DEVASTATED FOR GAIN
German Report Shows They Saw

Paris, Feb. 12.-The report prerar-
ed in 1916 by German main head,
quarters to show how Germany would
benefit from the destruction of GER
tain industries in France contained
4S2 pages, according to the state
ment made to the Supreme War Coun-
ell at its meeting Monday afternoon
by Louis Klotz, the French Minister OF
Finance. Material for the report was
collected by 200 experts who were re-
leased from military duties for the
the purpose.
4 full review is made of every
French, industry, including spinning,
dyeing, pottery, chemicals, sugar,
brewing, mining, leather, milling,
clothing and ropemaking. The report
says that all these industries "offer
excellent openings for German traders
in spite Of a somewhat hostile feel
ing"
As the French metal industry in the
occupied regions had been suppress
ed and was without supplies of raw
material which the occupied regions
could not produce, the report says
that it was possible for German
traders ito substitute yourselves IN
this new market"
Regarding the French sugar in
aussry, the report says: Business re-
ations with Germany are sure to con-
sinue because the French sugar in
lustry cannot do without German beet

theE tools fetssses called sympathy
without just cause or complaint, and
in deliberate violation of labor's
/; 2reement with the government. It
is to the credit Of labor that many of
its leaders denounced the Inaugural
ton Of general strike, and have used
their infunee to induce the men to
return to their jobs. In the East the
situation is little less alarming, and
every branch of Industry seems about

As an exchange says, ut is difficult
t. analyze the attitude of labor at
this time, although there are several
contributing factors. Just how far
the influence of Bolshevism has per-
meated its ranks cannot be deter
mined. 1t is certain that there IS
carefully prepared Red campaign, IN
some places bold and defiant, IN
others skillfully disguised, afc,t, a

Labor owes it to itself to weed
out with a relentless hand and as
quickly as possible those frebrands
who acknowledge no flag except its

cept that of. force, who are making
insidious efforts to influence and final

in that way lie the complete harmony

GLASS ON PROHIBITION
Secretary of the Treasury Sends Let
ter to Congressman Carlin Giving
His Ideas on Prevailing Conditions
Around Treasury Department

Secretary of the Treasury Carter
Glass thinks prohibition is all very
well in its place, but its place, or at
least the place of it's erforcenh ent. is
not located around the Treasury De-
partment
Mr.. Glass ideas on the subje"t of
the enforcement OF the law, which
Congress has made distinct effort
to wish on the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau, are very decided. He voiced
them in no uncertain terms, yester-
day in letter to Representative c..
C. Carlin, of Virginia, chairman o.
the subcommittee Of the House Judi
ciary Committee, which is dealing
with war time prohibition.
Mr.. Glass fears that if his Iaternas
Revenue Bureau has to watch out to
see that the drinking population does
not get its regular amount of alcohol,
it will interfere seriously with its
collection of the various taxes and
sur-taxes which Congress has placed
on the public. Mr.. Glass says:
"While you have not asked my
opinion as to the advisability of lodg-
ing prohibition enforcement in this
department. l wish to express, as
strongly as I may, the hope that the
committee viii not place this respon-
sibility upon the Bureau of Internal
Revenue.
This bureau is now, as you know,
burdened to the uttermost with the
administration of a very compre-
hensive and technical tax law, which
will engage its very facility to adj
minister adequately and equitably.
THE enforcement OF war prohibit
Jon has no relation whatever 20 the
collection of The revenue, and law
which is exclusively of a police char
,cter would certainly con,plicate, if it
would not endarger. the effectiv: adj

THE UNREST OF LABOR

There is every evidence that the
anarchiStic program of general rnvolt
against law and order which cngen-
dered the strike in England was more
far reaching than appeared on the

INCREASE IN IAXES

AS has long been anticipated, the
finance committee of the City Coun-
Gil has at last been forced to make
4 slight increase in taxes IN the city
of Alexandria. This may not be con-
tinued, however, as the additional rev.
enue. not available at present, IN tau
alton of new enterprises and the
MANY new<houses completed OF being
completed and will have been listed
and proper assessments made Dv this
time next year.
It has long been apparent that
this course would be inevitable when
the new tax bill for the year begin
ming June /, 1919, and ending May 81,
1920, was prepared and this TO" many
reasons. The city has been called
upon to expend large sums in sa:ltary
measures and the improvement OF
Fairfax. Jefferson and Lee streets in
consequence of the locating OF the
shipbuilding plant in the southeastern
section of the city. Lone-needed I'M
provemcnts in the way Of sewers. etc,
have also been made necessary
When it is considered thai the
wages paid city employees at present
is far in excess of rates prevailing
few years ago, no reasonable cltl-
zen can enter protest against the
action OF Council, and it should be
further remembered thar the gentle
men composing the two boards are
property owners, and that in iEcreas-
ing the burdens of their constituents
they are placing similar obl'%;, lions
upon themselves.
All are forced to spend more Money
now than ever. as prices of every
thing have greatly advanced; the city
is required to meet its Obligations as
are private citizens. ard we should
not object to paying more for @o"ern-
ment than formerly. especially vhen.
as suggested, the increase will oe tenn
porary.
The fight committee has also been
forced by existing ccndtons-in-
crease in the price of coal and labor
to augment the price of gas. II
has been shown by the committee
that it costs Sl.29 TO produce one
thousand feet of this commodity, and
that selling it at 81 per Thousand feet
is a losing proposition, and that ex-
penses were $4,000 in excess If the
receipts during the current year.
Hereafter consumers will be co"'nelled
to pay S1.30 per thousand when the
discount is allowed for prompt pay
ment
In this connection it may be stated
that while the quality and h.,w Of
gas several months ago were unsatis-
factory. better coal is now being
used, and the service is much better.

Sheriff. omie. .. W. Job

Last Monday two young fellows
called at the Mel behring's store in
Parln and attempted to trade some
postage stamps which they had for
groceries. They came on to Gun
nison and tried the same thing at
the E. M. Collins store. Mr.. Collins
told them that he would make the
trade with the Sheriff's consent. In
the meanwhile Mr.. Deering had noti-
fed the Sheriff and asked him to be
on the lookout for the two men.
Under Sheriff Lehan caught them on
the street with the stamps in their
possession. They soon confessed that
they had stolen the stamps of the
Canon City Fruit Growers Asocia-
ton. They also told that they had
stolen the Ford car which they had
from in front of the church in Canon
City. They would have taken Max
we'll, they said. but it was locked.
Sheriff Hanlon Immediately in
formed the Canon City sheriff that
the men had been caught in Gunni-
son. The Canon City office was en-
tirely ignorant Of the crime. w. H.
Newcomb came over and took the
men back with him on Tuesday.
Much credit is due the Sheriff's office
here for their alertness.

UNKNOWN MAN DIES
OF HEART FAILURE

About two o'clock Monday morning
some of the men in the bunk house
at Herman Eilebrecht's ranch were
awakened by the unusually loud
breathing of one Of their companions.
They got up Immediately, went to
him, raised him up in his bed but
could not seem to help him. They
went to the house and told Mr.. Ellie
brecht that they could not waken
one of the men in the bunk house.
He went out but found the man dead.
DIR. Hyatt and Coroner Walker were
called at once. DIR. Walker pronounced
the cause of death as chonic heart
trouble.
BY means of pack of letters the
man was found to be John Bessel
His mother, Rebecca Bessel. lives in
LeSueur, MINI. The body was sent
there for burial
Mr.. Bessel came to Eilebrechts
ranch to work Saturday morning, but
he did not tell where he was from.
In his grip check book on the Do
lores State Bank was found. and sew
eral of his letters had been addressed
to Dove Creek, which is in Dolores
County. He had no money in the
bank there. His age was judged as
% wears.

From all departed years;

And recollect the song
What think you: would you be as

As helpful, or as strong!
If you could lay the burden down
That bows your head at whites,
Shun everything that wears a frown,
And live a life of smiles
Be happy as child again,
As free from thoughts Of care
Would you appear to other men
More noble or more fair?
