NO GUARD
FOR NEVADA

On account of Encouragement have
ing been given by the war depart
ment 20 the work OF organizing the
Nevada national guards unless as
sursnce can be given that the organi-
zanon will be permanent and that
the men will drill a least twice each
week 1t is likely hat its organization
will be dispensed with.
Gov. Boyle and Lieut.. Gov. Sulli-
van, ex-oficio adjutant general, have
had several conferences on the sub
iect and as yet have reached no def
mite conclusion, but at the present
time 1t looks as though there will be
no national guard.
Recruiting for the national guard
would have to be made from the
state at large and this would make
IL very inconyenient for the men too
drill twice each week as required by
the war department. Sullivan said
over the telephone from Carson. Ii
also is considered doubtful whether
a sufficient number of recruits could
be secured on a basis of permanent
organization.
The army orders require a nation
al guard in Nevada of 2400 men
consisting Of one regiment of infan-
try and one squadron of cavalry.
Until the a department should
accept the guard all the expense in
connection with its organization and
maintenance would have to be borne
by the state. 1t also would be neces-
sary to provide an armory sufficient
to house the equipment and ac-
confinement of the men.
Some applications for enlistment in
the national guard have been ~receiv-
ed from various sections of the state.
Sullivan said.
II is understood that a large num-
Der of applications for the various
ranks of commissioned officers In the
national guard have beer received.

Tanks Widowed Through SWamps Like Monsters
 of Prehistoric
 Long Ago. LAND IS POCKMARKED Crater Holes Filled with Water and Wounded Men Struggling Through
 the Sea of Mud.

PARIS, Aug. 9.-"A birdseye view of he'll"
 This is how the Flanders battle field looked to an American aviator who flew over it at the height of the great Allied offensive.
 T flew at an altitude of about two hundred feet,' he wrote, from somewhere at the front. The land was pock-marked by yawning cra- ters and holes, filled with water and wounded men struggling in the mud. Tanks widowed through the swamp like prehistoric mon- sters.
 "The old enemy first and second lines could be traced with diff- culty. German wire entanglements were buried. Down below l could see tiny figures of men-French and British infantry-frantically digging in everywhere, far in ad- vance of their objectives.
 "Stretcher- bearers could be pick ed out, crawling back with band aged-wounded. A German albatross (biplane) could be seen half-bur- jed in muck. Further back, scurry- ing from shell hole to shell hole, the gray of German infantry could be discerned. The enemy fought desperately but ineffectively, yield ing steadily.
 Hundreds of spans bridged the stagnant trickle called the Yser Can al and over these bridges scurried raen and supplies.
 "I could see artillery hurrying to advanced positions. Pack mules, carrying machine guns; more infan- try, vans of munitions, struggled forward.
 lover all this dark scene of carn- age lowered black skies, pouring an incessant torrent of rain. The roar of guns was indescribable.
 "Titantic explosions punctuated the continuous fury of sound. The storm increased in fury with the intensity of the combat below"

CORN CROP WILL BE LARGEST IN
 U. s. HISTORY
Wheat Crop Prospects Are Not so Bright Although Winter Wheat Returns
 Indicate Large Yield

WASHINGTON, Aug. g. - The largest crop of corn ever grown in the United States is the prospect of the coming harvest, according to the Department of Agriculture's August crop report, issued today. It shows the corn prospects were improved to an extent of 67,000,000 bushels during July, indicating that the to- tai production will be 3,191 ,000, 900 bushels.
 The wheat report shows a de- crease of 25,000,00O bushels.
 Spring wheat had bad month and the prospects decreased 40,- 100000 bushels, but the winter wheat returns indicated 15,000, ,000 bushels more than the forecast, or 153, 1000, ,00O million bushels.

ing Sea section and at that time MT. Fortmann stated that 1t was the largest run of those fish known there for "A years and for that req son he thought "A years was the cycle of their return.
 "One way in which we could find out for certain" said MT. Burk- hardt, would be to block the en- tire coast section of Alaska off into districts and prohibit all kinds of commercial fishing in certain of the districts for one year out of three. This would allow all the fish in that district to reach the streams and spawn. When their spawn had matched, grown up and returned, the cannerymen would know from the size of the run in those dis tricts that the cycle had worked its way around, and at the same time the fish supply would be re- plenished."
 Recent reports received from the Ketchikan section indicate that the run is the latest ever known, but that the fish are coming in good quantities and the canneries are getting all they can handle, How ever the cannerymen there look for the run to be short, on account of its lateness, but believe they will be fole to put up a good percent age of their normal pack for the section on account of the greater number of canneries operating this year.

COOK INLET PACK FAILS
Captain GIascock Brings a Report of the Pack of All CannerieS to
 the Westward.

Can the combined canneries of the Icy Straits and Southeastern Alaska section, combined with the Prince William Sound sections, put up large enough pack to make up for the shortage in the Boring Sea and Cook Inlet sections, is one of the questions which will have a vital bearing on the price of canned salmon this year.
 Reports received from all sections of Alaska indicate that the Icy Straits section is the only place where the run has been normal, and there it has been greater than ever before in the history of the canning industry. @ 4-z The Cook Inlet pack is practi cal failure and will not reach 40 per cent. of former years, according to the statements of the cannery superintendents operating in that section made to officers of the Ad- miral Evans which reached port last night from the westward.
 The failure of the Cook Inlet pack is attributed partially to high tides which carried out the traps recently, and also due to a hard off shore wind which is blowing and which tends to keep the fish in the center of the inlet. The fish are not schooling near the streams, according to Captain Glascock, of the Evans.
 Reports on the pack put up by the .canneries of the coast from the head of Cook Inlet to Yakutat, and including two canneries in the Icy Straits section were brought in by Captain Glascock. Starting at the head of the inlet the pack put up at the time the Evans left the canneries southbound was as fol- lows:
 Goose Bay, 19,000;
 Kenai, 23,000;
 Seldovia, 15,000;
 Port Garham, 32,O00;
 Shepard Point, 24,0O0;
 Carlisle Packing Co.,, 80,000; | Valdez, 25,000;
 Katalla, 26,OO0; Yakutat, 45,000; Glacier Fisheries, Excursion h. let, 71,0O0;
 Hoonah, 123, 900. In discussing the phenominal fea- lures of the salmon run this morn- ing, F. o. Burkhardt, of the Chil- kat cannery, stated that in his opinion fishermen of Alaska don't know anything about the salmon and that all figures as to the cycle of their return will have to be re- vised.
 It has been the popular belief that the humpies return to the spawning grounds. every two years and the sockeyes every four years. No one knows what the cycle of their return is. Marked fish have been caught now and again, but for the large number of marked fish which are turned loose, the small number caught is no true in- dication.
 President Fortmann, of the Alas ka Packers Association, once stated that his opinion was that the hsh returned after a cycle of twenty-four years. Not long ego an immense run of humpies occurred in the Ser
