readjnstment of his line. especially
abandonment of the plateau west Of
the Avre from Montdidier to the con

as the plateau gave observation of the

There is gun fire in certain areas,
particularly in the Givenehy regian,
north of the La Bassee canal, where
German artillery is active, probably
a further retirement. Thousands of gas
shells were thrown into st. Venant yes

shelled
British patrols continue extremely
busy. Likewise, British artillery is har-

Colorado Railroad
To Be Sold For Junk

Washington, Aug. 6.--Barring further
action by the United States districiy
court at Denver, the Colorado ahd
Midland railroad will be iunked, Off
cials of the road declared today, after
refusing offers of the railroad admin
istration to take over the line.
Administration officials have tele-
Igraphed Governor Gunter and the state
utilities commission of Colorado in q
final effort to save the road, on q
previous occasion q similar request
from the railroad administration was
refused by the Colorado officials.
The railroad administration offered
an annual rental of 100000 to save
the road to the people in Northwestern
Colorado where for 50 miles il is the
only means of transportation. The
roads demand was for 100000 annual
rental. According to data gathered by
railroad administration officials, net
returns from the line have averaged
from $4,000 to $4,000 annually.
Officials of the railroad administrar
tion were told by A. Il. Carlton, presi-
dent of the road, that about $6,000,00e
could be derived from its sale by junk

portant results of the present fighting
aside from regaining the initiative of
recovering French territory and wip.
ing out the menace to Paris is the
effective depletion of German man
power.
Since July Is Ludendorff has hurled
no less-and probably more-than
100000 men against the allies, of which
$4,000 will never fire another shot.
More than 10000 of these are prisoners.
Tens of thousands are buried in the
Rheims-Soissons pocket or are lying
IN Gdrman hospitals permanently
manned.
In some places the former enemy
bulge is still cobbled with boche dead,
the French and Americans having no
time to bury them. Reports received
from Switzerland state that long trains
behind the German lines are bearing off
wounded to the already congested
hospitals.
In man power alone the allies have
dealt the nenmy staggering blow from
which he cannot recover. German
power passed its zenith months ago,
while daily, almost hourly, the allied
strength is growing, as every American
troop ship touches these shores.

PRIVATE OROURkE
TELLS LIFE STORY

Private Michael 'Rourke, in tell
ing the story of his life last evening
at the armory proved the old saying
that truth is a lot stranger than fic.
tion. About four years ago he was
a miner in Canada. Today he is a.
mong millions of soldiers perhaps one
of the most envied of men in his pos
ession of the Victoria Cross, the Dis
tinguished Conduct Medal and the
Military Medal. And while about four
years ago he was singing the pick in
a Canadian mine, today he is address
ing large audiences throughout the
United States and Canada and every
where received with open arms.
Private O'Rourke is the fighting
Irishman and there is no mistake about
lit after he has told some of his exper-
fences with the Huns. In expressing
Ihis opinion of fighting, he doesn t see
much good in the ordinary rifle and
bayonet. What he feels is necessary
lis the Lewis machine gun. "You
ought to have machine guns" declared
Mike, "as we do not fight with bayo-
NETS. The main thing is the machine
gum And 0'Rourke should know as
he was 32 months in the trenches and
at Ypres during the worst Of the fight
ing. "Y0u must have the machine
gun down pat. You must practice
with it."
"We Canadians did not know any
thing about dugouts as we were just
living in trench But we went over
and saw what the Germans had in nice
ly furnished dugouts so we just kept
them.
"It doesn't require a hell of lot
Of brains to be a stretcher bearer, blH
you must be steady" O'Rourke
should know as he was awarded one of
his military decorations for his bravery
as a stretcher bearer when he would
much rather have been fighting.
At one time Mike had captured 16
Germans but one Of them tried to
bomb him after they had surrendered
Mike just waited until they filed into
a trench and then tossed in three bombs
to get even with the treacherous Huns.
He ddn I take the trouble to count
the dead as he was sure he got them
all.
O'Rourke dcesn t believe the stories
of starving German soldiers, In fact
the best meals he had was when the
Canadians captured some German
trenches and ate what had been pre-
pared for the Germans, but as the
Huns in those special trenches had
been all killed, Mike and his comrades
enjoyed the good things in the way Of
eating.
