BIG EGG ROAST
Attracts Throne to the Frantz Poul-
try Farm Where They Feast and
Enjoy Themselves Hugely

were the guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
o. G. Frantz at most unique fes-
tival that in time bids fair to rival
our big Watermelon day, which
twenty odd years ago did not at
tract the throng that WAS this
year in attendance at the annual
egg roast at the FrantZ Poultry
Farm,
Those who had attended either
OF the two previous egg roasts at
the Frantz Poultry Farm had
some idea of the enjoyment deriv-
able from this event, but even
they were greatly surprised at
the magnitude and consequent in
creased pleasure of this latest fes-
tival.
The arriving visitors were met
at the portals of the Frantz home
by Mr.. and Mrs. Frantz, and were
heartily welcomed and told to
make themselves Mt home and en-
joy the evening, which they one
and all proceeded to do.
The children's playground,
which Osee has fitted up for his
little family with sand piles,
swings, maypole, trapeze and a
"shoot- the-chutes,' came in for
admiring comment and the way in
which they were at once thronged
by the youngsters, who could not
be dragged from these delightful
devices until long after their
usual hour for retiring, attested
how popular and beneficial it
would be for the children if our
public school Fairgrounds were
thrown open to them thruont the
vacation.
So popular Indeed proved the
"shoot-the-chutes" that soon the
older folk were mingling with the
Youngsters and before the even
ing WAS over the matrons and
even the grandads such as The En-
terprise man had tried the delight
full thrills of the slide.
With these amusements, and
games upon the spacious lawn for
the more sedate, guessing upon
the number of eggs that were
going into the roast and admlring
the convenience and up-to date
equipment of the poultry farm,
which under the energetic and
capable management of y. G.
Frantz and his worthy helpinate
has made such remarkable
growth as to be now one of the
largest institutions of its kind in
the state aud one of the show
places of Rocky Ford, the time
sped quickly until the call came
to get in line for the refreshments,
which consisted of hard boiled
eggs, pickles, crackers and Fow-
Ter water, of which everyone par
took with pleasure. There were
1903 eggs in the roast. so that no
one needed to go hungry for ''hen
fruit"
First and second prizes, con-
sisting of boxes of candy, were
offered by Mr.. Frantz to the two
guessing nearest the number of
eggs in the pile, but as no person
guessed the exact number and
nine guessed 1900 the two prizes
were divided by the lucky con-
testants.
Following the feast came a
short program, consisting of songs
by Weist's and the baseball quar-
tets, readings by Misses Evan
geline Hauck and Kathleen Neale,
and then the guests crowded
about the host and hostess to give
hearty expression to their appre-
citation for one of the most enjoy
able evenings they had ever
spent.

Grover Cleveland Stakeholder
Speakers Heard.

The unanimous approval Of the Board
OF Education for the use Of the school
houses of the District as community CEN
tiers with certain limitations was ex-
pressed yesterday by E. II. Daniels,
member Of the board, at a meeting Of
the Community Forum Assembly at
Grover Cleveland School. Mr.. Daniels
said:
while schoolhouses are for the edu-
cation of children and the board cannot
permit anything to intervene, or permit
the use of the personnel,Lth there will be no
difficulty in adults securing the use of
the buildings for community meetings, II
the community as a whole expresses
such a desire"
Nearly two hundred persons assembled
in the basement hall OF the school yes
terday for the second meeting of the as

forum and its organization, introduced
the speakers. These included Represen-
tative Fess. OF Ohio; Justice Siddons, Of
the District Supreme Court, and ellison
Gardner, of the United Press.
Mr.. Tess Speaks.
Asserting that It is unwise for any
member of Congress to discuss in public
speeches problems on which they Will
have to vote and that he would speak
on national defense only on the floor OF
the House, Representative Tess spoke on
this subject only in the abstract
Mr.. Tess expressed surprise that there
should be any opposition to the use OF
the schoolhouses by adults. The truth
In any question" he said, lis evolved by
open discussion, which is the most valu-
able asset to any community"
Speaking of the vocational education
act recently passed by Congress. he said
it is one OF the most important legisla-
tive acts in years. After explaining the
purpose to which the $500. 90 would be
put, he decried the present system which
permits s. per cent Of the children who
enter school to leave at the age Of Is
untitled and unprepared.
Representative Fess freely approved the
question of military training in colleges
and universities. lie Tidiculed the physi-
cal condition Of the 2.C000OJ men who,

asking them to commit suicide" he said.
Judge Siddons lauded the organizatio
and principles of the Assembly Forum
ellison Gardner expressed the hope of
seeing in the near future every school

New YORK, Feb. 20.-All the world is
drifting through New York hotels at
night Money-spending strangers from
all corners of the globe are here to spend
the winter, and Broadway and Fifth
avenue have literally become paved with
gold.
New York, now larger than war depop-
ulated London, was never SO crowded or
so gay. 1t Is estimated that more than
10000 visitors are arriving every twenty
four hours to swell Manhattan's home
population of six millions.
In Manhattan there about 900 hotels,
twenty OF them at least averaging 500
rooms. And they are packed to over
flowing. Many of these hotels are send
ing their overflow to Brooklyn, to Jer-
sey City-even to Yonkers.
Top-notch hotel men declare that never
in the history OF New York has there
been such a rush for accommodations.
The hotels are simply swamped-and still
they come.
Bellboys, walters, doormen and maids
are reaping a golden harvest One bell

DEFENSE HIGHWAY TO
ANNAPOLIS PLANNED
Representative Mudd to Present Bill
Appropriating s250.000 for STRAIT
egic Military Road.

Representative Sydney Z. Mudd, of
Maryland, member of the House Com
mittee on Naval Affairs. will INTRODUCES
in the House today a bill to aid the State
of Maryland to construct r military and
post road to be known as the national
defense highway. connecting the United
states Naval Academy grounds at An
napolis and the National Capital at
Washington. The bill will call for the
expenditure by the Federal government
of $4,000. or so much thereof as may be
necessary, toward the building OF the
national defense highway. contingent
upon the expenditure by the State OF
Maryland Of like amount on the con-
structlon of such a highway.
II am introducing this BILL" said Mr..
Mudd last night, because am con-
WINGED that the time has come when the
Federal government should take a def
mite step in the direction of anticipat ting
the future by building strategic highways
wherever necessary for use by the armed
forces of the country in defending it
against foreign enemy in case of in
vasion or threatened invasion. First OF
ALL the National Capital. the heart OF
the nation, should be provided with every
adequate means OF proper defense and to
prevent a repetition Of what occurred
during the war of 1912. when British
forces landed on the shores OF the Chesa-
peake Bay and marched overland to
Washington, where they burned the
Capitol Building and the White House.
The completion of such a highway will
not only put the Federal Capital into
direct communication with the Maryland
capital. where the United States Naval
Academy is located. but would complete
the third side of the triangle formed by
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
In case of a threatened attack on Annap-
oils troops could be rushed with heavy
guns over the State road from Baltimore
TO Annapolis. and at the same time troops
could be sent out from the National Cap
ital to form a juncture with them in de-
Tending Annapolis. and at the same time
protecting the National Capital.
The war in Europe has taught us the
value OF strategic highways, which have
been used I'm experimenting strategic
railways. The introduction Of the high
powered automobile. of the rapid motor
cycle and OF the armored motor car. as
well as of the caterpillar tractor siege
gun have changed the whole aspect of
modern warfare. and there must be good
roads for the use OF State and Federal
troops In this country If these new and
remarkably efficient implements Of war
are to be successfully used by the United
States In protecting its soil against for
eign invasion"

Spenders from Whole World Flock to
New York, Paving Broadway with Gold

ing and skating pavilions are crowded to
capacity nightly.
The war mlllionaires spend their money
like inebiated sailors. The sons of the
idle rich, the bon vivant, the boulevar-
der and the man about town and the
happers and squads are at their best.
Money is flung to the breezes. Broad
way is now the most profigate street In
all the world.
The thousands OF Americans who have
been living abroad are arriving on every
boat and they like their little old New
York-when there Is not any place else
to visit. 1t amuses them, you know.
Families of soldiers in the English and
French armies are here and SO are the
socialists and anarchists from all over
the world.
Sprinkled among the crowds are the
confidence men, the card sharks and the
men who spend their time on the liners
fleeing the gullible. The adventuresses,
draped in imitation pearls and recklessly
rouged, are seen on every hand.
No one seems to be saving for the
proverbial rainy day. They just spend,
spend and spend. Some day there will be
a reckoning, but just now no one thinks
of the morrow. 1t is a new spirit that
has struck Manhattan.

Summary execution was indeed hard
fate for the three leaders of the revolt in
Ireland, which had its center in Dublin
and which fiourished for just one week.
There is a natural horror against the
taking of human life for any considera-
ton whatever. However. the jealous
men who went into the rebellion for the
liberation OF Ireland knew what their
fate would be in case Of the failure Of
their plans; every person in Great Brit
ain knew what their fate would be; the
whole world knew what their fate would
be under the usual course of procedure
That which the leaders OF the revolt ex-
pected, that which the British public an
ticipated would be the outcome Of organ
lied resistance to the government, that
which the world knows to be the penalty
of such an act that happened. The
British government took the expected
course. The three men who were exc
cuted and the other leaders who were
sentenced to life Imprisonment were Civ
en- the penalty which generally goes with
resistance to government.

PRESENT.
In approaching consideration of the
various questions uppermost between the
United States and Germany it is well to
bear in mind that the United States is
not the final arbiter of international
complications, is not even the sole Judge
Of the conduct OF nations in any stage Of
adjudication. The United States is mere
| " the greatest Of the nations not en-
gagged as belligerents in the great war
now being fought Were the problems to
come at a time when several others OF
the so-called first class powers of the
world were equally at liberty the voice
OF the United States would be no more
influential than that Of any of the other
powers. Indeed, the United States would
be but one OF jury Of nations to decide
the conduct of some alleged offenders Of
the international laws. It simply hap
pens that the United States is the only
first class power which has not become
entangled in the war to the extent of
active participation. Therefore. the
United States aside from its own griev-
ances feels called upon to become an IN
terceder in behalf of the rights Of human
itv.
In the progress Of that intercession the
United States may have. undoubtedly
has, formulated a well-deyeloped idea OF
what the nations at war should do and /
should not do. We Americans feel that
we know just what Germany should do
a regards submarine warfare; and some
Of ms may have some strong ideas re
speeting the blockade which Great Brit
ain has brought to bear on Germany.
Those sentiments Of individual Amer
leans become crystallized into policy OF I
the government: and that policy IS set
before the alleged offending nations with !
an forcefuness and solemnitv. And yet
