in a state of war now.". snid MT. Moore. He quoted, an advertisement, signed by the American Rights League. which began:
 "To the American people: Germany is at war with the United States. The repudiation of past pledges and the threat to destroy our ships and citi- zens constitute virtual declaration of war. It is no longer a ques- tionof whether there shall be war with Germany. There is war with Germany"
 Mr. Moore said that among the agnery of the advertisement were Dr. Lyman Abbot and the Rev. Ran dolph H. McKim, pastor of the church of the Epiphany of this city, and went on to criticise the latter for his action as to minister of the gospel. MT. Moore then proceeded to declare his own neutrality.
 "I am neither pro-German, as some of the papers have recently insisted, nor pro-ally,' he said. 1T am, as this congress ought to be pro-American and nothing else.
 1T want no dictation from Lloyd George, any more than from the Kaiser I want no dictation from Lord Northcliffe, the head of the great and certain alliances in the United newspaper fraternity of Great Britain States, any more than from Won Hindenberg.
 Mr. Moore charged that Sir Gilbert Parker was furthering pro-British propaganda in the United States. He produced a circular concerning the activities of Sir Gilbert, and asserted that "the Tories of the United States in 1917 are endeaVoring to regain the ground they lost in 1776.' Turning to the matter of trade MT Moore said:
 We have provided in the interest of the great shippers a war risk bureau which is guaranteeing safe conduct to munitions ships to only one of the belligerents But we have approximately $2.0O0,00O,0OO of bonds of foreign powers, and unless the war is successful the money we have in vested in these foreign securities is lost.'

FINE Y0UAG NAN
sUCCuMBs TO PNEUMONIA

Eber Franklin Dice was laid to rest
in the Masons and Odd Fellows ceme-
terry on Tuesday afternoon, June 18th.
He was born in Denver, Colorado, on
Nov. 18th, 1898, and has resided in
Gunnison county for IT years. He
was i'll with pneumonia only six days,
and he died suddenly on Saturday,
June 9th, at l o'clock in the after
noon. His death was q terrific blow
to his family and q terrible shock to
his many friends. A beautiful and
impressive funeral service was held
Tuesday at the family home, which
was attended by . large gathering
Of relatives and friends. The Rev.
Gustav Winters, pastor Of the Pres
byterian church Of Gunnison had
charge Of the service. He took as
his text the words, "A time to reap
and time to SOW" found in Eccl.
3:7. The coffin was fairly heaped
high with many fragrant floral Of
ferings, laid there by the loving hands
Of neighbors and friends. A choir con-

nisoo's Favor; Sunday
Game Lost l5-5;
Louke PitchesLast
Five Innings

The returns Of the game betWee0
Gunnison and Grand Junction teams
in this city Saturday brought joy 70
the hearts Of Gunnison fans II to 10
in favor of Gunnison. The regretabIs
thing is that Gunnison didn't turn out
q better crowd for the game. It was
fine lay but not hot enough for real
baseball atmosphere, especially as .
number Of our players are Kansas
men who take to scorching days for
baseball as q duck to water. Cum
mings, the new man who arrived Sat-
urday morning from Denver, pitched
against Cox, Of the Grand Junction
team. Considering the lack Of prac-
tice with this team, Cummings
pitched good ball. Bumps was put in
Cummings place in the ninth.
Naturally hope ran high for Sunday
and the money went strong for Gum
nison. Bumps name was on the lips
of every Gunnison fan and shouts Of
reclamation greeted him from the
crowd in the grandstand as he walked
out to open the Sunday game. His
splendid work on the trip had prom
ised big things. Contrary to all ex-
pectation he lost his control and told
the manager at the close of the first
inning that another pitcher should be
put in his place, he couldn't throw q
curve to save his life. He stayed in
until the fifth inning when Louke was
put in for the rest of the game. Big
Bill Hall pitched the winning game
for Grand Junction. Our boys began
pounding him in the last three innings
and made three scores in the seventh
and two in the ninth. We're still
shouting for Bumps, folks; every
player has his off day and Bumps has
fine reputation as pitcher to back
him up and he isn't a seasoned veter-
an, either. By the way, Grand juno
tion's big southpaw, Hall, blew up in
the game with Olathe and had to be
taken out in the fourth inning; much
the same story at Delta; even the
great Hall.
About the features: In Satur-
days game our man Winans-"C China"
-batted 1000. Out of the five times
up to bat, he made4 single, 2 doubles,
and 2 triples, which we claim is.going
some.
Two brilliant plays struck our no
tice Sunday. Cox, on second base in
place of injured Donovan, caught
fly ball, which in ninety nine cases out
of one hundred would have been safe
hit, one-handed. In the fourth inn
ing our boys made fast double play:
Clark to Newbury to Mcdonald.

"His life was as wholesome as the

the drifted snow on these lordly

Eber Dice was the eldest son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Dice, nineteen
years Of age and robust, healthy
youth up to the time Of his fatal ILL
