WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Luxem-
burg, from which Germany is draw
ing iron for munitions. Will cut itself
free from German domination and
join the allies after the war, accord
ing to diplomats here today. Allied
military successes may make this
possible earlier.
Information leading to this conclu-
sion has been received in official
quarters here, it is stated.
After the war Luxembourg will be
either: -
An Independent state under the
protection of the league of nations,
PA province of Belgium adjoin.
ing Belgian-Luxemburg.
Nominally an Independent grand
duchy, Luxembourg has been held vas
sal by Germany for years because of
her extensive iron mines which have
fed the Krupp munitions factories
preparedness program.
The people Of Luxemburg have now
appealed to President Wilson for pro-
German armies evacuate their terri
tory which was overrun at the out
break Of the war in violation of a
neutrality treaty.
Popular resentment was long held
in check by the grand duchess.
But dispatches here indicate the
parliament is striving to cut loose
from Germany and join the allies.
Luxemburg contains a percentage
Of French and Belgian population
and French is spoken among the
educated classes and dominates the
peasant dialects. experts say.
Germany signed treaties in 1867
and 1902 guaranteeing neutrality of
Luxembourg and promising not to use
her railways for troop movements.
But without seaport, Luxembourg
was forced into the German customs
union and German tariffs were exact
ed on all goods coming into her bor-
ders. She was thus forced into eco
nomic dependence on Germany, hav-
ing few manufactures and being
obliged to take German goods in ex-
change for iron, coal and farm pro-
ducts.
Allied military successes have en-
couraged parliamentary leaders in
Luxembourg to protest against Ger
man usurpation. The tiny country is
without large military force and
will be helpless to defend herself
against Germany until allied sue
cesses push the kaiser's hordes from
her borders.
Her vast mineral resources and
agricultural products will be OF great
aid to allied peoples nearby and she
would in turn have better access to
the sea by obtaining free passage
through Belgium and France, diplo.
mats point out.

THREE DAY BATTLE
WON BY AMERICANS

There were Germans behind the first
ridges. Beyond the river were new
trenchs.
A heavy morning fog, Thursday,
hid the German machine guns and al
most caused the tanks to lose their
way.
The German resistance was bitter.
1t began simultaneously with the at
tacAi when they let down a heavy
barrage that lasted thirty-six hours.
1t included gas and was directed at
ST. Souplet and the line of villages
ON either side.
Five German divisions, including
the famous third naval. and elements
of six others, participated in the
fighting along the American second
corps front, of which the New York
ers had the left wing and the Caro-
linas and Tennessee troops the right.
The first day, the German naval di-
vision attacked from the left and an
other division from the right. Fight
! ing continued by moonlight.
When one battalion established
J headquarters at L'Arbre De Guise Ca
mile east of St. Souplet) the major
used a tank for an Office.

MIDLAND TRAIL
IN GOOD SHAPE
MUD is NOW GONE FROM ROAD
THROUGH CEDAR
FLAT

The first automobile tourists to
cross the summit from Big Pine in
six weeks came into Goldfeld Mon
cay from Los Angeles and re-
ported the road, which is on the
Midland Trail, to be in excellent
condition.
Three cars came in Monday and
the drivers said the road through
Cedar Flat, above the toll gate this
side of Big Pine and which has been
blocked with mud, is now open and
in first-class condition.
The opening Of this stretch of the
Midland Trail is the annual signal
for the opening of the tourist sea-
SON which last year brought 5000
cars through Goldfield, according to
estimates made by local garage
men.

Recruiting Officer o. E. Pugsley,
in charge of the Tonopah recruiting
station, arrived in Goldfield yester-
day on a tour of the southern part
of the state in search of recruits. He
left here today for Las Vegas and
will return in about four days. The
recruiting officer is travelling in an
automobile donated for the trip by
w. A. Bray, surveyor of Nye coun-
ty, and is accompanied by R. H.
O'Brien, a mechanician.
On his way south the recrulter
will cover all the territory along
the auto road and thoroughly car
vass the towns.
The Tonopah station is now the
central Office for recruiting in the
southern part of the state and Its
establishment has led to many en-
listments that could not have been
secured otherwise and at a saving
to recruits in transportation charges.
Pugsley reports that enlistments
through the station are gratifying
and hopes to arouse enthusiasm on
his present trip that will bring re-
suits.

COMPANY PREPARES
TO DRILL FOR OIL
EXPERTS PRONOUNCE INDICA-
TIONS TO BE GOOD NEAR
FALION

Never since the boom days of Fair
view and Wonder has interest been
so keen in the development Of the
latent of Churchill county
as at the present time. While there
has been much talk of the oil indi-
cations hereabouts, 1t is only recent
ly that actual steps have been taken
to make tests.
This week Manager W. M. McCaf-
frey of the Nevada Salt Basin Dome
Oil company, which was recently or
ganized in Fallon, has been going
over the ground with e. w. Clark,
an experienced oil well driller, and
they carefully inspected the holdings
of the company in the vicinity of
Salt Wells for the purpose of desig-
mating the place where drilling will
be done. Mr.. Clark is preparing to
move his we'll drilling outfit from
north of Reno to Fallon and it will
begin drilling in the near future.

that definite indications Of oil may
be found at even the surface depth
of a few hundred feet, though, of
course, 1t would not be expected that
oil in commercial quantities could be
developed without sinking to great
depth.
After careful examination, Mr..
Clark endorsed the opinions Of the
locators as to the geological forma-
ton of the land strongly indicating
the presence of oil. The holdings
of the above company are just across
the range Of hills from the Still
water section, where favorable re-
ports have been made by a number
of oil men during the past eight or
ten years, and when large areas
have been located from year to year.
However, it is the dome formation

peals to Mr.. Caffrey and his associ-
ates.-Fallon agile.
