CAUDORONDUM BOMBS
LATEST GERMAN stunt

BY The United Press.
LONDON. Aug. 25.-(By MaiD.-
Csrborundum bombs" are the latest
development Of German plotters' in
genuity for Gripping the war effort OF
America. They we're discovered in
recent German bomb haul in Christi
ana. Norway
Carborundum is a manufactured
composition resembling a sharpening
stone but is harder than almost any
steel made today.
American army officers believe It
was the German plan to have these
oarborundum bombs disguised in
chewing tobacco and cigars, slipped
into the axle cups of troop and sup
ply trains and into oil cups and other
vital parts of trans Atlantic steam
ship engines.
Half an hour of this composition
grinding against car and engine bear
ings and in steam cylinders would
ripple railway cars and steamships
Tor weeks, requiring entirely new
axles and engine parts, engineers
say.

BENNETT LEAVES
TO REJ0|N NAVY

w. II. Bennett, of East Ely, who
has been employed as a stationery
engineer by the Nevada Northern
railway, leaves this morning to re-
Tort for luty with the United States
navy. Mr.. Bennett enlisted with
the navy about four years ago. but
his term of enlistment had not yet
expired, making him subject to call
for service. He lost no time In
making arrangements to report for
duty, as occasioned by the recent
declaration of war by the United
States. His family for the present
will remain at East Ely.
H. Robbins of East Ely, also in
the employ of the Nevada Northern,
has gone to San Francisco, having
received an appointment for service
at the United States navy yard at
that place
Five new recruits have been en-
listed by Sergeant ] A. Freeman.
of the regular army, who has been
active in the work through the dis
trict during the last ten days. This
is the second visit of Sergeant Free
man here, and on the occasion of his
first visit he enlisted two men. There
are a large number of prospects In
view and since the opening of quar-
ters by Sergeant Freeman in Ely
much interest has been shown in the
matter. The general display of the
red, white and blue through the dis
trict leaves no room for doubt as TO
the patriotism and earnestness of
citizens. Sergeant Freeman is be-
ing ably assisted by Colonel James
S. Bennett, and either of the men
named will gladly furnish any de-
sired information.
The names recently added to the
list of recruits are Robert A. Trov

NEW TRAIN SCHEDULE FOR
NEVADA NORTHERN LOCALS

A new schedule of shift trains be-
tween East Ely and the mines has
been announced by the Nevada
Northern Railway company. and the
mines trains will leave here at
$40 a. m, 2:40 p. m. and 1910
p. m, returning at $40 a. m. :,
4:45 p. m. and 1850 a. m. Anoth-
er train has also been added between
Ely and McGill, which will leave Ely
at 9:10 a. m. and return at 10:4O
a. m.
This new schedule has long been
under consideration, and as soon as
conditions warranted 1t. the Nevada
Northern was quick to put it into
effect AS told in the News, the
operations at Kimberly are being
rapidly increased, and about $50
men are now at work. 1t is stated
on the best of authority that this
force will be steadily increased. and
the result of work so far is most sat
isactory to the management.
The Coppermines company. II is un-
derstood. prefers not to erect homes
for the accommodation of its men at
the mines. and this leaves no room
for doubt as to the necessity of pro-
yiding small homes and accom- moda-
tions for the miners in Ely and East
Ely. No doubt the business men
Will see the necessity of such pro-
vision II the full benefit of the un-
questionable prosperity is to be reap
ed. For some time past il has been
impossible to supply the demand for
living quarters in Ely. The activity
of the Coppermines company at Kim
berly has given renewed life TO the
subject of the plant which It has
long been hoped would be erected on
the bench between Ely and East Ely
Those in a position to know con-
fidenuy predict that before the end
of the coming summer work on this
plant will be commenced. II Is un-
derstood that the company is now
we'll financed, and lack OF funds has
been generally accepted as the rea-
son for delay In the erection of such
q plant in the past
The company owns the water and
now that its development work is
progressing so satisfactorily. II ap-
pears that the cherished hope of the
erection OF a second great plant In
the district is nearer realization than
ever before. which would soon place
Coppermines among the leaders in
the world of metal production.

UNIVERSITY CLUB SMOKER
DEVELOPS PATRIOTISM

The monthly smoker given in the
rooms of the University Club for its
members and invited guests was a
most pronounced success. not only
because of the number present, which
was unusually large, but because of
the enthusiasm prevailing. The
club rooms were beautifully dec
GRATED with flags and bunting and
the long tables arranged for the
accommodation of the guests were
surrounded by jolly aggregation of
members and their friends, who
enjoyed the clubs hospitality and
participated in the discussions and
repartee which occurred.
The occasion was one decidedly pa
