battle lines in France and Belgium,
and that party in this war which can
put most men in the field, and the
best managed artillery, and can pie
up reinforcements to take the places
of those killed in battle will win. I
have not changed my opinion.
The allies can win if they are suf-
ficently determined. The Germans
are fighting with more determination
than any Of the other nations; they
have been determined from the start.
The British have spent great deal
of time getting ready and suppress
ing local dscord, and are at lest real
ling that they must fight and fight
desperately.
The French have not been saying
much but have been fighting witt
great heroism, which is also true Of
the Belgians, but the desperation il
fighting has rested entirely with tn,
Germans.

PUBLICITY THAT HURTS.

Every one who has any knowledge
Of what is going on in American
newspaper offices knows of the large
amounts of moneys that are being
wasted in the effort to secure free
publicity. The American Publish
ers' association has devoted much at
tention to this subject and publishes
in one Of its bulletins department
under the heading, "Why don't they
pay for it?"
In the great majority of cases the
money that goes for paper, printing
and postage in this way is visited
as well as the money that is pre-
sumably paid for the planning and
the preparation of the publicity cam
paign.
In some cases there is moro than a
negative result, for the effect that is
produced is exactly the opposite of
that which is intended. An interesting
example of this is to be found in the
publicity matter that is now being
sent out presumably in behalf of the
German government. The great ma
jority of American editors are not
only fair minded men, but they are
genuinely concerned to meet the ap-
proval of their readers. There is not
a daily newspaper in the United
States which does not have among its
readers a large number of persons
of German race, and there is not a
daily newspaper in the country that
would wilfuylly misrepresent any fact
that was creditable to the German
cause. There is also large amount
of material which is not carried in
the daily telegraphic news reports
which most American newspapers
would be glad to print, and prop
erly conducted press bureau might of
service both to the American newspa-
per and the German cause, says the
Pueblo Chieftain, which condemns the
New York city German publicity bu-
reau for attempting to misrepresent
facts.

LAME DUCKS ALWAYS FIRST.

The people of Pueblo may kick and
roar but that is going to do them no
good. Lame ducks must be taken care
of and so the administration has
named former Congressman Seldom
ridge as permanent receiver for the
defunct Mercantile National bank 9f
that city. While the money left in
that looted institution is supposed 70
belong to the depositors, yet that is
not the way the administration looks
at matters of this kind. Receiver
ships are just natural pie. Pueblo
has many men who would willingly
have taken charge of that institution,
accepted reasonable compensation for
the services, and devoted their time
and energy to making the assets come
as near balancing the liabilities as
possible. Mr.. Seldomridge is a capa-
BILE man and nothing whatever can be
said reflecting upon his reliability or
integrity, but that is not the point.
When the bank failed Honest John"
was right there on the job to secure
the place for member of tht Ma
lone family, while Senator Charlie
hit the steps of the treasury building
few minutes after His Honesty 70
secure the job for member of his
law firm. Against all this the deposi-
tors of the bank protested They did
not believe that places of this char
acter should be peddled about as pol
itical pie. They asked the appoint
ment of Pueblo men who knew the
situation, but it would appear their
requests were given little attention
and lame duck compensated. How
ever, one must remember that the
Democrats have long been separated
from the pie counter and as they will
be again removed from that financial
luncheon place when the next election
rolls around, we ought not to be.

Kansas has its problem Of the un-
employed. Damp weather has delay
ed harvest several weeks yet the har-
vest laborers are arriving by every
train. Many Of them are penniless.
Not all of them are professional
mootchers. The report was circulated
in the east again this spring that
Kansas would need thousands of har-
vest hands and the farmers would be
willing to pay fabulous wages. Many
men quit factory work to try the
harvest game. Wheat harvesting is
pictured in the east as get rich
quick scheme and appeals to factory
men. Because Of this that state has
been filling up rapidly since May l
with prospective harvest hands. Many
believed they would find work i'm
mediately and did not bring any mon
ey. They are now several weeks from
harvest and have no money. They

SCRAPS OF PAPER AGAIN.

Italy's entrance into this war is just
as much violation of treaty as Ger
many's disregard of the neutrality of
Belgium. In Germany the Italian peo-
pie are now regarded as traitors. Ger
many cannot see the slightest excuse
for ltaly's hostility which they regard
US an act of perfidy.
England, which was very keen on
upholding the sacredness of scraps of
paper where the neutrality of Belgium
is concerned, which neutrality happens
to be greatly to England's advan-
tage, is now perfectly willing to re-
ceive as an ally this latest repudiator
of treaty.
There has probably been nothing n
this war more deliberately selfish
than Italy's course of threatening and
bullying, bargaining with Austria for
a territory and finally tearing up the
treaty of '83, on the flimsy pretext
that Rome had not been properly con-
suited, when Austria declared war
upon Servia. And the thing to re-
member is that in this case the viola
ton of the treaty was not done by
the king but by the people themselves.
1t all goes to show that treaties or
no treaties people and kings alike
will act in accord with their national
prejudices and vital interests. Only
some nations are good at finding
plausible excuses to justify their fail
ure to keep their promises while 9TH
ers are SO naive as to call these
promises Scraps of paper"

"FORGIvING" NEAR wAR-BRIDEs

Foreign governments are about 10

and illegitimate mothers. How noble
Of them! exclaims the Los Angeles
Graphic, and continues: The first
requirement of government official,
apparently, is an utter lack of sense
of humor, otherwise he could never
look his work in the face. After all
kinds of appeals to men to rush TO
arms to serve their countries; with
the throb of drum beats and blare of
trumpets exciting every youthful i'm
pulse to state of frenzy; with the
constant cry heard that the flower of
the country is marching out to perish.
what wonder if thousands of girls not
able to serve by fighting, forbidden
even to go as nurses, should give
themselves to motherhood and their
country's future with the same exalt-
alton that the man feels as he follows
the colors!
According to London dispatch, the
army doctors and clergymen who are
studying" the subject are of the
opinion that the women are attracted
by the physical perfection and trap
pings of the soldiers" Piffle! These
must be the same men who are going
to do the "forgiving" act! Is it not
quite as likely that the woman hardly
sees the personality of the man? He
stands for an IDEAL and brass buttons
have little bearing on the case. 1t

CONCENTRATION.

A centuries old truth has had its
first military application in the pres
ent conflict in Europe. Sir John
French has been able to force the
German defense only with concen-
trated artillery offensive. The death
hail from several hundred guns is
directed at certain point in the foes
entrenchment. When the roar sub
sides and the smoke clears few mo-
ments later, the obstacle has been
completely blotted out. No vestiee
of life remains in that section of the
defense which before had bristled with
guns. 1t is as though giant de-
stroyer had scooped with an iron
hand everything within range.
This military tactic, though, IS
adapted to less sanguinary practice.
Concentration is the fundamental of
success. We only accomplish by the
ratio of our concentration. Industry
gains nothing without concentration
or application, as it is sometimes
termed. In business it means "to
keep your mind on your work" At.
tention to detail, care in doing the
most trivial task and pride in know
ing that you have done the work in
your very best way are form of con.
Concentrated effort Of
man of ordinary talent will advance
him ahead of the brilliant, but unsys-
tematic worker every time.

FACTS ABOUT FARMERS.

Nearly six million dozen eggs were
imported into this country in 1914,
according to Commerce and Navi-
cation of the United States, i014."
Only a million and half dozen were
imported in 1913. OF dried yolks
and frozen eggs there were import
ed in 1913 only 22S,00O pounds, but
in 1914 the importations grew 20
100000, an increase of 1,500 per
cent. Why this increase? In 1913
eggs paid an import duty of five
cents dozen but in 1914 were free.
Yolks and frozen eggs were kept out
by 25 per cent ad valorem duty in
1913, but this was reduced to ten per
cents in 1914.
Some were laid in Germany,
And some in far Japan;
And some were laid in China,
In the days of Genghis Khan.
But whence they came or where
they went,
This thought gives small enjoy
ment,
The hens and roosters in this land
Were robbed of their employment.
Allowing an average per hen of
120 eggs year, the importation Of
these 72,000,000 eggs threw 100000
hens out of work for 1914, or put /,
200, 900 on half time. 1t is danger
Gus to comment on this for fear the
rejoinder of the Democratic party may
be that we are espousing the cause
of the hen rather than that of the
American workingman, and besides
the hens which suffered enforced idle
ness had just so much more time TO
improve their minds in the study of
psychology.

VIENNA AND BERLIN

This is an interesting letter In -.

upon the effect on Berlin of the
Lusitania horror. Tomorrow's
letter will deal more specifical-
cally with the German feeling to-
ward Americans.
BY LAFAYETTE YOUNG.
ROTTERDAM, May 16.-(By
Mail I'VE had heard much about
the Vienna bread ticket and of the
general economy in food practiced by
the Austrians, and at our hotels we
became acquainted with the situation.
Bread tickets were issued each MORN
ing to the guests in the hotels, and
they are supposed to furnish them
with sufficient bread for the day.
The guest exhibits his bread ticket
to the waiter, who tears off three
coupons and brings three slices of
bread.
If the bread were good there would
not be enough of it, but as it is not
good three slices make plenty. On
no other item of food is there any
restriction.
Suspect Americans.
In Vienna the American visitor IL
very much started at and generally
regarded as an object of suspicion. II
he makes the acquaintance of some
of the leading men and becomes thor
oughly well known around the hotel,
announcing his purposes from day to
day in regard to what he Is going
to do and when he is going away,
il helps the situation, while if he is
liberal with his tips his standing is
considerably improved.
l drove over much of Vienna and
saw no improvements in progress. The
people take the war very much to
heart and are touchingly sentimental
in regard to it, but all places of
amusement are open, the streets are
brilliantly lighted at night, and the
high class musical concerts usual at
this season of the year continue to be
in progress.
