II tell you | was discouraged. Then
suddenly across the tracks from our
station | saw an American Red Cross
canteen. and all my troubles were at
an end.
Lots of people must have the same
idea of these canteens that used to
have-just little shacks where you
were handed out a cup Of sloppy cof-
fee. We r all wrong. These Red
Cross places beat q New York hotel
for variety of service, even IL they
don't have the gilt furniture and tip
takers. Here La what happened to me:
First I had a bath. a real one. with
plenty of soap and water. While I
was getting clean my clothes. every
stitch, were cleaned and sterilized.
Then l had a meal of real American
cooking. actually sitting down at q ta-
BILE to eat It. After that I went into the
canteen barber shop and had q shave
and haircut. Then, being a gentleman
of leisure, | strolled into the canteen
movie theater and saw some good
American films. However, ! soon turn
ed In for the night into a clean, dry
bed that felt like heaven-or home.
sAnd now this morning, after a fine
breakfast, ! am sitting In the canteen
writing this letter to you and waiting
comfortably for my train. You Just
can't possibly imagine what these Red
Cross women are doing for US soldiers
and for the French and English, too.
Each canteen takes care of thousands
every day.

ings once again and give us the nerve
to go on with this game OF licking the

There is a general expression of re-
greet that Mr.. and Mrs. Elliott arc
not TO make their home in Ely as
they have been active in the business
and social life of the district. There
Is however, satisfaction in the knowl-
edge that Mr.. Elliott is to continue
the conduct of the Northern, with
Jack krotzer as manager. while Au-
gust Mahrt will have charge OF the
bar. Both men have been with the
Northern for q number of years and
are too we'll and favorably known
with the public TO need any further
introduction. MI. Elliott has no in
tention of severing permanently his
affiliations with Ely and will be a
frequent visitor here. as he will con-
tinue as food administrator for White
Pine county. the affairs OF which Of

RED CROSS DRIVE FOR
GOOD OF HUMANITY

On this second Red Cross drive
McGill has raised $4,000. in addi-
ton to which the Nevada Consoli-
dated and Nevada Northern COM
panies have given $4,000, divided
between the chapters of the district.
And the beauty OF 1t is, but only a
very small portion of this giving is
done grudgingly. OF curse, no mat
ter what the cause. there are always
a few who give only Il ave their
face, not because their heart Is with
the cause. Our people have not yet
awakened to a full sense of their per-
sonal responsibility. The women do
70 give their services L the Red
Cross as they should. Those who are
working are doing a good work but
there are so many who might help
who don't.

my hand or give a dollar to keep the
Germans from grabbing the whole

II they could only see the Ger
mans coming. these asleep at the
switches would all be up and doing.
but It's all too far away as yet. God
grant for the sake Of the rest of us
that they may awaken but not from
such cause.
There can be but n of W. re-
suits to this war: a German defeat
OF q German world. ! do not believe
the American people would ever sub
NIT to the latter. l think they, each
and all, would die fighting as did the
early settlers when oyerpowered by
the Indians. saving their last bullet
for their women.
But I am wandering into the
realms Of fiction and fancy. l should
have said there can be but one re-
suit to this war, and that German
defeat. For We a win and shall
win. ] shall not say ''by the grace of
God for l fancy the Almighty is
pretty hard put to it to provide grace
for all the warning nations.
When the Creator laid down his
laws to Moses for the guidance and
government of the peoples of this
earth. and enjoined them strictly
against taking the name of the AL
mighty in vain, | do not believe that,
with all His knowledge of things,
past, present and future, He ever
dreamed of such blasphemy as has
been coined by that arch-fend of
hell, the Kaiser,-"ME unit Colt"
Say, now, wouldn't Heaven be a
lonesome place il that German pin
head could slip hat over? Every
body present would call for rain
checks and beat it for home. | very

take his check along with the rest,
