WOUNDED THREE TIMES,
HE WANTS REVENGE

LONDON, June 8. = Introducing
Mr.. Harry McMichael of Augusta, Ga.
Mac has been strafed thrice by the
Kaiser s missels, but he hasn't taken
he count yet and all he wants is an
Jther shot at spiked helmet.
Mac learned the game in the Sec
ond United States cavalry. He joined
the Fifteenth Canadian Battalion in
June 1915. A machine gun bullet hit
lis leg in the fall of that year. Back
from the hospital, shell fragment
1icked his brow as he went lover the
.op" in a charge.
Back once more from "blightay''
Mac took stretch and yawn in
view of the German trenches and q
bullet bored his jaw, removing five
teeth. Today, in the hospital, this
soldier of the south is just getting OF
ais feet again. He wants to join the
Americans when they arrive-and his
ear is eager for the welcome sound OF
Dixie"

Posey and Polk Stirring up
Renegade Piutes

The renegade Utes, who refused to
st:,v on the reservation to which they
we're sent after the scarp few years
ago, but returned and made them
se,ves quite at home in spite of the
orders of the government, have again
entered upon terrorizing campaign,
with the result that the residents of
Montezuma creek have fled and are
camping in McElmo canon. We are
told that James Hamilton was COM
PEELED to leave his sheep and take ref
uge with the rest. These Indians are
riding about in bands, fully armed
and will have no talkfest with anyone.
They are led by Polk and Posey us
usual, and from present appearance
there will have to be a repetition of
the work done few years ago when
Joseph Akin lost his life 1t is said
the cause of the demonstration is the
objection to registration. The one
thing necessary in the whole matter is
to corral these two and send them to
Fort Leavenworth. While these two
trouble makers are living and have
access to the rest Of their tribe there
will be no settled peace. AS it is the
lives OF the settlers are now endan-
gered and none now dare cross Mon
tezuma creek. Uncle Sam will prob
ably do the work more thoroughly this
time, says the Montezuma journal.

A LIBERTY LOAN MESSAGE
TO AMERICAS WOMEN
(By Mrs. Antoinette Bunk)

The purpose of the Liberty Loan is
to give funds to the government so
that It can conduct this war for Lib
erty and Democracy in an efficient
manner. The quicker this money is
supplied, the quicker will come the
end of the war with its consequent
saving of human life. The denomi-
nations of the bonds are as low as
$50 and the payments are easy. A
subscriber can pay cash if she wants
to, but she does not have to. A Lib
erty Bond should be in every home.
Because so far we have been re-
mote rom the scene of war, we are
inclined, like the foolish ostrich, to
hide our heads in the sand, not realiz-
ing, not believing, closing out eyes to
the actual threats of danger that are
here. No man liveth TO himself alone
and the time is here when no nation
liveth to itself alone. We are bound

M in the warp and woof Of nations,
a part Of the fabric. The welfare Of
one is the welfare Of all.
The gigantic struggle that has been
going on in Europe for almost three
years is not struggle to settle
boundaries. not to gain revenge for
old disputes.
1t is a war to establish the right
to life and liberty. 1t is war against
the creed of hate. 1t is a war in de
fense of a weak people. 1t is pro-
test against the sayagery that sent
the Lusitania to the bottom.
1t is our notice served upon the
world that the high seas are free to
the world. 1t is a notice to the world
chat we and our neighbors in this
hemisphere will not tolerate that the
oppressor's foot be set upon our
shores. 1t is for the honor and safe

Tree home for our children. The only
nation under the sun which was born

IF democracy to the uttermost parts
Of the earth.
AS women have always helped

the war of righteousness upon which
America is now emerged shall result

season is somewhat late. Wheat and
Italia are in fine condition and the
farmers report crops generally doing
unusually well altho little behind
The normal owing to the constant but
regularly cool weather.
The party from this section arrived
1t Marvel in due time and were met
by many of the hospitable citizens of
that section. Every attention was
given them. Nothing was overlook
ed. The Indications were that Mar
vel is a busy, thriving place with
everybody in good humor.
From the homes came the good
people as per schedule to transact
their regular business and add many
new members to their local grange.
There we saw all of the old-timers OF

sion for the transaction of regular
business, after which an open meeting
was held. The first number on the
program was a good social chat all
round. Then the Master of the even

nounced that the bachelors of the
community would serve ice cream and
cake. Everybody took part in this
number Of the program while the So

Mr.. Barr stated that there were sew
eral visitors from different sections Of
the county who would be called upon
Fort Lewis school was called upon
she replied with the rendition of
very interesting recitation which
brought forth the hearty applause of
the audience. Following this the writ
er was called upon for few remarks
after which County Agriculturist g.
D. Smith responded to the call of the
chairman in very interesting brief
address in which he complimented
very highly the citizens of the Mar
vel community for their manner OF
entertainment and their energetic
method of transacting business thru
which they are bringing the Marvel
section TO the front. He spoke of the
possibilities and probabilities of that
community and that the object of
such meetings is to develop the so
eial, the material and the intellectual
interests of the community. He said
that the large number present indi-
Gated that the people of the Marvel
community were alive to progress and
that success would surely be their
portion.
II was developed that the commun-
tiles of the Fort Lewis mesa are CO.
operating to hold a grand Fourth of
July celebration. The communities of
Red Mesa, Marvel, Kline, Breen and
Fort Lewis are getting up big pro-
gram for the Fourth and are extend
ing invitations to all other sections
of the county to come and spend the
day or portion of it with them.
They are anxious that the Durango
Motor Club see that the Marvel cele-
bration grounds be one of the objec-
tive points for that day. They promise
horse, foot and automobile racing,
and all the pleasures that are ordi-
narily enjoyed on such occasions. Let
the people of the county go to Mar
vel on that day and enjoy the occas-
ion and help in making the celebra-
ton a success. Band music and pa
triotic addresses will be chief fea-
lures.

PREPAREDNESS In AIR

The United States has approximate
ly 125 airplanes in the service of the
Army and of the Navy, With. not more
than $50 skilled men in the aviation
section.
The Allied nations have hundreds
of air craft where we have one and
more than hundreds of aviators to
our one skilled airman. Robert E.
Peary of polar expedition fame, in a
recent magazine article, points clearly
to the weakness of the United States
in its preparedness in the air.
If the European war has done moth
ing else, it has made the airplane
the greatest weapon of defense. The
French and English coasts are now
protected by the large seaplanes.
Each war dispatch tells of the work
of the airmen on the Western front
in accommodating, in making maps of
the positions of the enemy and in the
actual bombardment of the trenches.
The airplanes are the eyes of the
army and without them the army is
blind.
An airplane can see submarine
for a distance of sixty feet or more
under the water and can DESTROY il
as soon as it rises to the surface. An
airplane can drop bombs on a be-
sieging fleet off the coast before. that
fleet can get into an action.
An airplane or a feet of airplanes
can be transported by a submarine
and make flights from it into the in
terror of country, trailing behind it
devastation and destruction. A Ger
man submarine could lie in a sell
dom visited spot just outside of New
York harbor, release its planes and
destroy the business district of the
city before its inhabitants would be
aware Of what had happened.
1t is against such attacks that the
United States must prepare. There
must be an aerial division of national
defense just as there is an army for
land protection and a navy for the
protection of the coast.
The United States must learn the
lesson that the Allies have learned
and organize this independent unit.
There are not enough planes now to
equip the men who desire to enter
the service of the United States Gov
ernment as aviators.
lhls war is war of almost dia- |
poiical ingenuity, in which every sci
ence and art known to mankind is
involved in some phase of its pursu- |
anee. 1t is war which has reyolu-
tlonized all forms of warfare and has |
brought the warfare of the air to the |
greatest point of importance.
