ALL IN "kULTUR's" NAME

1gnace j. Paderewski, leader of
the Polish National movement in this
country, has just issued a statement
which is so distressing that nothing
but the eminence and authority of his
name could give it credence. Mr.. Pad
Grewski states that the number of
Poles who have perished from starva.
ton, disease and exposure, since the
beginning of the war, surpasses the
total losses in killed of all the bel
ligerent armies combined Half a
million Polish women have had their
lives shattered by the greatest trag-
edy that could come to them. Thirty
thousand young men have been hang
ed for refusing to enlist in the Ger
man-Austrian armies. There are no
, children under seven years of age in
Poland. Newborn children die al
most Immediately, for their mothers
have nothing to give them but tears.
Furthermore, Mr.. Paderewski adds
that it is Germany's obvious aim to
eXterminate the Polish people. A de-
populated country is more easily col
onized Tin this case Germanized) than
a land inhabited by an undaunted
people, says he.
The cities of Poland are bankrupt
and cannot even support asylums.
Twenty-Five thousand villages have
been wiped out. Two hundred towns
have been razed to the ground. Six
teen hundred churches are in ruins
Nine billion dollars worth of proper
ty has been destroyed. Eleven mill
ion people are dependent upon char
ity.
Here we get glimpse of the hor-
ror of war. Comment is superfluous.

SCHOOL NOTES
(Luella Richards)

Monday morning Mr.. Lake was at
school to urge more extensive pur-
chasing of Thrift and War Savings
stamps. When the War Savings as
sociation was organized in the school
the scholars bought stamps very Gag
tagging. The government is much
in need of money that could be gain
cd thru the sale of these stamps in
the schools. To arouse new inter-
est Mr.. Lake has started contest
and at the close two prizes will be
offered-one group of eight Thrift
stamps, the other War Saving
stamp. The contest is to continue
from March 25 to June 7, and in
cludes the schools of Central City,
Black Hawk, Russell Gulch and Bald
Mountain. At the close of school in
June, the person having the greatest
number of Thrift stamps in each So
ciety will receive eight Thrift stamps
and the pupil from the four schools
taken together having the greatest
number of w. S. S. will receive as
a reward w. s. S. Every stamp
pupil buys or sells counts to his
credit, SO boost and buy when you
are asked.
Monday morning Mrs. Carroll left
for California in order that she may
be at the bedside Of brother who
is In a dying condition. Her work
has been divided and Mrs. Gill, Miss
Landon and Mr.. Wolfe are each do
ing their share. Spring vacation

ed one week and will be from March
30 to April 8. We will also have va

WOMEN WILL HELP IN
SELLING LIBERTY BONDS

The Women's Branch of the Liber-
ty loan drive that will begin April
9Th is being formed in every county
in the state, and their duties will
consist in selling bonds to every
woman who can afford to buy. There
are many women in Colorado who
have spare money and they should do
their bit by purchasing Liberty
bonds.
The women of France are plough
ing the fields that their soldiers may
be fed, and the women of England
from the highest to the humblest are
working in munition factories to make
guns and shells for their soldiers,
and will not the women of America
perform their easier task by lending
their money to Uncle Sam, that their
home and property may be protected
from the ravenous horde of the
Huns?

RED CROSS NOTES

A cry from devastated Belgium
and Northern France-a cry uttered
by the thousands of almost naked
war victims who are shivering in
horror and cold beneath the very
guns that laid waste their homes and
villages-was heard above the din of
battle by the Red Cross, whose ear
is attuned to the voice of distress. AS
result the Red Cross has undertake
en- to collect thruout the nation suf-
ficient discarded clothing to care for
the immediate needs of the war. strip
ped people.
Because of the huge demands made
upon it otherwise the Red Cross has
never heretofore undertaken the col
lection of used clothing or its distri-
button. In this instance, however, the
appeal was so urgent that, upon re-
quest from Herbert Hoover, chair
man of the Belgian Relief commiss-
ion, the Red, Cross War Council
agreed to the use of the organization
for the collection of the needed
things.
Our community has responded in it's
usual generous way and we have box
ed and shipped 120 garments, all
strong and durable.
Our monthly shipment to division
headquarters went out this week, al
so. 1t consisted of so knitted ar
ticles, including 50 sweaters; 80 hos
pital garments; 100 pieces of gauze,
and l9S muslin bandages; in all, 146s
articles.
Such results as these are possible
only through the splendid spirit and
cooperation of our workers.

The time has come for the women
OF Gilpin county to realize that this

ure.
The Women's Council is the offic-
ial medium thru which the govern
ment tells us what we can do and
what we must do to help win, and
the first Friday evening in each
month should be set apart by every
loyal, able bodied woman within
reach of the court house as time to
be given to the serious consideration
of patriotic duties. We must all do
Red Cross work but we are warned
that this is not all that is required
OF our women. We must help with
the coming Liberty loan. with War
Savings stamps, with food conserva-
ton, food production, registration for
service, child welfare work, etc, and
our government requests that we do
these things in this prescribed. or
ganized way. There will be reports
