EFFECTS OF WAR ON
CHINA ARE SEVERE

PICKING, Sept. 25.-The effects
severe in many ways. and one of the
worst is that the government, driven
for heed of money to desperate
straits, has now been compelled to
relax. for the purposes of revenue,
on the splendid opium reform which
it achieved in recent years to the
amazement of the world.
The Chinese government has been
living for a number of years large
ly on loans procured from Euro
to an abrupt end when the war he
gan. The Chinese government en-
deavored to make domestic loans,
but succeeded only in a comparative
ly insignificant way. 1t is now try
ing to Institute a new system of tax
alton but is making little progress;
and recently agents of the ministry
of finance have come to an agree
ment with a combination of foreigl'
opium merchants in Shanghai to per-

lying there for over a year to en-
ter the province of Kiangsu on pay
ment of surtaX OF
$500 a case, making for the gov
ernmeht $4,000, 900.
These 5000 cases represent the
last of the Indian opium that will
come LOCALLY to China. This was
stock which was certified by the
British government in India and per
mitted to come to China during the
last few years before the British
government finally terminated the
shipments to this country. Since that
time opium merchants in Shanghai
have been fighting hard to get the
drug into China. and the Chinese
have been struggling to keep it out.
Now the Chinese minister of finance,
being driven to desperate ends, has
undoubtedly with the sanction OF
President Yuan, without whose APP
prevail it could not be done, agreed
to settle this long standing question
by allowing to be consumed in K.ar
su for. it is estimated, at least two
more years.
Meanwhile governors of different
provinces according to authentic and
persistent reports, have also modi-
fled their restrictions on the plant
ing of the poppy, because of the need
of the money and the large revenue
which CAN he derived from the sale
and transit of opium.

Shake Up

The city board of health at Reno
received a shakeup recently when
several members of the doctors re-
fused to fumigate Reno dwellings
when ordered to do SO by the city
council. The board and the council
have not been in full accord for some
time but an open rupture such as
has occurred was not expected. One
man in the future will do all the
work and receive a salary of S1G0

WOMEN STRIVE FOR
HIGHER EDUCATION

BERLIN, Sept. &c. = Women
have taken advantage as never be-
fore in the absence of men from
the various German universities to
strive for the higher education that
not so many years ago was denied
them.
During the last semester which
fell entirely in peace times 41SO
women were registered at the vari-
Gus institutions. This number has
increased to 1870 during the past
half year. constituting a percentage
increase of women attending Ger
man universities of from GA to
S.54. In the entire past six years
the percentage had increased only
2.7.
The actual increase in point of
numbers is not as great in two ear
lier years, when the figures jumped
by $50 and ATS respectively. The
1915 figures, however, have been
held down somewhat by the absence
of the Americans, Russians. English
and Swiss women who customarily
dIS cIIOlICu III WIN, u WV
war, have been absent.
The number of ome studying
medicine shows the largest increase,
rising from 974 to 1850. Five years
ago there were but 512. There are
225S studying philosophy and his
tory, against 2120; S62 mathe-
MATES, against 761; 40 studying
political science, against 1872; 70
studying law, against 81; AZ study
ing dentistry. against 81; 7 studying
theology, against 10; and IL study
ing pharmacy, against IA.
The southern Germany UNIVERSE
ties have suffered losses and the
Prussian institutions have gained, in
number of women students. The at
tendance includes 1923 at Berlin;
492 at Pom; 3SS at Munich; 277 at

MILL IS RUNNING
ON HIGH GRADE ORE
STALL BROTHERS GAINING Sue
CESS IN THEIR OPERATIONS
AT MASONIC

Very little has been said lately
about what is being done in the
camp of Masonic, but just the same
there is good work going on. The
Stall brothers are now running their
mill three shifts on the high grade
ore which was discovered on the
Sarita claim in January, 1913, and
which they have kept covered up
from that time until now.
But the vein when discovered was
ten feet in width and assayed all the
way from $500 to $4,000. They have
opened it up for 100 feet in length,
have cut the vein at the end OF OF
feet to the extent of is feet and are
not yet through the pay.
This vein was discovered on the
100 foot level and has been tapped
just sufficient to satisfy the II
that it still exists on both the $50
and 200 levels.
The tramway that has just been
completed has just been tried out,
found to work successfully, and they
have commenced sending the
high grade ore to the mill, which
means that the camp of Masonic will
soon be in the list of regular ship
pers of bullion.
The n of this property, how
ever, still maintain the same secrecy
regarding the property that existed
from the day the high grade was
struck.
J.. ID. Martin, who has purchased
the New York mining claim, as well
as the ground adjoining, expects to
commence work in a short time, and
it is an established fact hat the
high grade vein which was discovered
IN the Sarita claim runs through the
New York as we'll.
A number of men have been put TO
work, and it looks as if prepara-
tons were being made to take out
ore and run the mill all winter. The
whole situation looks good for those
VINO have STAYED with the camp and
have had the faith in it. - Carson

USING WOOD PULP
IN HIGH EXPLOSIVES

LONDON, Sept. rs. = The ques-
lion whether the Germans are find
he wood pulp an efficient substi-
tute for cotton in the manufacture of
high explosives has been investigated
by the Paper Maker, which has con-
suited several experts.
Sir William Ramsey says: 81
quite agree that it is highly prob
able that the Germans are making
nitro-lignose from wood fiber. This
is the tragedy of our always being
too late. I quite agree that we
should declare wood pulp contra
band. but I hesitate to start another
campaign; it takes so much time
and energy.
The Germans have plenty OF
wood; their country is largely at
forested. AS to the relative eff
cacy of wood pulp and cotton I am
not expert enough to answer thai
All I can say is that / I'm told by
French experts that the ballistic
power of nitro-lignose is not equal
to that of gun cotton. But Krupp
is turning out any lumber OF guns
of all sorts, and doubtless they are
standardized, as regards sights and
chambers, for nitro-lignose."
Another expert, Walter F. Reid,
sees no value in declaring wood pulp
contraband, for Germany has such
large areas of forest containing
suitable woods that the present rate
of consumption of explosives could
be maintained for years without i'm
p~ortation of wood pulp" He adds
that one of the most popular smoke
less powders has beer made of wood
pulp for more than so years.
Clayton Beadle, a third expert
holds a rather different view. saying
the German pulp mills could not pro-
duce a product that would reach the
requirements of explosives for long
adding "to suddenly drop cotton
and switch to something new must
spell disaster. or at any rate il
would be a most serious handicap
and it has not yet been proved that
it can be done"
