Sheckelford Would Abandon

By Carl D. aroat

Omitted Pr'ss staff correspondent
Washington, Feb. 2s.-The house for
eign affairs committee today upheld
President Wilson's request for power
to meet the international situation
but with two important restrictions.
Authorization for use of 'other in
strumcntahties, aside from guns,
gunners and money, was STRICKEN from
the original Flood bill, thus limiting
the Presidents authority to some ex-
tent.
The second restriction was the in
sertion Of a provision against use of
the war risk bureau TO insure ships
carrying munitions.
The latter provisions may bring the
whole armed ship and munitions ques-
tions into the present situation and
develop an. unpleasant complication
when vote comes
Those voting against the report were
Representatives Shaekleford and Hud-
dleston, democrats, and Representa-
tives Cooper and Porter, republicans,
all Of whom filed minority report
Representative Thompson also filed a
minority report.
Grants S1o0, 100000
As the house bill now stands, it pro-
Iyidcs for granting President Wilson
guns gunners and $l00,000,0 ,0O0-- the
guns and gunners to be used to ''pro-
tect ships and citizens of the United
States against unlawful attack in their
lawful and peaceful pursuits on the
high seas.
The three proposed amendments TO
strip Wilson of power to arm muni-
tion ships were voted down as sop
to the entire munition ship crowd. The

Would Be Fine Spectacle.
"The moral effect of the American
entry is all that is hoped for by the
European countries. They declare the
spectacle of only few American troops
fighting the German armies in France

"The feeling in the allied nations to-

greatly. The United States now is look

fighting the Central Powers.
Colonel Hale was visitor to the
French and British fighting fronts and
at one time was under heavy shell fire
in Ypres. He described the feeling in
France and England as one of absolute
certainty that this spring win bring the
attack that will smash the German
lines.
In France, he said, there is a great

which have been taken to cut the use of
food, he neither saw nor heard of any
cases of starvation.

NEW POWER PLANT
MAY Be BUILT SOON
Company Forming That Will Sup
ply Elko, Eureka and White
Pine Counties With
Electric Energy

Nevada is to have another big cleo
trio power plant according to the
report from Carson, where it was
announced that following a hearing
in the State engineers Office, a per-
NIT has been granted to appropriate
the waters of South Fork. Elko Coun-
ty, for power purposes, says the
Reno Gazette.
1t has been stated that in the Ruby
mountains south of Elko there is an
immense water supply going to
waste which, if entirely conserved
and made use of. would supply much
of the State with electric power.
The Elko-Lamoille Power Company
is using but a small part of the avail
able water and it is understood that
the new company is to be located on
the opposite side of the mountains
in what is known as Kleckner can-
yon.
Mr.. Ench says that the surveys and
plans have been completed and call
for the construction Of dams to raise
the water in the several lakes in the
mountains that will be used, con-
Quoting this water with that from
six streams to the power house which
is to be built nine miles from the
converging point of the waters, and
the building of a concrete dam 1000
feet wide and 70 feet high. Mr..
Ench says that it is expected 5000
horsepower will be generated, and
the project when completed will cost
81, 500, 900.
A contract has been signed, con-
tinues the statement. with one of the
mining companies of Ely for delivery
of power by means of a 140-mile
power line, on June l, 1918, and pow
er will also be supplied to the mines
in Bullion. Union and Eureka. 1t is
understood that the project has been
financed and that construction will
begin within a short time.

APPEAL TO NEVADA SCHOOLS
Teachers and Pupils Asked to Do Th.;.
Share In the Present Crisis

The State Board Of Education
through ITS secretary. Prof. j. z
Bray, is mailing out to all the teach.
ers of the public schools in Nevadaa
copy of the following resolution.
passed by the Board at a meeting
held May 2. 1917:
THE State Board of Education
convinced of the imperative need Of
outstanding all the resources of the
State, urges upon school officials and
school children who have talent or
capacity for service of any type the
patriotic duty of making their con.
tribution in this hour of National
need. Since there is great scarcity
of help on farms and since the school
code provides that school trustees
may excuse the absence of pupils for
local reasons as explained In Section
2O3, page So, and since both local and
National reasons now exist for e..
cusing at least some of them; there
fore
Resolved, That in the opinion Of
the State Board of Education during
the present crisis the need of the
pupils service on the farm and stock
range, in gardening and allied In
dustries should be construed as a
valid excuse from school, and in such
Ease compulsory attendance should
not be enforced against any pupil
for such time as he may be employed
in work in any of the lines above
named; and be it further
Resolved. That all pupils in the
public schools above the age of IL
years, whose standing is such that
there will be no question of their
promotion or graduation and who
may regularly engage in these pur-
suits, shall have these facts consid-
cred in lieu of their regular studies,
this work to apply only to the work
of the school year ending June 80.
1917.
School authorities are urged to
assist pupils in making up work es
sential to graduation; this right Of
promotion is to be based on ability
to do the work of the next grade"

Old Mother Shipton, the sixteenth
century prophecies, may have been
guessing, but it rather looks as II she
knew what she was talking about
when she wrote these remarkable
lines:
"When pictures look alive with move
ments free,
When ships like fishes swim below the
sea,
When men outstripping birds can scour
the sky,
Then half the world deep drenched In
blood shall die"
Maybe the old seeress didn't put
it in those exact words. We suspect
that her utterances were dressed up
a bit by somebody with a better gift
for making the metre come out
straight. But there isn't much ques-
ton about the ideas. She seems to
have forseen movies, submarines and
airplanes more than 300 years before
they came.
We hope, however, that the last
line quoted is a poetic exaggeration.

time that things were going wrong
in Russia" says the Journal. 1.-The
censors tried to hide conditions in
Petrograd, but the French Deputies
had information about the general
decentralization and the pro-German
intrigues in the highest Russian cir
cles. This information came princi-
pally from Socialist sources, but it
was fully verified by the French
representatives who took part in the
Petrograd war conference in Febru-
airy and early in March. Deputy
Doumergue at that time telegraphed
to the Foreign Affairs Committee of
the French Parliament: The chaos
is worse than we feared. For the
time being the Russian army is prac-
tically out of the war. 1t may be
reorganized. but there is no hope
that it will be able to start a new of

Gar and informed the ruler CURLY
that he would have to separate from
the Czarina. In a stormy audience
the Ambassador said under the cir
cumstances a divorce would be the
proper thing; but, he added, the
British government would not insist
upon such.a radical step if the pro-
German activities of the Czarina were
stopped in some way. To accomplish
this, the Ambassador suggested that
the Empress be locked up in some
convent or health resort until the
war ended.
