oyer THE TOP TO
START NEXT ISSUE

Sergeant Arthur Guy Empey's story
of the World War, "Over the Top" to
be published serially in The Silver
State, will make its first appearance
in the next issue of this paper-Tues-
day, March 26.
"Over the Top" isn't a war ro-
nance; it is a plain, unvarnished re-
cital of the experiences of our own
boys now across the water will have.
Empey knows what war is; he lived
in the midst of it for a year and a
half-endured all its hardships and
sufferings. 1t is a story readers will
not soon forget.

OUR GIRLS WIN BY
SCORE OF 38 TO II

Last night the Winnemucca high
school girls defended their state
championship title against the fast
Elko basketball team at the Winnie
mucca high school gymnasium. Our
girls certainly showed the Elko team
how the game should be played E"
Witness: Winnemucca, 3S; Elko IL.
The game was fast and interesting
from start to finish, as the teamwork
of both teams had been developed TO
a higher standard than ever before
this season.
This is the largest crowd that has
ever turned out for a basketball game
in this CITY," was remarked. Addi-
tional chairs had to be hurried in to
seat the unlocked for attendance.
Apparently the game was financial
success.
Erma Hoskins starred for the win
ners, tossing baskets from all angles
and being in the game every minute
of play.
Winnemucca lined up as follows:
Ethel Brown. captain, forward; Erma
Hoskins, forward; Ruth Vargas, CEN
ter; Louise Cooney, side center; Fran
ces Hoskins and Helen Rose, guards;
and Mabel Rel, substitute.
The Elko team was composed of:
Adele Clinton, captain, center; Dor
othy Middleton, side center; Agnes
Ruddel and Pearl Bryant, guards;
Nevada Butler and Julia Wines, for
wards; Nettie Gardner and Josephine
Reid, substitutes.

rope and other places where they have
been sent by the United States govern
ment The reason is that there are not
enough ships to bring them back soon
even though it were advisable to leave
no part Of the great force in order to
make certain that the terms Of the peace
treaties are carried out That compare
tive slowness of the return of the troops
means that small nation of men must
be kept busy and contented during their
stay in Europe and other sections Of the
globe and that they may come back
sound in mind and in body.
To assist in the work of keeping the
men busy and contented at time when
their military duties are somewhat re-
Taxed and when they are longing for the
sight of home and loved ones is the OBJ
legation which various organizations have
taken upon themselves. For more than
a year these organizations have been
working separately although along sim
liar lines, raising their funds in separate
drives and conducting their work more
or less Independently. The needless
waste of such plan has come home to
the leaders of those movements, and so
it has been decided to consolidate the
drives for contributions from the Amer
lean people into one grand effort which
shall run from Nov. IL to Nov. Is. The
organizations doing war work Exclusive
of the Red Cross have joined forces I'M
der the designation of the United War
Work campaign and they ask the people
of this nation to contribute approximate
ly S250,000,000, an amount which is nee
essary to carry on the great work which
is being done for the soldiers and sailors
in the United States service. How much
those organizations have done for the
soldiers and sailors we have learned from
time to time through the appreciatiye
letters which the boys have written back
home What it would mean to them to
have those services cut off through the
failure of the American people to furnish
the necessary funds can easily be mag
ined. The boys would become discon-
tented, feel deserted and would wander
off in search of their own amusement and
satisfaction in channels which might not
be for their best good. To prevent such
state of affairs and to let the boys
know that the American people are
standing back of them intellectually
this nation must contribute $250,0o0,OO0

a DEspAIRING EFFoRT.

Report has. It that the Germans are
feverishly throwing up breastworls on
the boundary Of Bavaria and Austria in
expectation Of great allied drive at the
southern part Of Germany through Aus
trian territory; but such efforts would
seem to be puny indeed, A great system
of defenses cannot be built up in a day,
or week or u month 1t is probable
that the building Of breastworks would
have to start from nothing inasmuch az
Germany had not seen fit to fortify the
border between herself and Austria, hav-
ing gone on the assumption that Austria
would always be on ally and that, there
fore, Austrian territory could never be
used as q pathway into lower Germany
So the Germans would have to build
from the beginning, not to strengthen
positions already established. Whatever
they could prepare in the comparatively
short time at their disposal would not
avail them much, for the great guns Of
the allies would soon grind them into
powder much as the German guns

as to make il rather difficult to deter,
mine how much credit should be given to

on the other hand, it might be possible

themselves moderated its gravity, though
doctors who worked through the bad

free to say that they feared it much

have been among the medical authorities

this country had nothing to fear, because
there was here no such loss of vitality

Governor Elect Coolidge.

The people of Massachusetts, have done
well by themselves in their choice Of gov.
ernor. They will have no cause to regret
il, for the governor elect will, we venture,
grow in strength before the people here
and elsewhere as his administration Of
the Office, for which he is so well fitted
by training and temperament, reveals the
true quality Of his leadership.
1t Is often said of Ca&in Coolidge that
the people trust him; it il not said often
enough that Calvin Coolidge trusts the
people. He never plays tricks with them
or upon them As he has told us; "We
need a broader, firmer, deeper faith in
the people, the faith that men desire to
do right that the commonwealth is
founded upon righteousness which will
endure, reeonseerated faith that the
final approval of the people is not given
to demagogues, slavishly pandering to
their selfshness, merchandising with the
elamor Of the hour, but to statesmen,
ministering to their welfare representing
their deep, silent, abiding convictions.
His whole public life has found him adj
herring to his firm belief that IMAM has a

The New Hampshire Election.

There was only one big issue in the
campaign that came to its ballots climax
yesterday, and it is with satisfaction
that The Union records this morning the
clean-cut stand taken by New Hampshire
ON the issue.
The question was not personal to any
of the candidates, and, while this was too
much to hope for, it ought not to have
been partisan. 1t was: Whether or not
this state and its congressional districts
should elect their own representatives to
the Senate and House, or should send
men bearing mandate TO do the will of
one man in the making of the nations
laws.
This issue, created by the president,
was accepted by the Republicans, and
their campaign was fought upon it, And
the party voted with almost surprising
solidity for representative as against
personal government, 1t was inevitable
that the appeal for support of the presi
dent through the period Of the war should
have some effect, and, of course, the vote
was relatively small, on account of the
absent men in the service, and those who
have moved away. But, taken by and
large, the vote was eminently satisfac-
tory, as an expression Of Republican SEN
timent in favor Of maintaining our meth
Cd of lawmaking by representation.
At the time when this is written, the
result as between George II. Moses and
John B. Jameson is in doubt. Here the
issue was obscured At this point the
Democrats made their campaign, turning
all their guns upon Moses, There could
be only one result Of this maneuver. Pit
ting the man whom they have saved up"
for some such occasion against the Re
publican convention candidate, the Dem
ocrats could not help cutting deeply into
