French Held the Enemy Ev-
erywhere in the Fighting
During Last Night
MADE PROGRESS AT
SEVERAL POINTS
Violent German Attack on Both Sides
of the Road Between Chateau Thierry
and Paris Was Broken Up by the
French-Marne Not Crossed.

PARIS, June 3.-The French held the
enemy losses were heavy. The French
took prisoners, the war Office reports.
The French concentrated along the
whole front between the Oureq and the
Marne and made progress at several
points. A violent German attack on
both sides of the road between Chateau
Thierry and Paris was broken up by
the French.
Nowhere has there been any attempt
by the invaders to cross the river and
at all points east of Chateau Thierrv
they are hugging the northern bank of
the stream. 1t is not improbable, how
ever that the tactics of the Germans
have in view the fording of the river
when the time is more propitious, for in
the centre of the line between Chateau
Thierry and Rheims they have pushed
back the allied front across the Rheims
Dormans road between Olizzy-V Violaine
and Ville-en-T -Tardenois and are pressing
onward toward the Marine. This is the
only point on the their left wing, how
ever, where the enemy has been able
to make fresh gains, Notwithstanding
the fact that he has thrown new divi-
sions into the battle, some of them the
best trained troops in the Germany
army.
Having failed in all their efforts tc
capture Rheims by direct assault, il
| now seems to be the intention of the
Germans further to widen their occu
| patton of the territory lying south ol
| the Rheims Dormans road and thereb,
outhank the Cathedral City and brin,

one on either side of the vessel and
sgnaled to the captain to heave to. The
commander of one of the submarines
then boarded the schooner in a small
boat and gave the crew 10 minutes to
leave the ship. The crew took to their
own boats Immediately and the Ger

vessel and blew her up. just before
the explosion occurred an American
steamship appeared in the offing and
the other Uboat Immediately gave
chase. The last Capt. Newcomb saw of
the steamer she was making off at full
speed. The crew of the Cole was sub.

auxiliary naval vessel, brought to an
Atlantic port last night and thence

charge by naval officials. The auxiliary
vessel carrying the Cole s crew was

White Pine Is Banner
County mRed XDniUe

Word has been received by Mayor
A. B. Witcher. chairman of the local
Red Cross chapter, that White Pine
county has exceeded it's quota by a
greater percentage than any other
county In the state and that Nevada
leads all other states of the western
division in percentage of membership
obtained in the Red Cross drive ac-
cording to reports received up to
January 18th.
The official quota allotted White
Pine county was 14SS, while the
county's enrolment at the close of
the drive was 2,400.
McGill did excellent work during
the period and it is largely due to
the efforts of the smelter town that
White Pine county made such an ex-
cellent showing. McGill now has a
regular auxiliary of which d. Boyd
Smith is chairman and Miss Mamie
Glenn is secretary.
Although tue peoPie Vi lhlS eeeeioh
are getting pretty well accustomed to
compliments since the various war
propositions have been taken up, it
is a pleasure to receive such reports
from headquarters, particularly when
the figures show that White Pine
county leads every county in the
leading state of the western division.
Chairman Anthony Zurich of the
Red Cross Christmas membership
drive received the news without
manifesting much perturbation, and
philosophically remarked: "Oh, we'll,
what else would you naturally ex-
pect?"

Dated, Ely, New, Jan. 16. 1918.
Treasurer Bath told Mr.. Doyle and
Mr.. Millard that before making pay
ment of any such sums under all the
conditions and surrounding circum-
stances, and in further view of the
fact that legal proceedings had been
instituted, he desired to get legal ad-
vice on the subject before taking any
action.
As the matter now stands the two
bills have been rejected by the coun
ty commissioners and both have beer
approved by the judge and an orde
issued directing the payment of th'
money.
Just what the outcome of the mat
ter will be remains to be seen, but l
is safe to say that the county treas
urer will make sure-of his grounC
before putting himself in a position
whereby he might later be called
upon to refund the tidy sum o.

The boys are doing some very
good work in tho drills, but little

liven interest and keep the organi-
2ation up to an excellent stabdard
of efficiency. Outside interest is es-

WHO STARTED THE JOKEP

Considerable interest was created
by story In circulation during the
week to the effect that Bernard
Dederlehs, one of the proprietors OF
the City Market in Ely. who Is now
on a pleasure trip, accompanied by
Mrs. Dederichs. and visiting cities
along the Pacific coast, had been in
termed for making seditious remarks.
Mr.. Dederichs. while born on German
soil. is an American citizen and has
been in business in here many years.
This fact made the story more inter-
esting. However, upon hearing of
the matter, Gus Weiss wired his part
ner In regard TO 1t and received this
reply

kidding you. VIII be back sometime

subject in which he stated that he

no legal authority to order the SER

claim for such services, but that the

advice of District Attorney Whiteley
