LAST TRIBUTE |S
 PAID TO MEMORY
 IF BUFFALO BILL
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

DENVER. June 3.-Last tribute was paid today by vast assemblage to the memory of Colonel William F. Cody Buffalo BiiD when the body of the famous scout and plainsman was laid to rest in d grave blasted from the solid rock beneath the thin earth or top of Lookout mountain, 20 miles from Denver.
 More than 10000 people went from Denver to Lookout mountain by auto mobile and electric train. For four hours before the ceremony at the grave there was a steady procession of auto mobiles winding up the mountain side toward the summit, far above the pla- teau on which Denver is situated. More than 2,000 persons, it was esti- mated, who had gone by trolley to Golden, at the foot of the mountain, climbed steep trails or trudged along the automobile road to Wildcat Point, where the burial was held
 The ceremony at the grave was not elaborate, only the masonic ritual being used and was under the direction of the Golden Masonic Lodge. A delega- ton of Knights Templar from North Platte, Neb., where Colonel Cody held his membership, acted as an escort for the body at the grave.
 As the last shovelful of earth was thrown into the grave buglar sounded taps. When the last note had died out a battery of Colorado national guard artillery fired a salute of thirteen guns. As the last shot ceased reverberating among the mountains the Stars and Stripes broke out from a flagpole at the grave and the burial ceremony was ended
 For an hour and a half before the services began the thousands of per sons who had made the journey to the summit of the peak where Colonel Cody often had gone to view the broad plains of Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas and Wyoming and the snow -caped peaks of Colorado-all visible from the spot chosen for his last resting place passed in a steady stream on either (CCntinued on Page Two) e

EDITH GERMANS
 AND BRITISH
 WIN SUCCESSES
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

In the Lens and Arras sectors on the French front the British and Germans during Saturday night and Sunday were engaged in fierce fighting in which each side won successes, but were not able to hold them in their en- tirety in the face of violent counter at taCks.
 Striking heavily south of the Souchez river during Saturday night and again Sunday morning the British made good gains in terrain and also took numer- ous prisoners. Later the Germans stiff fened their line and counter attacked with considerable forces, which held the British, who were unable to main tain their progress. As result of the fighting nearly a hundred prisoners re- Tnained in the hands of Field Marshal Haig's men.
 Southeast of Arras the Germans near Cherisy went on the offensive and pushed back the British front, taking several positions. The British, how ever, as was the case with the Ger mans in the Souchez sector, re- al-gned their men and striking hard, rogained 1 their lost ground in it's entireiy. except for one post.
 Around the bend in the line running i eastward from the region of Soissons into the Champagne the French and i Germans are engaged in vicious fight ing-with infantry on the Vauclerc and California plateus and with artillery farther eastward. Saturday night and Sunday the forces of the German crown ! prince attacked the plateau positions of the French in waves, the Germans at some places coming on shoulder to i shoulder. The French artillerymen and riflemen inflicted terrible losses on the Germans, who were not successful at any point in capturing and holding a French position.
 The Italian offensive in the Austro- Italian theater again has greatly dimin- i ished in violence, being carried out mainly by small attachments. An in dica ton of the extent of the Austrian losses in the recent fighting is a state l ment issued by the Italian war office showing that between May II and May % the Austrians lost S5.000 men in

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Safe ar rival at Russian port of the American commission to Russia headed by Elihu Root ambassador extraordinary. was announced today in dispatch to the navy department.
 The commission left Washington about May Is, charged with greetings to the new democratic government of Russia and authorize to pledge un- stinted aid from the United States not only in the prosecution of war against the common enemy but in the rehabil- itation of the demoralized country. It was preceded by a special mission of railroad experts, whose arrival already has been announced
 After a final conference between President Wilson and MT. Root the commissioners travelled overland to the Pacific coast and there boarded a fast naval vessel. Under the voluntary cen sorship. at the request of the govern ment, nearly all American newspapers refrained from publishing anything about their departure or the points through which they passed along the way. While no German submarines are known to be operating in the Pa cific. it was deemed wise to print no details of the trip until the voyagers were landed safely The arrival of the mission at Petrograd is awaited anx- 1 iously. because it is believed confident | k here that the assurances it brings from the American government and the people and the counsel of it's mem-

BR|T|SHERS MAY
 BE ENLISTED IN
 UNITED STATES
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, June 3.-Lieutenant General T. Nj. G. Bridges, who has the military head Of the British mission tc the United States has given to the As sOciated Press a statement explaining the enlistment of British subjects in the United States
 There are large numbers of British subjects living in the United States wno have up to now been unable to enlist. as no machinery was available to han dle them,' said General Bfidses q expect they will now come forward in large numbers to do their duty by their country.
 The British recruiting mission, un- der the command of Brigadier General W A. White COnnaught Rangers, has established it's headquarters at 2SO Broadway, New York, and shortly will have branches throughout the country
 Men between the ages of IS and 45 desirous of enlisting in the imperial or Canadian forces may present them selves at the United States recruiting depOts. where they will receive their preliminary examinations and be for varded free of cost tu British or Cana . dian depots.
 While affording this Opportunity for voluntary enlistment :t must always be remembered that the law of nations does not recognize a man without a country and that every man who en- joys the privilege of citizenship has corresponding obligations to fulfill.
 Tt will be the object of both coun- , tries to insure that there is nO escape from these obligations consider that measures will be taken to this end. All men, therefore. shouId lose no time in selecting the branch of service to which they wish to be postedn A supplemental statement by General White said;
 According to the 1910 census there were at that time 500,000 British and Canadian male citizens over T resident in this country who had not completed their naturalization. Accurate figures of men between the ages of 21 and 3C | will be obtained through the medium | of the registration for the selective ] draft.
 British and Canadian subjects are 1 fairly well scattered throughout the union, but the largest numbers appear | to be concentrated in New York, Chi cago, Boston and Philadelphia although there is q considerabel number on the | Pacific coast.
 Any men found medically unfit or final examination at New York or a, the Canadian depot will. of course. be returned at the expense of the British or Canadian government.

AVIATION FIELD IN FRANCE FUR
 AMERICAN PLIERS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. June 3.--Contracts
 have been awarded to an American
 firm for the construction of a two
 squadron aviation field in France where American army fliers will re- ceive final preparation before taking their places at the front.
 Final training will be in French bat tie planes and under French instructors. As yet the United States has produced
 no airplanes of sufficient power and speed for use at the front
 The announcement was made in a statement issued by the committee on public information in which Chairman Howard E. Coffin of the aircraft pro duction board of the national defense ! council, describes progress in develpo- ment of aviators and aircraft in the United States. Three training fields i will be so near completed by July 20
 that 800 student aviators, graduates of 1 the preliminary theoretical courses given at six colleges can begin their
 training in actual flight by that time. As new airmen leave American | fields at the end of the four months training. the statement says, they i will fly to the Atlantic coast and em
 bark for France. The government now 1 can say that it is actually embarked on the task of overcoming its present deficiency in military aviation. We be- 1 lieve the outlook promises a quick de-
 velopment of the latent air resources
 of America which may be unprecedent ed in the military history of the world. The three aviation fields now under construction are at Dayton, Ohio. De troit, Mich, and Champagne, III. l The Dayton field, built to accommo-
 date the largest group of aviation stu
 dents to be trained is on the site of the original field on which the Wrights de- veloped their first successful airplaner 1 Sites for six two squadron fields have not yet been chosen.

GERMAN CROPS IN

[Repub'ican A. p. Leasel wlre1

COPENHAGEN, (Via London. June 9)-The German crops now show a fairly satisfactory condition. according to German reports, particularly in southern and western Germany. al- though plenty of rain continues to be the earnest desire of the farmers. The hot dry weather during May-the driest May in sixteen years. with a rainfall barely half of the normal brought on the grain crop so rapidly that the farmers in southern and west ern Germany are reckoning upon the harvest at the usual date, notwith- standing the greatly belated spring.
 The government has obtained an ex- act census by districts to determine the acreage and probable date of ripen ing of each individual potato patch, in order to take them as fast as they come so as to relieve the drain upon the dwindling grain stocks.
 Very few potatoes now are reaching the market, and the ration almost ev- anywhere has been cut from three pounds down to nothing, bread being necessarily substituted

 Tuns, kwang-S -Si and Yun-Nan are supportino President Ii Yuan

 ina hurriedly to Canton.
 t seems probable that should the
 military governors persist in their
 revolutionary course the three loy-
 al south China provinces named,

 is serious and the president vir- tually powerless.

EMBATTLEO AMERICAN
FARMER OF YEAR 1917

Times change. In the Revolutionary
war it was the "embattled farmers"
who fired the shot heard around the
world
To-day the American farmer is again
doing something that will be heard
around the world, but in different
way.
The world is waiting on the Amer
lean farmer for its food. Its hope is in
him. 1t wishes him good weather and
abundant crops, and it will pay him
well.
The farmer will help win battles
that he will never sec. For our boys
at the front Will be we'll fed and couru-
eeous, thanks to his industry and pa-
triotism.
Nor is the farmers part In this
world war--in this greatest catastro-
phe history has ever had to record
limited to producing food He has
his part to play before crops are ready
for harvest. For. right now. the ma
tion needs the farmers support in a
different way. 1t needs his cooper
alton on Liberty bonds
These bonds arc issued to equip
our soldier boys with everything tney
will need foT their safety, comfort and
fighting strength. The government
will pay every bond buyer 3k per
cent interest, free from all taxes. and
will return to him the entire principal.
Liberty bonds are n safe. sure. profit
able investment.
It is the hope of President Wilson
that not a single farmer in the coun-
fry will be seen without Liberty
bond button in his buttonbole.
