LOCAL BOY EXPECTS TO
 SAIL FOR FRANCE SOON
Hubby" Fletcher, With goth Engi- .neers, Writes Friend Here of
 Army Life.

Reed Fletcher, nephew of Mrs Ruth Scokans and Judge w. B. Sor- rells, writes friend here from Wash ington, D. C., where is now stationed as a member of B. company, First Battalion, Twentieth Engineers, that he expects to sail for France. "Tub- by," as he is affectionately known by friends here, seems delighted at the prospect of an early opportunity to get in action against the boches. Mir. Fletcher enlisted several months ago and has been in training. His letter follows:
 "Dear--: don't know wheth- CT l have written you since I enlisted or not. If haven't it isn't because haven't thought of you. How are you and the - company getting along. Me and Uncle Sam are hav- ing 3 dick of time. l have gotten where I like him. At first it was what Sherman said war was, but even if do like it now that is no sign that don't want to come home.
 T am lucky or unlucky, one don't know which. l was in camp down in the. woods on the banks of the peace full Potomac, and suddenly had my dreams (work in the kitches) dis turbed by orders to pack my duds to come to Washington. The First is under Sailing orders, and expects to leave here soon for the port of em- barkation. I'll be durn glad when I get over among the fair damsels, across the seas, but will be doubly glad when l get back with the good looking Arkansas girls.
 "I have been having pretty good time since joining the army, especially on Saturdays and Sundays. We don't have anything from Saturday morn- ing until Monday morning except re-, treat, and we have to answer that unless we have pass.
 Fl started this letter last night, but didn't get to finish, as sergeant came in and wanted some men to go to a church social. So folded writing and went with the bunch. I surely did en- joy it. They served coffee and cakes, and, believe me. Tub was among thoSe present. I drank three cups of coffee and had about six pieces of cake. have learned to not refuse anything to eat since enlisted.
 While am writing about eats l will tell you what we had for dinner today (Thursday): Chicken, potatoes, English peas, bread and butter, and pie Ia mode. But those kinds of meals are few and far between. It tis susually meat and potatoes, with some kind of dessert. I am not fall inr off, but still am not gaining.
 NI can't think of anything else to write, exvept that would like to come homo for . few days before sailing, and nee all the gang again. But that will have to come under the head of hope deferred, l guess. Give my re- gards to all my friends, and write soon to your old friend.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-At the regular monthly
meeting OF the State Board OF Par
dons the board granted an immediate
parole to Peter Wakelin, who was
serving a ten-year sentence on a
charge of holding up a Telluride sa-
loon in 1915. Tony Bertino and San
tiago Tafoya, serving life terms on
charges of murder, were also paroled.
In the case of Benjamin o. Cook,

Charles Cope in Salida in 1909, tho
application was denied. The applica-
tion of Jacob H. Shirley, convicted and
sentenced to life imprisonment in
Brighton for the murder in 1913 of

May Double output of Mint.

Denver-Mint officials received
word from Director of Mints r. b..
Baker in Washington that the capac-
ity of the mint will be greatly in
creased-probably doubled-for the
next several months. No additions to
the machinery, however, will be me-
cessary, it was stated. Local govern
ment officials say that the war has
been responsible for a greater de-
mand for silver coins; in addition, at
this time of each year, when crops
begin to move, the demand for silver
coins is increased at least rs per cent.
The output of the Denver mint is in
creased by operating longer hours
The present eight-hour shift probably
will be doubled. If the present daily
output is not reduced, the 1916 record,
which was the best in the history of
the Denver mint will be outdistanced
in 1917 In 1916 the Denver mint
turned out 1,014,400 half dollars,
3.27O,400 quarters, 264,0O0 dimes,
35,956,000 pennies. Mixed coins of the
value of $666,65O were manufactured

Changes Made in Game Season.

Colorado duck and grouse hunters,
who are oiling up their shotguns pre-
paratory to their annual fall sport, will
have less time in which to enjoy their
sport and will have new bag limits to
observe. Walter B. Fraser state game
and fish commissioner, is advising all
sportsmen that the duck hunting sea-
son opens this year on Sept. 16 and
closes Dec. 81, in accordance with
amendments passed by the last Legis-
lature. Hitherto it has extended from
Sept. l to April 15. Hunters will be
allowed to shoot twenty ducks in any
one day and to have in their possession
only thirty-five ducks at any one time.
The limit on the killing of ducks was
not changed, but that on the killing of
grouse was. The season for hunting
prairie chickens, mountain grouse and
willow grouse opened Sept. is and ex-
tends only to Oct. l. 1t was consider
ably shortened. Hunters will be al
lowed to kill only ten prairie chicken
or grouse in any one day and to have
only fifteen in their possession at any
one time. The state regulations on
duck hunting now conform with the
federal law.

London, Sept. 21.-Two thousand
prisoners have been captured by the
British, according to the official re-
port, in the Flanders drive. Field
Marshal Haig's official report says
that north country and Australian
battalions penetrated the German po-
sitions in the center to a depth of
over a mile and captured the whole of
their objectives. These included Ham,
let, Veldhoek and the western portion
of polygon wood. Further north Zev-
enkote was captured and also a few
guns.
The Associated Press staff cores
pondent at the front declares that if
the British maintain the positions TO
which they have advanced they will
have accomplished one of the most re-
markable and most important achieve
ments in recent months"
Concrete redoubts, hundreds of ma
chine guns, barbed wire entangle-
ments and marshy ground faced the
British in their storming operations,
but the heavy guns had cut down
many of the barriers and the British
went forward steadily.
The offensive, which has the subma-
rine and airplane bases as the object
I've, was launched after weeks of artil-
lery preparation, and the Britons
swept through the German lines rap
Idly, preceded by a curtain of barrage
fire
On the French front no important
fighting is recorded except a German
attack south of Cerny which was re-
pulsed
