RUSS HATE GERMANY
100000 u. S. Troops in

RUSS HATE GERMANY

Z. Straight to the United States Senate.
Madame Botehkarova. leader of the
Battalion of Death, carried her plea
for Russia yesterday She spoke to a
number Of Senator's in the marble
room. and said to them:
Russia can be saved. Sending 10000
allied troops into Siberia would rouse
the peasants to fight for freedom.
More than $4,000 Russian troops
would spring to arms"
The fearless woman leader was
wearing her khaki uniform, her sword
dangling at her side. Her decorations
blazed upon her breast. Her straight,
Slack hair, bobbed boy fashion. ac-
centuated sharply the broad outlines
Of her Slavonic face.
-"AI the real heart Of Russia hates
Germany" she said. The peasants
want Germany beaten and thrown out
of Rpssia. Russia can not do 1t alone.
Won't you help? VIII you let me go
back to Russia without a word to the
people that America is coming?
Russia Bleeding to Death.

twenty years Germany will have
Germanized Russia IL German infiu-
ance is not now rooted out Ger
many will make war on you. and she
would dominate the world, IL she
was allowed to dominate Russia.
This is the psychological moment
You must lend your aid to Russia
at once. Don't leave the CZecho-
Slavs in Siberia to their fate. If
Russia perishes, so will you. II you
do not assist us now, you are not
our friend. / beg of you, send men
and guns.
For economic assistance will be
useless without military aid. / have
been here two months now and 1
have made this same appeal to every
department of your government. I
have received no response. Your
people seem to treat this matter
eoldIy. I want your help. II 1 can
not get it. l will go back and
try to see what we can do alone.
"Send the 100000 men. 1 will
throw my fortunes with them. Be-
cause Russia knows that back of
me there is no political controversy.
The peasants will not fear. for they
know me-"

II Madame Botchkarova would op-
pose or welcome japanese assistance
in an expedition.
Send Japanese.
Yes" she said. IF there were not
too many of them. l should think
one-third would be a fair japanese
proportion in an expedition
The woman commander said she
Was quite sure she could raise J00. 900
Russiar troops in and around Slad-
fVostok. IL an American force of
1GC.oo0 were landed there as a nucleus.
Then more and more and more
would gather" she predicted. For

She is PROSTATE only because Of the
treachery Of the men higher up"
She assailed Kerensky for weak
ness.

DECLARED. why did not he arrest the
traitors, Lenine and Trotslxy? Why

In spite of the unprecedented tax

Cross and high cost Of living, insur-
ance companies of Colorado report
record breaking business. The general
insurance business in Colorado, ac-
cording to Denver agents, will be ap-
proximately double the amount writ

Of Colorado are paying out about &c.
100000 additional this year for insur-

Right to Junk Railroad Denied.

The Denver, Boulder & Western
railroad was forbidden to discontinue
its service and tear up it's tracks by
the State Public Utilities Commission
The commission, in its finding, held
that junking of the railroad, operat-
ing between Boulder and Eldora and
Ward, would deprive the people of
that section of the state of it's only
railroad and cripple industries de-
pending upon the railroad for their
operation.

Railroad Changes May Affect Denver

Current speculation among railway
men has it that among the changes
which may be expected in Denver
through the liberalization of railways
are the establishment of a centrally
located union ticket office, the con-
solidation Of freight depots, the dis
carding, perhaps, of the present Mof-
fat depot as a separate terminal, the
closer concentration of administrative
departments, the elimination of super
fluous official personnel and the gen.
eral curtailment of salaries, rentals
and other overhead expenses.

A General Cutting Down Of Schedules

Denver.-As a measure toward the
conservation of fuel. w. ]. Galligan,
Federal Fuel Administrator for Colo
RADIO, sent out an appeal to the people
of the state pointing out that con-
siderable saving can be accomplished
by owners of office buildings by plac-
ing them on a war basis, curtailing
the non-essential uses of power and
fuel and practicing the strictest econ
omy consistent with the necessary
service to tenants.
Mr.. Galligan suggests the stopping
of elevator service at an earlier hour,
and fixes the time at 9:30 p. m. in
cases where 1t will not interfere with
the work of tenants; the shutting off
at night of interior lights; closing of
windows and shutting off heat and
sustaining a heat of only a tempera-
ture of 6S degrees during occupancy OF
buildings.
The appeal closes with the state
ment that: "In many cases great
deal more efficiency can attained
in the boiler room. Obviously this
important department should be un-
der the supervision of an (ez.pert. An
inexperienced, careless fireman can
waste many times his salary. Every
possible waste in heat or power
should be stopped. Fpelsaving de-
vices will in many instances pay for
themselves several hes over"

Dealing With the Occult.

An astonishing number of books on
occult subjects are being published in
these days, especially on lines relating
to the future life, the theme taking
on q new interest because Of the war
and its losses. One writer, Prof. W. j.
Crawford Of Belfast, is dealing with
so-called spirit manifestations 10 a
new way. For n thing. he has tried
seating the medium on a weighing ma
c me while the manifestations are
G ng on and watching the varying

tat where a chair or table was levi
tated an increase In her weight almost
corresponding to the weight Of the
piece Of furniture was noted. When
there were rappings her weight les
sened, the amount lost varying with
the intensity OF the sounds. What
these phenomena indicate to his mind
or what he expects to prove by them
does not appear.

Daniels Declares Age Limit
Will Be Raised to so Years
/ If Necessary.

WASHINGTON, July 1e:-Any
number of American troops neces-
sary to win the war-up to 100000
men-can and will be transported to
France despite the efforts of the Ger
man submarines to prevent It.
America has the men, and II neces-
sary will raise the age limit to sixty
years to beat the huns.
It also has the tonnage sufficient to
win the S,0o0-mile-d distant war.
These are the statements of Secre-
tary Of the Navy Daniels in an inter
view.
1t was a year ago the Fourth of
can transports landed safely their
passengers in France. The record
OF that year is summed up by Secre-
tary Daniels in a few brief sentences.
Despite the constant threat of
enemy submarines" said the secre-
tary, coming almost to our very
shores. not one American transport
bound for France has been sunk. and
not one soldier on our transports on
the way to France has been lost.
Only two vessels carrying American
troops abroad, the Tuscania and the
Moldavia. have been torpedoed. The
President Lincoln and the Antilles
were sunk while returning; the Fin
land was ~torpedoed, but reapSsd
port.
During the year we have trans
ported to Europe over a million men.
We have the task OF supplying these
men with food. clothing and ammu-
milton.
'"The total tonnage of American
vessels lost since the United States
entered the war is 2S4,408. To this
may be added the tonnage destroyed
before we entered the war, 67,815.
making a total of s52.22s tons.
las against this loss the gross tom
mage of merchant ships built in the
United States since the ommence-
ment Of the European war Is 2.722.-
66s tons.
This does not look as II the Ger
man submarines could prevent effec-
tive participation by the United
States in the war.
I'VE have the men, and II neces-
sary will raise the age limit to sixty
years. 1t Is not necessary yet; we
have many young men registered I'M
der the present draft g limits and
can draft and train many thousand
more troops; but IL necessary 1 say
we will raise the limit and send as
many more men as are needed to win
the war"

SOLDIERS LIKE
BOMB SERVICE
Combines Fighting With Skill
and Sport That Appeals to
Average American.

WASHINGTON, July 1s:-The
love of the average American for
competitive sport has caused bomb
ing to become one of the favorite
parts of the service.
The bomb hurler must combine
strength with accuracy inc the long
periods of practice laid out for the
expert result in competition in train
ing camps which is not second even
to athletic meets in interest.
Bomb hurting, in fact, has been
adopted by the American Athletic
union as q major sport for field
meets, and vas one of the regularly
scheduled events in all the great COL
lege field meets last spring.
The form used in bombing is en-
tirely different from that used In
throwing a baseball or heaving a
shot. The long overland swing ID
made necessary, as much bomb
throwing is lone from trenches which
reach above the head.
The above pictures taken by the
Commission on Training Camp Activ-

been thrown.
