ANNUAL CONVENTION NUMBER THE DENVER BULLETIN
NOW IN FIFTH YEAR OF GREAT WORLD WAR WITH THIRTY
NATIONS ALIGNED in FIGHT FOR PEOPLES DEMOCRACY

fields the allied airmen are masters
This will be accentuated when the
American air fleet arrives at its full
quota and German cities will begin to
get a real taste of destruction from
the clouds-a form of warfare" which
the Germans themselves invented.
Cost in Lives and Money.
1t is impossible to estimate how
many millions have fallen on the field
of battle since Austria Hungary de-
clared war against Serbia on July %,
1914. A veritable tidal wave of woe
has swept the world. And as for the
vast sums of money expended upon
the fighting machinery-the amounts
almost surpass comprehension 1t
was estimated that during the past
year the war cost the allied nations
from $50, 900, 900 to 100000, 900 daily,
while it cost the central powers from
S40,000,0O0 to 100000 every day.
The hardships of war have fallen
most heavily on the central empires.
Conditions in Austria arising from
famine and general misery entailed
by the conflict are beyond description.
Unrest has developed to such an ex-
tent a revolution would not be sur
prising. From the standpoint of food
shortage, Germany is not far behind
and the discomfort in Germany, espe-
cially in the industrial districts, is find
ing expression in ever-occurring
strikes

ONLY REMEDY IGNORED.

A New York legislator would pre-
vent rent profiteering by forbidding
any increase in house rents regard
less of shortage in housing or of other
conditions. 1t is encouraing to learn
that this form of profiteering is at
least receiving some legislative at
tention, altho the bill itself can
scarcely be designated a model of
craftsmanship. The bill, which has
received friendly mention from the
New York Sun, might if passed, ben
eft a few tenants who do not want
TO move, but it can furnish no hous-
ing to those barred by the shortage.
1t offers no encouragement to build
ing, but must induce owners of va
cant building lots to pause a while
longer before building upon them.
And so, like many another effort to
remedy an evil without removing its
cause, it may bring little improve
ment. 1t is admitted that rent profit
eering is due to house shortage. House
shortage is due to the fact that own
ers of unusued lots do not build upon
them. And a taxation system which
penalties industry and encourages
speculation accounts for inactivity of
the landowners. Then why not at
tack the evil at its source? Instead
of applying the future "pass-a-law'
panacea, why not rearrange the tax
system so that it will discourage spec
ulation and encourage industry? Gov
ernor Whitman recently urged consid-
Grafton of that very thing upon a
farmers gathering. Would it not be
equally well for legislators to con-
slider it?

WHEN EXPERTS DISAGREE

The conversation turned to the sub

dote was recalled by Senator George
Sutherland of Utah.
A man in Western town was hurt
in railroad accident, and after be-
ing confined to his home for several
weeks he appeared on the street walk
ing with the aid of clutches.
Hello, old fellow" greeted an ac-
quaintance, rushing up to shake his
hand. Il am certainly glad to see
you around again."

one. Il am glad to be around again"

ance. Cant you do without them ?"

FIRST AMERICAN TELE-
PHONE GIRLS IN FRANCE.

When the first group of American
women telephone operators arrived in
Paris in March they found awaiting
them comfortable living quarters
which had been made ready for them,
according to the war work council of
the Y. M. c. A. Miss Mary George
White, writing from Paris of this work
says:
9TH Y. M. c. A. accepted gladly
the responsibility offered it by the
army Before the girls arrived the
signal corps officer in charge of the
first group came with a request for
help. The Y. M. c. A. recognizing that
these arrivals might be the forerun-
ner of an American organization SINH
lar to the British w. A. A. c., gladly
undertook the task.
ut was easy for the telephone op-
orators assigned to Paris to live at the
Hotel Petrograd, our hostess house
there. Those assigned to the interior
could be looked out for by secretaries
in certain other places. Workers were
fortunately already at the first town
chosen south of Paris. Nor the fairly
large group, however, who were as
signed to general Headquarters, some
provision had to be made. AS l was
the only secretary with permit en-
abling me to travel freely in the army
zone, | was assigned to that task.
''The town where the general head
quarters is situated is, of course very
much crowded, but we were fortunate
enough to obtain house which had
uooH IeHlcu anu IlIJeQ out as Club
house by a group of officers just before
they were transferred to another post.
The house had been furnished very
modestly for the most part, consider
ing the wealth and rank of the reserve
officers who had planned to use it, and
we could take over the furniture al
most without exception. The men had
added such things as extra balhroou S
and central heating plant to mitigate
the horrors of army life in France.
We were delighted to fall heir to these
