JOFFRE TELLS WHY
GERMANS MUST LOSE
BY Pae. and IntI News Service.


PARIS, Dec. 18.-Senor Joaquin Sal
vat ella, a well-known Catalan deputy,
was recently received by General
Joffre. and has given Barcelona
journal an interesting account of the
great Frenchman.
"Joffre," says the Spanish deputy,
resides in little chalet in the midst
Of garden. The headquarters and
officers of the staff are in hotel a
quarter of a mile away. Joffre's house
Is very simple and modest. Nothing
would lead one to suppose that 1t is
inhabited by the man who commands
one of the mightest armies ever
known. No sentinels at the door, no
hurrying to and fro of chiefs and Of
ficers."
I'VE have passed through anxious
days, il Is true" remarked Joffre. I'VE
had against us almost the whole OF
the German forces, but now we form
an impossible barrier. ] do not say
that one of our trenches cannot fall
into the enemy's hands or that we may
not lose a minor engagement; but all
would be recovered within twenty-four
hours.
I'VE shall not retire from our pres
ent positions; 1t is impossible. We
are the stronger today. On II Is not
my convictions alone, II is that of the
opposing German army also. We shall
advance methodically and without pre-
cipitation. | confess l am a miser
when it is a question of the blood and
treasure of the republic; but we shall
advance"
"The solution of the war, say what
they will, Is here, in our lines. 1t is
here that it will be brought to an end
| At bottom the Germans think so too
and they prove It by opposing two
thirds of their electives to us. Ger
| many Is strong. but her strength Is not
incxhaustible. The extent of her fronts
will necessarily impair her solidity.'

1876 ASSESSMENT
. 80 PER CENT BASIS

Preparatory to its meeting in Jan.
uary the tax commission is compiling
assessment valuations for 1916 on in
tercounty and intrastate public util-
tiles. At the January meeting the
representatives Of the public utilities
will appear before the commission
to protest the proposed assessments in
case they are not satisfactory and to
ask for corrections in the case OF er-
roneous appointments, says the
Reno Gazette.
The commission has sent to all as
SCISSORS copies of resolution passed
recently by the commission as a re.
ult of action by the board OF equal
ization. The resolution directs as.
SCISSORS 10 place lands in six general
classifications, cultivated, meadow,
pasture, irrigable or arabic, grazing
and mountain. The cultivated land is
to be divided into four classifcations
Assessors are directed to place a valu.
alton equal to 80 per cent of the &C.
tual cash value in arriving at the acre,
age price for assessment purposes,
such prices and valuations TO be sub.
jcct TO equalization by the various
county boards of equalization and the
state board of equalization.
L. F. Adamson, secretary of the
commission, said yesterday tia
sessment on an 80 per cent valuation
basis will bring the assessed valuation
in 1916 up to approximately $173,.
100000 as against $152,000,000 this
year under an assessment on a 20 per
cent valuation basis. The percentage
increase in 1916 over 1915 will be 143

WAR WILL LAST
TILL AFTER CHRISTMAS
BY Pae. and IntT News Service.

ABOARD OSCAR II (By Wireless),
Dec. 1S.-The peace party aboard the
Ieace ship has abandoned hope Of hav.
ing the war stopped before Christmas,
which seemed to be the expectation
before the ship left port in New York.
So the warning combatants will have
to continue their fighting for some
time longer. This includes the men
in the trenches, and also the fighters
in the Balkans.
Meanwhile, those aboard the peace
ship, which Is today approaching
Christiana. are devoting their efforts
towards restoring harmony on board
their own ship, but there is only a
short truce patched up between the
fighters on board the Oscar. Each
party to the conflict on the ship is
keeping close watch on the others
trenches.
The Rev. Charles F. Aked of San
Francisco and other regulars" whose
condemnation OF President Wilson's
preparedness program has caused a
split in the ranks, still holds the up-
per hand.
They selected the executive commit.
tee which posted rules for conduct on
the peace ship-including a ban on
card playing. In fact some of the reg.
ulars tried to inflict curfew proposal
on the party, but went down to de.
feat.
Whether 8. S. Mcclure and other
insurgents" against the Aked combi.
nation will quit at Christiania can.

Dispatches state that the Ford ship
was taken into port at Kirkwall by
the British authorities, and that the
ship sailed from there on Thursday
night. The British government how
ever, required guarantees that parts
of the cargo must be turned over to
the English government before the
ship returns to America.

given his passports. Austria, he says,
does not want a break in friendship
with the United States, but she can
not maintain her position as a first
class power and accept the humiliatng
demands that America is making OF
her.
Charge d Affairs Zweidenek held a
conference with Lansing this morn
ing, and both men seem to feel that
Austria and the United States can
not continue friendly relations.
A break with Austria will not be
unwelcome by the United States. Vir-
tually every Austrian diplomat and
consul In the United States has be-
come involved in plots. Dumba has
been recalled. and Zweidenek Is in
volved in passport frauds. If there
is break with Austria, all Of her dip
lomats here will leave the country
and the atmosphere will be purged OF
some people who have been very OBJ
noxious during the war.
President Wilson starts on his wed
ding trip tonight, and he has planned
ahead for the different eventualities
which may occur. Every effort will be
made 10 handle whatever may come
up, but If 1t should become necessary

SHOOTING SCRAPE
HERE LAST NIGHT

a short time before midnight last
night a shooting scrape occurred In
the Elko Hotel bar room, when Mike
Macheli narrowly missed losing his
life.
Macheli, who recently served term
in the county Jail. entered the bar
room shortly before the shooting
where several men were playing cards
for drinks and picked up the pack.
An argument ensuCd between him and
Manuel Montrose and angry words
were exchanged. According to report.
Macheli pulled off his coat and start
ed for the door. Montrose followed,
and near the door Macheli turned,
when Montrose drew a 38.calibre liver
Johnson pistol and fired twice. One
shot ploughed a furrow along the top
of Machelis head causing scalp
wound. After the shooting Montrosc
gave his gun to Il friend and went to
bed. Today he went to the sheriff's
office and gave himself up. The Of.
ficers were unable to locate him last
night.
Justice of the Peace Castle today
fixed Montrosc's bond at $4,000 which
was quickly secured with +. Dotta and
Joe Tratini as sureties.
The defendant has always borne a
good name here where he has worked
at various jobs fo- several years.

GOVERNMENT WILL
STAMP OUT RABIES

The following bulletin has been is.
sued from the United States Forest
Service headquarters at Ogden, Utah
"The department Of agriculture is
taking action, through the Biological.
Survey and the Forest Service, to com.
bat a serious wave OF rabies Infection
of wild and domestic animals that is
in danger of becoming widespread In
the far west. The fact that the ex
tensive dissemination Of the disease is
taking place through the agency of
coyotes makes the situation a difficul,
one to meet.
Outbreaks Of rabies among coyotes
have been noted from time to time for
several years in parts of Washington,
Oregon and northern Idaho, and the
Forest Service under took last year to
aid In bringing the disease under con-
troll by employing hunters to make
war on coyotes In the national forests
Of some OF the infected localities.
Since, however. the coyotes breed in
the foothills and around the outskirts
of the forests, a more comprehensive
campaign is called for.
THE eradication of coyotes in
sparsely settled or rough couStry is
said to be an exceedingly difficult
task. Inasmuch as these animals are
always a source of considerable losses
to the livestock industry OF the west
Congress last year provided a special
fund of $4,000 to be spent by the
Biological Survey for the eradication
of predatory animals both in the ma.
tional forests and on the public do,
main, and from this fund a special al.
lotment has now been made to provide
for fighting the rabies.
"The disease arst appeared in parts
of eastern Oregon and Washington
and northern Idaho, in a region sur.
rounded by natural barriers which
tended to confine the outbreak. Do
mestic animals and human beings
were bitten, and q good deal of alarm
was manifested by residents of the in.
fected districts, many of whom feared
for the safety OF their children on
the roads to and from school. The
disease is now reported as having ex.
tended into northern Nevada and
LOrthern California, whence 1t may
easily be carried far.
"The Forest Service, the Biological
Survey and the state boards Of health
are working together to meet the sit.
uation in California. Modoc and Las.
en- counties have been put under
quarantine by the state board, which
has appointed forest rangers inspec.
tors in Modoc county. Funds have
been provided by the Biological Sur.
vey for the employment Of additional
men and the purchase Of traps and
poison. The public will be enlisted in
the campaign, which will be led by
the Biological Survey officials and the
forest rangers"
