Arvada Cemetery Preparing
to Put Water on Grounds

The Arvada Cemetery Associa-
ton have at last reached a point
in developments that has long
been aspired to, that of being
able to- rrigate and beautify the
grounds. With plenty of foliage
and flowers, it would be hard to
find a more beautiful spot for a
cemetery and from the start it
has been the dream and constant
aim of the members of the asso-
citation, Chas. WILDER presi-
dent and Mrs. Geo. Kimbrough
is secretary, to put in a plant
that would furnish water to the
highest point.
A committee composed of
Chas. WILDER. North Evans and
r. o. Graves was authorized to
purchase a plant and three large
tanks holding 5000 gallons each
and gasoline engine were pur-
chased. For the past week Mr..
Shinn and son and Robt. Dennis
and his. son Robert Dennis, Jr.,
have been working placing the
tanks. One is being sunk in the
ground to catch the ten inches of
water that belongs to the ceme-
terry and the other two will be
elevated on top of the highest
point.
A pump and the engine will be
installed at the lower tank and
the water piped into the two
tanks above and from these dis
tributed over the grounds.
We understand. however, that
still more money and labor is
needed to complete the plans and
anyone feeling kindly disposed,
may lend such assistance. which
will be greatly appreciated.

Americas Soul is in War.

The United States is now whole
heartedly in the war eager to crush
the Kaiser quickly and to supply tbs
necessary men and money to that end,
said Governor Charles Whitman, o.
New York. before the Chicago Associa-
tion of Commerce, the Hamilton Club
and the Associated Business Paper
convention.
81 never realized before the degree
to which enthusiasm could raise" the
Governor said THE war spirit is
overwhelming. Stretching. from the
Atlantic seaboard one finds only pat
riotism and the desire to win and
to win quickly In the streets. in clubs.
hotels and on railroad trains | find
a feeling almost spiritual in its inten-
sity.
But it isn't patriotism of the brass
band type America knows this war is
going to cost the lives of many Ameri-
can youths. We are prepared for the
sacrifices. 1t will make the ultimate
crushing of the Kaiser so much moro
welcome.
81 predict a wildfire sale of the sec
ond issue of the liberty bonds. The
people of the United States have not
begrudged their sons; they will not
begrudge their money. ! am impressed
by the war spirit shown by the Middle
West. It's wonderful. The East can
no longer say that it alone has awaken
ed to the job ahead.
The lack of opposition to the draft
is striking. Despite the work of pro
pagandists and pacifists, | find littls
criticism of the selective service law
And the men of this country who have
been selected are just as enthusiastic
soldiers as the men who volunteered
when our Nation first declared state
of war. That's indicative of the
strength of the war spirit in the
United States.
1.-THE American people should bear in
mind the danger of boarding money
during the war. Dollars are as inn
portant as bullets. Money is needed to
operate factories and shops. Unless
we have the second line of defense at
full strength here at home, our first
line in France will be useless.
81 hope we will all realize the im-
portance of the work of Food Admins
traitor Hoover. The elimination OF
waste and the conservation of nee
assaries constitute another vital factor
in our war preparations. The Unfeed
States has a large job OH hand in
supplying the food necessary for the
soldiers, and the more we save at
home the easier that job will be-"

CONGRESSMAN MILLER
CHANGES WAR VIEWS
Says Americas Part Is More
Important Than He Had
Before Imagined.

That ten days inspection of the
efforts of France and England to make
war had altered all his views towards
the conflict, was the declaration of
Representative Clarence B. Miller of
Minnesota, member of the foreign rela-
tions committee of the house, now
visiting the European war zone.
Il am now convinced" he said. that
the part America must play to bring
the war to a successful issue is vastly
more important than | had ever imag-
ined. furthermore, / now see this is
war of people as well as of armies,
and this makes it all the more evident
that Americas wealth, resources and
man power must be given to it.
For the first time in history, the
British people are keenly alive to
America and her people. | believe that
Great Britain and America have been
drawn more closely together to bet
ter understanding in the past year
than at any time in history. BY France
the entrance of America will be re-
membered with the same appreciation
and in the same way as the divine in
spiration that moved Joan of Arc to rid
France of her enemies and TO bring
her new life.
THE part America is to play in this
struggle is, as leading Englishmen tell
me, gigantic, and, believe, as a result
her position among the nations of the
world will be made still greater"

Make IL very clear To the American
public said James Cambon, general
secretary to the ministry of foreign
affairs. to the Paris Associated Press
representative, referring To the recog-
milton given by David Lloyd-George,
the British premier, to the economic,
military and naval efforts of the Unit
ed States in the war, how highly pub
lie opinion and France appreciates all
that the United States has accom-
plished and how grateful it is for it,
1T is the general conviction that it
is the United States which will have
the honor to finish the war and place
it's foot on the monsters head" NJ.
Cambon continued. THE energy of
the American policy, as evidenced by
the embargo measure. met with the
entire approval of the French govern
ment"

The War is Americas War

This is Americas war. 1t is not a
rich mans war, it is not the war OF
any class or party, ii is a war OF all
the people; and never before in the
history of the world has the burden
of the conflict been divided so equally.
The draft has been framed to favor
the poor man. True, those of moder-
ate means will furnish most. but only
because of their greater numbers. The
poor man with dependents does not
have to go to war. the rich man has
no exemption if he is physically fit.
There are to be no hired substitutes,
each must bear the burden as it comes
to him.
The taxes have been designed to
fall as nearly equally as possible. That
the great corporations wanted war and
forced it. is answered in the profits
surtax of the United States Steel cor

poratl0n, fJr instance. which under
the war tax law must pay between
s225,000.O00 and $25O,000,OO0 annually.
The corporation was overrun with bus
mess before the United States entered
the war, and had no profits tax to
pay. This holds true with nearly all
munitions and other big moneyed con-
Germs. All were doing a limit bust
ness surely they could not be accused
of wanting the United States in the
war, with the attendant profit tax.
No, this is our war. We wanted it,
because our political existence as a
nation was threatened by a power too
menacing to be ignored. We are work
ing together. the burdens as equally
divided as may be; and whether the
war lasts one year or ten, we will con-
tinue to fight. as a nation, not as in
dividuals. For this is our war.
