1.-The President feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion of an
armistice that he would not feel at
liberty to propose cessation Of arms
to the governments with which the
Government of the United States asso-
ciated against the Central Powers as
long as the armies of those powers
are upon their soil. The good faith
of any discussion would manifestly
depend upon the consent Of the Cen
trail Powers Immediately to withdraw
their forces everywhere from invaded
territory.
"'The President also feels that he
is justified in asking whether the
Imperial chancellor is speaking mere
ly for the constituted authorities of
the empire who have so far conduct
ed the war He deems the answer to
these question vital from every point
of view
Accept, sir, the renewed assurance
of my high consideration.

that one was north of ireland far off

NATIONAL
EFFICIENCY

Germany has won her success so far
on her unity of sentiment. In this
country, Immediately an effort was
made to speed up industrial produc-
ton, IL ran up against class feeling.
so much bitter hostility has existed
between employer and employee, that
millions OF people are more interested
in fighting a class war than aythlnS
else. When any proposition neces'
sary to winning the war was put up
to them, they Immediately suspected
that some one was trying TO put some
thing over on them for personal aims.
Our war work was held up for
months while we tried 10 settle labor
difficulties in which both parties
were more or less to blame. To &C
complish ends worthy of national eff
ficiency we have got TO get closer to-
gether and work more for common
ends.
You can't fight a war II lot OF
our people hate their fellow citizens
worse than they hate the kaiser. For
tunately a truce for the period OF the
war seems to have been patched up
between capital and labor. But the
old hostility is there. II has got TO
be removed II we are TO accomplish
things.
So the problem OF national effici-
ency comes down right here in Elko
to a mans own heart and knowledge
and life.
We need schools in which faithful
scholarship is insisted upon and
which fit children for real life. We
need the spirit OF thoroughness in
detail of work and business. of persis-
tent investigation, dissatisfaction
with any effort short OF 100 per cent
achievement. We need business gov
eminent. We need a harmonious CO.
operation among all elements OF our
community for community ends.
This means a new spirit in our
community life. But under the stress
Of war, changes come fast All these
things can be done. Let everyone
try. in his own little circle of influ-
ence.

WAR PROBLEMS
THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE


Great victories in warfare have
generally resulted from the unexpect-
ed. Washington secured the indie
pendence OF the United States by
keeping up the bluff that he was 60
ing to attack the British at New
York. While continuing all prepare.
tons for such an attack, and leading
his own soldiers to think he was go
ing TO make 1t. he suddenly marched
them off TO Yorktown and captured
CORVALLIS by R surprise attack.
Modern warfare Is organized on so
tremendous a scale that surprise is
very difficult game to pull off. Up
to within few months, 1t was custo-
mary to prepare for an attack by a
week or more of intense artillery fire,
That gave the enemy notice what was
coming. He had plenty OF time to
concentrate his reserves on the threat
ened spot.
The British made the first notable
effort on the surprise principle last
November, when they went ahead
nine miles in two days near Cambria.
But they were Immediately driven
back by the unexpected attack of Ger
man divisions which was an equal sur
prise to them. Then came the great
German offensive OF March 81. I'm
certain where the blow would fall, the
allies were weak at the place that
took the brunt of the shock. They
had been too confident that their air
men could observe any special con
centration of troops.
But the clever Germans marched
great armies in at night Just befor,
the battle, and when they were read,
they had our allies greatly overpow
cred at the attacked points.
The British fighter has been callet
the grittiest in the world, but lack
the ability OF quick action. Our troop
are reported equally gritty, and the
will belle their American name
they do not have quick action too.
IL would seem as II by movln
troops at night and concealing ther
by day In woodlands and towns, une,
pected concentrations could be mad,
