THE WAR

The British and French continue
their pressure on the German lines
on the western front. That this
pressure" is heavy is indicated by
the British casualty lists, which foot
ed up q, 600 for the past week.
The Italians are making good pro-
gress against the Austrians.
Notwithstanding internal troubles
and disorgsnization, the Russians
are holding the Austro- Germans at
q standstill on the eastern front.
Reports come in of the sinking Of
several German submarines during
the week.
Gu Wednesday, Congress passed
the war-credit bill-$ll, ,583, 900. 600
the greatest war credit bill ever con-
sidered. On the same day, 10000
men of the new national army were
on their way to various camps. Thus,
this Nation is preparing.

STAND BY THIS EMBLEM
More Men Needed For Navy

Upon the declaration Of war with
Germany the total allowed number
Of men for the Navy was increased
from $1,000 to $4,000, or almost
double the previous peace strength.
Up to September lst, the entire
country has recruited 1900 men,
making the total enlisted strength to
date l4O, 900, leaving q shortage Of
approximately 25.OOO men.
Colorado, Wyoming and, northern
New Mexico have sent 1850 men to
the Navy since April lst. All Navy
recruiting stations are still working
hard to make up the existing short
age; and practically all ratings in the
Navy except general electricians and
yoeman Tor clerical branch) are still
open to enlistment.
None of the men who are drafted
for the National army are sent to the
Navy, as the latter is entirely q vol
unteer proposition. However, drafted
men who have not been notified to
appear for examination before local
exemption boards are eligible for en-
listment In the Navy. The present
ages for Navy enlistment are 1895.
At the present time 20 men per
week are enlisted from the Colorado,
Wyoming and northern New Mexico
district. These men are transferred
Immediately to the training station
At Great Lakes, Illinois, located on
Lake Michigan, 80 miles north Of
Chicago. After completion of their
training course they are ordered to
the new vessels Of the Navy as fast
as they are completed.
| The fact that large percentage Of
the men who enlist In the Navy are
taught mechanical trades enables
them TO improve their time and edu-
cation, 1t the same time they are
rendering . patriotic duty to their
country by giving their services.
| All young men who have not
definttely decided that they prefer
Army service should 1t once get in
touch with the nearest Navy recruit
ing station, in order to learn of the
requirements and advantages Of
NAVY enlistment. All inquiries by
mail are promptly answered at the
following recruiting offices: Denver,
Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Trinidad.
Grand Junction, Colorado, and
Cheyenne, Wyoming.
1t is hoped that the former good
record of this district will be kept up
and that the Nays quota from the
Mountain states will be filled ahead
Of other recruiting districts, demon
strating the patriotic spirit. Of this
section OF the Great West.

Why Many Newspapers Fail

Eight Ohio newspapers have sus-

count Of the greatly increased cost Of
print paper, labor and other ma
terisls. Among these papers to sus-
pend IL the Gallon Leader.
Several hundred, big and little,
have passed away or have been alb
sorbed by other papers during the
last II months.
Country newspapers and dailies in
the small and medium sized cities
have been for years receiving for ad-
vertising such low rates that many Of
them cannot weather the storm.
Everywhere newspapers are trying
TO get sufficient increase in advertis-
ing rates In order to meet conditions
and pay bills and continue publica-
tion.
This 10 serious matter, for town
without . newspaper has no way OF
speaking to its citizens; and soon be-
comes . dead town.
Without the newspapers liberty
bonds could not be fioated; armies
could not be raised. The English
government Is the biggest advertiser
in the world and Canada 10 second.
By advertising Canada took At the
rate Of 5000 . month out OF the
United States for several years.
Tho United States government
alone still asks newspapers to print
all government news free, notwith-

nothing else to sell but Its space. The
