Denver this city will be the active
head and center of the vast work OF
the reclamation of the West. For de-
velopment. construction and accom-
plishment in irrigation and land inn

the services headquarters in this city
as an important acquisition and impe-

1t is estimated that the change in
the service will mean that approxi-
mately 100 employees will be trans

the new administrative headquarters
Their arrival and work here will
mean incidentally that the supplies
for the departments work will be
bought largely in Colorado
One of the projects which the rec

ters Unfair and "indefensibIe."
New York.-John D. Rockefeller.
Jr., gave out statement in reference
to the correspondence between him
self and L. NJ. Bowers. chairman of
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company,
which was made public by Frank P.
Walsh, chairman of the United States

Mr.. Rockefeller characterized as
false the conclusion which Mr.. Walsh
drew from the correspondence.
Mr.. Rockefeller asserts that Mr..
Walsh had drawn differences without
ascertaining whether they were cor
rect, proceeding which is wholly
indefensible.",
He said further that he would be
glad to appear to give additional tes-
timony before the commission at any
time, ''for we are desirous that the
public shall have all the facts"

Reporting on the battle in Flanders
Sir John French gays:
Our operations in conjunction with
the French have definitely stopped the
German attack, marking the conciu-
sion OF another German attempt to
break through the allied lines around
Ypres and along the User canal, which
brought about one OF the most san
culinary battles of the war. This. how
ever" he says, only brings to an end
the frat phase of the battle. for the
allies have yet to win back the
ground which the lost In the great
German sweep. For this purpose they
are now delivering counter attacks
against the German lines
Only at one place. Steenstraate.
have the Germans managed to keep
their footing on the western bank of
the canal. while to the north of Ypres
the positions remain much as they
were. the allies making no claims to
an advance there and the Germans re-
porting that all the British attacks
have been repulsed
To hold these lines. the Germans
have brought up further reinforce
.ments. and Belgium. behind them, has
been :denuded OF troops. The towns
and villages in Belgium are being
guarded by only a handful of sentries.
Fighting also continues in Cham
pagne, where the Germans make
claim to the capture Of a strong
French position. in the Argonne and
the Woevre, where the French say
they are progressing. and in the
vosges, where both sides claim to be
in possession Of ns-Weilerkopf,
IL is probable that this mountain
which commands the plains of Alsace
has changed hands several times; this
would account for the contradictory
reports.
