OUR NATIONAL DEFENSE
The establishment of a nermar

The establishment of a permanent
council of national defense was urged
as primary measure of preparedness
by speakers at a meeting under the
auspices of the National Security
League held at Boston last Saturday
Governor Walsh and United States
Senator Weeks, in advocating the de
fense council idaa, said that success
could not be assured unless it was re-
moved from political influence. The
Governor suggested that the council
consist of the President, the Secre-
taries of War and Naval Colleges,
and other heads of military and naval
forces and the chairman of the Ways
and Means and Military and Naval
committees of Congress.
Senator Weeks recommended that
the council be composed largely OF
officers of the army and navy and
be continued from one administration
to another. in such way that changes
will not affect their activities. In the
opinion of Governor Walsh, citizens

THE WAR ON WOMEN BY EUROPE

Miss Edith Cavelps death at the
hands of German executioners was 4
foolish bit of barbarism, even though it
should accomplish the desired end
of terrorizing all others who might
contemplate offenses similar to hers.
The good opinion of the world ought
to be worth something even to a
German superman, whose only law is
expediency. One wonders whether
to marvel more at the cruelty, or at
the faulty, of the German authorities
in Belgium.
Won der Lacken, the Christian Of
iecer and gentleman, who, as German
Governor of Belgium, approved Miss
Cavell's death sentence and lied about
it to the American Ambassador, could
have done Great Britain no greater
service than the murder of this un-
fortunate woman. What British pa
triotism could not effect for the re-
cruiting officers, British eagerness for
revenge may possibly accomplish. If
there existed in England any doubt

as to what might be expected if Ger
many conquers, visions of a terror
stricken woman bravely facing Ger
man firing squad should remove it.
If civilization has questioned whether
a German triumph would be an un-
mixed evil, it need question no longer.
1t is not greatly material what
course Berlin selects to stem the ris-
ing tide of world indignation as it
slowly learns the terrible details of
Miss Cavcll's taking off, Whether
the German government prefers to
follow the familiar custom of denying
the facts, or admits them and pleads
military necessity as justification, the
result will be the same. None can
forget that Germany first denied re-
sponsibility for the murder of the
Lusitania women and children by cit
il G the alleged explosives that YES
sci carried, then when that excuse
proved baseless, justified the whole
sale crime by the plea of necessity

BULLETIN ON STATE MINING DISTRICTS

The results of reconnaissance
work in Nevada by F. L. Ransome
have been published by the United
States Geological Survey as Bulletin
Ala, Notes on some mining districts
in Humboldt County, New" The bull

naissance examination of some 1000
square miles, invcluding the Seven
Troughs, Rosebud, Star, Unionville,
Humboldt, Fitting, Chafey, Kennedy,
Adelaide, Red Butte and Coppereid
districts. Some of the districts exam
ined, such as Seven Troughs, Rose

others, like Star City, and Unionville,
reached their acme of productiveness
in the sixties and have not yet par
ticipated in the recent general revival
of mining activity in Nevada; one or

STILL CRACKING !" AT THE DEMON

from the use OF alcoholic liquors while
on military duty as the best possible
example they could set their men, is

in many national guard camps one

Organ in his bulletin does not as

guard officers of New York have been
in the wholesale liquor business at

was the action intended as a move
ment in support of the moral aspect OF
the non-use of liquor But it was
known that the course of instruction
was such that the student officers
would require the application of their
physical and mental powers unimpair-
ed by distracting convivialty, late
hours, digestive disorders and super
stimulation" General Organ also
says, in part: I'm addition to the ed
ucation and disciplinary advantages
accrung to the military service from
the non-use of liquor by its personnel
there results benefit to the individual
which is now authoritatively recog-
nized, and concerning which officers

welfare of their mel should have ac-
curate knowledge. He quotes re-

purpose; still others, like Adelaide,
have been intermittently active for
over IS years, oscillating between
prosperity and decay. Mr.. Ransome
discusses the mineralogy, geology and
mining operations of the region. His
conclusion is that the southern por-
tion of Humboldt county is part of
a metallogenetic province of antimon-
ial ores of silver with numerous and
widely scattered deposits of stibnite
and cinnabar. There are in addition
some deposits of gold-silver, copper
and nickcl-cobalt ores. Ore deposit
ton probably began Immediately after
the intrusion of the Triassic and Jur-
assic sedimentsvin late Mesozoic time
by granite igneous rock of the same
kind as that which invaded the sedi-
mentary rocks of the Sierra Nevada at
the same period and continued into
the Tertiary. The known Tertiary
deposits are essentially gold-silver
ores and copper ores, but it is possible
that some of the other types are also
Tertiary.

SMITH VALLEY MINES TO RESUME

Last Monday Mr.. H. L. VanValen,
the representative of the stockholders

rived in the city, his visit having for
its object conference with Receiver
f. J. Cooper and Warren Hauser,
attorney for Receiver, regarding the

Through the efforts of Mr.. Van Va

been made for the future financing,
and it is thought that all troubles are
to end in very short time.
Last Wednesday, accompanied by
C. M. Coddington and N W. Willis,
former District Attorney of Lyon

Valley, where he found Keeper Saun-

it of such magnitude. Every level

was indeed revelation, so much so,
that he Immediately telegraphed the
most favorable report to his stock
holders. During the whole time of
his visit he has been impressed with
the very favorable comment of quite
a number of miners who have worked
in the property, in fact he states his
feelings by stating, Everyone speaks
SO highly of this mine, that even l,
probably, do not as yet understand its
great value"
The property is equipped with fine
plant of machinery, a rs h. p. gaso-
line hoist, 6-drill compressor, which
is run by 90 h. p. gasoline engine,
every part of which is in readiness
for operation.

these two classes of problems, and
give fair share of their time to eco
nomics. He expressed the opinion that
the right of ballot made it duty of
the gentler sex to assume direct re-
sponsibility for economic reforms,
which are so urgently needed.
Governor Boyle's remarks are GER
tainly perfectly attuned to the day
and time, and should furnish food for
deep and lasting thought by the Fed
Grafton members.
Following songs by the male quar-
tet, composed of Messrs. G. f. Leav-
lit, J. |. Kline, r. l.. Waggoner and
Mr.. McCreery, Judge Thos. c. Hart
was introduced. The speaker was in
happy vein, and started auspiciously
by stating that, while the ladies had
not assigned him a subject, he knew
he couldn't well get off the subject,
SO wide and general is the scope of
subject matters to which they devote
themselves. He then stated his obser-
vation to be that there is a general
breaking down in the opposition to
women taking place by the side of
the men in all walks of life, and that
the advanced idea is that great ac-
complishments come from joint eff
forts of the man and woman; he di-
rected attention to the fact that this
condition has always existed, recog-
milton thereof being forced by the in
tellectual, social and commercial
emancipation of woman. In support
of this he cited history in positive
proof that mans really great achieve
ments have ever been inspired or else
made possible by the assistance of
woman.
Judge Hart presented food for
thought in the assertion he is an ad-
vocate of pay for service; that where
as women are in many callings per-
forming the same service as men, in
very few occupations do they com
mand the same recompense. He stat
ed in his opinion this is the greatest
injustice, and closed his remarks by
urging the Federation members to

In the case of the State against

glary in the first degree committed
recently at Dayton an information by
the District Attorney was filed. The
defendant was arraigned at 10 o'clock
and by the Court informed of his right
for time to plead to the information
as well as his right to have an attor-
ney. Upon his statement that he did
not want an attorney and that he was
ready to plead the Court permitted
Garay to plead guilty and set the hour
of 5 p. m. for passing judgment and
sentence. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon
Garay was brought into Court and
asked if he had anything.to say why
the sentence of the Court should not
tehn be passed upon him. Upon his
reply that he had nothing to say,
Judge Hart then sentenced him to the
Carson City penitentiary for term
not less than three years and not to
exceed FIVE years. The defendant was
then remanded to the custody of the
Sheriff pending his commitment to

The Citadel of Yerington has been

better expression, our city has capitu-

in our midst one-tenth part of the
qualification we experience in being

The majority of the delegates ar
rived by train and auto Wednesday,
while few followed on Thursday
They came for business principally
but their presence instantly radiated
such an appealing social atmosphere
that before the hour for the initial
meeting the entire city was teeming
with good fellowship of the highest
order; hence it was with spirit of
rivally in extending hospitality that
our folk packed the district court
room to more than capacity at BIS
o'clock Wednesday evening.
The "get together meeting" with
Mrs. Geo. F. West presiding, was a
most wholesome affair, wherein the
ladies demonstrated that when they
lay aside business for pleasure they
retain their characteristic energy.
There was something altogether busi-
nesslike in the "whack" of the gavel,
as it struck on the appointed minute
-8:l5. Mrs. West is a most admir-
able presiding officer, accompanying
each introduction by appropriate and
fitting remarks, and there is a zest in
her manner that keeps everyone right
upon the tiptoe of expectancy and
appreciation
The choral society of Yerington
opened the program with two pleas

delightful little speech extended
greeting from the Woman's Club OF
