The Policy Of Self Help

1t is pleasing to note that the consumers of Pueblo
have been able to clear up large part OF the savaged
goods Of this city This has been benefit to the con-
who have been able for the most part to obtain
food products and other things at less than their actual
value. 1t has also been benefit to the merchants, be-
they have been able to get cash for their flood
Stocks and have realized from them than they
would have received if they had made forced sales out
side Of the city.
The lesson to be gained from this example of CO.
operation self help that should not be ignored
The important thing for Pueblo at the present
is get back into production and by production
meant here all the normal processes of business To get
Pueblo factories running full time and with full pay
rolls to reestabsh transportation that there shall be
no shortage of any needed goods materials and
boekades of outgoing products, to hasten the reestab
lishment of Pueblo's great wholesale and distributing
business, and set going again all the wheels
of industry and of commerce, insure Pueblos pros
perity.
Whether city is rich or is poor is minor consd
eraon The important thing is whether the city is pro
ducing than it consumes. There many cities
that have high average wealth per capita and that
than houses of refuge for the idle rich. The
cities that really amount to something that grow into
greatness and make their impress upon the national life
are the active, energetic, producing cities.
One of the best and surest ways to hasten the re-
turn of the full of Pueblos production is fol-
low closely than the policy of buying at home,
and particularly buying at home the things that
are made at home. No dollar should be sent out of
Pueblo that be spent at home and dollar should
be spent Pueblo for anything made outside of Pueblo
competition with Pueblo made products that need the
home market

Open for Business

The removal of military restrictions upon travellers
along the highways and the railroads, and upon
freight marks important step toward the restoration
of normal conditions in Pueblo.
There double reason for such restrictions,
first because of the danger of food shortage and second
because the presence of visitors in the city
ference with the necessary work of sanitation and clear
ance. Similarly in the matter of freight only limited
amount could he brought into the city. That amount
had to be selected in such way to the ciys
imperative needs. and it had to be brought such
manner and in such quantities to interfere little
possible with the repairs of highways and railroads
For the present, Pueblo is condition to enter
tain company and Pueblo people hope that their visitors
will take lenient of situation that follows close
upon great disaster. We have lost of kindly
feeling towards the people Of other who are at
rnced by the climate and the beauy and grand

THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN
German War Criminals

The trials of German criminals accomplish
ing all that could be reasonably expected of them.
German subordnates who guilty of acts of
ruthless cruelty have been given sentences of farcica
lghtness acquitted wholly, upon the plea that they
merely executing orders given them by their super
ior Thus far there has been neither any just punish
ment of those responsible for the needless deaths of p
for the murder of non-combaants in violation
of international law approved by all civilized nations,
any acknowledgment of guilt or shame for individual
national infamy.
No intelligent person has expected anything differ
ent. When the punishment of German criminals
turned to German it became certain that
the only result of these trials would make the facts
of cruelty certain and demonstrate that subor-
dnates and high officials animated by the same
spirit of cruelty and deliberate ferocity.

An Indiscreet Admiral

The American government has acted properly in
calling back to the United States Admiral Sims who
recently made speech in London in which he criticised
the activities of ishmen and Irish sympahizers the
United States
Admiral Sims, on previous occasions, had proved
himself to be strong lover of England and of the
British government and his latest ndscreton quite
in keeping with former utterances that had
generally criticised
II appears, therefore, that Admiral Sims has been
guilty of the offence for which he brings charge
against the Irish sh-Americans. In other words, he has
permitted his partay toward foreign nation inter
fere with his supreme loyalty to the United States.
When he had the opportunity to show his liking for Eng
land he did not hesitate and clamor
among Americans.
The American who does not put the interests of the
United States ahead of the interests of any other
ton people is not 100 per cent good American The
particular object of his partiality enmy
Of minor importance.

the young soldier. who recently re
gained his power OF speech as the re-
suit Of a flight in an airplane, was
cured solely by the conviction that
he would be cured ia the assertion OF
surgeons OF the public health service
who are acquainted with the case.
This patient found himself wholly
unable to speak after an automobile
wise injured. The doctors prescribed
as cure flight in srplsne to a
great elevation. and the man came
down able to speak once more.
But. contrary to tho popular belief
this trip to the clouds. with it's ac-
comnanying thrills for one unaccust-
toned to sky travel. was not in itself
responsihie for relieving the un-
responsive throat Of the young man.
One Immediately thinks that the
rarified atmosphere to be found at
higher attitudes accounts for the voice
recovery: that the throat trouble, pos
sibly originally due tn bronchial con-
Eestion. ceased to prevent the pro-
ccsses of speech, once tho clearer air
was hreathed- The thought IL perhsp
even more general that the Night. with
Its excitsm.nts. its dips and spins. in
reality scared" the man into speech
Newspaper and magazine cartoons fol-
lowing in the wake Of the Nrst an
nounccment Of voice recovery by Nirht.
have been based largely on this belief
that tho voic, suddenly cam. under
control when its owner sought dcsper-
atcly to articulat~ the word Help"
The young man was not "Ecarcd"
into talking, according To the doctors
who suggested tho riFh, a. remedy
The young mans inability TO speak
was not due To ordinary throat trou-
hlss. but was the result OF mis- belief
brought about by weakened physical
condition and the nervous strain OF
the automobile accident In which h.
figured.
The doctors were asked to explain
why an air trfp had been prescribed

mine. with A. much hope and prospects
for recovery. but Boiling Field Air
