Intervention In Germany.
fBy Frank J. Taylor, United Press
Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, Dec 24.-(night) Allied
occupation of northern Germany to re-
store order was generally discussed
today.
Most of the civilians and soldiers
with whom the United Press cores
pondent talked, openly favored such
move. They said they would welcome
American and British troops, but not
the French.
Government officials frankly ac-
doubt of their ability to
control the situation. Admission OF ra-
ideals into the cabinet is generally
considered as forecaSting Spartacusian
control. 1t is believed generally, that
overthrow of the Ebert-Scheidemann
is a momentary possibility.
Let American and English troops
come to Berlin declared one of the
soilor guards. 1--WE await them and
will welcome them, but we don't want
any Frenchmen. There is no peace
anymore. 1t is impossible to make con-
ditions worse, and they cannot be
made better until the English and
Americans come.
eve havn't any confidence in our
leaders We do not want disorder. We
should have a peace dictatorship un-
til things are organized, but we have
70 men strong enough for the Job. All
are like Schiedemann. They talk, but
don't act. We need men of action,
like Won Hindenburg."

ment as representing their own senti-
ments. Several of them were strap

FEW ESCAPE.

There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the
winter months, and they are for
tunate who have but one and get
through with it quickly and with
out any serious consequences. Take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
observe the directions with each
bottle, and you are likely to be
one of the fortunate ones. The
worth and merit of this remedy has
been fully proven. There are many
families who have always used it
for years when troubled with
cough or cold, and with the very
best results.

Rabbit Raising Pays In utah.

In Utah many boy and girl club
members are going into the rabbit
raising business, finding it most
profitable, according to word re-
ceived by the States Relations Ser
vice, United States Department Of
Agriculture. They have found that
1t costs about rs cents to raise q
rabbit to the age of three months,
and that at that time it may be
marketed at. IS to 40 cents pound.
The pelts bring from Is to IS cents,
depending on the kind of rabbit
and its size Compared with pOul-
try, rabbit raising in Utah has
proved much more economical, as
rabbits are very hardy and require
no expensive food. For example,
one club boy reports that he feeds
only oats, cabbage, and water. In
some places In the state the de-
mand exceeds the supply. Hotels
and restaurants, which serve rab-
bit as often as they do chicken, are
the chief buyers. The Bureau of
Biological Survey and the Bureau
OF Markets are cooperating active
ly in developing interest in the
production and marketing of do
mesticated rabbits and In stan

DEVELOPMENT ERA.

All over the United States a most pronounced
optimism is apparent. Bankers, manufacturers
and business men believe that great era of de-
velopment is just ahead. The banks are in the
best possible condition, and have the money to
turn the wheels Of industry and to transport our
products overseas The laboring people have no
cause for complaint and expect to prosper for
some time to CONF. The farmers are favored
class just now.
With sane and conservative legislation, equit-
able taxation measures and spirit Of encourage
ment and fair dealing toward industry. invest

will abide with us.

DOUBLE coLoRADo's POPULATION.

The Agricultural and Live Stock bureau OF the
Denver Civic & Commercial association is making
plans to undertake systematic and extensive
campaign to bring million more population to
Colorado. 1t is the history Of every that fol-
lowing hostilities there has been an enormous
turning of the population of the conflicting coun-
tries to the land. 1T is believed that this will
prove no exception and already there has COM
menced demand for agricultural lands through
out the west In addition to this, Secretary Lane
Of the department Of the interior pushing plans
to dispose of the remaining public lands, suitable
for agriculture or live stock to the returning sol
diers from the war.
It is planned to unite the Colorado Agricul-
tr1al College Extension service, all of the COM
mercial bodies of the state, county agents and the
State Board Of Immigration together with the
Denver Civic & Commercial Associations Agricul-
tu1al and Live Stock bureau in a great combined
effort, conducted along systematic lines to settle
all the vacant areas in Colorado. The plan will be
financed through the Denver association and the
State Board Of immigration and has every pros
pect of success. Meetings will be held during the
Farmers congress at Fort Collins, the week Of De-
cember9 9, and at the big stock show at Denver dur
ing the week Of january 18.
It's believed that the opportunity is now. 9th
er states are considering similar campaigns and
with the present bright outlook for live stock and
agriculture in this state there is no reason why
many thousands of new settlers cannot be brought
into this state. Denver is enthusiastic over the
proposition, believing that building up the state

THE RED CROSS MUST
AND WILL CARRY ON
It's Work Il Not Finishsd-It Has
Only Begun-So Let Us Al
Helm with Its Work.

With the cessation of hOstilities
and the assurance OF permanent
world peace and democracy. 1t must
be realized that the work OF the
American Red Cross is only begun.
As the soul of the nation organized
for service, recognized by the gov
ernment as q part of itself, its Work
must go on. With miraculous
speed the government transported
overseas an army of more than =,
100000 men, and vast stores OF food.
clothing, munitions and other ne
cessities. These men cannot be re-
turned to this country with the
speed with which they were taken
abroad. Besides, many OF them
must be kept in service there for a
long time to come.
We have also thousands OF WOun-
ded, disabled and cOnvalescent sol
diers; as long as they need nurs-
ing and cheer, the Red Cross must
carry on.
In those allied countries which
have been ravished by Hun hOrdes.
the very machinery of life has been
left shattered and disorganized;
natural resources have been ex-
hausted, homes destroyed and the
fields torn up. Until our last man
is brought home, until the normal
condition of peace is restored, until
the blight which has laid nearly
all Europe waste is removed, the
Red Cross will sustain, heal and
cheer.
The Red Cross is founded upon
the ideal which has been the her.
itage of our nation-the inspiration
of our history-the ideal which our
country entered the war to vindi-
cate. 1t is the greatest mother in
the world, because it is the embOdi-
ment 'Of mercy, and mercy is the
test of brotherhood, just as broth
erhoOd is the test of democracy.
Not for ourselves, but for all hui
manity," was the solemn challenge
that brought us to arms. Now that
America has attained that righte-
GUS peace that shall bring to all
men the right to "life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness, the Red
Cross, as the practical prophet of
that peace, cannot and will not
abandon the human wreckage that
is streWn along the worlds devas
tated highways and byways.
Until a redeemed and rebuilded
world rejoices in the justice, the
righteousness and the lasting peace
of q selfgoverned and self-governing
democracy, there will not be sur
cease of loving ministration by the
Red Cross.
So long as the distressed children
of men have need, it will feed the
hungry. clOthe the naked, care for
the sick, shelter the homeless
The work. of the Red Cross is not

A Bit oE FINANCIAL HISTORY.

The credit of the United States was
so high and unquestionable that in
1900, two years after the Spanish war,
2 per cent bonds were offered at par
and oyersubscribed. This is a financial
performance no other nation has ever
equaled. United States 4 per cent
bonds in 1888 sold as high as $50 and
In 1901 brought 1875 on the stock
market. The United States has never
defaulted on any of its bonds. Not
one of it's b~ondholders has ever lost a
cent of principal or interest except
those who voluntarily have taken
losses by selling their bonds in a period
of temporary price depression, says
Bankers Monthly. One hundred cents
on the dollar, principal and interest,
has the United States always paid.
Back of the $250,OOO, 900, 900 to $780,
900, 100000 of our national resources
stands the rugged honesty of America.
Liberty loan bonds are the safest Sc
curity in the world.
