REGISTRATION OF WOMEN
 FOR WAR SERVICE CONTINUES

Gov. Brough has continued the re- gistration of women for war service another week, and we hope that all the women of Nevada county will re- gister. Women are not compelled to register, nor are they compelled to do the things for which they register, but the government wants census of workers and may use you, if you wish to be used. You may not be asked to do anything at all, and you may refuse if you are asked, but it is certainly a part of loyalty to register as we are requested. If there is a woman over sixteen (the age of registration who wishes to learn some of the trades listed on the card, we wish that known and hope to be able to put her in touch with the industry of her choice in way to learn it, so that registra- tion may be an opportunity for the individual as we'll as for the govern ment. Let every one of us register and have as much share as possible in the winning of the world for de- mocracy.
 A registration booth has been es- tablished at the Red Cross work room, (Scott's Hall) and we hope to have one down town also.

RAILWAY BILL Is
 PASSED IN SENATE
Cummins Amendment to Include Short Lines" is AZ, opted House is to Act ca the Meas ure Soon.

Washingtol, Feb. 22.-The admins tration | providing for government contra! of railroads until Is months -1t-- the war, including many short lines, and appropriating a revolving fund of $5OO,0OO,OOO for federal oper- ation, was passed today by the Senate without roll call and now awaits action in the House, where it is under debate.
 The bill passed by the Senate au- thorizes the president to initiate rates subject to Interstate Commerce Com mission veto. There was no attempt to revive the fight for indefinite gov ernment control.
 Provision for "short line" railroads was made in an amendment by Sena- tor Cummins of Iowa. adopted 5S to IA. Independent feeders" of the trunk lines estimated to be worth more than $1,000,000,000 are affected. Fears expressed by many senators that the short lines would become bankrupt if not brought within government con- trol was the reason for the action. Director General McAdoo has opposed legislation for "short lines" on the ground that no railroads except those selected as necessary to government unifcation and operation should be brought within federal direction and aid.

It was purely acci- dental that Mir.

Rhoades spending about an hour at the work rooms explaining the organization and helping to perfect it. Mir. Rhoades is field representative under Moorhead Wright, state direc- tor of the War Savings campaign.
 The above named business men, some of whom have never undertaken to ask for money in a cause of any kind previously, took right hold of the wheel yesterday and went out among them, rich and poor, old and young and some of the best speeches ever de- livered in Prescott were put forth by these men, and the need of the hour was met by them in very commend able manner, and much praise is due them for the manner in which each helped to make Thrift Stamps better known to the people and bringing the days sales to the magnificent figure of S,000 and little over.

ARTILLERY ACTIVITY
 PREsAGES BATTLE
Heavy Guns on Both Sides Busy on Whole Western Front The British in Palestine Have Captured Jericho.

New York, Feb. 22.-The heavy ar tillery of both sides is laundering over wide stretches of the French front, along the Aisne, in Champagne and up in Alsace. No infantry fighting is re- ported, but the activity of the enemy artillery will keep the allies on the outlook, for storm of heavy German shells always has been the prelude to a hostile attack. The Germans claim to have brought down 24 allied air ships and two captive balloons. in the past three days.
 The British forces in Palestine have captured the city of Jericho, Austra- lan troops entering the city on Thurs day. Aside from it's historical and sentimental importance. the capture of the city gives General Allenby control of several roads over which to move his men and their supplies. Within 24 miles of the present British posi- tion is the railroad from Damascus to Mecca, which has been the artery which has fed the Turkish forces oper- ating against the Arabian tribesmen. If this road were cut it would give the tribesmen great advantage.

 The German official reports are sil- ent as to any progress in the region of Lutsk, but Austrian troops under General von Linsingen, who "are aid ing Ukraine in her struggle for free dom," according to the Berlin report have moved eastward and have joined forces with the Ukranian forces which are converging on the fortress oi

RUSSIANS HAVE
 LITTLE HOPE OF
 CHECKING HUNS
Army So Disorganized That Re- sistance is ImpOssible-Fall of Lenine-Trotsky Government is RumOred But Not Confirmed.

Amsterdam, Feb. PA Russian courier, with peace proposals of the Russian government has arrived in Berlin, according to advices received here. The Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, the German semi-official or gan, says the reoperling of the nego- tiations with the Russians cannot be expected for some time.
 New York, Feb. 22.-Facing abso- lute subjection at the hands of the advancing Germans, the Russian pre- mier and commander in chief have taken what steps they could to in- itiate at least nominal defense against the invaders. Orders direct ing that guerrilla warfare be carried on and placing Petrograd in a state of siege have been issued by Lenine and Krylenko, and it is expected that the Germans will meet with some resist ance soon.
 That the Teutons can be temporar- fly checked, however, is doubted even in Petrograd. The Russian army's demoralization apparently is so com plete that there is no shadow of au- thority over the soldiers. Berlin re- ports that the first Esthonian regi- ment has deserted in body and of fered it's services to the German com mander who is operating in the nor thernmost Baltic province. The Rus sian navy is completely disorganized and while it is desired to withdraw the warships from Reval and Helsing- fors to Kronstadt it is believed that this is impossible in view of the dis use into which the Baltic fleet has fallen. Only the submarine boats are in seaworthy condition, it is re- ported
 There is as yet no news concerning the rumored fall of the Lenine-Trotsky government The proclamation di- recting that resistance be offered to the German advance, however, did not bear the name of Trotsky, who has been virtual dictator. This fact may be significant.
