AMSTERDAM, Holland, October IL.
The Dutch military authorities an.
nounce that they are taking all pre-
cautions to the end that the Belgian
Dutch frontier will be properly
guarded when the Germans begin to
evacuate Belgium. AS It is consid-
cred probable that thousands of Ger
mans will rather take shelter in neu-
trail Holland than return like beaten
cattle into the breadless fatherland,
the Dutch cabinet IS sending troops
intern them. according to interna-
tional provisions.
Furthermore, the danger is not
small that some of the soldiers in
pursuit of German deserters will try
to prevent these FROM taking refuge
in a neutral land and may be COM
PEELED to set foot On Dutch territory.
In that case they, too. would have to
be interned. if Holland is not to be-
come an ersatz (replacement) battle
field. Finally, troops are needed in
dreds of thousands of civilian refu-
gees from France and Belgium fleeing
before the German armies. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be plenty of
disorder once the Germans begin their
homeward move.
In view of secret information which
they no doubt have the Dutch cabinet
ministers announced in the CHAMBER
of deputies that furloughs had been
generally suspended in the Iceland
province owing to the military situa-
ton on Hollands threshold. 1t is
expected that the measure will be eX-
tended to the Brabant and Limburg
provinces. When the danger gets
more serious Holland may call up
10000 men who are unnobilized but
subject to be summoned at a mo-
ment's notice. The Dutch premier
Ruijs de Beerenbroeck is determined
that Holland shall not be caught I'M

mind the fact that America produces
men who, though inexperienced in the
present war, rise to the occasion. The
ability to- learn from the experience

plan and work and the personal cour-
age to carry plans through-these are
the Qualities in our fighting men that
justifies the nations confidence that

JUDGE E. A. QUICKER
VISITS GOLDF|ELD
CANDIDATE FOR SUPREME
JUDGE ON TRIP THROUGH
STATE

Judge Edward A. Quicker of Hum
boldt county arrived here yesterday
on a campaign through the state in
the interest of his candidacy for
supreme judge. He left this MORN
ing for Las Vegas and Phoebe and
will return here in a few days, on
his way to Ely.
Judge Quicker is one of the most
widely known men in the central
part of the state, where he has oc-
cupied positions of trust since 1904.
He came to Nevada in 1884 and for
several years '.'bucarooed" over the
range in Humboldt county, in this
way saving money for his education.
From money he earned in this
and other ways he studied law and
was admitted to the bar in 1908.
He is a self-made man who has the
reputation among the legal frater-
nifty of placing common sense and
common justice before the techni-
cality of the law.
In 1904 he was elected district
attorney of Humboldt county and
two years later was reelected on
his record. In 1904 he was again
elected, this time without opposi-
ton. In 1910 he was elected dis
trict judge and in 1914 was re-elect-
ed without opposition and since
then has held the position.
Since his announcement for SUI
preme judge the attorneys of Hum
boldt county have endorsed his can
didacy by published resolution and
several district judges of the state
have endorsed his candidacy through
the press.
Judge Quicker has presided in
many district courts throughout the
state and held court here several
years ago, when he tried a number
of criminal cases. In past years he
has been in Goldfield a number of
times on legal business and has
many friends here.

LOUISIANA TO SHIP
SALT GAR FOR EATING

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 16.-Salt
gar fish, 10000 600 pounds a year,
will go to Louisiana waters through
out the country, according to plans
completed by a local fish concern
with the approval of John M. Park
er, state food administrator. Park
er has eaten the salt gar, fried, bak-
ed and stewed, and pronounced it
excellent, even declaring it more
palatable and nourishing than the
high-priced Goldfish. Formerly gar
fish were used only for fertilizer
and bate for crab nets. 1t has been
announced that salt gar will be
cheap.
