From Over The State

In the Red Cross war-fund drive the White Pine chapter was
allotted a quota of $4,000 and ST., 726.O4 was raised by the chapter,
or 1856 times the quota. The chapter claims this is the best record
made in the country.
Three Nevada physicians who have been assigned to the San
Francisco base hospital and stationed at Camp O~glethorpe, Ga, for
the last three months have received orders to 90 to France and ex-
pect to leave soon. The three are DR.. COIN, formerly of Carson;
DIR. Harald Fletcher, formerly of Reno and son of F. N. Fletcher,
secretary of the tax commission, and DR.. Alice Thompson. formerly
a teacher In the Reno public schools.
The National Food Administration has announced its ruling

period of three months. After the three months it can ask for a IL

plants. The mill is accused of selling wheat -four branded as bar

Carl Mueller, an Austrian, who has been working at Typo for
the Louisiana Consolidated Mining Company, came in to Tonopab
a few days ago with a pair of beautifully blacked eyes and other
traces OF having been in the trenches or over the top with the
enemy. He sought an attorney, to whom he told his case with the
request that he secure some form of redress. 1t seems that Mueller
acquired the battered expression of visage which he displayed to
the attorney when he said things against the president and the coun-
try that had been better left unsaid, and that his fellow workers
would not give him a chance to recant any of his utterances before
they landed on him in mass formation. Then he was told to hit the
long trail to Tonopah, which covers a distance of 81 miles, and be
lost no time in striking out. and would be on the road now were it
not for a kind hearted truck driver who gave him a lift and landed
him in Tonopah.

by TUESDAY the maTlne5 were On
the offensive along the heights north
west of Chateau Thierry. in conjunc-
ton with the French. who appear to
have been operating principally upon
their left. The Germans were now
due for a surprise. Instead of con-
tinuingr on the road to Paris they
found themselves confronted by an
enemy displaying the most superb
valor as well as the greatest skill and
determination. The enemy put in a
division of Saxon troops against the
French-American combination. but
withdrew it early in the week.
Another division faced the Ameri-
cans on Monday, and on Tuesday a
division of Prussians took up the
Kaiser's battle against our men. All
of these divisions we're worsted, and
the Americans and French continued
to advance all Tuesday and Wednes-
day. They gave the enemy no rest,
making repeated attacks against
nests of machine guns. Four or five
hundred prisoners were captured by
Thursday, the Americans losing few
if any prisoners themselves. Although
the gains were trivial compared with
the gains which the Germans had
made in two weeks they served to
stop the foe in full career toward
Paris and beat him back. The
French and Americans re%captured
Gandelu. Chevy, Veuilly-la-P oterie
and a part of Torcy.
One or two German submarines
appeared off our east coast about ten
days ago and began sinking vessels
engaged in the coastwise or West
Indies trade. Within a week four
teen vessels were sent to the bottom
and the enemy visitors succeeded in
eluding our destroyer squadrons.
The nearest that one of the enemy
submarines-and perhaps there was
only one-succeeded in getting to
New York harbor was a point so
miles off Barnegat, New Jersey.
Although the U-cruiser was close to
the route used by our conveys for
France it did not venture to attack
transports. but confined its attention
to much smaller vessels. The princi-
pal ship sunk was the passenger
steamship Carolina, bound for Porto
Rico. A few oil tankers and a few
sailing vessels were also destroyed.
One of the first vessels reported
sunk was the Herbert l.. Pratt. 1t
later was thought that this ship
struck a mine. At all events our
mine sweepers picked up a dozen or
more mines which had been scattered
by the U-boat.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR

From Sundays Salt Lake Tribune
Only by means of an offensive can
the Allies prevent the Germans from
gaining new advantages. Another
enemy offensive is to be expected
either in the direction of Paris or to-
ward Verdun. If the Allies are still
too weak to take the offensive they
must look for a drive which will
wrest from them territory more valu-
able strategically than any yet taken
by the Germans.
Inasmuch as the French must bear
the brunt of the defensive fighting
for q time. an offensive by the Brit
ish would be the logical move. If
the British could mass sufficient
strength to drive the Germans back
in Flanders while the French were
battling s~trenuously and in%fiicting
heavy losses on the enemy. mid-Sum-
mer would see the invaders practical
ly at a standstill. But unless the
Allies are able to strike an offensive
blow somewhere they must prepare
to surrender more territory to the
foe.
French and American fiers report
the massing of enemy troops in the
region between Verdun and our
army in Lorraine. These reports are
calculated tomake the Allies nervous.
for their aviators have not been abs
to prevent the Germans from launch
ing three surprise attacks on a grand
scale this year. Invariably the blow
has fallen at an unexpected point.

this wall at all strategical points and
forced it back slowly after the heavi-
est fighting.
West of Scissors his gains were
comparatively slight. for the French
are still within eight miles of the
western outskirts of that town. To
the northeast the French we're COM
PEELED to retreat across the old battle
ground southwest of Laon. but they
made the foe pay dearly for his
progress. 1t was between Scissors
and the Marine that the Germans
made their biggest gains toward the
end of their offensive, and it was
especially to the northwest of Chateau
Thierry that they flung their lines
farthest toward Paris. By Saturday
Americans began to appear at the
Chateau Thierry and to the east and
northwest of that city or the Marine.
They took part in the defense of
Chateau Thierry, which developed
into a strenuous engagement. The
enemy tried to cross the bridge in
the center of the town and there
was desperate fighting in the street.
American machine gunners took
heavy toll of the enemy. At last it
became necessary to retreat across
the bridge and blow it up. In this
the Americans aided the French.
The Germans, advancing on the
bridge, were blown up, and many of
them were captured. Later the
Germans tried to cross at Jaulgonne,
east of Chateau Thierry. Here again
they came in contact with French in
fantry and American machine gun
units. Ladder bridges were thrown
across the stream at various points,
but most of them were destroyed by
artillery fire. Several hundred of
the Germans succeeded in crossing
to the south bank. but in a counter
attack they were all killed. wounded
or captured.
1t was to the northwest of Chateau
Thierry. at the very apex of the
enemy wedge, that the Americans
did most of their fighting. A divis-
ion of marines joined the French
there early in the week near Veuilly-
la-Poterie. eight miles west of Chat
a Thierry and also northward to-
ward the southern environs of Villers-
Cotterets. 1t was perhaps in this
last-named region that the Ameri-
cans first saw severe fighting and
won their first victory. The Ger
mans attempted to push through a
wood. but were met by the French
and Americans. They were thrown
back to the northern part of the
wood and then elected altogether.

Leaders of VETS and 'Drys' in
Secret Conference Reach
Agreement of Differences

Reno Journal June IL: Leaders o
wet and dry" forces met yester
day and arrived at IN agreemen
whereby Nevada will be bone dry
after January l, 1920. and the Ma
tional prohibition amendment will bt
ratified by the Nevada Legislature al
a special session to be called by Cover
nor E. d. Boyle.
T~heproposed meeting of the "drys'
and "wets" had been kept agood Sc
cret, but when proceedings were con-
cluded news of the result of the delib
erations leaked out.
Representing the "drys" were
Mrs. j. E. Church, president of the
w. c. T. u; Attorney Sam Belford.
Bishop George Hunting, Rev. W. K.
Howe and Frank H. Norcross.
For the "wets'' appeared R. M.
Preston. secretary of the United
Nevada Industries; Peter Dohr and
Harry Heidtmann.
Governor Boyle was present to
learn what decision vas arrived at
that he might advise legislation to
carry out the wishes of the conferees.
The Agreement
The basis of the agreement can be
summarized as follows:
Ratification of the National dry
amendment at a special session of
the Legislature.
The passage at the special session
of the Legislature of a law identical
with the initiative Act making Ne
vada '.bone dry" January l, 1920.
Issuance of bonds to compensate
the liquor men on a basis of rs per
cent of their stocks and 40 per cent
/, of their fixtures.
The liquor men at first held out
for so per cent on their fixtures, but
finally agreed to the lower figure.
To Protect Liquor Men
The compensation measure is de-
signed to protect the liquor men in
the event the initiative Act to be
voted on by the people this Fall re-
ceives a majority of the votes of the
people.
As it is understood that both sides
have agreed to work for the defeat
of this Act. the liquor men profess
to have little fear it will become
operative. Should they be disap-
pointed in their hopes Nevada viii
become bone dry" Immediately
after the official canvass of the vote
is announced in December.
This agreement will come before
the State Council of Defense al a
meeting to be held in Reno THURSDAY
night.
Other War Legislation
Governor Emmett D. Boyle last
night outlined to the Journal other
legislative recommendations he will
make in his call. He began by say
ing there would be absolutely no
change in the primary or registration
law, except insofar as changes are
needed to permit the soldiers in can
tonments, training camps or at the
front to vote.
There win be no tinkering with
the direct primary law" he said.
Besides recommending that the
States fighting men be permitted t,
vote. the Governor will make the
following recommendations:
Other Laws to Be Proposed
