WHAT ALL
CAN DO

our national leaders say that every
one of Us should be doing some spec
ial work on the war. This appeal is
not met simply by giving money or by
buying bonds. In the land of our foes
everyone is working on the war. No
form of activity is tolerated unless it
directly helps the war. How can we
expect to beat such people, unless we
likewise make winning tho war our
chief aim?
The average man feels he would
not be of much use in n munition fac.
tory or shipyard. He has family
to support and must plod along a
good deal in the old routine.
There is one thing that we can all
do here in Elko. Surgical dressings
are not being prepared as fast as
wanted. In France they say one hos.
pital uses a million dressings n week.
The quantities to be needed are be.
yond belief. There is no present dan.
ger of getting too much. 4 lot of the
men as well as the women should be
meeting evenings to work on those
dressings.
Then. of course. there Is the gar.
den. No one Is doing what he can
until ne has tried to raise something
10 help out our food supply. The
need for food will be more than last
year. We have a bigger army to
take care OF. The soils OF our allied
countries are getting more and more
exhausted Tho workers 10 till these
soils are being drawn into their ~.
mics. our ally, Italy. In particular
has suffered badly from the food
pinch. II would hcarien her. help
her fighting actively, II we could send
over n great supply of food. Every
little helps.
These arc the two most practical
ways in which the average man can
help. He will feel o lot better II hC
takes hold and really does something
directly helping to win the war.

that merits consideration, it is only
justice that the liquor men be pro-
tected in the ultimate closing of their
affairs. They have put large sums of
money into stock, sums that have
been greatly increased by war taxes
and government leyies OF various
sorts during the present world war.
= Is neither fair nor right that such
an investment shall be Topped off
ruthlessly with no adequate opportu-
nifty to get back the money put into
II. AS We view it eighteen months
time is little enough within which to
get back everything that may be rep
resented in a bar stock. In Elko
alone there are bar stocks that will
touch the $4,000 mark. $4,000 in
cash in eighteen months Is, TO say the
least. 4 comfortable income and one
that is not general by any means. We
know both "wet" and dry" advocates
who. If they made that much money
in eighteen months would retire for
the rest of their lives. From the mere
fact that these people never dream
of being possessed of such sum
themselves, they never take time to
figure out just how long a time
would be required TO accumulate It.
Until 1920 seems fair enough to all
concerned, and we believe this part
of the state will so view it.

METZ TOO STRONG
Direct Attack by Americans
Seems Very Unlikely.
Military Leaders Look for Blow
Farther West.
FORECAST.

Washington, Sept. 14.-whether the
present operation in the St. Mihiel sa-
lent will be extended to an attack on
the strongly fortified city of Metz is
question of military policy Upon
which the general staff is silent,
q The Qualifications Of Metz are among
the most formidable in the world
zaaeat eutworks form q sirdle afoansi
the town and forts on the neighboring
heights command the entire territory.
A frontal attack upon this position
is hardly to be expected, but it's en-
velopment was considered as q logical
part of what was thought to be Mar
shall Foch's general plan to outflank
the enemy in this section as a means
of forcing his armies out Of northern
France and part of Belgium.
Big Guns Might Do 1t.
Some observers believe the war has
demonstrated that great Notifications
are Intellectual against the mammoth
guns the American forces and the
French will be ready to bring into
play when the time comes for the at
tack on Metz. They say the fortifica-
tions viii fall just as the forts at
Antwerp and Liege fell before the Ger
man guns during the march thru Bel
GUM.
Eershing's attack menaces the GER
man left flank. which has been lightly
held since the Germans failed at YER
dun and moved their reserves west
ward for futile attacks in Picardy and
Flanders. If the offensive spreads on
the east into Alsace. where Americans
bold the line, 1t Is possible that a big
turning movement, to roll back the
German left flank, will be attempted.
The American forces before PERISH
ing's present drive began. were al
ready IN German territory. and. as
General March significantly stated a
few weeks ago, within twenty miles OF
the Rhine.
One Route Thru Luxembourg.
But the direction of the attack at
the opening OF the offensive indi-
Gated that 1t is aimed at the Luxeni-
burg gateway to Berlin. The two
great military routes from Berlin to
Paris were thru Belgium and thru
Luxembourg. The Germans chose Bel
GUM as the shorter laying waste =
friendly nation in fragrant violation of
neutrality to accomplish their objec-
tive.
The Belgian highway to Berlin runs
from st. Quentin. now held by the
British. to Givet on the Belgian bor-
der, and thence eastward thru Ger
MANY. crossing the Rhine below Cob
1entz.
The Luxembourg highway IL along
the valley OF the Mosel1e past and
following the Mosel1e to Coblef1tl
where it converees with the Rhine
Here the two roads meet.
The terrain over which the fight Is
progressing is The most difficult on
which the American troops have yet
met the enemy. The Germans were
intrenched upon what IL known as the
Hills Of Lorraine. which formed nat.
ural defense. But once forced from
these the German would find himself
upon the open plains where defense
would be diff1cult and where the
Americans would find 81 ound to theft
