made whereby a change in the
management ofthe First National
Bank in Julesburg will be effect
ed. The LaSalle interests will
be disposed Of to Messrs. John
Mellen, of Los Angeles, Calf,
aud Jacob Frickle Of Omaha.
These gentlemen have been here
the past few days and will take
up their permanent residence in
this city. Glenn LaSalle, who
has been cashier Of the bank for
the past several years, will move
his family shortly to Chappell,
where they will make their future
home.
We regret to lose Glenn from
our business circle and are sorry
to see this estimable family leave
our midst. Mr.. LaSalle has been
active as a booster for Julesburg,
and the same has been appreci-
ated by our citizens. He has:inter-
ests in a mercantile business with
his brother, Grovesnor, at Chap.
pell and he goes there to devote
his time to that line of work.
We welcome Messrs. Mellen

that t235 900 was invested in the

that there are permanent i.nprov-

tanned for the culture of beets.
The town OF Kimball affords
the bsst evidence of the success
OF the district and surrounding

AT CAMP BARTLETT
Still Uncertain just What viii Be
Done With Men.

Camp Bartlett, Nov S-Folowing
conferences today between Brig-Gen.
e. Leroy Sweetzer, Lieut-Col Fl. B.
Perkins of his staff, and commanding
officers OF units encamped here, an
nouncement was made that arrange
ments had been completed for the or
ganization of a pioneer regiment of
corps troops for service in France.
Gen. Sweetzer came to Westfeld last
night, being preceded by Col. Per
kins who collected data on the new
organization.
This regiment, whose makeup is
withheld for military reasons, will be
formed from the LIST New Hampshire
infantry, some 600 strong. as the
nucleus Officers and men from other
units encamped here will be trans
ferred to give the required strength.
All these details have been worked
out on paper and proper orders
drawn. Their execution will require
but little time, it is stated, so that
at ON early date the new organization
can be on its way to France. 1t is
understood that Col Michael J. Healy
commanding the 1st New Hampshire
will command the new regiment.
Contrary to statements in the Boston
press, Gen Sweetzer will not be the
commanding officer but will remain in
command of the depot brigade. He
returned to Boston this afternoon.
Other units left here after the for
nation of the pioneer regiment will
go south soon, probably to Camp
Green, Charlotte, N. G.. now used as
an encampment for regulars Gen.
Sweetzer announced today that or

NO PLEASURE

Factories to be Used for War
Necessities
WASHINGTON REPORTS
VIII Build AirpIane Engines and Num-
itons OF War While the Con-
flct Lasts.
WASHINGTON REPORTS

Washington, Nov S.-Henry Ford
will build no more pleasure automo-
biles until the wariis over. He will
devote his entire plant, so far as need
ed, to the production of war necessi-
ties, such as tractors, ambulances.
aircraft engines and shells. Through
his personal representative. C. H..
Wills, he recently offered to discon-
tinue absolutely the production of
pleasure cars and under the head OF
pleasure cars" fall the ordinary
runabouts, touring cars and small
commercial trucks which his plant
has turned out by the million,
Mr. Ford patriotic offer was ac
cepted by the government with the
greatest gratitude. The shortage of
Chrome vanadium steel which is
needed vitally for shells and aero
plane engines, has caused the great
est uneasiness among the men re-
sponsible for putting through on time
our program of industrial war pre-
parations. Mr. Ford's plant uses in
peace time approximately 100000
tons OF chrome vanadium steel year
All this steel will now go into war
work.
Henry Ford has offered voluntarily
to do the thing which the automobile
manufacturers of nearly every nation
at war have been compelled to do. In
Germany soon efter the outbreak of
war the use of specified list of raw
materials for anything but war work
was forbidden. This list included steel
copper, leather and all other com
modities useful in war. Manufactur-
ers not merely of automobiles, but
such things as pianos had to turn
their plants at once to the production
of shells and other munitions. An in
dustrial metamorphosis was produced
in a surprisingly short time. Today
the German official figures indicate
that more than 80 per cent of the
industries of the nation are engaged
in war work. If the United States is
to carry the industrial burden of the
war successfully there must be simi
lar though less radical turning of in
dustry from nonessential to war
work. Henry Ford has shown the
Way.

Desultory fighting also took place
at various points inside the city, the
revolutionaries capturing vantage

various bridges over the Neya. 1t is
possible that the casualties among
