Facts About Ships Speed.

A ship Increases her speed more
readily over deep water, but on the
other hand, the faster ship runs the
more depth of water she requires to
prevent the hindrance caused by the
dragging influence of the friction
which is always felt when the ships
keel senses" bottom. Running ten
knots an hour, a ship must have be-
tween 26 and 81 feet of depth, or she
is dragged from below. If running
20 knots she needs a depth of 1O4 to
1O5 feet, and when running 80 knots
she feels the drag over a depth of
nearly 324 feet.

Must Have Regular Meals.

1t is said that the native in India
is extremely particular about regular
ity in his meals: once accustomed to
eating at a certain hour he must stick
to it at all costs. An English engineer
had an awkward experience of this
when erecting a 100-foot steel pole
with the aid of about thirty natives
and the minimum of tackle. The pole
was halfway up when the 'headmnn'
intimated that it was dinner time. on
ly the most desperate entreatieS. cou-
pied with threats, prevented the men
letting the pole come down with II
run, though it had taken several hours
to get it into this position.

JUST THE OLD HUN TRICK
London Press Asserts Austria's Peace
Conference Is Cynical and
Insincere.

London.-The Daily Mail. under the
heading "The Word of Austria, but
the Kaiser's Voice.. says the Austrian
invitation to the allies to open "a con-
fidential, nonbinding discussion" of
peace terms Is another form of the old
German trick.
The Daily Telegraph says: "Nego-
tiations at the present moment even
though they brought temporary peace
would only postpone the final struggle
between might and right. SO long as
the kaiser and his pan-Germans direct
with irresistible authority the destinies
of Germany so long can there be no
question of an armistice or purely
academic negotiations. The note is dis
ingenious, cynical, and inslncere-an
attempt to divert the entente powers
from resolute prosecution of the
war"
The Austrian note is regarded In
this country as maneuver to obtain
needed breathing space for the sorely
tried central empires and to impress
their own people with the desires of
their rulers for cessation of the
struggle which Is wearing them to a
shadow.
Undoubtedly it Is part of a COM
bined peace offensive which has been
expected for some time, and which has
taken definite form within the last
few days. 1t is one of three moves
hich have been made almost simul-
taneously by enemy states.

Who Built First Auto?

Just who built the first automobile
In the United States is matter of
dispute. ElwoOd Haynes of the
HAYNES Automobile company of Koko-
mo, is one of the claimants of the
honor. A machine built by him in
1891. which made n successful trial
trip at the speed of six or seven miles
an hour July 4, 1894, is on exhibition
at the Smithsonian Institution at
Washington.

French "ImmortaIs."

The French "immortals" are the
members of the French Academy
which is part of the Institute of
France. The institute was founded by
Cardinal Richelieu in 1885 and reor-
ganized in 1916. The membership OF
the academy is limited to forty. and
new members are elected by the old
membership.

Papers Secured by U. S. Show
Treachery of BolSheVik
Chiefs.
BETRAYED RUSSIA FOR GOLD
Documents Given Member OF Commit
tee on Public Information Also
Reveal How Germany Plotted
Against U. S. in 1914.

Washington-Proof removing any
doubts that Nicolai Lenine and Leon
Trotzky, the bolshevik leaders, are
paid German agents-if indeed any
doubts have remained-are laid before
the world by the United States gov
ernment in an amazing series OF OIL
cial documents disclosed through the
committee on public information.
Secured In Russia by Edgar G. SIS
son, representing the committee (who
was in that country during last WIN
ter, 1917-1S) these documents not only
show how the German government
through Its Imperial bank paid Its gold
to Lenine, Trotzky, and their imme-
diate associates to betray Russia into
deserting her allies, but give added
proofs that Germany had perfected her
plans for war of world conquest long
before the assassiuations at Sara1evo,
which conveniently furnished her pre-
text.
Hun Plots Against America.
These documents further show that
before the world war was four months
old, and more than two years before
the United States was drawn into 1t
Gin 1910, Germany already was set
ting afoot her plans to mobilize de-
structlve agents and observers" to
cause explosions, strikes, and outrageS
in this country, and planned the EN-
ployment of anarchists and escaped
criminals" for the purpose.
Almost ranking in their sensational
nature with the notorious Zimmer-
man note proposing war by Mexico
and Japan upon the United States.
these documents lay bare new strata
of Prussian intrigue a new view of
the workings of kultur to disrupt the
allies. standing between the world ana
kaiserism. They disclosed also new
story of human treachery for gold.
The intrigue appears to have been
carried down to the last detail of ar
rangement with typical German sys-
TEN.
Revolution Staged by Berlin.
Not only do the disclosures prove
that Lenine, Trotzky, and their band
are paid German agents. They show
that the bolshevik revolution. which
threw Russia into such orgy of muir
der and eXcesses as the world seldom
has seen, actually was arranged by
the German general staff.
They show how the paid agents or
Germany betrayed Russia at the Brest-
Litovsk peace" conference; how Ger
man staff officers have been secretly
received by the bolsheviki as military
advisers how they have acted as spies
upon the embassies of the nations
with which Russia was allied or at
peace; how they have directed the
holshevik foreign, domestic and eco
nomic policy wholly in the interest of
Germany, and to the shame and deg
radiation of Russia.

some of them marked very secret"
or private" and many of them bear

leaders themselves; some of them con-
tdining references to "Comrade TrotZ-

record.
Some of the originals, it is shown.

NEW WELL COMPLETED FOR
WATER AND LIGHT COMPANY

The new well, drilled by d. McNinch
for the Winnemucca Water & Light
Company at their power plant on the
north side of the river, has been COM
pleted. The drill reached depth of
rs feet when it penetrated a large
stratum of gravel and an immense
flow of water.
The well is a twelve-inch bore and
it is stated that the water rose 3S feet
in the pipe and it is estimated the well
will have a caapcity of 500 gallons of
water per minute, greater flow than
the--old well that now furnishes the
water for the town. It will be some
time before the well will be fully
equipped and connected with the
mains for service, it being necessary
to first install a large steam pump
and erect building to house it.

RAILROAD STORY WITH FRANK
KEENAN, AT AMERICAN TONIGHT

Ruler of the Road" the five part
Pathe play starring Frank keenan,,
which will be shown at the American
theatre tonight, shows up in striking
manner the railroad situation as 1t
was before the government took
charge of the gigantic business.
In studying for his part in Ruler
Of the Road" Mr.. keenan, devoted
much of his time to investigating the
underlying powers which controlled
the railroads while they were private.
ly owned corporations. AS a result
of this investigation he became a
strong advocate of government own
ership of the railroads.
Ruler of the Road" shows the pos
sibilities which may permit one rail-
road organization to utterly ruin a
rival organization for purely selfish
motives. thereby causing the public
great inconvenience, and the stock
holders great financial loss.
Such conditions are possible, Mr..
keenan, believes. where the interests
of all the people are looked after by
their duly elected representatives.
Ruler of the Roadp was produced
for Pathe by Ernest C. Warde. 1t
was adapted for the screen from the
successful novel, Simeon Tetlow's
Shadow" by Jeanette Lee.

SUBSCRIBERS MUST PAY IN
ADVANCE, Is LATEST RULING

All subscribers who are receiving
The Silver State through the mail are
requested to pay up at once. The
government requires that we shall
collect in advance after the first of
October and In the meantime those
in arrears must remit Immediately or
we shall be obliged to discontinue the
paper. The order from Uncle Sam Is
very explicit and the penalty far
reaching for the publisher who disre-
CARDS the mandate.
To refuse to take the paper from
the postoffice does not help the sub
scriber unless he pays up as we'll.
We have been sending many copies
OF The Silver State TO our boys in the
training camps. but this must also
cease unless they are paid subscrip-
tions. There is no free list, exchanges
are taboo and where the publisher
will land no one seems to know.
Let us hope that many of our town
subscribers who get their papers
through the postoffice instead of by
carrier will look up their last receipt
or drop in the office and we will in
form them how much they owe. The
American people are reputed to be
the most forgetful in the world and
we sometimes believe the accusation
TO be true when we count up the
numerous bills sent out during the
past year and the lack OF spontaneous
response.
Let us hear from you.

Many ingenious uses have been found
of late for luminous paint. Watches
with dials which glow In the darkness
are becoming common, and only the
other day an order was given for 10O,-
600 marching compasses with luminous
needles to be carried by soldiers at
the front. Immense quantities of lum-
inous cloth are used by the soldiers
who go over the top. 1t Is cut into
small rectangles about ten inches long
and fastened to the collars of the uni
forms. The soldiers can thus recog-
nize their own men In an indiscrimi-
nate fight In the dark. The luminous
paint is also smeared on the end OF
sharpened sticks which. when stuck
into the ground, make fairly clear
beacon. Luminous tape is also used
by the mile for a variety of purposes.
In this way the stretcher bearers mark
the paths they are to follow. 1t has
been found that on a dark night the
luminous paint is visible for only 90
feet. A soldier can dip his hand In the
paint and signal by describing letters
In the air or by wigwagging, knowing
that the enemy cannot see him a hun
dred feet away.

ENJOYS CIGAR IN
Splinter PROOF

Mrs. $. A. Dedman has received the
following letter from her son. Sergt
Chas. J. Cooper, Co. NJ, 102d U. g
Infantry. A. f. F., who has been up In
the front-line trenches for some time
and probably is in the thickest OF the
fray at the present time. The men
tion of his enjoying cigar In the
shallow splinter proof" conveys the
impression that he and his comrades
were engaged in either large de-
fensive or offensive movement and had
not had time to dig deeper trenches
The letter as a whole is a natural
loving letter from a son to his mother
but everything OF a personal nature
has been eliminated for the purpose
OF publication:
My Dear Mother:
Just a few lines to let you know /
am getting along good. Have not re-
ceived any mail from you in nearly
six weeks. The mail is held up on
account of us moving SO often.
Was swimming in the Marne river
the other day. Wish we were near the
water all the while.
1 am too restless TO sleep this after
noon. | am sitting in the doorway o:
a little home all my own. II is just
long enough for me to stretch out in
three feet wide in some places and
six inches to two feet deep. Some
home! Just splinter proof. good
enough until Fritz drops a shell in
and moves me to better quarters, or
comes over and takes Ii away from
me. He will earn all he gets. though
take 1t from me.
The water Is shut off and it leaves
my private bath off duty. Have not
had wash or a shave for four days,
to say nothing about when | had a
bath and a change of clothes.
But still am enjoying a good cigar
at the present time. / buy a box
whenever ! get the chance.
Today is the first real windy day I
have seen In France and believe me
the wind is blowing.
Talk about eats-I have got some
supply-two cans of monkey meat, a
piece of punk and my reserve rations
which l always carry. Rations are
brought up every night-supposed to
be enough 10 last for three meals.
Wish / were back of the lines now
and had your saddle horse. / can
assure you would enjoy myself.
Your loving son.
CHARLES.
