Especial to the Leader Enterprise)

Washington, May 25.-Russia is out
OF the war as far as military power is
concerned for at least two years;
France is about at the end of her man
power. These were cold facts about
the war situation as seen by military
men who are in a position to know
whereof they speak, by reason of init.
mate knowledge OF American observ-
er's reports.
While Great Britain still has con-
siderable punch" left these military
men believe that the struggle abroad
is rapidly reaching the point where
the United States must bear the main
burden.

THANKSGIVING OFFERING
FOR THE FRENCH

once a generous hearted French
man came to the aid of the Amer
lean colonies, and at Yorktown the
French soldiers outnum bcrcd the
Americans. Today the land OF La
fayette is asking of America 100000
tons of sugar to relieve her distress.
We can but share our abundance
with our allies Of yesterday and to
day.
Americans consume sugar Ut the
rate Of seven and half pounds a
month per person The French have
been on an allowance Of less than
two pounds 4 month, and must soon
go without any unless we can help.
We have enough to carry us at our
present rate Of consumption until the
first Of the year, when the new crop
comes from Cuba. The French short
age will occur during the months Of
November and December.
Can we cut our customary allow
alice one-thlfd ana snare with those
who will otherwise have none of
this human necessity? Can you lead
a neighborhood sugar-saying move
ment? Organize the neighborhood
into sugar-saving circle and run
tally bulletin of the number of
pounds saved. Get your town paper
10 manage this part of the campaign.
Get the help of the schools, churches
and societies.
Less Candy, less sweet drinks, less
sugar on oatmeal, less cake and pie
for the next two months-then we
can make worthy Thanksgiving Of
fering from America to the people
Of Lafayette.

definite arrangements should be
made in advance of shipments. and
these can best be accomplished by
some such agencies as those suggest

The coming autumn, winter, and
early spring should be the best time
for gathering up the scrap metals,
getting in touch with the markets,
and arranging community shipments
The farmer should learn whether he
is too far from markets and should
ascertain the scope and extent of the

VOLUNTEER

LIEUT.. JONES. RECRUITING OF
FIcER FROM DENVER, OPENS
HEADoUARTERs HERE FOR
SECOND COLORADO REGIMENT
OF VOLUNTEERS.
SEVENTY MEN SIGN
TENTATlVE.A6REEMeNT

Efforts have been started in Canon
City to raise volunteer company of
infantry to be part of the End Colo
RADIO regiment. Lieutenant r. c.
Jones of Troop a. First Colorado
Cavalry has been detailed here on
recruiting duty and he is being as
sisted by Sergeant Park Ragsdale.
TIE rev unit IS sanctioned by Ad-
jutant General Baldwin and is being
organized under the authority of the
state altho it will have no relation
ship to the Colorado National Guard.
It viii be purely volunteer organi-
zation and the members will serve
only during the period OF the war.
They will be under the authority of
the state only for a brief period, in
fact, just from the time Of mobiliza-
tion until the unit is taken over into
the federal service.
The home station of the company
will be Canon City but the men will
be recruited from here, from the Grip
Florence. Salida and various other
points close about. II is hoped. how
ever, that the nucleus of the company
Will be enlisted here and this seems
entirely probable because thirty-five
men have already made agreement to
Join the local company. Thirty-ffve
men N Cripple Greek have also sis
nifi~d their intention o. joining
The reason for asking for volun-
:eers by the state is that II is the
ambition of those in charge OF mill
tary affairs to raise Colorado's first
quota without resorting to conscrip-
tion. OF course conscription win come
because congress has decreed it but
the military authorities feel that Col
orado's men can be modified and in
training long before the conscription
machinery has chance to produce
results
The recruiting headquarters for
Lieutenant Jones is over Esser and
crawford's cigar store. 1t is open all
day long and anyone interested can
get full information by calling there.
The phone number is Canon 447.
The strength OF tie company must
DE recruited up to 65 before it can
be accepted either by the state or tho
! federal government The war
strength is los men and the company
will eventually have to be recruited
up to that number. 1t is expected
that the peace strength. S5, can be
easily raised here and that sufficient
| men from the other localities can be.
obtained to have the full war strength
within few weeks
| All men from is 10 40 are eligible
for enlistment. Boys from 16 to Is
can join if they have the, consent of
their parents or guardians.
Lieutenant Jones says that this OPP
rortunity will probably be the last
hat the men will have to make vol
antary enlistment because after the
president gives his conscription proc
lamation the machinery of this sys-
TEN will be started at once. The pres
ident's proclamation is expected with
in the next month.
According to Lieutenant Jones the
sew company to be recruited here Is
not expected or intended to interfere
with Company c. in any way because
the men who want TO Join the Nation
al Guard viii be given every oppor-
| unity TO do so.
