CANON C|7Y'S
CHANCES GOOD
FOR SECURING
U. S. HOSPITAL

One OF the few pending measures
before the recent Congress to escape
the fiiibuster was the military recup-
Grafton hospital bill. which passed
both houses the first OF the week and
was signed by the President before
his departure for Europe. 1t carries
an appropriation of $1,S0O.0e0.
Information that the bill had be-
come law was contained in a teIe-
gram received in Denver ON Tuesday
by Carl Hinton, secretary of the Col
orado Development Federation in
Washington. A copy of Mr.. Hinton 8
message was transmitted to the Canon
City Chamber of Commerce Wednes-
day. and states that Surgeon Gen.
Blue will shortly send an officer to
sites for the institutions. Mr.. Hin
ton says: There is excellent reason
for the belief that the enactment Of
this bill will result in the establish
ment of the contemplated hospital in
Colorado The cooperation of the
federation in the matter Is solely re-
spoEsible for the victory"
Assurance has been given that
Canon City will be One of the places
visited by the representative to be
sent to this state by Surgeon Gen.
Blue, and its advantages as site for
the proposed hospital will be given
due consideration. Half a dozen towns
in the state are aspirants for the To-
cation of the hospital. but 1t is now
thought that the principal competition
will be between Colorado Springs and
Canon City. The Chamber of Com
merce here is busy on the matter. and
have two or three sites in view to Of
fer the government when the proper
time comes. 1t is believed that this
city's chances are very good for Sc
curing the institution. Certainly no
better place could be found in the
state SO far as climate. general health
fuiness, attractiveness Of SURROUNDINGS
and accessibility are concerned
The hospital. IL established here.
will be a general recuperation hospi-
tai for the benefit of wounded soldiers
and officers. sailors. marines and male
and female nurses who may have suf
fered wouEds or have had their health
impaired while in the service. They
will be given vocational training
whereby they may be fitted to sup
port themselves and their dependen-
cies. ~
"Action on the hospital should be
taken within the next month ard con
struction should begin very shortly
asserts Mr.. Hinton

Red Cross Notes
(By Marion Bowen.)

This is the third time haye asked
you. through this column, to come for
ward ard claim service badges. and
it is positively the "last call" The
committee on awards is about ready
TO pass on all such claims. SO please
figure up the hours you have spent in
Red Cross work since April, 1917, and
hand in a written. itemized statement.
You understand, of course, that
time put in the United War work cam
paign, and other similar campaigns,
does rot count for Red Cross work.
as the Red Cross has never been in
cluded in these other drives. We
have had just two drives. Let me re-
mind you not to forget the auction
lots of people put in many full days
then.
The first badge is for 800 full hours.
the second for 1000 hours, and the
third for 5000 hours. 1t is very i'm
probable that any one in this territory
can claim the last. The Red Cross
is most anxious to reward her faithful
workers in this way. and this badge
is mark of honor just as much as
Croix de Guerra, and will be as
highly valued
Saturday, March Is, is the day the
badges will be ordered, so we will be
very glad if you will have your claim
in the hands of the committee long
enough in advance of that date for
them to consider it carefully.
1t is most disheartening to watch
the interest in Red Cross work stead
lily fall of. Just because our boys are
no longer in danger is no sign that
thousands of families in the devas-
tated countries are not in real danger
Of starving or freezing. Do you know
that II is showing in mary parts of
Europe most of the time? Do you
know that hundreds and thousands of
-.fatferless children" are barefooted?
We shall soon begin knitting again
simple articles for these children espe
ciaIIy But in the meantime, and in
fact. up until June, Red Cross sewing
must go on.
We have tremendous order to fin

lyman CRITICISED
IN THE SENATE;
ANSWERS CRITICS

Denver. March 6.-when the Col
gate bill for s25.000 deficiency appro.
priation for the penitentiary came up
in the Senate Wednesday II brought
forth much criticism of the use OF
itentiary and against Warden Tynan
and the members of the Colorado
Board OF Corrections.
The bill. however. passed on second
reading though protracted argumenr
kept the Senate in session long after
the recess period at noon. The en-
acting clause OF the blu. although inn
properly announced by the presiding
officers, was stricken. thereby saving
its life.

institutions must understand that the
egislature will no longer consent to
their Improper expenditures" de-
clared Senator Siewers Finchers. III

tons and criticisms OF the senators
were iII-adviscd to say the least He
said that no more money was spent at
the penitantiary for Its proper con-
duct than was absolutely necessary.

AN IMPROVEMENT NOTED
IN EXPRESS SERVICE

The better service campaign" OF
the American Railway Express Com
pany, which was inaugurated about
the middle of February. is already
showing gratifying results, both for
the company and the public at large.
The movement for an Improvement
In the service is nationwide in its
scope and patrons of the company. as
well as its agents, representatives and
employees, are cooperating in an ef-
fort for its betterment. A special en-
deavor is being made to secure more
careful wrapping and boxing OF ex-
press shipments and TO encourage a
palmer address upon them OF the
names of consignees and destination.
In this part OF the undertaking the
public is urged to assist as far as pos
sible.
A marked advance toward the de-
sired goal has been noted in the ap-
pearance and condition OF express
shipments during the last three weeks
and agents of the company are conf
dent that there will be a decided re-
duction in the number OF shipments
turned over to the mo mark bureau
in consequence. II is to the adyant-
age OF both the company and its pa
irons that express shipments be han
died as safely and expeditiously as
possible, and this can only be accom-
plished by their cooperation for bet
ter service.
All employees of the express com
pany have been instructed. not only
to see that the packing and marking
rules are carried out, but have been
requested to give such assistance as
they can in bringing the methods OF
the company in preparing consign-
ments up to the necessary standards
to insure their safe transportation.

STRANGE HAPPEN
INGS AT DEXTER

Dexter, Me-, July 25.-An investigator
for the Maine Central Railroad was in
this town Wednesday, July q, and made
an investigation into what appears TO
have been two deliberate attempts to
wreck passenger trains on the local
branch by the placing Of section mems
"jiggers'' on the rails. The engine of
the morning passenger train from Fox
croft to Newport Junction July %.
struck one Of these distractions and
demolished it while it is understood that
another one was discovered on the
tracks near Moody's Mills a short time
ago. Just what the railroad detective
discovered during his visit here is not
known and the affair. as far as the pub
lie is concerned. still remains a mys-
terry. 1t is expected, however, that the
investigation will be continued and
if the guilty party is discovered he Will
be brought to justice.
Some of the residents Of the town
who are acquainted with circumstances
surrounding some of the recent happen
ings in this vicinity are inclined to be-
lieve that some demented individual or
perhaps some person in the criminally
insane class Is making headquarters in
Dexter or nearly at the present time.
One farmer living near the Owlsborough
neighhorhood where the alleged high
way robbery occurred last Saturday
evening claims that some person is milk
ing his cows in the rasture. 1t is under
stood that other things have occurred
recently that substantiate the theory
that some person with degenerate
mind or criminal intent Is operating
around Dexter.
The breaking into the tomb at Mount
Pleasant cemetery last winter has never
been satisfactorily explained and it ;s
known that Sheriff Fernandez believes
that this outrage was the work Of some
degenerate or demented person and not
the work Of boys as was suspected at
one time.

case Of patents we distributed licenses
for their use by Germans in five cases
but we never declared American pa
tents null or expired.
american patents and trademarks
might be limited in Germany by an act
Of January 3. 1918, if it lay in the pub
lie interest and German could have.
under certain circumstances a license
to use an American patent. This order
was issued because America. long be-
fore had passed a similar law and
operated it in general. Germany was
particularly hesitating in all these
questions notwithstanding America
passed a pretentious law of this kind.
because Germany hoped to be able soon
to resume friendly business relations
with the United States
The ministry Of justice quoted A.
Mitchell Palmer, formerly alien prop
erty custodian Of America, as having
declared in his report to the United
States Senate in February last that
Germany had done the same as America
in. liquidating alien property but had
always been a little ahead of America
in doing so.
1T is false to say that Germany pre-
ceeded America ami correct to say that
Germany only used retaliation" said
the minister.
