Her commander contends she is an

Admiral Says England Cannot Put
an Exclusive Blockade On Germany

Then | asked him how long he
thought the war would last
Until we are victorious" was the
immediate reply. The Allies have
said repeatedly that the war will con-
tinue until Germany is defeated un-
til her business is forever ruined and
her international influence destroyed.
The war will last until the Allies
learn that they cannot accomplish
their purposes. That may be long
time"
"A year or two" suggested.
"A long time,' he repeated
| asked him about the submarines
and especially if it were true that
more than fifty had been lost.
Not hall that many, nor near
hal" he replied quickly. The Eng
lish think that because they laid nets
and mines our submarines are being
trapped. Nothing could be more un-
true. More than one submarine has
gone through those nets without
damage

Will Meet In Salt Lake TO Devise
Means for Radiance of Coyotes

Numerous letters are being recelV-
ed at the governors office from Pc
sons throughout the state asking for
emp oynent in discriminating the coy
ote. There seems to be a misunder-
standing concerning this employment
When the work begins it will be un-
der the control Of the United States
government and either the Pubic
Health Service department OF which
Surgeon General Rupert Blue is the
lead, or the Biological Survey COM
mission of which F. r.. Sans OF Win

will direct the work and employ the
men.
No definite time as to when the
work will begin can be set. The ar
rargement calls for cooperation Of
the states of Utah, Montana, Oregon,
Idaho, California and Nevada with
the United States government, and
each state is expected to provide a
pro rata fund according to its size and
interest in the matter Nevada has
made the preliminary arrangements
for a fund Of about 100000 in this
way: The cattle interests are to con-
tribute $4,000; sheep men, $4,000;

A meeting OF representatives from

from Nevada are: w. H. McGill. J.

ton as is necessary to lay before CON
gress through the senators and con
grcssmen of the states interested, the
necessity for immediate action and
making an appropriation of al amount
equal to or more than the combined
amount raised by these six states
Such a fund, when available, will be
of some practical benefit and the

appropriation in its first appropria-
ton bill as there will be no opposi-
