GERMANS FEAR NEW GUNS OF

(By United Press)

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN THE FIELD, April 25. - The smash ing effect of British artillery and its demoralizing influence on the Ger mans continue to be the theme of de serters and prisoners confessions, sol diers' diaries and reports of officers
 From Il a. m. until 5:30 p. m. the trench lay under a heavy and very effective fire which continued with out a stop" wrote a company com mander of the 31st infantry regiment of the 18th division, in his report which was captured with the writer. Nothing is left of the trenches and the dugouts are so much damaged that they cannot be used. The location of our dugouts must be accurately known as shell after shell bursts right on top of them, or quite close by. Also between 10 and II D. m. the enemy's artillery of both medium and heavy calibre shelled the trench with un- precedented violence. Enemy airmen lowered over our positions the whole day and came down very low. They directed the fire throughout. Our own artillery seemed to have fired very little. German airmen appeared only towards the evening, but the enemy's airmen would not let them selves be disturbed in their work. Nothing is left of the trench.
 "The enemy appears to be using a new type of gun and shell. A red flame is visible, but we cannot hear the report of the gun. The shell bursts with an explosion resembling that of mine and the destructive area of the burst is large

SKETCHES OF MEN WHO RUN
 THE UNITED STATES NAVY.
(By United Pressl

WASHINGTON. April 25. - Even before the navy, the nations first line of defense is the marine corps.
 Should our fleet or any part of its see service on foreign shores. it will be a squad of marines who first set foot on land. Every first line battle. ship of the navy carries aboard a per. manent detachment of marines.
 Subject to the sea or shore dutv they are the ambpibions of the navy generally recognized as the most veri. table and elastic branch of the ma tional defense. Kipling spoke of the British marine as Soldier and sailor. too" It's the same fin our navy.
 Major General George Barnet is commandant in charge of the U. s. marine corps.
 He has been through thirty-six years of adventurous service, largely in for eign countries.
 He participated in the landing of the U. s. marines in China, when foreign governments joined to quell the noted boxer uprising.
 Later in 1906, he commanded an ex. peditionary force to pacify Cuba, when an attempt was made to throw off the republican form of government.
 In addition, he has seen extensive service in Panama, the Philippines and other parts of the tropics.
 His reports on fitness" says the navy department official record. "have been uniformly excellent and his wide experience will enable him to render valuable service as head of the marine corps.

ENGLISH PUPIL { PRACT|CNG
 ECONOMY
(By United Press)

LONDON, April 25. - The English public school boy is doing his little for England today.
 Eton and Harrow. England's two great public schools. have given up tuck shops" and creases until after the war. The boys of Harrow decided on their own initiative not to buy any more pastry or candy at the tuck shops and not to have their trousers pressed while the war lasts. The boys of Eton had measures similarly re- stricting their gastronomics and their neither garments thrust upon them.
 Bread, meat and sugar, the A B C's of the food controllers thou shalt nots" are included in the sweeping ordinance the youngsters of Harrow imposed upon themselves.
 They have agreed not to buy any article of food containing these three substances except during the regular hours for meals, and then to stay within the suggested limits each week. AS for their tailors, they're going to cut them out altogether. The good old under the mattress" hiding place will have to do the trick to keep the young Harrowians from looking as though they were ready to jump.
 The Eton boys neglected to adopt similar measures in time and the teachers did it for them. Besides i'm. posing strict regulations for the young Etonian's foddering, the faculty has decided to assist the railroads of the country by cutting down unneces- sary travelling. So the Eton boys won't have any vacations this year.

GREAT LAKES, H.. April 25. - Born of patriotism and nourished by war, this town of Great Lakes bids fair to soon become the greatest na. val recruit mobilization point in the world.
 Before the outbreak of hostilities with Germany, there were several hundred rockies" at the naval train ing station here They flocked in at the rate of more than 100 a day, un- til now a population of 10000 is soon expected.
 The government obtained use of 157 acres on each side of the original station, to accommodate the crowds of youths that swarmed to enlist. A new city of tents sprang up. Now gov ernment engineers are preparing to drain a new tract, where more tents will be pitched. It was even neces- sary to cover the parade ground with canvas housings for Uncle Sam's em- bryO blueiackets.

 GOD?-CONSlDE
(By United Press)

DENVER, April 25. - The life of a deputy attorney in Denver is a hard, hard road to travel, anyway. But the crowning ignominy has been heap don Con K O'Byrne - who is Irish, as his name implies.
 O'Bryne suspected that a Chinese witness, being sworn in the police court, did not realize the meaning of the oath he was taking.
 Sell Lung, known as the mayor of Denver's Chinatown, was the wit ness. But O'Bryne did not know this. China boy savve God?" he queried as Lung took the oath.
 "Mr Attorney, if you mean do un- derstand the entity of our Creator, I will simply reply that on next Sun day night I shall address a body of my fellow eountrymen upon the sub ject of the divinity of Christ, and shall be pleased if you will attend" replied the Chinaman in perfect English.

Those who were fortunate
enough to see the play learned

Little man. big man, fat or tall
Bachelor, widower, young or
old,
Just any kind of a man at all"
A great deal of the success Of
the play was due to the musical
part which opened the play. Mrs.
Ferris and Hattie Weaver gave
vocal solos, Ralph Staley of Den

of Denver, a violin solo, all which
were splendidly rendered.
The play netted the association

The President of the United

that the American people give
100000, 900 for the use of the
great American Red Cross Socie-
ty. This money will be used to
bring relief to the suffering of
our boys who go to the front to
fight the battles of our glorious
country. We cannot all fight
but we can ali give our time and
our money to aid in this noble
m0vem2nt.
President Wilson says: "a
large, well-organized and efficient
Red Cross is essential. 1t is both
a patriotic and a humane service
that is rendered by every citizen
who becomes a member of the
American Red Cross" More than

find a place suitable. 1t requires
considerable space with lots of
shade and plenty of water.
Golden offered the free use Of the
operahouse in case of rain and
also the use of her beautiful park,
so our misfortune lies in the
fact that we have no city park,
which everyone knows, goes a
long way toward making a town
attractive not only for such occa.
