Denver labor bulletin., 1918-06-08
PERsHING's CRUSADERS, OF

! formation department OF the united
States government, are to be exhib-
tied at the Broadway theater for one
week, beginning next Monday. This
is Uncle Sans own show, staged in
America and France under his direc-
ton, and all receipts go to the war
| chest. These pictures are intended to
show those who have so generously
subscribed to the Liberty loans, to the
Red Cross, to the Y. NJ. C. A., the
| Knights of Columbus and other war
causes, what their money is accom-
plishing. This picture was made by
specially selected photographers and
gives a comprehensive idea of the
| vast activities of the American army
and navy, both in this country and
abroad. These official films bring the
| war direct to the people of Denver,
and while comfortably seated in the
theater, safe from shells, gas bombs
| and aeroplane assaults, you can gain
| a better knowledge of what our gov
eminent is doing to make the world
| safe for democracy, than could be OBJ
tanned thru six months of travel, even
| were you permitted the freedom of
| investigation. Go to the Broadway
| any afternoon or evening next week
and see these pictures.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE DEM
ocratic and Republican state central
| committees were opened in Denver
this week, the former in the Remark
hotel and the latter in the Colorado
hotel. This means that the political
campaign for this falls general cleo
ton is getting fairly under way. A
meeting of the Democratic state CEN
trial committee will be held today (Sat-
urday) at the Brown Palace hotel,
when the place and date of the state
assembly is to be determined 1t is
| probable that secretary to the COM
mittee will be named to fill the va

some time ago of Jesse F. Moler.
Chairman Miller is likely to be au-
thoriZed to select secretary. Nu-
merous prospective candidates are
sending out "feelers" to ascertain
their popularity with the rank and
file of voters, both Democratic and
Republican.

DIR. LIVINGSTON FARRAND,
president of the Colorado State Uni
versity at Boulder, reached home this
week after year in France, where
he organized campaign against the
white plague. He arrived at the uni
versity just in time to participate in
the graduation exercises and hand out
157 diplomas. The student body gave
the prexy a great reception, and in
return he made a speech, telling
briefly of his experiences in France.
He summed up the situation in these
sentences: "The French nation is to-
day stronger than it ever was A
year ago this was not true. The en-
trance of America into the conflict
has caused the change. Italy is in
ternally in a serious condition. Her
northern population is far differently
constituted than is her southern citi-
zenry. The people of the north are
intelligent and industrious. In the
south the peasant class, ignorant and
easily swayed, predominates. 1t is
among these peasants that German
propaganda has been widely spread
and the people are ready, as a result,
to follow any revolutionary movement
which gains momentum. OF the Brit
ish empire and her stand there is no
question. Great Britain will stick to
the finish, even tho it takes her last
man." The Board of Regents of the
State University have granted DR..
Farrand another years leave of alb
sence and he leaves on a return Jour
ney to France next week.

20 per cent higher basis of fare than
in 1917. There had been some anxiety
on this score, as it was reported no
excursion rates would be made by the
National Railroad administration.
However, official announcement came
