NEW YORK TIMEs)

Nobody in Russia, we imagine, save
the Bolsheviki and other persons or
factions acting in the German interest
for the ruin of that great country, will
resent the landing Of the small. the
very small, armed force which Japan
and the United States will jointly send
to Vladivostok. There can be no men
ace to the territorial integrity Of Rus
sla In military expedition OF such
moderate numbers, all told less than
an American division. The purpose OF
the expedition is distinctly set forth
by the State Department: 'The only
present object for which American
troops will be employed will be to
guard military stores which may sub
sequently be needed by the Russian
forces and to render such aid as may
be acceptable to the Russians in the
organization of their own self-defense. ;"
The large stores of military supplies at
Vladtvostok will be safeguarded by the
American and Japanese troops and
they will assist in protecting the rear
OF the Notwithstanding CZechoslo-
walks. The japanese and the United
States governments are IN entire
agreement; in separate statements,
which, however, announce an Identical
policy, assurance is given to the Rus
slams that there will be no impairment
of their territorial integrity now or
hereafter, that the only object is to
render aid "as shall be acceptable to
the Russian people themselves in their
endeavor to regain control of their
own affairs, their own territory, and
their own destiny"
\ The sending of these troops marks
the beginning of a new period in the
relation Of the Allies to revolutionized
Russia. 1t marks, too, the end of the
long-continued and persistent efforts
in this country to bring about recog-
milton of the Soviet government by the
United States. In part that attempt
may have been the outcome of pure
ignorance of what has been going on
in Russia, of the nature of the Soviet
government, of the character Of Le-
nine and TrotZky, and of the certain
consequences of abandoning the Rus
sian people to the Germans and to
their no less dangerous enemies in
Moscow. 1t is evident that the feel
ing, so long prevailing at Washington,
that the sending of an allied force in
to Siberia would be dangerous, since
it might offend the Russians and move
them to demand the aid of Germany
to expel the invaders, has given place
to better understanding of the pres
ent temper of the Russian people.
Evidence, abundant and convincing,
that the Russians would welcome al
lied deliverance from their perils has
long been accessible to all in this
country who would pay heed to it; but

We could do the Russian people no
greater service than to destroy the
German military power and force a
German withdrawal from Russia. That,
in fact, has becme an indispensable
aim of the war. Even in Washington
they seem to be continually in danger
of forgetting that we may win the war
in the west and yet lose it altogether
in the east. The war will not be
won, the world will not be safe, until
the military and economic grip of Ger
many on Russia has been broken.

friends in Europe are not accustomed to so much
fat in their pork. Foreign buying agencies now

We are saving sugar because the ships which
might be used to bring sugar from faraway ports
are needed for other purposes, because some of
the nearby countries producing sugar have
small yield this year, because our own crop is
smaller than we expected and because the pesky

Because of the new double track
plan. which went into effect Sunday
morning, whereby the Western Pa
cifc and Southern Pacific railroads
are using each others right-of-way
between this city and Wells. this city
has again been made the passenger
terminal for the Western Pacific. In
this manner the city population has
been increased because seven crews
will hereafter make it their permanent
headquarters. Figuring five men to a
crew, with their families. 1t means
that approximately one hundred more
persons will reside here.
All eastbound trains are now NOV
ing over the Western Pacific tracks
and westbound trains of both roads
are running over Southern Pacific
tracks. But this only applies between
this city and Wells. the two roads
handling their own individual business
and operating just the same as before
otherwise.

out from the trenches to frog pond

uniforms and dive into the cool wa
ters with German snipers not hun
dred yards away in their trenches.
The American boy appears to be alb
sOlutely unafraid. The greater the
number of casualties in his own unit
the greater is his resolve to make the
Germans pay the price. His morale
increases noticeably every time COM
rade falls with German bullets in his
body.
Mr.. Wilson was in the front lines for
two months, serving in the uniform of

he drove his truck ahead Of the field

PLACER mining IS
RETURNING TOOWN

Placer mining is now attracting
more interest In Nevada than for
many years. A dozen or more dis
tricts in the state yielded placer gold
in the early-day operations, conducted
in many instances by Chinese miners,
but the lack of water has long been
supposed to preclude successful placer
mining. The only important operation
of this character in late years has
been that of the Round Mountain Min
ing Company, in northern Nye county.
In recent months Goldfield men
have been prospecting the bed and
tributory gulches of Tule canyon, an
offshoot of Death Valley. in southern
Esmeralda county, and have found
rich gravel above shallow bedrock at
many points for a distance of five
miles along the bed of the canyon.
Several districts in Humboldt county
produced placer gold in large guam
titles, including American canyon
near the present town of Rochester;
Rabbit Hole basin, 80 miles north OF
Lovelock; Horse Greek Canyon, at the
northern extremity of the county; Dry
Canyon and Spring Valley, south Of
Mill City; Barker Canyon and Dur
Glen, east of Mill City.
1t is said Wells Fargo & Co. receipt
show that Chinese miners shipped
$4,000, 900 in gold from Barker can
yon in eight years. In Elko county
the Tuscarora district, on the border
of Independent Valley, and the Bull
Run placers, farther north, sent out
quantities of gold. Rich gravel has
been found in the region drained b.
the Little Salmon river, in the faI
northern part of Elko county, and in
Squaw Valley, west of Tuscarora.
Nye county. in addition to the Round
Mountain placers, contains grounf
that was worked profitably man.
years ago, and within recent months
gold was being taken from placer
near lone and in Golden Canyon, near
Smoky Valley.
In Lander county the Copper Can
yon placer mine is now being worked
and a placer boom some
three years ago resulted in founding
the camp of Bannock, now nearly de-
serted. Esmeralda county has many
promising fields for placer mining in
addition to the Tule Canyon region.
Chinese and white miners produced
gold from placers at Klondyke, mid
way between Goldfield and Tonopah
some forty years ago, and their work
ings are still to be seen. Good mug
gets, one valued at $1,000. have been
found here in late years. Gold Noun
tain. Fish Lake Valley and the Ida
districts are said to contain placer
ground of great value. OF course, the
Manhattan gravels must not be for
gotten. Dry washing has been sue
cessful only under certain favorable
but nowhere in Nevada has
the problem of recovering placer gold
been attacked seriously or with equip
ment other than that available to the
rospector.-Mining & Science Press.
