GERMANS RETREAT TO VICTORY
SAYS KAISER OFFICIAL

Berlin, via Wireless, March. 21.-
Germany is retreating to victory; an
other master stroke has been achiev-
ed by Field Marshal Won linden
burg and the entente's plans for a
great spring offensive have been de-
strOyed.
This, in brief, is official expIana-
ton given to Germany's retirement
on western front.
Germans have made whole coun-
try between old line and new a will
derness.
German forces will be entrenched
in strongest possible defenses, pro-
tected by forests of barbed wire en-
tanglements. Free fire zone in front
will give clear view Of enemy. Guns
have been carefully ranged. Enemy
must come up, must dig itself in,
must arrange transport Of millions of
tons of ammunition, food and supplies
over the wilderness left by the Ger
mans.
Allies will face German forces pre-
pared for every contingency and pro-
tected as an army was never protect
ed before.
Germany is retreating to victory
because her armies are taking their
places in new positions, long prepar-
ed. These positions embody newest
lessons of the war. They will force
enemy to learn their trade all over
again. They may affect transforma-
ton of entire character of the war.
London.-ln several places today
fighting is within, two or three miles
of the "Hindenburg line" as experts
here have picked it out. French are
nearest German permanent defenses.
British have made haste more slow
Iy, preferring to rebuild destroyed
country over which they advance.
Germany's new line, officials here
say, lies in position where engineers
and strategical eYDerts have chosen

his formal cabinet declaration.

RESOLUTIONS ASK FOR
UNIVERSITY INVESTIGATION

in addition to the request for a
eomDlete investigation OF affairs at
the university contained in the an
nnaI report of the oil aboard OF re-
gents which was submitted to Gov.
Rovle a set of resolutions was drawn
up making a formal request that an
Investigation be made and presented
at the final meeting OF the old board
by DR.. J. J. Sullivan. These res
olutions we're adopted by a unanim-
Gus vote spread upon the minutes OF
the meeting.
Following is a copy of the resolu-
tons:
Whereas, certain criticisms have
been directed against the board OF
regents and the president of the uni
~yersity during the past year, and es-
peeially during the last campaign,
wherein serious charges affecting the
administration of the university and
the integrity of the president of the
university and members of the board
In connection with their official acts.
and
Whereas, as these statements
were given wide publicity in state
publications and otherwise, and
Whereas. it is undoubtedly true
| that a very substantial number OF
the people of the state have been led
to believe that such adverse state
ments are true in whole or in part.
and
Whereas, we believe that the vel
fare of the university and the conf
monest principles of justice demand
that the truth or falsity of these
! charges and declarations be deter
mined at an early day by a vigorous
and impartial Investigation; there
fore. be ii
Resolved. that a formal request
be. and is hereby, made the governor
OF the state that this matter be
brought TO the earliest attention of
legislature to the end that a search
ing inquiry and Investigation be
made by that body with power behind
such investigation to compel the at
tendance and testimany OF witnesses
under oath and to bring out the
truth in its findings; and
Resolved further that a certified
copy of this resolution be forwarded
to the governor Of the state, attest
ed by the president and secretary Of

NAY HAVE SLIPPED
INTO HOT HOLE

Il is believed that the famous 9hot
hole over near the Hot Springs re.
sort has claimed another victim. A
section hand employed by the West
ern Pacific went to the "hot-hole' on
Christmas day, taking along a few
soiled clothes in a bucket, and has
not been seen since. He left the
bunk house where the section crew
are quartered, saying he was going to
wash some clothes. Officials believe
his body is somewhere in the depths
of the old crater, which Is full Of
boiling water.
No trace of the mar or his clothes
can be found around the crater of the
old volcano. Added TO the disappear.
ance, however, is one feature which
makes It seem probable that he did
not disappear for some private cas-
which he did not desire to be known
This is the fact that all his beloH-
ings are still in the bunk house and
that he left a sum OF money in a
shirt pocket The money left amount

NEWS OF FROM ALL PARTS OF lHE SIAlE

| Rios. decided Monday night that he
was one bad hombre. And to give
vent to his blood-thirsty notions he
drew a knife and stabbed Cowboy
Bill. whose real name is Santos
Bernel.
The stabbing affair vas the sequel
to a drunken debauch that had been

ton now lies very badly wounded on
a cot at the County Hospital. Rios
had been hanging about the Silver
Brick during his drunken spree and
vas constantly trying to find trouble
with everyone.
Rios was repeatedly Quilted when
he offered insult and injury to other
parties. This kindness shown him
finally worked him into a state OF
feeling where he believed he was a
real bad man and had the goat of the
whole town of Elko and environs cor
raled In his own pen So he decided
to take charge of the Silver Brick
Saloon and run Cowboy Bill out from
behind the bar.
Cowboy Bill was tending bar for
his brother who owns the place, and
when Rios attempted TO come in be
hind where he had no business to
enter he was told to keep out and
was pushed away Whereupon his
dignity suffered such painful injury
that he drew a knife and thrust the
blade deep into the abdomen OF Cow
boy Bill, infiicting a nasty wound
which lacked but little of reaching
the vital organs.
Bill then reached behind him for
the drawer that held the gun and
Rios ran around in front of the bar
and again attempted to stab his vic
tim in the back by reaching over
the bar. Cowboy Bill got hold of the
gun and rising to a level fired over
the bar but the willy Rios had fallen
to the floor where he remained for
some moments when he arose and
walked unmolested out of the door.
He met the brother of Cowboy Bill
a short distance from the saloon and
returned with him and was shortly
after arrested by the authorities who
had been notified
