A Fighting Briton

To shame those of his fellow
countrymen who, though of British
fighting age, are "hiding out in the
hills" Thomas Hobbs, Al years old,
British-bOrn resident OF Monte
yuma, Colorado, enlisted with the
Canadian expeditionary forces at the
British Canadian recruiting mission
here, says Denver paper. Hobbs
and five other recruits left for Win
nipeg, Canada.
One Of Hobbs brothers was killed
at the first battle Of Ypres, In 1914.
and another fell during a trench-raid
in the following year. A third brother
Is now on the firing line.
1.-THE United States ought to pass a
law kicking out all British subjects
Of fighting age who are trying to
dodge their duty" said Hobbs before
he boarded the train. "Of my own
knowledge, there are dozens of Britons
between IS and 45 years-our fighting
age limits-who are hiding out In the
hills Of Colorado instead Of answer
ing their country's call to arms.
Although I am, Of course, ready
to do my share of the fighting, per-
haps my chief purpose in enlisting is
to shame these young slackers into a
sense Of duty"
Hobbs is veteran Of the Boer war
He was born In Gloucester, England,
and came to Colorado seven years
ago.

Congressman Taylor told the con

will fight the Germans from the drop

up all pickering, such as Roosevelt
is bringing on, and all get behind the
president and think and talk nothing
but fight till the war Is won. The
German people are behind the kaiser
