One hundred and five men are in

IF YOU DON'T LOVE OLD GLORY
DON'T LOVE YOU

The following poem was written
by one of Churchill county's volun-
teers. and is printed to show the
spirit that animates the boys who
have gone TO the front.
Wouldn't you hate to be a Stacker,
And with the Stacker stand,
With a brand upon your forehead
And exemption in your hand?
Wouldn't you hate to face your mother
And your sister, and your dad.
And tell them where you'd been,
And show them what you had?
Wouldn't you hate to see the look on
your pretty sweetheart's face,
When she found her noble hero
Was a Stacker in the race?
Wouldn't you hate to see her take
Your ring from off her finger
And hand 1t back to you and say
That's all, you needn't linger!b"
Wouldn't you hate TO see that sweat
er coat
So proudly made for you,
Adjoining handsome Billie Brown,
Or gallant private Drew
Wouldn't you hate to hear your
neighbors.
Your old school mates and your
chums.
Say "ha, ha- There he goes
Instead of "hurrah' There he
comes"
Then wake up. lad and be man.
Don't put it of too long;
Tear up those papers in your hand
And start of with this song:
I'll never be n Stacker
And with the slackers stand
With shame upon my forehead
And exemption in my hand!
| would rather be a soldier,
And with the soldiers go
To fight for home and country
And vanquish freedoms foe.
| would rather show my dear old dad
He's the father of man,
Than to be a sulking Stacker
From the ranks OF Uncle Sam.
may never be a hero,
But I'll do the best can;
I'm going TO claim my heritage
And be a regular man"
BY son of Nevada,

PITTSBURG, Nov. 22.-Conscription
of Englishmen in the United States
soon was forecast in a speech here of
Brigadier.General w. A. White, head
of the British recruiting mission in
this country. He said:
There have been many claims of
exemptions from the draft by British
subjects here on the grounds that
they are aliens. This is not fair. In
a short time they will have no choice.
Negotiations are going forward and
we will be in a position to come and
fetch them to the colors.
British subjects in the United
States should accept the responsibili.
ties with the advantages Of this
country and fight under either the
Stars and Stripes or the Union Jack"
General White said that in the four
months he has been in this country
$4,000 British and Canadian subjects
have volunteered.

RED CROSS TAKING SPECIAL
CARE OF BELGIAN ORPHANS

The children Of Belgium, thousands
of whom are orphans, are to be the
objects OF special care on the part OF
the American Red Cross department
for Belgium. This department is in
charge OF Ernest p. Bicknell, former
ly director general of civilian relief
OF the American Red Cross and now
deputy commissioner to Europe.
Although the Red Cross war council
has already appropriated S340,S54 for
relief work among the children of Bel
gium alone, the total Red Cross ap-
preparations for Belgian relief far sur
pass these figures. Foor and clothing
alone have been purchased for the
Belgians at a cost of s173,000 in addi-
tiion to other supplies.
Many of the children in free Bel.
gIum are exposed to shell fire and are
in constant danger of loss OF life or
limb. The minister of the interior for
Belgium has made a special request OF
the American Red Cross to save these
children. In answer to this request
asylums are being organized in France
and Switzerland where they can be
kept in safety. The war council re-
Gently appropriated s103,sOO to pro.

For the care OF the hundreds OF

brought a response denying that the
government intended attempting to
corner" the product but not giving
the desired information as to the
plans OF price.fixing at eighty.six
cents. Since then officials, individ.

cd protests to Washington. The Reno

silver producing interests and Wig.
orous protest against action that will
be detrimental to the development OF
the silver.mining in Nevada will be

HIGH SCHOOL
CADET DAY
Great Preparations Under Way
That Will Make 1t Long
Remembered

Thanksgiving day this year is to be
one OF the banner days for EIko. All
over the country this particular day is
known as school sport day. 1t is then
that most of the large football games
are played by the large colleges. II
is the one day in the fall OF the year
when whole communities turn out in
recognition OF schools and colleges.
Thanksgiving is distinctly the boys
day.
This year, for the first time, Thanks.
giving will be the Elko High School
Day. Great preparations are in pro.
gress for making this Thanksgiving
one worth remembering. And in these
days of serious things the community
should, in sheer protection for itself,
take a day off occasionally.
The first event OF the day will be a
desperate battle between the military
cadets OF the Winnemucca high school
and the cadets of the Elko high school,
meeting on the fottball field. The
Winnemucca boys defeated the Elko
boys a couple of weeks ago in a
splendid game played at Winnemucca
The Elko boys have blood in their
eyes now, and merely await the mo-
ment when the gong sounds. II will
be the only real game of football ever
played in Elko. For the people who
do not know what football is IL will
be a treat: and for those who do
know the game, it will be two treats
Then in the evening comes one of
the great events of the year; a grand
military ball. The boys will be in their
new uniforms; 1t will be a sight worth
seeing. 1t is by courtesy OF the X. p.
lodge that the boys are able to get
this night for their dance. From time
out of mind Thanksgiving night has
always been the X. p. night OF the
year. This year the lodge very gen.
erously voted to give the night 10
the boys. and then went the score one
better by voting to attend the dance.
All other organizations are behind
the movement too. The hall bids to
be as well filled as It was last year at
the military bali.
On next Tuesday afternoon the high
school cadets will lay seige to the
City of Elko. The entire city will be
divided into sections. a sergeant, a
corporal and squad taking military
possession of each section. Headquar.
ters will be established at the high
school building. TO which the squad
and division leaders will report peri
odically. The city will be given an
illustration of military efficiency; the
boys will be seen conducting their
own charges with vital results.
The receipts will be used for helping
to pay for the unifors for the boys
and other needed military equipment
Thanksgiving Day this year is Elko
High School Day; and this is your
school, Get behind the team Thurs
day.

PEACE TALK
Is ALL BOSH

Asserting that peace talk and state
ments to the effect that the morale of
the German army is bad, or that the
kaiser's forces and his country have
in any way lost their ability to cope
with the great war problems, is
"bosh." w. A. Killing. field director OF
the war council OF the American Red
Cross war fund said today II was alb
solutely necessary that the American
people get behind the Red Cross, the
Y. NJ. c. A. and other work OF this
nature IL they want this country 10
come out OF the war victorious.
Il read only this morning an article
IN a San Francisco paper" said Mr..
Killing. which declared that the morale
Of the German troops had been weak.
ened and that Germany was on its last
legs. This kind OF talk is not true. We
know in Washington that It is not
true and the distribution of this kind
OF talk is aiding Germany. II Is a
part of the German propaganda and.
though taken up sometimes by inno-
cent people who wish to get into the
limelight, it does great harm and
should be suppressed.
ut is talk of this kind that damp.
ems the ardor of Americans and caus-
es them to wait before contributing to
the Red Cross or the Y. NJ. C. A.,
and the sooner it is stopped the great.
er the support the government will
have in this war"
Mr.. Killing is on a short visit to Reno
to check up the war funds secured
there in the last drice. He is making a
tour OF the country checking up the
work OF each Red Cross branch and
will leave tonight for Arizona
Nevada is to be complimented on
the work 1t has DONE" said Mr. King
I'VE realize that in the last Red Cross
drive you had absolutely no instruc.
tion and considering the circum.
stances this state came forward well,
just as it has done in every other
patriotic activity"
