report that officials of the Western

which confirm the statements long
since made that the Western Pacific
would soon be prepared to commence
work on an extensive feeder system
which includes Eastern and perhaps
Central and Southern Nevada. Such
line would prove the shortest route
to the Coast from the Intermountain
country, and at the same time it
would avoid heavy mountain grades
which have. and always will, prove a
barrier to cheap transportation over
the Southern Pacific and Western
Pacific roads.
Such q line would prove q remun-
erative investmentrfrom the start.

Promotion Made Easy

Plans announced by the War De-
partment fulfill the expectation that
men entering any branch of our mill
tary service will have the amplest
opportunity of promotion.
Thus far, in the enlargement of
the National Guard and Regular
Army and the organization of the
National Army, great numbers of
officers have been nfken from the
civilian training camps. 1t has been
decided that after the completion of
the courses now in progress in the
officers training camps no more
commissions will be given to civilians.
All future officers will be selected
from men already in the ranks.
1t is within the power, therefore.
of any private soldier to win what
ever advancement his zeal and talent
deserve. There is literally no limit.
If the war lasts long. it is possible
that men donning khaki to-day for
the first time may emerge from the
conflict with the rank of general and
with names that win live in history.
There is to be systematic effort
made to pick out those most capable
of command. In every divisional
camp there will be school for en-
bryo officers. under the direction of
military experts. aided by French
and British officers direct from the
battle front. Every private who
shows promise will be admitted to
this school and placed in line
for promotion. There may be
so, 600 or more commissions bestowed
in this way.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT


- FoooFnfsm 6efnG ShotDn
Elko Independent: More or less
adverse criticism is being directed
toward the State Exemption Board
because of recent rulings it has made
with reference to the called men of
Elko County. What is true of Elko
County is true, in large measure. of
other counties of the State.
1t would be manifestly unfair to
accuse the State Board of direliction
of duty without having at hand all
the facts upon which it based its ac-
tion. The Independent believes that
the Board is honestly trying to per-
form its full duty. but the fact re-
mains that dissatisfaction is becoming
more general as the Board proceeds
with its work. Men have been ex-
empted whom the local boards, with
apparently the same set of facts be-
fore them, have refused to exempt.
1t would seem but reasonable that if
a man were entitled to exemption
the local board, better acquainted
with the man and having before it
all the facts that could be presented
to the State Board. would grant the
exemption. In truth. the local board
should. it would seem. be swayed by
considerations of friendship and per-
sonal feelings and be inclined to re-
lease a man where there was the
least possibility of injustice being
done. 1t is human nature to deal
more leniently with those with whom
we have associated than with stran-
gers; yet the local boards have certi-
fed numbers of men whom the State
Board has released. apparently upon
the same evidence which the local
board had to consider.
The selective draft Is the most fair
and democratic method Of raising an
army that has been devised: Our
country is at war and needs soldiers
and there should not be a breath of
suspicion attending the manner of
selecting them by any board. local,
State or National.
1t is to be hoped that the State
Board will. if called upon. be able to
show good and sufficient reasons for
its actions in setting aside the actions
of local boards and releasing men
whom those boards believed to be
subject to the draft.
If these releasements continue we
may expect lusty protest to go up
from all sections Of the State and
there will be lingering suspicion in
the minds Of many that the State
Board is not above playing favorites.

Our exports to Russia have grown
enormously. in spite of the fact that
the Baltic and Black Sea ports could
not be reached. Before the war the
United States was sending goods to
Russia to the amount of $31. 900. 900
a year. but in the year just ended
the figures reached $558. 900. coo.
Most of the goods went by way of
the Pacific ports of Siberia. In the
same time our imports from Russia
fell off from 20 millions in 1914 to 9
millions in 1917.

4 BIG BUSINESS MIRACLE

II is an amazing cut that the Gov
eminent has made in the price of
steel. At one stroke, steel bars are
reduced from $110 a ton to S5S. steel
shapes from $120 to $50, and steel
plates from $220 to $65. And this is
not merely on Government contracts.
Private consumers are to get the
benefit of the same prices. A whole
industry, the greatest of all our
manufacturing industries, has the
market price of its output cut to less
than half.
Imagine our present food bills cut
In half! Imagination refuses to go
50 far as that. but it's precisely what
has happened to steel.
And here is marvellous thing. We
can fancy how the food producers
and distributors would howl If the
Government attempted such a cut in
their prices. We know how the
coal industry has howled at the
moderate reductions recently an
nounced in fuel rates. Itmight have
been expected that the powerful steel
industry would let out a roar lifting
the roof of the capitol at Washing
ton. And instead. we find E. H.
Gary. head Of the steel trust. saying
calmly:
ION the whole. taking everything
into consideration. the prices fixed
by the Government, l believe. are
fair and reasonable"
The acquiescence of the steel manu-
facturers is assured by the fact that
they themselves have been consulted
at every step of the price-fixing pro-
cess, and have agreed to the rates
established.
Miracles do happen.

Russians on the Offensive Along
Sereth River; Prisoners Taken

Unfavorable weather again is ham,
pering major operations in Flanders,
but in southern Moldavia the desper-
ate fighting between the Russo-Rum-
anians and the Teutons continues with
increasing ferocity.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen is
using strong forces in an endeavor to
break through the entente line toward
the railroad junction of Tecutchiu.
The Russians and Rumanians are re-
sisting valiantly but have been forced
to give up, at least temporarily, their
positions along the railroad line north
of Fokshani.
A Russo umanian retirement to
the village of Marasechti and Fur
teeni, on the Sereth river, is reported
by Petrograd. In cOunter-attacks pre-
ceding their retreat, the Russians and
Rumanians took 1900 German prison
ers. Berlin says that Won Mackensen's
troops withstood strong attacks and
captured more than $500 prisoners as
well as IS cannon and 81 machine
guns. g."
Around Ocna, northwest of FOX
sham, and near the Transylvanian Dor
der, there has been intense fighting,
with the Teutons forcing Rumanian
retirement northward of Ocna. AS a
counter move to the Teuton offensive,
the Russians have assumed the initia-
tive in an attack at the confluence Of
the Buzeu and Sereth rivers, south
east Of Fokshani, and in the region of
Galatz. Part of the Teuton positions
were captured by the Russians, who
also took some prisoners, four cannon
and eight machine guns. =
Elsewhere on the eastern front, in
northern Rumania, in Bukowina and
on the Russo-Galician frontier, there
has been no marked activity.
The weather was wet and stormy in
Flanders Saturday night and early
Sunday and there was little infantry
activity, but the artillery firing con:
tinues to be most intensive. In an &C.
ton north of Lens, the British gained
possession of mine crater from the
Germans.
During Saturday night and Sunday
morning the French recaptured all the
remaining trench elements taken by
the Germans Wednesday night. "A Ger
man attack south of Allies, on the
Aisne front, was repulsed. Berlin re-
ports the repulse of French attacks
in the region of Cerny on the same
front. .

Plan to TAX Liberty
Loan Meeting Favor

Washington, Aug. 12.-While the
senate continues debate on the $2,0O6,-
100000 war tax bill this week, initial
steps will be taken by the house to-
ward raising part of the additional &c.
000,000,O00 needed to carry on the war
until July I, 1918.
More ready money, possibly $4,000
100000, will be necessary to meet cur
rent expenditures before congress can
appropriate it at the next session, so
Secretary McAdoo and Democratic
Leader Kitchi13 will discuss the situa-
tlon early in the week. Members Of
the ways and means committee, both
democrats and republicans, have ex-
pressed willingness to pass without
delay legislation for any reasonab bic
amount required. Senate leaders also
are ready to cooperate.
Sentiment for raising additional
funds at this time by bond issue and
certificates of Indebtedness and not by
taxation is strong in both houses.
Such action, it is argued, will prevent
disturbances throughout the country
which are engendered by every tax
bill Increase and greatly expedite OBJ.

Immediately it's peace terms, coupled

Senator King of Utah, declaring there
shall be no peace until the allies tri-
umph, will come up for debate early in

Administration leaders are expected
to assail both the peace resolutions as
they regard all peace talk at this time
as extremely unwise, particularly be-
cause of the effect it might have on
Russia. Members of the Root commits
sion who returned here last week from
Russia said that every move looking
to peace, no matter how trivial in this
country was seized upon by Germany
propagandists and made the most of in
Russia. Charles Edward Russell, one

congress was of more value to the kai-
