Denver, Colo, May 2, 1917.
To The Denver Star:
Dear Friends: We take the liberty
of addressing you concerning the Pc
tition for an amendment to the Char
ter of the City and County of Denver
in the interest of our FIREMEN and
POLICEMEN and earnestly solicit
your sincere an dactive support OF
this amendment.
We have been forced to bring this
issue before you, because as servants
of the people they are the only ones
possessing the power to raise our sal
airy to a standard in keeping with the
present high cost OF living.
The standard of an American city is
no higher than that Of its protection
and safety as carried out by its police
and fire departments.
A mans ethical standards are no
higher than his home surroundings,
therefore you are respectfully asked
to help us keep our home surround
ings up to standard that will be
commensurate with the standard of
our beautiful city.
YOU CAN DO THIS BY VOTING
first one on the ballot
Wages are being increased by all
of the corporations and cities OF the
country-they realize that by SO doing
that they are increasing the efficiency
of their employees. Let us not fall
behind them in this or any other re-
spect.
WE, YOUR COLORED F1REMEN
AND POLICEMEN sincerely trust you
will take the time to interest your
selves in this matter and vote for our
amendment on MAY 15TH-we need
your assistance.
Very respectfully,
SPECIAL PUBLICITY COMMITTEE,
THE DENVER FIRE AND POLICE
ASSOCIATION.
The Star feels deeply grateful to
receive this communication from such
an important and worthy body repre-
senting such practicable and worthy
objects and we pledge to them our
heartiest support for the success OF
that amendment We are deeply in
terested and have been for some time
in the affairs of our own policemen
and firemen. We have thought Otter
of the vacancy left by our lamentet
Ike Gilmore. Now, when it comes t.
helping our own with others get an in
creased pay in order to maintain thu
usual standard of efficiency with rep
resentative home surroundings, espe
cially during this period when higl
cost of living is touching every hom'
and when enemies within are liable a
any time to burn and set fires to ever
and everything, The Star thinks tha
it is the least of its duty to urge otf
ers to help our own by helping then
selves. Now, Negroes of Denver, vot
for Amendment No. l. Put pin i
that. A vote for No. ! means vot
for every Negro in Denver. Churches
lodges. homes and business places ar
all alike affected Therefore. tall

from Il Bavarian officer, "Joun of Arc

CATCHING BULLETS IN AIR
This 10 Latest Sport Of British Avla.
tors, According to One Of Latest
Tales From Trenches

In London newspaper is printed
IN account of British aviator flying
over the German lines and catching a
quiet that had stopped dead still for
the smallest fraction of second" be.
1ore turning from an ascending into a
descending missile. Although the news.
paper prints no photograph of the
ouiiet' nor even of the pocket into
whlch the aviator placed it, the odd
story mas other elements of truth suf.
hclent to prove the authenticity of the
Whoie narrative, remarks the New
York Herald. 1t has a swarm of Ger.
man bullets "whinin,;" :" this is indis.
putable, because that has been the
characteristic of all Teutonic bullets
ever since the battle of the Marne. It
has the Germans trying to ewing" the
fler; here is the typical Teutonic at.
tempt to induce suffering through
manning. =. .,..
But the greatest evidence of truth is
the hnai sentence explaining how "the
aviator reached quickly, grabbed the
bullet and put it in his pocket" He
srabbed' 1T quickly merely because
he was flying at the rate of $50 miles
an hour, but he put it in his pocket
because a whining German bullet that
had been fired from rifle and had
gone through the superheated air sur
rounding the aviator was as white hot
as Munchausen would be if he were
alive to castigate those who doubt the
newest tale from the trenches.
