GUARD
CAPTURES
ALKAL|

At 1895 yesterday morning "a
members of the Home Guard left
Goldfield for a hike to Alkali
springs.
At 1880 the following message
was received from Captain Johnson
at Alkali springs:
After a fierce battle we sur
rounded and captured Alkali, to-
gether with all supplies, provis-
ions and ammunition. Three
hundred guns and two tanks
were taken. The enemy loss
was heavy. No one was killed
on our side and our only casu-
alties were two slightly wounded.
The ground is strewn with dead
soldiers.
The two casualties were walk
ing cases and reached Alkali. The
reference to dead soldiers" is not
clear, but is probably Home Guard
code for empty bottles.
Those who made the trip were
Captain Clyde Johnson, Sergeant
Rod Armstrong, Professor e. l.. Nc
Keown, Frank Mcnamara, Floyd
Johnson, Adams F. Brown, w. H.
Ably. Harry Kane, Roger Foley, C.

mond, e. l.. Scoones, Alexander Nc

Stevenson, j. H. Barron, Ellsworth

obs.
All the Guard finished in good
condition, and two, Ducey and
ScoOnes, were so strong that they
started to walk off their bet con
nected with their ability to walk to
Tonopah, but were finally dis
suaded.
Going strong at the finish were
Brown and Brown, father and son,
the father 81 years of age and the
son registered among the young
sters in the last draft, and now pre-
pairing to enter the army in the
footsteps of his brother Rolf, who
is nearing the trenches after a long
period of training in France.
The men only rested twice on the
march: Once for five minutes and
again a few minutes when John
Avanzini overlook the marchers
with a load of refreshments from
Goldfield.

DR.. W.T.L|GGETT
LEAVES G0lOf|ELD

DR.. w. II. Liggett, for II years a
prominent physician in Goldfield,
left this morning for his home in
Denver. He does not expect to re-
turn here and may accept one of a
number of positions offered him in
hospitals in several western states.
Since the war started, although
&C years of age, DR.. Liggett applied
numerous times for admission to
the army medical corps, even offer
ing to serve without pay in his
anxiety to aid his country. He was
known among local physicians as IA
man who kept strictly up to date in
his profession and during the per-
iod of his residence here he spent
,one year in New York and eight
months in San Francisco taking
postgraduate courses. He left here
for that purpose six years ago and
after his return ~practiced here
steadily. He came to Goldfield
from Cripple Creek.
En- route to Denver, DIR. Liggett
will spend several days in Reno.

contract had eliminated from it the
paragraph known as the 1O-days-
rotice-of-release clause, and also
had inserted therein the following:
1T is further understood and
agreed that the services of the par
ty of the second part shall not be
released, traded or transferred, with
out the consent of the party of the
second part"
1t is very doubtful, according to
the. baseball magnates, if a contract
containing similar clauses favoring
a player will receive the signature
of club owners for many years to
come. An agreement giving a
salary of $4,000 to an athlete for
approximately 80 months work,
with an annexation which makes it
impossible to dispense with his
services without the consent of the
payer, is going to be a rarity, we'll
worth framing in the future, if the
baseball club are to be be-
lieved.

hind these pill boxes we're other
machine gun emplacements.
Behind the first line we're belts
of wire arranged in a criss-cross
geometrical pattern, and then, after
an interval varying from several
hundred yards to half a mile, was
the second trench. With the object
of preventing tanks from crossing
it, the second trench was dug wide
enough to act as a trap when the
big crawlers came along.
To the rear of the second trench
line was another belt of wire and
after that the main or support line.
The part of the line examined by
the British officers had been dug by
Russian prisoners and had running
beneath it a continuous tunnel at a
depth of about 40 feet.
Along the main or support line
staircases led up from the tunnel
every so yards. The tunnel had
rooms opening out of it and was
lighted by electricity. Above were
a number of machine gun posts
and trench emplacements which
were connected by hoists so that
ammunition may be sent up quickly
from below.

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN FRANCE, Oct. 10. - Desperate
efforts we're made by the Germans
to strengthen the Hindenburg line
when they were driven back to it
by Marshal Foch's great offensive
this summer. More than nine miles
in depth at various points, it had
already been called the greatest
fortress the world has ever known"
Despite this, information has
reached the American intelligence
officers from various sources that
the Germans began to work upon
it with renewed vigor soon after the
Franco-American COMPREHENSIVE
of July IS, which drove them back
over the Marine, east of Chateau
Thierry and northwest across the
Nesle.
One section of the Hindenburg
line examined by British experts
had a belt of wire eight yards deep,
the wire being the size of a lead
pencil with barbs of an inch. About
100 yards to the rear was the first
German trench and behind the
trench 100 yards apart were ferro-
concrete positions built to hold
from two to five machine guns. Be-

are well-known actors, stage manag-

The actors gave a show the other

was a camouflage chariot race, cam

lions and tigers. One of the cam
outage tigers looked so real that it
nearly caused a panic when it got
down among the women.

Coming from Tonopah, where

Senator Henderson, the principal
speaker, appeared before a Gold
field audience for the first time and
he was warmly received.
He discussed the war situation at
length and said that, while the felt
peace was near, as Nevada's repre-
sentative he would insist on the "un-
conditional surrender" of the ma
ton that has been guilty of these
horrible atrocities. l know you

stand behind the president until we
have achieved the unconditional

Coming from Washington, the
senator had conversed with many
wounded soldiers returned from the
front and he related a number of
interesting conversations he had
with wounded men, in which they
described to him the in
which they had received their
wounds, and the senator told of
their c~heerfulness despite their
wounds and of the heroism on the
battlefield thai had won decorations
for many of them.
Senator Discusses War
In with the other speak
ers, Senator Henderson discussed
political issues but little and ad-
dressed himself chiefly to interna-
