KEROSENE MAY DIS
PLACE GASOLINE

That kerosene will soon supplant
gasoline as a means of propulsion for
automobiles. and especially for large
commercial trucks, is believed by
some oil producers. They agree that
while carbon of course would clog
the cylinders from the use of this
cheaper oil. it could be cleaned out
nightly and the substitution of the
cheaper oil would be a big saving to
the consumer. 1t was at first thought
that none other than 70 degree gaso-
line could be used by automobiles.
Some one tried IS degree gasoline
and it worked and was looked upon
as a wonderful thing. Gradually
the degree decreased until 80 per
cent of the gasoline used in automo-
biles is less than SO degrees, says an
exchange. Kerosene is only as de-
grees. just II or Is points lower than
this popularity used gasoline. 1t
would be harder, it is admitted, to
start a kerosene propelled machine,
but once it was under way the engine.
it is believed, would run without
trouble. Kerosene is a much strong
er and more powerful oil than gaso-
line. the experts declare, and they
say it would give a machine a better
kick" 1t is not thought that it
would be practical to use kerosene
now in pleasure cars, but lit is believed
that it would be excellent for motor
truck usage.

Ruby valleys in Elko County report
an immense number of ducks on the

are now covering lands that have

a number of years and the water

LATEST MEXICAN WAR news

The SENTINEL received the follow
ing Mexican war news over the tele-
phone at noon to-day:
A general revolt is expected in
Carranza's army at Juarez. and an
outbreak is expected by officials by
Monday. His soldiers are dissatis-
fled with the pay of four cents per
day, and are also ia need of more
food and clothing.
Villa is said to be located at La
Boquilla. IS miles southeast of Sato-
va. The bandit spent two days at
Santa Rosalie and then continued
westward and was reported north of
Parral.
The Mexican government has not
given the United States permission
to use the railroad, General Aguilar
declaring there is no understanding
with the United States regarding the
sending of supplies and troops over
the railroad.
General Pershing in a delayed report
to General Funston says the Ameri-
can troops are moving south toward
Parral.
Crisis In Mexico Impending
A telegram sent out from Ell Paso,
Texas, on April 6 by the Information
al News Service (Hearst), says:
First chief Carranza will demand
the withdrawal of all American
troops from Mexico within SO hours
according to information said tt
have been received by General Gavi
ra at Juarez.
Tonight it is stated that orders
are to be issued that all American
south of the border. both militar.
and civil. will be treated as enemie
if the troops do not withdraw
Similar notices are said to have beef
sent to all Carranza garrison com
manders in northern Mexico.
For three days the American secre
agents of the State Department hav
reported that Mexican arms ant
ammunition will be issued to native
living in the district through which
the American lines of communicated
extend.
Further ~verifcation that Carranz
is contemplating some move that wi
precipitate a crisis is found in tn
attitude of the Mexican official con
sol, Garcia, who in conversation wit
three newspapermen made the fla
statement that the American troop
would be withdrawn Immediately
The enthusiasm which prompted hi
comment was predicated on a tele
gram received from Minister of Wa

chance was lost, but the defeat Of the
idealists of a century ago does not
prove that there is no hope for their
successors. 1t is quite imaginable
that the war will leave the peoples
of Europe so DESTROYS of ending the
old order that kings and war lords
will not dare oppose their will.
II must be said, however. that the
enforcement of peace cannot be an
end in itself. Machinery may he de-
vised to reduce the risk of frivolous
wars by imposing delay, but if moth
ing is done to remove the causes of an
irrepressible conflict it will sooner or
later break out The present war
for example, is from one point of
view a struggle between the landed
and the landless nations, the satisfied
and the unsatisfied. America, with its
broad acres is a satisfied nation, and
its interests and to a great extent is
sympathies, lie with nations of the
same class, which either through a
declining population or the possession
of imperial domains prefer peace and
the status quo. 1t is always easier to
get on with those who have all they
want. and nations or men easily fall
into protective association with others
in like circumstances.
But it goes without saying that the
peace league which President Wilson
suggests cannot be merely land-own-
ers' protective association aimed at
nations which lack lands, but are
strong in men and in energy. Peace
cannot be merely a petrifaCtion of
things as they are; it must provide
for the peaceful redress of all those
grievances which cause wars. If ma
tons, for example, cannot fight for
economic causes, it follows that no ma
ton can be free to press its economic
advantages. If a densely populated
nation cannot expand by force then
| its people must be free to go where
they will. If commercial wars are to
end, no nation can be wholly free to
! fix tariffs. If colonies are not to be
| taken by force, then the nations with
a surplus of raw materials must be
storehouses for all The elimination
| of force implies the provision of a
| substitute for force, and a restriction
of freedom to fight involves some vol
untary surrender of other powers on
| the part of the nations concerned.
| The arrangement may fall short of
confederation, but it can hardly stop
with a mere underwriting of peace
insurance.
For all these reasons, it is quite
impossible, as the president says, to
express the ideas which he advocated
IN the form of a program. The pro-
gram must depend on the fortunes OF
this war, the terms of settlement, and
the temper of Europe Only dispo-
sition on both sides to seek a reduc-
ton of ornaments and a better way
of adjusting disputes and rectifying
wrongs would justify the United
States in departing from its policy OF
isolation. While Europe is divided
into armed camps, this country cannot
take place in either camp.

Wilbur Jones had in him literary
fervor that was seeking an outlet. He
met Maud Erskine. 1t was springtime.
They were together In the country
with nothing to do. Jones was feeling
for a literary career. Persons fnocu-
lated with the literary fever usually
show the symptoms in verse. Jones.
mstaking his literary ebullitions for
love, veered between letters and poetry,
both addressed to Miss Erskine.
Miss Erskine. not being able to
throw an X ray upon Jones heart. nat
urally supposed these illusions to be
genuine lovemaking. Had Jones not
felt them to be such himself they
would not have been as commendabie
as they We're.
Miss Erskine was not beauty. out
while Jones was writing verses and
love letters to her he considered her at
least comeIy. She sang ballads, and
to Jones her voice was melodious.
Jones became separated from her
for period of six months. When they
met again he was surprised to see a
woman very plain Of face and figure,
and as to voice, hers was like the
| wind whistling through telegraph
wires. though not so musical. He
would not have believed that he could
have been infatuated had it not been
for the letters and verses. She read
some of them to him. They were very
good as literary productions; they
! bespoke genuine love. But 1t seemed
to the author that they must have e1-
! pressed the love Of some one else.
Jones decided that what had been
evolved must be permitted to die out
| as gradually as it had come. He went
to another city. wrote Miss Erskine
commonplace letters further and fur
Their apart and finally stopped writing
| to her altogether.
| Jones literary attainments became
known in the place Of his sojourn, and
| he was pointed out as an author. In
| order to divest himself entirely of Miss
| Erskine he adopted a nom de plume
and a nom de hide in one. He became
| Alonzo Poindexter. One who is at
tempting to hide from a sheriff or a
woman is always looking out for dis
covery. Jones was no exception.
| When Miss Philomena Andrews
heard that Mr.. Jones Poindexter was
an author she secured an introduction.
"Mr Jones'" she said, why do you
authors hide under assumed names%
How did you know my name Is

possible and later asked one of his

Crippled Prisoners, Wars Wrecks, q
Pitiable Pilgrimage.

Stockholm, Sweden, May 20 (by
mail. 1.-The great task of exchanging
wounded prisoners between Russia
and Germany throughout Sweden will
be continued throughout the summer.
The exchange applies only to those
prisoners totally unfit ever to serve
again. One glimpse at trainload Of
these miserable war derelicts leaves
no doubt as to their disability. Miss
ing legs, missing arms, sightless eyes,
shattered jaws, twisted spines, and
here and there the CLASSY stare which
tells its own story of a burned-out
brain-these are the evidences the
Swedish people see of the war that
surrounds them.
The first trainload started north
from Trelleborg with the burden of
230 physical and mental deficients-a
CHASTITY assortment of parts of men.
AS they hobbled or were carried down
the gangplank of the hospital steamer
at Trelleborg the procession seemed
| like veritable outpouring from the
depths Of an inferno.
The debarkatiOn from this strange
ship of broken men had been under
way for ten minutes perhaps when
/ there suddenly appeared among the
human fragments at the foot of the
gangway a man who had been entire
ly lost sight of as he made his way to
shore. Both of his legs were gone and
his head scarcely showed above the
gangWay rails as he swung the rem
nants of his body along between two
stubby little clutches. 1t soon devel-
oped, however, that he was not alone
in his misery. for there were several
others like him.
1t seemed that the crutch process
sion would never end. for the doctors
said the number of leg cases" was
unusually high in this first shipment
of human wreckage home TO Russia.
One of the leg cases was a boy of Is.
His left leg was gone we'll above the
knee, but with the deYterity of youth
he had learned to hop along with only
one crutch and had thrown the other
away as so much impedimenta
But soon the arm cases" and the
hand cases" were very much in evil
