Washington, June 20.

liberate them from the oppressive
rule of kaiserism and militarism. Like
drowning person which sometimes
has to be rendered unconscious be-
fore the expert swimmer can save
him so also must the armed forces of
Germany-the German people-be
dealt a severe blow before they may
be conquered. only to be freed to en-
joy life and liberty in a newborn
Germany. In Germany where the iron
hand of monarch has ceased to rule
and where the people will rule as
they do in such country as the one
over which the Stars and Stripes
wave.
We ask some father or mother oc-
casionally where their son is now
located. The answers are many and
varied. One will remark that the
last time they heard from him" his
contingent was all packed ready ito
go" The soldier boy did not say
where but when they are ready to
go it means that they are stepping
out into that road again which leads
to Berlin and are to make another
long run on the 81 eat world highway.
1t may be that they will be overtaken
by other of these war-tourists or that
they will pause again on the western
front until hundreds and thousands
more of them will take that Berlin
highway. which starts in the United
States of America. When they have
gathered at the west front in France
this great war-tourist party will then
step out into the road for the last
lap, the lap which will take them into
Berlin. their final destination. After
they have visited there for awhile and
made clear the object of their visit
they will start on the trip home and
then all roads will lead to the land
of the Stars and Stripes! But when
will this be? VIII 1t be next year.
the year after, or will It be five or
ten years from now. That question
may be answered by each one of us
based on the amount of War Savings
Stamps we buy, the number of Liberty
Bonds we buy ard the extent of our
support to the Red Cross.
If we won't pay to be defended
We must pay to be conquered.
We cannot afford to be conquered
by such heartless brutes as the kaiser
of Germany and his Won hindenburgs
and his crown prince, and others OF
that stripe. but unless we pay to be
defended we will pay to be ruled by
such an iron hand.
Letters come from the boys who
have left Crowley county. They come
from cantonments in this country,
and they come from across the wa
ters. These boys are away on mis-
sion of defense. They have gone to
make the world safe place in which
to live. Let us make 1t so these boys
will soon be returned to us. for every
day we delay that duty puts more of
them in an unmarked grave in for
eign soil never to return.

WHO FOR GOVERNOR
THAT Is THE QUESTION.

C. A. Ballreich, of Pueblo, is the
man the Republicans of this state
should nominate for governor. Mr..
Ballreich is spoken of a great deal
in every part of the state. We un-
derstand that II nominated he will
make the race. and good race 1t
would be. He can beat Gunter.
For time Mr.. Ballreich was con-
sidering the question Of becoming a
candidate for the United States SEN
ate, but because of the prevailing
sentiment that the Republican party
should have no primary contests he
has given up that idea.

AND THERE.

II we won't pay to be defended.
we must pay to be conquered.
This week another lot of our boys
have left for service in Uncle Sans

out of Crowley county lead to Berlin.
it is safe to expect that these lads
who, this week. took to the road
and were off, are in reality on their
way to Berlin. There may be several
stops en- route. There will be one
stop. first at Camp Cody in New Mexi-
CO, later one at the sea shore prior
to embarking. and another on the
western front in France. The stops
are all necessary to the safe and sure
arrival at the objective point. Berlin!
The stop to be made on the western
front will probably be long one. but
it is hoped not. II will be longer
because of the fact that the German
people in Germany do not realize that
