JAPAN'S OCEAN TRADE
 IS CAUSE FOR COMMENT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-Former Senator Jonathan Bourne of ore gon asserts that the growth of ocean carrying trade of Japan since the outbreak of war has reached 3 point where the prospect of Japan csc competition in ocean freight af ter the war is such as to cause se- rious reflection. During the last three years Japanese vessels carried Unified States freights to the value of $286,OO0,000 more than our ac tual trade with her for that period With the help of gold which Amer ica has been sending her, Japan is increasing her steamship capital Tn 1913 merchandise passing be- tween the United States and Japan in Japanese vessels was 2.5 pel cent. of our total foreign trade by water; in 1917 it's was S.4 pei cent.

WHITE CHOCOLATE IS
 GREAT SWISS PRODUCT

PARIS. Jan. IS. The Swiss army, which now and then figures in the daily news as fighting hard to maintain it's neutrality, has but one notable food product-the white chocolate. This is made entirely of cocoa@butter and sugar, the brown residue of the bean after re- moval from the stearin being ex- eluded The nodded chocolate cake has the smooth, glossy, ivory-white appearance of a billiard ball. A less sweet form of the white cho- colate has dried cream incorpor- ated in lieu of sugar. Both types are recognized as of food value su- perior to that of the ordinary brown chocolate: the brown part is much overrated. in this respect being com parable to beef extract. calves foot jelly, and other supposed dainties, 'popularly imagined to be highly nu' tritious.

REPAIRS HAVE BEEN
 MADE MANY TEUTON
 VESSELS IN AMERICA

WASHINGTON: The Committee on Publication issues the following:
 All the damage done to 109 Ger man ships by their crews, prior to their seizure by5the United States Government when war was declared, has been repaired and these ships are today in service, adding more than 50O,000 gross tonnage to the transport and cargo fleets in war service for the United Etates.
 There is evidence that German central authority gave an, order for destruction of these ships, effective on or about February 1, 1917, si- multaneous with the date set for unrestricted warfare and that the purpose was to infiict such vital damage to the machinery of all German ships in our ports that none would be operated for from Is months to 2 years.
 This purpose has been defeated in signal fashion. In less than eight months all the ships were in service.
 The destructive campaign of the German crews cunningly compre- hended a system of ruin which they believed would necessitate the ship ping of new machinery to substi- ute for that which was ruthlessly damaged by drilling or dismantle- nent There is documentary proof hat the enemy believed the damage rreparable.
 To obtain new machinery would have entailed a prolonged process of design, manufacture, and installa- tion. Urged by the necessity of conserving time sthe engineers of the Navy Department succeeded, by unique means, in patching and weld ing broken parts and replacing all of the standard parts which the

Mr. Wann generously placed his ear
at Mr. Bradbury's disposal. The dis
tance from Canon City to Victor by
the new highway, according to Mr..
Bradbury. is slightly in excess OF 35
miles and the scenery it opens up to
motorists is of surprising beauty and
magnificence. THE new road" said
Mr.. Bradbury, this morning, lis

uniform grade thruout. The roadway
is smooth and wide and the bridges
strong and substantial. The road, it,
self, as well as the beauty of the can

as you may be assuredsE II was the
first message l had had from home
for a month.
When ! last wrote you told you
we were being held in reserve Well,
on the first of this month they put
our di, ision in the line to meet the
Boche and we have been. there ever
since. but expect to go out in about
ten days for a rest and build up our
losses. We got into the worst place
we have ever been, but are holding il
in spite of everything. We are on a
salient in a forest and want to tell
you that our division has been fight
ing like demons. 1t held fhe Germans
in check and drove them back out OF
the forest for about mile.
The fighting has been regular old
Indian stuff. For the first ten days
there were no trenches and the line
would change every day. We hauled
the wounded out by the Hundreds and
half the time we expected to run into
the Bocha when going too fast. Most
every car in the section was hit with
shell pieces and mine was struck with
machine gun bullets. A fellow was hit

time. They are nice places TO be in.
"They use the machine guns lot
in the forests. and. believe me. the
gunners pay an awful price for all the
gains they make. Things have quiet
ed down pretty well lately, but every
body is expecting another big German
drive and hoping that it won't fall in
their sector. There is Just one ad-
vantage in this kind OF fighting. and
that is that II will hasten the end OF

been terrible this spring and they will
continue all summer II they keep on
