The loss of life was nearly as great
as on the Lusitania, bu; the victims
were soldiers-enemiG:s of the Teutons

The fact that the TeutonS can make
Il successful attack of this sort rcncwS
our wonder that they should ever have
diverted their U-boatS to any other
form of activity. All their assaults
on the merchant shipping of enemies
and neutrals has utterly failed TO Grip

have hardly been worth the U-boars
and crews lost. And as by-produCi .
of lawlcss and piratical campaign.
Germany and Austria have forfeited
the respect and sympathy OF the civil
lized world.
1t is an appalling price TO pay for
the little advantage gained. And if
they now persist in attacking all ships
armed for defense. they will pay
still greater price in Worldwide con-
demnation. with little corresponding
gain.
Why, then, do the Teutons not re.

REVIEW OF WOOL

The New York Daily Trade Record
Of March 9. contains comprehensive
review Of wool conditions in the
United States and has the following TO
say regarding Nevada:

Reports from correspondents in the
larger wool growing countries Of Ne

the state this year in excess of 5000
900 pounds. statement from the
Reno Commercial club estimates the
state clip at 10000. 900 pounds. giving
the clip last year as S.156.OO0 pounds.
These figures are far in excess of the
government figures. which were D.
$4,000 pounds. as noted in the above
table.
+NNN iSSS are lnp govern
ment's own figures. the Department
of Agriculture estimating that on Jan
uary l. 1916. there were 1852. 900
sheep in Nevada, and the estimate for
January l, 1915, was precisely the F..
same. Comparing this figure with the /.
number of fleeces shorn in 1915. would
indicate that only half of Nevada's /
sheep are fit for shearing This is an
unusually small proportion, especially f.
for state like Nevada. which is not a
feeder state. most of the sheep being /!
on the range and presumably wool f,
producers.
Wool men generally have accepted
the governments figures and predict
clip of the same size this year. Ger
tainly, none OF the reports indicates
that Nevada has lost any sheep in the
last year.

ARMY AND NAVY
PREPARE FOR WAR
Both Departments Being Put In Shape
in Event Of Break with
Germany or Mexico.
BY Pae. and lntI News Service.

WASHINGTON, AprI 24.-Follow-
ing a cancellation of all army leaves
of absence, Secretary Daniels this
morning cancelled the leaves OF alb
sence OF 43 officers OF the United
States navy, and announced that no
more leaves of absence would be
granted in the navy. This is regarded
as evident that the United States Is
taking no more chances of being
caught mapping in the event of break
with either Germany or Mexico.
Although the administration hopes
for an amicable adjustment OF the Ger
man situation and a smoothing over of
the Mexican complications, the army
and navy are feverishly preparing for
immediate service.
The officials are apprehensive of
conditions on the east coast Of Mexico
and are making an effort TO secure an
exodus of the American citizens in
that region.
1t is also known that everything is
In readiness to call out selected units
of the militia the moment It becomes
certain that reinforcements are neces.
sary.
Much depends upon the outcome OF
the controversy with Germany. Army
officers state that settlement OF the
German troubles will release about 13,.
500 men of the coast artillery service
for the border. and then they believe
that real effort will be made to paci.
fy Mexico and establish a stable gov

TWO BOYS RUN
down BY BICYCLE

A very unfortunate accident occur
red last night about $3.50 O'Clock on
Court street, near the foot of the hill
John Steninger, son Of E. NJ. Stem
niger. was coasting down The hill on
his bicycle and just in front of the

into crowd OF children who were

ents. John did not have 4 light. and
as the night was dark he Was not seen
until he crashed into the crowd. He
first struck Danny Andrea and then he
struck Charley Sewell. Both boys

which required four stitches, and the
Sewell boy received badly wrenched

going like flash when it crashed into
the crowd.

WASHINGTON ALIVE
TO RABIES MENACE

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 22.-
The appropriation by congress in the
Urgent Deficiency act of $4,000 for
the control Of rabies among coyotes in
the West has enabled the Bureau Of
Biological Survey of the o. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture. to put five in.
spectors and 100 hunters In the field,
In addition to its existing organization.
These men are to serve in Oregon, Ne.
vada, California and Idaho, and along
the border in Utah. In addition to
these measures these measures the
Nevada Rabies commission has signi.
fled its intention of expending q large
sum OF money under recommendations
made by the Biological Survey, and il
Is probable that other states will do
likewise. SLockInen and ranch owners
are cooperating by furnishing horses
and forage free of charge. The i'm
portance Of preventing the rpread of
the disease Is fully realized.
The coyote has always been a pest
TO st jckmcn, but with the advent of
rabies it has become a serious danger
to persons as we'll as to stock. In
many sections OF Oregon, Idaho and
California and Nevada, parents are
afraid to send their children to school
unless they are well guarded, and
there is always danger that domestic
logs will be bitten by the mad animals
and spread the disease to the families
OF their owners. In Oregon and Ne
yada over 100 persons have received
the Pasteur treatment for rabies with
in the past three years and stock in
terests have suffered severely. In one
feed lot In Wfnnemucca, Nevada, a
single coyote caused the loss of 23
mead OF three-year-old beef steers.
Although this is regarded as the
most serious, 1t Is not the first out
break OF rabies among coyotes in the
western states. In 1911 the disease
made its appearance in Wallowa coun-
ty, oregon, and spread southwark.
The infestation still continues. In the
spring OF 1915 the disease made its
tlrst appearance in northern Nevada,
and at the present time southwestern
Idaho, northeastern California, and ap-
proXimatnly the northern half of Ne
vada are infested.
The normal coyote is cunning hut
cowardiy and has particular aversion
TO the scent OF human being. When
stricken with rabies, however, II does
not hesitate TO snap at everything in
reach anG TO attack men as well as
dogs and cattle. In this condition it
does not eat and consequently cannot
be killed by poisoned bats.
In controlling the disease the Blu.
reau of Biological Survey purposes
first TO prevent its spread by killing
Off the coyotes along the borders of
the infested districts. After this has
been done, the infested areas them
selves can efCcctually be rid of the
amin ns and The disease stamped out.
