CANON CITY PEOPLE
SEE AEROPLANES

Cases are multiplying in which Can
erations of aeroplanes flying at night
nigh in the heavens west Of town.
These strange nocturnal visitors have
been seen SO often, and by so many
different people, as TO ieave no prac-
teal doubt of their identity. The first
reports, made ten days or two weeks
ago. that airships We're to be seen
over Canon City at night, were re-
Iceived with skepticism by the public.
but since then they have been wit
messed by so man people. who are
confident that they could not be mis-
taken, that their visitation is no long
er a subject for debate. Hardly night
has passed for a week that "A dozen
or more Canon City people have not
reported seeing powerful calcium. or
electric, lights. moving about in the
overhead darkness that must have en-
enated from aeroplanes. The semi
darkness of the heavens have pre-
cludcd anybody from obtaining a very
accurate outline of the flying ma
chimes alluded Ia. bnt the flash OF
their lights and their intermittent dip
and turn leaves but little doubt of
their origin As rule The aeroplanes
are seen in the southwestern sky be-
tween nine and ten O'Clock at night.
They were seen by Capt b. f.
Rockafeilow and others as early as
$50 Monday night. Tuesday night w.
w Hughart reports seeing no fewer
tnan eight Of these air machines sail
ing aronnd in the heavens at one time.
Mr. Hugbart was at his home around
Soda point at the time and says there
could be no mistake about il as he
counted them and is sure OF his fg-
ures- He says some of them display
ed red and blue lights.
Saiida people. as well as those of
Canon City. have been seeing aero.
planes al night for the last two weeks
and are convinced that it reuqires no
extraordinary vision TO detect them
iiyfng around in the upper air. The
piAnsihility OF all of the reports about
the nifhtiy visitation OF aeroplanes 10
this locality lies in the fact thai the
sovernmen has lately established an
aviation field at Leadvirle and that

Rev. Newell Dwight Hills, Of New
York. one of the best known ministers
of America. has made study of Ger
man outrages in eastern France. He is
delivering a series of lectures under
The title The German atrocities as
the logical and inevitable result of the
German philosophy of militarism."
The following is taken from one of
these addresses:
Slaughter Old Men and Matrons
For three years. said DIR. Hills,
'German-A have protested
that the stories of German atrocities
were to be disbelieved as English in
iventions. Belgian lies and French
hypocrisies. The photographs of dead
and mutilated girls. children and old
men tell no lies.
The Germans slaughtered old men
and matrons, mutilated captives in
ways that can only be spoken OF by
men in whispers. violated little girls
until they were dead. Finding calf
skin nailed upon barn door TO be
/ Tried, they nailed a babe beside it and
wrote beneath the word:
'Zwei.'
"Ail wise men trace deeds, wicked
or good. back to the philosophic
thinking of the doer. just as they
trace bitter water back TO poisonous
spring. What the individual or the
nation thinks in the heart. that he
does in the life.
In Treason and Murder
| Judas thinks in terms of avarice,
and greed. and his philosophy results
in treason and murder. The kaiser,
Nietzsche. Won Bethmann-Hollweg.
Won Kissing and Piauss think and
teach the theory OF iron force. the
right OF big Germany to loot little
Belgium or northern France. and drill
them in the belief that Germany's
right is the right OF tine lion and the
lamb. and that no questions will be
asked by a just God on the day OF
Judgment.

Il Perfect Day

When you come to the end of perfect day,
And you sit alone with your thought,
While the chimes ring out with carol gay
For the JOY that the day has brought.
Do you think what the end of perfect day
Can mean to tired heart,
When the sun goes down with flaming ray,
And the dear friends have to part?
Well this is the end of perfect day.
Near the end of journey, too:
But It leaves thought that is big and strong,
.- With q wish that is kind and true;
For memry has painted this perfect day
With colors that never fade.
And we find, at the end Of perfect day.
The soul Of friend we've made.
