American Veteran
Dined at Capitol

Lieutenant Cooper, an American who
volunteered in the Canadian army three
years ago, spoke at the Capitol Cafe
today following a luncheon rendered
him by ~statehouse employees. He de-
clared that If the war stops now tina,
Germany would be the victors and
urged Americans to give their full sup
port to the Third Liberty loan as one
of the means of bringing the war near
er TO an end.
Germany has increased her man
power, has doubled her wealth and
made great gains in territory and
natural resources" he declared. "She
could well afford 10 make peace, II she
wa allowed to retain the territory in
the east she has conquered, But we
must fight on until the militaristic
spirit OF Germany is crushed"

II was because ~ this situation that
attacks were made last Friday by the
Germans. -Four more or less fresh d.

ton and a huge number Of guns were
brought into play especially oyer TIE

Prisoners captured by the British
when Ayette was taken Wednesday. say
that the casualties among the German
officers and n-eommissioned officers
have been very heavy since the begin

so bad regarding non-commissioned Of
fieers that the higher command has
been bringing back into the line those

British Have Air Superiority.
A German airplsnist just taken prls-
ner has proved most interesting. He
wa formerly a sehoolmaster. He said
that the British had more and better
airplanes than the Germans and that
this accounts for the fact that the Brit
ish aviators did far more work over
the enemy lines than the Germans did
He said the Germans could not run the
risk Of wasting machines In this sort
Of warfare.
The schoolmaster was convinced
firmly that the war would end this year

implied that he thought the Germans
would wear the allies out, for he de

Inasumch as large quantities of oil

but for tractors and power on farms,
the Union company intend to put on
a large tank motor truck for caring
for the southern business. In Carson

Government
Roads in Nevada

The state department of highways
this year will undertake the con-
struction Of nine sections. Surveys
of eight of the roads have been COM
plcted and, in addition, the surveys
for several projects planned for the
next year are complete.
The nine projects for this year
represent total mileage Of 100. They
compromise some of the Wrist Sec
tions of state roads for which q show
ing may be. made. Another point In
favor of carrying out these particular
Projects this year is the fact that In
only one of them will the use of rail-
road cars be required in the trans
portation Of roadmaking materials.
Final plans for projects in Elko,
Nye and Douglas counties have been
drawn and will this week be sent to
Washington for final approval by the
secretary Of agriculture. The pro-
jects have already been approved in
all cases. After word of the approx
al Of the plans is received a short
time will be required for advertising
for bids and the letting of contracts
before construction work may be be-
