STUDENTS ENROLL
FOR SCHOOL
OPENING
TENT BOOKS BE RE-
TURNED

High-school students have been
registering each day from 2 to 4
D. m. at the high-school building,
and a number of pupils of each
class have already enrolled. Super
intendent McKeown will be in his
office daily at the above hours un-
til school opens and will be glad to
register any of the students who
are in Goldfield and who intend to
enroll when school opens.
1t is an advantage to both the
pupil and the school to register
early. More time a be given to
each individual student to consult
with him regarding the course of
study to be pursued for the year,
and the subjects to be taken.
He will also have time to talk
these matters over with his parents
before he actually begins work.
Having decided upon his program
of courses, he can make arrange
ments to purchase second-han text
books from pupils that have left
school or who have finished the
texts, and desire to dispose of them.
In that way he will have his books
as soon as school opens and will
have been able to purchase them at
a low cost to himself.
Pupils who will not return to
school, or pupils who have finished
texts and have no further use for
them and are unable to negotiate
sales directly themselves, may set a
price on them and bring them to the
school to be sold.
The following are some of the
text books that will be used next
year:
First year high-English, Clip
pinger, Composition and Rhetoric;
Latin, Smiths Latin Lessons; math-
ematics, Hawkes., Luby & Touton's
First Course in Algebra; science,

RECORD MADE
BY ARMY IN
DEBARK|NG
U.S.MEN
HOITR AFTER HOUR AMERICANS
MARCH TROUGH FRENCH
TOWNS

AMERICAN PORT, WESTERN
FRANCE, Aug. %. = Long lines of
kahki-clad men just disembarked
from American transports. and now
on the way to their first camp,
packed the streets from curb to
curb and stretched away for miles.
1t was four miles and up hill most
of the way, through city, suburbs
and country lanes, from the sea-
front to the great reception camp
located outside the town, one of the
largest camps in the world and
capable of caring for the population
of a metropolitan city.
Hour after hour from six this
morning until late this afternoon
the steady tramp of marching thou
sands had been going o. for this
steady stream is the army of $4,000
Just arrived on 10 American trans
ports, making the record debark-
ment from ship to camp within IL
hours.
With Major X, the engineer Off
Ger of the camp. we skirted along
side this moving stream, from the
landing to the camp, and had an
opportunity of seeing each stage in
the huge movement up to the time
the tired marchers pitched their
.hoI%1. ta1fc an %hn CnoEod grounds
and crawled inside to sleep.
Stirring as it was to see these
men come to swell the American
ranks, yet there was a grimness
and grayness to the scene suggest
ing the stern reality of war.
A steady downpour swept across
the ranks and the men were drip
ping as they trudged through, the
rain-soaked mud.
They we're at route step, without
the regularity of %parading troops,
and each carried, beside his rifle,
all his belongings on his back, 70
pounds of tent, blankets, clothing,
shoes and all the miscellaneous
equipment of a soldier headed for
the front. Their last camp was in
the well-equipped cantonments in
the United States, where they slept
on cots and had a semblance of
modern comfort.
Now they were on the war-swept
soil of France and had seen the last
of cots and comforts. 1t was their
first glimpse of real wal conditions,
and anyone who says it is cheerful
shuts his eyes to the grimness of
war.
There are more troops coming"
said the major as he led the way,
than the total strength of the Unit
ed States army a short time ago.
And with such an influx we have to
provide a very elastic camp, capable
of immediate expansion from 1000
up to 100000 men,"
The major was we'll qualified to
explain the magnitude of the work,
for he had been chief constructing
engineer of the New York subway
system, had planned and built a
good part of the system and had
made the population figures on
which subway construction was
based.

week. AS in past weeks, the bulk
of the work is being done in the
Victor portion of the mine, where
an aggregate distance of 143 feet
was added to the various develop
ment and exploration workings on
the 154O-foot intermediate and the
16S0-foot main levels. In the No.
two shaft section of the mine, the
footage amounted to sc, and the
total for the whole mine was 209,
a very close approach to the preced-
ing weeks figures, when PA feet
of underground work was per-
formed.
North Star
The systematic course of develop
ment which has been under way at
the North Star mine is beginning to
produce results in a most encourag-
ing character. The minor prospect
ing which was mentioned in last
weeks report as being continued on
the S50-foot level, is engaged in de-
veloping a small streak of high
grade ore, and it is reported that all
the conditions are so satisfactory
that there is every hope that the
discovery of quite an orebody is we'll
within the realms of possibility.
West End
The West End Consolidated Min
ing company, as a result of the
first cleanup in August at it's mill
in Tonopah produced FL bars of
gold and silver bullion, whose total
weight was 41,967 ounces. At the
prevailing prices paid for silver, the
metal content of the bars is worth
approximately $50,36O.40.
While the first cleanup of August
is considerably less than the previ-
Gus one reported, which showed a
valuation of $71,469, it is almost on
a par with the first cleanup of the
preceding month, when % bars of
gold-silver bullion, valued at $751;
1913, constituted the yield of the
mill run and melt for that period.
The final cleanups at each of the
Tonopah mills are invariably heav-
Ter than the first cleanups.
Belmont
During the past week the Tono-
pah Belmont company shipped to
the smelters As bars of gold and
silver bullion, having a weight of
93,457 ounces, and 80 tons of con-
centrates. The bullion is estimated
to have a worth of approximately
$112,14S.40, and the concentrates
$4,000, making the entire ship
ment valued at about $12S.14S.40.
Rumors have been current in To-
nopah lately that the small auxiliary
mill constructed by the Belmont
company for the treatment of the
"~sweepings" from the tailings ponds
of the Tonopah companies is about
to be started up again. There are
large quantities of sweepings OF
hand at the various tailings ponds
at Tonopah and Millers, awaiting
treatment.

TANKS OF BRITISH
STOP GERMAN FIRE

LONDON, Aug. 2S. - British
tanks uprooted a whole French viii
lage to stop the fire of German ma
chine guns from the houses, in the
recent allied offensive.
The French troops had been seri-
ously hampered by the German ma
chine guns in or on the tops of the
houses. Tanks were in the vicinity
and a message was sem to them for
assistance.
These complied. but the German
machine guns were too we'll protect
ed to be knocked out by the fire
from the tank guns.
Accordingly the tank commanders
conferred at the far end of the viii
lage and decided to destroy the viii
lage by sheer weight of metal.

LIEUTENANT SAYS KILLED CAPTAIN
 FOR CR|T|C|S|NG
CBy Review Leased wIrel

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 3-A statement in which he described the fatal shooting of his superior officer. Capt. Abram Posner, was made in the county jail here tonight by It. Harry Perry, according to deputy sheriffs who earlier in the day had captured the officer at Palmdale, 60 miles north of here.
 Captain Posner died yesterday at Escondido, Cal. after making a state ment. in which he accused Lieuten- ant Perry of shooting him late Sunday night, as he fled from an automobile in which the lieutenant had asked him to ride from his home in San Diego to Camp Kearny.
 The deputy sheriffs quoted Lieuten- ant Perry as saying he shot Captain Posner because the latter found fault with him and his work. He was further quoted as saying fis original intention was to take Captain Posner to lonely spot and beat him, but the attempt of the captain to escape up set his plan.
 Tonight Lieutenant Perry was turn ed over to military officers from Camp Kearney and civil authorities from San Diego who left with their prisoner in an automobile and expected 10 reach San Diego early tomorrow morn ing

FULL PARDON IS
 GIVEN BY WILSON
cnv Review Leased wirel


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Lt Col. L. c. Vincent and George w. MiXter, army officers named by Charles E. Hughes in his report on the aircraft investigation as having been guilty of transacting business with private con- cePhs in which they were financially interested, have been pardoned by President Wilson.
 This announcement was made to- night at the White House:
 Tt was announced at the executive office today that the president had pardoned It. Col George w. Mixter and Ut Col. J. G. Vincent, whom the recent report on aircraft production showed to be technically guilty be- cause of breach of statutes, be- cause he entirely concurs in the views of the attorney general with regard to these two cases. He believes that the two gentlemen concerned were entire ly innocent of any improper or selfish intentions. that their guilt was only technical. and that their services 10 the government, which have been of the highest value and of the most dis interested sort, deserve most cordial recognition"
 No action against Colonel Vincent or Colonel MiXter has been taken by the department of justice and the granting of full pardons to them was recommended to the president by At torney General Gregory, who took up their cases in separate letters to the president These letters were made public tonight.
 Colonel Vincent was vice-president of the Packard Motor Car company and was one Of the designers of the Liberty motor. The authorities auth orized Mir. Vincent to build required number of models and experimental motors and he directed his company to do the work under his supervision, said Mir. Gregory's letter to the presi- dent. Later, during the progress Of the work, he was commissioned in the

signal corps, reSlgnlng as an officer of the Packard company but retaining the ownership of his stock. His Of- fense is that he acted for the govern ment in connection with settling the compensation to be paid the Packard company for this work There is no evidence that he did not act in entire good faith, or that any advantage was taken of the government. The produc- ton of the Liberty motor was one of the great achievements in connection with the war Colonel Vincent render ed invaluable services in designing and perfecting it
 NIT. Hughes report said Colonel Mixter owned 25 shares of stock of the Curtiss Airplane & Motor corpora tion valued at $2,50O. while he acted for the government in supervising in- spection and production at this com pany plant This was held by both MT. Hughes and Mir Gregory to vio- late the law.
 Lieutenant Colonel MiXter," said MT. Gregory's letter to the president, testified that he had formerly owned a small amount of both common and preferred too; that at the time he was commissioned he had sold the com mon stock and overlooked the fact that he still owned the preferred stocE. There is nothing in the evi- dence warranting the conclusion that Lieutenant Colonel Mixter did not act in entire good faith in the transac- tion referred to or indicating that he was influenced by his ownership of this preferred stock, which paid a fixed dividend.
 Lieutenant Colonel Mixter has per formed efficient service for the gov ernment and at a substantial sacri- flee"

BIC PROBLENSIOF |. PEACE3CONFRONT
 NEW REPUBLICS
Maintenance of Peace in Pe- riod Before Conference Is Difficult; What Congress Does Is Important

VIENNA, Thursday, Nov 2S (By
 the Associated Press) s).-Two big prob
 lens confront the republics which have arisen from the ruins of the Hapsburg empire. First, it is becom- | ing daily more difficult to maintain order within the republics until the peace conference, and, second, will the decision of the peace conference real
 ly solve the racial and commercial questions which are more urgent than 1 ever.
 Some observers here insist that it | is the duty of the United States, not only to scatter a few military officers | throughout the empire in the guise of missions. but also to send American citizens with blood ties in the former empire and speaking the various tongues for the purpose of undertak- ing propaganda to explain how Ameri- can politics are guided by reason and not by force and also that republics do not fight each other.
 The delegates of the German Aus trian government at the peace confer ence probably will endeavor to obtain permission to form some sort of con ference within the. limits of the old empire. They have dropped the plan of joining the erman federation since they feel that the allies are not will ing to permit this.
 The Danube federation has been al- tered somewhat As outlined now 1t would be purely economic arrange ment.
 It is explained that such fedora tion would have been formed before the war. had it not been for the Hun garian agricultural party which throt- tied agricultural commerce with Rum ania and Serbia, particularly Serbia. This caused agitation which played a large part in events leading to the assassination of Archduke- Francis Ferdinand.
 It is pointed out that such a fed eration is demanded by the interna! trade of the former empire, since Czecho- -Slovakia needs a morket for it's coal. iron, sugar. glass, leather, while German-Austria has industrial or ganization to use these raw products. Vienna is also a banking center. On the other hand the Hungarians and Jugo-Slavs will have foodstuffs to sell to the other republics.
 Some leading German-Austrians de- clare that the organization of such a federation should be settled at the peace congress because, they say. 1t would be impossible to secure an agreement among the republics If they were permitted to settle 1t among themselves. An American resident in Vienna says that one obstacle to an agreement between the new republics is that the populations are unwilling to forget things that happened cen tury or two ago. He says that the population of the former empire is no more mixed than are the European peoples who have gone to America.

 The administration tonight issued a statement interpreting the Lever act and pointing out that the law provides that "aIl rights or liabil- ities under this act arising before its termination, continue, and may be en- forced in the same manner as if the act had not terminated"
 Wheat growers in many parts of the country, it was said, have become apprehensive that the guaranteed price for the 1919 crop might be re scinded through the conclusion of peace.
