James E. Burkholder, better
known as Ned, obtained leave
of absence from Fort Logan last
Saturday, and visited over Sunday
with his mother, sister and friends
in Georgetown. He found things
much different from the way they
had been portrayed to him at Fort
Logan. and is pleased and satisfied
with his surroundings. He is at
present with the Fort Logan band
but expecting to be moved almost
any time for parts unknown.
An upraise was started at the
Capital mine last week to make
connections with the workings of
the Capital Central mine. In some
manner the shaft which was being
sunk from the Kane Adit to make
connections with the upraise to
the Capital, seems to have missed
its mark. and drift is being
driven to make the connection.
From surveys, it is evident that
the connection between the up
raise and shaft was missed, one
passing the other, and it is thought
that within short time the drift
will encounter the upraise, COM
pleting the project.

Yesterday Representative VIII r. Wood
defended the stand taken by the twelve
United states senators. who by their
f1fbuster prevented the passage Of the
q rmed neutrality resolution proposed by
president Wilson. He said the senators
Who stood against the resolution were
actuated by patriotic motives and should
NOT be condemned
wood charged that the press had
erred in denouncing the senators in
question. and was challenged by Henry
w Marshall Sr.. owner and editor Of
the Lafayette Journal. VINO said that
what the people of the United states
were condemniug the senators for was
not they opposed the resolution. but
that they prevented a vote being taken
on it and the viii of the majority from
asserting itself. Marshails paper has
always supported Wood IN all his cam

WASHINGTON. March 22.-If every
able bodied man in the United States
between the ages of IS and 45 were
called out for military service Uncle

sumes that there has been an increase
Of 10 yer cent.
Nearly two-thirds are native-born
white. while 100000 are foreign
born naturalized whites or have decIar-
ed their intention of being nafuraliz-
ed. About 1000. 000 are negroes.
The number available under the vol
unteer system is problematical. if it is
not sufficiently large the nation viii

The number of trained forces in the
United States was recently placed at
100000 men. divided as follows:
