Franz von Rintelen, who in the first year of the war was one of the main-springs of the German secret service system and who, in that ca pacity, came to the United States in April, 1915, to instigate strikes in munition plants and who is also sus- pected of having conspired with Vic toriano Huerta to bring about war be- tween the United States and Mexico, arrived in New York from a prison camp in England. Reports that he had offered to be witness for the government in the case against ex- Congressman Frank Buchanan and H.. Robert Fowler of Illinois and ex-At- torney General Frank s. Monnett of Ohio, charged with having attempted to instigate strikes and walkouts in intuition plants, could not be verified. Rintelen was captured by the Brit ish in August, 1915, while attempting to get back to Germany on fraudu- lent Swiss passport
 David Lamar, known as ''The Wolf of Wall Street." who is a con- vict in the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta, will be brought to New York to stand trial with Buchanan and the others. Lamar is alleged to have been one of Von Rintelens most trust ed aids.

Manufacturers Here Expect Part of Loan
 Will Come to This City

Bridgeport manufacturers and es- pecially those who previously have been interested in the fabrication of munition contracts for the allies pro- fess to be especially pleased at the war loans now being made by the United States government to Great Britain.
 Machines now lying idle, and in fact huge buildings which have here- tofore been devoted to making bul' lets, clips and other parts of small arms, machine guns and shrapnel will, it is believed, again resume their operations.
 Intimation coming from high of- ficial sources in Washington declare that large proportion of the loans now being made will remain in this country.
 In this city, where contracts for Great Britain have been completed, II is said by owners of plants that the shut down was expected to be merely temporary and that additional orders are expected.

SERVICE DODGERS

Tales are told of huskies between the ages of Is and 45 who are in the Home Guard. They can be taken from the Home Guard, of course, but their present service furnishes sub- terfuge to some to say they are doing their bit They have no business in the Home Guard, even temporarily.
 We believe that service should be the watchword in this crisis and in So far as the Home Guard movement has contributed to this end it has done an admirable work. Let us not; however, be home guarded to suffo- cation Enlisting men merely for their moral support, for instance, into companies, with officers and non commissioned officers is in our opin- ion foolishness.

Graves Should Worry

1t looks very much as if the Republi-
cans also drew lemon or two in Weld
county at the last election. Represen-
tative Graves would have undoubtedly
been defeated in the Republican assem-.
bly, had it been known that he would
again introduce a bill for county divi-
sion. But he indicated by implication
if not by direct promise, that he would
not urge that question again. But he
did introduce the division bill. The
democratic party is not the only party
that got stung on some Of its candi.
dates at the last election. You are
welcome to whatever consolation you
can personally obtain from this. Wind
sor Poudre Valley.
We no longer wonder that the Poudre
Valley is considered as entertaining
fiction. Wonder If Roy Ray attended
that assembly, and if he did we would
like to have him tell what Joe Ewing
said on that occasion and point out
some of those implications" But
from the friends made by the bill,
Graves should worry. Blaze away Ray,
tell all you know about it.

HAROLD SCOTT, VI0uNST
PLAYS At STERLING BAN
QUIET TO NEWSpAPERMEN

Last week on Wednesday evening
about $50 to 200 guests sat down to q
banquet given by J. C. Scott, proprie-
tor of The Sterling Advocate. We had
heard Of the great times that they had
at these banquets, but the half had
never been told.
The force that helps put The Advo-
cate together, gathers the news, sets
the type, prints and distributes the pa
per, together with a host of friends
constituted those who sat down to the
feed.
The neatest invitations, the daintiest
decorations, the most appetizing viands
and the most charming service charac-
terized the whole affair.
The speeches were divided into form
al and informal. At the table Judge
Burke acted as master of ceremonies
and he acted the part while introducing
the formal speakers, who gave the
real meat of the feast Intellectually.
An Extra Edition" was staged in
the adjoining room where there was
more or less substantial things, more
OF fun, etc. Whether in jest or in
earnest, Judge Burke is good, better,
best.
There was music too, both in the be-
ginning and ending. And an Z the
best was the violin in the ,ds OF
Harold Scott. ~
After the evening we wonder no
longer how it is that J. C. Scott has
such hold on the people Of Sterling.
