FORSTER SAYS 81" IS
THOROUGHBRED ENGINE

Last Sunday. the News in recount
ing the incident of the runaway ore
train on the Nevada Northern rail-
way. said THE engine was No. 81.
II Is said this Is not the first time the
engine has acted In this way -"
Ernest G. Forster takes exceptions to
this statement Mr.. Forster was the
fireman on the 81 at the time of the
incident, and the man who remained
in the cab and succeeded in bringing
the train TO n standstill in time to
prevent a collision with a passenger
train. Mr. Forster is an engineer OF
experience but has been serving re-
Gently as fireman. For some time
past he and the 81 have been pals.
and and he had learned TO think bet
,er of heT than any engine in the
service. Concerning the 81 he says;
Editor White Pine News.
"In your last issue | note your
statement concerning engine 81. IL
has been intimated to me that | of
fered or had said article printed. Not
guilty--to those hwo have so sur
missed. But rise in endeavor to
have the stigma removed from engine
la7. care not for enconium and
attempt no oratorical magnificence. II
Is q weli-known fact that there Is q
psychological understanding between
engine and engineer. There Is a pos.
sibility that engine 81 may have been
the butt of adverse comment, but
that does not for one moment prove
her unworthiness at all. Even with
few minor faults--as We all have
| wish TO state that 81 proved beyond
all question of doubt her rights and
title as a real engine, thoroughbred.
because when tho crisis came. that
old girl hit the trail In way that
knocks out the theoretical dope as to
taking curvature at high speed, and
at rate that made a greyhound look
like a snail. And when the moment
for opposite action was at hand she
nailed 'em with tenacity that would
have made the gamest bull dog that
ever was born turn green with envy.
In fact, II Westinghouse himself

former statement and give credit to
engine 81 as the engine she so
valIantiy proved herself to be. she

eu,ties every inch OF the way

PORTED ALL OVER COUNTRY.
Especial to the News)

WASHINGTON. May 4.-The Brit
ish have repulsed German assault
at Lacon The enemy Is suffering
heavy losses. The Germans rushed
forward under cover of heavy artiI-
lery barrage, only to be hurled back
by Haig's gallant men The French
troops made decided progress during
the day and the lines of both entente
allied armies advanced in the neigh
borhood of Metran. new German
offensive is looked for but the entente
commanders profess the utomst con-
fidence In the outcome of another as
sault on their positions. The Emperor
of Austria has gone to the front and
another drive on the Italian positions
Is imminent The Hapsburg Kaiser
fears for his crown. Premier Won
Seydler has been empowered to ad-
journ the Austrian parliament TO pre-
vent any outbreaks among deputies
determined to break with the govern
ment In Its war progress.
The military and political situation
In the dual monarchy is reaching a
climax. Riots are reported all over
the country. The food situation Ia
very serious The crisis in Vienna In
marked by the dismissal of the Aus
rian parliament by the empowered
order and the declaration that fore
ible means would be taken to make
resumption of its session impos-
sibie. Such drastic action taken In
the face of present unrest throughout
Austria-Hungary as the result OF war
privations and the ever recurring
racial differences will cause the de-
velopment of n situation in the dual
monarchy to be followed with the
keenest interest.
The German offensive in Flanders
has been held up for virtually five
days since the enemy waves last
dashed against the rock-ribbed de-
fense of the British and French army
last week and the Ypres line stood
from under the attack. General Won
Arnin evidently has been forced into
this inactivity by the severity of his
losses and the time necessary to mar
shall new forces for fresh blow

turns are in from all over the coun-
ty and the bank officials have had
time to index and tabulate the COM
plete results of the drive.
The figures as given out are inter
esting as showing the loyalty with
which the citizens of the conuty have
responded to the appeal to buy the
Third Liberty bonds. The county, in
common with the state. has conducted
Its own campaign. White Pine coun-
tvs quota, TO be subscribed by indi-
viduals. was s205.000. This did not
include an arbitrary amount of $780,
900 to be subscribed by the Nevada
Consolidated Copper company. The
real significance of the individual
subscriptions is manifested In the
fact that aside from the $500, 900
subscribed by the company named,
the individual quota Ia oversuhscrib-
ed more than 100000 1t is a safe
assertion that with the final returns
from over the county the quota which
was required outside the 100000
subscription will show three times the
amount asked. II Is a splendid re-
Election on the patriotic spirit of the
county and the manner In which the
drive has been conducted.
Concerning the state at large. fig
Tres received yesterday indicate that
the official bond total will be around
$3.5..a. 0c0. which Is about $1,000
800 over the states quota.

ONLY ONE MONTH LEFT
FOR YOUNG MEN To ENLIST

Only month remains for men who
reached their twenty-frst birthday
since June 5. 1917, to volunteer for
service In the army. according to in
formation received from William II
Harkins. recruiting officer, U. s. A.
Under the provisions of the new Sc
lective service law all men who have
become 21 since June of last year
Will be compelled to register on June
3 OF this year and thereby lose the
privilege of choosing the branch of
service which they wish to join.
The war department is making a
strenuous effort to have all these men
enlist at once to do away with as
much as possible the necessity of Sc
lecting them in the draft and all re-
eruiting officers are urged to carry
on an intensive ten-days' campaign
for recruits. The cavalry. the artil-
lery. the ordnance department and
the quartermaster' corps all need
young recruits while there is plenty
of opportunity for men in the avia-
ton service.
Recruiting Officer Harkins will ar
rive in Ely May s. and will be glad

Acid Causes Freight Loss.

A carload of freight was burned at
Shafter Friday. as the result of leak
ing acid, that comprised portion of
the ears contents. The car is said
to have contained general merehan-
disc and was delivered to the Nevada
Northern railway at Shafter from the
Western Pacific for Ely. Conditions
were such from the fiery liquid that
the conductor of the inward bound
freight decided not to move the car
as a part of his train, the acid soon
resulting in a blaze that destroyed
