several weeks with friends, a Leban-
non correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press says. He was formerly a War

by older residents.

widow in Iowa by the name of Sarah

TRADES UNIONS PROMOTE
SALES OF WAR SAVINGS s

The Reno Trades and Labor coun-
Gil, and the Washoe County Building
Trades council have each instructed
all delegates to bring before each
union as special order of business
the matter of setting aside a 'revolv-
ing fund" for the purchase and sale
OF war savings stamps. At each meet
ing of the unions, the treasurer is
instructed to offer thrift stamps and
war savings stamps to members. A
fund of SIS or $50, carried as cash
OF the accounts of the unions, is
sufficient for all purposes; the stamps
being replenished from time to time

need BIG HERDS
EurOpe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their tlOCkS and
herds in order to meet Europe's ire
mendOus demands for meats during
the war and probably for. many years
afterWard
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown disposition to
cooperate with the government in In
creasing the nations supply of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9th
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory approximately 100000
heud-were driven behind the German
lines
But in England-where 100000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain telds-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
| reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
| English as follows: For September,
| $lT16 per 100 pounds; October, ST. ;
November and December, $l60S; Jan
| larry, $l440. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
| ket AS soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
we'll as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war
Where France had l4,S07 200 head OF
cattle in 1913, she now has only T..
341 900, decrease of 1865 per cent
! And France Is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war
Denmark and Holland have beer
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed
Close study of the European mea
situation has convinced the Food AID
mnistration that the future problem
of America lies largely In the produc
ton of meat producing animals ant
dairy products rather than in the pro
duction of cereals for export wheI
the war will have ceased.

RIFLE FIRE OF AMERICANS |S
 HUN SURPRISE

PARIS, Sept. l1,-The effect of American rifle fire has been one of the great surprises to the enemy dur. ing the recent engagements along the front. As a result the rife is fast coming back to it's own as the de- pendablc weapon for infantry fighting For time its place was challenged by the hand grenade, and some Of the English and French experts took the view that the grenade would gradu- ally supersede the rifle Trench war fare had accustomed both sides to the grenade. so that the rife was sel- dom brought into use
 Even with the two weapons avail. able. the troops had become accus- toned 10 use the grenade rather than the rife, and an enemy fugitive would often be chased until his pursucr was near enough to throw a grenade when rifle ball would have brought down the fugitive from distance
 All this has been changed. however. by the open fighting of the present offensive and the unusually effective use the Americans have made of the rife. General pershng has main tained from the first that the rifle was the indispensable weapon for infan- try, and while the grenade has not heen neglected. every American unit has been thoroughly trained in rife practice
 Many of the national guardsmen. as well as the regulars. were crack rife shots. winners in tournaments and veterans of the rifle ranges maintained at home. These ranges have become q notable feature of the training on this side, until the whole American organization has become specially pro fiCient with the rife.
 German prisoners all recount the same story, that the greatest surprise came from the impetuosity ot the American troops. and after that that the sweeping fire of the American rife caused the greatest Consterna- ton and loss. Accustomed to wait ing for a grenade attack at close quar- tcrs, the mass formation of the enemy were suddenly exposed to concen- trated rifle fire at a distance, with every shot from a trained marksman who was not blazing into the air but was picking out his target and send ing his ball home
 This experience has fully sustained the American contention for the rife aa against the grenade, and French and English military experts are agreed in the enthusiastic approval they give the Americans as ritemen, and in the view that the rife has again demonstrated it's right to be con. sdered the paramount weapon for in iantry fighting.

lDlted states, to send an army into Siberia.
 Then suddenly the United States Pnnounced her intention of dispatch ing troops to Nladivostok. not in the sense Of intervention, but to help the tZecho-Slovaks, and simultaneously suggested that Japan send d number of troops.
 Many people in Japan felt that if military action came in Siberia Japan would receive the mandate Of the powers to act for them. and that Jap. ancse troops would chiefly make up the expedition, other nations merely sending contingents to give the move. mcnt an inter-allied tone. The Amcri- can initiative, therefore. took Japan by surprise.
 As representative put il: "Thc idea of Japan being placed on par with an occidental power in an cX- petition intended for a spot lying. as it were, at our very door, was Cer- tainly not pleasant to the Japanese, who believe that of all powers of the world Japan is most vitally inter. osted in the fate of Eastern Siberia.
 Such was the first impression ere. ated by the American note, but fur nm i,, Lal t. convinced the Japanese that the United States initiative was in no expedition was therefore accepted in principle. but a great controversy was pan herself should not interyc enc in Siberia for the protection of her na- tjonal interests.
 The military party is believed to have been distinctly in favor of inter of the general staff of the army. of Marshals Prince Yamagata, and. to '' lil' 'Nt'iIAr VI All' tdblI1't, IlltIl lN presided over by the premier. Mar shal Count TeuraChi.
 Lengthy discussions ensued be- tween ministers of state. the members Of the recently appointed diplomatic advisory council. and also the leaders Cf the political parties who were called in for consultation.
 The rejection of general interven- ton at this time may be ascribcd, first. to the growing influence of the business interests who favor complete cooperation with the United States in Japan's own interest: second. to the opposition Of the political parties V hose backing was necessary in Ob- taininG necessary diet appropriations, and third, to the decision of leaders generally that Japan should move slowly and above all things. work hand in hand with the United States.
 Linked with these considerations was the hesitancy of the political groups to support a military pro gram which would insure indefinite life for the present cabnet. The Te. rauch ministry is officially welded to no party, and the political parties in Japan are striving for a constitutional regime Of party cabinets. with a con sequent increase of power in the house of representatives, as the body representing the voters. The defeat of the interventionists is regarded in some quarters. therefore, as a victory for constitutional progress, an incl dentally as d blow to the influence of the elder statesmen, long time power full in deciding the destinies of the empire.
