ENTER PROTEST
Call Proposed Increase
"Plan To Close The
Mails"
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, May IL. - Newspaper
publishers were here today to protest
to the senate finance committee
against the increase in second-class
mail rates by application of the parcel
post zone system, proposed by the ST.
500, 600, 900 war tax bill.
The committee also considered the
provision for stamp and estate and
Inheritance taxes, to which there were
many objections. The house resumed
debate on the bill and leaders hope
for its passage early in the week.
A statement prepared by a commit
tee Of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers association headed by DON G.
Seitz OF The New York World, said
the proposed postal increase was a
"coldbIooded proposition to close the
malls to newspapers and would re-
suit in so much loss in circulation es-
pecially among farmers that postal
income would decrease and the rural
carrier system woul entail an even
greater loss than at present.

CLEAR WAY FOR
TEDDY" TO GO
Roosevelt's Volunteers Will
Soon Lack Only Presi-
dents Approval
(Ry Associated Press.l J

Washington, May 14.-The way was
cleared in congress Saturday for
Colonel Roosevelt, Ii he Is given
authorization by the administration,
TO raise a division Of volunteers for
service in France.
Reversing its previous action and
overriding the conference committee
on the army draft bill the house voted
215 to ITS to empower the president
to extend authority for recruiting
such division. This sent the army
bill back to conference but the senate
already had adopted similar authori-
zation during original consideration of
the measure and its conferees are ex-
pected to agree quickly to 1t now.
Whether the necessary authority
would be given Colonel Roosevelt by
the administration is problematicaI.
Colonel Roosevelt made no secret OF
his delight at the action of the house,
but he refused to discuss at length his
plans for putting a military force in
the field until his authorization to do
so becomes Official

LONDON, May 14.-Wh0 Is to be the
bride Of the Prince of Wales?
Before the war it was generally be-
lieved that he would take a German
princess or one Of the daughters of
the czar. Now the British people are
in bitter opposition to his marrying
into the German royal family, even
after the war, and the czars daugh-
ters will not be suitable because they
have lost their titles British law
stands between the prince and any Of
Catholic faith, so that in all the courts
OF Europe friendly to Britain there is
lshardsy q single eligible princess.
In Great Britain there is strong
and growing sentiment in favor Of the
princes marrying an English girl. The
royal family is foreign enough now,
with its preponderance of German
blood. The prince is declared to be
favorable to the plan of finding a
wife in the United Kingdom.
According to a report now current
in London, the prince has about de-
cided to marry his first cousin, Prin-
cess Maud Alexandria Victoria, daugh-
ter Of the Duchess Of Fife and the late
Duke of Fife. The princess is a grand
daughter OF the late King Edward.
She boasts many mplishmentS,
and since the outbreak Of the war has
worked constantly for the British Red
Cross.

THE WAR

Nothing Of very startling nature
occurred on the various war fronts
during the past week.
In northern Italy, the Austro- Ger
man invasion has been halted, aided
by British artillery and French re-
inforcements.
On the French Flanders front, the
British and French continue their
pounding operations.
In the Near East, the British have
gained another notable victory over
the Turks.
The Russian situation is still a
muddle, but the provisional govern
ment is still intact and seems to be
getting the best of the latest re-
belliOn.

What Are we Going to Get Out o

The following from the Des Moines
Capital answers the above question: !:
Every traitor and every near
traitor in the United States is in
quiring: What are we going to get
out of this war?"
Well among other things, we are
going to get n better grade of patri-
Ottem than we have been having.
We are going to put an end to
buHding up foreign colonies in the
United States as breeding places for
treason.
We are going to quit. making the
foreigner believe he is the only
creature on earth worth while.
We are going to love every
foreigner who really becomes an
American, and all others we are
going to ship back home.
We are going to stop hiring men in
the banks and public offices simply
because they speak foreign Ian

We are going to have consultations
With the I. w. WIS. to ascertain
whether or not they have real
grievance or any just cause for their
reasonable mouthings and threats.
Ifthey have any just cause we are
going to remove it; then we are going
to shut their mouths for good and all.
We are not going to let men come
into the United States without some
kind of bond guaranteeing that they
are not going to engage in burning
property or in carrying on secret
work on behalf of the country they
came from.
Out of this war we are going to get

We are going to have the freest

freedom by which to convert freedom
into treason.

Current Comment

Some people say the Democrats
got us into this war, let them get us
out. This is just the way the copper
heads talked about Lincoln during
the Cival war. The rank and file of
the Republicans criticised Wilson
for taking so 'much from the Ger
mans, and II they had been in power
we would have either bluffed the
Kaiser out by a bold stand or we
would have been In the war long
before we were. Wilson may not
have done as some wished he would,
but that he is fighting for American
rights, and waging one of the noblest
wars ever undertaken by our nation
we must admit. We did not vote for
Wilson but we are back of him to
the last ditch. This is no time to
talk partisan politics, but it is high
time that every patriot show his
patriotism in any and every reason
able way."-Routt County Republi-
can.

shot at the Germans is an American

A Beautiful Tribute

Following is the press dispatch ac-
count of the burial OF the first Ameri-
cans to fall in France:
France. Nov. 1O.-(Delssed) --Ameri-
can artillerymen sent salvO Of
shells whistling over to Boche-land
today as the farewell volley marking
the burial of Americas first dead
from the firing line.
1t was fitting, in the opinion of
those whose eyes glistened with tears
throughout the simple, but dramatic,
funeral services, that the volley
which marks the last farewell should
have been fired, not by squad and
with blank cartridges; but by Ameri-
can gunners shooting the great
French seventy-fives and speeding
each shell with prayer that it
would find it's mark among the
enemy.
The collins Of Americas first dead
In action were draped in the folds OF
the American flag for which they
died. Comrades bore them to the
center of hollow square formed by
American soldiers and veteran
French troops. From the massed
ranks there stepped French general.
He walked straight to the three cof-
flns. reverently hesitating at the first.
Then he stiffened to salute. doffed
his cap, bowed, his face lined as
though the mute remains before him
were Of his own children.
Private Enright," he said, softly,
as he bowed before the nearest bier;
land Private Gresham" and he
turned to the second, land Private
Hay" as he turned still farther to
face the third coffin.
I'm the name of France I bid you
farewell. or your own free will you
left your happy, prosperous country
and took your place by our side.
"You fell facing the foe, in hard,
desperate hand-to-hand fighting"
The general hesitated moment.
looked at each Of the three flag
draped collins, and then turned.
.'All honor to them" he continued.
"Their families should be proud to
learn OF their deaths.
I'VE of France ask that the mortal
remains of these young men be left
with US forever.
I'VE will inscribe on their tombs:
"'Here lie the first United States
soldiers to fall on French soil for
liberty and Justice
"Passersby will uncover their heads
to their graves; men OF heart visiting
the battlefield will go out of their
way to bring their tribute of respect
and gratitude.
"Private Enright, Private Gresh-
am, Private Hay-in the name of
France, 1 thank you. May God re-
ceive your souls. Farewell"
A great volley of seventy-fives
crashed the final volley OF farewell
through the leaden, rain-soak ed air.
Then stalwart American soldiers, the
tears trickling down their faces,
lOWtEeu JuelF Coulfduts EtHIdiils hiu
covered them over with the soil for
which they fought and died.
No one who ever saw the simple
ceremony will ever forget it.
Throughout the rain drizzled dis
maliy. The detonation Of exploding
shells and the shrek of others pass
ing through the air sang the soldiers
final requiem.
Batteries of American artillerymen,
returning from their duty at the
front, met the funeral. Their rum
bling caissons halted, their ranks
parted, and, rigid at salute, the
Americans bade their dead Godspeed
as the cavalcade passed slowly
through.
Then the batteries went on.
