If the Germans make good their
threat and attempt to smash through
the line OF the allies to the channel
or upon Paris after taking Warsaw
the greatest slaughter ever witnessed
by man will occur. The kaiser Will
meet new Waterloos. This Is the
opinion of every officer in the French
army, from generals down, with
whom / talked on tour Of the bat
tlefronts on the anniversary OF the
first year Of the war They declare
they only fear the Germans will nor
try, knowing such an attempt would
play into the hands of the allies. Fer
the Germans, they say, It will be tho
beginning of the end.
such a drive will be predoomed to
failure one officer said. Then.
weakened by frightful losses, tbs
Kaiser's legions will be at the mercy
OF the allies. who. with time working
to their advantage. have from the
first conserved their troops to this
and. and largely thanks is due che
genius of General Joffre."
Not only was this assertion made
repeatedly but with a frankness
which startled one who was aecus-
toned to the old time secrecy Of the
early days of the war French Off
GERS, with General Joffre's permis-
sion. threw cards upon a table, prov
/ ing at least to a layman that the only
| disaster which awaits a new drive on
Paris or Calais is to the Germans.

First Plans for
Happy Canyon are
Made Last Night
GENERAL COMMITTEE DISCUSS
rs FEATURES FOR ATTRAC-
TION THIS YEAR.

First plans for the staging Of
Happy Canyon during Roundup
week were. laid last evening when the
general committee. appointed from
the Commercial association, met for
organization and assignment OF du-
ties. Different departments were
placed in the hands of different COM
mlttemen who will be permitted to
choose such assistants as they may
need.
The heads Of the sub-committees
are practically the same as last year.
j. Y. Tallman win be chairman OF
the general committee with w. l..
Thompson as chairman. The
program of entertainment which will
each evening proceed the opening of
the town" will be in the hands Of
Roy Raley, Frederick Steiwer an
Lee d, Drake. John F. Robinson
and DR., D. \. Reber will superin-
tend the games and other amuse
ments of the Red Dog saloon and
George C. Baer Osmer E. Smith and
Royal NJ Sawtelle will provide some
side-show entertainment. which Is
to he a new feature Of the show this
year.
G. A. Hartman, w L. Thompson
and c. X. Crauston compose the fl
nancial committee and each will
have other duties, too. Mr.. Hart
man will have charge of the usher
ing and seating. Mr.. Thompson will
be general supervisor of the buildings
and Mr.. Cranston will look after the
admissions and the simulated cur
rency. The commissary department
will be in the hands Of Mark Patton
and Harry d: Gray. Clarence s
King and Merle r Chessman viii
look after the publicity end of the
show. Roy Alexander will be in con-
trol of the big dancing pavilion and
DR.. Guy L. Boyden will be the "king-
pin of the Saloons" and other re-.
lreshment booths
Another committee meeting will
he held on Friday evening of next
week. at which time the assistants
in the various departments will be
named So large is the undertaking
and so many the departments that a
great deal of assistance will be me-
cessary from among the business
men and high school boys.
May Have Fake Coins.
One main point of discussion last
evening concerned the proposal to
have imitation coins as the medium
of exchange this year instead of the
simulated currency of last year,
Greater convenience in handling was
urged in favor Of the coins and also
superior value as souvenirs. How
ever their cost may bar their adop.
ton. A committee was named to
secure prices on aluminium or other
metal coins. In the event that coins
are not used, currency similar to that
of last year printed in gold rather
than green, will be used, The pub
licity committee was authorized to
use the 1914 currency in advertising
the 1915 Happy Canyon"
A number Of new features, such
as side shows, additional game rooms,
town election. were discussed but
nothing definitely decided upon. An
however, were united in their deter.
mlnation to eclipse the great success
made out of the first show last year
