PIONEER GolDFIELD
SURVEYOR is DEAD

James H. Parks. pioneer of Gold
field and well known in Nevada and
Colorado as a mineral surveyor, died
at his residence on Columbia street
at 1915 Monday night Death re-
suited from heart failure, according
to the Tribune.
AS late as or o'clock he exc
cuted some official papers, as public
administrator, for Attorney Adams F.
Brown. He complained, however, of
a pain in his chest at that time
Mr.. Parks was a member OF the
order of Elks and while he did not
feel well enough to attend the charity
ball. yet he insisted that Mrs Parks
should attend, and about 10 o'clock
or little earlier, he called her by
phone and asked her to return al
quickly as possible. DR.. Davis was
summoned. but the patient was in 8
dying condition when he arrived and
probably realized when he called Mrs
Parks that his end was near.

GERMANS RUSH FRENCH TRENCHES
REPULSED WITH HEAVY LOSS LIFE

weg's note, probably with view TO
impressing the French by local
success
"The Germans brought together
about 10000 men from the best divi-
sions," adds the correspondent, "and
concentrated corresponding quantities
of artillery. The attack was preceded
by an intense bombardment lasting
for hours.
"The French were not taken by
surprise and received the assaulting
waves with a fire from their three
inch guns and machine guns, tearing
the ranks terribly. A barrier fire
thrown to the rear of the Germans
caught the supporting reserves.
1.-THE Germans reached the French
trenches over frontage of 300 yards
but an immediate counter attack en-
abled the French to regain the
trenches Only a few survivors OF
the attacking columns escaped. Most
of them were killed after stubborn
resistance.
"The Germans renewed the assault
an hour later without success. The
French heavy artillery dispersed the
reserves as they came up"

Continued from Page IL

by the allies, it was pointed out,
would not bind them to conference.
The German view of the next prob
able step is that meeting of repre-
sentatiyes of all of the belligerents
should be proposed for general dis
cussion of an approach to basis for
peace. German officials here repeat
edly have expressed their convic-
tions that once having gone that far
the movement would result in an
actual peace conference. The con-
viction of the allied diplomats. on the
other hand. is that Germany's terms.
as outlined by the German embassy
here and as indicated by the tenor of
the German chancellors speech, are
such that discussion would be fruitful
of no conclusion.
]. p. Morgan, head of the financial
agents of the allies in this country,
conferred with the British ambassa-
dor, Sir Cecil Spring Rice. and the
French ambassador. Jules Jusserand.
1t was said his visit was a conse-
quence of his recent conference in
Europe with King George and some
OF the British statesmen.
The belief grew stronger today
that, If in forwarding the proposals,
the American government did not
accompany them with more than a
formal note of transmission, it prob
ably later in some other way would
indicate its interest in having peace
re-established as soon as possible.
1t would be within the range OF
diplomatic courtesy for the United
States to go all the way from a mere
formal transmission of the belliger
ents' notes without comment or sug
gestion to an actual discussion with
an expression of the point of view OF
this country.
1t has been suggested that where
three different parties are bearing the
same message to ten different nations
and in some cases even bearing ths
same message from three differen
sources to the same government, 4
might be best to arrange for som,
simultaneous method of presentation
which would put the official informa
4 ton in the hands of all belligerent
i at exactly the same time.
Also. it is thought in some quarter
i that while each of the three nation
should preserve its own liberty @
action, ii would be well in genera
) way for them to agree as nearly a
! possible on the exact method {
v transmission.
The German note asked that tn
United States "be SO good" as to sen
it on to France, Great Britain, Japa
Russia, Serbia and Rumania
