/ PRAISE FOR YANKEES
German Officer Says Their Reok.
Iessness Spoiled Foe Morale.
Asserts That Allies Won War Through
Intervention of Americans Who
Overwhelmed Enemy.

Coblenz, Dec. 1.-THE Americans
lacked experience in the techn1cali-
ties of modern warfare, but they
knew how to go ahead-they knew
too well.'' ~.
That is the opinion Of Colonel Won
Steibel, chief of staff of the 9th Divi-
sion, which was beaten by the Ameri-
cans in the Argonne = -
Won Steibel, who is attached to the
German bridgehead commission, dis
cussed freely the phases of the Ar
g0nne break through. :
"Americans Too Reckless" =. IL
"The Americans were too reckless;
In too much of a. hurry to get things
DONE" he said. For instance in at.
tacking our machine; guns which are
the best in the world-they utilized
no scientific means. It seemed to us
the only way they knew to eliminate
a machine gun nest was to keep com.
ing until they got it. That was rather
discouraging to the morale Of our gun
ners.@ They knew if they stayed long
they would be killed or captured.
Says American Intervention Won.
1--WE have no doubt American in
tervention won the war. We could
have beaten the other Allies, but the
constant stream Of Americans, young
and enthusiastic, overwhelmed us =.
THE Americans are good @oppon
ents and fair fghters."
Won Steibel declared the German
army could have held out for months
if internal conditions had not inter
t fered, but, sooner or later, lack Of ma
terial would have brought it's down

BATHES-FOOT SLIPS

TEX" Hall is nursing a couple
of broken ribs, the result of slipping
and falling against the side of the
bath tub. Tuesday evening, while
exemplifying the old adage that
cleanliness is next to godliness. The
hath tub is a slippery place in which
to practice any kind of gymnastic
exercises, and while such accidents
are not of common occurrence, they
are none the less liable to occur
with embarrassing and painful re-
suits. The News is unable to state
as to whether or not any of the
correspondence schools give courses
in bath tub c~alisthenics but suggest
to Tex that as a means of safety
first, he provide himself with a
pair Of bath slippers equipped with
sand-paper soles, or else put glue
on his feet when next he performs

ALLEGED PRO-HUN
JAILED FOR TALK
SAID TO HAVE CONGRATULATED
WOMAN FOR NOT RAILS
ING FLAG

William Ditmyre, a miner, was
arrested Saturday night by Night
Officer Benton and a complaint was
filed against him this afternoon by
the officer, charging him with dis
turbing the peace.
Ditmyre is alleged to have told
Mrs. A. j. Twillegar, wife of the
proprietor of the Lyric theater, that
the kaiser was due to rule the world
and that it would be to the advan-
tage of the people of the United
States were the chief of all the
Huns to accomplish this.
In a 10-minute conversation with
Mrs. Twillegar Saturday night at
the Lyric theater Ditmyre is alleg-
ed to have supported the kaiser to
the limit of his ability. Mrs. Twill
legar, after what is said to have
been an unusually eloquent denun-
cation of Ditmyre, had him arrest
ed.
This morning Mrs. Twillegar re-
lated the circumstances that led to
her conversation with Ditmyre and
his arrest.
She said that she speaks four
languages, one of them German,
and that this had led Ditmyre, a
long time ago, to conclude that she
was German.
When the United States declared
var against Germany, Mrs. Twille-
gar said that for several days she
was unable to find an American
flag that she had stored away and
that Ditmyre, seeing no flag fly
ing over her home, considered this
a confirmation of his belief that she
was a German and opposed to the
entry of the United States into the
var and went to her and congra-
tnlated her and her husband for
not raising the flag.
Through this and other converse
tions she had with Dytmyre, Mrs.
Twillegar said she spotted him as
a bad pro-German and that after his
outburst Of Saturday night she
could stand his talk no longer and
decided to have him arrested. She
said two women, unknown to her,

BOARD SELECTS
THREE FOR ARMY
WILL LEAVE APRIL 2 FOR
AMERICAN LAKE CAN
TORMENT

The exemption board has decided
that Bat V~alnassoe, William George
Joyner and Bert Ellice Carley will
be the three drafted men sent to
Camp Lewis on April 9, unless some
thing unforeseen causes a change in
plans. Joyner and Carley are
veteran drafted men. as they were
both rejected at Camp Lewis when
they went there in the first draft.
Valnassoe and Joyner are in Gold
field and Carley is in San Francisco
It the present time.
Although Joyner and Carley were
rejected on their first trip to Camp
LAWS, the rejection was only due
to the first draft rules, which de-
handed almost physical perfection.
and the exemption board is conf
dent they will be accepted under
the new regulations.
Joyner passed a first-class ply
steal examination for the first draft
and on his return from Camp Lewis
stated that poor results obtained
from vaccination was the only rea-
sons for his rejection.

Man Registers Twice

When George Dallas of White
Pine county registered twice in that
county for the draft he started
trouble for the county exemption
board. He said a friend advised him
that 1t would be necessary for hirl
to register at two places in the coun-
ty. He was given two serial num-
bers and two order numbers and in
due course of time received two
questionnaires. He filled out and
returned one of them, but paid no
attention to the other, with the re-
suit that he found the George Dali
as who failed to return a question
naire posted as a Stacker. He OBJ
jected to this and the matter is now
being Strengthened out by the adult
ant general.

DIVIDE DISTRICT
MAY HAVE BOOM
BUILDINGS NOW BEING
HAULED

The Tonopah Divide district be-
gins to u the appearance of a
boom mining camp. The only ex-
ception to the description is that
nobody with a townsite project has
appeared selling lots. However,
there is a likely movement of tim
Der, and lumber in that direction
as three companies are engaged in
getting ready for a brisk campaign.
Yesterday Wittenberg teams and
motor trucks were busy hauling
lumber including a huge gallows
frame and 1t is merely a question
of time when at least one board
inghouse must be erected for the
accommodation of the men who are
now going to the mine by means OF
jftney service. 1t is not likely that
. town will spring into being as the
distance is only six miles and jit-
neys are making a rate that is con
sidered reasonable.
Julius Goldsmith and Ed. Guilt
a have given an option on their
holdings to a San Francisco syndi-
cate that calls for prompt action
az others are anxious to get hold OF
ground in that vicinity and no long
time options are entertained.
Gavin Johnson has sold his frame
residence that was erected on his
group of claims three miles from
Tonopah to parties beginning work
at the Divide and the building will
be moved out in sections and es-
tablished as headquarters of n OF
the new companies.-Gazette.

there is an abundance of ore block

1T is only by extending your or

that every citizen of the state can
be reached and touched with the

The school house has been suggest

of such an organization, namely,
the spreading of the realization OF

TREATING ZINC AT
MUMCY CREEK MINE
COMPANY Is PLANNING EREC-
TION OF NEW CALCINING
PLANT

A group of Wyoming oil men.
original locators in the famous Elk
basin district, left Salt Lake last
right for Muncy Greek, Nevada, to
inspect the Muncy Creek mine. in
which they recently acquired sub
stantial holdings, says the Sale Lake
Tribune. Included in the party we're
L. J.. Willis, c. c. Worland, Joseph
Cook and l.. E. Laird, all of Wor-
land. In addition to the holdings
acquired several weeks ago, 1t is
understood that the oil men have
recently taken an option on a large
block of Muncy Creek stock and the
trip is being made to determine whe-
Their or not they shall exercise the
option.
President c.. D.. Ray and Vice.
President Joseph Crosby have been
at the property about two weeks,
assisting in the installation of a
zinc calcining plant and in making
other improvements, which, 1t is
believed, will make the property
one of the big producers of the
eastern part of Nevada.
George Crosby, a director of the
company, returned from the mine
yesterday and announced that the
zinc calcining plant, with a capacity
of 100 IONS a day, had been COM
rleted. The zinc ore, he says, car
ries values of approximately 33 per
cent, and by roasting the value is
increased to approximately 40 per
cent.
Mr.. Crosby also reported that
about five carloads of high-grade
copper was broken in the mine and
ready for movement as soon as the
new hoist is received. The old hoist
was broken several days ago and a
new hoist of greater power was i'm
mediately ordered by wire. The
two trucks and trailers purchased
by the company last week have ar
rived at the mine and as soon as the
ore can be brought to the surface
shipments are to be resumed.
News of a new discovery in the
nature of high-grade copper also
was brought in by Mr.. Crosby. The
new ore can hardly be classed as a
recent strike, for the reason that
what was believed to be the hang
ing wall of the vein proved to be
high-grade copper. A cross-cut has
been started and is now in forty
feet and the hanging wall has not
yet been reached. According to
surface indications, it Is believed
that the vein is fully 200 feet wide,
and as far as developed 1t Is all ore
and largely of a shipping grade,
Mr.. Crosby reports.
