FUEL ADMINISTRATOR
WANTS GASOLINE SAVED

The investigation now in progress
by refiners of themiddlewestmy a66
by refiners of the middle west may
result in putting into effect the
"gasolineless" Sunday for the terri
tory west of the Mississippi river.
Even though it may not be neces-
sary to make this request, the state
fuel administrator believes it to be
the duty of everyone to voluntarily
save as much gasoline as possible.
The office of the state fuel ad-
ministrator has requested that ev-
eryone observe the strictest econ
omy in their use of gasoline. The
practice of permitting motors to
run while cars stand at the curb
should be discontinued, as should
the practice. particularly in repair
shops, of using gasoline for cleaning
purposes.
The conscientious observance by
everyone of a few conservation
measures such as those mentioned
may make necessary a request that
no automobiles be used for pleasure
riding on Sundays.

Noted Criminal Dead

Frank TRAINER, serving a life
sentence in the state penitentiary
for completely in the murder of the
Outlet family at Inlay, in Hum
boldt county, died in the prison a
few days ago. TRAINER was twice
under sentence of death, the last
time about one year ago, and was
in the death cell with a watch over
him until the day the parole COM
mission granted a Communication of
sentence. From horrors experience
ed in the death cell TRAINER was
never separated and gradually his
mentality gave way until he suffer-
ed a complete collapse three months
ago and hemorrhage of the brain
was recorded as the cause Of death.
TRAINER was associated with H.
Uric in the murder of the Quilici
family, the crime being one of the
most atrocious ever committed in
the state.

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 25.-Weird
outbursts of religious mania are re-
ported from many parts of the Ger
man empire.
The commander of the Nineteenth
army corps at Leipzig has found it
to prohibit meetings of a
sect known as the Little Flock"
which originated at Meerane. Its
head is a weaver named Hahn, whom
his adherents address as Holy
Father" He poses as the Messiah
and ~pronounces sentences" from
his Judgment seat" from which he
separates the sheep from the
goats"
The new Messiah" has achieved
some measure of popularity by his
attacks on the established clergy on
the ground that they draw stipends,
which. he says, the apostle Paul
never did: neither does he, himself.
The Little Flock craze, it seems,
has spread to such an extent in Sax
ony, especially among impression
able young people, that the authori-
ties have had to interfere.

Regarding resting columns of
troops, location and nature of halt
ing places for troops on march the
document sets forth:
1T is best to distribute the col
umns irregularly under trees. In
villages keep close to the houses,
walls, enclosures of gardens and
hedges, but if possible with irregu-
lar distribution. The best side is
always the north side of houses and
walls on account of the shadows.
In small courtyards, the wagons are

STRANGE RELIGIONS GAIN
SUPPORTERS IN GERMANY

Many extreme pan-Germans have
given way to a kind of heathenish
mysticism. They openly propagate
a revival of the pagan worship of
the ancient Teutons, including of
ferings to Wotan.
A more modern offshoot of this
queer movement is headed by one
Ludwig Neuner, who definitely an
nounces Christianity on the SUI
perfluous plea that it is foreign to
the German IDEAL" Family life is
out of date, says Neuner, and all
children should be charges of the
state. For prayer Neuner proposes
the following substitute, which the
Roman Catholic Germania appropri-
ately calls a prayer ersat," or sub
stitute:
Bodily and mental "uplift'' move
ments every morning, baths, deep
breathing, song and dance, reading
of valuable poetry, contemplation of
truly artistic objects of art and
training of will power by mute sug-
gestion.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. %
Undertaking a project which will
cost about sS9,244,0OO and will add
523,44O acres of tillable soil to the
area of Holland, and which will re-
quire 33 years for completion, the
Dutch gvernment has begun prelimi-
nary work of draining the Zuider
Zee.
IA commission has been named to
take the necessary steps for COM
mencement of construction work,
under authorization of an act pass
ed by both houses of the Dutch leg
islature. which received the royal
signature June IA, 1918, according
to a report from Commercial At
tache Paul l.. Edwards, at The
Hague.
The work of turning the bottom
of the Zuider Zee into fields and
gardens is divided into two distinct
phases: First, the building of a
great 1S-mile dixie from the island
of Wieringen to a point near the
town of Prism, on the coast of the
province of Friesland; and, second,

HOLLAND Starts WORK ON GREAT
Project To DRAIN VAST Acreage

the construction of four bikes with
in the sea and draining and re-
claiming the land back of these bar
riers.
The average depth of water
which the great dyke will encounter
is about 1908 feet below mean av-
erage sea level. The height of the
dixie itself above sea level will run
from 1879 feet to 17.6 feet.
The body of the main dixie will
consist of sand on a body of brush
and stone. with a surface covering
of clay. and the outside lateral sur
face will be faced with a basalt rip
rap. A double-track railroad will
run along the dixie on the inside.
This clay for the surface will be
dredged from the bottom of the
Zuider Zee and also will be trans
ported from the island of Wierin-
gen. as waste material from a canal
that will be under construction
there. The total volume of the
dixie is estimated to be about 3d.
23S,OOO cubic feet. The estimated
cost of the dixie proper is about
s11,256,000.

DEATH TAKES
ARCHBISHOP
+. OF !ST.PAUL
ONE OF MOST DISTINGUISHED
CATHOLIC CHURCHMEN
PASSES AWAY

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. rs. -
Archbishop Ireland died early to-
day.
John Ireland, archbishop of st.
Paul, held such a keen and active
interest in general affairs in the
United States during the past half
century that he was noted as a
publicist, as we'll as for his religious
zeal. He was one of the most dis
tinguished of the Roman Catholic
churchmen of America. There were
few fields of intellectual, political
or spiritual endeavor in which he
failed to take a positive stand,
making himself at times the center
of a controversy.
Born in 1888 in Ireland, a car
%penter's son, he was carried with
his parents in the tide of Irish i'm
migration to America while he was
a child. Altar service at Burling-
ton, VT, and a jolting trip west or
a prairie schooner were among his
boyhood memories, bringing him
finally to st. Paul, Mimi, in 1852,
when Indians in gay blankets stalk
ed the streets of that frontier town.
One evening, the missionary Gre
tin, first bishop of St. Paul, while
watching from his window some
boys of his parish at play, called to
John Ireland and Thomas O'Gor-
man, who later became bishop of
Sioux Falls, to come into the
church. He asked them if they
wished to become priests. Both he
and his playmate agreed that priest
hood was their ambition.
Bishop Cretin sen them, in
charge of a guardian, to France.
where they were educated by the
Marist fathers.
He became bishop in 1875 and
archbishop in 1886. He received
support from many of his admirers
for appointment as the fourth
American cardinal. Celebrating his
golden jubilee a few years ago, the
priests of his diocese presented him
with a purse of 100000.

ONE CITIZENSHIP
PETITION IS
REJECTED
AL SAMUELSON AND GORDON
BURROW ARE AID
MITTED

The visit of F. n. Littleton, spe-
cial U. S. attorney for naturaliza-
ton, to Goldfield yesterday resulted
in AL Samuelson, a native of Swed-
en-, and Ernest Gordon Burrow, a
native of Cornwall, England, being
admitted tc citizenship.
The petition of Cameron Clark of
Goldfield, Low residing in Hornsil-
yer, was dismissed after evidence
had been introduced to show that
during his five years residence nee
essary to become a citizen he had
not displayed a proper attitude to-
ward the government.
In brief, the history of the Clark
case is as follows: Some months
ago District Attorney Foley receiv-
ed a letter from U. S. Attorney Will
liam WOODBURY., requesting infor-
nation on a report made by Dan
Cronin of Goldfield to Adjutant
General Sullivan and which the adj
jutant general referred to Wood
burn.
In answer to this letter the dis
trict attorney sent to WOODBURY. the
affidavits of H. M. Barber and j.
C. Hanna of Goldfield, in which it
was alleged, among other things,
that Clark had called the president
vile names. These ~affidavits cover
ed a period before the United States
entered the war and later District
Attorney Foley wrote WOODBURY.
that, following the entry of the
United States into the war, Clark
had been mum" on the subject.
These facts were considered suf-
ficient grounds for rejecting Clark's
application for citizenship and his
petition was dismissed. Clark was
born in Halifax, N. S.

A|RPLANE BOMBS
GREATLY DAMAGE
TtUT0N SUPPLIES
PRISONERS SAY DESTRUCTION
IN GERMANY is IN
INCREASING

LONDON, Sept. "a. = The in
creasing destructiveness of allied
air raids is attested to by German
prisoners. While statements of
this kind must generally be treated
with reserve, there is evidence that
this particular information is very
near the truth.
V~alenciennes station was heavily
bombed by British airmen recently
A prisoner subsequently stated that
for a number of days following the
raids trains were unable to pass
through Valenciennes, as a big en-
gineer dump had been hit and bar
rels of oil and explosives were
burning and blowing up.
A raid was made upon a NUM-
ton dump lear Marias wood, and
several photographs taken during
the raid showed the explosion. A
party of prisoners captured later
volunteering the information that
the dump blew up and that the
moral effect was enormous.
A prisoner is responsible for the
statement that not long ago an am
munition train was hit and blew up
in Valenciennes, a fact which fully
confirms the official report that di-
rect hits were obtained upon a
moving train at Valenciennes on the
night of May 81.
Still another report by a recent
ly captured German prisoner re-
cords that a saw mill at Somain
managed by a German and employ
in $50 workmen was completely de-
stroyed as the result of an air raid,
Somain was bombed by British air
men.

LIQUOR RULES IN
UNITED KINGDOM
LEAD TO REFORMS
DRUNKENNESS SHOWS DECLINE
SINCE WAR REGULATIONS
WE'RE INSTITUTED

LONDON, Sept. 25. = Drunken
ness and deaths from alcoholism in
the United States show a decline
ranging from 65 to 80 per cent
since the war regulations against
drinking were instituted by the
government three years ago, accord
ing to Lord D. Afternoon, chairman
of the liquor control board.
Abolition of the custom of treat
ing and drinking on an empty stom-
ach and the virtual extinction of
the saloon loafer were the main fac
tors contributing to the growing
tendency to national temperance,
Lord D. Afternoon told the Associat-
ed Press.
THE lines on which we have pro-
ceeded," he continued, ARE to a
large extent novel and they have
succeeded beyond expectation. MOI
is there any evidence of growth of
the drug habit, which is usually one
of the consequences of too drastic
interference with facilities for OBJ
tanning liquor.
This happy absence of undesir-
able features l attribute to the fact
that, while facilities have been
greatly curtailed, the liquor shops
being open five and one-half hours
daily compared with IS or 10 be-
fore the war, our arrangement of
two periods. one at midday and the
other in the evening, has been
found sufficient by those who desire
reasonable refreshment and moth
ing more, and those are of course
the vast majority of drinkers. We
are not out to interfere with them.
1t is the loafer and soaker, who
would drink if he could from dawn
to dusk, who interferes with ma
tional efficiency and whom we are
out to stop. l think we have sue
ceeded in that"

SUBMARINE CHASER Being USED
in TEXAS TO rescue AVIATORS

They have been successful in hunt
ing down foes and in guarding
coasts. ~Sixty-one of the lightning
sleds are in use, 81 along the Allan
tic coast and the 61st on Lake
Worth at Fort Worth.
Several months ago, when the ia
tai falls among the aviation stu
dents around this city grew alarm
ing in number, United States army
officers concluded that simplifying
and advanced training would be less
deadly over the waters of Lake
Worth than over the dry land. The
problem of how to rescue the AVA
tor, should he tumble, was solved
by the sea-sled.

SH|PbU|LO|NG IS
GREAT INDUSTRY
ON EAST COAST
YARDS ARE NOW GETTING
STRIDE AFTER LATE
START

NEW YORK, Sept. %. Miles
of shipyards, their timbers towering
above marsh-girted bays and rivers;
hundreds of hulls, their naked or
half-clad ribs yawning skyward,
acres of giant cranes and derricks,
machine shops and saw mills. This,
in composite, is a picture of war
driven shipbuilding on the north
Atlantic coast, where more than
10000 men are striving to help
make good the nations promise of
a bridge of ships" from the home
land to it's soldiers overseas.
These men, equivalent almost to
four divisions of the troops whose
needs they are serving, have COM
pleted IS vessels, capable of carry
ing $4,000 tons of cargo on a sin
gle trip.
They have launched 20 others.
And all this in a year when prep
araticn rather than production nee
essarily has been the task of the
newly created eastern yards.
Make Schwab forget the Pacific"
was the placarded message which
greeted the emergency fleet corpor-
atoms director general when he
visited a Connecticut shipyard. The
enthusiasm, which dictated the slo-
gan is exhibited by a great major
ity of the managers and workers
in the plants which dot the coast
from Maine to Virginia and inland
waters as far west as Lake Erie.
Outdistanced in production early
in the war by the already organized
shipbuilding industry of the Pacific.
the Atlantic yards are now getting
their stride, and Standardization of
their output, a type to a plant, will
speed the work. They have per-
formed a miracle in assembling ma
terials, erecting plants and hous-
ings, training shipbuilders and
building ships.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Sept. 21.-
A submarine chaser, tuned and
groomed, has been transported into
the heart OF Texas and put to work,
not hurting down lurking German
U-boats, but in r~escuing unfortu-
nate American aviators who fall
into the water.
This is a new venture for the
submarine chaser, or the sea-sled,
as it is more commonly called. Or
dinarily this craft, which attains a
speed of so miles an hour under
the lashing Of it's powerful eight
cylinder motor, is employed along
the Atlantic coast as a guard against
the activities of the undersea boats.

company granting most of their de-
