NOT COMPULSORY TO STATE
REAL AGE WHEN REGISTERING

1t will not be necessary for women.
or men either for that matter, to give
their exact ages when registering for
election this year, under an interpre-
tation of the new election law as CIV
en- by Attorney-General Thatcher in
an opinion written by e. t. Patrick,
deputy encouragement
The question first was raised when
County Clerk Beemer of Washoe
county refused to register woman
voter because she refused to state her
exact age. The following opinion
is from the attorney generals office:
"Yon inquire whether or not the
women, upon application for regis
/ tration, will have to give their exact
age, or whether mere stating of the
fact that she is over 81 years of age
will comply with the registration. law.
Section IL, Statutes 1917, 42S, of
the registration act provides as fol-
lows: Any elector residing within
dhe county may registersby appearing
} before the county clerk or deputy
registrar and making satisfactory an
swers to all questions 'propounded by
the county clerk, touching the items
of information called for by such reg
istry card and by signing and verify
ing the affidavit or affidavits on such
card
"The qualification of electors pre-
scribed by the constitution of this
state is found in article 2, section l
of the constitution, as amended. ap-
proved and ratified by the people at
the general election in 1914. Such
amendment appears in the laws of
1913 at page 5S1 and such section as
so amended reads as follows: All
citizens of the United States (not
laboring under the disabilities named
in this constitution) of the age of 81
years and upwards who shall have ac-
tually and not constructively resided
in the state six months, and in the dis
trict or county 80 days next preced-
ing any election, are entitled to vote
for all officers that now are or here
afteramay be elected by the people,
and upon all questions submitted to
the electors at such election
Therefore, all that the registrar
can require of any person applying
for registration is satisfactory an
swers to such questions as will salts
fly him that the applicant is 81 years
Of age and upwards and has actually
resided in the state six months, and in
the district or county 80 days next

FIRE BELL AGAIN
REFUSED TO WORK

AT about 2 o'clock this morning,
during a heavy electrical storm. the
big Feed wire of the Winnemucca
water & Light Company, which car
ries 23OO volts, either from abrasion
against a tree which stands near the
nome OF Chris Diess, in Uppertown,
or for some other season, short-cir-
Quilted and nearly produced another
real fire and may well have caused
several casualties as well.
The electric wires fell in the street
and their spluttering and flashing was
noticed by Miss Edna Diess, who i'm
mediately proceeded to turn on the
garden hose, until stopped by some of
the neighbors. The whole street was
aroused and someone called Mrs. Kate
Lebaron, night telephone operator,
and told her there was a fire.
After trying for about ten minutes
to make the old fire bell ring, without
results, the operator finally tele-
phoned to Fire Chief Gillian.
But soon the excitement subsided
and the real facts were brought out,
the power plant communicated with
and the juice turned off.
c. c. Wright, deputy county clerk,
whose house is near the scene, ran
out in chilly garments of the night
and tells story of stepping within a
few inches of the live wire Many
other neighbors relate tales of mar.
row escapes. The flashes are dc
scribed as yards long and the whole
street was lighted up like a Fourth
of July.

in a comatose condition.

SAYS AMERICANS
TAKE NO PRISONERS

Kings Sergeant Fred Grange of the
first Canadian division spoke at the
American theatre last night under the
auspices of the council of defense.
He lectured Interestingly on his ex-
periences during the war.
The sergeant has seen many years
Of military life, having just finished
fourteen years service in the English
army when the present war broke out
and he Immediately enlisted with the
Canadian army. Consequently he has
been for over three years in active
service in the present war. He was
wounded and gassed several times.
For bravery displayed near Ypres be
was summoned before the king of
England and the king personally dec
GRATED him and conferred the rank of
sergeant He has only recently been
discharged on account of his wounds
incapacitating him from further duty.
Sergeant Grange is travelling about
the country at his own expense, lee
turing upon certain phases of the war
in Europe and appealing for subscrip-
tions to the Y. NJ. c. A. and Red Cross
funds. During the course of his talk
last evening two things stood out
most graphically in his story. The
first was that after capturing a line
of German trenches at one point, the
Canadians found evidence of the fact
that the Germans are really COM
mitting the atrocity SO often read Of
erucifying allied soldiers with bay
onets. He said he had seen several
such incidents. Secondly, he told OF
how the Red Cross and Y. NJ. C. A. had
made it possible for the boys during
the early stages of the war to secure
baths. 1t had been eight months, he
said, before his contingent had baths
after their arrival in France and al
that time were allowed only one pint
of water each day for drinking pur-
poses. out Of which enough had to be
saved for wash" if one was wanted.
we were lucky" he said, ITO get a
wash once a week" After the advent
VI NhN ANNo NAoSo anu A y. "A. VI
ganizations over there" the soldiers
were provided with baths and clean
clothing at least once week, which
was quite an Improvement over their
former experience.
One thing hard to believe was the
statement of the sergeant to the effect
that neither the Canadians nor our
own Americans boys were taking
prisoners now. they having learned of
the treatment accorded their COM
rades when captured by the boches
and determined to treat them like
wise. He said the Canadians and
Americans were very anxious to fight
side by side and If they were so al
lowed would push a hole straight
through to Berlin. The only differ
ence between the Canadians and
the Americans over there, he said, ''is
the boundary line"
The speaker was met in the theatre
by a crowded house, many people
having to be turned away because
the seats were all taken.
