AL Norton, who on the night of

10 rounds with Willie Meehan, has
Joined the marine corps through
the Reno recruiting station and is
now in training at the Mare Island
station. Norton's real name is AL
fred BreauX and a stimulus is
given his desire to get into action
by the French blood in his veins.
Breaux is 2S years of age and is
known to every fight fan in Nevada
and California and his reputation
has made him known in many other
states. After his fight here it
was generally remarked that he
was a wonderful specimen of al
most physical perfection, and if the
Germans have as much difficulty
in putting him out of action as
Meehan had on the night Of July
8 and eventually fail in the at
tempt as Meehan did, Breaux
should be able to hold many a
mile of trench alone and unassist-

Registered Man Made Error

If you were registered and after
watching the papers daily for six
weeks with your nerves on edge,
suddenly discovered on the eve Of
the drawing that you were five
months over the age limit, would
it make you sore or would you be
happy. This is what happened to
"Mox' Charles, a heno man. He
does not know whether he is sore
or happy, but as long as he is
registered he is going to take his
chances. In reading the papers he
saw that all men born in 1886
would be under the age limit and
must register. Without figuring
any further he ~resigtered, the date
of his birth being January, 1886,
making him five months over the
limit.

Death Valley Scotty is now enjoy

an angel from Chicago, who is said
to be paying for his services at the
rate of $3.50 a month, with every

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP
IN FRANCE, July 24.-The Amer
lean troops have began intensive
bayonet. hand-grenade, t~rench-mor-
tar and machine-gun practice and
will devote two hours daily to
these branches of modern warfare.
The officers have decided to adept
the French system of selecting the
most efficient men for fightin., and
the less efficient for the one"ous
camp duties, such as cooking and
cleaning up.
Accordingly each corporal will
be allowed to bid for Is men who,
in his estimation, are the keenest
and most alert and have the best
qualities to compose his squad.
The staff officers are securing
the neighborhood for miles around
in search of billets for their troops
yet to come. When the next troops
come they will find their quarters
all ready and will not have to pro-
vide them, as did the original di-
vision.

EXEMPTION BOARD
TO MEET IN RENO
FEDERAL DISTRICT BOARD TO
CONSIDER CASES ON
APPEAL

Notice of his selection as a mem
Der of the federal district exemp-
ton board for the state OF Nevada
was received some time ago by J
X. Turner, consulting engineer for
the Jumbo Extension and other
Goldfield mining companies, and
confirmation of this appointment
was contained in yesterdays press
dispatches. Mr.. Turner has receiv-
ed notice that the members of this
board will meet in Reno nex week,
for the purpose of organizing and
determining upon future procedure.
Whether the federal board snaig
1T Reno, where all it's work will be
conducted and where all appeals
will be submitted, or If the board
will travel through the state. hear
ing appeals and applications for
exemption at the various registra-
ton precincts, are among the mat
tiers to be discussed.
These questions. however, may
be determined by instructions from
the office of Provost Marshal-Gen-
eral Crowder, at Washington, and
all such instructions will probably
be in the hands of the board at the
time of its meeting in Reno. Mr..
Turner wired his acceptance of the
appointment upon its receipt and
has expressed a desire to give all
the time and aid in his power to
assist in the work of the board.

SEES NO PERIL
IN j. S. FLYERS
GERMAN GENERAL SCOFFS AT
AERIAL POWER OF
AMERICANS

COPENHAGEN, July "a. The
commanding general of the German
aerial forces has issued al inter-
view to- the German newspapers in
which he attempts to discount the
prospective participation of Amer
lean aviators in the war for mas
terry of the air.
Dispatches from the United States
telling of hundreds of aviators who
are to be graduated weekly and of
the thousands of airplanes to be
constructed, give the general an
occasion to speak scoffingly of what
he terms the usual Anglo-Ameri-
can bluff and American weakness
for big talk and tall figures.
The German people, says the
general, need o be disturbed by
these foolish scare stories which
show all the characteristics of
American tongue valor."
He adds hat Americas present
supply of army and navy airplanes
is negligible. He cites the Morn
ing Post to prove that the Ameri-
cans have not developed a practi-
cable type of military plane and
says therefore they must begin from
the beginning.

Indian Rancher Take Bride

Coony Clifford, a young S%hoshone
Indian, was married a few days
ago by Justice Dunseath of TOno-

of a rancher in the northern end

with every attention. He acquired
a good education and is now a
prosperous cattle owner.
