Nevada Heads States In Percentage
OF Volunteers For Army
Carson City. Nevada. March IA, 1918.

carson O1Ly, eva mdCu Ii, 1910.
To the Press of Nevada:
Figures received by Adjutant General Maurice J. Sullivan from The
Adjutant General of the Army. Washington, ID. c., show that Nevada pa
triotsm. az reflected by volunteer enlstments for the regular army, is the
highest of any State in the Union. Nevada has gone lover the top" goo
Der cent in the quota of enlitments called for. her volunteers from April
I, 1917, to February &c. 1918. reaching a total of 1447 as against a required
quota of 1872.
Western States make a much better showing than any other section II
the country, with Nevada standing at the head of the list. giving to the
Nation nine times the number of volunteers called for by the Government
as her proportion for the regular army, and followed in sequence by Mon
tana at 75S. rs per cent. Utah at $1,000. Oregon at 47210. Wyoming at
432. Al, Idaho at 36O. so, Washington at 352S 80. and California at 33751
Nevada's record in volunteers is in keeping with her performance in
every other call upon her patriotism and resources in the present world
crisis. as it was her proud distinction to be the first State to oversubscribe
its quota on the first Liberty Loan. narrowly missing making the same re-
cord on the second loan. and in Red Cross and other contributions and ac-
tivities pertaining to the war. Nevada loyalty and zealously bears her ban
ner of the 'Batte-Born State" at the very head of the procession of pa
triotc Conmonweaths.
The average percentage of the volunteer enlistments compared to the
specified quota for each State, based upon the official figures received by
Adjutant General Sullivan, is 207 is per cent. Nevada, therefore, heading
the list at 1893 81 per cent. is 1865 per cent above the average for all of
the States.
The following list shows the standing of the various States in ratio "
enistments to the quota called for as volunteers for the regular army.

OPTIMISTIC VIEWS Of
EASTERN WAR EDITOR

There is no reason for gloom in the
United States over the military stu
alton, declared Eugene j. Young, a
former Salt Lake newspaper man,
and now war editor for the New
York World, for the allied strategy
is being carried out day by day.
The purpose of the British high COM
mand has been continually reiterated
I'VE are here to kill Germans. 1t is
immaterial whether we win territory
or lose territory. We will win the
war when we have killed enough
Germans"
1.-The present offensive is the last
major offensive operation of German
arms in this war. continued Mr..
Young; lit is realized by German
commanders that it is a Ease of now
or never that the disintegration of
Germany is so complete that the
aountry simply cannot stand a con-
tinuation of the war. Thousands of
families in Berlin have been unable
to heat water for months, lawlessness
is increasing by leaps and bounds
among children IL to 16years of age,
and deserters from the army are
creating a virtual reign of terror.
"The situation in Austria-H Hungary
yerges on collapse. The formation
of a new coalition party in Hungary.
composed of elements intensely anti
Austrian, has brought the dual mon
archy to the verge of civil war
Hungary is filled with deserters from
the Austrian army, and the move to
establish a Hungarian army is under
way"
An allied offensive, said Mr.. Young,
would in all probability be started
from the French front in the Cham.
payne country and by the British
from Vimy ridge or in Flanders
The Americans. when in force. will
no doubt undertake to capture the
iron beds lying between Metz and
Verdun. Sucn "a blow will badly
cripple the enemy and increase his
already acute shortage of metals.

USING TRACTORS
ON NEVADA FARMS
Machines Replace Horse Labor in Many
Parts of the State

Replace norse Labor IN Many
Parts Of the State
Within the past ten years the trac-
tor has become a very valuable ma
chine where extensive farming is
practiced in Nevada and to some ex-
tent in the intensive farming dis
tricts: In such instances the tractor
has replaced the horse labor in GER
tain classes of farm work and on
farms where both the tractor and
horses are used to advantage the
tractors have generally been used
with economy. However. where the
tractor is obtained as a novelty and is
performing the field work while the
horses are in the corral feeding on
high priced alfalfa hay. the tractor is
often used without profit. Speaking
of the use of tractors in Nevada.
Dean G. S. Right of the State Uni
versity said:
The chief advantages in the use
of tractors are that it saves labor;
can be used for extra heavy work for
a continuous period; may be operated
for "a hours aday if necessary; makes
possible the preparation of ground
at the proper time; and lessons the
expense of preparing large areas for
irrigation.
1.-The tractor is being used extern
sively ia preparing land for irriga-
ton in the district of Wells. in Elko
County; the Battle Mountain district,
in Lander County; the Lovelock dis
trict Of Humboldt County; Mason
and Smith valleys. in Lyon County;
the Truckee- Carsonprojectin Church.
i'll County; in southern Washoe. and
in Douglas County. In these districts
the tractor is being used very success.
fully and has been an important fac
tor in the reclamation and cultivation
of large areas of waste land within
the past few years."

U. S. BOYS WORKING RESERVE
Great Industrial Army of 100000 Young
Men Being Modified for the ARMY
Behind the Army"

Food will win the war" is a state
ment that is being emphasized now
more than ever before. To feed our
armies and those of our allies in this
war. the American people must not
only save food and use it with econ
omy. but they must also produce
more than has ever been produced
before.
This will mean that there must be
better organization and a larger num-
Der of workers. Many of those for
meriy engaged in industrial pursuits,
particularly food production. r
now in actual military or naval SER
vice; and to take their places, the
young men below the draft aye are
being enrolled in all parts of the
United States.
Eight boys have already enrolled
from Eureka and vicinity. Those
boys who are now in school will be
ready to begin work as soon as the
schools close. Those boys who are
not attending school are ready to be-
gin work now. All those who wish
to secure the services of any of the
young men for farm or ranch work.
or for any other useful industrial
work, should notify the enrolment
directors who will be glad to help
them getting laborers. And all
those boys who wish to secure useful
and remunerative employment should
enroll in the Boys Working Reserve
at once.
At the time a boy enrolls he is
given a certificate of enrolment; and
when he has done six weeks work
under the rules of the Reserve. he is
given 0 bronze button in recogni-
ton of his services.
The enrolment directors for the
Eureka and surrounding districts are
N. P. Morgan and Charles Priest.

President Wilson accepted anything less than surrender

Wasting of food while anybody goes hungry is SIM

saving food acquired under continue over
