London, Sept. 4.-From just below
Ypres to aspeint near Peronne on the
Somme, on front OF virtually so
miles, the German armies are in full
retreat.
This retrograde movement is not
voluntary one on the part of the enc
my, but has been forced by the series
OF unremitting hammer blows inflicted
by Marshal Ferdinand Foch in the last
six or, seven weeks. It has now been
accelerated blythe notable victory won
by Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig in
breaking through the strong defensive
lines protecting the railway centers of
Douai and Cambria and threatening to
outfiank even the main Hindenburg
line south to St, Quentin.
Massed Germans Slaughtered.
Already the taking of 10000 pris-
oners by the British in their advance
is reported and the German casualties
in killed and wounded are declared to
have been notably heavy as their
thickly massed forces felt the weight
of the British blow.
So pronounced and so speedy is the
German retirement that it seems as If
the enemy, if he had not met with dis
aster, is perilously on the verge of one.
Foe Speeds Up Retirement.
In what appears like an effort to es-
cape in time, the scope of the German
retirement which had been proceeding
somewhat leisurely both north and
south Of the Somme. has been marked.
.ly accumulated north OF that river.
In this movement the important
French coal mining city of Lens at the
gates of which the British pounded
vainly virtually all last year, has been
evacuated, the British moving in.
Lys Salient Wiped Out.
To the north in Flanders the retreat
is continuing and the British have
further closed up the Lys salient, by
taking possession of Wulverghem, two
miles south of KENNEL.
South of Lens the Germans appar-
emily are acknowledging themselves
beaten on the Queant- Drocourt line,
where Haig's break through was effect
ed, and are retreating in this vitality
important sector without attempting a
counter-drive upon the victorious Brit
ish.
Still further south the retirement
has resulted in the evacuation of areas
three to four miles deep on both sides
of the Bapaume-C Cambria road, the Brit
ish taking town after town in this area
in their steady advance.

Denver.-Governor julius c. Gunter
has issued the following proclama-
ton:
The growing observance of Father
and Son Week has afforded opportun.
ity for the expression of those fine re-
lationships between father and son OF
such priceless value in the life of the
boy. 1t will establish tie OF com.
radship between father and sen, which
under pressue of business and other
affairs. is being driven out of the life
of both.
The uniting of the latent powers of
fathers and sons makes not only for
moral and spiritual betterment. but
for economic and social improvement.
1t provides most effective means OF
focusing resources of the entire com.
munity upon the building OF character
in the hearts and lives of both boys
and men.
Owing to the war many will be de-
prived of the privilege of having their
sons with them. but all can enter into
the spirit OF the movement They can
carry before their eyes that stalwart
figure In khaki and receive consola-
ton in the thought of the sacrifice
that has been made in Just cause.
Nothing is more important than an
intimate and sympathetic relation be-
tween father and son; nothing more
stimulating and helpful to both faith
ers and sons than an intimate feeling
of comradship and mutual understand
ing.
Therefore. !, julius C. Gunter. COVER
nor of Colorado, do hereby declare
February 18th to nth as Father and
Son Week. and urge upon the citizens
of this commonwealth its observance
to the end that the home may be safe
guarded and the democracy OF the

GREAT EAGLE OF sToNEWoRK
Quartz Rock Bird, Work Of Indians,
Measures 1870 Feet From Tip to

Conflicting stories are told concern

strong mans hands to displace any
one Of them. The rocks lap and over

feathers. No cemeHt holds them in

Weighing from half a pound to three
or four pounds. The image rests on
very firm foundation, for the stone
work extends several feet into the
ground.

Ing vandals dug into the breast of
the eagle; but the work must have
proved too laborious. for the diggers
gave up before they had reached the
bottom layer of overlapping stones.
Rough but fairly accurate measure
ments of the bird show the length
of the eagle from the middle of the
tall to the head to be 102 feet, and
from tip to tip of outspread wings
100 feet. The length of the beak is
10 feet, and the height of the body
Mt the center of the breast is 10 feet.
The eagle lies with its head to the
west.

meaning of the great stone mound. 1t

Fort Collins. Colo.-The Farmers
and Farm Women's Congress finished
Its session here, and adopted resolu-
lions calling upon the government to
establish in Colorado a branch of the
purchasing bureau of the commissary
department, so that farmers of the
state may dispose of the Increased
crops grown at government request.
The resolution stated that the farm
production of 1917 was 35 per cent
greater than in 1916, and that this was
directly due to the request for greater
crops TO help in winning the war.
The resolutions also demand state
control of the coal lands within Cslo-
RADIO. both to increase the production
here to an equality with the demand
ana that the state may save money
by mining it's own fuel.
Farmers are asked to make efforts
to further increase crops and to hold
their lands for the soldiers until they
return from war.
An appeal is made for the residents
of Colorado to consume more home
grown products and to use those that
will not be required for the soldiers.
The congress also called attention
to the scarcity of farm employees in
the service of the state. The resolu-
ton states that there are 700 persons
employed at the capitol, of whom ITO
come from Colorado Springs and Pu-
eblo. and all the others from Denver.
1t urges that the proper proportion of
places be given farmers, who pay one
third of the taxes to support the state
government.
