tracts in the 30. 600 acres admitted to

on the part Of the secretary to declare
the project open December l, given out
by Project Manager Fitch yesterday.
The notice follows:
In view of the intention to issue

tive December l, 1915, and in order to
avoid the expense to the project and
the water users of making new appli-

ration of the current applications,
which terminate Sept. 30, 1915, it is
hereby ordered that all valid and exist

intention of the Denver office to cut
the water service department down to
seven men. A change in the method of
administering water contracts had not
cut down the amount of clerical work
very much, and Clint protested against
looping off any more of his help. This
protest brought back a statement from

English lords and ladies call every afternoon and have tea with the so- journers. Sometimes member of the royal family is found among the call CTS; but not a day passes that the Belgian refugees do not receive marked attention.
 Tourists have long known London big London-as the most hospitable town in the world. Kindliness is the rule in all walks of life. And the Londoner who gives stranger help ing hand makes the man aided feel as if he were the benefactor. It's great London, and the Harrington house scene is only one of many that reveals in a quiet, unostentatious way, the kindness of heart and the gracious courtesy of English people.

At the Newspnucr CIuh

'sThlS is certainly an ideal place to spend d fellows leisure moments remarked P. P. Waldrop of Birmingham as he re- clined in easy chair in the reading room of the Newspaper club.
 When one has good book to read or is conversing with friends it would seem at times that he is almost isolated from the city's life, situated as you are so many feet above the sidewalk; but one of the best features of the club I believe, sthat there are few things that happen in the streets of the downtown section of the city that escape the notice of peo- pie at the Newspaper club There is al- should fire break out and the engines rush by someone at the club is sure to become aware of it, and sometimes on a quiet Sunday even the Salvation Army band is sufficient to creat short di- version. One never becomes tired of the magnificent view afforded from the sum init of the Jefferson County Bank build ing, and on clear night when the city is brilliantly lighted the sight presented is especially enchanting. When a great fire breaks out at night spectacle at once magnificent and awful is presented

HOW ENGLAND cor HER EMPIRE

| .'arl the St. Louis st-Dispatch.
 Acco vding to the 1915 World Almanac,
 the total area of the British empire today
 is 13,153712 square miles Of this area. no less than 5.70S,576 square
 miles were acquired by the process Of settlement by migrants from the mother country. The settlement area includes such huge territories as Australasia and Western Canada. Of the Canadian North west it may be said that it would not
 have been settled by British subjects, but for the fact that Ontario. Quebec and the other eastern provinces had previously been acquired through conquest and ces- sion.
 Of the other 7.445145 square miles that go to makeup this vast empire, the prin- cipal parts acquired through downright
 conquest are Hindustan and the Soudan each over 100000 square miles. The rest
 has been obtained through treaty cession, plain cession or annexation, more or less peaceably.
 Of much territory owned by Great Britain it might be said that she acquired
 it simply because her adventurers got
 there first. found nobody else making 2
 claim, and set up the Union Jack. Of this class of territory is the island known as South Georgia, in the South Atlantic ocean. It has 1G0O square miles, some
 snowy mountain peaks. 9 good harbor. plenty of grazing land for cattle, and rich flora. And it is entirely uninhab-

Titled Belgian Refugees

That was a pathetic picture which a London correspondent drew of the large colony of aristocratic but inn poverished Belgians now cared for Tn the metropolis by the benevolent Eng fish bristocracy.
 A stately house-the Harrington mansion-in fashionable London has been set apart as the temporary abode of distinguished refugees. In opera bouffe and musical comedy are sometimes seen an ex-ruler of a Ihanlrupt principality-leading the
 lie of vagabond. Such characters are eated for the stage to make people
 uph. But as the London correspond ent suggests, not since the French revolution has this scene of the Har- rington mansion had its counterpart in real life.
 In this company of refugees are not few personages of noble rank, ant not a few artists and scientists oi prominence. They are now the objects of charity, but in order that their sens' of dignity may not be entirely lost

COLOR PRINTING IN JAPAN

From Cartoons Magazine.
 The father of pictorial printing in Japan
 at least, so considered by many-was
 IiishilIawa Moronobu, who was born,
 probably in 1895 in a small village across
 the bay from Edo. He was the son Cf a
 celebrated embroiderer and designer, and
 at the age of 10 Moronobu had begun his
 life work under the tutelege of his father.
 Early in life he became follofyer of Ma
 tahei. designing under the direction of that
 master many pictures for book illustra-
 iions for which work his youthful train-
 ing lad eminently qualified him. The art of wood engraving under his direction made remarkable progress. His picture books and single-sheet prints attained great vogue. The latter were impressions and were known as sum-ye, sunni being the Japanese name for India ink. Color ing in his day was applied by hand. and consisted only of few touches oflgreer or yellow, or dash of red.
 Moronobu had two sons who inherited his talent. Many of his pupils also made names for themselves, giving the popular
 movement impetus that carried it far
 on it's triumphant progress Among his followers was kiyonobu. who became the official artist for all the theatres in Edo and whose prints of the leading actors of those days were eagerly bought by lovers of the theatre.
 | Masanobu, who was pupil of Kiono- 1 bu, is acknowledged the discoverer of the 1 first practical method of color printing technical problem which for long time had defied solution This invention was
 made in TAP A trick of using rice paste to Keep the colors from running evidently solved the problem, but nearly 20 years elapsed before a process was invented for
 printing in more than two colors. One of the pioneers in color printing was OoKa Shumboku, a publisher, who developed
 many shades of pink, ranging from a faint flush to brilliant red, and shades of green from those of the leaves in springtime to the green of the deep sea

THE MEANEsr SORT OF swrNDLE

Fro mthe Philadelphia Public Ledger
 The prison sentence of three years just meted out to the head of a real estate company in New York will be received with peculiar satisfaction by those who insist on fair play for the poor in the slow grinding mills of justice.
 This man was mean enough to take the small savings of those who, crowded in tiny city tenements, longed for the grass and flowers and fresh air of the country side Instead of eligible building sites when the money changed hands they found themselves in the possession of titles to swamps or sands where only the scrub oak could grow.
 Not long ago a man bearing name horored in literature paid the penalty for misrepresentation of the value of miring stock. Too late deluded investors Of slender means found that there is many a slip betwixt the prospectus and the ore and all that glitters is not precious metal. Peasants of France three decades ago hitched their wagons to the rising star of de Lesseps and sank thei, hard earnings in the Panama canal. The righteous indignation of mankind is moved against those who live by the practice of deceit upon the credulous ig- norance of "the poor and him that hath no helper.'

A Greater and Better France

Germany's military efficiency has surpassed even the expectations of many pro-Germans. The Kaiser has the greatest fighting machine that ever engaged in battle. And the Ger man soldiers in their loyalty to the fatherland and their intrepidity on the field of war have won the admiration of such observers as have been able to put aside all prejudice.
 But among the allies one nation has not only acquitted itself with military distinction, but has done it without those spectacular effects that some critics had looked for. France has made a splendid record tRps far; and there has been no vaingloty. French soldiers have been brave, and French civilians have displayed rare pois' and wonderful human sympathy. And best of all is the conlposur' and the hopefulness with which tn French people look to the future. l has been cruel war, but France conscious of having done her duty feels that she will come out of )th' conflict better and stronger natiol than ever before,

 New York World: Most of the terri tory of Belgium is occupied by the Ger man army. Many of the people Of the Kingdom are objects of charity. The invaders are levying a tax of ss,o0o,ooo a month upon the country. There IS reason to believe that they have also communicated food, cattle and other supplies.
 For months past this helpless popula- tion has been fed principally by the benevolence of the United States and Great Britain The British foreign of flee now informs Chairman Hoover of the relief commission that until the Germans cease their levies in Belgium, thus diverting charity to the support of their armies in the field. it will make no further contributions for the relief of the destitute.
 Noting these tragic facts, wsich fur nish their own commentary, MT. Hoover says he can do nothing now but appeal to the mercy of the people in every land.v Evidently he does not mean every land. He means such lands as are not engaged in the most brutal of all wars, and in particular he does not mean the land which, no matter how the conflict ends, is to be judged forever by the record that it has made and is making in Belgium.
