CHAPTER xIx-Continued.

The game is honest and quite en-
Joyable. Sometimes you have fourteen
numbers on your card covered and
you are waiting for the fifteenth to be
called. In an imploring voice you call
out, Come on, Watkins, chum, I'm
sweating on 'Kelly's Eye"
Watkins generally replies, swell,
keep out of a draft, you'll catch cold"
Another game is ''Pontoon," played
with cards; it is the same as our
"'Black Jack" or "Twenty-one."
A card game called "Brag" is also
popular. Using casino deck, the
dealer deals each player three cards.
1t is similar to our poker, except for
the fact that you only use three cards
and cannot draw. The deck is never
shuffled until man shows three of
kind or "prile" as it is called. The
value of the hands are, high card,
pair, run, a flush or three of a kind
or "prile." The limit is generally a
penny, so it is hard to win fortune.
The next in popularity Is a card
game called "Nap." 1t is we'll named.
Every time played it I went to sleep.
Whist and solo whist are played by
the highbrows of the company.
When the gamblers tire of all other
games they try Banker and Broker"
spent a week trying to teach some
of the Tommies how to play poker, but
because l won thirty-five francs they
declared that they didn't "fawncy" the
game.
Tommy plays few card games; the
general run never heard Of poker, eu-
chre. seven up, or pinochle. They have
game similar to pinOchle called
"Royal Bezique," but few know how to
play It.
Generally there are two decks OF
cards in a section, and in short time
they are so dOg-eared and greasy, you
can hardly tell the ace Of spades from
the ace of hearts. The owners of these
decks sometimes cOndescend to lend
them after much coaxing.

Five long, wooden muffiers aided in

GOTHAM "TERRORIZED" BY AMERICAN BALLOON

NEW YORK: New Workers who happened to be gazing heavenward one evening stopped. rubbed their eyes and then thought of horritying stories they had read of Zeppelin raids on London. Floating majestically ov- CT their heads was a huge cigar-shap- ed dirigible balloon at least 200 feet long.
 Flights of airplanes over the city have become so common they fail to cause thrills. but this monster of the air was something entirely Lew. Close inspection disclosed that it flew an American flag, but there were pessi- mists who maintained this mignt be merely German camouflage to allay suspicion.
 The dirigible first appeared over South Brooklyn. then over down town New York, and finally over Gov ernor's Island. Investigation brough, the information that it was on trial flight from the new fort at Rockaway Point and that it had returned safely It carried a crew of eight men. At

SENATE TO GIVE ITS
 VIEWS ON PEACE

WASHINGTON: After Senator Ow- en had introduced a resolution to put the senate's position, Chairman Stone President Wilson's fourteen princi- ples for world peace and Senator Bor- ah had introduced another to record thesenate's position. Chairman Stone of the foreign relations committee, announced the committee would soon meet to agree on a composite draft of the senate's views.
 Speaking in support of his resolu- tiou, Senator Owen declared that congress should on its own motion declare the opinion of the American people in regard to this war and sup port the president in his message of January 8 and state the conditions upon which world peace could be es- tablished.'
 Senator Borah's resolution de- nounces secret diplomacy" and pro- vides that the national political and economic rights of small and subject nationalities be revered and consid- cred.
 "The coming peace Is not to be H. lusory and must be inspired by jus tice alone" that complete restitution be made for all private property des- troyed and full reparation for all damage done. The resolution also provides that the nations that have declared themselves champions of world democracy and of the liberties of small and subject nations make their position clear to the world by pledging themselves to favor the ad. ministration of separate deliberative representatives of all nationalities in- to the peace conference"

 In Chicago. where the stock yards are at home, one of the worlds com mercial phenomena and more famous than the Pyramids, I don't hear them mentioned once a year.

RUssIA's ARMY IS

PETROGRAD: Major General Bonch- Bruevitch. chief of stan of the Russian front paints a gloomy pie ture of the condition of the Russian armies in report to Ensign Krylenko the commander in chief. The officers are inexperienced and the mainten- ance of discipline is impossible. The only possible salvation for the army. the only chance for offering an ef- fective resistance. he declares, is for the various sections of the army to fall back to their natural defenses and undergo thorough reorganlza- | tiof of the units under trained lead CTS.
 Many parts of the western front are entirely open, the general reports, at numerous places. there being only 24O infantrymen to the mile. The re
 serves are refusing to relieve the men in the trenches and the soldiers are
 deserting in masses. Communications
 are broken and few horses are avail
 able. The wire entanglements have
 been destroyed to facilitate fratern-
 izing and the exchange of commodit- | ies with the German army.

CORPORATION SHAREHOLDERS
 WILL VISIT COMPANY PLANT

The shareholders of the Arizona Ore Reduction company, to the number of 9 or more, will arrive in special car from Los Angeles next Tuesday for the purpose of looking over the mine and mill of the company at Chloride. It $ understood that the visitors will be met here by a group of Kingman business men and that many expect to 90 to Chloride with them.
 The Arizona Ore Reduction company is the owner of the Copper Age mines, said to be among the best in the Chloride camp. Recently a large milling plant was erected for the treat ment of the ores and a number of test runs were made that were entire ly satisfactory. Further development is teing carried on in the mines for the purpose of making an outlet to the mill for the ores through the long tun- mel. The tunnel has been in ore for a long time and large bodies have been opened. A track has been laid from the tunnel adit to the mill and the ore will be carried over this route from the stOpes.
 The ore found in the mine is said to be exceptionally rich in milling values, and as soon as the connection is made and enough ores broken in the stopes to insure long run the big milling plant will be put in commission.
 It IS understood that banquet will be given in Kingman on the evening of Tuesday by the business men of the town to the visiting gentlemen.

AFTER THE WAR

Willie Randolph Hearst has chal- lenged Teddy Roosevelt to joint de- abte1 after the war. Why not make 1t after reincarnation, because both men might appear in their true form and not be able to understand each other? Hearst will not be in shape to deabt( with Teddy after the war, we opine, because he will be residing in the domain of the kaiser, while Teddy well, he ought to be there, too, unless he gets in and bucks up as well as his sons.
 We believe, as does Secretary Lan- sing, that every man who is not true to the United States should be deport- ed to the country he is now expressing preference for, and in that case there will be a cleaning out of the Hearst regime, and the United States will be bloody well rid of them.

BADLY IN NEED
 OF PRESS AGENT

The federal food administration of Arizona needs a press agent badly to properly put out to the press of the state matters concerning publicity of the food situat;en. The present pub licity man writes many columns of stuff that is nulified before the article is complete. Take for instance the statement that is released on receipt and which deals with what it terms the revocation of the 70 per cent rule limiting the sale of wheat by millers, wholesalers and jobbers, and which in no particular revokes the old order. It goes on to say that it is problem atical whether the bounteous harvest will justify a change in the limit of six pounds to the person per month.
 If that is true why the furOre over the revocation of the order that is not revoked? Why not let the matter ride until there is a real revocation of the order without all the hollow. It is time to revoke when the necessity of re- vocation arises, and it will not take reams of paper to put tho order into effect. Common sense is the necessary basis of a publicity man in this de- partment, and no matter what the food administration at Washington may wire the state administration it IS only for his information and not to be rehashed in senseless promulgation.
