Expressing a profound conviction
that the program of the entente
powers never could be carried into
effect, DR.. Zimmerman intimated that
failure of the entente's offensive
this year. which he expected, might
again make it possible to approach
the subject of peace on reasonable
terms and with some prospect of
success.
"The entente powers gave out for
themselves a big program" said Dr.
Zimmerman, commenting on the note
to President Wilson. What more is
there for Germany to say regarding
it?"
Now that the allies have to a
certain extent outlined their plans"
said the correspondent, do you think
there is any possibility of Germany
declaring in some form or other its

COOLEST WEATHER R
IN LOCAL HISTORY
IS RECORDED TO-DAY
SEVEN BELOW THIS MORNING,
WITH ELEVEN BELOW AT
WATER CO.'S OFFICE

The weather man is staying close
by his Office on the summit of the
hill, where he maintains close yigils
beside a hot stove that renders him
unconscious of his villainous treat
ment of Tonopah. However, Mr..
Legler, the observer, is a philosopher
who contents himself with saying
that he is doing better than nine
tenths Of the government observers,
who report much worse conditions
than those found in the vicinity of
Tonopah.
The eoldest weather experienced in
the history of the camp came this
morning at o'clock when seven
below was registered. At the same
time the thermometer at the Butler
theater read 10 below and another
standard thermometer two blocks
away, at the water office, and very
little higher but in more exposed
position, gave IL below The highest
reading yesterday was above and
the highest today was 4 above, thus
making the cold spell record break
er all round. No hope for mitiga-
tion of the evil is found in the fore
cast sent out by the official fore
caster in San Francisco, who contents
himself with saying the weather will
continue cold and fair.
The protracted cold is beginning to
entail serious consequences, Man
ager Burnham of the water company
stated this morning that about 100
service pipes were frozen and that
nothing could be done until the cold
spell goes by, when electricity will
be impressed into service and house
hold service restored.

DIPLOMATS ORDERED
TO QUIT BUCHAREST

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.--Inquiry
was addressed to Germany yesterday
by the state department as to the
truth of press reports that German
authorities had asked all neutral
diplomats to leave Bucharest, Ru-
mania, and had provided for that
purpose special train. Official in
formation is desired so American
Minister Vopicka can be authorized
to depart if necessary. No instrue-
tions have been sent him since he
was ordered at the time Of the fall
of Bucharest to stay in Rumania.
Officials are at loss to under
stand why the German government
should wish to send the whole neutral
diplomatic corps out of the captured
Rumanian capital. though It is ad-
mitted that she has the legal right
to do so.

Members of the committee said
there were "inklings that she had

Lawson declared on cross-examinar
tion that his impression that Henry

from another source.
In the hearing yesterday the great
sensation came with the seventh

gress had given him three names OF
persons reported to have been in

Chairman Henry" The next ques-
tion and the two following were vir-
tually the same.
Lawson then was asked If be had
any other information in relation to
his intimations that another high
official" of the government had In

that relative of cabinet official

at the general Grand Central station
and at ICE Broadway, were the men
to whom he referred. Speaking with
emphasis, he added that the public
man who knew of the leak machinery
was Paul Warburg, Of the federal

LINE MAY
GO TO OLD TYBO
LOUISIANA COMPANY PREPARING
TO BEGIN ON A LARGE
SCALE

Negotiations have been started by
the Louisiana Consolidated Mining
company for the construction of a
power line to the old camp of Tybo.
The line will be installed by the
Nevada California Power company by
building from Belmont. This will en-
tail an outlay of $4,000, as the dis
tance is about 30 miles. Should the
Louisiana decide to close the contract
the work would be completed inside
a month. The revival of the Tybo
district depends largely on the intro
ductlon of cheap power. so that a
large mill may be erected and the
ore reduced on the spot by coneen-
tration. The success of this plan
would add materially to the mineral
output of Nye county.

AN INTERESTING LETTER
FROM JEFFERSON BARRACKS

The following letter from Gil
lin MacNeill to his mother, writ
ten Sunday, will be Of interest
to our readers:
Jefferson Barracks,
St. Louis, Mo-, April p. 1917
Dear Mother:
| received your letter and was
very glad to hear from home. As
this is Sunday and we have moth
ing much to do | am going to tell
you all about the barracks.
We got our uniforms yester-
day and are now living in tents;
before we slept it a large hall.
Each Of US received two uni
forms. two shirts, two pair shoes,
six pair socks, four pair light un-
derwear, a hat and a blanket.
When we leave we get a toilet
outfit.
The "grub" is O. K. so far, for
dinner today we had roast pork,
bean soup, dressing, sweet pota-
toes, gravy, coffee, bread and
butter and fresh onions, all we
could eat of each. | never ate so
much in my life. Have gained
about seven pounds since | have
been here. The mess hall feeds
about 1900 at once and they fill it
up about four times to a meal.
The Barracks contain about 1900
acres overlooking the Mississippi
river about 13 miles from St.
Louis. Guards are walking
around it all the time and will
shoot anyone who tries to get
away, there was a man shot the
night before we came.
They say we will not be here
over five or six days as the new
ones are forcing them to turn
| out men at the rate of 500 to 600
a day.
Eevry thing is green and all
the trees are leaved out here, to-
day is about as hot as in July in
South Dakota. Hope it doesn't t
get any hotter. Harvey will be
there when this reaches you, too
bad he did not pass. | am glad
it wasn't me.
Every one here seems to be a
good fellow, not many toughs.
do not know for sure where we
are going when we leave here,
heard we were going to Virginia
but hope that is not so. A large
company of coast artillary went
