House Debate on Army
Bill Ends Tomorrow
(By United Press)

WASHINGTON, April 25 - De-
bate on the war army bill in the
house will continue thru tomorrow
under agreement between Chairman
Dent of the military committee and
Representative Kahn, leader of the
conscriptIon forces. Kahn, who is the
ranking Republican of the commit
tee is appearing in an unusual role,
when acting as spokesman for the
President and the administration.
Nicholas of South Carolina is
among the southern representatives
who have joined Chairman Dent Of
the military committee in champion
ing the volunteer plan which carries
with it provision for drafting, if
the plan fails.
Adams Of Georgia; Lunn Of New
York; Greene of Vermont; Crago Of
Pennsylvania and Mckenzie of Hi
nois are among the representatives
who believe with Representative Kahn
that drafting is the only system Of
raising an army adequate to the coun-
try's needs and have made strong
speeches in favor of it.
The judiciary committee has fav-
orably reported out the proposed spy
bill. The naval committee fayorably
reported Secretary Daniels recon-
mendation to increase the navy and
marine corps.

American Liner
Sinks Submarine

Especial to Herald by Phone from
United Press.)
DENVER. April 25. Early this
afternoon a story was circulated from
Associated \ Press sources to the eff
feet that the American steamship
Mongolia, Captain Rice in command,
Lad arrived at British port and had
reported that the crew had fired up
on and sank German submarine.
The United Press Immediately ca
bled their London office and the nav
al censor at Washington, but the story
could not be confirmed from either
source. The naval censor at Wash
ington stated that he had no authen-
tic information which would warrant
him in confirming the story. The
United Press London office also stat
ed the story of the alleged sinking
could not be confirmed.

PLACING MOTOR SIGNS

Today f. P. Wilson, secretary of
the Durango Motor club, has been
out putting the motor club signs in
place. Several are being placed in
or near the city. Those in the coun-
try will be put in place by the coun-
ty commissioners, so we are inform
ed. The motor club here is under OBJ
legation to the Colorado Telephone Co.
for furnishing the help necessary in
digging the holes for the iron posts
and also to Henry Cordes of the San
Juan Creamery for his motor truck
used in taking the signs to their
proper places. These signs will be
of great service to the travelling pub
lie in that they will convey the par
ticnlar information necessary for
those who travel.

ChaIIengers win
Bowling Contest

Sure enough the big bowling match
was played last evening with large
number Of spectators present. The
contest was lively from the very be-
ginning. 1t was magnificent dis
play of skill and good humor. 1t is
such contests that develop both mind
and body. 1t is such friendly rivalry
that brings out all the higher quail
ties of American manhood. Both
teams contested every pin from the
very beginning and the challengers
won out by l6 pins on a grand total
of three games.
Now the losers in order to show
their appreciation of their opponents
skill and success will banquet them
at the Strater hotel this evening at
7;30. They will have the pleasure of
entertaining as their guest at that
time Jas. 7. Duggan of Denver who
is out of over the state in the inter
est of the coming state bowling tour
nahent to be held in that city. Mr..
Duggan had the pleasure of witness
ing the big contest last night and
was most agreeably surprised that
our city has number of the best
bowlers in the state. 1t is his inten-
tion to have a Durango team go to
Denver and take part in the state
tournament. All Durango will be
glad to encourage our boys along this
line and back them in every way pos
sibe. A good team going to Denver
will make good advertising for the
whole San Juan. We hope our boys
will find the time to get away from
their business. 1t must be remember
ed that all are young business men
and have their every day duties to
perform.
1t will be interesting to note the
following remarkably high scores
made in the contest last night:

ROME, April .. = Pope Benedict
has been informed by papal nuncios
in Teutonic countries that the gener-
al strikes are closely approximating
a revolution.
Regardless of the German reports
to the contrary, it has been ascertain
ed that fully 100000 workers are in
volved in the Berlin strike alone. The
silence the central empires are keep
ing serves to accentuate the serious
ness of the internal troubles. The
Berlin Tageblatt does make the ad-
mission that the -menbers of two mu-
milton workers unions have refused
TO return to work, and have been told
by the government il they do not do
so, they will be called to the olors.
Reports from both Austria and Ger

at once 10 cultivate every waste place
in the state.
The campuses of the three big state
schools at Manhattan, Emporia and
Lawrence will be turned into potato
fields. The Kansas state agricultur,
al college and the department of ag-
riculturc have "enlisted' in the work
which promises more crops grown in
Kansas than any previous year.
The banker who refuses TO finance
the seeding and cultivating of Kansas
fields, as liberal as prudence will al,
low will be branded by the governor
as a Stacker, according to letter
to the bankers of the state urging
their cooperation.
The time is short and the need is
urgent, the appeal to the bankers
stated. Encourage the utilization of
vacant land in town and country and
the farmers to increase their crop
acreage as much as possible without
sacrificing the grass lands required
for stock.
In message TO the people Of the
state, Governor Capper declared 1t's
the biggest part Kansas can play in
the war and the state must not fail
on the job. Kansas must furnish its
proportion of men at the front and
there must not be a single shirker in
the state for the work AT home. The
fellow who goes to the front must
not be the only one to fight for hi.

NEED NOW OF ATHLETICS
TO CONTINUE
(By II. c. Hamilton)

(By Ii. G. Hamilton)
United Press staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, April 20. Whole
sale calling Off of college athletics
in the United States since this coun-
try and Germany decided to fight it
out is doubtful method Of helping
the nation prepare for its struggle.
Depriving the country's young men
Of tissue and health hardly seems
the way to get them ready to join
any branch Of fighting forces.
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, the fore
most military fig.re in the country
is strong supporter of athletics in
every form. He believes in the games
because they build strong bodies,
clean minds, and fearless character.
There are others who want 10 see a
certain percentage of athletics con-
tinue.
The Penn relay meet has not been
called off. 1t has been stated by ath-
letic authorities at Pennsylvania uni
versity that the meet will be turned
into magnificent patriotic demon
stration as well as a gathering Of
some of the nations most prominent
athletes.
Harvard, Cornell and Michigan un-
iversitles, however, have given notice
that they will not send teams To the
competition this year. As they are
three of the most important schools
who send teams to competitions of
this kind. the meet will suffer from
their absence. The meet should prove
however, that athletics are a neces-
sary part Of preparation for military
service.
In addition to the physical value OF
athletics, there will be another val
ue in the fact that college games and
the happy spirit that goes with them
will serve to take strain off the
nerves of thousands. Diversion will
be greatly needed in the days u
come. Athletics should be allowed II
play their part.
The continuation of these game,
should not hinder enlistments. wher
these men are needed they will bs
found ready. Many of them have Of

German Counters
lBy United Pressl


LONDON, April, 25. - The inten-
sive fighting in progress this week
has resulted in the British capturing
various important German positions
and more than three thousand prison
ers since their renewed offensive
Monday. Material advances have
been made despite opposition of the
Germans, who are using men with
reckless prodigality of human life.
British artillery has literally torn
portions of the human lines to pieces
Lens has been placed in danger
Gus position by the progress on the
northern end of the battle line. The
capture of Bilhem, northeast of Tres
cault, last night, is reported.
The renewed aerial activity is due
TO the return of good weather on the
western front. In the air encounters
the British are proving complete
masters. Yesterday, according to
Haig's report, forty airplanes fell
prey to the British aviators.
