As the armis,ice has been arranged
on terms laid down BY the allies. il i,
probable that II calls for the occupa-
ton Of Bulgaria by allied troops. with
the assistance Of the Bulgarian govern
ment. Bulgaria probably will be com
pelled TO break of communication with
the central powers and also withdraw
her armies from Serbia, Greece, Ru.
mama and other war theaters.
Before the allied troops can take over
the occupation Of Bulgaria Il Is not un.
likely that the Bulgarian military party
and Germany and Austria will make
determined efforts to keep Bulgaria in
the Teutonic alliance, because the Sc
eession Of Bulgaria would mean thu
collapse OF German aims in Turkey and

PNEUMONIA TAKES
YOUNG
G0lOF|tlO WOMAN

Mrs. R. H. Mclaughlin, wife of
the chief engineer for the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines company, died
at the Mclaughlin residence at l
O'Clock this morning after having
been i'll about one week. Death
was from pneumonia following in
fluenza. Mrs. McLaughlin's con-
dition was such that there was lit
tie hope for recovery after pneu-
monia set in.
Mrs. Mclaughlin had spent prac-
tically her entire life in Goldfield
and her death is mourned by a
large circle of friends. She was
married here in September, 1916,
and was only 23 years of age at
the time of her death. She was
born in Great Falls, Mont.
Mrs. Mclaughlin is survived by
her husband, father and 15-months-
old son. Her father, r. A. Brown,
is one of the pioneers of the Gold
field district and for many years
was employed in mills here. He
is now in Ely and no funeral ar
rangements will be made until he
has been heard from.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2. - Plans for
combating another influenza cpl
demic which is expected to sweep
the country in 1919 will be consid-
cred by health authorities from all
parts of the United States, Canada
and South America at the forty
sixth annual convention of the
American public health association
which opens here Dec. 8.
Members of the association say
that all the influenza epidemics
since 1929 have been recurrent
for from two to three years after
the initial outbreak. For this rea-
son leading authorities feel con-
yinced that the visitation of 1918
will be repeated in 1919 and prob
ably in 1920. Also it is pointed
out that in previous epidemics the
second and third outbreaks have
been more virulent and attended by
a higher mortality rate than were
the initial manifestations.
1t was early in 1918, according
to DR.. w. A. Evans, former health
commissioner of Chicago, that the
now ~so-called Spanish influenza
made it's appearance in Spain. Now
Spain is having its second out-

WANTS EFFECTIVE
GOLD STANDARD
MAINTAINED

LONDON, Nov. 80. = Conditions
necessary to the maintenance of
an effective gold standard should
be restored without delay after the
terms of peace are signed, reports a
committee headed by Lord Cum
life, which was appointed to con-
slider currency and foreign ex-
change problems after the war.
The committee said:
unless the machinery which
long experience has shown to be
the only effective remedy for an
adverse balance of trade and an
undue growth of credit is once
more brought into play, there will
he grave danger of a progressive
credit expansion which will result
in a foreign drain of gold menac-
ing the convertibility of our issue
and so jeopardizing the interna-
tional trade position of the coun-
try"
To maintain the gold standard
the committee recommended ces-
sation of government borrowing as
soon as possible, establishment of
an adequate sinking fund out of
the and the raising of the
Bank of England discount rates.

BIG EASTERN YARDS

CONSTRUCT SHIPS

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 80. -
Announcement that the coming OF
peace will not slow down material
" the shipbuilding activities OF
the yards fringing the Delaware
river is made by Charles Piez, vice
president and general manager of
the emergency fleet corporation.
The work will be lessened only
through elimination of all overtime
labor. Further assurance that no
move is contemplated to curtail
operations is given daily in adver-
tisements in the papers here for
skilled and unskilled workmen for
employment at the yards.
Ships and more ships, according
to Mr.. Piez, will be needed to
transport food supplies to feed
Europe and for the necessary ma
terials that will be required for
the reconstruction period in the
war-stricken area.
eve must continue to build
ships for an indefinite period to
carry on that work." said Mr.. Piez,
las there are not nearly enough
at present. If any changes are
made in our building program,
they will affect only the form and
degrees of the work outlined"
There is to be no wholesale can
collation. of contracts or the elimi-
nation of departments, insisted Mr..
Piez, who declared that whatever
changes are necessary will be of a
gradual sort, and workers whose
departments may be abandoned
will be placed in other branches of
the industry.
At the worlds largest shipyard,
Hog island, work will go steadily
ahead, and men skilled in build
ing vessels will have no difficulty
in getting employment there. Men
without experience may find en-
ployment also, for the school for
instruction where green hands are
converted into shipbuilders will be
continued.

Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the %twilights last 4
cleaning,
Whose stripes and bright stars, through the peril
Gus fight,
Oer the ramparts we watched, were so CALAMITY
streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in
Gave proof through the night that our flag was
still there!
Oh. say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
Der the land of the free and the home of the
brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the
Where the foes naughty host in dread silence re-
What is that which the breeze, Ger the towering
steep
AS it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the CLEAN of the mornings first
In full glory reflected, now shines in the stream.
Oh. say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
Oer the land of the free and the home or the
brave?
And where is that band WHO so v%auntingly swore,
Mid the havoc of war and the battles CONFUSION,
A home and a country they'd leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps
pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom OF the
grave;
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth
wave
Der the land of the free and the home of the brave.
oh. thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Retween their loved home and the wars desola-
ton;
Blest with victry and peace, may the heaven-res-
cued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us
a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto, SIN God Is Our Trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall
wave
Der the land of the free and the home of the
