GRAND HEADQUARTERS OF THE
FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE. Feb. 13.
German preparations for their an
nOOnced offensive on the allied front
have not brought with them any relax
alton of German vigilance or efforts
10 meet any possible, attack from the
allies. New concentrations OF German
forces are gathering in the rear OF
their lines simultaneously with the
hard work which continues on the
front line position. where a most for
midable system OF defenses had been
erected during the winter months.
Various authorities make widely
different estimates of the number OF
German divisions which may eventual
" be brought into the line on this
front. should the Germans decide TO en-
gage in battle on large and decisive
scale. The exact total of the German
forces in the front line and in the i'm
mediate reserve is known TO n unit
One hundred and twelve divisions
occupy the German front line facing
the French. British. American and
Belgian troops. while their immediate
reserves total siXty-three divisions. On
the basis Of 1S.000 men in q German
division. this would be s.1e0. .eOo troops
Possibly several additional divisions
have reached various points behind
the lines. but the fact has not been es-
tablished with certainty At any rate.

IMMIGRATION AGENT PLACE
TO ESTABLISH HEADQUARTERS

Colonel T.. r. Place, immigration
agent of the Western Pacific Railway
Company, was in the city for few
days this week. The Colonel is one of
the active. intelligent railway men of
the country. He is working hard for
the immigration department of his
road and is very much interested in
settling up Nevada. He believes, with
all other honest colonization agents,
that water is essential to success in
ranching in Nevada, and the man who
tries to bring people here and induce
them to settle on land which has no
supply of water is not honest and is
trying to deceive the settler in the
hope of making some little gain and
getting a little business in the mean
time, and in cases of that kind the
settler will forever damn the man or
company that induced him to come out
and undertake to play a losing game.
Colonel Place says Nevada is the
best place to ranch or farm in the
United States, if you get land well
supplied with water for irrigation
purposes, but without it that it can
only lead to financial disaster The
Home Builder has faith in Colonel
Place and his method of doing busi-
ness and takes much pleasure in COM
mendng him and the Western Pacific
Railway to settlers who desire to
come into Nevada.
The Colonel is fitting up a suite of
offices in the old MOO. depot. which
will be opened for business next week.
Every courtesy will be extended to
homeseekers and all persons inter-
ested in the development of Nevada.

PURSUER OF BANK
ROBBERS Is DEAD

After a weeks illness from pneu-
monia, Edwin Kavanaugh passed away
at the Cottage hospital. Fallon, at an
early hour Wednesday morning.
He had been in the employ of the
George B. Williams Company for a
number of years and was well known
among the cattlemen throughout the
state.
He was born in Chemung, Illinois,
October, 1859. and came to Nevada in
1877, entering the employ of Russell
& Bradley. stockmen of Elko county,
remaining with them for fifteen years.
Mr.. Kavanaugh gained state wide
prominence at the time of the Winnie
mucca bank robbery about twenty
years ago, in organizing a possee and
pursuing the bandits into Wyoming,
covering distance of over 600 miles.
The pursuers were close on the
trail of the robbers during the long
chase, at one time being i'm sight of
their prey. but the band was well
organized and through the means of
previously well-laid plans had relays
of mounts awaiting them at needed
points along the entire course. it
being known that they changed horses
over twenty times.
The robbers finally made their
escape, through seeking refuge in the
noted Hole in the Wall" and so
eluded the possee, although later some
members of the party were caught.
This was the last bank robbery
occurring in the state and Kavanaugh
and his band received unqualified
praise for their determined and cour-
ageous attempt.
Deceased received the most thought
ful attention during his illness from
his late employers and many beautiful
floral pieces covered the casket, nota-
bic among them being those of Mr..
and Mrs. George B. Williams.
He is survived by three sisters.
whose home is in Illinois, and one
brother, Steve, OF Masonic, California,
who was present at the funeral.
The funeral exercises were held in
Trinity Episcopal church, Arch-Dea-
con Emery l.. Howe officiating.-

SERVICE
REPORTS DECLINE
IN FLU" CASES

WASHINGTON. Oct. 29-An improve
ment in the influenza epidemic over the
country was indicated by reports re-
ceived yesterday in the public health
service, but in many places the cpl
demic apparently has yet to reach its
crest. In the far West and on the Pa
cific coast the situation has not proved
nearly az serious as it did in the East
and South.
Continued abatement OF the epidemic
in army camps was reported to the
office Of the surgeon-general OF the
army. New cases during the "a hours
ending at noon Tuesday totaled 2,773
against 1907 the day before, while
deaths decreased from 4o4 to 392. There
was a slight Increase in the number Of
pneumonia cases,
Army medical officers said influenza
may now be said to be epidemic in only
five camps, the others reporting less
than so new cases each daily. The to-
tai cases since the disease became cpl
demic number 292. 10 with 15,497 deaths.
In the South generally conditions
among the civilian population are rap
idly improving, according to reports to
the public health service. In the Mid
| die West and in the states bordering
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers
abatement Of the disease also has been
noted, although many new cases still
are being reported daily.
