GENOA LADY
PER|SHES IN FIRE

Last Friday night at about 10
o'clock, the home of Mrs. F. Allen
bach at Genoa, was discovered in
flames. The fire was not discovered
until the house was hopelessly DOOM
ed. Residents of that town quickly
organized fire-fghting brigade and
fought heroically to prevent the fire
from spreading to neighboring houses.
A heavy wind was blowing, and fear
ing for a repetition of the disastrous
fire of a few years ago, which nearly
wiped the little town from the map,
call for assistance was sent to Gard
nerville and other sections and with
in few moments hundred automo-
biles were speeding to Genoa. In the
meantime the wind went down and
assisted by the thick foliage of trees
surrounding the Allcnbach home, the
fire was easily hela from spreading,
although at one time sparks caught
in tree near II. C. Jepyen's resi-
dence, which were quickly extinguish-
ed. s
Shortly after the fire was discover
ed, search was instituted for Mrs.
Allenbach who lived alone. Finding
that she had not went to the homes of
her neighbors, it was quickly sur
missed that she had perished in the.
fire. Early Saturday morning after
the ruins had cooled, a searching
party began digging in the debris.
Near whore her bed stood, tho charred
remains of the aged lady were found,
nothing but the torso and portion of
the head remaining.
Soon after the fire started her son,
jake Allenbach, who lives in, Reno
was apprised of the fire and he arriv-
cd in Genoa Saturday morning and
had the remains of his mother ship
ped to Reno for burial.
Mrs. Allenbcch had been q resi-
dent of Genoa for over forty years,
moving to that place from Carson
where her husband conducted a hotel
in the early days of that city. For
many years she con Quoted a millinery
store at Genoa andOdid thriving
business.
Mrs. Allenbach was over eighty
eayrs of age and was quito feeble
1t is believed that she accidertly over
turned lamp, and in an endeavor to
extinguish the flames, her clothing
caught fire and she pcrished.
The day before the fire, her son,
paid her visit. Being greatly devot-
ed to his aged mother, he endeavored
to induce her to spend her remaining
Gays at his home. She expressed her
wish to remain in Genoa and the son
made no further attempt to have her
change her plans, knowing her de-
sire to live alone.

NEVADA VOLUNTEERS GIVEN
BIG RECEPTION AT FRISCO

Workers from the mines of Nevada,
bronzed men from the open desert
spaces, and rugged men of the out-of
dorr West, composed the contingent
of sixty United States Army volun-
teers who reported at the army re-
cruiting Office, $50 Market Street, to-
day, led by Governor Emmett Boyle of
the Western State.
Governor Boyle, who rarely allows
any large number of recruits to leave
Nevada without running down to San
Francisco with them just to wish them
good luck at the start of their army
careers, was met at the ferry by q re-
cruiting delegation headed by Lieu
tenant-Colonel John H. Gardner,
chief San Francisco Recruiter.
A parade down Market street at 2
o'clock, with the Nevada volunteers,
and the fine band of the Sixty Third
lnfant@y and the contingents of Boy
sceuts and other military organiza-
tions in the line OF march, was
promptly arranged in honor of the
Visitors.
Two San Francisco recruiters, Ser
geant Manuel Jeffrey, former depart
ment head at the Emporium, and Cor
poral Sidney F. Shoemaker, former
Chamber of Commerce publicity man,
were in charge of the recruiting cam
paign that resulted in bringing the
sixty volunteers.
Every one of the Yankee recruits
comes from the same county-Nye
county III Nevada.
Seargent Jeffrey and Corporal Shoe
maker travelled 200 miles across the
desert in automobiles, rode Nevada
donkcy3 up steep mountain sides and
descended $500 feet down minc shafts
Patriotic mass meetings were held
in all of the cities and towns.
At Millers and Manhattan, two No
vada towns, it developed that all un-
married men Of service age had enlist
ed with the exception of four in the
former town and eleven in the latter.
in both towns these men signed up in
q body.
Nevada is mighty proud of her men
in the service and of her splendid
record for volunteers" said Governor
Boyle. I'VE take it for granted in
our state that every man of service
age who can be spared from war
work in some other activity and who
hasn't too many dependent on him will
volunteer to fight at the front. Neva-
da is back of this war with heart and
soul--with every ounce of her streng-
tn and with every penny of her re-
sources"
Tonight Governor Boyle will take
the Nevada recruits to the Orpheum,
where they will be the guests of the
people of their state at theatre

where he received his early training
and college education before his stu
dies abroad, where he went immedi-
ately after graduation for study in
European universities, taking for his
subjects the history Of European pol
itics, diplomacy and the Eastern
Question" He has given a large
amountof time as newspaper cor
respondent on the Continent to the
problems which now are being fought
out on the battlefelds of Europe. His
first experiences abroad were in Ger
many where, as student, he was al
SO doing newspaper work with the
two subjects: "The Balkan Question"
and Socialism" which at that time
was undergoing persecution by Bis
marck in his attempt to secure politi-
cal control of the German Empire.
Since then he has been a frequent
visitor to the continent and in the
year before the outbreak of the war
was member Of the Hague Congress,
where he took an active part.
DR.. Slocum also had a great deal to
do with economic and social prob
lens both in America and Europe, and
has played an important part in I've
settlement of labor controversies. Be-
lieving, as he does profoundly, in the
fundamental principles of information
al law and that stable peace is to be
ultimate outcome of this war, he has
taken the position that there is only
one hope for the liberties of the world,
which is the downfall of German mill
tarism and autocracy. With this in
view he holds very closely not only
that the present war must he fought
through to a finish but that the sit
uation is so very serious that the only
hope of victory lies in a larger parti-
cipation in the conflict by the Ameri-
can nation.
He has given without compensation,
all his time during the period Of the
war to the Government, speaking for
the League of Defense, the led Cross.
the Liberty Loan movements, in the
Camps. and wherever there is an OPP
portunity to be of any service.
The address which he will give will
bear upon the fundamental princi-
pies which are at stake in the present
European struggle and also the rela-
tons of our own country to that con-
flict. DR.. Slocum has been speaking to
large audiences throughout New York
and adjoining states, and is at present
at the request of the Committee on
the Churches and the Moral Aims OF
the War, making a tour through the
Southern states for this purpose. In
fact, his engagements for these ad-
dresses already are taking a very
large amount of his time.

IT'S SAFETY THAT COUNTS

The great majority of the people
who buy Liberty Bonds will be folks
who can least afford to suffer finan-
cial loss. They will be the workers
of the country, the ones who really
produce something. And they more
than any others will come nearest to
buying all they can afford to carry.
And for this class of investor the
Liberty Bond is ideal. There is no
possibility of loss. Just as certain as
the government exists the interest
will be paid regularly and the princi-
pal returned when they mature.
After all it's safety that counts
most.
Consider this when you make your
bond purchase, but particularly re-
member 1t when some smooth tong
ued salesman endeavors to Undue you
to exchange your bonds for industriaj
stocks of one kind or another.
Industrial stocks are necessary to
manufacturing expansion. Many Of
them are extremely desirable. YET
not all Of them are safe depsite the
fact that the industrial development
