as can be found in any other urban

Mr.. Guy U. Hardy.
Canon City, Colorado.
Dear Hardy:
Your observations published in the
last issue of The Colorado Press, un-
der the heading Nine Days in New
York" were read by me with special
interest; partly because of your
quaint deductions and partly because
they parallel the experiences of the
writer during first" visit TO New
York City year ago-a visit that
added considerable scope to my views
concerning the diameter and circum-
ference of things.
|, too, spent few rare hours each
night at the McAlpine Hotel: ate din
ner at Churchill's and noted the same
class of penciled and manicured fe-
mininity that you observed, smoking
tails. "Claret Cups gin rickies. Tom
Colliness. and similar beverages. in
order to put little pink" as well as
pep" into the Great White Way.
l was also guest at the Bankers
Club for luncheon and watched the
Curb" Dervishes make their on
slaughts.. although the New York
friend who was with me kept the safe
distance of half block away because.
as he frankly explained. he was afraid
to get any closer on account OF the
lure OF the thing. 1t had no such in
fuence on me and felt curiously
amused at the inconsistency of his at
titude as 1 reflected that every dollar
he owned was acquired at even great
er hazard than playing the Curb"
also drew a homely deduction from
the unpretentious character OF the
Morgan bank and the reverse char
acteristic which embellishes the
Woolworth building-or. rather, the
opposite degree of advertising value
which each institution embodies.
Happily, the public is becoming more
discerning of the relative values In
volved in the two extremes referred
10. and publicity folk are becoming
more discriminating in applying them.
I. too. sat alone in one of the his
toric old meeting houses and rever-
emily noted the names on the modest
slabs in the churchyard. Slowly those
names are being obliterated. yet the
record of the deeds which many OF
them wrought will be perpetuated al
ways. And what a wholesome spell
they cast and what an inspiring. en-
couraging message they bring back
through the mist Of the years. Per.
haps daily contact with such scenes
would in time dull the perceptions
the finer feelings which they first In
spire. but ! am loath 10 believe that a

exultation of sentiment can break en-
tirely away from such an anchorage.

THE LOSS of the steamship Mari posa is like taking an old friend out of a small community. She has piled on the northern run so long, and ev- cry Alaskan was so intimately ac- quainted with her crew. that the loss of the vessel come in the nature of a calamity to each and every one of us. While it is true that the vessel was to have been taken off the AL askan ran. and placed on the San Francisco Honolulu run this being her last trip, 1t was sincerely hoped that some time she would be back on her northern run and that we would have the pleasure of again greeting her crew. But she lies fathoms deep be- meath the sea, and we shall know her no more. It Is a matter of congratu- lation that no lives were lost at the time of the sinking.

IT IS reported that one of Valdez's young married women kneads bread with her gloves on. The incident may be somewhat peculiar but there are others: The editor of the Prospector needs bread with his shoes on; he needs bread with Ris shirt on; he needs bread with his pants on; and unless our citizens step into the breach and help us out we will soon need bread without a durned thing on. and Valdez is no Garden of Eden when 1t comes to that, in the winter time.

IS DANIELS FALL PREsAGEDe

The Washington Post is found edi- torially questioning the efficiency of the direction of tha American navy. What d6es this mean? The Post has been looked upon as an exponent of the ideas of the administration as held in the inner family circle of the Presidents councillors; and even a remote expression of doubt regard ing the navy department is, of course, interpreted the contain an intimation that Josephus Daniels is no longer rendering service which. would im- pei the President to retain him in charge of his portfolio. Through good and evil reports the President has manifested his confidence in and de- votion to his Secretary of the Navy. When Mir. Dauiels through George Creel or through one of his own sub ordinates or by himself, hoaxed the American people with elaborate ac- counts of naval battles and with er- roneous transcriptions of dispatches telling of submarine attacks, the Pres ident gave no sign of displeasure. He stood for Mir. Daniels idiosyncracies in all their varied development. The Secretary's delay in carrying out ear ly programs of naval construction has not been rebuked by his chief; nor has there been any concern display ed over MT. Daniels dilatory and costly tergiversations regarding the proper method of combating the U- boat peril. Josephus has been the spoiled child of the Cabinet. Is he now to feel the rod? The Washing ton Post utterances sound ominous to us.

VIRGIN ISLES CLOSED TO
 >> IMPORTATION OF LIQUORS

WASHINGTON. D. C., Nov. 20.- All avenues for importation of distill- ed liquors for beverage purposes ex- cept from the Virgin islands were closed today under instructions sent to customs collectors. based on At- torney General Gregory's interpreta- ton of prohibition section of the food control and war tax laws. H. quor produced on or before October 3 when the revenue act was passed may not be imported for any other purpose, but if produced after Octo- Der and intended for other purposes than consumption as a beverage, 1t may be admitted under customs regu- lation yet to be made.
 Rum and other liquor made in the Virgin islands after October 3 from materials produced there. may be brought into this country for bever- age or any other purposes.
 The result of the order probably will be to admit for industrial uses quantities of liquor now held by GUS toms oficers. pending the attorney general's review of ruling made several weeks ego by the treasury so- licitor permitting importation of H. quor produced before October 3. Or ders based on that ruling. which vir- tually nullifed the food acts prohi- bition against importation have been withdrawn.

in no senss .boastful, 1t left the unmis- takable impression. that the U-bost is . defeated weapon.
 "A kind of double warfare is being waged against the submarines. The allies are using sfheir utmost sner- gies to drive the snemy from the deep and simultaneously are building new ships at 50 tremendous { rate that losses are more than balanced. The fact that between 40 and 50 per cent of the kaiser's U-boats have been de! stroyed since the war began is indica- tive of the relentlessness ofthe cam paign and this Is further emphasized by the report that during the past three months Germany has lost more submarines than during the entire year of 1916.
 A conservative feature of. Sir Eric Geddes' statement was that while the British are speeding up their ship building program, the enemy is re- doubling his efforts to increase his U-boat output and his maximum con- struction has not yet been reached.
 But the situation nevertheless Is encouraging. Losses of British ton mage have steadily decreased since April. The net reduction in tonnage in the last four months Is 30 per cent less than was estimated by the Brit ish admiralty in July. The total loss of British tonnage in the last four months Is 30 per cent less than was estimated by the British admiralty in July. The total losses of British tonnage since the war began is 14 per cent--certainly heavy redue- tion, but 1t is to be remembered that German tonnage has been reduced by 50 per cent. Moreover. this does not take into account the fact that Brit ish sailings in September were 20 per cent in number and 30 per cent in tonnage higher than in April, the month of heaviest sinkings.
 Something of what England is do- ing to offset submarine losses is re- vealed in the statement that in the first nine months of 1917 the output of merchant tonnage in Britain was 123 per cent higher than during the same period of last year and consid- erably higher than the entire output of 1915. Moreover, plans already afe being put into execution for still greater production for 1918.
 These is no question that the effect iveness of anti-submarine warfare has been vastly improved during the past few months. In September 90 per cent of the merchantmen entering the war zone were conveyed. and since the convoy system was inaugurated the submarines chances of bagging a vessel have been reduced to l In 200. Only 1 in 125 are attacked and even when attacked the merchant mans chances of escape are l to 3.
 Incidentally, it should be remem- bred that the United States is also building up a gigantic fleet of mer- chant ships for overseas service in answer to the challenge of the sub marine. In 1914 our foreign tonnage was only 1,O66,00O, whereas one year from now it will amount to 9.000.000, or nearly double Germany's tonnage at the time the war broke out. The entire world tonnage now Is only about 31,O00,000.
