our summers lie buried. You know
summer is gone, not just because the

of the approach of the storm king

Japan May Lose Sunday School
Meeting.

Protests are being made against
holding the Worlds Sunday School
Convention in Tokyo in October, 1920,
because Tokyo is the capital of a
nation "the hands of whose servants
are red with the blood of Christian
Martyrs" The protests are being con
;idcrrd by the executive office of the
Worlds Sunday School Association.
but there is a feeling that Il change
would be detrimental to mission work
IN Japan.

Robbers at Granada and Holly.

On last Saturday night as bold a
series of robberies as ever took place
in this section occurred at Granada and
Holly, and while the loot was not
large it was because the victims had
owing to lack of police protection sent
the bulk of their money to the bank.
The office of the MeCue Mere. Co. at
Granada was ransacked and the safe
taken into the alley and battered until
the door was broken open. 1t only
contained s35 in cash and this and
some other loot about the place was
carried off. The safe in the elevator
was also broken open but nothing OBJ
tanned. The robbers went on TO Holly
and broke open the safe in the office
of the elevator there but with no bet
ter results. Sheriff Downing being
advised got on the track at once and
traced two negroes. who had been seen
at Granada during the afternoon. to
Syracuse. where part of the loot was
found. The robbers, however. had dis
appeared and no further trace of them
has been obtained since.

Snow Storms

In the past two weeks Lamar has
been just ON the outskirts of two very
severe blizzards and it looks as if our
old time good fortune was returning.
The big blizzard of last week, which
swept through New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Texas, Kansas and Nebraska, missed
US only about one hundred miles yet
ii hardly affected the weather here at
all. Yesterday and last night another
big blizzard swept the plains west of
us, only missing us by about fifty
miles and with the exception of few
hours of light snow which quickly dis
appeared nothing at all happened in
the Lamar territory. The storm
through Kansas was the worst in
years. stopping railroad traffic for
several days and causing great suffer-
ing and privations all over its course.

Special Election.

The school board of District No. IA
have called special election for March
2l to vote on the proposition of issu-
ing $4,000 bonds of the district for
the purpose of building the south wing
ON the high school building and putting
up a separate building to use as a
gymnasium. The board met on last
Tuesday evening with the architect,
Geo. w. Roe of Pueblo, and went over
the plans and made such changes as
were deemed needed. The plans will
be on exhibit where all voters on the
question can inspect them. The board
believes the enlargement of the high
school is necessary and will invite all
taxpayers to investigate conditions for
themselves. Only taxpayers who have
paid taxes in the district the past year
can vote on the proposition.

GETTING THAT BONUS.
Risk Involved In Sending Soldiers
Papers TO Washington.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir. The
editorial article In THE Sun entitled
Getting That Sixty Dollar Bonus is
appreciated I am sure, by the boys. The
difflculty. however. is with the provision
requiring the sending OF discharge papers
to Washington.
In addition to the possibility OF these
papers being lost in Washington there
Is the further possibility-or should say
probability their being lost in the
mails. As an illustration: l sent reg
lstered letter with return receipt re-
CURED TO Albany on February &c. The
receipt OF this letter was duly acknowl-
edged by the recipient. Inquiry at the
Wall street sub-station as to why the
return receipt had not come back ELECTED
the calm assurance, Don't worry, II
will turn up in week or two"
The original papers showing the man e
DISCHARGE are on file in Washington. as
is evidenced by the fact that in very,
very short time after his discharge any
dependent TO whom he may have made
an allotment receives Form 932 from
the Government, stating that the allot-
ment will cease. II the Government can
be so sure OF cutting off allotments 10
dependents upon the strength of orig
inal papers in Washington, why should
the boys run the risk of the loss of their
discharge papers through either careless
and inefficient handling IN Washington
or through our wholly inefficient post

ders, costly mistakes and futile ex.
perlments in Its airplane endeavor
But after time we began to produce
airplanes as good as any other ma.
ton could turn out, with pilots and
observers second to those Of no other
country. To do this cost us hun.
dreds of millions of dollars. which
nobody begrudges, and scores of prom
Using lives, which all regret.
As the armlstice was signed the
United States was prepared to take
and hold its proper place rs the lead
ing nation in airrlane production and
in the military use of nirplanes A
sane and intelligent public policy
would keep 1t in that leadership, war
or no war.
Has the Administration adopted
such policy? Has it sought to en-
courage experiment, to encourage i'm
provement, to encourage national en-
terprise in airships?
1t has not.
Instead, as the facts and figures
disclosed by Senator NEw of Indiana
in THE Sun yesterday show, the Ad-
ministration has set out to wreck the
costly structure of production built
up during the war. to scrap the ma
terlal on hand, TO dlsband the or
ganlzation of experts laborlously gath
cred together, and to discourage con-
tinued efforts in n field of incalcula-
BILE Importance to America as a ma
ton and 70 Americans as individuals.
The Administration is abandoning all
that has been gained. and unless It's
purpose can be frustrated it will re
duce us to the humiliatlng situation
we were in before the war.
This folly can be avoided. The
United States can be kept where it
belongs in aeronautics. Americas
achievements in the air can be util-
lied as the foundation for greater
successes in the future. And these
things can be done Immediately by the
calling of Congress in special session,
50 that the representatives of the
people can adopt and put in
force a military and naval acronauti-
cal policy which shall protect the ma
ton and promote its interests in
great industry of the future.

we owe an unredeemable debt and the
citizens OF New York who have Ions
been waiting for the time when their
own boys would come back with glorious
victory.
1t would be hitting and proper to make
this a legal holiday. or should this be
impractlcable, the business houses and
employers of this city should evince
their civic pride and gratitude for the
sacrifices of the men who fought for
them by cooperating to make this a gala

FROM AN EX-SOLDIER.
Natural Laws Limit Americas Power
to Help EurOpe.

To THE EDITOR OF THE srN--Sir; The
League or Natons, az proposed, prompts
me, an eX-soldier, irrepsrsbly injured
but pardonably proud. to speak
1t is in the eternal scheme of things
that tho fittest shall survive, IN nations
az in individuals. or common knowl-
edge is the analysis that nations and
n en- stand or fall by the law of morality.
Europe, with its history OF selfshly
expedient alliances and mesalliances, and
the resultant righteous and unrighteous
wars, has palpably failed,
WIN a league OF nations help Europe?
Or the world? What must be It's COW
enants? Humby. suggest that they
be such as will reach the hearts and
minds OF all men, OF which nations are
but groups. and reverentiy point to those
simply but infinitely just rules which
were left for the guidance OF mankind,
namely. the Ten Commandments.
But while We would help carry Eu-
rope over the ragged precipice, the sug-
gestion that We be .saddled forever is
well, there's a joker somewhere
