thiest nations in the world, the
United States aud Britain. And
unfortunately for Germany, these
nations are not only amongst
the best fighters in the world,
but are also the most determined,
the veritable "die.hards" of the
nations.
Under the circumstances, and
with such prospects, what will
Germany and Austria do? Will
they fight to the bitter end, or
will they recognize that they are
beaten and make what terms
they can with the foe? 1t may
be that if Hindenburg had his
way the Germans would fight to
the last ditch; but the Germans
are not all Hindenburl g. There
seems little reason to doubt that
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey

just such a chance. 1t is posi-

possibility which we cannot af-
ford to loose sight OF, that the
German democracy, SO long de-
ceived with lying promises and
stories OF victory, will awake to
the true nature OF the struggle
and END the war by ending the
Hohenzollerns and the Junkers.
The world will have no quarrel
with a free Germany. The fact
that Scheidemann, just back from
the Stockholm conference, has
declared for the characterization
of Germany, IS at least a hopeful
sign. But whether the end be
near or far, the Allies are into the
war to end the peril to the world
which lies in Germany's military
ambition.-Christian Guardian.

WHEN WILL II END!

*0CW6 WOO uooh0N W.
|'pf the civilized world thatagreat
Swar had broken out, there were
New who believed it possible such
ka war could last more than a
|year, or at most two years. A
few suggested that it might last
for three years, but it was gener
ally believed that it would be ut
terly impossible to protract such
a strife, on account OF the utter
national collapse which it was
held to involve. Yet, now, neal
the end of the third year, the col
lapse has not come, and there is
no apparent on the surface why
the struggle should notlast three
years longer.
1t was firmly believed that the
Central powers would be COM
PEELED to make peace because Of
complete physical exhaustion,
but although the expenses OF the
war have been very much great
er than was formerly estimated,
and although some financiers in.
sist that Germany is now practi-
cally bankrupt, there are few
bold enough to assert that the
speedy end of the war is assured
by the financial difficulties OF the
enemy.
And it was believed most firm
ly, and British statesmen decla-
ed most positively, that the Brit
ish feet would soon secure such
a stranglehold on the enemy as
to force them to sue for peace.
Yet three years have gone, and
Germany is still unconquered. 1t
no doubt true that food is scarce
in Germany, and woolens and
cottOns and certain metals are
exceedingly scarce, yet there are
very few who would care to as
sert that the British blockade
can force Germany into submis-
sion in the very near future. The
truth is that the war is teaching
all the nations that while many
things are deemed absolutely
necessary to ordinary, existence
they are not absolutely necessa-
ry, and can be- done without in
wartime with no serious diminu.
tion OF a nations military eff
cheney.
And it was boldly asserted
that in modern war the surpris-
ing accuracy of scientific gun-6re
and the phenomenal power OF
high explosives, would mean
such wholesale slaughter OF the
combatants that peace would
come quickly from sheer exhaus-
tion OF manhood. But despite
all the new horrors Of war it
seems probable that the wearing
down process is still a matter OF
years with any determined ma
tion.
Again it was widely, very wide.
ly. believed that in case of war
the masses would soon insist up.
on peace, and in the case of Ger.
many it was confidentially ex.
pected that the tremendous 50.
cialistic vote would be 30 increas-
ed by the privations and losses
incident to q great war as to in
sure the speedy overturn OF au-
.tocratic government and the in
stitution OF democracy, with q
consequent peace. Bateven here
all prophecies have failed, and
apparently the Socialism Of Ger
many is helplessly bound to the
Kaiser's chariot wheels. So far
as all former calculations are
concerned we can only say that
they have shown us how easy it
is for the best informed men to
make most serious miscalcula.
tions. The incalcuable factors
spoil the solution OF theproblem.
Aud yet, when we have said
these things, we have not said
all. 1t is true, as we have asser-
ted again and again, that Ger

PHILADELPHIA MINE

The shaft house and machinery on

of Freeman guleh that was Destroyed
by fire two weeks ago, is to be re-
built. The first 80 feet OF the shaft
that was burned out has been re-

is noted for it's large quantities OF
silver-lead ores.

The Hot Time lateral, extending
from the Argo tunnel to the Old
Town mine in Russell Gulth, is be-

ting leasers to work in the Old
Town. A cave in the shaft of the
mine between the 900 and 1O00-foot
levels will also have to be repaired.
There is great amount Of ore be-
low the 1000foot point that will pay
big to mine under the present high
prices of copper. The ore will be
hoisted to the surface and treated
on this side, affording heavy ton
mage for the tram and insuring its

RED CROSS PINS
NOW oBTAINABLE

After great deal of delay, owing
to the rush OF work at the Denver
headquarters, the Gilpin County
branch has received consignment
OF Red Cross pins and studs. Those
who are entitled to them may pro-
cure them at the Red Cross room on
Main street. There seems to be a
little misundersta nding about these
badges. Only persons who are MEM
bers of the American National Red
Cross Association and have member
ship certificates. may wear them and
the officers are not allowed to sell
them to any one else. Persons who
contributed to the Red Cross war
fund are not such members unless SO
stipulated on their receipts. The
charge is twenty-five cents each.
The local branch will hereafter be
open every Wednesday and Friday af
ternoon. Two sewing machines have
been installed and any lady, whether
a member or not, who desires to as
sist this worthy work is asked to
come and help with the sewing. Do
not think that there is only a bare
possibility Of these things being need
ed. They are badly needed, right
now, and Gilpin county wants to do
it's share by sending off box which
requires 2Ss garments and we have
only 241 completed. Do your share
now. either by sewing in the rooms
or by taking work home.
The branch wishes to thank all
those who SO kindly contributed mag
azines for the soldiers. One large
box has already been sent and anoth-
er will follow just as soon as we can
get boxes to pack them in. This will
be enough at this time, SO please do

Save the Waste.
In New York alone, II is said they
received in one month $10S.OOO from
the selling of garbage. The annual
waste in the United States is said
to be 500, 100000 or 81 for each per-
son for each year, or Q cents day.
We must do our bit and bring these
figures down.
You say, well, l don't waste two
cents a day in my house." Maybe
not every day, but did you ever burn
cookies? Did you ever put any thing
on the pantry shelf, forget it, and 1t
spoiled? If 80, in one day you have
wasted many times two cents.
Are we saving our coal and wood
SO that the government may have
more? II not, let us try burning box

fires. Many people do not like to
burn paper cn account of so many
ashes. IL we take paper and soak in
water, wiring out. and let It dry thor
oughly, we can burn 1t wi h few ash
es, and it gives heat enough for cook
ing small meals. 1t has been found
that one weeks papers. fixed In this
way, will make enough paper ccal to
cook 4 meals.
We might try being more careful
of our clothes. Maybe wear our last
summers hat again or making over
our last years dress. Surely real
friends would not laugh at us.
Are we really careful about the
kinds of food we cook? Couldn't we
use cereals, which cost Z times less
than meats and vet give us as much
strength? Rice and macaroni are
good substitutes for potatoes and are
not nearly so expensive.
