Jrst time the German military au
nties lay stress on the supreme
je of their prisoners as man power
JlndUHtry and agriculture. They are
humorous. It Is asserted, that they
|far toward compensating Germany
the men she has had to withdraw'
peaceful pursuits for active mll
serviee. "The longer the war
' the communique adds, "the
adaptable these prisoners be
ne to the work assigned them, and
more useful to us." ^
luns have a majestic awe of big
are*. Thus It is explained for their
location that the "labor army" In
boner' camps Is numerically greater,
p the whole male working-class
pulatlon of Denmark, Norway and
Men combined, "and Is equivalent
1 one-fifth the total number of work
men In Germany before the war."

"Their supremacy has been often

3s.,
j'The greatest competition arose
^ronch the introduction of the so

lone with the other Russian fruits,
^ainly in the importations of 1876 and
S3, and were exploited malnly^In the.l

PKH8IPUNT WILSON has en
larged the wonderful Mukuntu
weap National monument. In
Utah, and changed Its name. It
ia now known as the Zlou National
monument, which la Immeasurably bet
ter from every point of view.
The old name, besldesuhelng hard to
pronounce and remember, was obscure
In origin and was never used except
officially. The new name Is that In
popular use. Besides, it crystallizes
the romantic history of its amazingly
beautiful valley ; the surrounding coun
try was settled by Mormons many
years ago, and this difficult canyon was
chosen as a refuge In the event of
Indian attack, and called "Little" Zlon
to differentiate If from "Big" Zlon,
which was Salt Lake City. Since then
It has universally been called Zlon
The enlargement of the Zlon Nation
al monument follows naturally upon
Its recent thorough exploration and the
"discovery" of. outlying areas of alto
gether extraordinary scientific Interest
and scenic grandeur. That Its fantas
tic cliffs, Its sensational coloring, und
Its romantic conformation will bring It
" national popularity as a resort Is mani
fest destiny. It has been called, for
good reasons, "the little Grand Canyon"
aud "the desert Yosemlte," but It is m>
miniature of either; its Individuality
is marked.
Remarkable Variety of Color.
The original monument was created
by proclamation In 1909, but, being
well outside the highways of ordinary
travel, It was not thoroughly explored
until within the last two years. Offi
cial Investigation and action promptly
followed.
"Among the numerous geologic fea
tures of Interest," wrote Secretary.
Lftne to the President, "two deserve
more than passing notice. The Ver
milion Cliff, so culled because of Its
brilliant color, famous, since the days
of Major Powell's exploration, as one^
of the most remarkable In the world,
an escarpment more than 100 miles
long and so precipitous timt it cnn b?
scaled In few places, passes through
this monument. It consists of red
sandstone 1,000 to 2,000 feet thick and
overlaid by 1,000 feet of gllstenlug
white sand. These two form single
cliffs nearly 8,000 feet high. These re-,
markable walls bear evldeuce that the
sand gathered In a desert In ages long
past ? that here was a great prehistoric
American Sahara.
"The second feature of unusual in
terest lies Immediately above the sand,
for the desert was destroyed by the In
cursion of sea water, which cohered
the drifting sand and burled it beneath
gypsum and beds of limestone In which
were entombed the shells and bones of
jwft-ahloaalg."
Mighty Cleft in Mountain*.
The principal canyon, which Is more
than 15 miles long and varies from 50
feet wide In the Narrows to 2.500 feet
wide In other portions, Is a mighty
cleft, as If the mountain had been
violently riven asunder. The wnlls
are' inconceivably carved Into domes,
half domes, colonnades, and temples-?
forms which appealed strongly to the
religious Imagination of the early Mor
mons, who gave them names which ap
peal strongly to the Imagination of to
day's tourist.
The tortuous outlying canyons and
monumental rock formations added by
the new proclamation make an area as
remarkable in its particular way ?p
the Grand Canyon. There are several
neighboring natural bridges of mag
nificence.

MAKING OF THE YELLOWSTONE
How Its History is Written in Its
Plateaus, Mountains, Petrified
Trees and Lava.
To comprehend what we have In the
Yellowstone, we must begin with Its
making. The entire region Is of vol
canic origin. The mountains around
It on both sides and the mountains
within it are products or remainders
of great volcanoes of the far past ; and |
the groat plateaus, from which spring i
Its geysers and hot springs and through '
whose forests now roam so many wild
animals, are composed of the ash and
disintegrated lavas which were once |
ejected from these volcanoes. Of
course the plains are now all d??ep *ith>
soil. Hut surh evidences of the past as
the black volcanic glass of th^ Obsidian
Cliff and the fantastic whorled lava
rocks of Mount Washburn are plain tt>
the least Instructed eye.
One particularly fascinating glimpse
of Yellowstone's tempestuous past la
afforded In the petrified for??st of the
Specimen Ridge neighborhood, where
many levels of upright petrified trunks
may be found alternating, like the lay
em In a cake, with levels of lava ;
which plainly shows that, after the
flrst forest grew on the volcano's slope
and was engulfed by a fresh run of
lava, enough time elapsed for a sccond
forest to grow upon that level; and
that this, In turn, was engulfed with
new lava to make the level for another
forest, and so on. There Is a cliff 2,000
feet high composed wholly of these, al
ternate levels of engulfed forests and
the lavas which engulfed them.
In magnificent contrast with the vol
canic plateau and Its border of volcanic
mountains there rises from the plains,
HO miles south of the park, one of the
most abrupt and stupendous outcrop
pings of granite In the Western hem
isphere. From the western shore of
Jackson lake the Teton mountains lift
their spired peaks 7.000 feet In appa
rent perpendicular. Many glaciers rest
upon their shonltlers. Their climax Is
the Grand Teton, whose altitude is 13,
747 feet.
Thus does the Yellowstone run th?
scenic gamut.
Once .Tacksons Hole, as this reglor
Is still popularly called, was the refuge
for the hunted desperado of mountain,
plain, and city. In the recesses of these
granite monsters he was safe from pur
suit, and the elk herds of the plalr
provided him food. Rut that plctur
pxqne period of American life has pM?
ed with the warrlnj? Indians, who atM
j hore found N-mporary safe retreat.
