ANOTHER CALL
ON RED CROSS
Elko County Chapter Asked
For Another Hundred
Xmas Packets

The Pacific Division OF the Red
Cross wants the Elko County Chap
ter to make up one hundred more
Christmas packets for the boys at the
front. These packets must be in San
Francisco, not later than November
80. This call has been made on ac.
count OF the increase Of 275,0O0 more
men in the army than there was when
the original call was made. This
gives us some conception OF the speed
with which our army is growing.
In the last call for Christmas pack
cts the division wanted us to furnish
two hundred packets. but we did not
think that we could furnish that num-
Der, though II turned out that we sent
two hundred ard twenty such packets.
There is still money left from the
first call. some $500 and Metropolis
sent in S29, 90 with $500 given by VIM.
Elbrecht this morning gives us a good
start for the last drive. We hope
to send in too much rather than see
our boys on the front disappointed on
Christmas. In this last call the Paci.
fic Division has been allotted to send
10000 such packets, and Elko's share
is one hundred.

MANY PRISONERS ASK
TRANSFER TO ARMY

Since four men who registered for
the selective draft, last June. have
been released from the state prison
to permit them to obey the call for
military service, many others serving
time are making efforts to bring
about conditions that will make II
possible for them TO exchange prison
life for that of the army. Adjutant
General Sullivan yesterday hal he
fore him eleven letters from convicts
asking that he secure pardons for
them under conditions that would
enable them to enter the army. a
few of the applicants claimed to have
seen military service, and we the
designation of the commands to which
they belonged. A Mexican was one
of the men slgnifying WILLINGNESS
to serve the nation in the ranks. An.
other claims to be an ex.soldier of a
negro regiment. The Adju:ant Gen.
| eral of course has nothing 10 do with
the cases of men who %er- confined
| in the prison at the time of the reg
istration last June. There is abso
lutely no parallel between their cases
and the men who. subsequent to reg
istration, have been sent to prison
and who have. in the natural opera
tlon OF the sclective draft law, been
called for military service. II Is in
such cases that the authorities and
the Adjutant Gcreral have seen IT.

MACHINE GUNS A
VERY BIG FACTOR

FRENCH FRONT, Nov. s.-German
appreciation OF the value of the ma.
chine gun in modern battles was ap.
parent at the beginning OF hostilities
in 1914 and the most recent. develop
ments in their infantry formations
give testimony of ever extending re-
lance on this weapon for the defense
of the front line.
Each German infantry regiment will
be provided with no fewer than "a
OF these weapons whose manipula.
tors are formed into separate COM
pany. and besides these each comp. ny
is to be furnished with six light rapia
fire guns, altogether making formid.
able equipment. This is an enounmus
Increase over the number provided
at the beginning OF the war when
each regiment of infantry of the ac-
tive army and its reserve posi- .ssed
only six of these guns.
Beside the regimental machine
guns, special companies have been
formed with the title of "Maschinen.
These operate separately from the
batalions of infantry in attacks. f.ny
are composed of groups of six ma
chine guns each, and three, of these
groups as rule work together There
are altogether over 200 of these
groups and their number is rapidly
increasing. They came fiIst into &C.
tion during the battle of the somme
and they were engaged also in the
battles around yerdun.
All the efforts of the Germans 10
find an. effective portable machine
gun or automatic rifle such as that
possessed by the French and British
troops appear to have been unsuc.
cessful and although such weapons
have been brought into action, on
several occasions they have quickly
disappeared.

OLD ELK0 PIONEER
ANSWERS THE SUMMONS

o. F. Rodgers, an old pioneer OF
Elko. died at Miles City. Montana,
on October goth. He will be remem.
bered by all the old timers here. and
many will learn with sincere sorrow
that he has passed away. Mr.. Rod.
gers lived in the home which former
ly stood where Mayor J. A. McBridc's
residence now stands, and II was he
who planted the many big trees that
now beautify that lot.
From a Miles City paper we take
the following article regarding his
death:
o. 3. Rogers. one OF Miles City's
oldest pioneers. died this morning at
the hospital at 1850.
Last year Mr. Rogers was operated
on for cancer and had never fully re-
covered from the operation. About
two weeks ago he was brought in from
his sons ranch at Brandenberg TO
receive medical treatment. last Tues.
day he was taken unexpectedly worse
and was taken TO the hospital from
the Olive hotel. A pronounced change
for the worse was noticed last night
and death came at the hour named
this morning.
Mr.. Rogers, who would have been
90 yars old In November, was born
at Mansfield. Ohio. In 1927, where
many OF his relatives reside. He
went to California in 1850. where h,
was married in 1867 and lived ther,
until 1859, when he went to Nevada
In 1884 Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers came
to Montana, settling in Miles City II
1885. Mrs. Rogers died seyera
years ago. Mr.. Rogers is survived b,
one daughter. Mrs. Craig Mcdowell
OF Miles City, and one son, Free
Rogers OF Brandenberg.
Definite arrangements for the fun
erai have not been made as yet. bu
II is thought that II will be held eithe
Sunday or Monday from the Episcopa
church. the Rev. Craig officiating. In
terment will be In the Miles City Gem

Work

IF the six million prisoners OF war
which the Y. NJ. C.. A. war work is

cesslon would take over month to

who has spent two years among the
prisoners OF war in Russia
"These mt1 are the most lones ame
men in the world. Some of them have
been interned for over two years.
They have nothing 10 divert their
minds, no comforts. nothing TO read
except what the Y. NJ. e. A. workers
can give them. These men need at.
tention. They need the help of the
Y. NJ. c. \. the friendly spirit of the

The sum OF s35OO1.O0O has been

soners of war in the $35,OOO,OOO drive
which the Y. NJ. c. 4. is making at
this time. This will carry world Of
comfort to these men who are shut of
from the world. Why, there are men
tn erewho have lost hope. men who
do not leave their couches except
for their meals. These men are bor-
dering on insanity. They must be
given something to do. something TO
occupy their minds.
THE Y. NJ. c. A. overseas is the
only organization allowed among the
prisoners. The people of this coun-
try must make ii possible to save
these men. This vast sum OF money
must be raised. This is n condition
that no words of mine could possibly

ness OF these prisoners We must
