TROOPS TO LINDA VISTA
FIRST BATTALION OF ENGiNEERs
LEAVE GOLDEN.
Other Soldiers viii Depart Soon on
Their First Step to Actual
Warfare.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Colorado has started her
soldiers on their first step to actual
warfare. There was little demonstra-
ton. because the government has q
way OF keeping its movements secret.
but there was enough known to bring
out showing of mothers. sisters.
wives and all that usually attends the
departure OF soldier.
The first Of the troops to leave was
the First battalion OF engineers, for
some time stationed at Golden. Long
before the dawn of the day of their
departure these boys had been pre-
pared to depart for their new camp at
Linda Vista, Cal. and they impatient
ly awaited the cars which were to
take them. Relatives and friends were
at their entrainment point at sunup.
and waited until the train pulled out,
some time during the afternoon" The
route will be kept secret until the men
reach their new camp. They go to
prepare the camp for the other Colo
RADIO troops who are to follow, and
are In command of Mai. Joseph G.
Taylor. formerly a member OF the fac
ulty of the Colorado State School Of
Mines.
At Camp Baldwin the scene attend
ing the departure of the Field Hospi-
tai corps was not one which would
have attracted attention to the ordi-
nary observer. There were a few
cheers and q glad yell as the coaches
began to move
Other troops stationed at Camp
Baldwin and at Fort Logan expect to
be called out within few days. 1t Is
reported that the order to move has
been advanced. although nothing is
certain in this respect Reports that
the camp at Linda Vista will not re-
quire a great deal of work TO place It
in condition for occupancy are rife.
and. II this is true. it may be that Fort
Logan and Camp Baldwin will be de-
serted within few weeks. The fact
that a final federal inspection was
made at Fort Logan. at Camp Bald
win and at Camp J. c. Gunter. Pueblo.
lends color to the theory that move
ment is to be ordered.
All the paraphernalia at both Fort
Logan and Camp Baldwin that is not
absolutely necessary has already been
removed

In almost every other town from
which we receive an exchange, the
departing solder boys were banqueted
and given rousing farewell on the
eve of their departure for the front.
We do not believe for a minute that
the people of Delta have thought any
less of their sons: 1t can only be at
tributed to the fact that in the busy
season rush proper farewell to the
boys was simply overlooked 1t is not
too late for redemption, however.
There will be another contingent and
a much larger one. when the forty per
cent of the first draft goes on Sep
tember 10 The boys are doing their
bit and all who have gone from here
are making good. No word comes
from any Of the camps except to the
effect that Delta can well be proud
OF her men who have enlisted. We
move that committees be appointed
to see to 1t that the next contin-
gent Is not sent away without the
right kind of farewell.

The people of Nucla and vicinity
have shown a spirit greatly to be
admired during the building of the
Delta Nucla road. One man has sub
scribed cash to aid the construction
and his wife has gone out to the
camp and cooked for the men They
have all gotten right into the game
and given their own county to under
stand that the road would be built
IL they had to do every bit of it.
With this gameness existing there has
never been any question of the road
not being completed. Furthermore,
they have done their work we'll. The
Nucla Independent and its able manag-
er. w. A. Hopkins, have had much
to do with arousing interest in the
project and keeping 1t up. He has
never let up boosting for it, Another
month will see the road in use and
we believe 1t will prove strong
bond between the people of Delta and
the Nucla district May their rela-
tions ever be pleasant. peaceful and
profitable.

Considerable hazing seems to have
been carried on by local high school
students last week. We heard of one
boy being tied up on top of one of
the school buildings another was
taken out of town a couple of miles
in an automobile and left with his
shoes off to walk home. There were
numerous other pranks These are
only a couple of illustrations Such
idiocy has been put under the ban
in most parts of the civilized world
and it is surprising that the Delta
school board and faculty will tolerate
it. Boys often lose their heads in
their so-called enthusiasm and inflict
injuries on their fellow students from
which they never recover Fortunate
ly nothing serious has been reported
here. but who can say that there will
not be II the practice goes on?

Modern Idea of Greatness.

When we ask what it is that we mod erns deem to constitute greatness among the men of our own or a con- paratively recent time, we feel that the standard has somewhat changed, says James Bryce in the Youths Com- panion. We set less store by monarchs, for they do not fill the stage of the world as they once did, although some of them have still large opportunities for doing good or harm. Neither do we give quite such special honor to mili- tary glory as former ages did. Never theless, the essential qualities that daz- gle the eyes of man may be still the same. speak chiefly of the greatness that consists in action, for the ruler, the statesman and the warrior do their work in the sight of the world and can be judged by it, whereas the poet or the philosopher may have long to wait for recognition, and even a su- preme scientific discovery may not be appreciated until long years have been spent in working out its applications.

SECRETARY BAKER SAYS GERMANY
 SEEKS DECISION
Huns Realize Cannot Much Longer Endure Strain of
 Warfare of Allies.

Washington, Dec. 3.--An effort by the Germans to bring on decisive engagement on the western front is suggested in the war departments re- view of military operation for the week ending December l, issued to- night by Secretary Baker.
 "The outstanding features of the general military situation,' says the review, lis to be found in the ever increasing mobility of action of the forces engaged"
 > Static warfare is giving way to activity of movement
 ''lt means that decision is being sought by the enemy, who realizes that he cannot endure for a much longer period the strain of trench warfare imposed by the allies on the west.
 '"This explains the efforts of the central powers in massing consider able forces in order to invade Italy a concentration of troops made pos sible by the internal situation in Rus sia. This offensive was undertaken to crush the Italians and oomoel them to sue for peace"

 R. R. POOLING PLAIN
Head of Cotton Belt Sees Improvement in Transportation Situation Thru
 War Boards Scheme,

St. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 3.-The rail
 roads war board has just taken viz
 orous action to spur the railroads to redoubled efforts to increase their ef- ficiency in order to meet the extra ordinary demands for transportation this winter. This information, charac- terized by President J. M. Herbert of the Cotton Belt railway lines as one of the most important steps that has been taken by the railroad executives, carries with it the announcement that more than dozen specific instructions as to additional methods for increasing the capacity of their equipment and facilities have been issued by the war board, through it's chairman.
 While repeating and emphasizing the suggestions previously made, un- der which about 16 per cent more traf- flee was handled during the second quarter of 1917 than during the cor responding period of 1916, the board directs attention to the extraordinary additional amount of transportation that the carriers are being called upon to supply, and the new instructions go further than any that have previously been issued.
 Wherever possible, railroads are di- rected to arrange for common use of treminals and facilities, to tade over threatening emergencies" They are told, wherever transportation can be conserved to avoid the use of unrea- sonable circuitous routes, carefully aviding. however, overlooking direct 
 Another important instruction is: "Lengthen passenger and fast freight train schedules during the winter, to promote punctualitv, and avoid de- moralization of traffic that invariably follows failure of regular trains to make their schedules"

MEN WANTED

Al . result of the war there il an
 enormous demand in all lines of busi-
 ness, both public and private, for trained men and women. Leading men of the nation are unanimous in the opinion that 1t is a patriotic duty for men who are not eligible for army service to pursue bus1ness or techni- cal training and fit themselves for ser. vice elsewhere.
 Young men who are not in the se. lective draft, are wanted in business positions provided they have the right training. Little Rock and Arkansas business men are begging now for trained help; they need men-xreat numbers of them-and must have them. It is splendid opportunity tor those who will train themselves in bookkeeping. shorthand, and ether branches of clerical work.

Ark, advises that tho demand for office help has trebled in volume during the last three or four months. and that in August alone. nearly 200 positions were offered the students of his school A very large majority could not be filled as there was not sufficient number of trained students available. MT. Mclean strong. iy urges business training and says that wonderful opportunities are now open to the young men and women of Arkansas.
