 We are in this war to a finish. This is not going to be a money war. We are going to send the best we have to Europe. You may call it false pat riotism, but there are things that the American government are willing to die for rather than sacrifice, and the American people are sincerely behind the government. You are going to see the American people as the king pin of this war What they do will serve to crystalline and foster any movement that advances the liberty of the world. This war was originally started probably, due to the internal jealousies and trade rivalries of the opposing countries, but at this time it is essentially a war that will deter mine whether this world will be ruled by democratic or an autocratic form of government, and there are many people, thousands of them, that are willing to fight in order that a repub- lican form of government may rule this earth. There are many of those that are going to fight in this cause that will never return to see :he re- suits of their crusade, but they will at least die to assure their own con science. l feel that I shall be lower than the mangy cur that is in the street if I am too cowardly to serve my country in this time of need.

ALBUQUERQUE. N NJ. May 30. - Although reports from northern see tions tell of heavy rainfall the past winter. so heavy in Wyoming that elk could not reach the grass beneath the snow and so starved. New Mexico generally experienced a rather light precipitation last winter.

DENVER, Col, May 30. - While the value of minerals mined in Colo rado in 1915 was about 30 per cent greater than that of the 1914 output, the 1916 output was but 13 per cent greater in value than that of the pre- ceding year. and actually was of small Ter tonnage, according to the biennial report of the state mine commission CT, made public recently.
 The 1915 output was valued at s44.- 060.521. and while this was reached in part through high prices prevailing for metals. the report says. it repre- sents 6O,O00 more tons of metals pro- duced than in 1914 The 1916 output, valued at s49,OOO.OOO. would not have been worth as much as the 1915 pro duct, the report states, had prices been equal both years.

ECUADOR L|KEL ' SELL ISLANDS

tBy Associated PressD

ANCON, Panama. May 30 - Reports keep coming to the isthmus of grow ing inclination on the part of the peo- | pie of Ecuador to offer the Galapagos islands for sale to the United States. The handsome price paid for the Vir- gin islands is said to have made a great impression on Ecuadorians. The Galapagos islands have long been eco nOmically worthless to Eucador. but all suggestions to sell them have been hailed by opposing politicians as an intrigue to deliver the territory of the country into the hands of foreigners It may be that the conduct of the United States toward Latin-America under President Wilson has mitigated the distrust of the United States and inclined the Eucadorians to consider more leniently American possession of the islands.
 The Galapagos lie about eight hun dred miles southwest of the canal, close to the road of steamers plying between the canal and New Zealand Australia, and the rest of Oceania, and the lower East Indies. It is asserted that the site would be a strategetic point for naval operations, an outpost in the defense of the canal and a haven for ships of peace or war in rfyt- lation of the group is reported as about four hundred persons.
