THE SUCCESSOR TO THE MENACE.

One power, moral and not territorial stood

ormation had come to the Vatican and the Vatican has
let slide through fingers. Nomnaly neutral all the
world knows that it has been supporting the German
Alliance three and half years its papers have at

called So that the year it is absolutely neces
sary to draw the line between the Quirinal

In article in the issue containing the above
udicrous tumble of malicious Misrepresentation read
concerning "Truth-Tellng":
"To deviate from the truth is to lose the respect of
ones self and ones fellows to to point where
ones word is not believed. Unruthfuness is poison
which is it's penalty 1t separates from righteous
ness"
1t must be concluded then, that the editorial writer
must belong other church than proclaming
that "the truth will you free" for he brazen
erontery to present to the public for acceptance lie
so palpaby dishonest that the wayfaring man,
though he had read the the most casual
way, could not fail to detect it. Parading under the

vancing the of democracy and the triumph of the
Allied by offering fragrant insults to the head of
church embracing three hundred millions of Christians.

how do they sound to their comrades fighting by their

Denver is going to have the largest
permanent army recuperatlon camp
and hospital in the world. This is now
assured and work is to begin in two
or three weeks. 1t will provide en-
ployment for large force of build
ing tradesmen at a time when new
structural work in other lines is being
restricted by the war. This was one
of the matters taken up in Washing
ton last summer when special COM
mission named by Governor Gunter
went there TO present Colorado's
claims 1t was then too late to Sc
cure an army cantonment, so the re-
cuperation camp proposition was pre-
sented TO President Wilson, Secre-
tary Of War Baker and Surgeon Cen
eral Gorgas.
The government has granted every
request of Denver for the camp, be
1ieving il to be the best place in the
world for a soldier to recover a cheer
full mind and strong body. They
have agreed that the material shall be
bought in Denver. They have directed
that the equipment come from Den
yer. They are to buy all supplies in
Denver. They have, of course, agreed
to employ Denver labor. Now Denver
must make good.
Denver to Purchase Site.
At a meeting of the directors of the
Civic and Commercial Association
Tuesday an unanimous vote adopted
the resolutions of the committee and
an ovation was accorded w. G. Evans,
who first suggested securing the re-
cuperation camp for Denver, and who
has served as chairman thruout the
negotiations that ended in the final
selection of Denver as the site.
Denver's part is now to purchase
the site selected in Gutheil park, con-
sisting of 600 acres, on which options
have been secured at sl3l, ,71250 thru
the negotiations of Harry X. Brown
and F. J. Chamberlin. The negotia-
tions were made thru the authority of
the Civic and Commercial Associa-
ton. A resolution was unanimously
adopted to purchase the property at
once. to be leased to the government
for hospital site as long as needed,
at the nominal rent of 81 year and
taxes.
Pay Roll to Reach Millions.

sisting of W. G. Evans, John c. Mitch
ell and Cass f. Harrington, supple
mented by the report of Carl Hinton,
just returned from Washington, i'm
pressed the directors of the Civic and
Commercial Association with the mag
nitude of the proposed camp. The
recuperation camp will within a year,
should the war continue, reach 5000
beds. Should the war continue even
beyond that time, the camp probably
will be enlarged to care for $4,000
soldiers. The estimated expenditures
in salaries, equipment and supplies
soon will reach $4,000, 900 each year.
