ARTILLERY NOW
in NEW JERSEY
Battery E Has Been Transferred
from Camp Mills to Camp
Merritt

According to the Walla Walla I'm
ion word has been received there by
telegraph the Washington battalion
telegraph that the Washington battal-
ion of the 146th field artillery have
been moved to Camp Merritt, Engle-
wood, New Jersey, where they have
fine quarters in wooden barracks build
ings, big Improvement over their
tent life on Long Island. It is be-
lieved by some that these are intended
for winter quarters, by others that the
move merely means early embarka-
ton for France.
The address Of the members of the
artillery therefore is now as follows:
Private --, Camp Merritt, En-
glewood, N. j., and down in the left
hand corner of the envelope write:
Battery E, 146th Field Artillery.
The editor of the Courier Reporter
is in receipt of the following letter
from Capt. Fred M. We'll, written at
Camp Mills:
Some few days ago received your
letter and copy Of the circular letter
which you issued in behalf of the
emergency fund for the Benton coun-
ty boys. Your always worthy and pa
triotic efforts are worth more than the
few lines / will be able to write you
as compensation, but the testimonial
included from the men of the Battery
individually is better response.
] wired that you should be allowed
to use what portions of the. letter I
wrote O'Larey as you saw fit and you
may get some items from it which will
be of interest. AS a like courtesy to
OLarey am sending him copy Of
this letter with few more details of
interest to the home folks, and this,
! think, will. be the last communica-
tion until you hear from US cover
there"
Of the three regiments in the Goth
Brigade Of Field Artillery, our regi-
ment only has been chosen for horse
artillery the others having been mot
orized. This, we feel, is quite an hon.
or and will be joy to the men, as most
Of them are horsemen. We are very
busy now receiving equipment, etc.

of insurance, i. e., $4,000 each. These
items have attracted no little atten-
ton. However, / take no credit for
this, as a man who could sell sage
brush deserves no great credit for
selling life insurance and Liberty
bonds.
The letter of appreciation, signed
by all members of the battery, will be
published in next weeks issue.

thority willed. We have been very
considerate of these men, at the same
time exacting from them an applica-
ton to their work that will place them
on a plane with the other men of the
battery.
We all miss Washington, and what
it means to us, evidenced by the fol
lowing Battalion song written by our
Battery Clerk, Donald Sampson, of
North Yakima, en- route to Charlotte
from Walla Walla:
We're mighty long way from Wash
ington,
But the memories of her are near.
Well come back across the seas,
withsa score of victories
To. the land that we all hold so dear.
Oh, Washington, oh, Washington,
For your glory must ever be.
So. we'll fight for the right and Wash
ington,
+ For the land and the home of the
free.
We do this one quite well, also this

Some few, days since wrote gen.
eral letter to business men of Benton
county, asking assistance in the mat
ter of battery fund. Contrary to
the deductions of some, this fund is
not for the purpose of providing lux
uries for officers or men, as to edibles
or the like; officers haye to buy every
thing, even food, in the field. 1t is for
the purpose of emergencies constantly
arising in the matter of general COM
fort to those i'll (which the red-tape
and new organization will not solve
promptly, extra necessities in travel,
ETC., supervised and accounted for by
a committee of all the officers and rep
resentatives of the enlisted personnel.
Five hundred men of the locality would
gladly come thru on this if they pro-
perly understood the facts. Some
not, of course, for the reason they are
against everything. The pity is that
we must fight for such people, but
they are with US, and those Of US who
have been big enough to go to this
war should also be big enough to pity
these people-not feel harshly toward
them.
/ should have added to the above
that when the Liberty Loan campaign
was completed at Charlotte, 172 out Of
1876 officers and men of my battery
had taken a bond, the total being near

tillery was absorbed into the 146th
Field Artillery, 41st Division, U. S. N.
G., but our battalion was cared for as
a whole and we became the End bat
TALON of the aforesaid regiment. The
regiment is made up of headquarters
company, a supply company, medi-
cal company and six batteries of ar
tillery of 1913 men each, approximately
1900 men in all. ga" battery is from
New Mexico (National Guard) in COM
mand of Capt. Charles Marie deBrem-
mond, Frenchman who owns large
stock ranch in Roswell, N. M. and
with whom artillery has been hobby
for years. Capt. DeBremmond re-
ceived his military training in the
Swiss, German and French armies,
and when coming to America pursued
his military hobby to the extent OF as
sisting to equip his own battery. This
battery is considered one of the most
expert in the United States and SUI
perior to many regular army units.
Medical, headquarters, supply and bat
teries B and C, together with regimen
tai staff, were made out Of the End
Idaho infantry, and our colonel is Nv.

man, of much personality. This ar

Of course, we will go to France and
much sooner than anyone anticipated.
Much progress has been made and
more training will be had when we
get cover there" but rest assured
this is serious work and grim work

for the reason the responsibility is al
most beyond conception. "Getting by"
won't go in this arm of the service.
Rest assured when the day arrives
we go quietly up the gang-plank that
will separate us from the best country
on earth to the ship that will take US
to France, there will be some deep
thinking and heart-aches a-plenty, but
I know of no man in the command who
does not wish to do his full duty,

spirit of the entire division, which is

r WHO JIMMY IS

James Clay ("Jimmy'') Dunphy is
not an owner of fabulous mines. as is
supposed by the Tonopah Times,
judging from the article below. but
a plain rancher and stockman with
holdings of more than a million acres
in Eureka. Elko and Lander Coun-
ties. The Dunphy estate. of which
Jimmy" is part owner, has an as
sessed valuation in Eureka County
alone of more than 5000. 600, which
is not supposed to be more than one
third of the total holdings. So this
accounts in part. at least, for
"Jimmy's' being on Easy street."
The following is the article taken
from the Times:
The following item clipped from a
San Francisco paper leads one to be-
lieve that one James Dunphy will
have it pretty soft for the rest of his
days. He will receive according to
the San Francisco paper $1,000 in
cold cash every month as long as he
lives, and all Jimmy had to do in re-
turn was to turn over his Nevada
holdings. This sounds pretty good
for Jimmy, but the Times, and per-
haps many other papers of the State,
are wondering who James Dunphy is
and where his fabulous mine hold
ings are located. Here's the item:
"All the Nevada land holdings of
James Clay ("Jimmy'o Dunphy of
San Francisco have been turned over
to an eastern syndicate in considera-
ton of a life income of $1,000 per
month and the payment of all debts
owed by Dunphy, according to an
nouncement made in San Francisco.
Dunphy's largest bills were for
Turkish baths, which seemed to be
his speciality. A suit was brought
against him in 1915. in San Francisco,
by the Burns Hamman Baths, for
So, 1868 in bills for baths. This suit
was settled and all other claims
against him were paid"

JEWS REJOICE

Jews throughout the world will re-
joice over the downfall of autocracy
in Russia, for under the new order
of things the members of their race
have been granted the same rights
and privileges allowed other citizens.
There will be no more BLACK Hun
dred" outbreaks and no more blood
atonement" trials, says the Salt Lake
Tribune, and the Jews who have
been compelled to remain in Russia
will be able to take part in the up
building of a great republic based
upon the equality of man, truth, lib
erty and justice. At least these
things are promised at the start. and
if there is any failure it will not be
because the Jews have refused to
perform their part after centuries
of oppression. We should not be
surprised if Jewish capital all over
the world is poured into Russia at the
close of the war and the country de-
veloped to a considerable extent by
members of the once despised race.
1t would be the best possible thing
that could happen to the new re-
public if it should be financially aided
by the Jews in the hour of need and
it may be that money from this
source can be obtained to prosecute
the wal to a successful conclusion.
Stranger things have happened.

OLD GLORY

Our flag is considered generally
one of the most beautiful flags in the
world. To loyal Americans it is the
most beautiful. and should be dis
played on all patriotic occasions. AS
"Old Glory and THE Star Spangle
Banner" our flag has received its
baptism of fire and blood in our fight
for freedom-and justice, and is loved
and revered among all nations wher-
eve popular rule holds sway.
Let as fly our flag on the public
buildings. and let the people display
them on their places of business and
residences as a mark of loyalty and
devotion to the land whose blessings
they are privileged to enjoy.

Nearly Landed In
A Federal Prison

1t is reported that an American
born and raised in the United States
took occasion to make reasonable
remarks to a recruiting officer of the
United States army who was in
Gardnerville a few days ago and
came near being taken to the federal
prison. His pitiable ignorance. it is
said, is all that saved him from con-
finement In a federal prison. This
is no time to make reasonable attack
upon the Government and upon the
flag Of the United States. Great and
lasting harm may result to ones self
and family. and in a time such as
this we must all be loyal citizens

We are now at war with Germany.
The action of Congress declaring war
came after cool and deliberate con-
sideration of the message of Presi-
dent Wilson delivered before Con-
gress on the night of April 2. The
United States has not entered the
war rashly nor unmindful of the con-
sequences that a war with the Cen
trial Powers will involve. Repeated at
tempts had been made by the Presi-
dent to keep in friendly relations
with Germany and her allies; and it
was only after Germany had shown
the United States by her %unrestrict-
ed submarine policy that an open
break must be inevitable, that war
was declared.
This country has entered the war
fully realizing what such a step in
wolves. We are now allied with the
other great nations who are fighting
for democracy and free government
against autocracy and despotism-
England, France. Russia, Italy and
Belgium. The fight for popular
government and the rights of hu-
mainly must prevail. This is no
time for disloyalty and treachery.
We are all Americans. America is
u country, by birth or adoption,
and our love and devotion to her
should be supreme. We must stand
united. n country. one flag, one
people.

S0ditiOuS Remarks Cause
Former H0Vadan Trouble

Winnemucca Star: This paper
has been informed from a reliable
source that Fred Miller. formerly
one of the proprietors of the Nevada
Meat market at this place. was put
under arrest at Ogden. Utah. for
making seditious remarks. From
what can be learned, Miller was in
a bakery when a man named Hess
remarked in the German language
to Miller something to the effect
that in the event of a war declaration
by this country against Germany
poison could be put in bread as an
effective way to get rid of a lot of
Americans. Miller answered by say
ing that he could do the same with
meat. A lady in the shop. who I'M
derstood German. heard the remarks
and notified the officers. when both
Miller and Hess were placed under
arrest.

MEN MARRYING
TO AVOID SERVICE
New York City Clerk Says Man
Is a Coward Who Hides Be-
hind Woman's Skirts

New York, April 10.-Young men
who marry to avoid military service
were to-day branded as towards and
"slackers'' by City Clerk Scully, who,
as head of the marriage license bu-
reau, has become indignant at the
unprecedented rush of applicants for
licenses. seeking. he has become con-
vinced, to put themselves beyond the
pale of CONSUMPTION.
The unprecedented increase of
applications is largely due to the re-
cent announcement that all single
men between 10 and rs years may be
drafted" Mr.. Scully said. ANY
man who thus seeks to hide behind a
woman's shirts is a moral and a ply
sicial coward. The proposition to
draft young men is driving hundreds
of them into hasty marriages. All
my clerks who have heard words
dropped by the couples and direct
admissions by some of them, agree
that this is So"
Theodore Wasserman in charge of
the municipal marriage chapel, run
ia connection with the bureau, said
many of the young women told him
their husbands had begged them to
save them from the trenches by
hurrying to the altar.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT



From the Goldfeld Tribune: From
what 10 now foreshadowed of the
policy of the administration. this
country will not rely upon volunteers.
1t will not place the whole burden Of
the country's defense upon those
who r willing to assume it. just
because they are willing. The only
fair. honest and democratic way of
defending this democracy. the only
fair and square" way to distribute
the burden, is to place it equally
upon those who are willing and those
who are not. In the country which
has attacked as not a man Is asked
whether or not he is willing to fight.
And in this country the burden
should be and probably will be.
equally distributed among those who
share the privileges and the benefits
of the free Government their fathers
gave them. And the foreign-born
citizen, with whom we have shared
on a basis of equality the blessings
of free government, will be expected
to bear the same part of the burden
as the sons of the men who made the
Government possible.

AMERICA AND GERMANY
NOW At WAR
Following Memorable Message of
President Wilson, Both Houses
of Congress Declare for War

Tn April z PRESIDENT wilson ue-
livered his great wal message to
Congress, which had been assembled
in extraordinary session. Pursuant
to this message resolutions declaring
for war we're introduced in both
Houses of Congress. On April a the
Senate after several hours debate.
by a vote of SO to 6, adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
The War Resolution
Whereas, the imperial German
government has committed repeated
acts of war against the Government
and the people of the United States
of America; therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con-
gress assembled, that the state of
war between the United States and
the imperial German government
which has thus been thrust upon the
United States is hereby formally de-
r d; and that the President
be and he is hereby authorized
and directed to employ the entire
naval and military forces of the
United States apd the resources of
the Government to carry on wal
against the imperial German govern
ment; and to bring the conflict to a
successful termination. all of the re-
ources of the country are hereby
pledged by the Congress of the
United States"
The same resolution had been in
PRODUCED in the House of Represen-
tatives, and after a stormy debate,
which lasted throughout April 4 and
until 3 a. m. of the 5th, the vote was
taken, which resulted in the passage
of the resolution-373 to so.
When the vote was taken in the
Senate, Pittman voted for the reso-
luton. Newlands was placed on the
list of absent or paired" When
the vote was taken in the House on
Thursday morning E. E. Roberts
voted against the resolution.
Immediately after the declaration
of wal steps were taken for the mob
ilization of the resources Of the
country and for enlisting of an army
of 1000, 900 men,. 1t is expected to
vote a huge war loan of 5 1000, 000.-
600, a large part of which, together
with our other resources, will be used
in the aid of our allies.
The declaration of this war was
not accompanied by the wild enthu-
siasm of frenzy that marked the dec
laration of some of our previous wars,
but the people r enthusiastic and
confident of the outcome of the STEP
which they have taken after long de-
liberation and have entered the war
with a grim determination to bend
every energy to a successful COM
pletion.
