GERMANS BLIND
TO PURPOSE OF
u. S. IN THE WAR
Harden Attacks Carriers of
Ancient Prussian Tradition;
Z. S. Entrance Inevitable

Amsterdam. July 16.-Maximilian
Harden, in an article in Zunkunft,
refers to the significance of Presi-
dent Wilson's speech at Mount Ver-
non and the common celebration in
Great Britain and in America of In
dependence Day.
Frankly admitting the truth of the
contention that America desires no
territory. that her interventfSn means
no material gain for her and even is
bound to be extremely costly for her,
Herr Harden seeks to impress upon
his readers the truth that America
entered the war from idealistic mo-
tives. To these motives, he says,
many Germans are blind and. ac-
cordingly. most Germans decry them.
Harden recognizes the reality of
danger to America from a victorious
Germany and says Americas deci-
sion was bound to fall where it did
fall. whether the Presidents name
was Hughes. Taft, Roosevelt or Will
son.
Harden attacks Admiral Won
Tirpitz, ex-minister of marine, and
DIR. Won Kuehlmann, the recently re-
tired foreign secretary, as carriers
of the ancient Prussian tradition of
King Frederick who, the writer
quotes as saying:
Who gave one man the right to
lay the foundation of fresh power on
human misery and destruction? Con-
quered lands do not make the DOM
inions of a conQueror richer nor his
peoples happier, and a ruler who
imagines he can increase his own
happiness thereby is in grave err
ror.'"
Yet in the same year, 174O, Har-
den continues, King Frederick pre-
pared and executed the invasion of
Silesia. This sort of morality, Har-
den concludes, still inspires the rul-
ers of Germany OF to-day:

FOUR-M|NUTE MEN
HOLD SESSION.
IN RENO
CONVENTION OF SPEAKERS Is
PRONOUNCED A DECIDED
SUCCESS

Four of Goldfield's four-minute
speakers attended the meeting OF
Nevada four-minute men, held at
Reno on Saturday, and expressions
we're heard on every hand that much
good would result from the W
ton of speakers. The meetings
were presided over by Supreme JUS
tice P. A. McCarren and the prin-
cipal speakers were Professor s. H.
Clark of the university of Chicago,
and Signaler Tom Skeyhill, the blind
British soldier-poet, who has electri-
fled audiences throughout this coun-
try with stories of his experiences
in the trenches and with his plea to
the people to support the war and
the Red Cross.
The Goldfield speakers, Charles
r. Evans, j. G. Thompson, Walter
Drabnick and E. Carter Edwards,
left here by auto Friday morning,
returning last night, with the ex-
ception Of Walter Drabnick, who
continued to California. Meetings
of the four-minute men were held in
the Odd Fellows building during
Saturday forenoon, afternoon and
evening" in addition to a great pa
triotic rally at the Rialto theater,
where the speakers addressed en-
thusiastic crowds, and the men at
tending the convention were enter
tanned at a luncheon at the River
side hotel.
Professor Clark, after explaining
ways in which effective speeches
can be confined to Jour minutes, de-
clared that the four-minute men
were drafted for the period of the
wal and that when they volunteered
for this service they put them
selves at the call of their chairman
to make speeches at any time and
on any topic desired in the nations
interest. The meeting was attend
ed by state and county officials from
all over the state as we'll as by
many business and professional men.
Justice McCarren urged that the or
ganization of four-minute speakers
be made permanent and that the aid
of women be enlisted TO further it's
work.

MINES IN
LARGE 0REB0DY
PROPERTY IN EUREKA COUNTY
REPORTED IN GOOD
SHAPE

Senator Thatcher, manager of the
Union Mines company, located in
Eureka county, south of Palisade,
has just returned from the mine and
tells us that they have opened up
an immense body of ore at the 700
foot level. He has had a force of
men at work all winter sinking the
shaft, and In a crOss-cut at the 700
loot level run into the main vein,
and although they have pushed the
drift SO feet into the ore-body there
is, as yet, no indication of the foot
wall.
There is every indication that
they have opened up an immense
body of low-grade ore, which will
require a concentrating plant, and
the company has planned to install
9 100000 plant just as soon as the
conditions of the country will allow
them to secure the necessary ma
chinery. At the present time it is
utterly impossible to secur mining
machinery of any sort, as the mills
and foundries are working day and
night on war orders.
The Union mines have been de-
veoped to such an extent that it is
row one of the greatest silver-lead
properties in this section of the
state. They have already shipped
$4,000 tons of high-grade ore, and
have more than that amount of ton
mage blocked out and ready for
shipment. On the 18th of the month
they intend to start their four big
motor trucks hauling the ore to
the railroad for shipment to the
smelter, and will continue the de-
velopment of the mine. Elko

lieved to be a faulted segment OF
the downward extention of the
vein worked on the 950-foot level.
The strike is SO recent that no
estimate can be made of its extent
until further development work is
done, but the management feels
optimistic over the new discovery,
and has every confidence that a
further extension Of the drift will
continue to add length to the ore
body.
Work is being carried on in sew
eral other places in the mine, and
