Kaiser's s Lusitania
Medal on Display

One of the original iron medals
which ex-Kaiser Bill gave out in ce e.
bration of the sinking of the Lusitania
is treasured trophy of the war
which Chief Commissary Steward
Frank Fowler. U. S. N, carries in his
collection
The medal is of iron and is about
the size of a ginger snap. On one
side it shows the skeleton of death
selling tickets to prospective voyagers
on the Lusitania and on the other side
it shows the sinking of the big ship
by the German submarine. with this
fact in wording and with the date,
May Is. 1915.
These medals, it is now definitely
known, were struck off at the order
of the Kaiser several days previous to
the sinking of the Lusitania and were
spread broadcast throughout Ger
many as a memento from the ex-
Kaiser on the great success of his u
boat warfare The appearance of
these medals was proof conclusive to
the Allies that the Lusitania sinking
had been deliberately planned. despite
the denials of Wilhelm and his war
lords.
Chief Steward Fowler got the medal
from a friend in England who had
gotten 1t almost first hand. SO that
there isn't much doubt but what 1t
was one of those Bill Hohenzollern
gave out.

last resort and made great strides
toward advancement In the year that
he was In the service He advanced

1880 tors Of -four.
While passing through me Panama
canal Mr.. Fowler said he never saw
SO many duck and quail In his life. He
said they made the air black and the
sight. he is sure. would have given
supreme JOY to the heart OF any Canon
City hunier..
| Mr.. Fowler was relieved from duty
in New York city and was sert to
Mare Island for discharge. He
wears the gold cheyron hts 'ert arm
indicating bis overseas service, and
also the ribbon insignia which tells

Delivered Lecture
Sunday Night

Few men in Canon City were buster
on Sunday than REV. Tom Huxley,
who made three public addresses dur
ing the day. He preached at The
First Baptist church at 10:3O in the
morning; spoke at the Y. M. c. A. at
3 O'Clock in the afternoon on the ac-
tivities of the "Y' among the sol
dier boys in France. and delivered a
lecture, "On the Trail of tine Hum" at
the Baptist church in the evening. A
large crowd was present to hear him
in every instance, and was delighted
with his discourse.
The Baptist church was crowded to
its capacity at 1880 o'clock in the eve
ming to listen to his lecture, which
was one of the most notable that has
been presented in Canon City in re-
lation to the great war. Rev Hux,
ley has marvellous grasp and under
standing of his subject and that fact.
coupled with his eloQuence, makes
him more than ordinarily Interesting
speaker. 1t is. matter of regret that
we are unable to lay resume of his
lecture before the readers, but space
and time precludes an attempt to
do SO.
Rev. Huxley addressed the Prog
ress Club and their friends at the Bap-
tist church last night at 1880 o'clock.
The club invites the public to share
with them the delights of the occasion.
Some special musical features were
given. Rev. HUXLEY will exhibit the
curios he picked up on the battlefields
Of Europe.
Rev. Huxley spoke to the stu
dents of the South Canon high school
Tuesday morning and will lead the
prayer service at the Baptist church

Who beat? Why. we did.
And now I'll tell you why.
First. because our teams q good one.
And because they'll all play fair.
Because they knew it could be done.
Through alacrity and on the square.
Then. because we stand together.
For victory and right:
Yes, in every kind OF weather,
Day time. or at night.
Last. because it's Canon.
The school that stands as one:
And there wasn't "bit of sense in
fannin'."
When victory could be won.
