TEAR DOWN GERMAN FLAG

Merchantville, n. j., April 9. = A
large German flag hanging from the
front of the home of c. IL. Cook, at
Cedar and Center streets, caused a
crowd to collect and committee was
named to ask that the offensive flag be
hauled down at once. The German
servant girl who came to the door
said the flag would stay where it was
and Barbara Freitchie-like, she de-
clared they could shoot her before she
would remove it. Mayor McAllister
was waited on by the crowd and said
he would not permit German flag in
Merchantville. When the crowd had
decided to tear down the flag by lasso-
ing it with a rope, Mr.. Cook came
down the street and he invited the
crowd to take the flag and do with
it what they wished. He cut the
the ropes and the emblem of the
Kaiser fluttered to the street, where 1t
was soon in flames.

AUGUST MAY BREAK
MARRIAGE RECORD
EIGHT LICENSES HAVE BEEN Is
SUED TO DATE IN GOLD
FIELD

With tonight and six more days
remaining in the month of August.
there have been eight marriage
licenses issued in GoldfielG to date.
1t is believed the month will set
a new record for several years. In
August, 1916, but three licenses
were issued. Eight were also issued
in June of this year. T~hirty-two
have been issued thus far in 1917.
The eighth license was issued late
yesterday to d. c. Mclaughlin and
Miss Stella 1. Stewart of Hornsilver
and resulted in their marriage by
Justice of the Peace Arnold. They
evidently were given a warm send
off at Hornsilver, as the car they ar
rived in was well covered with
shoes, some of which still are hang
ing from the hitching post in front
of the court house, where they yer
placed by Mclaughlin on his ar
rival.

PRISONERS TREATED
BETTER IN BRITAIN
GERMANS ADMIT THAT ENGLISH
SYSTEM AFFORDS BET
TER CARE

LONDON, Aug. 6. = Admission
that the treatment of German war
prisoners in Great Britain was SUI
perior to the treatment received in
any other country was made by the
chief German delegate to the re-
cent conference of British and Ger
nan on wal prisoners according to
a statement made by Baron New
ton, one of the British delegates,
in the house of commons.
Virtually no complaint was made
of the British methods of dealing
with war prisoners, Lord Newton
added.
One impression he derived from
his intercourse with the delegates
was that, in spite of the German
powers of Capitalization, Berlin
headquarters did not know a grea;
deal of what went on.
That impression, he said, more or
less confirmed what James w. Ger
ard the late American ambassador
at Berlin, used to tell him, that
there was less Capitalization than
was supposed and that the control
at Berlin over prisoners of war was
nothing like so effective as in this
country. He haG a strong suspi-
cion that a great deal went on in
various German camps of which the
central German administration
knew little.
AS they had 20 times as many
prisoners as the British had, it
ould be surprising, he said, If they
did know all that went on.

RISK TO SOLDIERS
IS OvERfST|MATEO
ING MEN KILLED OR
MANNED

WASHINGTON. Aug. 25. = That
the risk of the fighting man is not
nearly so great as is popularity i'm
agined is the belief of marine corps
officials here who have compiled
statistics covering the allied losses
in the war.
A careful estimate shows that only
one man in Is is killed and one out
of 500 loses a limb. Recent reports
from French and British hospitals
show that about 95 per cent recover
from wounds, while about 90 per cent
are able to return to the firing line.
While the marine corps officials
hold unbiased views in regard to the
expected casualties among their own
troops in France, it is pointed out
that the soldiers of the sea" re-
Gently engaged in warfare in Haiti
suffered less than one per cent losses.
These were sustained while cover
ing a wide terrain, fighting from
house to house, and capturing and
holding small redoubts, taken one
by one from the enemy. This meth
cd of warfare is said to be rapidly
su%perseding the trench system on
the western front.

Ely Trouble Settled

A wire to Governor Boyle from
Attorney General Thatcher, who has
been in Ely ~endeavoring to settle a
threatened strike of Nevada North
ern railway employees who operate
ore trains in the pits, states that
the trouble has been settled. The
men threatened to strike as a re-
suit of alleged attractions of the
eight-hour law by the Nevada Con
solidated Copper company. Wal
demands for copper had forced the
company to a maximum production
and the men were employed over
time, their wages being based on a
sliding scale and their overtime be-
ing paid On the basis Of a nine
hour day. The situation was a
serious one, but both sides to the
controversy are satisfied with tho
settlement.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. "a
The American Red Cross is sup
porting and will continue to sup
port General Pershing and his
troops in France to the limit of it's
power.
mo need of our army which we
can possibly foresee will be left I'M
lowered" cables Major Grayson
Murphy, head of the Red Cross
commission in France. In order to
facilitate his work, Major Murphy,
a West Point graduate who saw
service in the Spanish-American
a has been appointed to General
P~ershing's staff, and the whole Red
Cross campaign is being conducted
with a view to the fullest co-opera-
ton with the wishes and policy OF
the American commander.
The Red Cross has perfected
plans to are for each contingent of
troops as they land. On the route
from the reception camp to the
training camp, a journey which
sometimes takes ~ hours, owing
to the congestion of the French
railroads, there have been estab-
lished six infirmaries and rest-sta-
tions, each in charge of a trained
nurse and an assistant, to care for
soldiers who are i'll on the way.
When the men march to camp the
Red Cross will continue to act as a
friendly agency to supplement what
the army itself does to make the men
comfortable and to preserve their
morale. Cigarettes to the number of
a million and a half, 10000 packages
of smoking tobacco and 10000 cuts
of chewing tobacco have already been
sen to France for their use. Red
Cross chapters are now working up
a million pounds of knitting wool in
to garments for the use of both sol
diers and sailors this winter, and
will keep the men supplied.

JULY REPORT OF
WEATHER BUREAU
MONTH WAS ONE OF WARMEST
OF RECORD IN
STATE

The July bulletin of the weather
bureau has been issued and has
the following to say regarding the
month in Nevada:
This was one Of the warmest
Julys in Nevada since statewide
records have been kept. There have
been only two Julys in the past 30
years with higher average temper
atures. The temperatures were uni
formly high during the entire
month, the daily averages being
above normal with the exception of
a day or two on or near the 2Sth
when they were normal or slightly
lower.
An unusually warm spell occur
red from about the 10th to the
18th when very high maximum
temperatures were recorded. The
highest temperature on record az
Reno, 101 per cent, was recorded
on the 18th and 18th. Tempera-
lures of 100 per CEN or higher.
were recorded at 90 stations, and
all stations recorded temperatures
in the nineties with the exception
of a few which are located at high
elevations in the mountains. The
monthly maximum temperature
ranged from 70 per cent at Gold
Creek in the n~orth-central portion
of Elko county. to III per cent at
Logan in the Muddy River valley.
1t was a dry month over most of
the western half of the state where
a number of stations received no
moisture, and usually wet over the
greater part of the eastern half
where stations recorded more than
an inch of rainfall.
The warm, dry weather was gen
orally favorable for the agricultur-
al interests, except on dry land
where the drought vas detrimental
to crops. All grains, hay, potatoes,
sugar-beets, fruit, and garden truck
developed rapidly in the irrigated
sections and were reported in eX-

month.
The harvesting of wheat and cut
ting of the second crop of alfalfa
had started in the lower valleys,
and the third crop of alfalfa was
cut in the extreme south portion.
Range feed continued plentiful, and
stock was in prime condition. The
high temperatures caused rapid

LINCOLN HIGHWAY

PARTY OF OFFICIALS HERE ON
WAY TO LOS

H. c. Osterman, field secretary
of the Lincoln Highway association,
and Austin F. Bement, secretary,
both of Detroit, Mich, with G. S.
Hoag of Ely, secretary of the Ne
vada State Automobile associat
and Nevada state consul of the Lin
coin Highway association, arrived
here this morning from Ely, travel
ing by auto to Los Angeles.
The party is gathering facts re-
garding roads along the route of
the Lincoln highway and roads
feeding into it on the trans-contin-
entail journey. This information
will be used in compiling the Off
cial guide of the association, which
heretofore contained only facts re-
garding the highway itself, with
out any information on roads lead
ing from it. 1t will be of great
value at headquarters of the asso-
citation in answering the thousands
of inquiries that are received an
nually from tourists.
Members of the party stated that
On the journey from Ely they found
80 per cent of the roads to be in
excellent condition. Ten per cent
was found fair and the remainder
poor. They said this was an ex-
cellent showing for the state. They
also remarked that the road be-
tween here and Tonopah was as
good a desert road as could b.
found anywhere.
While here they consulted with
G. E. Redman, secretary of the
Goldfield branch of the American
Automobile association. and on ar
rival in Los Angeles will talk with

LABOR BUYS BONDS

While it is not possible to give ex-
act figures either as to the number
of subscribers or the amount of
bonds bought, yet reports from many
corporations and firms which are
large employers of labor show that
the working men of America were
and liberal purchasers in
the initial two billion dollar issue of
Liberty bonds.
There can be no doubt that the
working men of America are a class
of citizens whose patriotism and abil-
ity afford a tremendous market for
government bonds. The safety of
the Liberty Loan bonds and their ex-
emption from all federal, state and
local taxation. except inheritance and
Atate taxes, constitute them an ideal
0.estment for the smaller investors,
and the labor element of America
seems to have been quick to appre-
ciate the fact. That they will be lib
eral purchasers in the next issue of
the Liberty Loan bonds may conf
IDENTIFY be relied on.

CHAPTERS GIVE
RED CROSS AID
WOMEN PREPARE SURGICAL
DRESSINGS FOR MEN ON
WARSHIPS

WASHINGTON, d. c. At the
request of William c. BREASTED, sur
geon General of the United States
navy, the American Red Cross has
called upon 10 of the largest chap
tiers of the society nearest New York
to supply at the earliest possible mo-
ment surgical dressings for each of
1873 battleships and d~estroyers. Each
ship will require thousands of COM
dresses and bandages, the entire
consignment making a total of more
than 600, 900 surgical dressings.
The surgical dressings are to be
prepared by the women workers In
the Red Cross chapters at Chicago,
Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York,
Atlanta, Boston and the northwestern
division, these chapters being chosen
because their proximity to New York
will expedite delivery. 1t is expect
ed to fill the order within the next
10 days.
Women qualified in the various
chapters to make surgical dressings
are working day and night for the
rapid completion of the work. Only
women who have taken the Red
Cross course in the making of these
bandages are eligible to engage in
the work.
With the declaration of war there
has been a rapid increase in the
number of women taking the Red
Cross surgical dressing courses. In
June 4144 certificates were issued to
women who had taken the course of
eight lessons of three hours each,
and in the first 10 days of July 1879
certificates were issued.
Each chapter will supply the bat
tleship named after that particular
state and others in which they might
have a geographical interest. Thus
the Chicago chapter will supply the
Chicago and the Illinois. New York
will supply the New York and the
Albany. These boxes as completed
will be shipped by chapters direct
to the Bush terminal at New York
for distribution to the ships.

it is safe to say that the company
is now earning at a rate of much

close of the stockholders meeting
early in June. Interest is largely
centered in developments on the
1OOO-foot level of the Giroux shaft.
where the miners are opening up a
body of high-grade copper ore of
increasing size. 1t is stated that
each day considerably more of this
rich ore is being placed in sight
than is extracted in course of de-

Secretary Adams stated that ship
ments of the rich ore to the McGili
smelter of the Nevada Consolida>

carloads, or $50 tons, and that
never less than two carloads are
shipped. The copper content var
