toward peace is seen here In the
speeches made yesterday IN Berlin and
Vienna by the German chancellor and
Austrian foreign minister, upon the
war aims of the central powers.
Formal comment will be withheld
until the texts are put out by AN au-
thOrized German agency. but after
reading press accounts of the speeches
officials expressed the opinion that
they We're framed largely for internal
consumption with the incidental pur-
pose to plant seeds of discord among
the allies by suggestions of separate
negotiations, and to appeal to the sym
pathies of the radical Socialis, ele-
ments in the enemy's countries.
Regarding the design to affect the
internal conditions of Germany and
Austria one official suggested that the
notes. the German being almost de-
family aggressive, and the Austrian
compromising and insinuatng, were
calculated precisely to meet the vary
ing conditions in the two empires. In
Germany, strengthened by the Russian
collapse resulting in the transfer OF
western front the militaristic party is

occupied when he assumed office. APP
parently voices the viii of the mill
tary leaders.
Austria Compromising.
In Austria. the working people are
reported in incipieDt rebellion and the
demands for peace at almost any price
are insistent and clamorous. This is the
explanation found here for the foreign
minister's vague promises of peace
without annexations or indemnities,
and his special bid for negotiations di-
rect from America.
IT is noted, however. that the
speeches are inter dependent: that
Austria will not negotiate without Ger
many's consent and approval, and that
Germany gives her sanction to what
has been done in America. Both
spokesmen express confidence in the
success Of the peace negotiations with
Russia in contrast tn the bitter denun-
citation of the conduct of the Teutons
by Leon TrotZky, the Bolsheyik min
lister for foreign affairs. This attl-
tude officials and diDlomatists believe
TO be the result Of apprehension that
the confession at this moment Of the
failure of the Brest -Litoysk nagotia-
tions would exasperate the German and
Austrian publics beyond the safety
point.
In some quarters there was "A dis
position To find a grain OF hope in the
concession by both speakers that there
were points In the utterances Of Lloyd
George and President Wilson tina,
might be acceptable to the Germanic
powers and afford the basis Of further
discussions. But other officials in
sisted that this was only another dem
onstration Of the truth of President
Wilson's statement in his address TO
congress. that IL vas the practice OF
German diplomacy TO misiead by de-
claring adherence to large principles

ed for Special Military Service
In College Courses

The Standard is in receipt OF q
letter from President Walter e.
Clark announcing the establishment
OF a Students Army Training at the
University of Nevada, beginning in
( September.
The main aim of this plan is to in
duce larger enrolment of young
men in the universities and to keep
them there until they are 81 years
of age, or until they have completed
their courses. The plan has the en-
doIsement OF Secretary of War Bak-
er VINO states that the purpose is to
provide for the very important needs
of the army for highly trained men
as officers, engineers, doctors, chem
lists and administrators OF every
kind.
Voluntary enlistment in this Corps
Is open to all able-bodied students
in the institutions of collegiate
grade who are not under 1S years of
age. Students under 1S cannot be
legally enlisted, but they may enroll
and thus receive military training
until they reach the age when they
can legally enlist
The boy who enlists in the Stu
dents Army Training Corps will be
a member of the army of the United
States. He will be provided by the
War Department with uniform and
equipment, but will be on furlough
status and will not receive pay. He
will undergo regular military train
ing as part of his course during
the college year will attend a six
weeks camp for rigid and intensive
military instructions with privates
pay, and will be subject to the call
of the President for active service
at any time, should the exigencies of
the military situation demand 1t.
The policy of the Government, how
ever, will be to keep members of this
Corps in college until their draft age
IS reached, and the War Department
will have the power TO order such
men to continue in college even aft
er their draft age is reached when
ever their work is such that the
needs OF the Service for specially
trained men to make that course ad-
visable.
The plan has the unqualified en-
dorsement of the President of the
United States and members of his
cabinet, as we'll as by the Governors
of States, councils of defense and
leading educators everywhere, who
are unanimous in urging young men
to take advantage of this opportuni-
ty to acquire technical education
with military training to enable
them to serve their country In what
ever capacity they may be best fitted
and prepare themselves for higher
places of leadership after the war.

selection of one of its capable citi-
zens to serve the government in an

manager OF the county telephone

ty for six years and has been a resi-
dent of the state for over eighteen
years. The work of organizing the
state under his direction in coopera-
ton with the state committee and
the community labor boards will be
started at once. Nevada has been
asked TO supply $40 men during
August and September for produc-
tive Industries and the work will
be carried out at once.
Mr.. Coniff states that his duties
Will require a visit to practically ev-
cry labor center in the State and
that his task will be to equalize lab

the man to the job, as it were. He
will enroll and enlist men for vari-
Gus occupations required by the
government in its war work, as we'll
as having general supervision of
labor in all other productive enter
prises.
He will not resign as telephone
manager for the present, but will
select an assistant who will conduct
the affairs of the Office under his
bond, thus avoiding the necessity of
advertising for bids by the Board of
Commissioners for the few months
left of this year.

fed therein who have, since the fifth

Last night in the High School
auditorium was held the first re-
hearsals of the musical part of the

grams for the two evenings are rich
In promise of excellent music, and
novelty features combined with
minstrelsy that will be of class
outside the realms of amateurs.
w. X. Davis is assembling a large
chorus that will be composed of
well trained voices and with the ad-
dition of several soloists whose voic-
es have been often heard here to the
delight of many the two nights of
indoor entertainment will attract

of the large hall.
w. A. VanVoOrhis, business man
ager of the musical features will
have on sale in a few days reserved
seats for the two performances and
will also undertake the decoration
of the stage and hall.
4. W. Kammerer has charge of
the costumes for the Mardi Gras, to

to have on display number of mod
els of variety appropriate for such
a fete.
The Green Head Club voted at its
last meeting to arrange a booth and

J. w. VANNOY WRITES OF
CONDITIONS IN THE f..


The Standard is in receipt of a
letter from j. w. Vannoy, who in
company with his wife and :, Fred
Waidley and family, left Fallon a
couple of months ago ON an auto
tour across the country calculated to
extend as far as the Atlantic coast
should fancy dictate.
Mr. Vannoy writes from Omaha,
Neb., and says that after travelling
through Utah, Colorado, Kansas, and
Nebraska his observations of all
crops, vegetable. fruit and grain,
lead to the conviction that there will
be but about a half crop at best.
Some sections are very good but
others are practically a failure. At
the time he wrote the thermometer
stood 110 degrees in the shade with
hot winds blowing a gale.
The people of the East. Mr.. Van
noy says, are thoroughly imbued
with the war spirit and nothing else
is thought of or talked about. The
impression upon the visitor is that
they are willing to sacrifice every
thing, including all pleasures in a
determination to win the war. Food
regulations are strictly enforced and
the people eat--not what they want,
but what they are told to eat and
confess that they like It, Prohibi-
tion is popular in the two dry states
of Kansas and Nebraska, and, ac-
cording to Mr.. Vannoy, sit would be
safer to talk in favor of the Kaiser
than for saloons and booze-you

Washington, Nov. T.
"The taking of Sedan by
American troops is a great
military achievement" Sec
retary Baker said today
when informed that detach-
meuts of Lieutenant Gener-
al Liggett's first army had
entered the historic French
city.
"The news of the taking
of Sedan is very good
news" said Mr.. Baker.
1T is a great military
achievement. At our last
report the Americans were

five or six miles from Sedan,

try along the western front,

The advance of Per-

mendous opposition and

vance, including the taking
