring the
populance to be game and come out
and blow itself, which some of it
did.
The tourists said it was the best
chicken dinner they ever got outside
of: and they admired the parade,
and especially the drenched cupids;
and while it can not be said with
perfect candor that a pleasant time
was had by all, still they had the
Carnival-they went through with
it, and they kept a stiff upper lip,
and no futile tears added to the gen
eral moisture of the occasion.
And if anybody drowned, he
drowned game.

MARIETTA CARNIVAL.
By o. B KELLER

By o. B KELLER
There is one thing that simply
has to be said about Marietta-when
that town sets out to do a. thing it
certainly goes through with it.
Tuesday it set out to have a earn
ival. 1t was Civic League carnival.
The Civic League is composed of
women. Yon know how women are.
Well, those Civic Leaguers of Mari
eta are that way, only more SO.
They set out to have that Carnival,
with huge and decorated parade
of motor cars and floats; and the
coronation of a Queen, and the un-
yelling of a Mysterious King-and
all the time the Seeing Georgia Tour
was stopping over to give the Gem
City the up and down.
And, by gum that's just what
they did
They had the parade, and the
coronation, and the brass band (im-
ported), and the unwilling of the
said King, and the hot wienies, and
all-and it rained like It
rained like oh, shucks-
you know what it rains like, when
the decorations and some of the
clothes are of tissue paper; and
there is no Canopy over the Royal
Throne; and you get so waterlogged
that even your fountain pen has
H2O in it.

EFFORTS OF RUSSIANS
COMMENDED BY AsQu|TA
English Premier Declares That the
War Now Is a Contest
of Endurance.

London, July 28.-The war has
become and is likely to continue
for some time a contest of endur-
ance, Premier Asquith told the
house of commons this afternoon
while making a general review in
moving the adjournment Of par
lament from tomorrow until Sep
tember IA.
The premier declared that the
British government s confidence
in the results of the Dardanelles
operations was undiminished.
The premier emphasized his con-
fdence in the victory of both the
French and British armies engag-
ed in the western field.
The British fleet was today far
stronger, the premier continued,
than at the beginning of the war,
and to it's quiet and unobserved,
but all-powerful activity is due
the fact that the seas are clear or
substantially clear.

HA|T|EN PRESIDENT IS
KILLED BY A MOB
Will Protect Lives and Property
of Americans and Foreigners
Now in Haitien Capital.

Port au Prince, Haiti, July 29.-
Vilbrun Guillaume, president Of
Haiti, was removed today from the
French legation, where he took
refuge after yesterdays rebellion,
and was shot to death in front Of
the building by mob Of infrlriat-
ed Haitiens. His body then was
mutilated, and tied to the end of a
rope, it was dragged through the
streets of the city. The violence
followed the burial Of 160 political
prisoners who were massacred in
prison yesterday morning at the
time of the revolutionary out
break against Guillaume. The mob
was composed in large part of rel
atives Of the victims of this whole
sale execution. a
The mob invaded the French
legation, and in spite of. the urgent
protests Of M. Girard, the French
minister to Haiti, carried Pres1-
dent Guillaume out Of the build
ing. The mob surrounded the
president and shot him to death.
After his body had been dragge
about the streets it was abandoned
and later was buried by several
women in cemetery outside Of
the capital.
The United States cruiser Wash
ington, commanded by Rear Ad-
miral Caperton, arrived here to-
day from Cape Haitien. Prepara-
tions are being made to debark
American marines and sailors for
the protection Of the French lega
tion, this action having received
the approval of the French minis
ter.

JURY ON EASTLAND
NEAR ITS VERDICT
County Grand Jury Awaits the
Ending Of Coroner's S Inquest
Today.

Chicago, Ill, July 28.-With a
verdict all but formulated, accord
ing to the foreman, DR.. w. a.
Evans, the coroner's jury investl-
eating the deaths of thousand
or more excursionists in the cap
sizing of the steamer Eastland, in
the Chicago river Saturday, to-
night called in Secretary Of Com
merce Redfeld, George Uhler, in
spector- general Of the steamboat
inspection service, and A. L..
Thurman, special solicitor for the
Of Justice at Wash
ington, for private conference.
After the Federal officers had been
closeted with the jurors for more
than two hours, the examination
Of witnesses was resumed.
Secretary Redfeld said he could
not speak of what he told the cor
oner s jury. He said Coroner Peter
Hoffman and the jurors had asked
him, Mr.. Thurman and Mr.. Uhler
regarding the usual procedure in
the inspection Of lake steamers,
and of the duties Of the federal
officers connected with the grant
ing Of license to the Eastland to
carry passengers.
It was suggested and consider
ed whether there should not be
some law regulating the inspection
of steamboats, as-to stability said
Mr.. Thurman. cit was pointed out
.. to the jurors that no laws ever
have been passed providing for
that, and that there is no appro-
priation at hand to furnish a force
J to make such an inspection. .

BECKER TO DIE IN
CHAIR ON FRIDAY

New York, July 2S.-Justice
John Ford, of the Supreme court,
tonight denied new trial to Chas.
Becker, the former police ieuten-
ant under sentence of death for IN
stigating the murder of Herman

nights on the briefs submitted for

newspapermen into his chambers
and, as his secretary handed them
copies Of his typewriter decision:
the justice said:
"I hae denied the motion for a
new trial. And this is my birthday.
I'm So today. It's pretty tough
way to spend your birthday, ism t
it?

cision Tuesday night, but spent
many hours since then phrasing

j. S. WILL ASK PAY |
FOR THE .LEELANAW

Washington, July 28.-With the
receipt late today of a practically
complete report Of the torpedolng
of the American steamersIeelanaW
by a German submarine, state de-
partment officials began the prep
aration Of note to Germany re-
questing the payment of damages
on the. ground that the Prusslan-
American treaty Of 1928 had been
violated.
A report from American Consul
Dennison at Dundee, Scotland
said the captain Of the Leelanaw
attempted to escape, but submit
ted to visit and search after warn
ing shots were fired. The right to
escape, officials declared, is con
|ceded by International law, only
repeated attempts to eyade cap
ture or sforcible resistance being
regarded as affecting tie case. =
Unofficial reports that the Ger
man submarine commander was
unwilling to jetison the cargo OF
the Lee1anaw and to allow her
proceed as the. treaty Of 1928 pro-
vides cleared up doubts here on
this point. The material necessary
for the presentation of claim
similar to that made in the case
of the William p Frye was there
fore practically ready for consid-
Grafton tonight.
The report of Consul Dennison,
dated today, said:
"Leelanaw's crew here. All
safe. Sail Saturday on st. Paul.
Master under oath states sighted
German submarine July 25, 60
north Of Orkney. Endeavored to
escape Fired at distance of two
miles, shot falling short. Hove to

for ship papers, which were sent.

UNBROkEN
IN WARSAW VICINITY

London, July 28.-Although the
Germans are using very strong
reeinforcements of men and guns,
they have not yet succeed in
breaking the Russian resistance
either around Warsaw or in Kovno
and Courtland proinces, in each
of. which sections there has been
heavy fighting for nearly a fort
night.
Except for the capture Of the
village of Goworowo, on the Ma
rev front, and a number Of pris-
oners and machine guns at that
point and between Mitau and the
Niemen, the German official report
today does not claim any advance.
General Won Buelow, in the
north, and Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg, who crossed the Narew
at some points, have been checked
by Russian counter attacks.
In the southeast Field Marshal
Won Mackensen' attack on the
Lublin-Ckelm railway seems to
have come to standstill, although
he, too, is receiving reinforcements
and assistance from the Austrians,
who crossed the Bug at Sokal.
To the west Of Warsaw the Ger
mans announce the capture of the
village of Porunov, which is about
Is miles west of the fort line OF
the city; so that not much prog
ress has been made on this front.
While the Russian and German
reports are conflicting in many re-
spects, it is believed the stubborn
resistance of the grand duke s
troops, together with the fact that
the battle is being fought on
ground of his choosing, has renew
ed the hope here that, with suffi-
cient supply of munitions, he will
be able to infict strategic defeat
on the Germanic allies.

tion's proposed Continental Army Of
100000 citizens is not feasible and is
doomed to certain failure.
By concentrating its attention on the
National Guard as the second line of
national defense and strengthening
each state s present military forces TO
the highest degree of efficiency, the
national administration can bring about
real preparedness in the quickest
most economical and effective manner.
The various state National Guards
have their trained staffs in all
branches of military service, from
which the regular army is even now
drawing staff men. The Colorado Ma

These state military units-the
National Guard-under state control N

popular support, be more readily built

MORE OIL LOCATIONS

A few years ago oil locations were
all the rage in the country all the way
from Glenwood to Palisade and in those
days fellow was not in style who was
not possessed of a few oil placer
claims. Not much has been heard of
the oil prospecting of late, partially
because of the somewhat general belief
that the oil center has been localized
very close to the townsite of DeBeque.
Others are quite convinced that the
country from New Castle to a point
considerably west of DeBeque is under
laid with oil and that in few years
we will see producing oil wells dotted
all over the Grand valley.
Last Saturday Chas. H. Smith of
Denver filed with the county clerk 69
placer location certificates on land up
Roam creek from DeBeque, each locn-
ton covering 800 acres of land. This
looks very much like revival of the
oil prospecting of few years ago,
and it is freely predicted that The
DeBeque country is just on the eve of
a big oil boom which will mean much
to Glenwood and many other Grand
valley towns.
