viewpoint on this whole movement.
Our Prsident thought he saw points
where h. might insert wedge that
could bedriven through to peace. He
assumed that there was sufficient
rift between the Kaiser and his peo-
ule TO receive the point OF one wedge,
and tha another might be introduced
between Germany and Austria. He
nlaced ifs wedges in position, he ham
mered .hem with much manly effort
,einfored with ideals most promising
for tn. future veal of humanity. But
The ro'k would not split.

Didhe assume that the structure OF
government in Germany was weaker

Kaiser Not Afraid

himself and his people, nor does nc

him and seek separate peace. inc

MS mere economic bond attaching
the Germans to Alsace-Lorrain is. Of
course. the less important one; but i,
must not on that account be ignored.
The German pride was Just mentioned; :;
1T may be added that no people are
mere proud OF their economic achieve
ments than the Germans They re-
Spond with enthus iasm TO the thought
OF defending the work accomplished by
themselves and their fathers. This
sentiment of attachment to the worl,
OF their hands is harshly touched by
any suggestion of surrenGeriug those
provinces.
Racial kinshp is another plea ad-
vanced by the Germans. though they
have never been able to get a salts
factory recognition of such relation
snip from the stock inhabitants OF
the provinces. But racial attachment
does not really count for much in this
case; IN fact. it has an insincere ring
Whenever German statesman touches
tnat chord. What really counts is the
tact that Germany recovered by force
OF arms territory which, in great part
had once been German, and that Ger
mans are now exceedingly proud of
their conquest. Their claim that Alsace-
Lorraine is, from military and political
aspects, vital to the interests of Ger
many is of course preposterous.
However that may be, the fact re.
mains that the Germans aro wellnigh
unanimous in feeling that the national
dignity Of the Fatherland would suf-
fer an intolerablc blow if the provinces
should be wrested from hem. Let US
make no mistake in hoping that they
will be brought to another mind with
out undergoing su.fcrings far beyond
what they are now enduring. Germany
will have to be thoroughly and crush
ingly defeated before her statesmen
will write their names to a treaty fol
the retrocession Of this territory to
France.

Elnd Minds

Whatever answers be given to those
qsstions, it is evident that mlscalcu-
ssons were made. Reading these ex-
client messages, and the German re-
Pies, then the comments in the Amer
ian and also in the German press.
Wat has been most frequently in my
End was: Our thoughts and theirs
nye in an entirely different atrnos-
lsere.
Take. for example. Count Hertling's
ast speech in tne Reichstag. 1t was
ronounced arrogant by not few
american newspapers. 1t breathed
mnfdence that appeared to them TO
e unwarran.ed by Germany's general
position, and this confidence was un-
pleasant to them.
The German view was quite the con-
'rary. The Junkers even deplored the
speech as lacking the proud and de-
isnt tone that SO delights their hearts,
he lordly gesture that BELTS the fut-
1re master Of the world. To them,
IN short. the speech was not arrogant
enough
But there was another German view
the view which, as I would judge
from the German press, was adopted
BY the great majority Of the people.
According 70 this, the speech was in
STRICT accord with the actualities OF
the situation; il took due account Of
the German peoples undoubted long

Lorraine In other words, it seemed

THE naval prison st Portsmouth is
no longer a scrap heap from which

Lieutenant Commander Thomas Mott
Osborne, speaking at the Ritz Carleton
yesterday to an interested group of
prison workers. at is, thanks to Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels, now a re-
pair shop, out Of which young men
arc returned to the navy to do good
work, and later to return to private
life fitted for its duties and response
blities."
1t was M. Osbornc's first appearance
on the lecture platform in New York
since he entered the naval service as
custodian of the Portsmouth prison
last August. When he took the prison
il had about 500 inmates, he said. Now
there are nearly 5000, and new
prison without barred windows or en-
closing walls is being built by the pris-
oners to care for the increase. This,
Mr.. Osborne explained, is due to the i'm
mense increase in the enlisted per-
sonnel Of the navy since the outbreak
Of the war.

gust" said Mr. Osborne, "thcre we're
900 inmates. Now there are 1911 at
the last count Since October we have
restored to the service 293 young men
who are making good. They have been
returned to the service with splcn-
did spirit Of loyalty. There were forty
guards under the old system to care
for 40 men. Now there are four to

Common Sense the keynote
"There is no magic in this thing.
Any one can do it if he will play
square with the men, and, instead of
going cn the theory that all of those
committed to his charge are eternally
damned and entitled to nothing but re
preston and severity, will recognize
mat good is positive element in all
and seek to develop it. All that is
needed is a little common sense"
The need of common sense in hand
ling navy prisoners Mr.. Osborne illus
trated with the story of boy sen
fenced for term Of years on ths
charge of desertion.
"The boy was in San Francisco,
said he, "and, thinking the war wouC
not reach the Pacific Coast he irlmne,

than any other county On the Western
Slope received except Dolores.
Road Superintendent Wiley return
ed last Friday from . meeting with
the Colorado State Highway commits
sion which completed the preliminary
distribution Of funds for the next seq
sons big building campaign.
This $13.500 is to be used, partly in
repairing the bridges damaged by
floods a year ago, partly in upkeep Of
all state highways and few theus-
ands on the Crested Butte-Somerset
road, which it is hoped will carry it
thru the twelve mile gap yet remain
ing to be closed around Mt. Marcel
lena.
The two big federal projects which
affect Gunniscn county, yet remain
undecided as to their status for the
coming years work The original
government and state agreement
whereby each was to put up $50, 900 on
the Somerset Redstone road over Nc
Clure pass, was last fall held up by
the government because of war corr
ditions. During the interim, the gov
ern man in charge has died, and the
government surveyor and his assist
ant, who made the survey, have both
died of the Flu. However, the state
is holding back necessary funds to
match the government money as soon
as the project is approved. Mr.. Wiley
took over with him $4,000 in county
bills, paid last fall to the road crew
which went ahead with the project in
order to open the road up to Lee Creek
on the Muddy, SO that the ranchmen
there could get their stuff to market.
The county took chance on this
and the Highway Commission paid
the bills in full

struction was also halted last fall,

ernment will this season 20 ahead
with the building of this great link
the Rainbow Route. The commits
sioners of Chaffee county are pushing
it as hard as possible, but no definite
announcement can be made yet con-
cerning it. The commission, in re-
sponse to the petition of the county
commissioners Of Gunnison county and
Of citizens interested, ordered o sur
vey of the proposed cutoff via Wau-
nita and complete investigation of
all conditions surrounding the cutoff.
During these winter months the
few men remaining on the county
road force are engaged in building di-
version dams to protect the state road
just west Of town and the bridge near

west of US. Nothing more can be
done on the new state bridge north Of
