A Lull in the Battle

Paris, Aug. 5.-There was a lull
in the battle on the Soissons-Rheims
front and breathing spell on both
sides after the strenuous drive of
the Allies and the run that the Ger
mans made which carried them in
places we'll beyond the Vesle river
a distance of ten miles almost com
pletly wiping out the salient which
they took from the allies in their
first offensive.
1t was the intention of the Ger
mans to make stand at the Vesle
river but they were moved so fast
that they could not stop in some
places
Across the Vesle in number of
places they are today making a
sitter stand and are fighting with
artillery and rear guard tactics.

Strange, Isn't It?

News travels in mysterious way,
its mission to perform. This fact
was demonstrated in an unmis-
taxable way by an incident which
occurred last week. The week pre-.
'vious the Chieftain printed story
relative to the county inventory, the
information for the story having
been secured by the Chieftain edi-
tor from an abstract issued by the
auditor of PrOwers county. The
abstract was prepared, printed and
mailed from Lamar. Last week the
Pueblo Chieftain reprinted a por-
tion of the Holly Chieftain story
without credit and the Lamar News
fell for it. Last weeks News pre-.
sented to its readers a reprint which

The proposed rerouting of the
Santa Fe Trail via Scott City, Eads
and Ordwsy suggests many things
which enter into Q thorough dis
cuasion Of the subject. First OF all.
whatever the action Of the National
Old Trail Association. the splendid
rOadbed which marks the present
routing of the trail cannot be re-
moved and with Q reasonable CO.
operation on the part OF the c0un-
ties traversed the road can be made
equal If not superior to any which
may be projected or proposed either
north or south. No action Of the
Old Trail Association can divert
the stream of travel on the part of
those who have previously come
this way, and who not only favor
the historic highway but are ready
and willing to direct Others in the
way in which they themselves have
come. No action on the part OF
the Old Trails Assoc ;atiOn can alter
the garage associations of the val
ley in their campaign of cOOpera-
tiOn wherein by means of road
maps and other organized means
travel is directed valley-way to
and from the mountains to the west
of us and last, but not least. no
action of the Old Trails Association
can diminish in the least the fad
cinatiOn which the historic route
with its romantic setting holds for
the interstate or transcontinental
tourist who may be passing this
way. Moreover, the overland tour
ist chooses his route with the view
of observation entour just as much
as he does to arrive conveniently as
The Holly chieftain., 1918-02-15

his journeys end and inasmuch as
the valley route is the only route
which traverses populated and
developed section it is reasonable
to suppose that only a small per-
centage of those who are entirely
foreign to the roads of this section
and who may be SO unfortunate as
to POSSESS only the guide book OF
the association will be persuaded to
take a newly established road. The
absence of adequate hotel facilities
along much of the proposed new
route should also be taken into
consideration. The official coopera-
tion and support of the Old Trails
Association in the maintenance OF
the Santa Fe Trail is to be desired
and preserved. If possible, but we
do not regard, it as imperative to
the preservation of the old trail
as national highway or to a con-
tinuance of its popularity among
Interstate and transcontinental
tourists.
