The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1915-12-04
NEVADA PRESS M



Tonopan Bonanza: This morning
a little lady. with a shawl over her
head and shoulders, came down the
street with a dinner pail in her hand
She was looking for her husband and
the father of her children. Last
evening he came off shift. tired and
dirty. He had toiled far in the un-
foreground and he had a check for
his months wages. Perhaps he still
had the money with him when the
day dawned, and it may have been
dissipated. If it haS been lost with
the good fellows with whom he CON-
muned during the night, then the
rent could not be paid, the grocery
man would have to wait and pay
ment of the rent would be deferred.
1t is little wonder that the woman
with the shawl and the dinner pail
asked the assistance of the police in
locating the head of the family. 1t
was not that she had angry words at
the end of her tongue, nor that she
wish to embarrass or annoy her help
mate, but she knew and everybody
else in camp knows, that on the
morning after payday the miner or
mucker who does not show up on his
job and claims illness as the cause, is
liable to find sombody else in the
position. after he had slept "a hours
and goes to the collar of the shaft.
The woman knew and the woman was
sad and sick at heat.

Wells Herald: At the coming
election it will be a very difficult mat
ter to make, with any assurance of
accuracy. political predictions. The
ladies of the State of Nevada will

U. S. Has Has Free Employment Bureau.

The United States government here
by notifies FARMERS, ranchmen, stock
men, fruit growers, hop raisers and all
other employers that through the EN-
ployment Branch Of the Department of
Labor it is prepared to furnish free of
charge workers in any number, male
or female, skilled or unskilled, native
born or foreigners, English-speaking
or those of alien tongue.
The governments employment serv-
ice is national affair, with branches
in every large city of the United
States. Through an interchange of
information between these numerous
offices, all the various districts or
zones are kept advised of labor condi-
tions throughout the country. If op-
portunities for work can not be filled
by the district in which they originate,
they are referred to other branches for
action.
A large number of men and women
have registered for work at the Port
land branch. From this number it
should not be difficult to secure help of
any particular kind. Many of those
who have found employment through
the governments service are English
speaking aliens who have had thorough
agricultural training and experience in
their native lands. Their thrift and
steadiness, together with, their knowl-
edge of intensive cultivation, makes
them valuable as farm hands in this
country.
The government is particularly well
fitted to supply seasonal labor, such as
berry and apple picking and packing,
hop picking, grain harvesting and
other tasks that require the concentra-
tion of large number of hands for a
short but busy season.
This was demonstrated in the Hood
River valley during the recent straw
berry harvest, for which the govern
ment employment branch supplied the
majority of pickers, an inspector being
detailed to Hood River to personally
supervise the distribution of workers.
Arrangements have already been made
to register hop pickers for the ap-
preaching harvest, and applications
are now being received from the grow
ers for parties of pickers to be sup
piled at the opening of the season.
Any postmaster or agent of the de-
partment of Agriculture is authorized
to receive applications for help from
employers or requests for work from
those desiring same. Or, better still,
such applicantions may be sent direct
to the Employment Branch, Depart
ment of Labor, 424 Railway Exchange
Building, Portland, Oregon, by which
Office they will be promptly acknowl-
edged.

Gradual Evacuation Of Warsaw
Reported to be Russia's Intention

London-The Morning Posts Buda-
pest correspondent reports that the
gradual evacuation Of Warsaw has
been ordered by the Russian staff.
This report, coming just when mill
tary experts in England have been dis
cussing the possibility of capture Of
the Russian fortress, has alarmed the
populace and seems to indicate more
serious condition in the Cars realm
than has hitherto been suspected.
Can Warsaw be held? is question
which has been on every tongue.
With the German Field Marshals
Won Hindenburg on the north and Won
Mackenzen on the south, whipping for
ward the two ends of a great arc
around the city, it is realized in Eng
land that Grand Duke Nicholas, COM
mander-in-chief of the Russian army,
has the most severe task imposed on
him since the outreak Of the European
war, and the military writers on some
of the London papers seem to think
that his task is we'll nigh impossible.
There was sustained confidence that
Germany's previous violent attacks
aolng the Bzura-Rawka front would
never pierce the Russian line, but the
present colossal coordinate movement
was developed with such suddenness
and carried so far without meeting
serious Russian resistance that more
and more the British press is discount
ing the fall of the Polish capital, and
while not giving up all hope of its re-
tention, is pointing out the enormous
difficulties the Russian armies have la
bored under from the start by the ex-
istence of such salient.

Repetition Of Sinking Of Ships

NEUTRAL RIGHTS DECLARED lMMUTADlf
Germany Must Adapt Practice to New
Conditions or Else Discontinue
1t, Says Latest U. S. Note.

Washington, D. C.-The text Of the
American note on submarine warfare,
presented at Berlin Saturday by Am
bassador Gerard, was made public here.
1t reveals that the imperial govern
ment has been informed it is the inten-
tion Of the United States to regard as
deliberately unfriendly" any repeti-
tion by the commanders of German
naval vessels of acts in contravention
of American rights.
The United States announces that it
will continue to contend for the free
dom of the seas, ''from whatever quar-
ter violated, without compromise and
at any cost"
Contending that defense of an act
as retaliatory is an admission that it is
illegal" the American government ar
CUES that it cannot discuss actions of
Great Britain, with Germany and must
regard as "irrevelant" in the present
negotiations the conduct of other bel
ligerents.
illegal and inhuman acts, y says the
note, however justifable they may be
thought against an enemy who is be-
lieved to have acted in contravention
Of law and humanity, are manifestly
indefensible when they deprive neu-
trails Of their rights, particularly when
they violate the right Of life itself"
Pointing out that belligerent
should give up its measures of retalia-
tion If unable to conduct them with
out injuring the lives of neutrals, !" the
note declares that persistence in such
measures, under the circumstances,
would constitute an objectionable
-offense against the sovereignty of the
neutral nations affected.
1.-THE United States" it is further
asserted, ''is not unmindful of the ex-
traordinary conditions" created by the
present war and is ''ready to make
every reasonable allowance for these
novel and unexpected aspects of war
at sea-" but cannot consent ''to abate
any essential or fundamental right of
its people because of mere alteration
of circumstances"
The note says that events of the
past two months clearly indicate that
it is possible and practicable" to
conduct submarine operations sin sub
stantial accord with the accepted
practices of regulated warfare" The
comment is, added that the whole
world has looked with interest and in
creasing satisfaction at the demonstra-
tion Of. this fact by German naval COM
manders, and that it is ''manifestly
possible to lift the whole practice of
submarine attack above the criticism
which it has aroused and remove the
chief causes of offense."

ALLEGED GERMAN ACTIVITY IN
UNITED STATES IS INVESTIGATED

Washington, d. Cat the instance
Of the British government the State
department has called on the depart
ment Of Justice TO investigate the ac-
tivities of certain German sympathiz-
crs in the United States who are al
legged TO have been employing unlawful
means to strike at Great Britain and
her allies.
Until inquiry has developed whether
there is sufficient evidence to warrant
proceedings no names will be made
public, and officials Of the departments
as well as those Of the British en-
bassy, are reticent about discussing
the matter. II is known, however,
that information has reached the en-
bassy concerning all kinds of plots,
ranging from schemes to wreck bridges
over which railroad trains were carry
ing volunteers Of the British army to
incitement Of strikes at American in
dustrial plants making war supplies
for the allies.
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, in dis
cussing the strike that Is scheduled for
an early date at the Bridgeport, Conn.,,
plant Of the Remington Arms & Am
munition company, made the assertion
that foreign interests" have sought
by the expenditure Of unlimited funds
to bring about widespread labor
troubles in the United States, with the
view Of preventing further shipments
Of supplies to Europe.
In one case the British government
informed the State department it had
evidence involving wealthy German
resident Of Detroit, Mich, who was
alleged to have supplied money to GER
tain persons in Windsor, Ont, to
finance an attempt to dynamite a Can
adian armory and a factory making
clothing for the British army. Great
Britain inquired whether this case, If
fully substantiated, would constitute
activity on American soil and
a breach Of neutrality.
