How That Little Country Suffers Tn
der German Domination.

Amsterdam. Aug. pa recent
semi official statement published in
Germany describing Luxemburg as a
German town has attracted atten-
ton again to the bitter lot. Of the
people Of LuXemburg, whose Princess
vainly APPEALED to the Germans to
spare her little country in the early
days of the German incursion into
Belgium.
For four years now, the citizens OF
Luxembourg have lived isolated under
the yoke of German military domi-
nation. Three. thousand Luxembourg
ers have escaped into France and
Joined the French army.
1t is true that LuXemburg has not
faced. as Belgium and Serbia have,
the devastation brought. in defensive
fighting on her own soil, but war has
come by air, and just as it has been
unnecessary for the Entente airmen
to bomb German billets in Belgian
and French towns, so they have fire.
quently had occasion to bomb Lux
emburg, and with deadly effect.
German propagand;sts in Luxem-
burg, as in Belgium, have constantly
attempted to rouse hostility to the
Entente by exploiting these air raids,
but their efforts have proved unsuc-
cessful, and the people of Luxembourg
persist, despite all propaganda, in re-
garding the German invader as the
real culprit, recognizing clearly that
is raided only because
the German army is there.
The LuNemburg Parliament and
government have lodged protests at
Berlin against the action of the Ger
man army in placing anti-aircraft
guns around the city of Luxembourg.

DRAFT LAW PASSED.
ONLY Two NEGATIVE VOTES
CAST ON FINAL PASSAGE.
Congressional Leaders Believe That
Measure May be Ready for sigma
ture Of President Late This Week
Only Minor Change Made.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The new
man power bill extending the selec-
tive Graft to,all men between the
ages OF Is and As years was passed
by the house tonight with only MI
nor changes in the original draft OF
the war department.
On the first roll call only two neg
ative votes We're cast-by Representa-
tive London OF New York, the Social
ist, and Representative Gordon OF
Ohio, Democrat. The final vote was
announced as 336 to 2.
The final vote was preceded by
three days debate during whica the
chief contention was an amendment
to defer; the calling of youths from 10
to 20 years until older men had been
summoned. A final effort was made
by Chairman Dent today to place Is
year old boys in deferred class, but
motion to recommit the bill to the
military affairs committee with IN
structions to incorporate that amend
ment was lost 191 to 146.
The bill now goes to the senate
where leaders tonight predicted its
passage early next week under a plan
to substitute the house bill for the
measure favorably reported by the
military committee Of that body and
thus expedite its final enactment. Con-
gressional leaders hope to send the
to the president by the latter
part OF, next week.
.Th senate soon after convening
unexpectedly abandoned plans for a
vote today and adjourned until Mon
DAY.
An attempt in the house to insert
work or fight amendment by which
those exempted from service on occu-.
pational grounds would be required to
at their civil tasks. failed, 81
to 81. The amendment was directed
against strikes and was characterized
by officials of the American Federation
Of Labor as conscription Of labor.
The house today reversed its ac-
ton of yesterday in voting 70 include
members of congress in the draft BY
a rising vote of SO to 143, it defeated
an amendment by Representative
Gregg of Texas which would make
members of congress- State legislators
and federal and State executive Off
cials liable to draft.
An amendment by Representative
Smith of New York, to exempt police
officers in cities of more than 100000
and designed to relieve the
situation in New York where short
age of police officers is said to be
was defeated.
An amendment by Representative
Treadway Of Massachusetts which
was adopted provides for the appoint
ment Of special examiners in local con-
scription districts for the exaanina-
ton of men placed in deferred clas-
siication as means Of further COMB
ing the deferred classes for addition
al men for active service.
Chairman Dent Of the house mil
;tary committee read a letter today
from Secretary Baker, in which the
latter set forth his objections to the
Mckenzie amendment. which was de-
feated, which provided for delaying
the call of youths from Is to 20. Mr..
Baker said he believd the amend
ment would seriously impair, the anil
ity of the war department to get the
men in accordance with the military
program.

SAD OCCASION WERE
 BUEHLER FUNERALS
(From Sundays Daily)

Seldom in the history of this city has such a sad occasion been ob- served as that of yesterday, when the double funeral of MT. and Mrs. R. NJ. Buehler occurred, both being victims of influenza, and their deaths taking place within three days of each other last week. They were laid away in the Masonic cemetery side by side in two graves, under the rites of Christian Science. An affecting scene was caused by the presence of their daughter, Louise, aged 10 years, and the son, Paul, aged IA years, as both bid farewell to mother and faith CT. These two children left Pres colt during the afternoon for River side, Cal, where they will be cared for by Mrs. George Brunton, sister of Mrs. Buehler. Their parting with the loved ones and many friends in this city was extremely pathetic.

NEW BOOZE LAW

The drastic booze ordinance, re- gently enacted by the city council, IS to become effective on Thursday, De cembcr 5th, according to a statement made yesterday by Chief of Police Bloom. The law, which is designed to put something of crimp in the activities of the bootlcgging frater- nifty hereabouts, permits the police officials to search any place of busi- ness, dwelling house or any building where they suspect that supply of liquor is cached. without going through the formality of securing a search warrant frou the proper authorities, and while the police have somewhat elastic powers as respects their rights to enter and "frisk" d suspected establishment, the council was of the opinion that an iron-clad measure of this sort was necessary to al least partially cut down the im- mense amount of illicit liquor selling which is taking place in and around the city.

METAL INDUSTRY FACING NEW
 FEATURE
VISITING OPERATOR OF PROMINENCE BELIEVES SILVER-GOLD PROPER TIES WILL COMMAND PREFERENCE.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Everett Reynolds, who has min ing interests in the Harcuvars, also in the Short Horn range, of Yuma county, will become interested in a silver property in the Tiptop district, so stating yesterday He is investi- gating the title which brings him to this city. Mir Reynolds was one of the original owners of an outlying claim which has since been merged with the Consolidated of Goldfield, Nevada, as well was he identified with the Tom Reed of Mohave coun- ty during its early organization. Of the metallic situation he says:
 ''To my way of reasoning, the com- bination of gold with silver will be the preferred investment for the fut- ure, and I am anticipating some quite lively dOings after the war recon struction sets in. Silver will lead, and gold will be desirable of course. Coppers are flooding the market and their boom is ceasing on account of over-production, which took place to meet the anticipated manufacturing demands from abroad The German situation IS now chaotic, and there will be a light market in Teuton countries for long time to come Domestic needs already are cared for and over-production will of necessity result in a curtailment of develop mcnt as well will wage decreases.
 There must be something to off set the high speed of red metal min ing, and a solid basis must in conse- quence be established. There has been too much of the wild speculation Of theorists, who have had their day, but it has been a good one. I have found much interest shown recently toward silver first, and gold second, from an investment viewpoint, which is based on the limited capital requir- ed as compared to copper operations. Quick returns for the money holds good now, and the investing public Is educated fully to the different phases of mining, which reflects this attitude convincingly. Although as a whole, mining never had such a splendid outlook, and the wave of war manufacturing subsidies to be picked up in another line of American in dustry."
 Mir. Reynolds was in this field sev- cral years ago, when his uncle, C. A. Gribble, was superintendent of the old Vulture. Mir Gribble was later waylaid and murdered while convey ing gold bullion to Phoenix Mir. Reynolds returns in a short time to San Francisco, his mining headquar- tcrs.
