ARMY s NAVY
CRUISERS WOULD
PLAY Main ROLE

Under the caption "If Our Navy
Goes TO War;" The Army and Navy
Journal suggests what the navy may
be expected to do In case 1t is called
into service. On this point it says, in
part:
-Just what role the United States
Navy viii play In the event Of q war
with Germany our navy strategists
have undoubtedly determined ere this.
and all possible advantage will be
taken OF such lessons as have been
learned from the present war AS to
what our navy can or can not do, how
ever, there are many interesting ques-
tions. II seems very certain that our
battleships in the event of war will
get little OF no opportunity to show
their qualities at first, and they would
most probably remain safe in a harbor
behind mine fields awaiting an emerg.
ency demanding their presence on the
high seas.
$50 long as the German high sea
fleet Is bottled up in its own waters
by the British fleet there seems no
reason to assume that the situation In
this respect is going TO change, and as
the great main British fleet can more
than take care of the Germans, our
hattleships would hardly be called
upon to seek the German fleet, or per-
form patrol duty along our coasts or
on the high seas, and make themselves
food for German submarines.
sIt Is known that the Germans for
the last two years have been turning
their attention to the construction of
lighter craft, such as submarines and
seagoing torpedo boat destroyers and
light cruisers of new and improved
types, and less attention has been paid
to the construction of big capital ships.
What our navy then will be called
upon to meet In the event of war will
be the submarine menace to our ship
ping at sea and along our coasts. This
work will require many fast torpedo
boat destroyers and fast submarine
chasers. well armed, for 1t may be
safely assumed the Germans are put,
ting guns of powerful ealibre on the
new craft. To protect our commerce
on the high seas will be the role of
cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers.
: Some Of our submarines, with the
skill and daring for which our officers
and seamen are noted. may make their
mark, and some Of the light ships
would help in patrol work. II convoy
Is necessary, IL viii be done with our
lighter craft. We therefore see mol
particular role for the battleship, ex-
cept as reserve force to meet the
German high sea fleet in case that
fleet ever gains the high seas, or per
haps in bombarding some naval base.
which seems very unlikely"

DEMANDS FOR COPPER FROM EUROPE

/ the sellers, are more cautious about
letting the metal 60. In the import
ant trade circles improved conditions
are reported. While II Is admitted
that there are practically no inquiries
for last half shipments II is stated that
the customers are asking for second
quarter metal in larger volume and
complaints have been heard from some
users in this country Of their inability
to place orders for 500 tons distributed
over April, May and June. Individual
foreign consumers are in the market
for copper covering the first half OF
this year. The amounts are not large
but the fact that export buying ap-
pears on the verge of being resumed
has had considerable effect on senti-
ment In the trade and has resulted In
giving more confidence to the sellers.
More optimistic views with regard to
the outlook for the coming months Is

of the smaller dealers who had been
making the low offers only ten days
or two weeks ago have completely re-
yersed their position. One such seller
is now entirely out of the market ex.

of the market Is somewhat firmer and
the prediction Is freely being made

More Expense Money Asked on A
count Of Stacker Cases,


Denver-Because of slackers am
objectors to the selective, service law
the prison expenses of the federal gov
ernment in Colorado have increased
500 per cent during the last three
months.
Samuel ]. Burris, United States
marshal, has forwarded a supplement
tai requisition to the department OF
justice at Washington, asking for an
additional $3.4OO to cover expenses
for the September quarter. The
original requisition asked for 5000,
and at the time it was forwarded,
July 1, it was believed to have been
ample.
Marshal Burris explained in the
requisition that there are more than
sixty federal prisoners at this time
and there is a probability the num-
ber will be increased. The greater
portion were arrested as slackers, or
those seeking to evade army duty and
objectors to the operation of the
selective draft law. The Jail account
for July is listed at $2,596.65. while
the average for an entire quarter dur

Historians are requested to stop
writing about the Spartan women and
turn their attention to Denver and
Colorado, for these women demon
strated true patriotism and bravery at

husbands, sons, brothers and sweet
hearts goodbye. One hundred and fiji

wasn't mother or father or a wife
or sister or a sweetheart who was
going to let her own particular boy
see tears in her eyes or hear tears in
her voice. That's why historians can
abandon the Spartan women and turn
to Denver and Colorado. There were
157 men on the train of the 1872 Colo
RADIO men accepted for the Fort Sher-
idan camp. The other thirty-five have
gone on to Chicago and will join the
others at Fort Sheridan.

Whereupon he shot a look at her
and observed that evidently he wasn't
as much Of pioneer as he thought.
She did not rise to this cast, how
ever. "All right" she said; admitting
that her ankles are serious and her
mind isn't, what is Joan going to do
about it2"
''It's easier to say what she's not to
do," he decided. after hesitating a mo-
ment. "Her fatal mistake will be to
despise her ankles without disciplining
her mind. II she will take either
one of them seriously, or both for
that matter possible she'll do

He could, no doubt, have continued
upon the theme indefinitely. but the
table turned the other way just then
and Rose took up an alleged CONVEX

lasted until they left the table, and
included such topics as indoor golf,
woman's suffrage, the new dances,
Bernard Shaw, Campanini. and the
political parties; with perfectly
appropriate and final comment upon
each.
Rose didn't care. She was having a
wonderful time-a new kind of won
derful time. No longer gazing, big
eyed like little Cinderella, at a pag-
cant some fairy godmother's whim had
admitted her to, but consciously gazed
upon she was the show, tonight, and
she knew 1t. Her low, finely modu-

In color, had tonight an edge upon 1t

with full self-consciousness, she was

II had ten minutes" she said, "and
I thought :" She broke OF the
sentence when she saw him snap
out his watch and look at it. Il know
there's something" she said. Il can
tell just by the way your eyes look
and the way you're so tight and
strained. If you'd just tell me about
1t, and then sit down and let me
try to take the strain away. :"
Beyond doubt the strain was there.
The laugh he meant for a good-humor-
ed dismissal Of her fears didn't sound
at all as it was intended to. "Good
heavens !" he said. There's nothing
to tell! I've got an argument before

there's a ruling decision against me.
It is against me, and it's bad law.
But that isn't what want to tell them.

began pacing up and down the room.

like that" she broke out again. IF
you'll only sit down for five minutes
and let me try to get that strained
look out Of your eyes. :"
"Can't you take my word for it and
let 1t alone?" he shouted. II don't
need to be comforted nor encouraged.
I'm in an intellectual quandary. For
the next three hours, or six, or how
ever long it takes, want my mind to
run cold and smooth. I've got to be
tight and strained. That's the way the
jobs done. You can't solve an intel

And these were true indices of the
changes that had taken place within
