CANON CITY WINS
FROM centennial

According to reports received here
by telephone this morning from Pue-
bio the Canon City high school basket
ball team won from the Centennial
high school team on the floor of the
latter's gymnasium Friday night by
a score OF twenty-five to twenty-one.
The game appears to have been splen-
didly contested on both sides and Is
said to have been a mastery exhibit
tion of its kipd. There was a large
crowd OF rooters for the Centennial
quintet in attendance at the game and
its members were given every en-
couragement to win. but all to no pur-
pose. The Pueblo players were re-
garded as one OF the fastest and best
drilled organizations of their kind in
southern Colorado and the Canon
'ity boys in defeating them on their
chosen ground have done themselves
proud. Their victory entities them to
a full measure OF praise and con-
graduation.

ment of the United States army,
which renders, him liable to be, called
into the military service OF tho, gov
ernment by the war department at
any time an emergency may exist for
additional troops.
Mr.. Stromberger's appointment to a
captaincy in the army was, made as
result of an examinations at Fort
Logan a couple of months ago. His
commission bears date of Dec. Is,
1916. and is signed by President Will

Whenever an emergency for mors
troops may be deemed necessary by
the war department Mr. Stromberger
will automatically be mustered into
the regular army with the rank. and
pay of captain. Indeed, IL may not be
necessary for Mr.. Stromberger to
wait for an increase in the army
to take his position. as there is a shor-
tage of officers for the troops now
enlisted and he may be summoned
TO the colors at almost any time.

the position to which he has been
appointed. His friends congratulate

three billion sought, it is expected
that five billion will be subscribed.

was the first American to receive the
coveted cross.
A private is, he may well know, the

the same from congress at the Decem-
ber session bear fruit.
The fact that this is the greatest
war In which the United States has
ever engaged and the fact that Major
General Pershing commands the great
est army ever put on the field by the
United States effectually refute all
arguments against the reestablish-
ment OF the grade of full general.
But four commanders in American
history have held that Washing
ton, Grant, Sherman and Sheridan.
Incidentally the latter two were from
Ohio and the selective draft camp at
Chillicothe and the camp for the Ohio
guard division at Montgomery, Ala,
have been significantly enough named
for them. Major General Pershing
would become the fifth full general

General Petain Is full in command
of French armies, while Field Marshal
Haig holds absolute sway over all Brit
ish forces. Pershing, foremost Ameri-
can commander in the minds of the
people, If not in actual rank, should
be put on an equally high basis as
the allied commanders.
Pershing is popular, even with those
who never heard of him until the ex-

NEAR HER END

Germany Is weakening her positions
in France, in Belgium and in Russia
by withdrawing Austrian troops in the
vain hope that General Cadorna may
be repulsed i'm the Isonzo.
General Maude in Mesopotamia has
taken in tow nearly 1000 Turks in a
sudden drive.
Grown Prince Ruprecht, in five reck-
less smashes, has failed to shatter the
British-Belgium lines in Flanders.
All of these events, coming as they
do in the news of single day, seem
like the gusts of cool air which pre-
cede violent summer storm The
news seems electrified with indica-
tions of something tremendous forth
coming in the very near future.
Is 1t that Germany definitely recog-
nizes the possibility that Austria may
negotiate for separate peace? Is it
that Budapesth shows signs of weak
ening? Is 1t that Zeebrugge and the
seat Of portion of submarine actiy-
tiles are In danger of annihilation? Is
1t that one of Germany's allies is pre-
pared to desert her? Speculation is
all that can be INDUCED in just now,
Germany has irretrievably lost the
initiative, her own military writer's ad-
NIT. Hers is war Of defense hence
forth. This has been the more marked
the past six weeks. In but one field
does she still seem victorious-the
bombing of unfortified private resi-
dences of England and the murder of
nurses in base hospitals. 1t is such
victories" as these that make a shep-
herd dog bold and brave in the eyes OF

Are Senators La Toilette, Gronna

head" does now, but Breckenridge and
Bright, especially the latter, we're in
deed "copperheads."
Senator Breckenridge was from
Kentucky and 1t is only the excuse
that a portion of his state belonged to
the confederacy during the Civil war
that could possibly have justified his
actions in the senate. His resigna-
tion was demanded as has been those
of LaFollette, Gronna and Stone, and
he promptly joined the army of the
South in which he was made a major
general
Senator Bright hailed from a dis
tinctly northern state-Indiana. This
sedtious individual actually wrote a
letter to Jefferson Davis, president Of
the confederacy, introducing a certain
friend who wanted to sell the confed-
eracy a new type of firearm. On the
basis of this act, Bright was expelled.
The United States senate has al.
ways been slow to oust any of its
members, but questions Of dignity and
pride must be put away in the face of
the more vital question of safety. 1t
is said that utterances of the three
senators named are freely quoted
in Russia as part of the anti-govern.
ment and anti-order propaganda with
which the new republic seethes. 1t Is
not merely the political effect upon
Russia, but the fact that these speech
es endanger the lives Of U. s. troops
abroad that makes vital little hesita-
ton in casting from the senate the
Breckenridges and the Brights of a
war equally significant as that which
their forerunners of "a sought to OBJ
