FOR WATER PIPES
THAT FREEZE

Every farmer knows what il is to
be troubled with frozen water pipes
in the winter. There are few but
who have not had the experience Of
being compelled to thaw them out
some time or other. In a recent
issue of the Country Gentleman a
writer says he has found successful
methods of treating the pipes SO
that they will not freeze. The
method is described as follows:
after much experimenting l
finally hit up on the easiest, most
inexpensive and surest way to keep
the frost off the pipe. l have re-
commended it to many persons who
have tried it and found it saves
many repair bills. Melt an equal
quantity IF MISUNDERSTANDING
aud of p~arafin wax together and
after wiping the pipes perfectly
dry apply with an old brush a thick
coat of this mixture while it is hot.
An old lamp Or torch will easily
keep it in a liquid state. You will
find that no matter how cold the
weather may get, the frost cannot
penetrate this coat of grease. l
have used this on water pipes that
are along the ground unprotected,
and not nee during the coolest
weather did they freeze up or give
me the least trouble"

GROUND 10 PULP
y. w. Hunt, Southern Pacific
Brakeman, Killed in Elko
Yard
An accident that cost the life Of
]. w. Hunt, a brakeman on q west
bound Southern Pacific freight
train, occurred in the Elko yards
about 8 o'clock this morning. The
train had been cut in two and the
engine was backing upon the side
track to pick up some empties. As
the tender struck the crossing by
the passenger depot, the rear truck
jumped the track. follo wed by the
engine and Hunt who was riding
on the rear end Of the tender was
either thrown off by the wheels
Jolting over the ties or jumped off
to signal the engineer and was
caught by the engine wheels and
horribly mangled. He was dragged
some distance and the body FROM
the ribs down was crushed to a
pulp.
The accident was caused by the
frozen ground at the crossing. The
warm weather Of Friday and Sat-
urday covered the crossing with
thin mud which froze hard against
the rails Sunday night. 1t is
thought that a small stone had
frozen in the mud aud that was
the cause of the tender jumping
the track. After the accident, the
section gang was set to work clear
ing the frozen ground from the
rails. Had this been done before,
the accident might not have hap
pened.
The track was badly torn up for
a hundred feet or more The
wrecker came up from Carlin and
put the engine and tender hack on
the track.
Mr.. Hunt lived in Ogden, where
he leaves a widow and four or five
children. He was about 48 years
of age and had been working about
fifteen days. His remains were
taken to the morgue.
Coroner Castle was notified and
summoned a jury to inquire into
the cause of death. The jury view
ed the remains and the scene Of the
accident, listened to the evidence
Of several witnesses and found
that the name of the deceased was
j. W. Hunt, a resident Of Ogden
whose nativity was unknown, that
he was 48 years of age and came
to his death by being crushed by
the tender Of engine No. 32l6 of
the Southern Pacific company,
caused by said tender being derail-
ed on account of crossing being
filled with frozen mud and ice, also
on account of a low joint in the
rail at the crossing.
The verdict holds the Southern
Pacific company responsible for The
accident which was doubtless caus-
ed by the frozen mud and ice
against the rails. We understand
that the section men began to dig
the mud and ice away. from the
rails as soon as tie accident occur

BERLIN, via London. December l.
The statement of the American am
bassador. James w. Gerard. regarding
contraband is generally reprinted in
the German press The Kreuz Zeitung
SAYS that no objection can be raised to
the standpoint taken. which Is thor
oughly objective and comprehensive.
Count Ernest Won Reventlow in the
Tages Zeitung finds the American
standpoint technically correct, but
argues that such shipments, whereby
only the allies benefit and which con-
stantly strengthen the military effort
directed against Germany. actually
work out in practice as support of
one belligerent to the detriment of an
other and in way are contrary to the
spirit of neutrality. He makes the sug-
gestion that the American government
use the weight of its authority in Lon
don to insure the delivery of such sup
plies to Germany and its allies He
also says that the United States will
be able to demonstrate, by such prac-
ticaI policy, indubitably that its neu-
trality is loyal.

No Other Way Open.

In reply to Count Won Reventlow's
contention that the American position
on the declaration Of London was. in a
way. contrary to the spirit of neutral
ity and actually workd to the benent
of the allies, State Department officials
take the view that no other way
seemed to be open to the United States
in its efforts to observe neutrality than
to take the stand it did, as outlined
in Ambassador Gerard's official state
ment, which declared that the United
States will insist that its rights and
duties and those of its citizens In the
present war be defined by the exist
ing rules of international law and the
treaties Of the United States with the
belligerents independently of the decla-
ration of London -.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Unofficial reports that the Ger
mans had undertaken another at
tack on Ypres, marking the be-
ginning of a great battle, re-
ceived no -eosermation in today's
communications from the French
and German war Offices. The
French statement, however, said
that the - enemy was showing
considerable activity" to the
north of Arras, French town near
the Belgian border. The German
statement dismisses the situation
in the west by saying that there
is nothing to report.
Germany continues to view the
military situation in the east in a
confident way, giving no intima-
ton of reversal at the hands of
the Russians. Today's announce
ment says that $500 more prison
ers have been taken in Russian
Poland in the engagements near
the Vistula river, which were said
yesterday in Berlin to have re-
suited favorably for the forces of
Emperor William. Official Petro-
grad maintains its attitude of re-
serve.
A general retirement of the Ger
mans before the Belgian town of
Dixmude was reported unofficial
ly. The Germans recently cap
tured from the allies this town,
which lies in the heart of the con-
tested section of Belgium, where
uncounted thousands have died as
a result of the German effort to
force way to the English chan
mel.

Undoubtedly U. s. View.
The statement credited to Amba ssa-
dor Gerard is undoubtedly the view ex-
pressed by the United States in it's re-
ply to Germany's protest that England
and France were violating the declara
tion of London with regard to what
was contraband.
The reply stated that the United
States withdraw its suggestion, made
to the belligerent countries, that the
declaration of London be adopted as a
temporary. code OF naval warfare for
use in the present war and that this
was done because of the unwillingness
of some of the belligerents to adopt the
declaration of London without modi-
fication.
The United States government, there
fore, the reply went on to say, would
insist that its rights and its duties and
those of its citizens in the present war
be defined by the existing rules of in
ternational law and the treaties of the
United States with the belligerents.
1t also said that the United States gov
ernment would reserve the right to en-
ter a demand or protest in every case
in which Its rights and duties are vio-
lated or their free exercise hindered.

Reported Also by Amsterdam.
A dispatch from Amsterdam quotes
the Sluis correspondent of the Handels-
blad as saying:
"a big battle is raging between the
User and the Lys. One hundred and
twenty thousand Germans have been
sent to Ypres to make a final attempt
to capture the town. The garrisons in
Flanders have been reduced to a mini
mum to provide troops to prevent the
allies advancing on Zonnebeke and
Langemarck."
Some dispatches say that the Ger
mans already have begun to fall back
upon their rear entrenchments. but as
the official statements make no mem
tion of this, it is assumed it is only
guess of correspondents working on
the theory that the Russian success
has been Overwhelming and final.
One story that the Germans already
had begun retreat came from
Amsterdam. The correspondent of the
Central News telegraphed that the
kaiser's forces before Dixmude had be-
gun a general retirement.
