Willing TO Dig.

From the Chicago Daily News
The conversation in the lobby sof a
Washington hotel turned to the dis.ncli-
nation of the tramp to work, when Com

"a tramp coming down the road, he went
out and stopped him.

the farmer to the hobo. How would you

GOLDFIfLD SOLDIER
WRITES LETTER
FROM FRANCE

F. w. Lockman has handed the
Tribune a letter from Ike Bair,
written Aug. 81, in France. OF
course everybody in Goldfield
wants. to read whatever Ike may
write, and while the letter is chief
ly personal there is one part that
is not and this bears testimony on
a subject that is likely to be very
much discussed as the prisoners
now in the hands of the Germans
are returned to civilization. Bair
says:
"You do not and cannot realize,
without being on the ground, the
class of people we are fighting. 1t
would not be fair to the allied ma
tions and their people to say we
are fighting civilized human be-
ings. They are more like wild an
finals and their only pleasure is
the lust for blood. More wildly
than ever conditions have been
brought to my attention. I believe
I could see the entire German ma
ton and it's population pushed
slowly but surely back, back, then
farther and farther back until the
sea is reached, and with one final
rush once and for all time rid the
world of one of the most damnable
people that ever inhabited the
earth. All this in spite of the fact
that my own father has German
blood in his veins.
well, if you were over here
and could see for yourself
some of the things Germany has
done that will set the worlds
progress back 100 years, you
would know my own, as well as the
feelings of thousands of others.
1t is now easy to see that, had not
America entered this conflict we
would have had to protect our
selves over there just the same, for
those dirty murderers were out to
conquer the world and 1t would
have been our women, wives, daugh-
ters, s~weethearts and sisters whom
we would be fighting for, not only
to save their lives, but what Is
more valuable than life itself, the
! virtue of our women. Just wait
until the history of this var is
written; then you will understand
better"

EPIDEMIC
SWEEPS MEXICO

JUAREZ, Mexico, Nov. Is. =
Graves ploughed like burrows in
open fields, zerapes used as shrouds
and wood ago for hearses were
made necessary by the influenza
epidemic which wept over north
ern Mexico following the appear
ance of the disease on the Ameri-
can border.
All efforts to have funeral serv-
ices were abandoned when the
churches were forced to close be-
cause of the spread of tie disease.
Medical attention was out of
the question, for there are only a
few doctors in the small settle
ments and many Of these were vic
tins of the disease. The supply
OF drugs vas soon exhausted and
urgent requests were sent to the
border from Chihuahua City, Par
ra and Dr,ango City sor medical
supplies. These were permitted
to be sem by the United States war
trade board in spite of the fact
that they appeared on the conser-
walton list of prohibited articles for
export. One shipment contained
500 pounds of EPSON salts ard
lalg e quantities of other drugs

the hospitals in Mexico City to

lilies II the large cities for service

Cross, the national relief organiza-
ton in Mexico similar to the Red
Cross.

LONDON, Nov. 16. - People of
Albert, France, are convinced that
their prophecy has been fulfilled
that when the famous statue of the
Madonna at Albert fell the war
would end in a victory for France
and her allies. This quaint con-
ceit grew out of the fact that the
statue was dislodged by German
shell fire from it's perch on the
tower of the church at Albert dur
ing the first mad rush of the Huns
through France in 1914. The base
of the statue was so shattered that
it hung over the main road from
Amiens to Bapaume, which passed
the walls Of the church.
The statue remained in. that

CAL. FEDERATION MAKES PUB
Lie DEMONSTRATION
PROGRAM"

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IS. -
The California state federation of
labor made public today a recon
struction program" opposing any
reduction in wages to the pre-war
basis.
The federation urged the estab-
lishment of a cooperative organi-
cation to bring producer and con-
sumner closer together, advocated
an extension of the state land col
o~nization plan, super-taxes for idle
land, public ownership of public
utilities and a ban on Asiatic labor
in Americas merchant marine.
The federation invited ito. our
councils" representatives of re-
turned soldiers and sailors to
"counteract obvious preparations
to exploit soldiers in uniform to
the detriment of their brothers,
SOLDIERS of industry"
The f%ederation's executive board
will consider the program at the
December meeting and IL approved
it will be presented to the state
legislature at the opening in jan
uary.

ESTIMATE MADE OF
WARS TOTAL COST

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 10
The direct cost of the war for all
belligerent nations to the first Of
last May is reported to be about
s175,O 600, 5000 by the federal
reserve board bulletin. The esti-
mated cost will amount to nearly
1000, 900. 900 before the end o.
the year. These calculations are
compiled from various sources and,
While the accuracy is o vouched
for, the board believes the figures
substantially correct. For purely
military and naval purposes, it is
estimated the belligerents spent
about $4,000, 100000 to May 1.
The balance represents interest on
debt and other indicated a ex-
penses. About $15O,00O, 600, 900
of the cost has been raised by war
loans of the various nations, calcu-
lated at $1O5,OO 900, 900, or more
than twice as much as the aggre-
gate debt of the central powers, set
at $45, OOO, 100000.

DUTCH VIEW OF
GERMAN POTASH

1t is pointed out in Dutch jour-
nails, says Commerce Reports, that
the German potash industry, here
tofore almost a monopoly, may
have to face severe competition
after the war. Potash deposits
have been discovered in Catalonia;
potash will probably be mined in
the Netherlands Tin the concession
field of Winterswijik); and the
United States may develop a pot
ash industry. Under the stress of
competition the German mines
would doubtless combine, SO that
only one out of four or five mines
would remain in operation.

virgin Of ALBERT
FELL AS WAR NEARED end

strange poise after the Huns had
been rolled back by the battle OF
the Marine. An effort was made
to brace the statue in its recum-
bent position so that it should not
fall until the tower itself gave way.
When the British line was drtv-
en- back in March last the Hun
again entered Albert and when the
Germans retired at the beginning
of the allied offensive the tower
with its statue had fallen. This,
curiously, marked the high tide OF
German invasion. The people Of
Albert believe the luck of the Ger
mans deserted them when the Vir-
gin Of Albert fell.

FEWER WOMEN AT GAMES.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-"Attendance on
ladies' day certainly has fallen OFF
since we entered this war;" said
Charles A. Comiskey, president Of the
Chicago Americans. Comiskey was the
originator of the free day for the fair
sex He declared that throwing open
the gates to the ladies day a week
was a great move to stimulate attend
.ance
when we began admitting the
ladies or Fridays, they enjoyed the
games immensely and o caught on.
They began scoring the contests, and
today, the ladies' are the best fans I
ever saw. They know when a player
pulls a 'boner' and they know when
to cheer.
with the inaugural Of the ladies'
day, the fair sex made up a big part
of u Sunday crowds. But this war
has changed things. Many Of the
women who came with their husbands,
friends or sweetheai> are working
to help win the war. Some of their
male escorts of previous days are
over there Or r employed in some
essential work and IRE too busy to at
tend the games regularly."
