pueblo Chieftain.)

Sherman S. Bellesfield is postmas-
ter at Pueblo for "life." A law passed
by congress put postmasters under
civil service. This did not affect the
old postmasters already in service un-
less they passed satisfactory civil
service examination, were inspected by
government inspectors and reported
upon favorably and afterward reap
pointed by the President and the ap-
pointment confirmed by the senate.
All requirements as to efficiency
have been met by Postmaster Bellies
field whose re-appointment by the
President was announced from Wash
ington recently.
Postmaster Bellesfeld has passed
the required civil service examination
and government inspectors have made
thoro examination of the office here
and have reported favorably upon it.
1t is almost an assured fact that the
appointment will be confirmed by the
senate.
Under the civil service rules Post
master Bellesfeld can only be re
moved for cause and his position is
not subject to political control.

TO URGE LAND CULTIVATION
Curtis Bill In Congress Provides for
Rural Colonization.

The question of creating board of
administration to develop practical
standards for rural colonies and take
steps to get as much land as possible
in the hands of persons who will cult
vate it after the war, will be consid-
cred by Congress at this session. A
subcommittee of the Senate Agricul-
tural committee has arranged for
hearings on the Curtis bill, which pro-
vides for colonization survey and
establishment of colonies for depend
ent families of soldiers and others.
Those favoring the plan refer to
conditions in Denmark resulting from
steps taken after the war with Ger
many and in northern France after
the revolution. The land was placed
with those who would cultivate it and
they became great producing centers.

Denver Bricklayers, Stonemasons

not approve the daily attacks made
upon Mayor Speer by the Denver Post.
This union believes that the mayor is
entitled to commendation for many
things, among them his upbuilding
policy, whereby much employment is
given to Denver citizens, particularly
in the building crafts.
Following is a letter sent to the
ton taken by the union at regular
mayor this week, expressing the ac-
meeting:

is. If it depended upon an election he
would win easily over any other man

that postmaster is to be a democrat,

ALIEN GERMANS
MUST REGISTER
POLICE TO HAVE CHARGE
OF WORK HERE.
Order Becomes Effective February A.,
and There Are No Exemptions; No
German Can Become Citizen
While War Lasts.

An order issued by the United States
department of justice compels all male
Germans living in the United States
to register. This order applies to all
Germans IA years of age and over.
There are no exemptions for any
cause.
The fact that any German has
taken out first papers for citizenship
does not release him from coming un-
der the order. No German can become
citizen of the United States during
the war.
1t is expected this registration will
disclose thousands of Germans who
have been exercising the privileges of
American citizenship illegally, some of
them holding political office.
In Denver and in all cities having
a population of 5000 or more the reg
istration will be made by the police
department, under supervision of the
United States marshal, and in smaller
cities, towns and country districts by
postmasters.
1t is important that Germans reg
lister promptly and correctly, as a Sc
we're penalty attaches to those who dis
regard the order of the government.
