AMERICAN NAVAL BASE IN
FRANCE, Oct. %. = The latest
convoy of American transports ar
rived at noon today, and it was an
Inspiring scene to sec this process
sion under the bright midday sun,
with a stiff breeze whipping the
flags, the decks crowded with
American soldiers and the piers and
castle walls black with cheering
people, as the fleet moved majestic
ally past the capes to the sheltered
inside harbor. Often the entrance
is under of darkness to cheat
the submarines which have appear
ed of late off the harbor mouth.
But the entrance today was in broad
daylight so that the whole city had
a chance to turn out and see the
sight.
1t was just 11:40 when the first
destroyer was seen on the silvery
water out between the capes. At
that distance, three miles, it looked
like a speck as it turned the capes,
leaving a thread of smoke behind.
This was the scout ship, far
ahead. plotting the way and on the
lookout for any danger along the
path. 1t came straight into the
harbor, it's work done, while the
main fleet, keeping compactly to-
gether, began to file between the
capes.
Ahead was a large destroyer with
four stacks, and behind it on either
flank two other four-stackers. This
was the forward protecting barrage
of d~estroyers in a great arc.
Now a huge prov pushed out be-
yond the white cliff of the cape
and grew gradually. towering decks,
tunnels belching smoke, and then
the mammoth hull of a 20, OOO-ton
transport, formerly a German trans
Atlantic liner. Soon another APP

loft to the right of the big ships
was a line of destroyers, the star
board barrage. and to the left an
other line. the port barrage, and
astern al another line of destroy
ers forming the ear barage. Thus
enveloped. the big ships passed into
the anchorage, the d%estroyers drew
eff to their buoys and soon lighters
were alongside bearing ashore this
new consignment of many thousand
American troops.
1t is a scene oft repeated now day
after day and night after night, but
often as it is. it is always a stirring
sight. and one which makes the
blood Jingle as these thousands of
fighting men pour out of the west.

CHARLES F. MAUStR
DIES OF influenza
In SAN FRAN CISCO

Charles F. Mauser. n of tho
most widely known men in Cold
field and a prominent member of
the Elks and Odd Fellows, died at
5 p. m. yesterday in San Francisco
of pneumonia FOLLOWING an attack
of Spanish influenza.
Mauser left Goldfield a short
time ago to enlist in the army, but
shortly after he went to San Fran
cisco enlistment was closed and,
after he had made many efforts, his
application was finally rejected di-
rect from Washington. He then
accepted a position as claim adjust
er in the office of E. Hickman, au-
ditor of miscellaneous accounts for
the Southern Pacific railroad and
held that position until his death.
He became ill last Saturday, but
thought little of it. On Tuesday
his condition was much worse and
at that time Speed Barnes and
Charles Mullen, who lived with him,
were unable to secur medical at
tention for him or to place him in
a hospital. On Thursday a tele-
gram was received by the Goldfield
lodge of Elks that he was getting
the best of attention, but from
then a series of kilograms told of
the seriousness of his condition and
during the past few days it was
feared that death would result.
William F. Mauser was born in
South Bethlahem, Pa, and was 80
years of age. He started in the
railroad business in the office of
the freight claim agent for the Le-
high Valley railroad in Bethlehem
in 1897 and remained there until
1908, when he was brought to To-
nopah by R. s. Titlow, auditor for
the Tonopah & Goldfield railroad.
He was employed in Mr.. Titlow's
office as freight claim adjustor and
held the position of chief clerk
when he left here, having been pro-
NOTED to that position in 1912.
His parents are dead. He has
two older sisters and three brothers,
all living in Bethlehem.
The funeral vas held this after
noon in San Francisco, interment
being in the Elks' cemetery.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
IN THE FIELD, Oct. rs. = All the
comforts of home, with some added
Injuries, were found in the dugouts
and living quarters which the Ger
mans we're forced to abandon when
the American troops smashed
through the st. Mihiel salient and
took the territory which the Ger.
man army had occupied for four
years.
Running water, electric light,
s;eam heat, tennis courts, bowling
alleys, swimming pools, pianos and.
wine cellars were some of the up
tc-Jate conveniences which Uncle
Sans "moppers-up' that followed
on the heels of the rushing Ameri-
can soldiers found in some of the
quarters of the German officers.
The more elaborate quarters we're
located in the thickly-set woods
which abound in this part Of
France, and most of them repre-
sented the work of four years. The
majority of them were of elaborate
rustic construction and usually had
shell-proof shelters connected with
them. Furniture and decorations
taken from the French inhabitants
of neighboring villages formed the
principal interior equipment.
One of the most unique of these
officers quarters was located in the
little village of Euvezin, about 20
miles from Metz. There were two
tiers of rooms with broad balconies
in front and all lighted by electric
ity. In the lower floor was an
elaborate sitting room, containing
richly upholstered furniture, a pi-
ano, oil paintings, inlaid tables and
beveled mirrors. This apparently
was the headquarters of a big of
ficer, for in it were found many
maps, plans and a telephone switch
board. Outside was a bowling alley
and a small swimming pool.
At one side was a wine cellar
well stocked with apple wine, beer
and other beverages dear TO the
German heart. Immediately adj
Joining was a s%hell-proof dugout, 40
feet deep and capable of holding 60
e Next to this was a shoemak-
er's hut, where a number of wo-
mems shoes and slippers were
found, indicating that the Germans
had women in their trenches. High
err up in the woods was d vegetable
farm. and overlooking all is an OBJ
servatOry, which gave a surprising
view of the country for miles
around.
Everything was confusion. Uni
forms. rifles, pots, dishes, books
and all kinds of military parapher-
MALTA were heaped about everywhere,
indicating that the Germans had
fled in great haste.
That the Germans expected to oc-
cupy this territory for a long time
is indicated by the character of
their trenches. In many cases these
were of concrete and equipped with
almost as many conveniences as a
dwelling house. Some of them had
running water, telephone commune
cation. heating stoves and piped
drainage.

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early light,
What SO proudly we hailed at the twilights last
cleaning,
Whose stripes and bright stars, through the peril
Gus fight,
Ger the ramparts we watched, were so CALAMITY
streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in
air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was
still there!
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner vet wave
Der the land of the free and the home of the
brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the
deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread silence re-
What is that which the breeze, DER the towering
steep
AS it fitfuly blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the CLEAN of the mornings first
beam
In full glory reflected. now shines in the stream.
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave.
Ger the land of the free and the home of the
brave?
And where is that band wto so vauntingly swore.
Mid the havoc of war and the battles confusion,
A home and a country they'd leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps
pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the
grave;
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth
Der the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh. thus be it ever. when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the wars desola-
ton;
Blest with victry and peace, may the heaven-res-
cued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us
a nation.
Then conquer we must. when our cause it is iust.
And this be our motto, "In God Is Our Trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall
wave
Der the land of the free and the home of the
bravei

SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Dec. 1.-THE market
opened to one of the severest re-
verses of the month today and prices
were forced to practically the mini
mum possible under the government
regulation.
Much of the falling off was due to
the liberal receipts and a lack of
opening for the entire supply, but the
fact that Chicago and Omaha took
off yesterday while Sioux City held
firm was perhaps the leading factor.
Packers were in the deal from the
opening and succeeded in buying
hogs at practically their own figures,
as the shipping needs were not
strongly in evidence.
With today's decline hogs not only
fell to the lowest level since the gov
eminent regulation was applied, but
it fell to practically the limit pos
sible.
In general the market vas quoted
Is q zoe lower than yesterday. Top
hogs sold at $3.50, and the bulk of
sales was made at $500 Oils.

CONCLUDES WORK
STATE EXEMPTION BOARD HAN.
DIES A LARGE AMOUNT
OF BUSINESS.

Sioux Falls, Dec. 12.-The exemp-
ton board of South Dakota, which
had charge of selective draft matters
for the entire state, now has gone
out of existence, the affairs of the
board having been closed up and the
headquarters in Sioux Falls aban-
doned.
The board was organized at Pierre
in August, 1917, and in October,
1917, the headquarters of the board
were moved to Sioux Falls. The
board during it's existence transacted
a large amount of business and was
in almost continuous session from
January / last up to the time of the
signing of the armistice.
The district board acted upon a to-
tai of 500 appeals of %selective draft
men from county boards and of this
number 274 of those who appealed
were held for military service. The
war collapsed before all the 18-year-
old registrants had returned their
missionaries to the county boards,
the result being that only 342 such
registrants reached the district board
with claims for deferred classified
ton. Local or county boards will
complete the classification of such of
these as claim deferment.
None of the registrants between
the ages of 81 and As were consider
ed by the district board. Quite a few
questionnaires of this class of regis
trants were on file when the district
board went out of business, but all
were returned without any action be-
ing taken.
1t is believed the district board OF
Sruth Dakota is the first district
board in the United States to COM
plete it's classification.
In addition to the 40,280 ques-
tionnaires considered by the district
board this year, last year the district
board passed on 4,121 claims for dis
charge under the first draft. Under
that draft the board certified 1886
men for service, although the net
quota required was 2,715.

RESULT, TWO MEN ARRESTED
WITH CONTRABAND
BOOZE.

Lead, Dec. 12.-Charles and Peter
Toilette, brothers, were arrested by
the local police on the charge Of
transporting liquor into South Da-
kota. A broken whisky bottle in a
trunk which they were bringing from
Great Falls, Mont, and the leaking
of the liquor from the trunk led to
their arrest. The trunk, still leaking
booze, was unloaded at the Burling-
ton railway depot. There the con-
tents were examined by the chief of
police and the arrest of the two de-
PENDANTS soon followed. In the trunk
was found 20 bottles of whisky, and
in grips belonging to the two men an
additional "a quarts of whisky was
found. The liquor was confiscated.
Charles Toilette had recently sold a
saloon business at Great Falls for
SIT. 900 and had intended locating in

This being true, it is easy to be-

In addressing you in this matter, l

on public matters.
l wonder if you are realizing the
fact that a man in the performance
of a single deed is setting a beginning
o fan endless chain of causes and eff
fects. Let me illustrate. A single
contribution to the funds of the
American Red Cross causes these to
increase. Here is the first cause with
it's effect, but the effect at once be-
comes a cause itself as the increased
fund makes the purchase of a great
er amount of materials possible.
Again the greater purchases places
the American Red Cross in a posi-
ton to render more help to our thou
sands and thousands of soldiers and
sailors as well rs to equally as many
or even more civilians who are in
need. Now if you please, you may
spin this out and point out the hap
piness or gratitude which is caused
by the help rendered by the Ameri-
can Red Cross. The apparent lesson
which this example is teaching is this
that when in some of the next days
the canvassers of the Red Cross come
to see us we must realize that a dou-
BILE or two-fold or ten-fold contribu-
ton works better effects than a sim
gle one, and that since we intend to
do something we might just as well
do it well. Respectfully. G..
