HOLD THE FORT

Mrs. Mary McNulty last Saturday
met the editor Of the Post on the
street and gave him the once over be-
cause of recent article in this paper
concerning her demands On the county Y
commissioners for damages for right
of way through her land for the Red
Canon road which is very much needed
by the settlers in the Spring valley
country.
The Post has no disposition to be
unfair with anyone and therefore we
are willing to give Mrs. McNulty IS
version Of the matter.
"I insist that I have been very rea-
sonable with the commissioners and not
unfair and exacting as everyone must
infer from the reading of your former
article. Last year the commission oners
wanted right Of way through my
ranch and gave them a strip of land,
under the Glenwood ditch and inside
my fence, free Of cost.
"The land the commissioners are
now seeking title to is above the ditch,
but I am not sure but I would be about
as well of if all my land were above

JUNIoR-sENIoR BANQUET

Tonight at the Williams the annual
Junior banquet to the senior class and
faculty of the Garfield County High
school will take place. The attractive
dining rooms will be ample to accom-
modate the forty-seven guests and this
gathering will no doubt be a memorable
one as three of those to be present
will leave Monday for Denver to enlist
in the United States navy. 1t is for
this reason the banquet was held a.
an earlier date. Mirth and witticism
will fill the evening, but the light hearts
will grow serious when hands meet
in farewell to the boys who are to
buckle on the armor for home, stats
and native land. These are Douglas

AN UNFORTUNATE

W. P. Quaintance, who came from
Leadville couple of weeks ago, is not
mentally responsible for his acts ow-
ing to long illness and has been caus-
ing some trouble to store keepers by
ordering furniture, books and all lines
Of goods. He has heretofore borne an
an excellent reputation and is Moose
in good standing. Louis Schwarz has
known the man about 40 years and
speaks we'll of his character. Among
the many erratic things he has dore
here was to wire for sister in Denver
telling her to "come at once as he had
plenty of money and a fine home for
her." both statements being absolutely
incorrect as Quaintance is without
means, which fact she learned on ar
irving, and it has been necessary for

Rosy WINS FIRST BLOOD

Last Tuesday and Wednesday was
heard in the district court the ono
warranto case brought by Theodore
Rosenberg against A. J. Dickson to
test the latter's title to the office Of
irrigation division engineer. = u = g
The case revolves around the ques.
tion as to whether the civil service ac:
protects one who has never taken q
civil service examination but who
holds by appointment under the old
law before civil service became effec-
tive. Rosenberg claims that notwith.
standing he had never, up to the time
of Dickson's appointment, taken the
civil service examination he was new
ertheless protected in an office which
he had held for more than year long
er than the time mentioned in his Ger.
tificate Of appointment. Dickson
claims that Rosenberg's time having
expired he was simply holding over as
a defacto officer until his successor
was appointed and qualified and as
soon as he tDickson) was appointed
and qualified, Rosenberg was no long
er in office. The court sustained Ros-
enberg's contention.
Although in quo warranto proceed
ings the law places the burden of
proof upon the respondent to show by
what right he claims title to the Of.
flee, Judge Shumate refused to allow
Dickson to introduce record evidence,
either from the governors office, the
state engineers office or the office Of
the civil service commission, in proof
of his appointment and issued an order
of custer against Dickson on the plead
ings.
This is by no means a final deter
mination of the case and Mr.. Dickson
will go right along with the work un-
til further action is taken.

Paris, April 19-" Everywhere sue.
cess,' was the epitome of today's Of,
fetal statement, detailing the continued
sweep forward of General Nivelle IS
armies.
The great German defensive domin-
ating Nauroy and Moronvilliers were
captured in this sweep east of Rheims.
Smashing blows north of Vailly an
Ostel gained more ground northeast Of
Scissors. Desperate German attempts
to create diversions elsewhere along
the front failed. All German counter
attacks on ground newly wrested from
their hands in the st. Quentin-to-
Rheims front signally failed. Nearly
100000 Germans were hurled against
the French last night in one sector
alone-between Siossons and Auberine
but the twelve fresh divisions, traIs-
ferred from some other front, were
signally defeated, and two more bat
tories were captured by the French.
Today there is fighting along almost
the entire French front. Around st.
Quentin, General Nivelle reported great
activity Of artillery. It may possibly
be the precursor of another tremendous
GUS infantry assault there, which will
sweep the town-long menaced-into
French hands. .,, ....
In the Coucy forest, farther south
in the bend of the fighting front, the
statement reported patrol fighting. Still
farther along, north of Aisne, tn"
French commander in chief reported
"further progress north of Vailly
and Ostel. In approximately the same
sector, in the region of Courtecon, due
south of Laon, German machine gun
attack was checked and stopped.
BATTERIES CAPTURED
Farther southeast, on the Vauslerc
plateau, Nivelle described a German
attack of the most violent character,
launched Wednesday night at o'clock.
It was checked in bitter fighting. The
assaulting waves were forced to stop
before they reached the French lines.
In the Champagne, Nivelle reported
his troops as "pursuing their success

REVISE PLANS FOR
TRAINING WAR ARMY
SIXTEEN CANTONMENTS INSTEAD
OF THlRTY-TWO WILL BE
LOCATED.
|PLACE MANY UNDER CANVASS
Shortage of Funds, Material, Labor
and Transportation Facilities Caus-
ed the Number of Cantonments to
Be Reduced.

Washington.-Important revisions in
the plan for training the war Army
have been made by the War Depart
ment, which announced that the half
million men to be called to the colors
in September will be concentrated in
sixteen cantonments instead of thirty
two, and that many of the forces prob
ably will be put into tents instead of
wooden barracks.
Lack of funds, material, labor and
transportation facilities, Secretary Ba-
ker said, caused the decision to reduce
the number of cantonments. The lar
ger number seemed practicable, but
that would have made a much greater
demand on the overtaxed resources
at the Departments command.
Although the change will upset all
the tentative plans for camp locations
made by department commanders, it
is not expected to delay beyond Sep
TENDER 1 the mobilization of the great
draft Army. Four of the sixteen an
torment sites provided for under the
new pldll dill udNc DSSll oClSClSo,
and choice of the others is expected
soon. Secretary Baker indicated that
building would proceed as rapidly as
possible. The four sites selected are
at American Lake, Wash; Atlanta,
Ca: Ayre, Mass, and Wrightstown,
New Jersey.
A more plentiful supply or canvas
than expected made it possible to put
some Of the troops under tents. Most
of the tents used probably will be
placed at Southern camps.
In making the announcement, Sec
rotary Baker said also that forces in
| excess of those which could be cared
for in the sixteen cantonments would
be placed under anvas This was
| taken as referring to National Guard
divisions, although the Militia Bureau
has received no instructions in this
regard.
There Is no indication of an inten-
ton to alter the plan for formation Of
sixteen divisions Of the guard. The
questions of filling these up to war
| strength probably will not be settled
until selection of men for military
| service in the draft Army begins.
| Under the law, either the Regulars or
| Guard can be filled up with men from
the selected lists if that is desired.

SPY SYSTEM IN NEW
YORK IS UNCOVERED
GERMAN SPIES SHIPPED HIGH
POWER WIRELESS OUTFITS
TO MEXICO.
MAIL WAS SENT TO GERMANY
1t Was lntimated That Through This
System Germany Learned Of Ameri-
can Destroyer Fleet Movement to
England.

New York.-Evidence that two COM
plete high-powered wireless insta1la-
tions, assembled here nom various
sources, were shipped piecemeal to
Mexico, supposedly for use of a Ger
man spy system in this country, vas
unearthed in connection with the ar
rest of three men on charges of con-
spring to send mail containing mill
tary information, surreptitiously from
the United States to Germany through
members of Norwegian ship crews.
1t was intimated by the United
States Commissioner, before whom the
alleged plotters were arraigned, that
it was through their instrumentality
that advance news of the impending
arrival in England of the American
destroyer fleet was sent to GERMANY
before it even became generally known
in this country that it had sailed.
With only a scratching of the sur
Governments hands, indications have
been found that the secret mail sys-
TEN was operated both ways between
the United States, Germany and Mex
leo. Several hundred letters have
been seized, written in English, Ger.
man and Spanish, and some apparent
ly in code. They are being translated
in the expectation that they will open
the way to full revelations of the al
legged spy plot which is said to point
to other persons besides those under
arrest.
The prisoners are Harry F. PERISH
and Irving 3onaparts. both said to be
American born, employed by a Ger
man electrical company here, and Axel
3. Melcher. said to be a naturalized
citizen from Sweden.

MEMORY OF THEIR FALLEN

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. veterans,
here for their annual reunion, went to
Arlington and paid tribute to the
South's dead. President Wilson and
Mrs. Wilson attended the services,
but the president did not speak. He
received an ovation from the old sol
diers, however, and many shook hands
with him.
The exercises held in the shadows
of the monument erected to the Con-
federate dead by the women of the
Co~nfederacy, were opened with the
sound of the assembly call by the
Marine Band and the singing of the
"Star Spangled Banner" by a special
choir, the old soldiers and the audience
helping to swell the refrain.
Flowers were strewn on the graves
and special services we're held at the
tomb of the unknown dead and the
grave of Gen. Joe Wheeler.
Gen. Bennett H. Young, past COM
mander-in-chief of the veterans, and

of a Work Unfinished, Says Presi-

WASHINGTON. - Americas response
to the call of liberty in the struggle OF
the world will hold the attention OF
all mankind, President Wilson said in
a Memorial Day address at Arlington
National Cemetery. In observing the
day, he said, the natural touch of sor-
row is tinged with reinsurance be-
cause, knowing how the men of Amerl-
ca have responded to the call OF lib
erty there is perfect assurance that
the new responses "Will ONE again
in equal measure, with equal majesty"
The President spoke in the natural
amphitheater in the cemetery at a
meeting arranged by the local G. A.
R., and attended by a crowd of thou
sands. He said he did not pity the
men in whose honor the ceremonies
were held.
II envy them, rather" he went on,
because theirs is a great work of lib
erty accomplished, and we are in the
midst of a work unfinished, testing our
strength where their strength has al
ready been tested" The time for
action, he said, has come, "and in the
providence of God, America will come
once more to have an opportunity to
show to the world that she Was born
to serve mankind"

WAR TAX BILL NOW
ASSUMING Definite SHAPE

Washin gton.-The war tax bill as
the revision of the 81, 800, 600, 900 house
measure by the senate finance com.
mittee.
After working all through the holi.
day with treasury experts, recapitu.
lating the committee srevision, Chair,
man Simmons announced that as re.
drafted, the estimated revenue to be
brought in by the bill now totals ST.
$4,000 900. A bill a~ggregating slight
ly above 81, SOC, 900 900 now is gener-
ally expected.
In resuming it's conference the
committee took up minor tax sched-
ules, having decided virtually all ba-
sic changes. A few mor days will be
required to make technical changes,
and Senator Simmons hopes to be
abe to introduce the re-drafted meas
ure in the Senate by the middle of
next week for immediate considera-
ton. Present indications are for
unanimous support by the Republicans
as we'll as the Democrats on the COM
mittee.
On the basis of the committees
work thus far, income, exces profits,
liquor, tobacco, special excise, or con-
sumption and stamp taxes are the
principal revenue sources. The COM
mittee has definitely cut out of the
house bill tax levies aggregating $685.
100000.
Of the principal house schedules
not yet passed upon, it was reliably
stated that the committee probably
will adopt or but slightly change the
axes on liquors, wines, freight, e6-
press, transportation, Pullman SER
vice, pipe line, amusements and tele-
graph and telephone messages.
