we go to press they are swelled to the
amount of $l4, 10000 and there others
that will sign up as they come to town

ways be a day in the history Of Ghey-

membcred for the loyal support of our
citizens in the donations to the Red
Gross and Liberty Bond sales.
The people OF Cheyenne county are
nearly all good loyal citizens and are
not afraid to spend their last dollar to
help Uncle Sam and our brave Soldier
Boys to win tho war az ainst the tyranny
OF the Kaiser and his followers.
We think when the final retuln are
made that Cheyenne county will '.go
over the top'' both in money and her
Soldier boys.
In the evening patriotic speeches
were made by local speakers at the 1.

its utmost capacity, with nothing bat

Everything was furnished free ex-
cept the use Of the hall and collec-

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Mr.. Slotterbadh is resetting
trees where some have died.
Bad weather and training for
the drill has stopped about all of
the interest in baseball.
Mrs. Albert Schultz has pre-
sented the school with the ninth
edition of the Britannica Encyc-
lopedia for which they pre very
grateful.
The school boys went around
town Monday night and hung
the Liberty Bells on door knob to
remino people that they were ex-
pected to buy Liberty Bonds
again.
Mr.. Slotterbach purchased a
Liberty Bond, which makes our
schoo, 100 per cent in buying
bonds. We think this a pretty
good spirit Incorporation on the
part of the school employees.
The district board are going to
wire the manual training room
for a motor. This will be a great
advantage to the work as now
no round work can be done. This
room will be greatly improved
another year. Mr., Akerly has
several new plans that he expects
to adopt.
In order to make the county
spelling contest u success the Co.
commissioners voted the sum of
twelve dollars for prizes. This
relieves the teachers of this ex.
pense although the teachers had
agreed to raise the money if the
commissioners didn't feel they
could grant the money. The con-
test will be held the 9th, day of
April.

OUR FIRST ANNIVER-
SARY OF THE WAR

Last Saturday the people OF the
eastern aud central part of Cheyenne
county began to hock to Cheyenne
Wells, and by noon, one ofthe largest
crowds that mas ever assembled at any
one tiu.e had gathered here in honor
of our first anniversary of entering in
to the war with Germany for Liberty
and Freedom of all the nations of the
worlo.
AT O'Clock the school children ar d
the Re, Gross gathered ut the school
Ii )use and formed into line and march
ell to the Court House where they were
formed into line, after which their line
of march was down the main street to
the corner of the newspaper offices,
from which they marched one block
north and one east, from there they
went one block south, il te .secting
with the main street GA which they re-
turned to the Court House, where they
gave an exhibition OF some very credit
able military drills.
After which the Star Bangled Ban
ner was sung as the Service Flag con-
tanning 10 stars, repres -nting the num-
ber of our young men from this county
who have Joined the army in the. cause
of Democracy, was being unfurled to
the breeze ut the Court House.
Following this u prayer was offered
by Rev. w. L. DeMunbrun, after
which several of our local speakers
made some very good and patriotic
speeches. At the conclusion of the
speeches the articles donated by the
different people we're auctioned off the
proceeds goin. to the Red Cross.

IN the nationality OF the general
as he was in his ability to drive
the enemy across the Rhine.
Decisive action might have
been postponed indefinitely if it
had not been for the German
drive. The movement again
demonstrated the inherent weak
ness of q divided command and
when Perishing. acting on orders
from the president, indicated his
willingness to place the Ameri-
can army at the disposal OF
France. the English authorities
came into lines, and The thing
was done.
From the moment Foch assum-
ed command there has been q
noticeable stiffening of the allied
defense. but the full effect of the
change will not be apparent until
the Frenchman has his new force
thoroughly in hand.
The president has indicated his
satisfaction with the move by or
dering every possible man. and
gun to France. Soon we will
have more than a million men on
the other side.
JAPS IN SIBERIA
When Russia went to pieces a
section of the most influential
newspapers in America urged
that Japan be invited to send an
army into Siberia, and probably
Russia with a view to checking
the triumphant Germans. For u
time the English and french lead
ers seemed agreeable but Presi-
dent Wilson held back.
He saw clearly the complica-
tions which follow such a move.
for one thing, the appearance of
the Japs IN Siberia would almost
inevitably force the Russians in
to an alliance with Germany.
This would be a genuine catastro
phe, because it would give the
Germans a preponderance of
numbers which would make their
overthrow we'll nigh impossible.
Then as President Wilson saw
it. there was moral question in
volved. He contended that. al
though Russia had collapsed, we
could not afford to join in her
dismemb 81 ment. On the con-
trary, it was our duty to help the
distracted nation in every possible
way and to trust to time 10 re-
store the sanity of the Russian
people.
Those who opposed the presi-
dents position contended that
unless restrained by the Japs the
Germans would over run Russia
and Siberia. To support this the
ory, scme of the newspapers
printed alarming stories describ-
ing how German soldiers who
had been imprisoned in Siberia
had secured their freedom and
gained control Of the most imp ort
ant towns.

price paid for the wheat.
Drastic action of this sort was

Washington Letter
By Edward Keating
Congressman from the third Colorado o
district.

Congressman from the third COLORADO
district
President Wilson'S command
ing influence in world affairs has
been strikingly Illustrated on two
occasions during the last ten days
While the British were falling
back before the German drive,
the news came from London that
Foch, the brilliant French strate-
gist, had been placed in supreme
command of the allied armies.
On the heels of this announce
ment. the cable carried the infor-
nation that the japanese premier
had definitely declared that the
forces of the Mikado would not
invade Russian territory.
Both moves we. e made at the
suggestion of President Wilson
and both were carried in the face
of very strong opposition from
powerful statesmen among the
Entente Leaders.
From the moment America en-
tered the war. the president has
urged that the armies of the al.
lies be placed under one man.
Division of authority had led to
serious catastrophes. The Ger
mans and their associates were
fghtirg en- every front according
to plans formulated by one gen.
eral staff. the French. the En-
Riish, the Italians and the Rus
sians we're battling valiantly but
without proper coordination and
cooperation. 1t was apparent to
every unbiased observer that this
arrangement placed the allies at
q tremendous disadvantage. but
it seemed impossible to induce
them to do more than talk about
selecting a generalismo.
ENGLAND OPPOSED
The English were particularly
1'set" in their opposition to any
scheme which would place the
free born sons of Albion under
the command of a man who did
not acknowledge allegiance tc
King George. The French favor
ed the plan but quite naturally
urged That. in view of the fact
that most of the fighting was be-
ing doLe CT, French sell the COM
mand6z should be Frenchman.

mind and lifted the ban against the

had been contemplated
According to the ruling made In

not be sold between February % and

the sale of hens and young poultry
legal from midnight Of April 10.

about An early laying and hAtchins

not to begin rushing their hens to

and thus prevent flooding the market
which will result in heavy sDoilass.
