salary that are being granted in all
businesses and in the government SER
vice itself, it is felt that jusice re-
quires a similar increase in the rates
of. pensions.
Another consideration that will
stimulate action on the proposed in
creases is the liberal manner in which
Congress has provided for our men in
the present war. No veteran of the
Civil War would deny to our soldiers
of the present day the generous treat
ment they are receiving. But, although
the hardships of war are rigorous in
the extreme, nevertheless the men
who went through the Civil war were
forced to endure for four long years
privations of every conceivable kind,
and conditions of sanitation resulting
in disease and infection of wounds
that are totally unknown in the pres
mt conflict. Those who survived were
incapacitated in greater or less de
gree for the rest of their lives. Such
men should be accorded as generous
consideration as those who will fight
our battles abroad.
Republicans generally are lining up
behind the movement for increased
pensions for the Civil War heroes, and
it is the prevailing sentiment that a
minimum of S25 per month should be
allowed for service of 80 days, with
4 maximum of as high as $50 for a
service of three years or more.

Red Cross Chapter Makes Record for
Which All Members Can Be
Proud

Mr.. B. NJ. Thompson of Denver, aud
tor for the Mountain Division of the
American Red Cross, visited the To-
cal offices of the Prowcrs County
Chapter this week and audited the
accounts. His report can be found be-
low. Mr. Thompson was very compli-
mentary of the enthusiasm and eff
cheney displayed by the Prowers coun-
" officials and especially of the vol
unteer women workers He said that
few places of even double the size of
Lamar was turning out anything like
the amount or quality Of work being
sent from here and all citizens should
be proud of this showing. No work
shipped by the Prowers County Chap
ter has ever been returned.
1t now has over 220O members and
long list of active workers in all
lines of supplies, and is turning out
knitted goods and bandages of all
kinds as fast as the materials can be
secured. The report Of Mr. Thompson
is as follows:
Lamar, Colo, Jcn. /, 1918.

County Chapter American National
Rcd Cross, Lamar. Colo.
Gentlemen:
have thits date completed the aud
1 of your chapter accounts and find
them correct in every particular.
Great credit is due you and the COM
munity at large for loyal support and
cooperation, demonstrated since the
day Of your organization last May.
Permit me TO thank you on behalf Of
he Mountain Division.
May your chapter continue TO pro-
gress in the same degree. if not more,
during the forthcoming year as you
1ave in the past.
Respectfully,
b. NJ. THOMPSON, Auditor.

In connection with the lamentable
weakness of our preparedness in small
arms which the Crozier revelations
have exposed it is well TO recall that
the Rock Island arsenal, upon which
we had largely relied for the supply
of Springfield rifles, lay idle for the
better part of the first three years of
Mr.. Wilson's first term. Faced, as
the democratic party was, with an in
sufliciency of revenue as a result of
its ill-considered tariff policy, Con-
gress was compelled to cut appropria-
tions in order to shrink the deficit
which, in spite of all efforts, rose TO
an alarming figure. But instead of
cutting appropriations for rivers and
harbors improvements upon insignifi-
cant southern creeks and for similar
valueless projects, the majority of
Congress cut off the appropriations
for the Rock Island arsenal, among
other things of national importance,
and well equipped factory, with a
normal daily capacity of at least $50
rifles, produced absolutely nothing for
nearly a thousand working days. A
little arithmetic will show what the
ultimate cost was to the country when
the day came for "springing to their
guns" as Mr.. Bryan has so often pic
tured the free men of America-only
there were no guns for them to spring
to.

Mismanaged Mails

On Christmas day in Washington it
was announced that the post office was
up to date with its mail and that there
would be prompt delivery of Christ
mas packages. On the same day that
this announcement was published with
the apparent authority of some postal
official, postal clerks declared there
were 50 carloads of mail on the side
tracks in Washington. What the real
condition was is indicated by. the fact
that on December 2s it was announced
that a car carrying a million dollars
worth of securities from Savannah to
New York City got lost and was found
after a nine day delay in the railroad
yards in Washington.
There is very strong suspicion
that this condition was not by any
means limited to the national capital,
and that not only at Christmas time,
but at other times there is great de-
lay in mail transmission. due to the
Inefficient management Of those high
err up in control. There is no suspicion
that the clerks themselves are falling
DOWN in their part of the task. As
means of learning the exact truth,
II has been suggested that in every
city in the country chambers of com
merce or boards of trade appoint com
mittees to send test letters both To-
cally and for long distance transmits
sion, making records of the dates of
mailing and receipt, so that the real
situation can be determined. 1t is
suggested that these committees be
bipartisan so that it will be a purely
business matter, with no suspision of
partisan politics.

ROUTE OF NEWEST HIGHWAY

Branch of Dallas to Denver Road to

Some one, in the spirit Of fun, ask
ed: "What is this D-C-D highway ?
Does it mean burned crooked drive ?"
It might mean that, but il doesn't
1t means the exact opposite Direct
Course to Denver'-or, more literally
interpreted: Dcnver-Canadian- Dallas

tions Of this very popular and i'm
portant highway are very familiar
with its name and its merits. Those
who are not so fortunte as 70 have liv-
ed on the portion of the route hereto
fore established are all Missourians
and have TO be shown.
The D-C-D Highway association
held convention in Clinton this week
and officially designated that portion
of the route to be known as the Okla
homa City Division. The original of
this route extends from Denver to
Dallas via Canadian, Texas, crossing
the treacherous Canadian there on a
permanent steel and concrete bridge
and traversing the western and south
ern part of Oklahoma. Already this
highway has been completed to the
western border Of the state and has
been officially recognized by the Ma
tional Highway association. At the
Clinton convention the road was des-
ignated from Harmon, Oklahoma. to
Oklahoma City via Clinton and the
Postal Highway from Clinton east was
adopted as the route of the D-C-D.

way association, was at the convention

WASHINGTON NOTES


Washington, Jan. 8.-(Special Cor
respondence)-T veterans of the
Civil War have reason to be encour-
aged at the promising outlook for a
general increase in their pensions dur
ing the present session of Congress.
Several bills have been introduced al
ready by prominent republicans in
both Houses having that end in view,
and it is probable that some form OF
legislation along that line will be en-
acted.
1t is realized that there are many
inconsistencies in the pension laws as
they now stand. Last fall the pensions
of all widows of Civil War soldiers
were raised to S25 per month. But
under the Act of May IL, 1912, man
who served as long as two and half
years in that war and is 20 years old,
receives a pension of $24, with cor
respondingly lower rates for less ser
vice and younger age. If such a SOL
dier should die his widow would be-
gin to draw pension at higher
rate than her husband. While it has
always been the intention of Congress
to provide literally for widows, it has
never been claimed that they should
receive more than the men who did
the fighting.
Again, the high cost of living has
operated as a practical reduction of
every pension, and with the raises in

THE ALLIES AIM
All Selfish Aims Forgotten and
Whole Strength of Nations 70 Be
Dedicated To Overthrow of
Arbitrary Power

Premier Lloyd George in an address
before the union labor assembly on
Saturday stated definitely just why
England went into the war and what
would be the only terms that would
cause her to lay down arms and make
peace. This statement was u definite
answer to the peace bluff that the
Kaiser has been making and as it very
explicitly covers the aims and deter
mination of this country and all the
great nations in the allied ranks ii
has been hailed with universal ap-
proval by all the great newspapers
and statesmen of those countries.
He said England had no selfish in
terest to promote, and only entered
the war because of the absolute re-
fusal of Germany to respect in the
least her treaty obligations. Self re-
spect forced England in and now she
will not lay down arms until Germany
rights some of the unparalleled
wrongs which are at the bottom of
this trouble, and which will forever
prevent permanent peace until set
tied right. Alsace and Lorraine, of
which France was despoiled in flag
rant disregard of the rights of the
people of those provinces who have re-
mained true to France through over
40 years of oppression by the con-
querors, must be returned. Belgium,
Serbia, Montenegro, and invaded parts
of Italy and France must be rcstor-
ed and Unidentified for the damages
so ruthlcssly committed by the in
vaders. Poland must be reestablished
by Germany, Austria and Russia. Pal
estine and Mesopotamia must never
return to the yoke of the unspeakable
Turk In addition there must be guar
antees established that in the future
treaty obligations cannot be violated
at will. The premier says the entire
strength of England will be dedicated
unfiinchingly and until victory
perches upon the allied banners to the
above ends, and she asks no territorial
aggrandizement for herself. The
United States, through President Will
son, had previously announced her po-
sition and in most emphatic language
covering practically the same aims,
and France and Italy have since an
nounccd their most hearty approval.
These four countries can anl will if
necessary fight this war to a success
full conclusion. So the above can be
safely announced as the final offer to
Germany. She must accept those
terms be the time when it may. There
arc many signs that the day is not so
far distant as most people fear, but
with the four greatest powers of the
world outside of Germany dedicated to
the work the end is inevitable if slow.

Of the Postal highway. Delegates were
mere from practically every town on
The proposed route, and all were en-
5husiastic in their declarations of sup
port. Three committeeman and vice
president were selected from each
town represented and others will be
chosen later from towns desiring to
encourage the promotion of the road.
As an illustration of the enthusiasm
which prevailed, w. b. Stafford, rep
resenting FL Reno, stated that so in
tent was his town upon being placed
on the leading highways if the high
ways could not be induced to come to
FL Reno, FL Reno would move to the
highways,
The official markings will be placed
on this highway before spring and it
is confidently believed that next sea-
sons tourist traffic will be much
greater in volume than that hereto
fore enjoyed.
This will constitute the most direct
and practicable route for the eastern
tourists to Colorado, and they will not
be slow to recognize its merits.
