I'D MAKE HUN STOP DESTRUCTION
Allies Will Warn Berlin That Reprisal
 Win Be Made on Rhine Cities.

Washington, Oct 2.-An ultimatum to Germany regarding the ruthless de- structiOn of cities and private proper ty in northern France and Belgium is being urged on the allies and the United States, and is under cousidera- tiOn.
 Quentin and the devastation or one of The burning of Cambrai and St. the most populOus regions of Europe as the Germans retreat has aroused great indignation, and 1t was said in diplomatic circles today that Ger m my would be warned soon that il she allows the work of destruction to continue severe reprisals will follow.
 It is suggested that the cities of the Rhine should be marked for destruc- tion and the Berlin government told that for every French and Belgian city ruined without military reason a city equally important and valuable, sentiment?lly and materially, will be laid to waste
 Since reprisals by bombardment have caused the Germans to discOn- tinue to a great extent their air at- tacks on defenseless communities, it is felt here that sI similar warning might be effective in bringing home to the German people the danger of retaliation for ruthless destruction ol territory now occupied by their troops.

According to Charles Gray Shaw in

1t represents actual Russian conditions,
but because Russian writer's are by

Naval Lieutenant win. Honor.

Although officers in the military

to accept decorations or gifts from for
eign governments, the British admiral

young American officer. - To Lieut..
Frank LOftin, U. 8. NJ, on duty on an

Ger of the destroyer, which, with 9TH

ships, when general quarters was
sounded as torpedo was sighted COM
ing toward the ship. Sizing up the
situation. he rang to the engine room
for full speed ahead. Getting this, he
altered the ships course and headed
directly for the periscope of the u
boat. Quick maneuvering followed and
a depth charge dropped in the course
of the submerged enemy sent him out
of sight. Lieutenant Loftin is from
Tennessee and graduated from the
Naval academy in the class of 1907.

These Ships Laid Up.

Austrian boat from Fiume.
"These ships will require no more
watching because Of the luxuriant
growth of shell and coral. The steam.
ships must now be covered with n
layer of coral and shell from thirty
to forty inches thick. About two
years ago attempts were made to move
the Won Kleist, but no greater speed
than five knots could be got out of
her, although the ship originally had

Benefit Of Art Education,

A glimpse at the development of
trade in European countries, in which
industrial art has played such an i'm
portant role, is full Of suggestion to us.
When Germany discovered Mt the Paris
exposition in 1878 how crude and in
artistic her exhibits were, her greatest
artists, laying aside their easels and
canvases, began designing textiles, wall
paper, furniture and advertisements.
The results Of these activities we wit
messed in the German Applied Arts
exhibition held In all our large cities n
few years ago. BY means of intensive
art education In Prussia the trade
routes of the world were changed In
favor of Germany. Trade in toys was
diverted from Switzerland, in printing
materials from England, and in dress
trimmings from France. In France and
England in a similar way trade has
been developed through attention to
art education.

news Of the discovery of gold in the re-
hottest regions is carried broadcast

Joaquin Miller expected to find the
quiet of his own Sierras, he found pop.

BILLIONS WASTED EACH YEAR
That country's Water Power 10 So Lit
tie Used 10 Reflection on citi-
xens' Intelligence.

In the early days of this country the
grist mill was built where there was
water power, and in time other indus
tries also located there for the same
reason, H. H. Windsor writes in Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. Many of our
largest manufacturing cities have
grown up around these grist mills. But
many of the best water powers were
so inaccessible, and the surrounding
country SO unfit for agriculture, that
no mills and towns have ever taken
advantage Of the cheapest mill power
known.
Today, thanks to the electric motor,
transmission lines, and high voltage,
the factory may locate convenient to
transportation and labor. and have the
water power brought to 1t.
Every "a hours there goes to waste
unused water power equivalent to the
coal energy of 100000 tons, or $685.
100000 tons each year. At low aver
age of present prices this waste repre-
sents $2,0OO,O0O,OOO yearly.
Switzerland gets her coal from Ger
ySuI tlt supply 10 OIly
two-thirds of requirements, yet Swift
zerland will pay Germany over $4,000
100000 for coal. At the present mo-
ment there are undeveloped water pow
ers in Switzerland amounting to $780,
600 horse power which, with $4,000
horse power already harnessed, would
make Switzerland almost independent
of outside coal supply.
Our own unused water powers remain
undeveloped because the restrictions
our government demands do not appeal
to private enterprise, which naturally
Is reluctant to invest vast sums under
franchise which may be terminated
at any time. With the financial burdens
with which our government will
emerge from this war, it will doubtless
be years before congress would feel
justified In appropriating the money
necessary to make this development.
1t would seem wise, therefore, rather
than wait an indefinite number of
years, that a franchise of say so years
should be granted, with privilege of
taking over the properties at the end
of that time on some basis Of valuation
fair to government and owners. On
such a basis development would begin
ut once.
In the meantime the 100000 tons
value Of coal is rushing to the sea
every "a hours, an absolute waste,
without the slightest benefit to any
one.

SUBSTITUTE PRICES
HERE MEET AVERAGE

With housewives and consumers
all over the state questioning the
legitimacy of the prices of wheat
substitutes, the United States Food
Administration for Colorado has re-
Gently made the announcement that
the cost Of wheat flour here is low
er than in any state in the Union ex-
cept Oregon, and that the average
prices of the substitute grains il
practically level with the prices Of
all the other states.
Substitute grains are not raised in
Colorado to any great extent and
their cost with freight and other
charges added is bound to make the
price Of products from these grains
relatively higher than the price Of
wheat.
Considerable hope is being felt in
food administration offices through
out the state that with increased
manufacture and improved methods
the price Of substitutes will gradu-
ally be lowered until a nomal price
has been established.

wheat SAVING
STILL VITAL
TO VICTORY

Colorado has been saving wheat
saving 1t with all of her western
vigor and determination to feed
American soldiers and the starving
people Of the allies. But the need
has not been met. The time has
not come when conservation can be
thrown aside: when loyal Ameri-
cans can eat as much, a. often, and
what they want.
A report. which may be caused by
misunderstanding or may be the out
growth of vicious propaganda, has
been receiving a certain credence of
late to the effect that the need Of
further conservation is past.
Such a report is absolutely un-
founded" declared Robert ]. Grant,
executive manager of the Colorado
food administration, land anyone
who relinquishes his efforts to save
wheat in every way possible is help
ing his country's enemy"
Food Administrator Herbert Hoover,
sensing the seriousness of the stu
alton should Americans in any
great number stop saving flour, has
sent to every state the following
telegram:
Reports have been circulated that
food administration officials state
further wheat conservation not
necessary. No statement of the
character has ever been issued. The
actual position is that our supply
until harvest allows home consump-
ton of approximately one-third
normal If we are to maintain allied
supplies. The actual position is that
In farmers hands and storage we
had at the beginning of May seventy
five million bushels of wheat to
carry us for approximately three
months or with an early harvest per-
haps two weeks shorter. Our norm
al consumption for three months
would be one hundred and twenty
million bushels, not allowing allies
anything. HOOVER.
