Americans, both civil officials and
military men, cannot conceal the
eXultation they feel over the sue
cesses of the allies and particularly
the splendid work which Americans
have been doing on the western front.
press the soft pedal on their conversa-
ton so as not unduly to elate or excite
the Imagination of the people Of this
country in regard to future battles.
While there are not many officials OF
the present day who have any personal
recollection of what took place during
the Civil war; they are historians
enough to know that on several occa-
sfons it seemed that the Union was go
ing to triumph at once. although 1t
turned out afterwards that the Con-
federates fought on for long time.
"When Germany cracks, she will go
to pieces very suddenly" is the ex-
preston I heard from careful OBJ
server of the progress of the war. But
it is very doubtful whether Germany
will go all to pieces and whether there
will not be many hard-fOught battles
before the allied armies are across the
Rhine. Officials in Washington do not
want Americans to become over-con-
achieved since the troops of this coun-
try have been participating in the great
war.

While there is reluctance on the
part of quite number of mem
berS of both senate and house TO
accept the new suggestions OF the
war department extending the draft
ages. there is no doubt that the lcgis-
lation will be passed. In fact, the age
limit would have been reduced to nine
teen or twenty when the army bill
passed the senate if it had not met
with opposition from the war depart
ment. Provost Marshal General Crow
der then as now favored the reduction
to eighteen years. but did not receive
the support of his superiors. Discus
sion in the senate showed that a great
many men favored lowering the age
limit, while others preferred that old
er men be taken and that the young
men remain exempt.

TOO GOO of the 2.oooooo soldiers IN

1,5O0O 900 of the 100000 soldiers IN
below the age of twenty-one. Such an
old Civil war soldier as Senator Mel
son of Minnesota is very insistent that
the boys from eighteen TO twenty-one
be given an opportunity TO get into
the war He and others who believe
with him WI strenuously oppose
provision which will be offered to the
new draft law providing that the boys
from eighteen to nineteen must not De
sent abroad until after they have had
a years training. Instead OF taking
a rear to make a soldier, it has been
demonstrated that the alert young men
of America make good soldiers IN SIX
months. Army officers with experience
believe that far better results will be
obtained with the men below twenty
one than with those over thirty-one.

Nothing is quite so persistent as the
German propaganda. If the Germans
had given as much attention to legltl-
mate industrial and agricultural pur-
suits as they have to war and propa-
ganda they could have made greater
progress in the conquest of the world
than they have by war and the auXll-
larry methods they have used to pro-
mote that war. In this country az
manner and kinds of propaganda are
constantly cropping out. There is no
business, industry or vocation in which
the Huns have not made some attempt
to cripple the government by their in
sidious propaganda. For instance,
there has recently been circulated
story that there is a scarcity of glass
jars for canning foods, which when
traced to it's origin proved to be Ger
man propaganda for the purpose of
hindering the preservation of foods.
1t must be that the Germans their
sympathizers, the pacifists. and every
other faction of that ilk, have raised
anu maintained an enormous fund to
carry on all sorts of propaganda which
could in any way tend to hinder the
United States in the prosecution of the
war.

Ballreich's Opposition

Ballreich, of Pueblo, the state as
sembly nominee on the Republican
ticket for governor, has opposition
In the primary. At the assembly
Drake, of Fort Collins, and Ballreich.
of Pueblo, were nominated. Drake
dropped out of the race, leaving
Ballreich a clear field. II he had
remained in the contest 1t would have
been perfectly proper because both
were given assembly encouragement,
but the contest now Is between an
assembly nominee and a candidate
who is going on by petition. This
candidate is Oliver Shoup, of Colo
RADIO Springs.
Shoup is good man, without
doubt He would make a good gov
ernor it is true. but we do not think
much OF Eleventh hour contests like
this. Why did not Mr.. Shoup go
before the assembly, or why did not
his friends take his name before the
assembly as did the friends of Mr..
Ballreich? If he wanted to be a
candidate that was the time and the
place. 1t Is true the primary law
gives a man the right to go on as is
Mr.. Shoup, but all things the law
sanctions are not necessarily good
policies to persue.
The trouble with politics in Colo
RADIO is that there are too many de-
signing politicians who are always
wanting to stir up something. 1t is
true in the Republican party and 1t
Is true In the Democratic party, and
It will be true in that conniving,
tricky, so-called ''Non-Partisan'
league. Then why fall" for these
things that are done in this manner.
Republicans could gracefully support
man such as is Mr.. Shoup. but the
support In the primary race now is
due Mr.. Ballreich. the assembly NOM
inee. Had he not been nominated at
that Colorado Springs assembly he
never would have entered the race
by petition. On the other hand he
would have been out stumping the
state for Shoup had Shoup been the
man designated.
1t is very doubtful II 1t Is Mr.
Shoup's honest desire to enter the
race. but there are always those who
prefer to see primary contests rather
than party victory. Most people de-
sire party victory but there are others
who like warm political contests, and
these are mainly the fellows who
make political campaigning pay
ing proposition.

a soldier preparing for war. After
the announcement of his candidacy
he starts with precinct primary.
then a county assembly, then a pri-

is all over and his $3.50 chance of
being elected is gone he rests up and
starts all over for the next campaign,

aspirations and bull dog tenacity.-

scars with India ink, but the method
was not satisfactory and has almost
been abandoned. DIR. F. Fl. verhoeff

the American Medical association the
delicate operation by which he in1ects
India ink with hypodermic syringe

The Best Advertisement
In The World. ........
1T IS THE TICK OF THE CLOCK.

1T is THE TICK OF THE CLOCK.
1t says only one, short word, but it says
that word over and over.
Here the tick is loud, there low
But always millions on millions of clocks
are saying it.
1t never stops.
It speaks to babys ears, and to the dy-
ing hours of an old man.
1t speaks in time of joy; in time of grief;
in time of idleness, or struggle and stress:
in time of peace, or time of WAR.
1t never stops.
Always it is telling the old, old story of
the clock "Time Flies"
Always it is repeating the stern lesson of
life, '"The World Forgets.'
1t never stops
And it has made the clock the best known
hing in all the world.
Such is the power of reiteration
Such is the power of persistence.
Such is the power of constancy.
Call the advertising roll of honor, the
world-famous advertising, alive to answer.
None ever stopped. All have told their
story over and over, and still are telling it.
Advertising stopped is advertising dead.
Advertising brought back from the grave
must foot again the long, old road from
the very beginning.
NOW is the time to advertise-the only
time
Advertise tomorrow when tomorrow is
NOW.
Listen to THE CLICK of the clock, as it
tells you: "Time flies The world forgets'
NOW is the time to advertise.
