Yielding Line Of British Absorbs
 Shock Impetus
By Associated Press.


 While the German wedge is still moving, it's progress IS not alarm ingly rapid, as it was in the first rush of the Teutonic hordes. The yield ing line, 1t is asserted, has absorbed the impetus of the shock, and wealth cred the storm remarkably well. Berlin claims that 45,000 prisoners and 600 guns have been taken. These were probably the units left to hold easier points .o cend while the main portion of Field Marshal Haig's army fell back.
 Battling for every point of vantage and giving ground only when over whelmed by numbers and exactiug frightfuI toll of lives for every foot abandoned, the British line in Picady is still intact While the German on- slaught gained ground at number of points Monday there was no sign of disintegration in the British forces. which at many points, especially on the northern end of the line, are standing firm.
 The German official report which tells of the defeat of the British and their retreat via Ypres would seem to indicate that the fighting is far north of the Somme battlefield. Lar gest gains made by Germans have been made west of St. Quentin. where they captured Nesle.

 BERLIN, March 25.-"Crown Prince Rupprecht has with the ar mics of General von Buelow, and General von Dermarwitz, again de- feated the enemy in the tremendous struggle near Baupaume, while the corps of General von Derberne and General Lindequist and General Kuehnc have broken through their strong positions, northeast of Bau- paume.

Getting Ready for Brisk

Election of officers was probably
the attraction which brought out

The past year has been of such
unusual harmony and such un-
precedented financial success in
the face of difficulties, that the
important offices of president and
vice-president were found hard to
fill.
Over her almost positive refusal
to act again, Mrs. T. A. Jones was
re- elected president. and highly
commended for her efficient work.
Mrs. Heinmann, vice presidant.
will absolutely not act another
year, and the filing of the Office
was left open until the next meet
ing.
The Offices of secretary and
treasurer have been satisfactorily
filled by Mrs. Kelso and Mrs.
ellison respectively. AS neither
wished to succeed themselves,
Mrs. G. I. Spessard and Mrs. Geo.
Curnow will occupy the positions,
A vote of thanks and apprecia-
ton of services was extended all

SELECTING MEN FAR THE NAVY

Denver, Oct. 10-The selection of
specially qualified Colorado men for
the United States navy under the new
system of voluntary induction has be-
gun at the Denver navy recruiting sta
ton, 1910 Seventeenth street. No
more men will be enlisted directly, but
those who show themselves to be es-
pecially desirable will be allowed to
apply and their applications forwarded
to the navy department at Washington,
which may ask the local board for the
induction of these men into the navy.
About $500 men will be chosen under
this system each month from the entire
United States.
Denver's monthly quota should be
about fifty men. All applicants must
be registered, must have received their
serial and order numbers, and have
been classified by their local boards.
No applicants will be accepted until
they present their final classification
cards. The navy physical standards
will be maintained more strictly than
ever before and no waivers will be re-
quested for any defect.
The following classes of men will be
considered only:
U Men who are qualified for en-
trance into the navy trade schools;
that is, they must have considerable
knowledge of the trade for which they
wish to qualify before enlisting.
(2) Machinists and tradesmen quail
flied for the aviation branches.
(3) Men qualified for entrance into
the engineer officer material school
Stevens Institute, Hoboken, N. j. These
men must be.graduates of college engi.
neering courses.
Under this system no men will be
selected for the botto mratings of ap.
prentice seamen or firemen third class.
Such men will be selected by the draft
board by the system which has hithei'
to obtained for the army.

government also has in mind the health
and general welfare of the civilian pop
ulation. The government must have
$4,000 nurses by January l. In order
not to utterly deprive the civilian popu-
lation of the nation of the professional
services of these women, it becomes
necessary to take stock of all available
nurse timber at this time, 80 that an
equable distribution of them may be
made.
Every nurse is comprehended-grad-
uate, undergraduate, registered, unreg-
istered, pupil nurses, nurses aides and
the very large number of so-called semi
| trained nurses, which include practical
nurses, midwives and trained attend
ants. A complete classification OF
these women will be made. Every fam
lily must cooperate with the Red Cross
nurse survey representatives in order
to make this canvass a success.
The request of the secretary of war
and the surgeon general amounts to an
order, so that the Red Cross, as well as
those embraced by the survey, must
do everything possible to provide the
required data and information.
Every Red Cross chapter has been
instructed to appoint nurse survey
committee to carry out this important
work. j. G. Arnold of Denver is tha
Mountain division director.

CORN SILAGE Is OF
VALUABLE THIS YEAR

Three year experimental feeding at
the Colorado Experiment station has
proven that when corn silage is added
to producing ration of barley
and alfalfa, one ton replaces approxi-
mately 100 pounds of barley and one
third of ton of alfalfa.
T. E. Leiper, who conducted the ex-
periments, says: "These results are
based on experiments in which first
class feeds were fed. The alfalfa of
1918 is not first class hay and approx
imately one and one-half tons will be
required to equal ton of good first
class alfalfa. The average silage Of
1918 will probably be the best in num-
Der of years. Under these conditions
one ton of corn silage should replace
100 pounds of barley, and almost ona-
half ton of alfalfa. With $12 for
damaged alfalfa and SO per hundred
for barley, corn silage should be worth
from SO to $40 per ton to the average
beef feeder.
eff corn silage costs $40 per ton, the
feeder will obtain practically the same
gain on money invested in barley
alfalfa ration. Most of our farms can
produce a ton of corn silage for con.
siderable less than $40 ton.
"Corn silage in the silo costs from
SIS to 81 per ton. Hence, the feeder
realizes saving in the cost of feed
silage fed. Adding corn silage to 4
grain and hay ration should save the
feeder from $3.50 to $3.50 on the cost
of feed to each steer, or $112.5O tc
$1s7.50 on every carload fed corr
silage."
