BRITISH OFFICER
SPEAKS HERE
TOLARGE CROWD

A large crowd filled the Al G.
Story tent last Friday evening to hear
Capt. D. D. Haskard of the British
army relate his many thrilling en-
periences in the European war zone.
Capt Haskard was commissioned in
the British army in 1908 and has ser
we'd his country for fifteen years con-
tinuously Most of this time has been
spent in Malta, Levant, India and At
rica. He told how in 1914 the Brit
ish army had been reduced to Is per
cent in it's campaign in East Africa
in subduing the German colonies.
How that the British sustained 300
per cent loss of it's horses in this
campaign.
Captain Haskard not only brought
to us his personal experiences but his
body presented the scars of battle, he
having been twice seyerly wounded,
the second time losin g1his left eye.
However, he stated that he was anx-
ious to get back into action that he
might serve his country best. He has
been loaned to the U. S. Government
for the War Savings Stamp campaign.
The Captain has message that
was most instructive and beneficial
He emphasized the fact that it was
necessary for us to save and use our
best efforts if we are to insure a
speedy victory and eliminate a long
hof ho 70
in our best licks against the Ger
mans; that the people at home have
great duty to perform in feeding,
clothing and supplying our soldiers
with the munitions of war. He told
of how the British people were doing
with scanty allowance of foods in
order to win the war. Only about
one-third of the foodstuffs are con-
sumed today as compared with the
amount prior to the war
He stated that up until this time
the warning nations had lost in dead
and wounded 100000 men. He
paid a glowing tribute to the Ameri-
can soldiers and illustrated how
Americas entrance into the war had
put "pep" into the ranks of the al
lies armies. His talk was greatly ap-
preciated by all present.
Captain Haskard was brought to
Julesburg by Senator o. l.. Mitten Of
Wray, Colo, who. assisted by Roy
T. Johnson of this city, ably intro
duced the Captain to the large audi
ence here last Friday evening. Capt.
Haskard left here Saturday morning
for Denver, and from there entraind
for New York, where he will sail
soon for the war zone and again enter
active military service.
