THE BIGGEST SPLASH OF ALL
The Loudest Noise Not Necessarily
Follows The Biggest Splash.

When the American shipyards on
July 4th launched the greatest ton
mage of vessels the world had ever
dreamed of for a week much less a
day, the splash was certainly heard
all round the world. 1t meant more
toward the winning of this war than
any battle which has been fought 1t
meant that the submarines menace
had been conquered for all time. On
this occasion every man connected
with the shipping board, but one, took
the opportunity to make a speech and
let the public know what big part
he had in it. The man who made it
all possible, however, and without
whose splendid executive ability and
far reaching industrial knowledge not
ten per cent of those vessels would
have reached the water. made no
speech He had no time to talk, when
he has anything to say il is said from
the old Office chair and goes straight
home where it means more ships For
the benefit of those firc-caters who
say every man with a German name
should be wiped Off the earth we will
say his name is Schwab. When the
final impartial history of this war is
written he will be given as much
credit for winning it rs any other man,
be he general or ruler.

Long Time to Wait.

All accounts seem to agree at least
that Won Hindenburg is dead. The
only dispute seems to be as to the
manner of his death. Some claim it
was caused by an apoplectie stroke
following a violent quarrel with tho
Kaiser. Others have died mysterious
ly following such a quarrel even in
times of peace. However we rather
think that Hindy died through saving
up so long for that feast in Paris that
he actually starved to death.

Drafts Totalling 27OO Men for Colo
RADIO Already Called for August
and More are Likely.

Adjutant General CrOwder has al
ready issued three draft calls for the
month of August, and the total which
Colorado will have to send under them
is over 27O0 men. These have not yet
been apportioned among the counties,
but according to the past apportion-
mcnts Prowers county would have to
send about sixty men. There are only
about thirty left in the old class IA,
and the answers to the questionnaircs
and physical test Of the new registra-
tion indicates that about sixty names
will be added to that class from the
registration of June 5th. Thus it will
be seen that the drafts already made
for August will practically exhaust
the entire available Glass A. As the
announced program of the govern
ment is to continue drafting men at
the present or heavier rate for four
or five months yet, it will be seen that
Prowers eounty's share if it continues
to be given the present rating must
provide many of its men in Scptcm-
ber and all after that from the more
preferred classes. Fifteen of our boys
went to the various college camps of
the state this week as announced in
last weeks Register. Twenty-Five will
sgo to Camp Tsavis on next Monday.

made on the towns for farm labor arc
