Denver Bends Pershing Smokes.

Denver, Colo. —Gen. John J. Pershing, commander of the American forces in France, will soon be puffing “Denver made” cigars. The biggest and best box of “smokes" secured in the Day” offerings will be sent to the general. The “Sacrifice Day” was conducted under the auspices of the local chapter of the Navy league, and nearly S6OO worth tobacco, cigars and cigarettes was obtained for the Sammies. Girls were stationed at every cigar stand in the city and boxes, barrels and other receptacles were rapidly filled by the patriotic smokers. The assortment is being prepared for shipment to France.
