FATE OF World
HANGS on BATTLE
Brilliant Victory or Disaster Is in Store
for the German

Washington, April l5.--The observa.
tions of the military critic of the Paris
Temps on the German offensive reached
here Saturday in an official dispatch
from France and are as follows:
1.-TWO adversaries possessing about the
same number of forces face each other
These forces on both sides are composed
approximately of 200 divisions. Both
make an end of the other. Each hopes
for final decision, and each aims at the
vital point. 1t is no longer a question
OF progress, of gaining an advantage or
of shortening the line, the enemy army
must be destroyed.
Facing the strategist of the Mazurian
lakes is a French general Of marvellous
intelligence and activity He econo-
mics his forces and awaits his hour
The duel of the two men will decide the
fate of the world.
THE enemy failed at Amiens the Goth
OF March In struggle of this character
a blow missed can become singularly
dangerous for the one who attempted it,
and we have the feeling that the success
obtained up to now by the adversary is
of doubtful result. They have gained
him advantages, but they have placed
him in an unstable position which can
become perilous. Completely engaged,
he is obliged to pursue his plan to the
end He is like a man Nho ascends
steep mountain and who is hanging on
narrow ledge between precipices If he
he will win brilliant victory.
If he fails, disaster is inevitable. In
this, success which has not been won
becomes problematical
That of the Germans becomes more and
more so each day"

The news of the death of Mrs. j. M.

sorrow not only to her own immed-
late family and relatives and her num-
esous friends in Cortez, but also thru
out the valley, for the greater part of
her life has been spent in Dolores and
it's vicinity and her beautiful person
ality made her many friends. She
was joyous and happy hearted, sympa-
thetic and kind, and possessed withal
rare intellectual attainments. She was
in every sense of the word companion
and helpmeet to her husband being his
able assistant in much of his work as
clerk of the district court and in the
Cortez branch of the u S. land office.
a school teacher by profession she has
left the impress of her life on the lives
of many young people who have grown
to manhood and womanhood in this and
other vicinities. Her memory will al
ways remain a sweet fragrance in the
lives of those who have know her and
come under her influence. She was
a loving, devoted wife and mother and
of her it can truly be said,
"She lived for those who loved her,
For those who knew her true,
For the heaven that smiled above her,
And the good that she could do. -
Claire Louise Pyle was born July l,
1877, at Canon City, Colorado, the

William Thomas

William Thomas loses out in the
fourth battle for life. Last winter he
had an attach of tonsilitis, from which
he rallied after a severe struggle. In
the summer he underwent an operation
for the removal of his tonsils and for
time it was doubtful whether he would
rally from the anesthetic. Then few
weeks ago he was taken with the nflu-
euza and recovered sufficiently to visit
his parents at the ranch east of Dolores
and afterwards returned to work in the
mines at Rico, where he has been en-
ployed for several months. But he
over-estimated his vitality and re-
lapse resulted which soon developed into
pneumonia and other complications and
thus he lost out in the fourth battle.
He passed away at the Red Cross hos
pital Monday morning at o'clock.
Idris William Thomas was born at
Raymond, Colorado. April 5, 1900. In
early childhood he attended the district
school, later he attended High school
at Rico and Dolores and proved him
self good student. He was married
April "a, 1918 to Miss Erma L. Gates,
who also is under treatment at the
Red Cross hospital. He leaves father,
mother. two brothers, ]. R. of Cedar,
and George of Dolores; one sister, Mrs.
Johanna Mcclure; his wife and large
circle of friends to mourn his early
departure. William was good boy
and identified himself with the better
things of the community. He was
member of the Young Peoples class of
The Baptist Sunday school and an usher
in the church until he moved to Rico

the grave by Rev. c. l.. Flanders. A

To Dolores Branch, Montezuma County
Chapter American Red Cross,
Dolores, Colorado.
From Mr.. Frederick W. Standant,
Subject-Infuenz Expenses.
(Attention, Mrs Amy E. Ditch
field, Chairman.)
We have not heard from you regard
ing the situation at Dolores since your
wire of some days ago.
In order that the matter may be
clearly understood, we want to repeat
what we wrote at that time, that any
expenses in connection with influenza
epidemic are proper charges against
the chapter or branch funds which you
may have on hand.
We had DR.. King to assist in the
medical end of it. We have found him
most efficient at Rico, Telluride and
other points where he has been called,
and feel that he can assist your COM
munity in medical way. But it is a
Red Cross proposition to take care of
the other expenses.
In order that there may be no mis-
understanding in this matter, desire
to say that while the chapter funds
may be used to meet these expenses it
is exceedingly desirable and proper
that the situation should be taken up
with the town authorities and that the
town or community should bear the
burden of these things without putting
them all on the Red Cross. But if the
town or community cannot, or will not,
bear them, then the Red Cross funds
are available to the extent above re-
ferred to-

To All Persons Who Owe Personal
Property Taxes, and All Others Interested

To All Persons Who Owe Personal
Property Taxes. and All Others Interested
For the past three years at about
this time, we have made an effort to
collect delinquent personal property
taxes and have had good results, but
NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Most persons so
delinquent responded but number
have not and it is now our intention to
effect more thorough collection than
ever before.
You are requested to make arrange
ments to take care Of your delinquent
cies in the near future-we want a
clean slate" by January l, 1919. 1t
is as much your duty to help keep up
roads, maintain schools, etc. as it is of
those who faithfully come in and pay
up year after year without extra
notices. You derive the same benefit
as they. In fact, they are paying for
YOUR privileges in the use of public
Improvements.
A collector has been appointed who
will call on those who do not respond
to this request, but we hope that it
will not be necessary to put on this ex-
ira expense and enforce the extreme
provisions of the law in this connection.
The collector will start out about De-
cember or as soon as influenza condi-
tons will permit after that date.
If you have not shipped or marketed,
Just call up so that we will know your
intentions, as we do not wish to be un-
fair. But, we shall expect you to
make good. and help to place our
county along side of those which rank
the highest in percentage of personal
property taxes paid.
Yours respectfully,

County Treasurer.
