COUNTIES QUOTAS
ARE ASSIGNED

A couple of days ago when the
News published the tentative quotas
of men. to be furnished by Nevada
counties for the selective draft II
was stated that another plan for as.
signing the quotas was being con-
sIdered. Yesterday, the officials de-
finitely decided to apportion the
quotas to the counties on the basis
of the numbers of registrants eligible
to draft. 1t was not considered fair,
for instance, to have White Pine coun'
ty give 1877 American citizens TO mill.
tary service figures because
of the heavy registration of aliens,
when figures based on the number OF
eligible registrants fixes that county's
quota at 14S. The revised and official
quotas for the counties are:
Churchill, SO; Clark. 6S; Douglas,
10; Elko. ISL; Esmeralda, 80; Eureka,
l6; Humboldt, Sc; Lander, Ii; Lin.
coin IL; Lyon, Il; Mineral, %; Nye.
rs; ormsby. 1e; Storey. %; Washoe,
213; White Pine. AS. Total, 1.O5l.-
Carson News.
Nevada's quota of the army to be
raised by selective draft will be 1851
on an estimated population OF 1882.
The governments estimates of popu-
lation OF the various counties, based
on the registration is as follows:
Churchill. 5,O6s; Clark. 1928: Doug

London, May 19.AIZhe loss of Monte Kuk is admitted by the Austrians i'll the official statement issued by the Austrian war office yesterday. The statement says:
 Tn the eastern and southeastern theatres there is nothing to report.
 '"The IsonZo battle continues. Monte Kuk, southeast of Plava, was aband- oned yesterday morning after two days of varied fighting of the greatest fierceness. Our troops took up posi- tions several hundred meters east of the hill. In the Gorizia region a re- marka,ble calm prevailed during the day. After nightfall, refraining from any artillery preparation. the enemy suddenly dashed forward in dense masses, but all his efforts to gain a foothold in our lines failed before the cool defense of our brave troops. Early today the enemy strongly att tackled Monte Santo but was repelled after hand to hand fghtinG Since the beginning of the infantry battle we have brought in more than 5000 pris- oners. In the F1itsch and Ploeclzen sectors and in the southern Tyrol the Italian artillery fire has increased"

 FOR INSPECTION

Major Tulsane, of the French army, commander of the French aviation mission to the United States, and Lieut. de La Grande, of the same mission, visited the Remington Arms & Ammunition Co.'S plants in Bridge port today.
 As the guests of H. H. Pfnney, the general manager of the Remington in terests here, the distinguished French army officers spent the greater part of the day in Bridgeport. They ar rived, unheralded, on the s:21 east bound train, the Boston Express, leav- ing New York city at 7:51 a. m.
 The French officers were escorted from the railroad station to the plant without ostentaion. Owing to the ex- tent of the plant, they spent the greater part of the day in their tour of inspection.
 The news of the arrival of the French dignitaries soon spread through the city. and there were many rumors that General Joffre was in the party. Major Tulsane and Lieut.. de La Grande were unaccompanied.
 The French mission is working in cooperation with the United States army officers. Their visit here was to ascertain the extent of the Remington plants capacity, and especially, to look into the possibility of it's producing, ii necessary, aeroplane motors

Mrs. Frank Miller Christens Uncle Sam's Newest
 Fighting Graft.

A dark drab undersea messenger of destruction to the enemies of the United States glided gracefully into the waters of '~The Gut this morning at $40. Under the designation of ..N-7" given to it amidst bath of champagne from color-woyen bottle in the hands of Mrs. Frank Miller, wife of the Lake Torpedo Boat Com
 pany's treasurer, this newest subrna- rine of the United States navy is now rapidly nearing completion.
 The launching which was in charge of J. B. Schmltzer, production engi- neer of the company and supervised by
 General Manager R. H. M. Robin son was among the quickest and most successful undertaken this year. The
 t.Sawing-off'' began at 9:39 8. m. on the apex of the tide and the boat be-
 gan its downward glide at $40. With a velocity tht carried away IS of the
 snubbing-rope loops. the cradles were freed quickly by the construc- ton crew and members of the Tugs
 Isis and Glen, and the "N-7" was made fast to the dock at 9:55 a. m The event was witnessed by com paratively few persons all passes ex- cept the families of officials of the company and military officers on duty in Bridgeport and the press hav- ing been restricted under military rule. The plant was doubly guarded Mrs. Miller, accompanied by Frank Miller, appeared two minutes before
 the launching time. With Major Henry
 A. Beebe, commanding the militia
 forces in Bridgeport, Commander Robinson and Mrs. Robinson they took their positions upon the sponsor
 ship platform. At a given whistle sig nal the saving of the skids began. In
 a moment the cigar-shaped bulk be-
 gan it's motion.
 With her right hand, Mrs. Miller
 smashed the ribbon encased bottle squarely over the bow, saying, T

 As the momentum of the boat in- creased down the ways the big Amerf- can flags flying fore and aft caught | the breeze and the smaller flags of England and France as well as little flags of the other allies huttered gaily l forward
 As the red hull of the vessel took I the water the dull drab superstructure took the ominously familiar form of l the pictured destroyers.
 The launching was over and the guests departed with their military | passes. The hum of machinery and the concussion of the big punch presses prophesied early entry of the
 boat into the United States service. The NY was launched within one
 month of the Ne which took to the water on April 21, preceded by an earlier boat about one month before that time.
