KIDNAPPED BABY FOUND IN WELL
City Gives Vent to Fury When Bruised
Body of Child Is Found.

Springfield, Mo.-Baby Lloyd Keet
was found dead June 9th The child
had been drowned in a well on an
abandoned farm at least four days, ac-
cording to the findings from an au-
topsy when the band of kidnapers who
took him, from his home May 30th be-
gan to fear capture. June 9th scores
of Springfield men in automobiles
were hurrying in pursuit of the coun
ty sheriff's automobile in which
seven persons suspected of compile
ity in the kidnapping and murder were
being sped to the state prison at JEFF
ferson City. Openly the pursuers de-
clared their intention of taking sum-
mary vengeance upon the perpetra
tors, but the prisoners denied their
guilt, and they were held by the sher-
iff.
Mr.. Keet repeatedly had offered to
pay any ransom sum demanded and
promised at one time that he would
not press the prosecution if the baby
should be returned to him.

Denver.-Colorados total registra-
ton for the new national army, June
9TH, was S3,03S, or S.3 per cent of the
states total population, proportion
that exceeds the percentages of sew
eral Eastern states.
Provost Marshal John Evans sent to
the War Department at Washington the
six chief summarization totals for the
state wanted Immediately by the de-
partment. His message was sent up
on receipt of the last county total, San
Miguel's.
These totals were: Whites who
claimed exemption or whose occupa-
tions or dependents indicated they
may be subject to exemption, 44,1O1;
total of whites, 72,70S; negroes who
claimed exemption or whose occupa-
tions or dependents indicated they
may be subject to exemption, $40; to-
tai of negroes, 931; aliens other than
enemies, 9O27; alien enemies, 372.
The totals of the whites and negroes
show that altogether there are 1881
registered Colorado men who either
claim exemption or may be subject to
it because of occupations and depend
ents, that there are 1883 whites and
negroes registered altogether and that
therefore, there are 2S,768 men. both
whites and negroes, who do not claim
exemption and are not liable to ex-
emption.
The number of Colorado men be-
tween the ages of 81 and 80 years, in
elusive, who are not liable to exemp-
ton is sufficient, therefore, to pro-
vide Colorado's quota for national
army of 100000 men and is almos.

army of 100000 soldiers.

NAL call at the United States embassy.
After the formal reception the King
shook hands with Gen. Pershing and
the members of his staff and ex-
pressed pleasure at welcoming the ad'
vance guard of the American army.
King George chatted for few mo-
ments with each member of Gen. Per
shing's staff. In addressing Gen. Per
shing the King said:
"It has been the dream Of my life to
see the two great English-speaking
nations more closely united. My
dreams have been realized. 1t is with
the utmost pleasure that 1 welcome

tingent to our shores"

1t seems opportune and appropriate
that should state again, in the light
of this new partnership, the objects
the United States has in mind in en-
tering the war These objects have
been very much beclouded during the
past few weeks by mistaken and mis-
leading statements, and the issues at

PRESIDENT EXPLAINS WAR AIMS
IN COMPREHENSIVE FLAG
DAY ADDRESS.
.BARES BERL|N'S PLOTS
FLAG is EMBLEM OF OUR UNITY,
POWER, THOUGHT AND PUR-
POSES AS A NATION.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washingto n.-President Wilson
warned the American people in a Flag
Day address on the Washington monu-
ment grounds that Germany has car
ried into effect the greater part of her
immediate plan of conquest, and now
is negotiating new intrigue OF
peace" designed to end the war while
her aggressions are secure.
All the central empires, the Presi-
dent declared, have been cemented
into one great autocracy-ridden en-
pire throwing a broad belt of Ger
man military power and political con-
troll across the very center of Europe
and beyond the Mediterranean into the
heart of Asia" This achieved, he said,
1t is easy to understand why Germany
is fostering a propaganda for an early
peace"
Peace, peace, peace, has been the
talk of her foreign office for now a
year and more,'' said the President.
"a little of the talk has been public
but most of it has been private.
Through all sorts of channels it has
come to me and in all sorts of guises.
The military masters under whom
Germany is bleeding, see very clearly
to what point fate has brought them.
If they secure peace now, with the inn
mense advantages still in their hands,
which up to this point they have ap-
parently gained, they will have justi-
fled themselves before the German
people; they will have gained by
force what they promised to gain
by it."
The President recited again the
German aggressions, which drove the
United States to war. He declared the
purposes for which American soldiers
now carry the Stars and Stripes to
Europe for the first time in history
are not new to American traditions be-
cause a realization of Germany's war
aims must eventually mean the undo
ing of the whole world. In opening, he
said:
"My fellow citizens, we meet to cele-
prate Flag Day because this flag
which we honor and under which we
serve is the emblem of our unity, our
power, our thought anu purpose DIS d
nation. 1t has no other character than
that which we give it from generation
to generation. The choices are ours.
1t floats in majestic silence above the
hosts that execute those choices,
whether in peace or in war And yet,
though silent, it speaks to us-speaks
to us of the past, of the men and wom-
en- who went before us and of the rec
ords they wrote upon it. We cele-
brate the day of its birth, and from
its birth until now it has witnessed a
great history; has floated on high, the
symbol of great events, of great plan
OF life worked out by a great people.
1--WE are ready to plead at the bar
Of history, and our flag shall wear a
new luster Once more we shall make
good with our lives and fortunes the
great faith to which we were born,
and a new glory shall shine in the
face of our people,"

Americn's Peace Terms In Brief.
Americas peace terms, in brief,
as outlined by President Wilson,
are as follows:
No territory must change hands
except for the purpose of securing
those who inhabit 1t a fair chance
of life and liberty.
No indemnities must be insisted
on except those that constitute pay
ment for manifest wrong done.
No readjustment of power must
be made except such as will tend
to secure the future peace of the
world and the future welfare and
happiness of it's people.
In unmistakable terms President
Wilson declared against Germany's
proposal to restore the status quo"
before the war.
TT was the status quo ante out
of which this iniquitous war issued
forth" he says, the power of the
imperial German government with
in the empire and it's widespread
domination and influence outside of
that empire. That status must be
altered in such fashion as to pre-
vent any such hideous thing from
ever happening again"
