WAR MAY LAST
ANOTHER YEAR

With the approach OF winter conditions
this officer recalled his prediction and
speaking of the situation today he said !:
I'VE know that the German re-
sources were and what ours were and
the time required to force a decisive
victory for our arms. is a matter Of
calculation"
German prisoners taken during the
summer invariably spoke of peace be-
ing certainty in the autumn. They
regarded the Somme front as a final
effort OF the Allies for decision and
that after it peace would be made.
Their tone has been entirely different
Of late. They recognize that it Is a
fight to the finish between the man
powers and resources OF the two foes
and that an ultimate decision will
come from the fearful attrition on the
western front, which now will allow
no itnermission until the end.

DENVER SOCIETIES ALL
DENoUNcE STATEMENT

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 19.-Members
and officials of the national patriotic
societies in Denver expressed emphatic
condemnation OF Secretary OF War
Bakers statement regarding the con-
tinental army.
"As president of the Washington
Lincoln Memorial Association. and
knowing that voice the sentiments
OF many thousand members" said DR..
Clarkson N Guyer, of the Sons OF the
American Revolution, IL resent the
remarks OF Secretary Baker. To say
that the patriots were as bad char
acters as the Mexlcans Is to voice the
sentiments Of the Tories who desired
TO ruin their own country"
Historians Give Views.
Or. Shaw Duncan, professor Of Iiis-
tory at Denver University, pronounced
the statement OF Secretary Baker ''an
unwarranted exaggeration." The SOL
der OF the American revolution was
a man of much higher type than the
Mexican of today. DR.. Duncan thought.
Q. @. Eckhardt, professor OF history
at the University of Colorado, said:
I'VE cannot deny that there were acts
OF vandalism on the part Of the Amer
lean soldiery, but they were not OF a
nature to place them on level with
the barbarism that prevails in Mex
ico."

 Cervantes' end came after he had made a surprise attack south of Cruces on a detachment of engineers repairing the motor truck road. He was beaten back and pursued into the hills by the engi- neers, who had been reinforced by de- tachment of the Seventh infantry.
 When the enga cement began the ban dts outnumbered the Americans two to one there being 20 of them. The en- gagement lasted almost an hour, with a hot interchange of bullets. Then rein- forcements from the Seventeenth came in sight and the bandits broke for the hills.
 Private George A. Hullett was the hero Of the fight. Bullets from his rifle laio low both of the bandits killed
 Cervantes' home was i'll Namlquipa He has been thorn in the side of the army of northern Chihuahua ever since the expedition, as he had succeeded ir sharp practices in avoiding persistent cavalry searches His death probably means the breaking up of the Villa ma chine in this section.
