300 ENLIST HERE
AS SHIPBUILDERS

Voluntary enlistment of Colorado
men for industrial war service is
keeping up this states high record
for patriotism. The latest indication
of this is the quick response to the
call sent out by the government for
shipyard volunteers. Colorado is ex-
pected to furnish $500 men for this
service and during the first week Of
reserve recruiting in Denver 400 have
registered with W. n. w. Blayney,
United States director of labor for
Colorado.
Headquarters for the registration of
shipbuilders are at 1929 Arapahoe
street, and also at the Office Of the
Colorado Federation of Labor, Seven
teenth and Lawrence streets. A third
office was later opened in room 22S
at the state capitol.
Telegram From Baker.
Secretary of War Baker sent the
following telegram to Director Blay-
ney;

place and maintain in France will de-
pend upon the number of ships avail

THE CRIMINAL AGES OF MAN.

If man is going to commit a crime
the chances are that he will do it at
the age of twenty-nine. 1t is curious
fact that statistics have shown that
man is more dangerous at this period
of his life than at any other. The
general suppostion is that men have
attained the highest development of
their mental and physical powers at
twenty-nine. Next to the age of TWEEN
ty-nine the greatest number of crimi-
malls have been twenty-one, twenty
seven and forty-fve years old.

Lawson Speaks for Labor.
John R. Lawson, president of the
Colorado State Federation of Labor,
delivered a splendid address, in which
he enumerated many of the important
things that organized labor is doing
to help win the war. He told how
more than three millions of organized
men and women of America, with
their unions, had placed their services
at the command of the government,
thereby at once supplying the ma

ALL FAcE ONE WAY

In spite OF the sadness and horror
kindled by the war, there IS mys-
ferrous peace and happiness In all our
hearts. We wonder why we are not
altogether discouraged and broken
spirited over that ghtfulness" OF
which our daily papers are 30 full. and
why at times, we feel a certain sense
Of Hghtness and exultation. 1t is be-
cause we are conscious Of harmonious
action as nation. 1t is because we
are doing something In unison as
great and determined people. 1t IL
with divine emotions. 1t Is impossible
TO exaggerate or TO describe this joy
CT united thought and feeling and ac-
ton. Men thrill with it when singing
together an immortal hymn: when
marching together in an endless pro-
cession; when swayed by the elo-
quence Of an inspired leader, as the
caves of trees or stalks Of grain are
sWayed by passing wind. Let US
keep In step. We must minimize all
differences. 1t Is our duty to allay
discordant notes and to stay In tune
1t is this sense of united effort which
exults us-this mythical systole of
hundred million hearts. In unity
there Is strength"

The heart Of America Is touched by
the simple -eloquence of the unnamed
French officer who paid the tribute
of his country to our heroic sons who
were first to die for freedom on the
soil Of France. I'VE ask that the NOR
tai remains Of these young men be left
with us forever" This was his re-
quest. And so the life Of America is
woven into the fabric of it's great sis
ter republic, even as the life of France
was woven into ours The tie is lndis-
soluble, says Rocky Mountain News
The graves of Enright, Gresham and
Hay will forever speak the spiritual
kinship Of the two peoples. The pass
ing world will pause in gratitude and
admiration for this strange, splendid
hour when nations, parted by 5000
miles of ocean, mingled their bravest
blood for the salvation Of the race.

THE DEVIL
OIJTCLASSED
resigns HIS JOB

The devil sat by lake of fire
On pile of sulphur kegs.
His head was bowed upon his breast,
His tail between his legs.
A look of shame was on his face,
The sparks dropped from his eyes.
He had sent up his resignation
To the throne up in the skies.
I'm down and out" the devil said;
He said it with a sob;
There are others that out-class me,
And | want to quit my job.
! He'll isn't in it with the land
That lies along the Rhine;
I'm a has-been and a piker,
And therefore I resign.
One ammunition maker,
With his bloody shot and shell
Knows more about damnation
Than all the imps in HI.
Give my job to Kaiser William,
The author of this war;
He understands it better
A million times by far.

The spot I love so well,

At time when many people are

well that publicity be granted to the

making 1t easily digestible is thorough
cooking. He advises also that it
needs chewing SO that the alkaline Sc

HOW MEN CHEAT THEMSELVES

-
N Is Dad enough to cheat some one
else. bat 1t Is worse TO cheat yourself.
When yon cheat some one else you
can salve y-ur conscience with the
assurance that 1t was the other fell
lows business to look out for him
self. but when you cheat yourself you
are the other fellow. and you can't
shift the blame. Ever since the days
OF tie Psalnfst men have been trying
to walk along the edges of the way
OF the ungodly and to convince them
selves and the world that they were
entirely upright. They have pointed
to church members a little farther
from the edge Of the path than them
selves and have said, s'See how much
better | am than they" They have
said to themselves. az know that this
Is wrong, but 1t makes money, and a
man must look out for his family, says
the Christian Herald. When I have
made my pile l will be a Christian"
They have said, II can drink and l can
let 1t alone" and they have followed
the lure Of the glass until they mum
bled out this vainglorious assertion be
tween the hiecoughs of a maudlin
drunk. They have told themselves
that they were too smart to get
caught, but a smarter man sooner or
later has come along and laid the evil
dence before grand jury. They have
tried to find In the partial morality Of
some lodge or in the beautiful phrases
Of some philosophy satisfaction for the
souls hunger for God. And In all
these things they have cheated them
selves, for the end of all these ways
"are the ways Of death"

1t is generally known that our allies
have asked Holland to stop the ship
ment of sand and gravel by the Ger
mans into Belgium and northern
France to be used for sandbags and
trench defenses and for other military
purposes, says Youths Companion.
But it is not so widely known that 1t
has been the practice for some time
of the Germans to load up the trains
for the return trip to Germany with
loan and other topsoil. SO that when
the eXpatriated farmers return to
their devastated homes they will find
nothing except the barren subsoil. The
disciples of kultur must consider the
stealing of the topsoil as a particular
ly clever way to combine destruction
and profit.

Now the army complains that the
habit which some American women
have Of adopting soldiers previously

handsome, modest and honorable
fighter, Uncle Sam.
