IN the opinion Of officials here, re-
several international factors which
have lead TO much diplomatic cores
pondence and much misunderstanding
on the part of the public
Que Of these Is the question that
now remains unanswered as to the
right of neutral state to ship to
German or her allies any goods not
contraband of war. Once n blockade
was declared there could be no legal
question of the right of the block
aiding fleet to keep everything out of
the enemy's ports
All doubt as TO the application of
the doctrine of ultimate destination
also might be removed so far as il
concerns goods destined for Germany
through q neutral SKATE.
On the other hand declaration Of
blockade would not warrant, Off
cials believe, interference with Amer
lean trade with neutral European
states, provided the goods were not
consigned ultimately to Germany or
Austria. Under the orders in coun-
ell such goods are now being detain-
ed and commandeered
The Forthcoming American note to
Great Britain on contrahand is e.
pected to talks up this question at
length. 1t will vigorously assert the
right OF neutral states to trade un-
molcsted among themselves and the
prospective change in the British pol
ley is not expected to modify in any
wise that stand.
So far the State department has
had no official information regarding
the reported purpose of Great Br-
tiah to abandon the orders in coun-
ell in favor to the blockade

EFFECTIVE BLOCKADE,
OF GERMANY VITAL

aA'iiuoit, Jhii, Iu'--M uCn space is de-
voted in the Sunday Times to the
question of the blockade A member
of parliament, Carlyon Bellairs, in q
two-column article, accuses the for
eign office 0f henG responsible for the
failure of the blockade by showing
too much consideration for neutrals.
The Sunday Times in editorial COM
ment, says
THE blockade of Germany can only
become an effective weapon when we
exert the power we already possess,
and decline to allow neutral nations to
receive more than II rational allow

requirements Of previous years. IL 1t
be said that, by putting stringency
into being. we hurt the feelings or
interests OF neutral nations our an

the bclligerent nations in the past, is

RICHARD JOSE AT
NIXON TONIGHT

Pierce Kingsley, who wrote and
produced "Silver Threads Among the
Cold" with Richard ]. Jose featured,
has a piece of telling business that is
entirely original with him-where
prayer book carried in the inside
pocket of a character saves his life
from a bullet which is imbedded in
the prayer book.
The story of Silver Threads" was
written before the European war
broke out and now a similar incident
where a prayer book carried by a
German soldier saved the latter's
life in exactly the same manner that
Mr.. Kingsley wrote and pictured. APP
parently the books are the exact size,
so the bullet holes in both incidents
are in the same place-both imbedded
for about quarters of the pages.
Silver Threads Among the Cold
will be presented at the Nixon opera
house this evening, when Mr.. Jose
will appear in person. Doors open at
1880 O'Clock, performance begins at
8 Is sharp. Admission 25 and so cents
with no reserved seats. One show

HEARING ON PRIM-
AIRY LAW SATURDAY

An alternative writ of prohibition,
issued out of the Supreme Court of
Nevada, directing the county clerks of
Washoe and Churchill counties to at
once cease carrying out the provisions
of the primary election act passed by
the 1915 legislature, or else appear in
the Supreme Court on Saturday, July
%. and show cause why such act
should not be declared unconstitution-
al. was served upon the two clerks in
question yesterday morning. The writ
was accompanied by copy of the
complaint recently filed in the Su-
preme Court which seeks to have the
act declared unconstitutional.
Inasmuch as the writ permits the
clerks of the two counties, against
whom the suit is directed, to either
suspend further preparatory work un-
der the primary election act or else
appear in court next Saturday and de-
fend the present act. the matter of
carrying out the provisions of the
act will not be interrupted at this
time in all probability. In fact, the
various county clerks of the state
and particularly those of Churchill
and Washoe counties, have already
given orders for the printing of cleo
tion supplies, have caused the election
proclamation to be published, and
otherwise have proceeded with the
terms of the primary act as it now
stands

JUNE PRODUCTION
AT ELKO PRINCE

Eight bars of gold-silver bullion,
containing 1900 pounds have been
shipped to the San Francisco mint by
the Elko Prince, the product for June
of the mill The bullion is said to be
worth about $3.50 per ounce, which
gives value of more than 100000
to the lot. Three mills, the Elko
Prince, Rex and Coot's mill, are run
ming on ore.
A fine body of ore has been opened
by lessees in the Gold Circle Queen
mine, which lies between the Eastern
Star and Esmeralda mines in the
southeastern part of the district The
ore was struck in extending the south
drift from the main shaft on the 1876
foot level. Eight feet or ore is report
ed to give returns OF SIG to SIS per
ton with four feet of $50 ore on the
footwall. The ore is being milled at
the Coot mill a short distance away.
The property was visited last Satur-
day by L. G.. Campbell of Winnemucca,
secretary-t of the company.
Paul Ehlers has 1000 tons of SIS ore
in his June Bell lease which will be
milled as soon as connection is made
with the crosscut driven from the
main workings of the Elko Prince
mine to the June Bell vein.

owners of the Gold Crown property.

claims lying between Midas and the

ROBERTS GETS APPROPRIA-
TI0N FOR ELKO BUILDING

In a telegram to the Free Press,
Representative E. E. Roberts at Wash
ington informs us that through his
efforts he has succeeded in getting the
committee on public buildings and
grounds to report favorably to the
House an item of $4,000 for the pur-
chase of a site and the erection of a
federal building at Elko.
Mr.. Roberts is to be congratulated
on his success in having this item in
cluded and as the bill usually passes
as it comes from the committee. Elko
can rest reasonably satisfied that the
appropriation will be made When we
realize that the House is Democratic
and antagonistic to the wants of its
Republican members, the credit is
more pronounced and shows that
Roberts has considerable influence in
Washington
Appeal after appeal has gone from
Elko to the Nevada representatives in
Washington in the past. and the Dem
ocratic senators have ignored us, and
it remained for the Republican mem
ber of the lower house to get us what
has been needed here for many years.
Two years ago Mr.. Roberts prom
ised to get Elko this appropriation
and since his return to the House he
has worked increasingly for the fed
eral building. but up to the present
time failed to get the Elko building
included. Other towns in the state, OF
less size and importance have been
given buildings and to Roberts the
credit is due.-Free Press.

SFLF-SUPPORTINC
STUDENTS AT U. N.

1t is important for all worthy and
earnest young men and women to
know that the president and faculty
of the University of Nevada, assisted
by the board of regents, are putting
forth every effort to make it possible
for every young man and woman TO
secure a higher education.
Through the efforts of the authori-
ties at the University. loan funds have
been secured which now amount to
some $4,000. The interest upon this
fund is available to students each
year who show themselves worthy
and who have been recommended by
their friends to this assistance.
The University likewise takes care
of its students who do not care to
borrow money, by supplying them
with opportunities for work, both
within the college, the city and state.
While the registration of the Univer-
sity for the year beginning July /,
1915, to June 30 1916. in all its de-
partments was Gil, of which AL were
regular course students, it is safe to
say that at least so per cent of the
latter were earning their way, in
whole or in part, either through work.

and grounds. dining hall and dormi-
tories, laboratories and offices, or on
its farms, or were supplied with pos
tions through University influence
with the business men and others in
the city of Reno. Figures are not now
available to show what has been ex-
pended for such labor this year. but
an indication of the policy of the re-
gents is seen in the fact that during
the latest biennial there was paid to
students working for the University
in one capacity or another in its va
rious departments. as follows:
