Safety First In London.

III. Fl. Kohlsaat, the Chicago pub
Usher, registered at a hotel in Lon
don and was assigned to a room on
next to the top floor. The following
morning he rang for a bellboy.
When there was no response to the
second call he lifted the telephone
receiver and waited In vain for Are
you there?" Failing to establish any
communication with the office, he
dressed ard started for the office to
register indignation. The elevator
wasn't running. He began to walk
down. On the fourth landing he met
housemaid and asked in strong Chi
cago language what was the matter
with the hotel.
well, sir, you see, sir" came the
answer. "the Zeppelins were reported
and we were all ordered to the cellar
for safety"
Then Mr.. Kohlsaat's language grew
still stronger, and he completed his
remark by saying: We'll. I'm on
the next to the top floor. and ! wasn't
warned"
mo. sir" was the bland reply;
"but you see, sir, you don't come un-
der the employers liability act, sir"

For these four offices each party
elected two of their candidates, but
the average vote of the Republican
candidates elected was 9,429. as
against only $500 for the successful
Democrats.
We suppose our Democratic friends
will say that Newlands ran 700 votes
behind his ticket, while Stinson ran
way ahead of his ticket This is but
begging the question. The vote for
governor, United States senator and
congressman gives a Republican av-
erage of 8,497 against 8.577 for the
Democrats. Here again can it be said
that the Socialist vote for governor
was nearly 1000 votes behind the So
cialist average. showing that about as
many Socialists voted for Boyle This
Socialist vote, switched to Boyle, ac-
counts for nearly all of Boyles ma
jority of 1886 over Oddie. Oddie
polled 499 votes more than Platt, and
vet Plat was defeated by only 40
votes. due to the small vote for New
lands. Newlands was successful and
Oddie defeated yet Oddfe's vote ex-
ceeded that of Newlands by 459. Rob-
ers' vote exceeded that of Newlands
by 837, while Stinson's vote surpassed
it by 1866.
Anyway the figures are viewed. the
Republicans have the best of it where
the Socialist candidate ran for an
office. Had all of the Republican can
didates polled their party strength
the Republicans would have elected
three out of the four offices mention
ed instead of only two.
This year the main political contest
will be for senator and congressman.
There will surely be Socialist candi-
dates for these offices. If the Repub-
licans do not make the mistake of
nominating weak men, they can win
easily ON the basis of the figures
given. Times.

AVIATOR CHRISTY
ARRIVES IN Town

e. c. Christy, the aviator who is to
give exhibition flights at the Fourth
of July celebration here next week,
arrived on Southern Pacific No. this
afternoon. His mechanician, Mr.. +. p.
Sutton, with the big Gage machine,
arrived yesterday and has been busy
today at the ball park. unpacking and
arranging the parts of the aeroplane.
Mr.. Sutton has entire charge of the
flying machine, and probably knows
more about it's details than its owner
does. He will have the craft assem-
bled and tested out in good time for
the flight By Mr.. Christy Monday af-
ternoon.
Mr.. Christy and Mr.. Sutton will
meet the Fourth of July committee
this evening, to agree on any details
not covered by the contract and work
will be started at once on the prepa-
ration of the ball grounds for the use
of the aviator. Brush and other OBJ
structions will be cleared away to
give as long a ground run as possible,
and such other arrangements as the
airmen consider necessary.

SIGNIFICANT ELEC-
ton FIGURES

The politicians have been studying
the figures of the last election in Ne
vada as an aid to a forecast of the
probable outcome in the state this
fall The figures are disheartening to
the Democrats, while they spell Re-
publican success.
The average vote for the eleven
principal offices where there was real
party opposition, and the average
Democratic vote is found to be 9,69S
against $3.50 for the Republicans, an
apparent average Democratic majori-
ty of 76S. Upon basis of these fig
ures change of less than 400 votes
would give majority to the Repub-
licans. Looking at it in another way,
the average Republican vote. on a ba-
sis of all these eleven offices, is 92
per cent of the Democratic vote.
These figures are far more favora-
BILE TO the Democrats than is warrant
ed by the real situation. Seven out of
the eleven offices, included in making
upu these averages, mentions no So
cialist candidate. 1t is well known
that the Democrats greatly benefited
by this fact, which accounts for the
election of most of the successful
Democratic candidates The Socialist
vote averaged about 4,200.
The four offices where there was
also a Socialist candidate presents a
very different situation.
On the Republican side the vote

James Lane Allen has avowed that
his purpose in writing "A Cathedral
Singer" the new romance, is to estab-
lish the new Cathedral of st. John the
Divine in New York more securely in
the heart of the nation.
Nothing that man has ever been
able to build. he says, is loved for so
many reasons as a cathedral. 1t is
loved for it's spiritual meaning, for
the arts that enter into its structure,
for the action of nature upon 1t through
sunlight and rain. and the brief NOR
tality of the blossom on its walls.
But 1t is above all the literature
which gathers about cathedral. Mr..
Allen says, that makes it loved. link
ing 1t to innumerable human lives and
transfiguring it to human affection.
American literature entering the
service of our great cathedral can
complete its destiny as an American
cathedral. Mr.. Allen believes.

prospects for the success of the cele.

The Mardi Gras committee is greatly
pleased with the enthusiastic response
TO its call for cooperation.
The decoration committee have re-
ceiyed assurance from many of the

the demand for flags and bunting,

announced their intention of spend

POWER OF THE SUBMARINE
90 Far az Its Guns Are Concerned.
II 10 Just About the Weakest
Thing AHoat.

The first and most striking fact
about the submarine is its capacity to
enter into and operate in waters that
are adversely commanded.
But. once in those waters, the
power of the submarine is extraordi-
narily limited. Indeed. its capacity to
enter those waters can also be limit
ed. The use of nets, of mines and of
patrols-especially when assisted by
aircraft-these, at any focal point
which submarines coming or going
must pass, can do much to obstruct
their free passage. The narrower the
waters the easier their control by
these means, and even In comparative
ly open waters great destruction can
be and has been done by surface craft
upon them.
Apart. altogether. from the dangers
to which the submarine is exposed
what is It's value when 1t is at work
ons-the torpedo and the gun. 1t can
carry but few torpedoes-few, that is,
compared with the number of rounds
of gun ammunition that 1t can STOW
away The torpedo. too Is an uncer-
tain weapon at the best of times. par
tieularly uncertain when aimed while
the submarine is submerged.
Wherever it is possible, then, the
captain of the submarine has done his
work with his guns. But as gunned
ship. Arthur II. Pollen writes in the
North American Review, the subma-
rine is the weakest thing afloat Hence
its guns can be used only against un-
armed craft. II dare not approach any
armed ship on the surface at all. If 1t
has to approach an armed ship sub
merged. its speed OF approach is great
ly limited. The highest submerged
speed does not exceed the half-power
speed OF the slowest warship. Hence
speed and high standard of vigilance
in ships which are armed make them
altogether immune from submarine at
tack except in rare cases, when, by
pure chance. their course takes them
within the submarines striking radius.
The point is that IL the ship is armed
the submarine must keep submerged,
and II 1t keeps submerged its maneu-
vering speed is low, its capacity to get
within striking distance is very limit
ed. and its weapon very uncertain. IL
the ship 1t intends to strike is both
mt speed and accompanied by destroy
ers OF fast craft. the area OF danger
90 the submarine and the intensity OF
the vigilance are increased, and the
danger from submarines becomes al
together negligible.

PACIFIC
SOLD YESTERDAY

The Western Pacific was sold yes
terday from the steps of the compa-
ny's depot at Third and Washington
streets, Oakland, says the Call.
Francis Krull United States court
commissioner. auctioned off the rail-
road. The price for the property had
been fixed by Federal Judge NJ. T.
Dooling at s1S,000,000, and while any
one could, if he wished to do so,
make higher bid. the reorganization
committee could not buy in the road
for less.
This committee was represented at
the sale by its attorneys, he attorneys
of the Equitable Trust Company of
New York, and the First National
bank.
After reading the legal court order
for the sale Krull asked for the bid.
The offer of $1S.000.000 was made by
Attorney John F. Bowie for a commit
tee representing the First National
bank. On this committee were Frank
lin B. Spooner, John c. Rued and Rob-
ert r. Pardow.
There was no other bid and the road
was ordered sold for $1S,000000.
A large number of curious persons
had gathered about the depot and p
force of police wer-
present to preserve order.
This sale removed the last obsta o'e
presented by the minority bond hold
ers to the reorganization of the line
which George Gould built at a cost
of $75,000,000 beginning in 1905. and
which has all but bankr1lDted the

TWO TROOPS CAV
AIRY FOR NEVADA

Capt II. La f. Applewhite, COM
mandant of the cadets at the Univer-
sity; s. E. Ross and A. w. Cahlan
were selected late yesterday after
noon to secure recruits for one COM
pany of volunteer cavalry in Reno,
says the Gazette. This order from
Governor Boyle came after he had re-
ceived a communication from Secre-
tary of War Baker advising that Ne
vada could render the best assistance
to the army by furnishing the two
troops of cavalry. One of these troops
will be secured in the eastern part
of the state
The information from Secretary
Baker was slow in arriving in Carson
and Governor Boyle had made ar
rangements to reorganize the Nevada
national guard under the same condi-
tons that it was organized three
years ago. but the late developments
made this work unnecessary and the
cavalry troops will take the place of
the guard.
The recruiting officers expect to Sc
cure 200 men in this part of the state,
which will include Reno, Gardnerville,
Carson City. Virginia City and Sparks,
and 200 men for another troop will be
secured in cities east of Lovelock.
Over so were signed up this morning
by the three officers and they expect
that Nevada will be able to send her
representation to the Mexican border
within 10 days. The men will be given
a physical examination as soon as
they sign up and when the desired
number is obtained they will mobil-
ize here
Following is the message received
by Governor Boyle from Secretary
Baker:
Replying to your telegram of June
%, it is desired that Nevada organize
at this time only two troops of cav
airy. as indicated in circular No. 10.
division of military affairs. for 1914
Arrangements for the combining of
this quota of the force of 500 men, as
required under the national defense
act may be made later; after the war
department has definitely determined
the composition of the force for each
state. Under that act the state adju-
tant-general should report further
steps that are to be taken to the COM
mander-general of the Western de-
partment, who will arrange to in
spect the troops for federal recogni-
ton, If organized All new organiza-
tons are subject to the provisions of
the national defense act. approved
June 8, 1916. If the troops are organ
lied. inspected and recognized, they
will be included in the call.
