ANOTHER COLORADO CON-
GRESHAM TELLS OF -
GERMAN ATROCITIES

Sterling, Colo, Dec. 24-Fresh from
the trenches of France came the story
to Colorado of the actual scenes as
Witnessed by Congressman Charles b.
Undertake, when he arrived in Ster-
ling, his home city. He related brief
Iys Between the handshakes for his
many friends, the narrow escape from
death or injury he and his fellow con-
gressmen had on their recent visit to
the first line trenches in France.
The congressman said that the
scenes Of conflict were beyond descrip-
tion. He declared that the tortures
and barbarity were never before
equaled in modern warfare, and he
stated that some Of the practices Of
the Germans, as he saw the evidence,
approached the days Of cannibalism
and sayagery.
He said that the people of the Unit
ed States have a tremendous burden
to bear, and that every individual
must come to the assistance of his
coumtry in every way upon which he
is called to perform a service if the
victory is to be won for civilization.

THE ONLY PEACE ON EARTH

President Wilson,
We are the spokesmen of the Ameri-

know if their purpose is ours. They
desire peace by the overcoming Of evil,
by the defeat once for all of the sinis-
ter forces that interrupt peace and
render it impossible, and they wish to
know how closely our thoughts run
with theirs and what action we pro-
pose. They are impatient with those
who desire peace by any sort Of COM
promise-deeply and Indignantly i'm
patient-but they will be equally i'm
patient with US if we do not make it
plain to them what our objects are
and what we are planning for in seek

WANTED FOR
L. S. NAVY AT ONCE
Recruiting Officers Will Be in Gun
nison in Few Days Do You Want
to Enlist!

Denver, Dec. 81, 1917.
Editor News-Champion,
! Gunnison, Colo.
! Dear Sir:
The Navy Recruiting Office of Den
Yer has recently received orders from
I the Navy Department to make a
/ special campaign for enlistment in the
Navy Of men between the ages of
eighteen and thirty as seamen. This
need for seamen at the present time
is most pressing and therefore. We
are sending a travelling party to Gun
nI>on, Colo, to enlist as many men as
possible in this rating. II is not nee
essary for applicants for seamen in
the Navy to have had previous ex-
perience in this work. Any man who
j. strong and able bodied, can be ac-
cepted for enlistment in this rating.
These men will be employed on
board battle ships, torpedo boats and
transports, and it is especially import
ant that we enlist as many men as
possible before February 22nd, as the
Navy Department has assigned a
quota of five hundred and sixty sea-
mrn to be enlisted from Colorado by
that date. In addition to the men be-
tween the ages of eighteen and thirty,
mon between the ages of twenty-one
and thirty-five are accepted as fire
mon and are sent to training schools
TO- a period of six months prior TO
bong sent aboard vessels of the Navy
The Navy Recruiting party will ar
rivc in your town of Gunnison on jan
uary 18th and remain until January
l6th-three days. You are requested
TO give this announcement as mnch
publicity as possible in the columns
OF your paper. This should aid us
materially in securing the desired
number of recruits and we will great
ly appreciate any efforts which you
MAJ on our behalf.
All patriotic American citizens are
requested 10 assist US in. this work
b. furnishing Us with the names of
mon who would be eligible for en-
Gstment in the Navy upon our ar
rivaI in your town.
All cnlistments in the Navy are
volunteer enlistments and men may
BE- accepted for Navy enlistment pro-
vidcd they have not been ordered to
appear before their local army ex-
emption board, although they may be
Registered. If man has been order
ed before his local exemption board,
he cannot be enlisted in the Navy.
Perhaps there are number of men
in your vicinity who will be drafted
In the near future, who would prefer
to enlist in the Navy. II this is the
case, they will have an opportunity
to do SO from January 18th to Janu-
AIRY 18th.
Thanking you for past favors, l re-
main, Very truly yours,
w. p. BROWN,
Lieut.. (9-G.) U. S. Navy.

man of US want to and will leave q
good account for himself.
Camp Kearney is fine place for q
