JAPANESE STATESMAN
 HAS FAITH IN THE ALLIES

NAYOGA, Japan, June 1 (by main. A Japanese policy of strong adh"r ence to the Anglo-Japanese alliance. supported by the agreement with the United States. was enunciated the other day by Viscount Takaaki Kato, leader of the ConstitutiOnalist party, which Is opposed to the present gov ernment. Addressing a general meet ing of the Constitutionalist party he declared that 1t was time Japan had a stable cabinet in order to put such policy into effect KatO was for merly Minister Of Foreign Affairs.
 The speech is of interest because of the existing reports that the Ter auchi cabinet will resign before the summer has passed. thought the fact Is to be borne in mind that 1t repre- sents the dictum of a party which seeks 10 return to power.
 Niscount Kato praised the Entente hiIit9 l'I tilf "dN III W HItH lIi'S Ii'th met the military emergency created by Germany's long preparation for the war. He continued:
 "It is probable that Germany will fail in realizing her ambitions in the present war; but if she should by any chance gain the final victory what would be the position of the allies? Should things come to such q pass France would Of course be placed in the most difficult position. and Brit ain also would have tO withdraw her troops from the continent and devote her whole energies to the def"ns" ot her own country.
 "In such case. the warfare will pass from land to sea, and when due con sidcration is given to the very power full British navy, supported by the huge navy of America, il is a forcgonc con clusion that the allies nayies would emerge victorious"

Approval.

Some fairly extensive building op-
eratonS are contemplated by the

an early date.
Notice has been given to T. w.

for factory building just now.

likely that other contracts will be
given. One of the branches is seek

John ID. Sullivan, Survivor of the
White Pine Rush In the COS,
Called by Death

Another pioneer prospector and
miner came to the END of the
Trail'' in the death of John D. Sulli-

ranch on Saturday last.
Just fifty years ago, during the
White Pine excitement Mr.. Sullivan
came to Nevada from California and
settled at Pancake HILL and was
known to the miners of half a CEN
tury as Pancake Sullivan. He
took deep interest in public af-
fairs in the early days and when the
people OF Eureka wanted to divide
Lander county and create the coun-
ty of Eureka, with Eureka as the
county seat, he went to Carson City
and advocated the measure before
the Legislature When the bill pass
ed and ii became the duty of the
Governor to appoint the county Of
ficers, who we're to serve until the
next general election. John ID. Sulli-
van was made the first sheriff of Eu-
reka county.
During the early eighties he went
to the IXL mining district. The
venture did not prove successful and
about thirty years ago he came to
Churchill county and settled at Cot
tonwood Canyon. near the Boyer
ranch, now known as Nickel, where
he became interested in copper prop
critics which he worked up to the
time of his demise.
Deceased was a native of New
Brunswick and was 81 years of age.
His brother, Chas. NJ Sullivan of
Los Gatos, Cal. arrived here last
Sunday to arrange for the funeral.
The body was brought in and in
tered in the Fallon cemetery yes
