- century ago Lieut.. Zebulon
A Montgomery Pike discovered
the mountain which now
bears his name, and, accompanied
by his little band, made a de-
termined effort to reach it's summit.
1t cost him ten days Of marching to
reach it's base, and after laborious
ascent which brought him only to the
crest of one of the nearby mountains,
he was forced to give up the attempt,
predicting in his diary that no human
would ever scale it's rocky. heights.
Thirteen years later, however, DR.. Ed
win James with a portion of the ex-
ploration party under Maj. S. H. Long,
found an easier approach from the
eastern side and after a hazardous
climb reached the summit on July IA,
1919.
Then came the United States gov
eminent engineers who constructed
winding trail from Manitou to the top
of the great mountain and built there
an experimental station that study
might be made Of weather conditions
three miles above sea level. This
led to the building of a carriage road
from Cascade in Ute pass to the top
of the mountain; and almost stimuli
taneously there came the cog railroad.
It was built in 1890, making the ascent
in nine miles from it's Manitou depot.
This is one of the most famous of the
worlds mountain railroads.
And now in 1915 comes the supreme
conquest of the mighty peak. The con-
structive ability of the American en-
gineer has won another triumph, for
since September 1, automobiles have
been travelling on the Worlds High
est Highway" to a point within five
miles of the pinnacle of the mountain;

OF WAR BRIDES AROUSlNG
 KEEN DISCUSSION
Plan Repopulation of War Swept Europe Through
 Loveless Marriages.

England, France. Germany and even little Belgium are beset with the great problem of repopulating their decI- mated male population. What is to be done for the future is a question that has been considered by statesmen, clergy and medical men.
 In the wild race for perpetuation the nations have forgotten eugenics, and patriotism has caused marriages by the thousands in England without love and without thought of future. One press clipping recently noted in cable despatches from London says: s'The war brides were cheered with enthusiasm and the churches were crowded when the large wedding par ties spoke the ceremony in concert : In fact it is reported that, as many as one hundred [ contracting couples, hardly known <to each other before the ceremony, were married in con cert.
 Within a week from the date of marriage the husbands go to the front many of them never to return again. while father1ess children of War Brides and their future welfare ob- sesses the nobility and the nation.
 What becomes of the widows of the soldiers is well expressed in a letter sent out by the American Women S War Relief Fund, and is mist app1ica- ble to war brides of any country. The letter was sent from the battle front by a Red Cross nurse, as an illustra- ton of her many experiences:
 'I saw a bride of four weeks she writes f.the daughter of a prosperous farmer whose husband had been killed in battle. On the day she got that news there was a raid through the little town in which she lived. A slxir- Inish it was called in the official re- ports and therefore unimportant from military point of view
 .ssRrf when fF7a TF7araI1darS Inc village was in ashes and in ashes lay the bodies of the woman's father, her father-in-law, her fourteen and six teen year old brothers, her bed-rfd- compIete-her mother, brought down by stray shot She was left alone. She wore a dress but did not have hat when saw her. She told me her story in a curious, dead, irnpersonal manner, quite detached and disinter- ested. And all the day through her voice never varied from the monotone even when she told me how she prayed hourly that her man might be brought back to her so that he could see the little child tbat was to come.
 It was such a description in the Century Magazine, which attracted the eye of that famous emotional ac- tress. Mime. Nazimova, when khe read War Brides" by Marion Craig Went worth and resulted in Mime Nazinnova creating the role of Joan in that great one-act play that has since electrified the press and pulpit of the United States where it has been shown.
 In New York city whole audiences wept in concert while the theme be- came a topic of editorial comment.
