British Premier S Stand
Soidly Backed by Allies
Even Labor Representatives of England France and Italy
Approve Sentiments and War Aims Expressed
by Lloyd George

mans. it declares, will never get better
terms.
Premier Lloyd Georges assertion
that he was not speaking for the gov
ernment, but the nation and the en-.
pirc, "The Daily Telegraph" thinks. will
remove a load of anxiety from many
troubled minds. 1t says that all the
included in the statement, which. hows
ever. it anticipates, will draw cry OF
incredulous rage from Germany.
"Thc Daily News" describes the
statement as landmark in the war,
"bringing us and VIC take it, our allies
generally. into line with the policy
President Wilson constantly has for
mulatcd.
"on these lines" it adds, "thc nation
can 60 forward with clear conscience
and firm purpose. They are the lines
of clean peace and we must stand
by them firmly, unyieldingly. 1t is a
peace Of the people,
"Speaks Mind Of Entente"
"The Daily Express" says the Pre-
mier has spoken the entire mind of The
Entente. Germany, it adds, finds her
self taken seriously, and it is the su-
| premc test Of her sincerity. To "Ihe
Daily Chronicle" the careful terms in
which the aim of an effective league OF
nations is formulated seem among the
most valuable parts Of the historical
utterancc.
The view Of "rhe Morning POST is
that victory is the only war aim worth
considering, and il British governments
had conducted the war from the be-
ginning on that principle, victory
would have been won long ago. 1t APP
proves of the Premier's statement by
implication in saying that it assumes
that the speech means the country will
go on to victory, despite all sacrifices.
"Thc Manchester Guardian" says the
Premier's clear and comprehensive
statement of Great Brtains aims is
great gain, especially as it was made
in the name Of the opposition as we'll
as the government, but that the gain
would have been still greater had the
statement been made in the names Of
the whole Western alliance and en-
bodied in formal declaration as to
the authority Of which there could be
no doubt.
"Thc Guardian" believes reputation
of any intention to disrupt the German
or Austrian state is valuable and may
not be without effect in those coun-
tries. It says, however, that it misses
in the Premicr's speech any response to
the effort which the present Russian
government is putting forth under the
greatest difficulties to make the prin-
ciples of national freedom reality in
the parts of Russian territory now un-
der military occupation by the Central
Powers. The newspaper considers il
neither wise nor generous to assume
that Russia's efforts must of necessity

In the meantime. the 'Tagehlatt"
says, the annexationists arc making
every effort to overthrow Foreign Sec
rotary Won Kuehlmann, certain serious
consequences being threatened openly
if he stays in Office.
DR.. Wekerle, the Hungarian Premier.
and DR.. Won WINNER. the Austrian Min
lister of Nnance, have arrived in Berlin.
Chancellor Won Hertling received n
number of party leaders yesterday, the
Berlin "Lokalanzeiger" says, and gave
them reassuring account of the mill
tary and political situation. He also
discussed number Of personal ques-
tions, possibly with reference to Quar-
tcrmaster General Won Ludendorff,
right hand man of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg. whose resignation has
been reported and denied. AS a result
of what the Chancellor was able to re-
port, the newspaper says, all grounds
of disquietudc may be regarded as hav-
ing been removed.

The "Rheinische Westfalische Zet-
ung' violently attacks DR.. Won Kuehl-
mann's conduct at the Brest-Litovsk
negotiations, which it considers re
sponsible, it says, for the intention of
General Won Ludendorff to resign.
The newspaper regards any further
cooperation between the army COM
mand and DR.. Won Kuehlmann as i'm
possible.
Admiral Won Trpitz, vocing the de-
mands of the Fatherland party and the
Pan-Germans regarding the ncgotia-
tions with Russia, has telegraphed to
Chancellor Won Hertling. formally
commencing the firm stand taken by
the Chancellor toward the Russian de-
mands. In the position taken by Rus
sia. says the admiral is seen "the fruit
of ten days work of the Entente" He
claims the transfer of the negotiations
to Stockholm would constitute a de-
cisve step on the path to a general
peace which would have no regard for
Germany's vital needs.
The National Liberal party of Brand
enburg Province, at meeting yester-
day. a Berlin Dispatch reports, took
the point of view that the demands Of
the supreme army command in the
east and the west must be decisive. 1t
was agreed that the peace terms must
be SUCH as will guarantee German S
future and be approved by Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg and General Won
Ludendorff.
Out of 397 votes in the German
Reichstag the Social Democrats, OF ma

from the Scheidemann wing early in
the war, had 19 votes.

LONDON. Jan. 7.--Lloyd George s
words are still ringing through Europe
where, from every corner of every AL
lied country. they hacve evoked echoes
OF praise and acquiescencc.
What is better than anything else
from an Allied standpoint, is tho fact
that his speech to the labor repre-
sentatives here on Saturday has been
favorably received by the parties Of
the Left in every Entente country.
British, French and Italian labor all
heartily approve the sentiments and
the war aims expressed by the Premier.
Take. for instance. the comments Of
Philip Snowden. one of the most rad-
cal opponents of the Premier in this
country. With the exception of q few
minor points. he expressed himsel {
completely in accord with Lloyd
Georges speech. This is consider
able admission for a man like Snow
den, who has been the Frcmier's Bit
terest opponent in Parliament.
In this country the Liberal as we'll
as the Conservative press acclaims the
Premier's words as expressing the sen
tlment of Britain, if not Of all the AL
lies: One exception is that of The
Daily Sketch" which bewais the fact
that Lloyd George has finally re-
nounced the policy of a knockout blow
In these words;
1--WE have placed the enemy in the
comfortable position of having nothing
to fear, no matter what happens. If
he loses, he will not suffer: we shall
ask him merely to yield up what he has
stolen and to repair i'll some degree
what he has dan naged and then go his
way in peace. He who has converted
Europe into slaughter house and the
world into place of despair is to an
swer for none cf his crimes against
the laws of God and the laws Of man
and will undergo no punishment"
This editorial is not typical of any
source of public opinion here. 1t is
the one exception proving the rule Of
thte popularity of Lloyd George s
speech.
"Now that Lloyd George has spoken,
the world breathes more easily" says
cne French writer, and the fact is that
the Allies at least drew freer breath
over the events of the week end, for
the Premier frightened the bonds of
unity among the Allies
"The Times" declares it is the most
important state document since the
declaration of war. 1t commends the
moderation Of the statement, which
however, it thinks may dsconcert some
tried friends and allies and even lend
itself to enemy Misrepresentation. "Thc
Daily Mail" says that nothing could be
more simple or more democratic than
the statement, and the whole British
people are solid behind it. The Ger

The correspondent adds that it is a

pretend to ignore NJ. Trotzky, while
in fact they are obliged to recognize

Bolsheviki Strengthen
Front; Send Home Men
Unwilling to Fight

LONDON. Jan. 1.-THE Bolsheviki
are definitely strengthening the front,
Petrograd advices say. The correspon-
dent of "The Daily News" obtained
this information from M. Radek, one ofs
the Russian delegates who took n
prominent part in the negotiations with
the Austrians and Germans at Petro-
grad He said the Bolsheviki we're in
tending to send homo all who did not
wish to fight, so that they would have
an army which was willing to fight for
an IDEAL.
The correspondent asked what would
be the attitude of the Bolsheviki, in
the case of actual war, in regard to
help from the Allies. NJ Radek re-
piled:
eve do not desire their help, Our
strength lies in our weakness, and If
we accepted help from the Allies the
significance OF our position would be
destroyed. The weaker we are the
stronger we are. The Germans can
drive US back, but what good would it
do them?
Country Stripped Bare
"The country behind the front has
been stripped bare There is not
enough there to feed single horse.
The Germans will not wish millions of
starving persons on their hands.
owe stand for democratic peace.
So do the German working classes. If
the German government attacks us it
will display itself to its own people
in its true light"
A telegram from Brest-Litovsk to
Amsterdam gives wireless message
sent to NJ. Joffe, chairman of the Rus
sian delegation. by Foreign Minister
Won Kuehlmann for the German deIega-
tion, Foreign Minister Czernin for the
Austrians. Foreign Minister Nessimy
Bey for the Turks, and Minister Of
Justice Popoff for the Bulgarians. 1t
recalls the fact that when the Central
powers outlined the terms on which
they were willing to make peace they
stipulated that these terms would be
valid only If all the belligerents bound
themselves within a certain period to
observe them.
The Russians then fixed ten days as
the period in which the other belliger-
ents were to decide whether to join in
the negotiations, but although this time
elapsed January d, nothing has been
heard from them.

other towns in the United States.
Round Mountain has sold the i'm
mense sum of Sc for each person,
G~oodsprings 81, and Goldfield al
most exactly IS. The figures are
from compilations made in the Of
flee of Fred l.. White, state direc-
tor war savings.
On Dec. 81, Mr.. White telegraph

HIGH DEMURRAGE
EFFECTIVE JAM q
GESTION APPLIES TO
SHELTERS

New demurrage rates to apply on
all railroads in the country will be-
come effective Jan. -.
Under the e rates c~onsignees
will Ice permitted As hours free
time for tie unloading of cars. On
the first day after the expiration
of the free time, or fraction there
OF, consignees will pay SO, the rate
increasing 81 each succeeding day
to o maximum of $40 per day,
which would be reached on the
eighth day. The $40 rate would be
eli ectIve on all following days un-
til the car was unloaded.
Heretofore smelters have been
permitted 90 hours free time, as
there always has been more or less
congestion at their unloading bins,
out this now has been done away
with by the new law and but As
hours will be permitted them, the
same as other c~onsignees.
The law will also eliminate 1.-The
average agreement" under which,
if a number of car were ordered
to arrive on succeeding days and
they became punched in transit and
all arrived on the same day reduc-
tions in demurrage charges would
be made on some of the ears. After
Jan. 81, regardless of the number
of cars received, demurrage must
be paid on all of them after As
hours.
This law is one that railroads
have been endeavoring to have put
in effect Tor a long time, but it is
claimed that their efforts have al
ways been defeated by big business
interests. Now that Uncle Sam
has taken over the operation of the
roads, it is one of his first steps
to secure more cars and relieve
congestion.

MAN IN BAD
At TRAINING CAMP
SAYS LORD TOLD HIM HE
SHOULD NOT BE IN
WAR

In a letter written by James ].
Duffy, one of the Goldfield boys at
Camp Lewisl he has the following
10 say about Louis Steiner, a ma
tive of Switzerland, who left here
for Camp Lewis with one of the
draft ~contingents:
Louis Steiner, one of the men
who came with our quota, has alb
solutely refused to drill any more.
lone morning he told the captain
that the Lord had told him he
should not be in this war and the
captain, of course, just passed on
the remark, thinking Louis was jok-
ing. When they called the roll be-
fore going out to drill Louis was
among the missing and a searching
party was sent after him, but not
a trace of him could be found.
"At supper time he showed up at
the barracks, l suppose 1t was be-
cause he was hungry, and ate a
hearty supper. After supper he was
hauled on the carpet and given a
sentence of two months in the kit
chen by the captain.
HE worked in the kitchen for a
few days and when the opening
presented itself he packed his be-
longings and went to Tacoma. He
was not there long before he was
caught by military police and sent
back here.
HE was tried by court-martial
and now sojourns in the guard
house, for how long I do not know"
After commenting on Steiner's
conduct, Duffy says: "The right
way is to intern all such men, be-
cause they are a detriment and a
danger to the army"

MADE

A surprise awaits those who have
not kept track of the work which
has been done recently at the Mil
ford No. /, which Is owned and
operated by the Goodsprings Min
ing company. The company was
organized in 1910 by Jesse Knight
and G. L. Hyde and includes the
Milford-Addison claims which are
located near the entrance Of State
Line Pass, which separates the state
of Nevada and California.
Under lease to the late H. j.
Jarman, the property was worked
for many years with much success
and since the expiration Of the
lease to Mr.. Jarman, operations
have been resumed by the company.
This Is a large zinc producer and
the grade of the ore produced is of
the highest in the district.
Recent operations have proved
unusually encouraging and r is
being produced rapidly. A short
time ago the management shipped
a carload of as high grade zinc as
ever left the district, and there is
now a carload of zinc in transit.
There are also rs tons of lead ore
broken and ready for shipment as
soon as the bins and ore chutes are
clear.

Trouble Over Bill

A bill from the Burns detective
agency for $1,000 was the occasion
for much comment In Ely when 1t
was presented to the board of coun-
ty commissioners. The agency was
employed by a grand jury last year
to investigate matters in which the
jury was interested. The bill was
protested by Anthony Zurich. a
resident of Ely, who said that the
practice of mourning an indebted
ness In secret in this n was
a plain violation of Nevada statu-
ties. His protest stayed all proceed
ings for 10 days and he stated that
he would institute an action to pre-
vent payment of the bill.

reached there and it is reported
that damaging evidence Is being
accumulated against Hughes.
The district attorney said this
morning that he had Hughes in
Jail and that he would look no fur
Their for the man who did the
shooting.
Hughes al arrested at his home,
635 North Fifth avenue, shortly
after daylight and shortly after
the gun was found. District At
torney Foley, Sheriff ingalls, and
Officer Benton went to the house
and took him into custody. He
was in bed when arrested.
When Night Officer Benton ran
around the corner of the Athletic
club building, he found Steiner
standing there and Immediately
searched him for a gun, thinking
that he might have done the shoot
ing. In their investigation the au-
thorities say they have established
that Steiner is innocent and thai
he had nothing to do with the
shooting.
Although officials have made nc
statement to the effect. it is said
on good authority that their reason
for not arresting Hughes until after
the finding of the gun was that
Identification of the weapon is al,
most positive.
1t is reported that on Wednes-
day night the weapon hat was
found in the lot on Myers street
was taken from Hughes in a locaI
saloon and that he returned to the
saloon last night and secured it.
1t is thought an inquest into the
death of Graf will be held at ? p
