FORTY-BED HOSPITAL ERECTED
 IN TEN HOURS AND 38 MINUTES

The following statement is au- thorized by the War Department:
 Under the direction of the con struction Division of the Army 4O-6ed hospital ward was recently erected and ready for occupancy in 10 hoars and 3S minutes. The biuld, ing is an addition to the hospital establishment of Ger aral Hospital No. 10, known as the Fix Hills Clearing Hospital, at Staten Is- land, N. Y.
 The building is one-story frame structure, with a conVelescing porch, and has an addition to the ward & diet kitchen, surgical dress ing room, linen room, bath, and ward officers toilets. It is 156 feet iong by 24 feet wide. The porch is 1O14 feet wide and runs the length of one side of the build ing.
 When work was begun at z o. clock in the morning net post hole had been dug and no other pre- parations were made beyond that which is always done before work begins on a building. The four corner posts only had been Set to indicate the extreme dimensions of the building. Considerable of the lumber for use on the building was in progress. Even the foundation posts had to be lined up by instru- ments and sawed to the proper length.
 Promptly at '. o'clock 130 la porers under two foremen began to dig the postholes. This work was finished in eight minutes. During the next hour 434 men, carpenters, plumbers, and electricians, were occupied on the building.

showing the injustice" being done them by the public in not imposing the most implicit faith.
 Most of these mild and we'll arranged protests may very oon- sistently be billed out as camouflsge and the gentle inspiration is to be found in the soft and yielding bos- om of every public service body at this time.
 There is the shadow of possi- bility that Senator Borah is look ing ahead to considerable degree, and declined to indorse one-sided combination that in the n'o distant future may be very material stumDi- ing stones to the period of recon struction.
 The fighting is not going to last as long as some agencies are wont 10 make us believe, and 1t is beyond the bounds of rational prediction to figure that the sound of the last gun will be heard be- for Christmas, and the boys head ed homeward. The war naturally will not be over for a considerable period after hostilities cease, and it is during the reconstructiYe per iod that internecins trouble will develop. Our far-seeing and think ing men have this in mind, and are following the war program to the letter, but maintaining a firm judgment on the wisdom of some things that later will have to be weighed in careful manner.
 If the Democrats can pick any flaws in Senator Borah's sys- tenn for using his brains, or can snap at his heels al every oppor- tunity and get anything out of it, they are quite welcome to the pastime.-EN.

BROADENS REQUEST RELATIVE
 MOVEMENT OF SHIPS

Washington, Aug. 15. - Secre- tary Daniels makes the following request:
 To the press in America: I issued a request to the press in America on July 6, 1918, to eliminate any mention, either in the advertising, or news columns, of the sailing, or departure, or To- cation. or supposed location, of any ship in American waters.
 I am very haopy to say that there has been hearty and complete compliance with this request, and that the cooperation of the press has aided the Navy Department greatly in its work.
 Experience. however, has demon strated the fact that the request should not have been limited to American waters, and that the pub lication of the sailing, departure, location, and movements of ships In foreign waters is also danger ous and should not be made. I am therefore, amending my request by adding "or in other waters" The amended request Is as follows:
 "The appearance of submarines on the Atlantic coast makes it i'm perative that no mention should be made in any newspaper, either in the advertising Or news columns, of the sailing or departure, or To- cation or supposed location, of any ship in American or other wat CTS.
 This information conveyed by advertising is as dangerous as in the news columns, and I am mak- ing this request to all the news papers in the country in the as- surance that they will cooperate with the Government in it's efforts to prevent any information about ships reaching submarines which may he off the Atlantic coast"

 Next to income and excess profits taxes, the backbone of the revenue schedule, liquor taxes, brought in the most money, $4443,SS8,OOO in cluding $S17,553,0OO from whiskey brandy, wine and spirits. and S126,- 2S5,000 from beer and other fer mented liquors. Taxes on cigars, cigarettes and other tobacco pro ducts yielded $156,1SS,OOO. These figures are somewhat higher than those reported soon after the close of the year by Commissioner Roper and are subject to further slight notifications.
 After income, excess profits, liquor and tobacco taxes, the big Eest yield came from transporta- tion and utilities, amounting to $7O,734, 1000, divided as follows:

THEY WANT AN EXCUSE

The senator's attitude in congress is as clear as day, and that is what hurts the erudite Jeff Cersouians.

Thus labor was partially modified, while the owners, operat- ors and stockholders were permitted to breathe freely in the earning ot regular dividends, while duck ing the responsibility of operation.

 As a matter of fact it is a pretty definite proposition that this control business inspired more by the corporations than any other agency.

(By The Prowers County Council of Defense)

THE fitness Of the contestant il
war, as in athletics, is the keynote Of
success, and that must be the result
of intensive training on the fuel sup
piled in quantity and quality, in short
on FOOD.
THE American population at home
depleted in numbers by the millions
abroad now and the millions yet to
go, has but these objectives-to work
harder and save more, to eat of those
foods not suitable to send, that those
who are offering the supreme sacri-
flee may be sustained to victory.
1.-THE American people are patriotic
and responsive; they are willing to ac-
|cept privations and to act under in
telligent direction, and in proportion
as they are advised, so will the re-
sponse be.
Tell us what you want and we will
do it, is the universal answer to the
food administration.
1.-THE basic principle of the U. S.
food administration, the complete ac-
ceptance Of which spells SUCCESS
is the voluntary conservation at home
of all foods which are needed abroad.
1.-THE function of the U. S. food ad-
ministration is to obtain exact figures
on the quantity production of all foods,
to select those best suited for over
seas transportation and use, and to
insure delivery Of these in quantity
sufficient for our own troops and to
supply the armies and civilian popula-
ton Of our allies.
with the American nation at home
and abroad working forward in unison
of effort there can be but one outcome,
one result-the preservation to sue
ceeding generations of that form of
government which will insure the
greatest peace, prosperity and plenty
for all the people of the world; the
rule of the majority, governing by the
express consent of the governed.

HERE'S YOUR CHANCE
Men to be Drafted for Navy Under
Seleetive Service Law.

by Lieut.. Commander W. p. Drawn,
U. S. Navy.)
Owing to the large interest display
ed in the navy by the people of the
Rocky Mountain region and the many
inquiries received daily concerning the
proper method of procedure to enter
the navy at the present time, full
explanation of the operation of the
seleetive service laws with regard to
admittanee into the naval service is
given below for the benefit of regis
trants, who may desire to serve in
this branch.
A total of $4,000 men each month
will be selected and drafted into the
navy throughout the country. OF
this number $500 will be permitted
to enter the navy at their own request
each month, provided they are found
to have the requisite qualifications.
The remaining $500 men will be Sc
cured in the regular monthly draft
calls.
Those men who request voluntary
induction and are accepted, will OBJ
tain an advantage over those taken in
voluntarily in the run of the draft, as
they will be sent to training immediate
ly upon the approval of their Undue
ton request by the navy department
and the provost marshal general. From
the $500 men who volunteer each
month, the navy will select a large
proportion of its officer material and
its noncommissioned officers for spec
ial mechanical and trade branches.
The request for voluntary induction
must be made in person at the navy
sub mobilization station, corner 18th
and Curtis streets. Denver, this being
the only point in Colorado and Wyom-
ing where individual induction may be
requested. All men who are accept
ed by the mobilization officers for vol
untary induction, will enter the naval
service as apprentice seamen and will
be sent to training at either 4 general
naval training station or a special
training school. AS each man is ac-
cepted by the navy mobilization officer
his request for induction will carry
q recommendation by this officer as
