MISS LUCINE FINCH IN BENEFIT FOR DAY KIMBALL HOSPITAL
 AUGUST 10.

Woodstock-Mi Lucine Finch, whose Nanny Stories" are famous from the Atlantic to the Pacific, has consented to give recital in Wood stock at an early date, for the bene- fit of the Day Kimball Hospital Our hospital, which is doing something more than it's quota of war work is being sadly neglected in the urgency of the great war causes The ann ual event of the May breakfast count ed on for years as an asset, had to be given up this year because of dear tn of sugar, wheat, and fats. Many and various are the hospitals require ments, and it's needs are imperative, wheras suddenly it's sources of re venue are greatly reduced Lives must be saved, and health must be conserved at home as well as in Fran ce II we are to play the game eff eientlY, and it is hoped that as many as can possibly do so will avail them selves of the chance to contribute to an institution that is an inestimable blessing to the whole countryside, and at same time hear this distni- guished artist. Many have sought to interpret the negro quality of ina gination and poesy, recognized as a thing of epic beauty Miss Finch has supremely achived this. She recounts in their superb imagery, the Bible Stories, related to her, as a child by her old Negro Nanny, a parsonage of rare traits, belived by the family of which she was a chrished member for generations to~have been an A b. ysinnian princess, sold into bondage in Africa, whence she came when very young to America. These stories unique in their dramatic power and poetic quality are a legacy of pure literature from the past They have not been metaorphosed by their pre- sent interpreter but have been pre- served with fervor little short of religious
 In addition to the stories, Miss Finch has rare collection of Negro Spirituals and other songs. These she has hunted through remote and locked in districts; or in the very heart of great communities. has so won the hearts of these people, at once proud and simple, that they taught her things denied others.
 Miss Finch has never been heard publicly in this vicinity. She has been working during the past year for the Red Cross, and had volunteered to give recital for that cause. When the needs of the Hospital, and it's means of support were explained to her, she consented to turn aside from the greater cause for this most worthy one
 Her recital will be given at the Pomfret Hall on Saturday evening Aug. ID, be@srning at 830

He had put six men on the mound and not one was able to keep the Whitneyites from crossing the pan. The game was very close, that is, it was close for one inning. After that the only trouble was that the scorer kept wearing down the lead on his pencil too fast, from marking hits, runs and errors. Manager Whitney stole three bases in Ty Cobb style C.

J. RUSSELL DALEY
LEAVES GOLDF|ELD

John r. Daley, for SO long a
member of the mechanical force OF
the Tribune that his shadow has
become permanently affixed to the
feed boards of the presses, left
Monday morning for Sparks, where
he recently accepted a position in
the offices of the Southern Pacific
company, and it would be a safe
bet that the first time he sees n
of the big S. P. Mallets he will try
to feed a sheet of paper into it.
People may talk of pioneer" and
coolest inhabitants but when
Daley entered Goldfield he met
his way i'm the first outbound
jack rabbit, fleeing before the ad-
vance of civilization, and from the
day he met the jack he made
Goldfield his home until Monday
morning.
People talk of men being wide
ly known" but in this respect Daley

shone like a light on a flivver run

a dark night. He has as many
friends in Goldfield as the kaiser
has enemies and it used to require
a half hour for him to walk a
block. If he wanted to get any
where in a hurry, he had to travel
the alleys.

EXpan5 OH IS the fate Of many in

Laps in no other line of industry is
this felt more keenly than in that
OF transportation. New problems
arise weekly. if not daily. The man
who can solve the problems and
handle the situations is the man who
goes forward and upward The
Canadian Pacific Railway Company
has just had such a problem to solve.
1t has done so by creating a new Of
fee and appointing Vice President
George M. Bosworth to fill it.
The new office is that of Chairman
of the Canadian Pacific Ocean
Services, Limited. Mr.. Bosworth
has resigned as Vice President of the
railway to accept it. The creation
of this position is a natural result of
the growth of the shipping interests
of the Canadian Pacific system
which has now in its owned and
chartered ships, one of the largest
mercantile fleets operated by any
single corporation, a fleet which is
actually greater today than it was
at the beginning of the war. So

TEUTON POISON.GAS PLANT IS
Object Of ALLIED AIR RAIDS

LONDON, Oct. 81. = The Bad
ische poison gas plant at Mannheim,
in the Rhine valley, is a favorite OBJ
ject for "strafing' by the British
airmen. Three consecutive raids
upon it by night have extensively
damaged it. The raiders bombs
partly destroyed the sulphuric acid
and nitric vitrol factory and the
aniline department. Other build
ings of the plant were wrecked.
The other factories at Mannheim
have been heavily bombed IL times.
A heavy death roll has attended
numerous air attacks on Cologne
and Coblentz where the Germans
are being heavily repaid in their
own coin for their murderous work
on London and Paris. The factor
les and railway station at Saar-
brucken have been bombed 10 times
by the British; Karlsruhe, five
Frankfurt-on-the-Rhine
three times; Stuttgart and Ewes
brucken, twice.

WILL ENTERTAIN
FISH LAKE VALLEY
VISITORS TO VALLEY Plan
RETURN OF HOS n
FATALITY "

No delegation from Goldfield ever
visited Fish Lake valley without be-
ing impressed by the hospitality OF
the people who live in the valley.
This was notably true of the two
visits in behalf of the Third
and Fourth Liberty Loans. Moth
ing that could be provided in the
way of entertainment was neglected,
no matter at what cost of effort or
inconvenience.
In appreciation of this and as a
compliment to the people of the
valley, those who composed these
delegations have planned to enter
tain them in Goldfield next Satur-
day night, Oct. 26, and all the peo-
pie of the valley have been invited
and asked to bring the kiddies
along. At an informal meeting at
the Elks' club last evening the pre-
liminary arrangements were placed
in the hands of a committee COM
posed of Clyde Johnson, w. E. Zoe
bel and Del Hammond. The ladies
will also have their important part
in the work.
While those who were entertain
ed in the valley have taken the i
and the responsibility in the affair,
participation will not be limited to
these.

HONOR IS FOUND
AMONG REBELS OF
VERA CRUZ STATE

JUAREZ, Mex, Oct. %. Mexi-
can papers received here tell of a
unique request made upon Felix
Diaz, the rebel leader in the state
of Vera Cruz by President Carranza.
An Argentine b%attleship arrived
at Vera Cruz to assist in observing
the Mexican independence day. The
sailors and marines from the bat
tleship were invited to Mexico City.
To prevent the Diaz rebels from
attacking the train, the Mexican
paper stated, the president sent a
request to Diaz that the train car
rying the Argentine sailors be per-
mitted to pass through rebel terri
tory unmolested.
Diaz granted the request, accord
ing to the newspaper account. upon
condition that no Mexican troops
we're acting as escort to the train.
The train was not molested.

Names, addresses and present occu-

engaged in other forms of industry,
who have abandoned their own trade
since the beginning of the war,
have been obtained by the United
States employment service as a re-
suit of an appeal to officials of To-

An effort will be made through
general appeals and personal solicit
tation to induce these men to re-
turn to the mines, where they are
urgently needed as war workers.

Most of the air attacks in the
Rhine provinces have been direct
ed against the key railway centers,
notably those at Thionville and
Metz-Sablon. The famous railway
triangle at Metz-Sablon and the
junction at Thionville have been
raided 46 times. Photographs TAX
en- Icy the attacking airmen con-
firm the extent and magnitude of
the damage done.
The traffic through Metz-Sablon
has been materially reduced as a
result of the frequent raids at a
tine when quick and regular trans
port of munitions was vital to Ger
many's military needs.
"IIe big Industrial centers on the
Rhine contain. in addition to i'm
rortant railway functions, some of
the largest munition, poison gas
and electrical plants in western Ger
many. These military detectives
have been attacked repeatedly
with marked effect.

CARED FOR BY
lANSING 'S
SISTERS

PARIS, Oct. Is. = The American
secretary of war, Newton d. Baker,
on arriving in France, called upon
Miss Katherine E. Lansing and Miss
Emma S. Lansing of Watertown, N.
Y, sisters of the American secre-
tary of state, who have organized
a Red Cross canteen for wounded
American soldiers at a French port.
Mr.. Bakers call was unofficial and
intended as a matter of courtesy to
his colleague in the United States
cabinet, but he manifested interest
in the work accomplished by the
Misses Lansing and congratulated
them upon their recent decoration
with the French war cross for serv-
ices rendered under fire.
The Misses Lansing have organic
ed here a canteen for distributing
sandwiches, hot drinks, cigarettes
and chocolate to the wounded men
returning to America. In the de-
lays between detraining and settling
on board steamers there are some
times long intervals in which no
food is served to the wounded men.
Consequently they greatly appreci-
ate the good things distributed
among them by the Misses Lansing
as a parting godspeed from the
Red Cross.

ty besets the government of the
north and it's allied advisors in their
attempt to bring order out of the
chaos of nine months of Bolshevik
regime in the Archangel province.
Slowly but surely the task is going
forward, but no one denies 1t is a
difficult job.
One problem the allies confront
is how to arouse the Russians to
work for their own regeneration and
to Join in the task of shaking off
the grip of the Bolsheviki. Urging
them to do so, the Sivernoie Utro,
published here, says:
THE French, British and Ameri-
a soldiers came here from all
parts of the world to fight for the
freedom and happiness of this coun-
try. The Russian people look upon
the allies with envy, with the eyes
of a beggar watching a rich neigh
Dor, and they are making but little
effort themselves to strive for a
happier and freer life. They expect
that the others, the allies for in
stance, will fight for them"
