URGES BRITAIN TO STATE AIMS

London, Dec 2s-An emphatic in- dorsement of President Wilson's ex- precision of war aims and an urgent plea that Britain make entirely clear to the world that she is not fighting a war of conquest was the message de- livered to Britain,s Trade and Labor Union Congress yesterday by the Laborite leader, Arthur Henderson
 The session was specifically called to discuss war aims and Henderson moved the adoption of. President Wil- son's outline in full.
 The war; he declared, "becomes government. Secret diplomacy and compulsory. military service should be rendered unnecessary.
 The Allies must renounce their in- tention of creating an irnpenetrable barrier against the German people. Germany's autocracy must give place to democracy Militarisrn must be universally discredited.
 The American people are fighting for a league of nations more than anything else," he said, land yet this moment has been selected by Sir Ed ward Carson to treat that proposal with scorn and contempt"
 Henderson outlined Carson's recent speech at Portsmouth, in which he declared that mot speaking lightly, we knew Austria and Turkey did not 1 want to continue"
 Aren't we justified" Henderson continued, Gin concluding that Austria fI, provided the government is prepared to deal with them as Germany is dealing with Russia Why wasn't a similar course pursued, especially l with regard to Turkey, by us? Did we prefer to take Jerusalem forci- I bly,? Is it surprising that neutrals i Russia, even America, can suspect us of annexationist designs?
 | Labor must demand a clariflcatior of Britafn's position if the workers are called on for further sacrifices.
 "This does not mean the white feather. Labor does not desire tha- i Germany be admitted to a league o. nations while intoxicated by her mill tary triumphs, but the Allies shoult make it clear that the struggle vii continue only for principles ana ideals, and not for conquest.
 Labor asks an opportunity to as certain how Germany is prepared t, accept the Laborite peace proposals
 Paris, Dec. go - An internationa labor conference to discuss war prob leins and band workers of the work together was urged yesterday by tn, conference of the French Nationa | Y..sa | The meeting affirmed the peace for
 mulae of both President Wilson an, the Russian Socialists as to no an nexations, freedom of the seas ant no economic war after the war, an,
 urgently asked the French govern
 ment publicly to define peace terms l No mention was made by the con l ference of Alsace-Lorraine.

then asked for the captain, the mas ter of my ship, to go on board. He was taken down inside the submarine. The rest of us were ordered on board and lined up on her deck. The Ger man sailors, to whom an officer gave orders in German, then ordered us in English to take off our lifebelts and oyercoats and lay them on the deck. Then the sailors came along search ing us, and deliberately kicked the majority of the lifebelts overheard. We had to hold up our, hands in the surrender position while being search ed~ Everything of value was taken from us. In my case they took my seaman's discharge book, containing four fl Treasury Notes and my certi- ficate of competency. They threw my book and ticket overheard and kept the money.
 After this the German sailors got into our lifeboats and threw the oars and the gratings in the bottom of the boat and the bailers overheard. They took the provisions and compasses out and put them into the subl--arine. and then damaged the lifeboats, rendering them useless by breaking the sides of the boats with some instruments
 which took to be the axes carried by the Iifeboats as part of their equip
 ment. They then cast the boats adrift.
 The small boat was left intact, and five Germans got into her and went towards the ship. When they reached the Belgian Prince they signalled with | a flash lamp to the submarine. The riv, oh q sof fxuc and half miles, then stopped, and after moment or two heard rush l ing sound, like water rushing into the sinking tanks of the submarine, and shouted Look out-she is sinkfng!'

Wood Alcohol from Ssgebrush
In the San Francisco Bulletin Of

which. if it materializes. means much
for the future of Nevada:
Benjamin @. P. Foss of Philadel-
phia and Yuba County, this State,
has arranged to build a SIS. 900 plant
near Carson City. New. so that he
can procure wood alcohol from Ne
vada sagebrush for use in his newly
invented 580-ton armored gyroscope
~hydroaero triplane he is to build this
Summer on a 200-acre factory site on
the Snyder ranch. four miles from
Los Altos, in Santa Clara County.
81 will obtain wood alcohol at a
very cheap price by selling the many
by-products the reduced sagebrush
will YIELD" remarked the inventor
and mining chemist at the Suffer,
just as he was about to leave on the
Overland Limited train for New
York with the Portland Ore, min
ing expert and capitalist, c. F. A.
Peck.
ASK any of the University of Cali
fornia scientists and they will tell
you sagebrush yields a remarkable
variety of commercial articles, such
as wood alcohol, tar. creosote. dis
tillate and acetic and fannie acids.
1t is a king in the vegetable realm in
that respect, for God never planted
millions of tons of it in Nevada aim
lessly or for no use on earth.
my immediate object in building
the Carson City plant is to secure for
my own use a cheaper and lighter
article than gasoline. for | know 25.-
900 gallons of wood alcohol will serve
my airship better than 10000 gallons
of gasoline, giving it in the first place
an effective sailing radium of IS. 900
miles. The plant will reduce 60 tons
of sagebrush a day.

Seed potatoes are unusually high
in Elko County this year, The coun-
try will experience a potato famine
next Fall if the farmers and mer-
chants holding their potatoes do not
come down in their prices. The
small as well as the large farmer
must have seed potatoes to plant, but
very few of them can afford to pay
the exorbitant prices now asked.
There is more of a corner than a
scarcity of the commodity. A sack
of potatoes was sold in Wells one
day last week for $7.20. That ought
to be the limit.-Wells Herald.

Did it ever occur to you that a
mans life is full of crosses and tempt
atoms? He comes into the world
without his consent and goes out
against his will, and the trip between
is exceedingly rocky. The rule of
contraries is one of the features of
this trip.
When he's little. the big girls kiss
him, when he's big the little girls
kiss him. If he's poor. he's a bad
manager; if he's rich, he's dishonest.
If he needs credit, he can't get it; if
he's prosperous everyone wants to do
him a favor.
If he's in politics, it's for graft;
if he's out of politics, he's nc good
to his country. If he doesn't give
to charity, he's a stingy cuss; if he
does, its for show. If he's actively
religious, he's a ~hypocrite, and if he
takes no interest in religion, he's a
hardened sinner.
If he gives affection. he's a soft
specimen; if he cares for no one. he's
cold blooded. If he dies young,
there was a great future for him;
but if he lives to an old age, he
missed his calling.

CACTUS CAN FURNISH
PLENTY OF POTASH

The announcement that potash is
now being made in Queensland from
burnt cactus plants and the demand of
American farmers for relief from the
almost potashless condition of the last
few months, lead a writer in the Sci
entifc American to give the results
of his analysis of samples of prickly
pear plants in Mexico.
These, he says, contain 81 per cent
of water and 4.87 per cent of ash when
burned. The ash contains 9.8 per cent
of potassium oxide, equal to about 14.4
per cent potassium carbonate. "This
shows a yield of or per cent of potas-
SUM carbonate from the fresh green
plant, or nearly fifteen and .one-half
pounds per ton"
>, In, view of the, enormous quantities
1f; ptfcHy pear growing wild in our
southwestern states and throughout
Central America and northern South
America he suggests that it would
seem worth while to utilize this source
of potash at the present time.
