London.-The British have driven
their wedge above st. Quentin still
further toward the German lines,
reaching the outskirts Of Fresnoy,
Field Marshal Haig reports.
His statement detailed one of the
greatest aerial drives" undertaken
since the start of the war. The Brit
ish casualties were twenty-eight ma
chimes. Fifteen hostile machines were
seen to crash to earth to destruction
and thirty-one others were known to
have been driven down and damaged.
The official report reads:
I'm the neighborhood of st. Quentin
our troops gained ground during the
night at a number Of points between
the villages of Selency and Jeancourt
and Areached the outskirts Of Fresnoy.
Le-Petit.
There was considerable artillery
activity on both sides in the neighbor-
hood of Arras and in the Ypres sector
During the days and night of April
5 and our airplanes have been very
active, continually harrassing the enc.
my's communications a long way in
the rear and seeking out his fighting
machines at considerable distance
behind his lines. Large tracts of the
enemy's country for many miles in
the rear have been photographed,
more than LOO photographs being
taken behind the enemys lines"

Washington. Early entrance of sew.
eral of the South and Central Amer
lean nations into the war against Ger
many is regarded here as practically
certain.
Brazil, aroused by the sinking of her
steamship Parana, is expected to be.
come a belligerent this week, and it
is assumed that her lead will be fol-
lowed promptly by other countries.
Divided Opinion In Argentina.
Active support of the United States
by at least two of the five Central
American republics and possibly by
four will not be surprising. Official
and unofficial reports that Estrada
Cabrera, president Of Guatemala, is
contemplating seriously break with
Germany have been received.
So long as Mexico's course is unde.
fined unusual interest is attached to
the position the Central American
governments, especially that of Qua
temala, controlling the southern from
tier of Mexico In the event of the de-
velopment OF an unfriendly Situation
in Mexico 1t is realized that Guate-
mala's role would be far from unim-
portant.
In Guatemala Estrada Cabrera has
built up what is regarded generally as
the most efficient army in Central
America, and with it he would be in a
position to lend valuable assistance to
the United States. Antipathy be-
tween the Guatemalans and the Next
cans there has existed for years.
1t is known that earnest efforts
have been made by councillors of Ca
brera to induce him to enter prompt
ly into the war If he does place his
country in the list, it is expected that
Nicaragua will quickly follow and that
the long standing difficulties between
those two countries and Salvador and
Honduras may be swept away in de-
sire to present a united Central
America.

Who WELD the cruel scepter Of despotc pow'r
And with false cry of Liberty and Fatherand"
Did drive them on for in their tyrant foreheads just
Omniscient God hath burned the livd mark of Cain
Ye blood-drenched iron thrones of Hohenzoern and
Of Hapsburg, quake! Ye, too shall fall; for Liberty
Fen does ope the eyes Of men, unshacke minds
For ages bound with chains of slavery, which We
Did fOrge and misery pain and poverty, which they
In ignorance ascribed to God, they now perceive
These but children of your adamantine hearts
And calloused souls. Upon your fallen palaces,
Brave freemen yet shall build temple and shrine
To universal Brotherhood and Liberty
For these United States, Gods chosen guardians and
Apostles of true Liberty, will lead mankind
To earth's Elysium-Justice Peace Democracy.

daughter, and she is knitting
them. too.
The wristlets should be of tan
color, if possible, or dark gray or
some other subdued color. so they
will not attract the attention of
the enemy. They should never
be red or any other bright color.
They should be knit loosely enuf
to admit of drawing them on and
off over the hand, and should be
about five inches in length.
The editor suggests that inside
of each pair you pin or sew lit
tie slip of paper, with your name
and address plainly written there
on, so the soldier boys may know
who sent them.
And to aid the movement, and
also to do something for his coun
try, the editor wants to publish
in the paper the names of every
young lady who joins in this
worthy undertaking. Let us
have your names as fast as you
knit them.
Write Colonel Mccarthy a note
telling him you are knitting some
wristlets and ask him where you
are to send them. He will ans
wer your letter promptly and
will tell you just what TO do with
them in order that they may get
to the right place. And he will
be immensely pleased to hear
from you because of what you
are doing for "the boys"

peal to you in the name of our

and at the same time be a Good

order that you may have coun-
try in which to live in peace and
security.
Every young man who goes to
war needs from two to three pairs
of wristlets to wear around his
wrists in the chilly trenches of
France. They will prevent thou
sands of bad colds and many hun
dreds of deaths from pneumonia.
Blu. wristlets are not part of
the equipment furnished to each
soldier by the government. Hence
if you, the warm hearted young
ladies' of our country. do not make
them our boys will not get them.
Colonel Daniel E. Mccarthy,
department quartermaster of the
Central Department. U. s. Army
Chicago. III. is so warm hearted
and generous and patriotic that
he is working nearly twenty hour
a day in his efforts to make ar
rangement for the comfort and
well being of the troops. But
Colonel Mccarthy, strong and
brainy man that he is. can not
furnish them wristlets because
the government does not author
.ze him to do so.
Will you help Colonel McCar-

of you constitute yourself his aid
and knit at least one pair of wrist
lets for some girls brother?"

By proclamation President vii
son has set a Registration Day.
June 5th, when every male citi-
zen of Colorado -and all other
states-between the ages of q
and 80 (inclusive) must register
at places to be designated for
possible military duty. Failure
to comply renders the delinquent
liable to six months imprisonment
and military service at the expi-
ration of that period.
John Evans. president of the
International Trust Company. of
Denver, has been patriotically
assisting the governor and Adju-
tant Baldwin in working out the
details of tie registration. Sick
ness will not be an excuse for
non-registration, unless an army
surgeon has examined the man
and found him too ill to comply
with the law. Nor will absence
from home be accepted as excuse
Each man between 21 and 80
MUST register on THE day.
