offices are now open in IA of the
chief cities of the United States to
receive applications of disabled
soldiers and sailors of the Ameri-
can army and navy for free edu-
cation to equip them for the voca-

vocations and are in the following
cities: Washington, Philadelphia,
New York, Boston, Atlanta, New
Orleans, Cincinnati, st. Louis, Dali
las, Denver, Chicago, Minnesota,
San Francisco and Seattle.
At each office are stationed men
to advise the disabled fighters as
to what they are entitled to re-
ceive, a medical officer and a man
to obtain employment for TENN
when they are ready to go to work.
1t is promised by the federal board
that applications will be sympa-
~thetically considered with the best
interests of the disabled men in
mind.

EXAMINATIONS BY
DRAFT BOARDS
TO CONTINUE

There has been much speculation
regarding whether the war depart
ment would go through with the
draft program or to what extent
this would be done.
This morning the local board
received from Adjutant General
Maurice Sullivan a telegram stat
ing that all general and voluntary
special calls were cancelled pend
ing further orders, but that the
processes of classification, physical
examination and other activities
of the ~selective draft will not be
affected or interrupted by the or
der. Calls or orders for Undue
ton into the navy or marine corps
will not be affected.

While receiving re-education
the government will pay the dis
abled men SOS a month and in adj
dition will provide funds necessary
to pay educational fees. Each
man accepted for re-education will
be sent to an institution giving
special courses in the line he has
chosen or he will be given instruc-
ton in any industry he wishes to
learn.
During his training period al
lowances will be made by the gov
eminent to his dependents, such
as wife, children and mother.
These will be fixed in proportion
to the amount they received while
he was in active service.
When the disabled man has
finished his training the federal
board promises to have employment
ready for him. After he has gone
to work again his compensation
from the war risk insurance bu-
reau begins and will continue un-
affected by the amount of his
earnings.

SHOOTING IN TONOPAH

Tonopah Times: James Cusick,
superintendent for the Halifax Min
ing company, was shot and perhaps
fatally wounded at II o'clock last
night by Alex d. Mckenzie, who
was employed as an engineer at
the mine. The shooting occurred
in front of the Bandbox barber
shop on Main street, where the
men had been standing for several
minutes before Mckenzie fired.
Mckenzie, who is chairman Of the
Nye county republican central
committee, was formerly chief of
police of Tonopah and has been a
resident of the camp since it's early
days. Soon after his arrest Nc
Kenzie was locked up in the coun-

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IL. =
Captain B. w. Schroeder of the
United States air service, who made
"a new record flying to an altitude
CT $4,000 feet over the state of
Clio on Sept. Is, which record
has been officially confirmed, has
written an interesting report of
his sensational flight to Major
General Kenly, director of the mil
itary aeronautics.
Following is Captain Schroeder's
story:
I'm order to take an airplane to
a higher altitude than any other
pilot in the world, I made three
attempts. The first one took me
$4,000 feet, the second to $4,000
feet and the last one to $4,000
feet, but now 1 feel certain that
can get to 10000 feet.
"The cold, thin air is ones
greatest adversely. I made a
steady climb, circularly, passing
through clouds at 5000 feet, 49,
600 feet and $4,000 feet. At 20
900 feet, while still climbing in
large circles, my goggles became
frosted, making it very difficult
for me to read my instruments.
when 1 reached $4,000 feet,
noticed the sun growing very dim.
l could hardly hear my motor run,
and l felt very hungry. The trend
of my thought was that 1t must be

SOLDIER In FRANCE
HAS LITTLE FAITH
IN TtUTON TALK

Written from Somewhere in
France" by Earl C. Dart to George
Kernick of Tonopah is one of the
best letters from soldiers ever seen
in Goldfield. Dart was well
known here in the early days and
had a number of claims in the Di-
vide district. He was an intimate
friend OF Jim Butler, the discover
er of Tonopah, and recently sent
Butler a German helmet taken
from a soldier captured by him.
The letter is dated Sept. 23.
After telling of his preference for
being under artillery fire and of
his dislike for bombs dropped from
airplanes near him at night, he
says: at is a great game all
around, but l do not wonder that
it gets on peoples nerves after
three or four years. l hope the
Boches can be chased clear into
German territory before the cold
weather, because IL work will be
simpler and more straightforward
if that can be done. The soldiers
all think hat unless Fritz is near
ly annihilated now and the cOun-
try literally disarmed, no matter
what the peace treaty calls for or
what he says he will do, Fritz will
go at it again just as soon as he
can recuperate.

of madmen than rational beings. |

ishness that there is no use talk
ing about it. 1t fairly staggers

OF the B~olsheviki he says: ~
believe they are mere animated
vegetables, because they show no
trace of humanity. A large part
of Russia is so exasperatingly ig-
norant hat it has to lay down and
rest every now and then to be able
to pack the burden. They are
true-bred twin brothers of the
American l. w. w. The Japs have
planted a few of them so deep that
they will not come up unless they
left their Whiskers sticking out for
seed. They say all you have to
do to produce n in Russia is to

a live one and plant them, fertiliz-
ed with a little German propa-
ganda and vodka. In due time

JOHN R.. DALEY
DIES IN SPARKS
GOLDFTELD MOURNS PASSING
OF WIDELY KNOWN YOUNG
MAN

John R. Daley died yesterday
afternoon in Sparks of pneumonia
at a time when it was thought
here that he was on the road to
recovery and when the last thing
expected was news of his death.
He was state secretary of the
Knights of Columbus and a past
grand knight of the Goldfield
council.
He was born 80 years ago in
Aspen, Colo, and, starting in the
printing business while attending
the Aspen high-school, of which he
was a graduate, he followed it un-
til he left here less than three
weeks ago. He came to Goldfield
in the early days and every news
paper man in the history of the
town knew him and he often told
interesting stories of his expert
ences while working on the early
day publications. He was a men,
Der of the Reno pressman's union.
He had a legion of friends in all
walks of life, not only in Gold
field, but in many other parts of
the state.
An outstanding feature of his
character was his ability to make
and retain friends and he was
never known to lose one. An in
veterste reader of good literature.
witty and with an almost uncanny
Eaemory for names, facts and Zig ,
ures, he was an entertaining con-
versationalist, and to this in large
was due his ability to
make friends rapidly.
With a smile and a pleasant
word for everyone and seeing some
good in the worst of men, he went
through his short life and, while
he gained neither fame nor fortune,
it can be said of him that he made
the world a better place to live in,
something that cannot be said of
many men who have gained both.
In a business in which there is
little opportunity for advancement
and realizing it, he left here and
entered the employ of the South
ern Pacific at Sparks and his
friends we're confident that he
would prosper, but death cut short
his career.
He is survived by his parents,
two sisters and his brother, Ed
more Daley, now in the army at
Fort Riley, Kansas. His parents
and both sisters were with him
when he died.
The funeral will be held in
Sparks on Monday. Edmore Daley
is en- route to Reno from Fort
Riley.

VICTORY OVER HUN

Goldfield celebrated the final
victory of the armies of the allies
and of America and the dawn of
peace yesterday with blowing of
whistles, ringing of bells and a
long parade in the afternoon.
Through many weary days, long
before America entered the world,
Goldfield had watched the progress
of events on the variouss fronts
with interest and no oue will ever
forget the dark days when the
powerful machine of the Germans
tore great gaps in the allied line
and the cause appeared lost. AL
ways the allies held the great, but
clumsy machine, which struck
hard, but at long intervals. and
there finally came the day when at
Chateau Thierry it was seen that a
new force had come to the aid Of
the sorely-tried allied nations and
the tide was turned and the wave
that started receding that day new
er stopped until 1t backed the
Huns against the French frontier
and made of the kaiser a fugitive.
Goldfield celebrated not only
the coming of peace, but the COM
ing of a peace won on the field of
battle.
Every business house in the
town was closed for the occasion
and the parade, starting from the
court house and led by the Ameri-
can and allied flags, the Home
Guard, the Eagles drum corps,
Red Cross, Junior Red Cross and
Boy Scouts, marched through the
business district. 1t was the long
est parade and surely the most en-
thusiatic gathering here since the
start of the war.
The news that the armistice had
been signed, anxiously awaited,
was received by the Tribune early
in the morning, coming owe the
Nevada-California Power company's
telephone line from Silver Peak, as
owing to illness Of the manager
and operator, the Western Union
office was not yet open.
