NEW EXPLOSIVE BEING USED
RochamboIite, Introduced by French
on Western Front, Has Terrible
Effect on Enemy.

RochambOlite Is a new and terrible
explosive that has recently been intro
duced on the western front by the
French and employed in the defense Of
Verdun. says the Argonaut. The e1-
plosive, when tested In action at Yer
dun, was found to possess most ter
rible and demoralizing effect upon the
Germans.
The explosive is a powder which,
upon ignition, changes into a molten
metal and a very large volume of gas
In an Infinitely small space Of time.
This sudden change In volume and
the terrific heat which Is generated
cause an immense pressure on the
walls Of the vessel that contains 1t,
shattering the walls and hurling the
molten metal and wall fragments in
all directions. spreading death and de-
struction in their path.
The effect Of this molten metal on
the Germans can hardly be imagined.
Pieces Of metal upon striking them Inn
mediately burn their way deep into
the flesh, even to the bone, causing
intense pain and suffering to the VIC
tim. So deadly and SO demoralizing
have the French found this explosive
to be that they are now utilizing 1t ON
the entire front.

HOPES OF RUSSIA SHATTERED.
Minister Declares NatIen Faces Disas.
ter in Present Course.

Petrograd, May 16.-In an impas-
stoned appeal to delegates from the
front, at a meeting in Petrograd Sum
day, A. F. Kerensky, minister Of JUS
tice, made the most alarming diagno-
sis of Russia's internal crisis that has
come from any official since the revo-
luton.
The minister of justice, heretofore
optimistic and reassuring in his as
sertions, confessed that his confidence
had left him and that he feared disas-
ter.
Unless there is quick infusion of a
new spirit in the army and new un-
derstanding of freedom among the
masses, and unless the energy which
now is being used to bring about
peace is transformed into energy
working for the defense of the coun-
try, it is generally felt that Russia will
not long be able to go on with the
war.
Russian reverses along Caucasian
and Mesopotamian fronts reported.
British capture Roeux. east of Ar

Washington. = The unrestrained
wrath Of the Senate was poured
down upon the food gamblers and
Spectators Monday in one of the
most remarkable scenes in the his
tory of the chamber
Pirates" and Robbers were terms
frequently applied to those who profit
by speculations in food in the hour of
the nations need. The likelihood Of
food spectators being hanged to lamp
posts was limited at.
The storm broke when Senator
Thomas, (Dem), of Colorado. proposed
as an amendment to the administra.
tion espionage bill a provision to sus-
pend for the duration OF the war all
boards of trade, stock exchanges or
chambers of commerce which permit
speculation in futures in food.
Senators who opposed it did SO on
accomplished in another way, and
some thought 1t would stifle com.
merce. The great majority Of opinion
favored some drastic action to stop
food gambling and speculation.
After discussion the resolution was
defeated, 49 to "a.
The rapid rise in grain prices on
the Chicago Exchange has caused the
administration to redouble its efforts
in behalf of food control legislation al
ready introduced in both houses Of
Congress.
Chicago.-All trading in wheat fu-
lures was barred for period of two
days by the Chicago Board of Trade
on May 14th, which sets the worlds
prices for wheat, corn and oats.
Existing contracts, however, will be
permitted to be liquidated at Satur-
days closing prices. The board like
wise barred all trading in May corn
and May oats for the entire month.
No announcement was made as to
what will transpire after the expira-
tion Of the two-day period, so far as
July and September wheat is con-
cerned. May is permanently barred.
July wheat closed Saturday at 32.75
and September at $2.46. The settle
ment price for May, which was barred
Saturday. was fixed at $3.1S. May
corn closed Saturday at $1.61h. May
oats closed at 73h cents.
The Boards of Trade at st. Louis,
Minneapolis, Duluth, Kansas City and
Toledo suspended all trades in wheat
for two days.
noIo0ofoe % grain

Dry Clause Drastic.
The prohibition provision is exceed
ingly drastic. The president Is au-
'thorized to make regulations govern
ing the prohibition Of alcoholic liquors
''in or near" military camps. Not
only can liquor not be sold or sup
piled but 1t will be illegal for any
person to have in his possession any
intoxicating or spirituous liquors Mt
any military station, cantonment,
camp, fort, post or officers or enlisted
mems club.
It will be unlawful for anyone to
sell intoxicating liquor, including
beer, to any officer or member of the
military forces while in uniform.
Likewise, the social evil is guarded
against through the suppression and
prevention Of the setting up Of any
houses used for immoral purposes.
The fact that under the authority
Of congress the president is author
lied to call 1000, 900 men to the colors
is expected to have great moral ef-
feet in Germany. 1t is quite true that
the entire force he can commander
at this time will number two and a
quarter million. But even this num-
ber would constitute reinforcement
which British and French officers say
would assure victory If employed in
France.
Could Relieve British.
England to date has raised some
100000 men. With the exception Of a
couple Of million these men are at
the front in France, Belgium, Egypt,
the Balkans and Mesopotamia.
What the president and Secretary
Baker desire first and above all is to
train the officers and men. When they
are ready to fight the drilled troops Of
Germany, then probably they will be
sent abroad, and not before.
But Germany doubtless will watch
with increasing anxiety the prepared
ness Of the American people and will
realize that peace will be most desir-
able and necessary, before they are
ready for service In France.
Officers Go to France.
Three army medical officers-Maj.
William L. Keller and Capts. Daniel P.

Denver.-"There were 5.sO5 cases Of
measles in Colorado during the
months Of February and March, with
thirty-eight Deaths" says q statement
issued by the State Board Of Health,
which continues:
There used to be deeply cher.

mothers that every child had to have

early symptoms and strict quaran-
tine of the patient is effective in pre-
venting its spread. For every mother
to do her duty by her child and her

beginning.

and that it is far more fatal in chill

May Appoint Woman War Council.
Governor Gunter has under consid-

war council for the State Of Colorado,
the second body to consist Of women.
The duties of the second council will
be to take care of the war relief
measures and such other duties as
women can perform.
Cheyenne record., 1917-05-17

Eleven million male citizens from
twenty-one to thirty years old, inclu-
sive, will be subject to draft by the
president Of the United States.
But in order that men under twenty
one and over thirty may serve their
country II they SO desire, the measure
provides for the acceptance Of volun-
teers over eighteen years and under
forty years.
The gigantic number Of men subject
to draft will not all be called to the
colors by any means. The proposed
law gives authority to the president to
draft as many men as he deems nee
essary to fill up the regular army. the
National Guard and the conscription
force Of 1,OOO, 600 men.
2,0O1 900 Armed Men.
1t is estimated by the war depart
ment that as result of the authority
conferred and the action to be taken
2.OO1 900 officers and men will COM
prise the military establishment Of the
United States.
Under the new bill agreed to author
ity is given to fill up by draft the reg
ular army and the National Guard to
war strength. and to raise outside this
1,O0O,0 900 men. 100000 to come as the
first quota.
The war strength Of the regular
army is about 100000 men. It has
now about 135,OOO men and Is short
about $4,000. The National Guard
has a war strength of $685. 900 men. It
has now about 125, 900 and is short
about 100000 men.
Therefore, on the first call there can
be taken for war service about 655, 900
men to flll up gaps in the regular army
and National Guard and in addition
100000 as the first quota Of the con.
script army of 100000 men.
In the first draft it Is possible about
1,155,OOO men will be taken for active
service, leaving authorization under
the present bill to call out immedi-
ately 100000 more for another con-
script army.
No Place for Roosevelt.
The action allowing Col. Theodore
Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for
eign service has been eliminated.
What the colonel will do nov that
his pet project Is incapable of realiza-
ton Is question. 1t is generally un-
derstood that President Wilson is alb
solutely opposed to the idea Of a vol
unteer organization under command of
the colonel.
Pay for enlisted men and nom
officers was agreed upon
as follows:
Men now receiving less than $21
per month are increased to $31 per
month; those who received $24 are
to $32; men who receive $50,
$38 or $40 are increased So each; men
who receive $45 are increased to $50.
Army OFFICERS Pleased.
Army officers received notice of the
age limit with pleasure. They had
expected a higher maximum, though
they would rather have had the orig
inal ages Of nineteen to twenty-five.
A new section In the bill authorizes
the president to organize and equip
three machine-gun companies for
each infantry and cavalry brigade
and four machine-gun companies and
an armored motorcar for each in
fantry and cavalry division.
An interesting change is that the
