CANNOT CONFISCATE MONEY
OF DEPOSIT0RS IN BANKS

For the information of the public
the First National Bank of Winnie
mucca calls attention to the following
statement issued by the Secretary of
the Treasury under date of November
16, in regard to rumors which, it is
understood. have been In circulation,
to the effect that the government pro-
poses to confiscate money on deposit
in banks
Among the many absurd and
vicious rumors which are being put
into circulation these days. probably
through pro-German influence, is one
that the government proposes to
confiscate money on deposit in banks.
The absurdity of the statement is
obvious on its face, but | have re-
ceived letters from several parts or
the country which indicate that this
rumor is being circulated for an evil
purpose. OF course. these rumors are
wholly without foundation. In fact,
the government has no power TO con-
fiseate money of depositors in panks.

ELK0 COUNTY SHALE SEEMS
INDICATIVE OF OIL SOURCE

Mr.. and Mrs. j. L. Workman re-
turned Monday evening from northern
Elko county. where the former has
been doing surface work on his oil
shale locations. Mr. Workman statss
that he has opened number of places
on his property where there are oil
indications, and he believes that a flow
of oil could be encountered there in a
comparatively shallow well. He is
showing samples of the shale that are
wet with light-colored oil and will
burn when touched with lighted
match. Besides the shale he has n
sand rock that is also impregnated
with oil. Other samples contain fakes
of paraffin wax. From these indica-
tions it looks as If northern Nevada
will soon be among the oil-producing
sections.

MUNITIONS SHIP IS
BLOWN PTHISA.M.

A Western Union telegram of this
morning conveyed the information
that an American munitions ship leav-
ing Halifax harbor this morning was
rammed by another ship and sank. A
terrible explosion took place the
shock Of which was felt for thirty
miles around. Buildings were de-
destroyed, telegraph and telephone
lines wrecked, and every member of
the ships crew was either killed by
the explosion or drowned.
Halifax, capital of Nova Scotia. is
an important military post and is de-
Tended by strong forts and batteries.
one Of which, the Citadel, stands on
the summit of the hill on which the
town is built, and is said to be, next
to Quebec, the strongest fortification
in America; and this is now. with
Quebec, the only place in which mill
tary troops are retained. Halifax
harbor is the finest in the world and
has two entrances separated by Nc
Nab's island. OF which the western
only is navigable for vessels of large
tonnage. Halifax has been used to
a great extent as place of embarca :
ton for troops of the United States
during the present war.

PRESIDENT URGES
CONGRESS TO ACT

President Wilson address a Joint
session of the two houses of Congress
Tuesday and recommended the imme-
diate declaration of war against Aus
tria. This, he told Congress, was
necessary to meet the anomalous Sit
uation which the United States faces
in its war with Germany, even though
Austria was not her own mistress, but
merely a vassal of Germany. The
same logic, he said, would lead to war
against Turkey and Bulgaria, but they
do not yet stand in the path of the
United States in its war against Prus-
sian autocracy.
In ringing and definite terms the
President declared that nothing shall
turn the United States until it has
won the war and Germany is beaten.
All talk of peace he pronounced as out
of the question. Peace, he said, would
come only when German people make
1t through rulers that the world can
trust, when they make reparation for
the destruction their present rulers
have caused, and when Germany re-
cedes from all territory that has been
acquired by armed conquest
The President declared an immedi-
ate declaration of war against Aus
tria was necessary because the CEN
trail powers must be considered as one
and because the war can be conducted
successfully in no other way. Giving
warning that he would not hesitate to
declare war on Bulgaria and Turkey,
the President said:
'We shall go wherever the necessi-
ties of this war carry us, but it seems
to me that we should go only where
the immediate and practical consider
ations lead us. Peace can come only
when Prussian militaryism and autoc-
racy is beaten down; when the en-
shaved people of Belgium and northern
France and the Balkan states have
been set free. Germany's declaration
that she is fighting war of self-ed-
fense against deliberate aggression is
falsei" declared the President. Then
he reiterated that no one was threat
ening the existence, independence of
peaceful enterprise of Germany.
II hear of those who speak of peace
without the overthrow of the German
military autocracy. l hear men de-
bate peace who understand neither it's
nature nor the way in which we can
attain it, with uplifted eyes and an
unbroken spirit, but I know that none
g. L
do not touch the heart of anything.
They may safely be left to strut their
uneasy hour and then be forgotten"
