Small Per Cent Go
Into Regular Army

Capt. James Grafton Rogers of DEN
yer whom, it will be remembered. mar
ried Miss Cora Peabody of this city,
was a visitor here for short time a
few days ago. Capt. Rogers, who
was instructor in one of the depart
ments at Camp Zachary Taylor, Lou
isville. Ky, until mustered out of the
army about the middle of January,
says that only about per cent Of the
officers of the military forces at Camp
Taylor applied for commissions in the
regular army when given an opportu.
nifty to do SO. after the signing OF the
armistice on November II. Later
however. he asserted. there was a re.
versal of opinion in relation to the
matter, and nearly 20 per cent, or one
fifth of al Those holding commissions
filed their applications with the War
Department for a permanent job in
the army.

Hun Gunner
Shot the Eats"
of Canon Boy

Private Peter Kimmick of Company
who was wounded in the left kidney
in the Argonne forest fighting, arrived
home Sunday from Camp Sherman,
where he had been honorably dis
charged from the service He is Wis.
iting his parents. Mr. and Mrs. John
Kimmick.
Kimmick, who was a regular army
man, having enlisted in Pennsylvani..
at the outbreak of the war, was In the
trenches four months and after being
wounded he was in American hospitals
both in France and In this country,
two and half months.
Kimmick saw fighting both on the
st. Mihiel sector and In the Argonne
forest. At different times on the St
Mihiel sector he had gone long periods
without food. one time having been
five days without eating. After sew
eral experiences of this kind he de.
cided that the next time he went over
the top he would be well provided with
food, so when the order came he
packed up three cans of salmon and a
loaf of bread and strapped IT across his
back. He was determined to be well
fel, come what might
The boys had not gone very far
over the top before the barrage lifted
and they found themselves facing Ger
man machine gun fire. They dropped
ON their stomach OF course and
crawled forward slowly. Kimmick
heard the ping, ping. ping of machine
gun bullets and felt their thud across
his back. This continued for some
little time. when suddenly he received
a rain of bread crumbs and minced
salmon over his head and shoulders
When the machine guns had been ST.
fenced and Kimmick had a chance to
feel himself to ascertain the damage,
he found that his three cans of salmon
and the loaf OF bread had been shot
to smithereens. so his ample provision
ing had gone for naught, and Ne had to
go three days without thing to eat.
About rs machine bullets had landed
In his bread basket. all In the space Of
a few seconds.
He got through that engagement un-
scathed, but WAS later badly wounded
by shrnpne!, which caught him while
going over the top. The Eleventh In

tending to convert the snowfall OF the

Y" Campaign
Workers Report

AT special meeting of the board OF
directors of the Y. M. C. A. and the
various captains, lieuterants and team
workers Friday night, final reports
were made on the recent Y. NJ. C.. A.
financial campaign in Canon City and
the surrounding territory. These re-
ports showed that total of S3,564
had been secured in pledges and cash
during the drive. In addition, how
ever. it was pointed out that several
hundred dollars was expected from
prospects, that h..i not been heard
from. most of them either temporarily
out of town or are nonresident friends
of the institution. 1t is believed that
when the contributions are all in the
aggregate amount of money secured in
the drive will not much. if any, fall
short of $4,000. Last year the total
sum secured in the maintenance cam
paign was a little in excess of So, 800.
OF this total a few hundred dollars
have not yet been paid in, but will be
forthcoming in due time and can be
applied to any deficit that may occur
in the 1919 expense account.
SCltdi unCAPSttCo dh oi aitCu
criticism of the Y. NJ. C. A. work
made the local campaign here one of
extreme difficulty. and the success
that was attained in spite of this hand
leap is more than creditable to those
in charge. Although the local insti.
tuition has been splendidly managed
and has accomplished greater work
at a minimum outlay of cash during
the last year than ever before. it had
to bear in the recent campaign bur.
den of censure that was wholly un'
justifiable. The local Y. NJ. C. A. has
been innocent of any wrongdoing, and
it is unfortunate that it should have
been he'd responsible for matter in
which it was in no wise to blame. I'm
der the circumstances r. J. Craig and
his coworkers in the campaign are to
be congratulated on having attained
as large measure of success as they
did. The great number of subscrib
ers to the fund proves that there is
still in Canon City and its surround
ings many loval, whole-hearted sup
porters of the Y. NJ. c. A. and its en-
terprises.

1ovial with all he came in contact.
and II is with sorrow that we. and all
