FROM FOOTMAN WAR SEcRE-
TARY

"The best man in England for
secretary of war" That was the
tribute paid yesterday to General
Robertson by one of the wisest Eng
lishmen in Washington, as he dis
cussed the vacancy caused by the
death of Kitchener. The cables in
dictate a very universal opinion in
England that the present chief Of
staff should be advanced to the head
of the British land forces.
Some years ago the American
newspapers gave a great deal Of
space I'd the photographs and per-
sonal descriptions Of a Boston
kitchen maid who married an Eng
lishman Of title. To gain the crest
Of royalty by marriage is perhaps an
easier way than by the long path of
hard endeavor which Gen. Sir Will
lam Robertson has travelled; but the
Boston girl and the probable sue
cessor to Kitchener both started
from the same humble surroundings.
At eighteen he was pantryman,
and later footman, for Wiltshire
squire. Before firing of the work he
enlisted in the English army. What
the kitchen had not offered the mill
tary service did, and, fired by ambi-
ton, the recruit began study for pro-
motion. It took him ten years to
prepare for the examinations which
resulted in his gaining a commission
as second lieutenant in the Third
Dragon Guards.
AS an officer he determined to
make himself noticed, and he sue
ceeded. He was assigned to India.
England offers special inducements
to officers assigned to the Orient if
they will learn the language Of the
natives. Robertson offered his ma
tive "munshi," or teacher, one-Guar-
ter of the reward when he should
have rendered him proficient, with
the natural result in case of both
teacher and pupil.
No man with such persistence
could remain unnoticed. In the
South African campaign he was
commended by both Roberts and
Kitchener. He acquired both French
and German, and studied military
textbooks and authorities in both
languages to such purpose that
when, in 1910, he was placed in
charge of the Army Staff College, he
amazed his fellow officers by his
technical knowledge. AS quarter
master general he had much to do
with the preparation of the expedi-
tionary force which went to France
at the beginning of the war, and
when, in December last, he, was made
chief of staff Kitchener was relieved
of detail duties which left him free
for the larger work necessary to be
accomplished.
AS chief Of staff Robertson dis
pensed with the ornamental officers
with which the bureau had been en-
numbered, divorced society and So
cial diversion from the war office,
and made efficiency the watchword
of his department.
AS successor to "K of K" Robert
son promises all that the office re-
quires of knowledge, ability, person
atty, and popular esteem.

STATE UNIVERSITY ROMANCE
CULM|NATES IN A WEDDING

comes the Bride of Lester p. Har-
riman Last Wednesday.

The following concerning Lester
p. Hartman, Churchill county boy
and the son of our esteemed fellow
townsman, E. S. Hartman, appears
in last Thursdays Reno Gazette:
A romance that had its inception
at the university of Nevada in 1912
eliminated in the marriage of Miss
Alice Van Leer and l.. p Hartman
at the home of the bride in Elko
yesterday afternoon. The ceremony
was attended by the parents of the
bride and few friends and was per-
formed by Rev. Mr.. Price of the
Episcopal church.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Hartman are
well known and have a host of
friends in Reno. They were both
graduated from the university with
the class of 1914, and while attend
ing college were among the stu
dents most active workers. Mr..
Hartman was a member of T. H. P.
". nity. Ndo Sldi OD
the football team for four years,
was major of the cadet battalion
and held several other student body
Offices. He got his degree from the
agricultural college and now has
charge of the creamery at Minden.
His bride was a member of Delta
Delta Delta Sorority and received a
degree from the college of arts and
science and a normal school certifl-
cate. She has taught school for the

TAXPAYERS TO ORGANIZE
A COUNTY ASSOCIATION
Meeting Called for Next Saturday to
Discuss Matter of Importance to
Property Owners.

There will be a mass meeting of
the citizens of Churchill county next
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock in
the Courthouse for the purpose of
organizing a County Tax Association
to regulate valuations ON property
and the proper presentation of coun-
ty tax matters before the State Tax
Commission.
Tax associations are already in
existence in about one half the coun-
ties of the State and as soon as the
State is fully organized it is the in
tention to form federation of all
the counties into State Associa-
tion.
Wherever counties have repre-
sentative organization the Board of
the State Commission will hold ses-
sions at the county seats and adjud-
ucate all matters of controversy,
thus doing away with the expensive
and costly system of private repre-
sentation before the Board, which
in many cases is impracticable, es-
pecially to the smaller taxpayers,
who have no recourse except to pay
whatever tax is levied, owing to the
expense of contesting valuations.
This is a matter in which every
farmer in the valley is vitally inter-
ested and it behooves all to be pres
ent at the meeting next Saturday.
