.S|LZER PRAISES I
PEACE MOVE.
Endorses Movement for Abo-
Iition of Warn Meetings to
be Held Next Month

TRENTON, July 25-In connec-
ton with the public meetings which
will be held throughout the United
States beginning next Saturday, as
part of a world wide demonstration
for the abolition of war, Governor
Silzer yesterday declared he was in
entire sympathy with the movement
to do away with armed conflict.
II am in hearty accord with any
movement which has for it's object
the abolition of war;" said the Gov
ernor.
THE world has been taught a ter
rible lesson. Time, to be sure, blots
out from our memory the sufferings
of the past, but almost daily we are
brought into contact with the brutal
effects of the war.
"Only recently l had occasion to
visit some of our institutions and
there say many of the young men
who had fought for us. Some had
been deprived of their reaso by the
terrible experiences through which
they had passed; others were suffer-
ing from tuberculosis contracted In
| the service-many of them will new
er recover And nearly every day we
see some young nan who has lost
a leg or an arm or in some way Is
disabled for life. Then think of
the millions of helpless women and
| children who died from hunger and
disease all brought on by the war;
Every thoughtful person realizes
that in this civilized age warfare
should have no place.
Whatever our personal views may
be as to the methods to be adopted
to prevent war, all are agreed that
something must be done and done
quickly. Expressions of enlightened
public opinion which keep us
aroused to our sense of duty will
sooner or later accomplish this pur-
pose. Selfishness, individual and
national, retards our progress.
THE golden rule must be applied
among the nations of the earth,
otherwise the problems will not be
solved. America in many ways has
set an example. Her people must be
brought to a realization of her duty
and her power for good. 1 au sure
that the meetings that have been
planned will prove to be helpful and
inspiring and will aide the great
cause of peace"

GREAT LOSS IN FLOOD

CASPER, Wyo., July 25.-With
unofficial estimates of the damage
placed at nearly 81, 500, 900, the re-
gion west and northwest of here,
extending as far as Thermopolis. is
struggling to get it's head above the
mood waters which deluged that Sec
tlon yesterday. The damage to the
Burlington Railroad between Arm
ington and Thermopolis, a stretch
OF eighty miles, is estimated at close
to $4,000. Because wires are down
most of the way between Arlington.
thirty-hve miles northwest of here,
and Thermopolis, it is difficult TO
ascertain the exact amount of dam
age. No loss of life is reported thus
far. The Burlington reports three
steel bridges west of here and two
smaller bridges besides a large
amount OF railroad roadbed washed
out.
