Chinatown this morning. tho opening
of the New Year celebration for the
Chinese. Residents Of the Chinese sec
ton were astir early in the morning.
having arranged their festive tables
late last night and started burning
punk and incense to pay homage to
Joss
In tho Joss house, the upper floor of
314 Pennsylvania avenue, Chinese had
made every effort to have the place
appear in its best garb, while Chinese
Freemasons assembled in their temple
and participated in feasts Of Chinese
candies, nuts and fruits, with an oc-
casional sip of wine or tea.
Show Pictures Of "Great Man."
Tables were spread in practically
every business house and Chinese
laundry throughout the city, immense
pictures of Confucius, or, as the
Chinese put 1t. great man." formed
the background, while draped in front
were bright-colored tapestries con-
tanning Chinese emblems. and the
Chinese were anxious to point to Amer
lean flags in the pictures.
In front of the large pictures the
Chinese had incense pots from which
smoke curled about the outlay of what
they termed Chinese good things"
and nearby were vessels containing
straight and spiral punk which emitted
small quantities of smoke and an odor
that delighted the hosts and visitors.
Wear Western Clothes.
Almost everything that was served as
part of the celebration came from. China,
especially candles. and on each table was
an immense grapefruit from China
Laundries on the outskirts were deserted
this morning, most Of the laundrymen
visiting their friends in Chinatown. Later
visits will be exchanged. Years ago most
of the celestials at.ired themselves in
Chinese clothes, but today they seemed
delighted to appear in their American
garments, and when a photograph was
taken at the Hong High Company's es-
tablishment, 352 Pennsylvania avenue,
none of them would appear in celestial
attire.
This afternoon the Chinese children are
making calls with their fathers. Mothers
are taking no part in the celebration, and
even at homes. it is stated, they keep
in the background.

Fallon Wants Service

The question of additional pas
scuger and mail train service be-
tween Fallon and Reno is being agi-
tated in Fallon and it has been
determined to bring the matter be-
fore the railroad officials and urge
immediate relief. Those who have
given thought to the problem claim
that there are many reasons for
favorable action by the Southern
Pacific company, chief among them
being the growing Importance of
Fallon as a shipping point.

1000 QUOTA
PASSED IN
DRIVE
RED CROSS CHAPTER HAS GAIN
ED 800 NEW MEM
BERS

Eighty new members reported by
the Goldfield chapter of the Red
Cross, including AZ reported by the
Fish Lake auxiliary, raised the total
membership of the chapter to 1O45
before midnight Monday, or 40
above the quota assigned for the
Christmas drive, according to Mrs.
l.. l.. Patrick, who had charge of the
campaign.
The passing of the 1000 mark has
been exceedingly gratifying to the
chapter officers and particularly to
the women who, during the entire
period of the campaign, devote
their time and efforts to making it
the success hat it has proved to be.
The drive started with the chap
ter membership at 653, making 392
members added in bringing the total
to 1O45, a showing that was en-
tirely satisfactory to all concerned
and that amply rewarded the cam
paign workers for their efforts.
1t is believed that concrete results
of the success will be shown in the
near future in increased production
by the chapter and in increased in
terest being taken in many ways.
National managers of the Red
Cross have decided to permit local
chapters to continue the drive until
New Years day, but the Goldfield
workers, although headquarters will
be open for the taking of member
ships until New Years, will now
turn their efforts to the sale OF
tickets for the benefit dance to be
held New Years eve and to ar
ranging for the ~pretentious affair
that will result in a big sum being
realized for the continuation of the
war work.

TTALY,s JOAN OF ARC.


1t was dusk in the Carnic Alps.
The deep green hues Of the noun
tain forests werS blending in the
cleaning, and a res,lul gloom was
settling down in the mountains. In
sects hummed ano oroned among
the blue grass Of the pastures. Devi-
Gus pathways cut an uncertain
course through the voluptuous color
of the vegetation.
Along one of these overgrown
guiding ways a regiment of the
Italian Bersaglieri was making a
tortuous ascent. The crests Of the
plumes in their helmets were rust
led by mellow breaths from the Ad-
riatic, and the gravel was crunch
| ing under rough-shod soldier feet.
otherwise 10 sound came from this
redoubtable column. For these men
were moving forward 10 attack an
/ enemy position which their air
forces had failed TO locate all
through a humid day Of death
The Austrian battery had swept
with whitening waves of steel, the
backs Of these hoary Italian noun
| tain crests. Thirteen thousand of
/ Italias first line troops had vain
| ly endeavored 10 pass the enemy
| emplacements. The blood of Italy's
sons dried on every leaf and gravel
path, and her wounded lay where
the Red Cross could never reach
at the feet of these eternal piles,
mangled masses of human flesh.
The Bersaglieri, Italy's strange,
swift-loping infantry. was going in
TO the action; expert, accurate
marksmen, every man.
The advanced patrols and several
on the TANKS had engaged enemy
patrols several times and had only
succeeded in adding TO the perplexi-
| ties of the situation.
! Suddenly there was a challenge,
an oath IN Italian, and presently a
| corporal was seen making his way
TO the main body. With him was a
woman-a young girl, self possessed
and smiling. She inquiries her way
