COMING TO NEVADA
FOR EDUCATIONAL TRAINING
University of Nevada Becoming {
Recognized Factor in Western
Educational Circles

One-ffth of the students in the
University of Nevada last year were
from California.
Out of 469 students enrolled in all
the departments. colleges, short
Courses and Summer schools. III
were from States other than Nevada
and of these 80 were from California.
Moreover Sc of these SO students
were taking the regular four-year
college courses in Arts and Science,
Engineering and Agriculture.
The significance of this large out
side enrolment. and more particular
ly from California, is that the Uni
versity of Nevada is becoming a
recognized factor in Western educa-
tional circles.
And why should it not be? 1t is
about the right size for the best in
struction any student can get; name
ly, close contact with his or her in
structors. Moreover. the equipment
for imparting knowledge is modern
in every sense, and the University
Faculty is recognized everywhere as
an exceptionally strong one.
1t is the place for Nevada young
men and young women to get their
college training. That fact is empha-
sized in the story of the success of
the u. of N. Alumni. The Univer.
sity opens August Both and this years
attendance is expected to surpass all
past records.

Alexander C. Young, who had a
meteoric career in Reno several
years ago as an alleged lawyer and
newspaper man, is n c more in
trouble in Sacramento. where he has
been arrested on a charge of issuing
fraudulent checks.
Because they refused to recognize
the city form ofgovernment of Tono-
pah, action has been instituted by
the city authorities against seven of
the business firms to compel them to
pay their city licenses. 1t is under
stood that the Ease will be carried to
the Supreme Court.
j. Warren Stitton of Fallon has
been named by the State Tax Com
mission as a member of that board to
adjust the Humboldt County assessed
valuations which were raised last
year by the Commission and which
by stipulation will be left to arbitra-
ton.
Practically all of the wool supply
of Idaho, Nevada and Utah has been
shipped to the large woolbuyers in
the East who have offered as high as
80 cents. Some are holding out. ex-
pecting that there will be a marked
advance in prices. From Boise City
comes the report that a record sale
was made during the past week by
w. Monte Gwinn of that place, hav-
ing disposed of 1000 pounds at a
gilt edge figure.
According to reports that come
from Elko County. Utah homestead
ers are locating on the land being
sold in Elko County along the par
allel lines of the Southern and West
ern Pacific railways. The country is
being spitted with little cabins erect
ed by Utah and Idaho settlers who
with an eye to the future see the
great possibilities of this State.
According to figures compiled by
Rev. Hornaday as the result of an
investigation of the records at the
State penitentiary during the past Is
months there have been admitted to
the institution 157 convicts. OF this
number 80 were foreigners, the re-
naming number being American
born. Six of the 80 were natives of
Nevada, three of whom were Indians.
Of the Nevadans admitted one has
been released since the compiling of
the figures. having been granted a

Plot Frustrated


Last week it must have become
clear to the Germans that their
plot was frustrated. Thanks to
the timely decision of the Rus
sian chief of command, Warsaw
was evacuated promptly and with
thoroughness. The Germans will
find that the Polish capital is an
embarrassing luxury.
1t is quite natural that, under
such circumstances, the Kaiser
should dangle temptations before
the eyes of Russia. No doubt
the terms he offered seemed to
himself generous and magnani-
nous.
However, the emphatic rejec-
ton of his offer is q clipching
proof of the steadfastness and
.constancy of gallant Russia.
Further confirmation of the iron
determination of this empire to
fight to a finish is found in a re-
markable article contributed to
the Bourse Gazette by General
Mikhnevetch, head of the general
staff, who places it beyond all
doubt that Russia deliberately
adopted the policy of 1912 of re-
treating everywhere at ease and
in good order, leaving behind a
desert stripped of everything that
could be of advantage to the foe.
He says:
If they want to, the Germans
can come on further and further
until such time as Russia shall
have supplied her needs. They
will have to fight for every step
of gain, but the Cars armies
will not allow themselves to be
pinned down to a decisive battle
until their equipment is complete.

KAISER SAID TO HAVE
MADE PEACE OFFERS
Bourse Gazette Declares Emperor
William Made Proposals
Through the King
of Denmark

Petrograd, Aug. S.-From alb
solutely trustworthy sources the
Bourse Gazette learns that last
week Emperor William, through
the king of Denmark, offered the
Russians terms of peace. The
reply of the Gear to the Danish
monarch's letter was the categor-
ical declaration that at the pres
emit time there could be no ques-
ton of peace negotiations
Having failed to carry out her
original programme of crushing
France in the first few months OF
the war, Germany has now altered
her general plan and is ssraining
every nerve to eliminate Russia
from the number of her antagon-
lists in order to be able to con-
centrate all her energies against
the Allies in the west, when they
at last are in a position to cause
her serious inconvenience.
Germany had hoped, by the
momentum of her assault on both
TANKS of the Polish salient, to
cut off and utterly destroy the
Russian armies occupying it, and
thus reduce Russia to impotence.
No doubt her calculations we're
largely based on the idea that the
Russians would cling desperately
to Warsaw and Vistula fortresses,
and thus allow themselves to be
caught in a trap.

1t is acknou Iedged that this is an cx-
tremely difficult task. and many here
are not so certain that the President
will be able to accomplish it without an
open break with Germany. IL there Is
any ground for the fear that Germany

doubtedly be able to find II in the note

In handling this delicate situation much
hope is founded in the Presidents ability

plishes its purpose and a the same time
gives minimum Of offense.
People Want No War.
The President and the members of his
Cabinet Yesterday proceeded in their de-
liberations ON the confident theory that
the people of the United States do not
desire war with Germany. That was the
unanimous opinion of the President and
his advisers after a careful inveStiga-
ton into, the sentiment of the country.
Al the same time Il was clear to them
that the people OF the United States
were insistent upon firm action which
would maintain the self-respect Of the
United States in the eyes of the world.
1t was with these two facts in mind
that the general policy was evolved of
a middle course. which, il is hoped. will
satisfy the country and still fall short
OF being a cause for war.

sages at the White House.
The ma jority of the messages received
at the White House continue to indi-
cate that the American people do not
favor war with Germany, but that they
are insistent upon firm action which will
maintain the self respect of this govern
ment and safeguard the lives of 1s citi-

President Wilson surprised Washing
ton this morning by denying that he
had had the existing Lusitania crisis in
mind i'm his speech at PHI. ladelphia Mon
day night when he delivered the utter
ances which were accepted by his audi
ence as a promise of peace. The Presi-
dents statement vindicated the fnterpre-
tation placed on his speech by The Her
AIDS correspondent.
The President said that his statement
that there is such a thing as a ma
ton being so right that 1t does not need
to convince others by force that it is
right" was not put forward as an indica-
ton OF the policy this government in
tends to follow but solely as a general

1000 newly y-naturalized citizens whom he
was addressing.
