HOME FOR WOUNDED RAILROAD
MEN

Railroad men have found a new
way to "do their bit in the war and
for the men who return from France
wounded and sick. They are raising
a large fund to establish a GONZALES
cent home for wounded soldiers ana
sailors who were before enlistment
connected with railroad operation,
and hope soon to have a sufficient
amount for the purpose.
The home will be located on the
Double Header Ranch, Just at the
foot of Double Header Mountain, from
which II takes It's name. Guy Adams,
chairman of the mail transportation
committee for the Railroad Admins
tration and traffic manager of the
Union Pacific, gave 40 acres OF the
ranch for the purpose to the Railroad
Mems Mountain Home Association, OF
which he Is one OF the trustees.
The site for the home is 32 miles
west of Denver and 10 miles up Tur-
key Creek Canyon from Morrison sta
ton, The ranch as whole comprises
100 acres, ana has seven fine springs

THE TASKS AHEAD

Washington, September 10 The
Republican Publicity Association,
through its President, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne, Jr., today gave out the fol-
lowing statement from its Washing
ton Headquarters:
1--WE must not get the notion that
the winning of the war is the only
problem before this country. That Is
the most important problem-the one
to which all others must be subordi-
mated. But there are numerous other
tasks before us and to which we must
apply ourselves if we are to continue
a prosperous, free and progressive
people. In our efforts not TO irritate
the Bolsheyiki of Russia, we must not
set aside law and order in America.
In our passion for government con-
troll of everything we must not stiflc
individual initiative In our desire to
suppress traitors we must not put
gag in the mouths Of patriots In
our zeal to win the war, we must not
send porous raincoats to the soldiers
in the trenches or let men of actual
or pretended influence in high places
get uncomfortable fees for securing
government contracts for their
clients. In our willingness to pay
large taxes for support of the war,
we must not tax legitimate industry
to death "Win the war" is our first
but not our only slogan, The man
who sets out on one undertaking and
turns blind eye and deaf ear to
everything else is doomed to meet
misfortune"

THEY CRY FOR FRIENDS

The German people. according to
their newspapers, are asking "Why
have we no powerful allies?"
It mdst be a rhetorical question.
Even this people, held down by their
rulers and junkers as they are, must
know by this time, why the civilizcr
world is against them.
Allies, which means friends, don Z
aock to man or to a country that
flaunts in the face of the world a COM
plete contempt of honor, humanity.
the most ordinary kind of honesty,
and every other expression of the
supposed difference between man and
beast.
If it is possible that you don't know
this yet, Fritz, get your censorship
lifted and you will find it out.
But there is one thing in that ques-
ton which we are glad to hear We
are glad to know that Germany at
least realizes and admits our power
1t took us considerable length OF
time to get that admission. We are
goin gto drive home the knowledge OF
it now until her newspapers cry for
more than an explanation of her
friendlessness.
This Fourth Liberty Loan is as good
an opportunity as we can have.
She knows now what our fighters
do. We will show her what kind of
power the civilian body has-and
uses.

URGES HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
TO ENTER NORMAL SCHOOLS

"On the character and ability of the
teachers everything depends" says
DR.. P. P. ClaXton, U. S. Commissioner
of Education in urging boys and girls
to enter normal schools and prepare
for teaching this year.
Besides the thousands of men who
have been drafted or have volunteered
for service in the army, other thou
sands of men and many thousands of
women have quit the work of teaching
for employment in Industries, COM
merce, civil service, and clerical pc
sitlons where they are paid better
| than for teaching. AS the war con-
! tinues and as the cost of living in
creases, and the demand for services
of the kind teachers can render grows
larger, the numbers of teachers leav-
ing the schools for other employment
will become still greater and this
tendency is likely to continue long af-
ter the war is over unless the salar
les of teachers should be increased
far beyond the present averoge. How
are their places to be filed? BY train
ed or by unframed teachers?
UNLESS the attendance at the nor
NAL schools and in departments of ed
ucation in colleges and universities is
much increased, most of these places
must be filled by men and women
without professional knowledge and
with no special training for their
work.-In this case the character of
the schools will inevitably deterior-
ate and the time of the children and
the money appropriated for education
will be to a large extent wasted. 1t
Is, therefore, very important that fol
next year and for many years to come
: there should be more students in
teachers than there have ever been,
Thousands of boys and girls who have
finished thei rhigh school work might
and should render their country n
high type of patriotic service by en-
tering these schools next fall, win
ter, or spring to prepare themselves
for the work of teaching in the ele-
mentary and secondary schools"

READY TO OFFER
HAND OF PEACE
Kaiser Says He Has Left No Stone
Unturned to Shorten the War.

Amsterdam, September 12-Speak-
ing at the Krupp munition works at
Essen, Emperor William declared that
every one in the remotest corner of
the Fatherland knew that he had left
no stone unturned to shorten the war,
as far as possible for your people and
for the entire civilized European
world"
The emperor said it took two to
make peace-that one could not do it
unles he couud overcome the other,
Germany, he declared, was confront
ed by her enemies will to destroy her
and she must place against this her
determination to preserve her exist
ence.
After mentioning his offers of peace
the emperor said that the German.
leaders had made it plain to every one
who wished to understand that we
are at all times ready to offer the
hand of peace"

EVANGELIST FOR
WAR WORKERS
"Billy Sunday" Methods Stimulate
Production in Southern Factory
and Keep Men on job.

Uncle Sam now has an evangelist
duly enrolled in the great army of
war workers. Moreover, the evange-
list has been employed not to perform
office duties or military service, but
to stick to his old job of preaching
and eXhorting. His name is Luther
B. Bridges, and his success may open
new field of endeavor for many q
mute, unknown Billy Sunday.
Mr.. Bridges is conducting a cam
paign in the South against the pow
ers of evil in the form of labor turn
overs. He is holding industrial re-
vivals that cause many discontinued
or restless worker to repent of the sin
of wanting to quit his job. Every day
he breaches the sort of patriotism
that expresses itself in the greatest
efficiency, the patriotism that keeps
in mind always the fact that the man
in the shop is making it possible for
the man in the Army to march to vic
tory.
The Government found Mr. Bridges
through the Tallahassee Power Co.,
at Badin, n. c., which is a subsidiary
of the Aluminium Co. of America, and
is engaged in producing war mater
ials. The company had been severely
handicapped by labor turnover that
amounted to nearly 500 per cent a
year. In its aluminium section, where
$50 men are employed in tire eight
hour shifts, it had become virtually
impossible to maintain the shifts over
the week-ends The cessation or
slackening of the work not only re-
duced production but caused deterior-
alton in the quality of the metal.
j. f. S. Thorpe, manager of the
plant. heard that Mr.. Bridges had
been extraordinarily successful in the
third Liberty loan campaign and the
second Red Cross drive. He suggest
ed that the evangelist should try his
luck in arousing the patriotism of
the workers. Mr.. Bridges started
meetings in the local theater. He
went to the plant and as the shifts
changed delivered little sermons,
brief and convincing, to the men. He
talked practical patriotism, he appeal
ed to employees, he made them under
stand that their part in making NUM-
tons was as important as the task
of the soldiers who used the war ma
terial
The industrial revival lasted three
weeks. and each Saturday there was a
blank in the place where the number
that dropped out was usually record
ed. 1t was time for the evangelist to
move on to place where he was more
needed, and then it happened that
Uncle Sam found out that there was
plenty of chance for Mr.. Bridges to
help win the war by enlisting in the
