VIZ HEN THE WAR WILL END.


w HEN THE WAR WILL END.
w The Literary Digest has quered all the leading
newspapers of Europe regarding the prospects for peace
and there is uniform refusal to recognize the end of the
war This is equally true in England, France,
Russia, Austria and Germany. Now comes Roy w. How
ard president of the United Press who just home from
Europe and thinks possible the war will last five years
AS the effect of the war has now reached the secon-
dairy period in which millions of money is being poured
into America for supplies the condition of this country
must steadily improve but the cost to the world in the
event of SO long struggle is terrible to contemplate
A United Press dispatch thus reviews Mr.. Howard's
opinions
All Europe recognizes that the great war
has developed something new in hstory-the
siege of a nation-and has resolved itself into an
endurance contest of indeterminable length. An
end of the war in 1915 is generally regarded as
too remote for serious consideration. The United
States will eventually have the greatest opport-
tunity in the history OF the world to act as peace
maker-unless that opportunity is killed by i'll
advised, premature peace talk at this time.
The above is the belief of Roy w. Howard,
president of the United Press, who returned to
New York today after three months tour of
the United Press bureaus and field stations in
England, Germany Russia, France, Belgium and
Italy. During his tour, Howard visited the front
and the foremost trenches of both the German
and Allied armies, and was given exceptional op-
portunities for first hand observation of condi-
tions that existed at the opening of the spring
campaign.
'Belligerents and neutrals in Europe have
adjusted their International, commercial and
cial--on the basis of an indefinite war" he said.
"They have eliminated every consideration
contingent upon early peace. With this point Of
view, Europe-eSpecally France and England
is dumbfounded at Americas insistent peace talk
and her reluctance to accept the situation as it
exists and to readjust business accordingly. Eu-
rope has accepted the worst as probability
of from two to five years-and at the same
time is prepared to be happily surprised should
the trouble terminate earlier.

Upper Ralston.

Ponsford & Newell are still
breaking up large tracts of land
on Upper Ralston which they in
tend seeding. to winter wheat.
They already have seeded a
large acreage to spring wheat
and oats and the face of the
country near the foothills is TAX
ing on a look of civilization and
prosperity. This land is all sus-
ceptible of being irrigated from
their reservoir which contains
about 500 acre feet of water at
this time.
The commissioners have been
petitioned to relocate the road
south of Upper Ralston and place
it on the section lines. 1t would
reduce the grade very materially
and as it is now located over the
historic Flynn HILL" it divides
some of the land now owned by
Ponsford & Newell.

EDITOR ARMADA ENTERPRISE

EDITOR ARMADA ENTERPRISE
Dear Sir:-I intended calling
on you before | left and having
the Enterprise come to our new
address but was so rushed | did
not get around to it, so now we
have missed three papers and
can't afford to miss any more.
We loaded our car at Rslston
on the Moffat road May 10 and
II and they picked US up on
Wednesday morning, May IL, at
6 O'Clock. We had a fine day to
cross the divide, clear and warm
with scarcely any wind. Arriv-
ed at Craig, Thursday at
O'Clock on time and everything
came thru in fine shape. Staked
our tent in the outskirts of Craig
and close to the stock yards so
we would be handy to water and
corrals, and then unloaded our
car. Next day hauled lumber to
our places, which are four miles
south of Craig, to build US a lit
tie shack. Moved out right a.
way and now we call it home.
We like it over here fine only the
wind blows a little too much.
Pasture is good and wheat looks
fine. We are turning sage brush
over every day getting ground
ready for fall wheat. The river
valleys on this side are certainly
beautiful and especially the hay
land but the mountains for seem
cry are nothing to be compared
to the mountains on the eastern
slope.
Now Mr.. Editor, | didn't in
tend writing a letter for | don t
know that it will be of much in
terest to you or any one else, but
the Enterprise is interesting to
US for we still feel interested in
Arvada and its surroundings, so
please don't let US miss any more
copies.
Yours with best wishes for
success,
A. Musser,

Miss Roberts al
the Denhan1 Theatre

Critics unanimously proclaim
Florence Roberts an emotional
actress whose abilities are uneX-
celled on the stage today. The
Denham management introduc.
ing this brilliant woman to their
patrons scored a triumph indeed
for she shines radiantly at all
times.
The Strength of the Weak
the play to be presented next
week is very fetching. 1t is a
drama in four acts and was writ
ten by Miss Charlotte Thompson.
This is the skeleton of it:
The proposition is bit strong,
it takes a pretty competent plead
er to convince one that the girls
side is the right one to hold, but
Miss Roberts does this very thoro-
ly. The play has strength and
sincerity. Miss Roberts is pos
sessed of a strong magnetic pow
err, coupled with thoro knowledge
of stage technique and tradition.
Some lively dialogue takes place.
One scene representing the after
theatre chat of a party of matinee
girls is positively delicious.
Miss Roberts will be supported
by Carl Anthony, and the full
force of the Denham company
which is without an exception
competent and satisfactory, for
week after week collectively, and
Individually they receive much
popular appreciation.
That the play will be staged
artistically and consistently goes
without saying for Manager
Woodward truly eXcells in stage
settings. Some effective and ele-
giant costumes will also be worn
all of which argues harmony.

Stem Blight OF Alfalfa.

AS a result of the freezing wealth
err which has continued late into
the growing season this year, we
may expect to have a rather Sc
we're attack of stem blight on the
alfalfa. The disease usually ap-
pears from the middle of May to
the first of June and can be easily
recognized from the following de-
scriptions: The stems appear
watery, semi-transparent in. the
early stages, and have a yellow
ish, olive-green color which soon
changes to amber, due to the APP.
pearance and subsequent drying
Of a thick, clear exudate. This
excretion gives the stems a shiny
or vanished aspect, and a slight
ly rough feel to the touch. These
stems blacken in six to eight
weeks, become very brittle and
are easily broken, which fact
makes it almost impossible to
handle the crop without on i'm
mense amount of SCATTERING.
The disease seems to run it's
course with the first cutting, and
is not seen again until the next
year.
The cause of the blight is a
germ which enters the stem thru
riffs which have resulted from
freezing.
AS a means of cor troll. we rec
ommend that the frosted alfalfa
be clipped. with the mower set
low, as soon as it is reasonably
certain that the danger from late
frosts is past. This will rid the
plants of diseased portions. and
afford an opportunity for the ear
ly growth of a new cutting. If
this is done in time. the regular
number of cuttings should be Sc
cured with little or no loss in ton
mage. Walter G.. Sackett, Colo.
