GREAT ACTIVITY FOR A
GOOD CAUSE.

The Women's Relief corps of Ne

naught Nevada with fine magnificent
silk standards as soon as that vessel

architecture, is finished. For this
purpose the ladies of Nevada propose
holding a series of entertainments TO
raise funds for the presentation. The
movement, which originated with the
ladies of Tonopah, has met with the
warmest approval of the sisters of
Carson City, Winnemucca and Reno.
and the following letter from the sec
retary of Custer Relief corps at Car
son City will explain the progress
that has been made:

HOUSE ADOPTS IT.
Conference Report on War Revenu
Bill Goes to Senate.

Washington. Oct. 22.-The conference
report on the war revenue bill was
adopted in the house by q vote of 126
to SO.
The report went over to the senate
for action and the house took up the
cotton war house bill. Representative
Henry of Texas produced a letter from
President Wilson expressing the hope
that congress would pas sthe bill before
adjournment. While Leader Under
wood attempted to get up the adjourn
ment resolutions, Mr.. Henry forced roll
calls and began a mild fillibuster to
force action on the warehouse bill.
When the report arrived in the senate,
Senator Smith of Georgia held 1t up
temporarily while he pressed resolu-
ton fer a senatorial commission to in
vestigate the cotton export situation.
The senate promptly adopted Senator
Smiths resolution and proceeded to the
conference report on the war revenue
bill.

CAN'T HIDE IN CANAL
Suez Convention Does Not Allow 1t to
Become a Refuge.

London. Oct. 22.-Through the official
press bureau the government sets forth
it's attitude towards the ships of an
enemy in the Suez canal. Some vessels,
it states, were detained by the Egyptian
government because of hostile acts COM
mitted in the canal and some because 1t
was believed that they contemplated
hostile acts. In third class are placed
the ships which refused to leave. though
free passage is offered. thus disclosing
an intention to use the ports of the
canal as a refugee measure not con-
templated by the Suez canal conven-
tion.''
As such action might block the use
OF the canal by other ships it is con-
tended that the Egyptian government
is fully justified in removing all the
enemy's ships which have been long
enough at canal ports to show clearly
that they have no intention of depart
ing in the ordinary way

THEY APE NAPOLEON.
Germans Are Following Out a Maxim
of the Little Corporal's.

Paris. Oct. 22.zThe latest dis
patches from the battle front in
France and Belgium told just enough
to make the public eager for more.
The allies positions having been ev-
erywhere gained against the on
slaughts of the enemy, tOday's off,
cial statement of the war Office was
the object of hope on the part of the
French.
Meanwhile the fighting forces be-
fore resuming the contest sought
anew to discover the weak spot in
the lines of one another A maxim
of Napo1eon: DO not attack in the
front the positions you can obtain by
turning" is apparently q maneuver to
which the Germans are adhering in
what appears to be a supreme effort.
In this battle of the north the allied
armies supported by an English
squadron. have thus far successfully
withstood repeated and fierce attacks
of the enemy.
The field of battle in Belgium,
Flanders, Picardy. Champagne, Ar
gonne, Lorraine, Vosges and as far as
Alsace continues to be the scenes of
combats where the allies have made
gains, btu a real decisive result is yet
awaited.
