that Felipe Angeles was proclaimed
provisional president of Mexico BY

regarded as possessing high signifi-

lieved to have favorably impressed
not only this government, but the Al
lied governments during the Euro

France to inspect munitions made in
the United States for the French
army. II -
Angeles is full-blooded Indian. is
we'll educated, was a loyal adherent
of Madero, is universally credited
with having the confidence of the
masses of Mexico, with whose prob
lens he is in sympathy, and he is
known to be friendly toward the
United States.

DEATH GROUND FOR FILTERS
Vernon Castle and General March's
Son Among roo Killed in Texas. q

Fort Worth, Tex.-One hundred
and six men were killed at the three
big government aviation fields here
between November IS, 1917, and the
recent close of aerial activities, ac-
cording to official figures just made
public. =.
In the same period the three fields
now being closed turned out LAYS
finished aviators, most of whom were
sent to the western front. One thou
sand commissioned aviators were
also sent here from other schools to
finish their gunnery course, at Talia-
ferro Field.
The statistics made public show
that in the training period the actual
flyino hours at Carruthers Field to-
tailed $4,000 at Barron Eield 26,6o8
and at Taliaferro Field 32,488. M
The tail spin and the nose dive
were responsible for large majority
of the accidents, according to Off
GERS. In the entire training period
not a single American cadet was
killed on the first solo flight This
is attributed to the thorough instruc-
ton in ground work. Three British
flyers were killed on solo flights.
Captain Vernon Castle, the Amer
lean dance interpreter, who had faced
death numerous times over the Ger
man lines as BRITISH aviator,
swerved his machine sharply, to
avoid hitting another aviator here.
He lacked height for the nlaneuver,
crashed and was killed.
The young son OF Gen. Peyton c.
March. chief of staff, was killed at
the gunnery field while engaged in
combat practice at a height of two
thousand feet. The wings of his
machine became erkangled with
those of his opponents airplane.-

SHARP REBUKE 70 BR GIVEN
GERMANS FOR BAR
3 GAINING


M Paris, May 3I.--The allies intend
to stand by the peace terms already
announced, in spite of the protests
and requests of the Germans in their
various notes The big five" have
already decided, it was learned today.
that the German counter proposals
!. are nothing more than insulting. In
the reply the Germans will be sharp
ly rebuked for their endeavor to bar
gain" on the principles of peace.
: The only notifications that will be
made affect the economic terms IN
order to facilitate Germany's pay
ment OF reparations. The original
terms must be accepted or rejected.
Despite his strenuous Memorial
day, President Wilson put in a busy
day at work upon suggestions for the
allied note which will SO be present.
ed to the Germans.
Secret reports from Germany indi-
cate strong pressure is being brought
to bear from Bavaria and the Rhine
districts in favor OF signing the treaty,
although this is opposed by the
iunkers and DR.. Matthias Erzberger,
leader of the centrist party, and head
of the German armistice commission.
American officials who have been
in Germany declare that rejection OF
the treaty would bring about the
worst possible condition in that coun-
try. 1t would mean absolute starva-
ton and there could be no possible
armed resistance as the country is in
no condition to renew the war. Ger
many could be brought to her knees
by economic pressure within a fort
night. The only thing they could
hope to achieve by rejection OF the
treaty would be Encouragement OF
the terms for the payment of repara-
tons.

Home Guard Company to Disband.

Orders were received Wednesday
morning by the officers Of the local
home guard company from the office
of the adjutant general at Jefferson
City, ordering the disbandment of
that organization. While the Ma
tional guard was taken out OF the
state and into the Federal service
about two years ago, it left the state
without any sort of soldiery and
home guard companies were or
ganized to serve until the return Of
the troops from France, and now as
the larger part of the troops are
home the emergency being passed
the home guards will be disbanded.
Since the Butler company has been
organized they have twice been
called on by the officers of the law
10 assist in the capture of criminals.
Once when a young lady telegraph
operator was assaulted at Athol, and
1eain when the barn OF A. c. Edring-
tcr, III the northeast part Of the
county was burned, presumably by
iuceadiaries, they were called out to
.Aasist in trailing the guilty parties.

Better Train Service Wanted.

The newspapers published in some
of the towns along the Nevada OPP
lin division of the Missouri Pacific
are advocating the starting Of a con-
certed effort to bring ABOUT an I'M
proved passenger train service on
this division. When trains were TAX
.en off on account of the demands
OF war service there was no objec-
ton but now that the war is over the
patrons of the road feel that they are
entitled to passenger service that is
at least partially commensurate with
the patronage the road receives.
The commercial clubs and citizens
generally in the towns on the divis-
ion should take UP this matter and
send strong delegations to St. Louis
to confer with the managing officials
O fthe Missouri Pacific. If the Mis-
souri, Pacific officials cannot put the
trains back into the service they can
at least arrange the schedules of the
present trains so that a Nevadan can
go somewhere and get back without
Sacrificing so mitch time as is now
necessary.-Nevada Mail. 49,.

Now comes the call to all patri-

action preparatory to the event
Of the new Victory Loan, by re-
moving from their property all
old posters and other patriotic
drives" and campaign" which
have served their purpose.
The idea is to remove these re.
mih&ers Of pastactivities SO there
will enothins to interfere, with
the Airectness of theappeal to be
made for the new loan. Thous.
an4s ct old posters used in vari-
ouS campaigns in the past three
months are still visible, tattered
and discolored on buildings, in
windows and on fences through
outIthe country. Now is the time
to bet rid Of the old and make
wat for the new.

United WarWork campaign which
represented the Y. M. G. A., Y.

tidh That these organizations will
beglad to have their old posters
removed in order that the appeal
Of HE next loan may have a clear

boys come back from the camps
and from overseas, they bring
JOY and gladness to our hearts;
we love to see their ruddy cheeks
and to sit at their feet and have
them tell US of their experience.
But all the while our thoughts
keep going across the waters to a
little mound in France that marks
the sleeping place Of one who will
never come back. As the moist.
ure gathers over our eyes, we
brush it away and say: "Thy
will, Oh Lord, be DONE"
