Flag, American troops were led into many an ambuscade by Boche trick cry in the display of this insignia. And what has incensed the Ameri- cans the most is the fact that the Germans refused to recognize the Red Cross emblem at any time.
 Before going to the front was inclined to doubt some of the stories being circulated about the Germans" said the medical officer, 'but after one month in the front lines I can be- lieve anything that is said against them. They are so guilty of inhu- man and barbarous acts themselves that they refuse to respect the use of the Red Cross by the Allies. Their use of the Red Cross insignia is one of the biggest crimes they ought to be made to answer for after the war"
 One of the tricks used by the Boche was to plant Red Cross flag in the tower of a church of a village in the path of the advancing Amerl- cans. Respecting it, the infantry would not call for any concentration of artillery fire on these buildings.
 The American troops upon taking one particular village advanced upon church, from which was displayed Red Cross flag, without suspecting any trick. When they were within short range, murderous machine gun fire was poured into their ranks from the windows and towers of the church. When the Americans finally gained the interior, they found six machine guns, manned by platoon of sturdy Boches-not sign of any hospital or dressing station. Need less to say no prisoners were taken.

JUNIOR RED CROSS
CAMPA AICN NOW ON

A drive of national scope, during
which one hundred per cent of Ne
vadas 10000 pupils are expected to
enroll, starts this morning and con-
tinues until February %. is the mes
sage contained in a call by George A.
Campbell. field representative for
Nevada.
"The Junior Red Cross is not new
in Nevada" said Mr.. Campbell yester-
day afternoon, "as several Reno
schools had undertaken the movement
before it obtained national recogni-
tion. The membership is limited to
the young people, and the fee for ad-
mission is but 25 cents, or within the
reach of everyone, no matter how
modest his circumstances. He hope
to enroll nearly every school child in
the state. A meeting has been called
for next Saturday. February 16, at 2
D. m. in the Reno High School assem-
bly, room, and all teachers, members
of mothers or allied clubs, are asked
to attend. All Nevada Red Cross
chapters are being asked to send
delegates"

In sorrow by thy bier we stand.
Amid the awe that bushes all.
Oh slow to smite and swift to spare
Gentle and merciful and just.
Who, in the fear of God did'st bear
The sword of power, nations trust
And speak the anguish of a land
That shook with horror at thy fall
Thy task is done; the bonds are free;
We bear thee to an honored grave,
Whose proudest monument shall be.
The broken letters of the slave.
Pure was thy life; its bloody close
Hath placed thee with the sons of

Among the noble host of those
Who perished in the cause of right

LEGAL ASPECTS OF LOCATING
OIL SHALE LAND REVIEWED

Eight names are used on location
notices for oil shale land: each loca-
ton covers 100 acres, and same are
governed by the placer law. This
makes twenty acres, or a regular
claim, to each United States citizens
name on the notice. The boundaries
must conform TO the regular subdi-
visions. taking, for instance. section
corner to tie to. In this way unwith-
drawn and INDICATED bituminous
lands to any extent may be located.
However, just how much may be
held is at present a mooted questlJn
The number of acres to be held by a~y
one company soon may be limited by
statute. The notices must be filed
with the district recorder or at the
county seat the same as on regular
placer or lode claims. Work must be
performed within the year and frac-
tion. The work is supposed to be
done on each 160-acre claim. But an
effort is being made so that as in min
ing for ore, a shaft or tunnel strate-
gically located. may answer for the
eatde contiguous tract.
k,chnicalities of finding pay oil in
oder to hold claim no longer main
tain in courts, which have dropped
their arbitrariness and now oil lands
may be held under a reasonable show
ing that the lands are probably hy-
drocarbonous or bituminous and more
valuable for oil prospecting than any
other purpose. authorities state.
