Mining Notes

That pay going S3 to the square foot of bedrock has been uncovered on his ground on Amy creek in the Tolovana district, is the report received by J. e. Kinney in letter from his partner, Cal Franklin. The letter states that pans running from forty to sixty cents are obtainable any place where the ground has been opened up, but that the width of the paystreak has not yet been demonstrated.
 The ground in question is the Union bench claim, located on the right limit of Amy creek. MT. Kinney, who ar rived in town last night from Dome creek, expects to leave for the Tolo vana country in the next day or two to inspect the find.

 The purr of the 1900" stamp mill which has worked almost without ces- sation since it's erection, will soon be silenced, according to present plans of the Treadwell company at Douglas The ore bins are being emptied and with the source of supply from the Treadwell mine cut off, the mill, will in all probability, be dismantled i'm mediately.
 The "7OO" mill, which is dangerous ly near the scene of the cave-in and located above the workings will also be dismantled in the near future.
 With the exception of some single men, it is not believed the population on the island will be materially dimin- ished.

BANK OF SEWARD, H. s. Balderston, Cashier. April 10-SO
Evening star., 1917-11-21

Col. House has. full instructions as to his
present mission. He understands his
chief, and his chief him. And that he
will carry out his instructions nobody
need doubt. He has earned his chiefs
confidence by faithful services in other
matters.
! 1t is true, however, that in the pres
ent matter Col House has the task of
his life. He is in association with picked
men of long and large experience-men
entirely familiar with European politics,
and with the nearly three and half
years of the conflict now raging for the
determination Of Europc's future. He
has not only to gather but to give views;
not only to weigh the opinions of others,
but form and express opinions Of his
own.
1t is not unlikely that Congress when
it meets will be asked to take notice
Of this mission, not with view of en-
barrassing the President, but for the
purpose Of securing such information
about it as Congress, and for that mat
ter the country, should have respecting
business of such great Importance.

The Alien Enemy Exodus.

While the government would perhaps
be fully justified in retaining the serv-
ices in the District Of Columbia Of alien
enemies engaged in special work Of par
ticular importance, inasmuch as the
proclamation excluding them from
Washington is designed for it's own pro-
lection, it is much better that the order
should be strictly carried out without
exceptions. Any discrimination what
ever, even for the benefit Of the gov
ernment itself, would have an unfortu-
nate effect upon the public mind. There
fore, in respect to all male German sub
Of exclusion from the District will be
enforced undeviatingly. There is. how
ever, one exception under the terms of
the proclamation. Women of German
nationality may remain within the Dis
trict if they wish, as according to the
statute upon which the proclamation is
based they are not rated as "alien enc
miles," Yet it is notorious that woman
spies are in the employ Of the German
government, and if this exclusion order
is aimed at espionage it does not go far
enough. If, however, it is designed sole
ly to prevent the commission Of acts Of
violence it may suffice, for in these
malevolent enterprises men are the chief
agents. Yet it seems altogether made
quate to exclude the male alien enemies
while permitting to remain, if they wish,
women of their families or other women
of German allegiance. This, of course, is
subject to correction if the government
should later decide that they, too, should
60. It is to be assumed that the De
partment Of Justice, charged with the
task of enforcing the new rules, will
keep a particularly close watch upon the
female alien enemies who may remain
in Washington after the exodus.

Working for Unity.

Premier Lloyd George has met the
issue raised against him in England on
the score Of the remarkable frankness
of his Paris speech with characteristic
courage and sagacity. In his speech in
the commons the other day he declared
that he had spoken at Paris as he did
in order to preeipitate a crisis, if it may
be SO called, in the matter of the man
agement of the war, as he wished to at
tract the attention Of the people to the
fact that there is the most urgent need
of unity among the allies in the man
agement of the military campaigns. Evil
IDENTIFY he has silenced his enemies and
disarmed them He is stronger today
than before the attack made upon him
on the score of his outspoken criticism.
He has certainly accomplished his pur-
pose of concentrating the attention of
the four great allied powers-England,
France, Italy and America-to the point
of an international council.
Just how this international concert of
action is to be effected remains to be
worked out, but already the matter is in
hand, with American representatives in
London in communication with the Brit
ish government, and a meeting will
shortly be held at Paris attended by
delegates from all the entente powers.
That from this time forward the great
war will be conducted by the allies with
a more efficient coordination of forces
is now assured. This adjustment comes
opportuneiy on the eve of the winter,
to permit a thorough preparation for
next springs campaign.

Food Pledges for, Victory.

Food pledges are asked of housekeep-
ers not as matter of domestic economy
to save money, but as measure of war
making, to substitute other foods for
those that are urgently needed to sup
ply our allies. Every pound of wheat
-four, or meat, or sugar saved here is as
good as bullet. This is a national,
not a domestic, duty.
The French, British and Italian SOL
diers must be fed. Our men are fight
ing alongside of them. There must be
no discrimination in their supply. We
alone Of all the nations of the great
alliance have the foodstuffs required
for the sustenance of these troops and
we must supply them. There is not
enough wheat or meat or sugar for all.
: We ear substitute corn for wheat to a
great extent, and eggs, poultry and fish
for meat, and we can eat less sugar
All that we "save" by these changes in
oar diet can be sent abroad, where it is
more urgently needed than here.
So the American women, who control
the tables, are asked to do their "bit"
by substituting. by saving, by SO man
aging the family menus that there will
be enough of our stock of e1portable
foods to keep our allies in bodily
strength for the fight. That is the mean
ing of the pledge card that hangs in the
window. And wherever it hangs it
should serve as a token that everybody
in the house is earnestly, patriotically
trying to contribute to the war power
of the United States and its allies in the
battle for human liberty and for ma
tional self-preseryation.

Piercing the German Center.

Coming without the usual notice of
heavy artillery preparation, the latest
British advance in France is one of the
greatest surprises of the war. It may
prove one Of the most marked successes
of the allied arms in the west. Moving
forward along a line thirty-two miles
in length and centering on an eight
mile front opposite Cambrai. the Brit
ish have. it is announced, actually bro
ken the Hindenburg line. reaching and
capturing town after town and moving,
at latest accounts. to within four and q
half miles of Cambria, an advance of
half the distance between the former
British line and that city. Cambrai is
one of the chief points of the German
holdings on the west 'front.' It's capture
or close investment, rendering it use
less for communication and distribution
purposes, would be most serious blow
to the German position, and would per
haps compel another retirement similar
to that of last spring. At latest ac-
counts the British were still going ahead.

who had been thrown out of employ
ment by the closing Of the saloons and
the breweries, he replied:
"No, there are no unemployed; there
is plenty Of work. You know l used to
be wet and used to make speeches on
the wet side, tell how many people
would be thrown out of employment,
how many millions Of dollars of bust
ness would be lost, and the lot of va
cant houses there would be, but it has
not panned out that way. Arguments,
outside of that of personal liberty, so
generally used by anti-prohibitionists
are shot to pieces so far as our city IL
concerned, as they have not materier
lied"
Asked then if he would make speeches
again for the saloon, he replied:
II couldn't, and be honest. and l
wouldn't be dishonest. / used to think
prohibition would be bad thing, but
it has not turned out that way"
In the contest for prohibition in this
town these were among the arguments
used by the opposition. Prohibition
would injure business in general. Large
numbers of men would be thrown out
Of employment. In one way or another,
millions of dollars would be lost. AS it
did not pan out that way in Omaha, is
there any likelihood that it will in
Washington On the contrary. is any
thing more likely than that after trial
of the new policy here the same report
can and will be made as Mayor Dahl
man makes in the case of the town over
which he presidess
The proof of the pudding is in the
eating. Prohibition must meet, and is
meeting, this test. Mayor Dahlman, in
confessing his conversion. said he could
not Ego against the facts" No more
can any other man in responsible sta
tion charged with administering public
affairs. and with opportunity to observe
the effects of prohibition strictly and
thoroughly applied. What is promised
in prohibitions name must be redeemed;
and when it is redeemed. converts are
made in both official and unofficial quar-
tiers, and the policy strengthened in pub
io favor.

A Convert to Prohibition.

Mayor Dahlman of Omaha has seen a
light on the prohibition question. Once
he was an extreme and outspoken op-
ponent of prohibition. He parted com
pany with his longtime friend, Mr..
Bryan, on the proposition. Now, hav-
ing observed the effect of prohibition in
his home town, he confesses to a com
plete change of opinion
In an interview he was asked if the
policy had hurt Omaha, and promptly
replied, no. Everything is all right
here"
Asked then about the effect on bust
ness. he replied:
sit has helped business. People are
able to buy more and collections are
much better. It's easy to understand
that when we had saloons a man would
stop in saloon and spend half Of his
weeks pay before he went home Now
he takes the money home to his family
In the evening he will clean up, eat his
supper and come down town with his
wife to buy groceries"

The President and Col. House.

At this time, when so much specula
tion both at home and abroad is play-
ing around Col. House and his mission.
it will be well for us all to remember
the fact that the colonel possesses to the
full the confidence of the President and
is thoroughly advised of the latters atti-
tude toward the business now in hand.
and which is commanding SO much of
the worlds attention. In way. indeed
Col. House probably stands nearer to
the President than any other man.
The members of the cabinet stand yery
near to the President, but each with re.
gard to the particular business of his
department. But Col. House may be
described as an all-around counselor. He
holds no Office. No departmental mat
ters are under his supervision. He has
the time and is at liberty to address
himself to any subject to which the
President calls his attention and asks
suggestions about.
While the two men do not often meet
there is every reason to believe that they
are in frequent Communication. They
have met several times in the past few
months. Once in Massachusetts,, when
the President was cruising on the May
flower; once in New York. and once here
in Washington. Hence, in addition to
the wires and the mails, the President
has had abundant means of conferring
with the colonel about the wars latest
Developments.
