recognized. SmalLsprings and wa
ter holes. formerly regarded as of
little value, now cannot be purchased
for any price. The cause of this is
the invasion by Utah sheepmen. The
campaign mapped out by the Utah
men indicates that Coal valley will
support a great number of sheep and
add materially to the wealth of Lin
coin County.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT


Organize Home Guards
Wells Herald: While we have no
desire to figure in the lole of an
alarmist, we must insist that the
States of the Union should take
prompt action looking to the organi-
cation of troops of home guards.
Three years ago we laughed in
scorn at the alarmist who tried to
point out to us our state of unpre-
paredness. America need an army?
Ha! Hal" was the sentiment of two
thirds of the people. Now we are
composing heaven and earth to equip
an army that should have been
equipped years ago, We are sending
raw troops to France where we
should already have veterans in the
trenches.
Will we make the same mistake as
to guarding our hearthstones? How
long before we will be without either
regular troops or green recruits in
the country? They r going by
thousands and tens of thousands.
The tension between the United
States and Germany is being drawn
tighter and tighter as the days pass.
German spies and German emissaries
abound within our borders. Every
day witnesses some act of vandalism
traceable to that source. Brazil has
a German uprising. Can we assure
ourselves that we are proof against
the same?
How many times within recent
years have disturbances broken out
in this country of too great magni-
tude for the State constabulary to
handle =? 1t is of frequent occurrence
Can we say that we have seen the
last of such? Or if not. when they
do occur, to what force will we look
to restore order? The troops will
be across the water, or at least out
from the States control and other
wise busily engaged. Every State
in the Union. every county in every
State has thousands of able bodied
men. patriotic as any who have
marched away. who would be only
20 ~loI RI ha colInd upop for homo
defense. These men are above the
draft age but would make none the
less efficient soldiers. The State that
has not made provision for organic
ing this element of its manhood for
home defense. should lose no time in
doing so. No man car tell what a
day may bring forth.
We were caught mapping once.
Let us not repeat the blunder.
