Thru the courtesy Of the British

inspecting the battle front along the

been in progress this year. The un-

Gunncrs Weak.

Not only are the German gunners
blinded by reason OF allied air SUI
premacy. but the enemy is now hope
lcssly inferior both In the number or
cannon he can bring into action and
the supply of shells he can deliver
to- them. The situation in 1915, when
the allied soldiers had to endure con
stant shelling to which their own
guns could not reply. has been re-
versed British soldiers are genuinely
sorry for the German infantry today,
for they remember what they went
thru two years ago. and they know
how 1t feels. Early In 1916 the can
non and shells began pilins up on the
right side OF the lines. and British
staff officers think that approximately
last August in the middle of the
Somme battles. an equilibrium was
reached and the allies and the Ger
mans were about equal in fire power.
Since that time the allies, thanks In
no small degree to the efforts OF
America, have been drawing steadily
ahead There is now no comparison;

Our First Birthday

We have now been among the
people of Idaho Springs one year,
and we are not unmindful of the
fact that if it had not been for the
kindness and liberal patronage of
the citizens of the town and sur
rounding country, we would have
been forced to abandon our pur-
pose and our hopes: but through
their kindness and liberality we
feel that our efforts have not been
in vain. In the future, as in the
past, we shall bend every energy
in our power to place small line
of merchandise before the people at
just as small margin of profit as
is consistent with business
principles.
We are all aware of the fact
that no line has escaped soaring
prices, and the only consistent
thing to do is to keep expenses
down to the minimum. Unless
the merchant contents himself
with small profits, we will all come
to grief.
Thanking all who have favored
us in the past, we sincerely ask for
a portion of your trade in the
future.
