GRAMMAR SCHOOL. NOTES

Angelica Carvalho was the winner
in the contest here Friday afternoon.
Ardath Jackson was a very close sec
ond and Dorothy Hunter was third.
The pupils, patrons and visitors took
a very great interest in the speeches
on the Third Liberty Loan. Attor.
neys Badt, Van Fleet and williams
were the judges. We are very proud
OF the speeches given here Friday az.
.ternoon. We did not know that we
had such talent in our school. ANY of
the speeches would make good read.
Ing and we wish that II were possible
for us 20 have them all put in print.
Below Is given the one that was writ
ten by Miss Caryalho:
Every patriotic American II not
privileged to shoulder a sun Is asking
these days, What can do, how can
I help%
Boys and girls can help in many
ways and ono way Is to study the
causes OF this war TO learn and un.
derstand why we must fight on for
the safety of the world, for the secur.
ity OF Americas privileges and rights.
To understand what this war IA
about II is only necessary to hold in
mind that America stands for n gov.
crnment as Lincoln said, "Of by and
for the people" and not like the kai.
ser says, WOE and death unto those
who oppose my will. Death to those
who deny my mission; let all the enc.
mics OF the German nation perish.
God demands their destruction" And
when our country has 10 fight in de-
Tense OF the rights and liberty OF its
people, every one OF those people must
rally to It's help. Soldiers we must
have, but only few OF our people can
be soldiers. Yet everyone can help
even every boy and girl must help.
and how thankful they will be to
know that they too can take part In
the great struggle to keep what our
forefathers gave us.
There is one way in particular in
which all In school can help as did the
drummer boys when they carried the
flags and beat the drums under com.
mand OF General George Washington.
Boys and girls helped America to win
ts freedom and you can help TO keep
I. You want to know how. For the
present this is the way. Remind your
PARENTS OF the needs and necessities
" our country and you, too. will be
cal soldiers. In this great war for
ours and my safety our country has

Of next week for the purpose of taking
up with the local Council OF Defense
the matter OF increasing the member
ship OF the Radio BuIrer class The
signal corps OF the army is in need Of
radio and buEIer operators and every
effort will be made TO bring 10 the at
tention OF men OF the draft age, who
have been placed in classes one and
two. to the need Of the government
and the advantage to themselves OF
the training afforded in these classes.
The number OF men in these two class
es who reside in Elko is comparatively
small and an effort will be made to
induce all OF them who have the nee
essary education to take advantage of
the classes and also TO show men liv-
ing in the county outside OF the city
that they would be justified in going
to the expense OF coming here for the
training. Men beginning to realize
that we are really at war and that
they will be called TO the colors soon
and that the place where they are
needed most is the place they should
fit themselves to fill. This also will
be the most promising for themselves.
Lou EnsIert asserted most emphat-
ically last Friday evening that under
no circumstances would he undertake
the trip TO Tuscarora- Henry Jones
positively agreed with him, but on
Saturday evening they started for the
camp in Henry's WHY'S Knight ma
chine sans an extra tire. One and
one half miles this side Of Snlder's
the machine resisted every effort OF
LOUIS to make her go, despite frantic
cranking and splendid condemnatory
conversation on the part Of both pas
sengers- So they walked into Sni-
deTs TO put up for the night. Along
came Band Leader Bill Hackett who
puts what We don't know about auto
mobiles in his left nostril every night
upon retiring, and upon the request OF
the belated travellers got Mr.. WHY'S
knight TO going again, so Henry and
Lou started bac kto Elko. a little
on the other side OF Parks they blew
out a tire and came along on the rim
in lieu OF an extra pneumatic. Lou
was reminded so much OF his old Ford
that he became homesick and refused
to chaperone the senator any further
so they went to bed at Parks. com.
ing on home the next morning. Lou
insists more strongly than ever now
that he will never go TO Tuscarora
again Senator Jones says he will
with somebody else.

Frederick W. HohenzoIIern
Denies Having Renounced
Throne; Says Germany
Lost War in 1914.
By Associated Press.

Oosterland, Holland, Dec. ST
have not renounced anything and
l have not signed any document
whatever"
Frederick William Hohenzollern,
who still claims the title OF crown
prince of Germany, thus answered
the question of The Associated
Press in the course Of a lengthy
conversation today, which took
place in the small cottage of the
village pastor on the island of Vie
ringen, where he is interned.
However, he continued, Should
the German government decide to
form a republic similar to the
United States, | shall be perfectly
content to return to Germany as a
simple citizen ready to do anything
to assist my country. l should even
be happy to work as a laborer in
factory.
AT present everything appears
chaos in Germany, but hope things
will right themselves"
Beaten in 1914.
Asked what in his opinion was
the turning point of the war, he
said:
II was convinced early in Octo-
ber. 1914, that we had lost the war.
l considered our position hopeless
after the battle of the Marne, which
we would not have lost if the chiefs
of our general staff had not suffered
a case of nerves.
81 tried to persuade the general
staff to seek peace then, even at a
great sacrifice, going so far as to
give up Alsace-Lorraine. But was
told to mind my own business and
conhne my activities to command
ing my armies. l have proof of
this"
What finally brought about the
downfall of the German military
rower, he declared, was revolution
induced by four years of hunger
among the civilians and the troops
in the rear, together with the over
whelming superiority in numbers
attained by the entente powers since
Americas entry into the war which
had undermined the confidence of
the German fighting forces.
Odds Too Great.
"My soldiers, whom | loved and
with whom l lived continuously.
and who, if l may say so, loved
me, fought with the utmost courage
to the end, even when the odds
were impossible to withstand" the
refugee prince went on. They
had no rest, and sometimes an en-
tire division numbered only o00
rifles. These were opposed by
fresh allied troops, among whom
