PREPARE FOR BALL To
AID RED CROSS DEC. 81

At a meeting of the Goldfield
chapter of the Red Cross, held last
night at headquarters, a committee
was appointed to have charge of the
most ambitious project for an en-
tertainment, with dancing a part,
that has ever been attempted here.
The big entertainment, to be
known as the Red Cross dance"
will be on New Years eve and will
he held in Elks' hall, the proceeds
10 be given to the local chapter.
The dance will be backed by
every ~fraternal order in Goldfield
and anyone to escape buying a tic
ket will find it necessary to camp
we'll on the other side of the mala-
PAL from now until New Years eve.
This is a night on which a big
crowd may always be drawn for a
dance, as has been found in the
past, and it is confidently believed
that with all the local fraternal or
ganizations behind this special af-
fair and with a live committee in
charge of it, an entertainment will
be furnished and a crowd attracted
that will make the recent highly
successful Elks' charity ball appear
as something that has undergone a
total eclipse.
The Red Cross committee to ar
range for the dance is composed of
Walter Drabnick, chairman; Frank
Hunt, Charles s.. Sprague, Thomas
F. Manning, Clyde p. Johnson, Mrs.
Walter Fitzgerald and Mrs. N. p.
Tleo. The committee will meet to-
morrow night at 8 o'clock at head
quarters and prepare the first de-
tails of an evening of entertainment
that will make the entrance of baby
1918 into Goldfield one hat he will
remember until he is a bewhiskered
old gentleman.
Taking into consideration the
cause in which the dance will be

Arrested For Having Drugs

All Sing, a Reno Chinese, was
arrested a few days & and taken
before a United States commission
er, charged with having opium in
his possession. The police believe
that much of their trouble with the
drug traffic will be eliminated
should federal officers succeed in
securing a conviction in his case.
Local police say All Sing is one of
the ~cleverest of the Chinese colony
and, although suspected many times
OF violations of state and federal
laws, it was only recently that they
lave been able to gather substantial
evidence against him.

On his return to Carson after in
vestigating the case, j. K. Bray,
state superintendent of schools, an
nounced that the school teacher in
the northern part of the state
against whom charges of disloyalty
had been placed had been dismissed
and that she had returned to her
home in California. She had been
teaching in a rural school 10 miles
from Lovelock and it is alleged that
she was guilty of many disloyal
acts. 1t also developed that she had
been watched for some time by gov
eminent agents because of her cor
respondence with a man in prison
IL the east for his disloyal acts.

held and knowing well the likes and
cislikes of local crowds, the chap
ter will stop at nothing to fill the
Elks' hall from the front door to the
roof and to provide entertainment
on an elaborate scale, which will
be quickly arranged for and an
nounced by the committee from
time to time as its plans progress.
Although the chapter did not de-
flnitely plan the dance until last
night, it had been under considera-
ton for some weeks and extensive
plans for it's promotion had already
been made.
The scheme to raise money
through a dance to be conducted on
al. extensive scale, with many side
issues and wide advertisement,
originated with fraternal orders
which agreed to consolidate their
interests for the benefit of the Red
Cross, pick the best night in the
year and get solidly behind the plan
with financial support whenever
necessary.
1t was later found hat the by
laws of many of the organizations
did not permit this and the techni-
cality was avoided by the lodges
withdrawing their actual guaran-
tees, but still all agreeing to sup
pert the plan to the limit, the agree
ment between the chapter and the
lodges as a matter of fact remain
ing the same, except that the tech
nicality had been removed. All
thai the chapter will require in the
promotion OF the dance will be the
actual support of the lodge in the
sale of tickets and it is known that
this support, which is the factor
banked on to make money through
the drawing of a big crowd, can
result in nothing but the greatest
success in every particular.
Only the usual dance admission
price will be charged.

LOCAL SERB|ANS
PLEDGE SUPPORT
BRANCH OF SERBIAN DEFENSE
LEAGUE WRITES TO
PRESIDENT

At a recent meeting of the Gold
field branch of the Serbian Nation
al Defense league of America, or
ganized and maintained here by
patriots born in Serbia, the follow
ing letter was prepared and has
since been forwarded to President
Wilson:
To His Excellency,
Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States:
You, in your address to the con-
gress at the opening of the present
session, having recommended to the
congress that war be declared on
Austria, and having signed this de-
claration after its passage by the
congress, the people of the United
States thereby formally declaring
themselves against the traditional
enemy of the country of u birth,
we, the Goldfield branch of the Ser
bian National Defense League of
America, take this means of thank
ing you and the congress for the
declaration of war against the ma
ton that on a pretext and as the
tool of the INSCRIPTIONS, powerful
government that has since become
an outlaw among nations for its
crimes, laid waste Serbia and drove
it's women into slavery and worse
as revenge for the brave stand our
c%ountrymen made on the side of
true civilization and against the two
great powers against which the
great republic of the west, the
country of our adoption, has since
found it necessary to make war in
support of the identical principles
for which our countrymen so brave
Iy died in 1914.
Therefore we take this means of
pledging to you, in the step the
nation of which you are the leader
has taken, our support in a war
which we, perhaps more than others,
know to be a righteous one.

League of America,
