Boys and girls are herded indis-

Kolma school a youth of IS was
appointed commissioner of the in

teachers. On one occasion he
closed the school for a week as a
protest against the action of the
master who had reprimanded a pu-

lar he is promptly elected by the

be a novelty at the peace confer

mier venizelos Of Greece never
fails to attract great crowds. At
the hotel where the American del
egatfon is housed and at the for

is always heralded by the arrival
of one of his Creton soldiers array
ed more brilliantly than a comic
opera bandit.
The Cretons who escort the
Greek statesmen are all more than
six feet tall and apparently have
been chosen from various organiza-
tions, as a different man appears
daily, and the same uniform is
never seer twice. The swarthy
Cretons all have small waxed mus

and stand rigidly at attention for
hours while awaiting M. Venizelos

foreign office. The jibes of the

allied soldiers who gather
in wonderment never seem to dis
turb the imperturbable Cretons.
Perhaps the most startling uni
form worn by one of the guards
consisted of white tights bound by
tasselled black silk cords at the
knees, a red velvet blouse and
sash, a red fec surmounted by a
black silk tassel so long that 1t
falls below the waist, and black
sandals with upturned toes topped
by great black silk pompoms: This
costume vas completed by an ivory
handled knife two feet long thrust
carelessly into the sash.
The knives and swords worn by
the Cretons are the chief feature
of the uniforms and make collec-
tors of antique weapons envious-
They are of all sizes and shapes
and have sheaths of great splendor,
carved in a marvellous manner.
Some of the guards are bare
kneed and have costumes not UNI
like the Scotch in style, but much
gaudier in color.

Secrecy

LONDON, Mar. Il. secrecy
surrounds the operations of the
1rillers who have discovered oil in
Derbyshire. There seems to be no
doubt, however, that oil in consid-
cradle quantities has been found,
and the drillers believe they are
about to open an important field.
One well has been completed on
the estate of the duke of Devon
shire and other wells are being
drilled as rapidly as possible. 9th
er wells, it was announced here
today, are to be drilled in Stafford
shire and Nottinghamshire.
A correspondent of the Leeds
Mercury declared that he had been
informed by leading British geolc.
gists that they believed more oil
would be found in England than
had come from the wells of western
Pennsylvania.
Dependent as England has been
for fuel upon it's coal fields and the
vagaries of it's miners, which more
than once has threatened to pre-
c;pitate an industrial crisis, the
discovery of oil has excited more
than usual interest.

NEVADA WAR SAVINGS
QUOTA IS FIXED
FOR THIS YEAR
$50. 900 WORTH OF STAMPS AL.
LOTTED TO ESMER-
AIDA

Nevada's war savings quota for
1919 is set at $1,143,450, instead
of the previously announced figure
of $1,1S4,000, according to tele-
graphic advices from the federal
Reserve bank for this district to
Fred l.. White, director of saw
ings.
This new figure" said Mr..
White, "is based upon careful tab
ulations of population, bank depos-
it's and on subscriptions to the four
Liberty loans and the 1918 issue
of War Savings Stamps.
1.-THE sum which we must raise
this year is smaller by nearly half
a million dollars than our actual
sales last year when the idea OF
savings stamps was new to our
people and a great many other war
activities were taxing the incomes
of Nevadans.
"This thing is easy. We wanted
victory; we got it; now let's pay
for it. One more Victory loan
and this just allotment of stamps
and the thing is done, in Nevada's
usual way of doing things. Every
citizen of this state is a commit
tee of one to see that his family
his neighbors and his community
go over the top in the last blood
less battle of the war, which is not
ended until the score is paid"
Esmeralda's quota is $4,000.

OMSK, Siberia, Mar. %. =
Wholesale assassinations were con-
Quoted by the Red guard in the
village of Troisky, neal Perm, when
the Bolsheviki were driven out of
the latter place by the Siberian
army, say officials of the all-Rus-
sian government. Practically ev-
erybody known to be educated or
regarded as intellectual was ar
rested and either shot or stabbed
to death. The victims include a
leading agriculturalist named Sou
voroff, a roman physician named
Kalfkowa, a police justice, the
aged sister of a priest, and an en-
ploye of the forestry administra-
ton and his wife.
Incidents of this kind are de-
clared to be frequent throughout
the districts occupied or evacuated
by the Bolsheviki. Admiral Kol-
chalk, the temporary governor for
the Omsk all-Russian government,
and other leading officials point
out that the Bolshevik movement
has entirely lost its original char
acter and has degenerated into
wild license and cruelty, trying to
exterminate all those who work
with their brain as against those
who labor with their hands, de-

stroying ruthlessly every vestige
of national order before dreaming
of replacing it with any kind of
system or organization.
The general verdict in Siberia to
day is that If humanity does not
stamp out Bolshevism, Bolshevism
will crush humanity and everything
that is sacred and peaceful in the
world, for Bolshevism is regarded
as an international danger and not
alone a Russian danger.
To check this danger of Bolshev-
TX supremacy the all-Russian gov
eminent at Omsk has called upon
the other political groupings and
governments of Siberia and of the
territory conquered from the Boil
sheviki to unite in a nationwide
attempt to crush terrorism and
then to rebuild a lasting Russia.
The impression exists here that
the Omsk government is the most
serious and most solid effort to
rebuild Russia, and that If the
spirit Of patriotism of the people
is aroused and induced to rally
round it, it will prove the nucleus
of some great Russian government
in the future.

EXHIBIT
PRODUCTS AT BIG
FAIR IN LONDON
GREAT NUMBER OF CLEVER
TOYS ON DIS
PLAY

LONDON, Mar. "a. = British
manufacturers made their best
bow this week to the merchants OF
the world through the fifth annual
exposition of the British industries
fair. The Pennington street house
of the London docks is filled with
exhibits of china, glass, fancy
goods, paper and toys from $40
factories, and it is expected these
exhibits will be visited by thou
sands of merchants from all parts
of the world.
1t is a purely British institution.
and none but British manufactur-
ers are allowed to show their
wares. The first purpose of the
fair is to obtain business for
British factories. All sorts of
things are displayed, from the most
expensive to the cheapest.
The toy section is a revelation.
Once they said in Great Britain
German children make what
British children break" but no
more, if one is to judge by the
endless variety of toys shown in
the fair. There are airplanes.
rigid Zeppelins, automobiles, games
by the dozen, whole families of
dolls, fluffy dogs and china cats.
In short, everything calculated to
delight the child is there. Once
a.,out all the toys they had came
from Germany. Even now some of
|t.iern come from Japan.
Every buyer is the guest of the
board of trade, under whose direc-
ton the fair is held, and each n
is treated with the utmost courtsy.
Eighty thousand invitations were
issued for the fair, and to the
present the attendance has been
all that the promoters expected.
Last years fair was successful to
a marked degree, resulting in or
ders amounting to $1,000, 900. This
year, because of the inroads made
on German trade, the business is
expected to be even greater.

Mty|CAAS PLANNING
BULL FIGHT REVIVAL
BULL RING AT MATAMOROS
MAY BE RECON-
STRUCTED

BROWNSVILLE, Tex. Mar. 81.
A revival of bull fighting is
planned by residents of some of
the Mexican states along the bor-
der.
Reports say the people of Mata-
moros, across the Rio Grande
from here, are arranging for re-
construction of the famous bull
ring there and have applied to
the governor of Tamualipas for
authority to proceed. 1t is planned
10 hold a bull fight in a temporary
arena on May g., the anniversary
oe the victory of Mexican arms
ever the French at Puebla.
Bull fighting at Matamoros was
discontinued six years ago. The
arena, one of the finest in the re-
public, was destroyed by Carranza's
adherents when Matamoros was
taken by the forces under General
BIanco. The federal forces made
their last stand in the bull ring.
Bull fights were abolished in
the republic by decree of General
Carranza as soon as he became
president. Later the governors of
the respective states were permit
ted to allow or prohibit the fights.
Years ago many Americans were
attracted to bull fights in the towns
across the border and the rail-
roads gave reduced rates.

resentatives of many American
banking and commercial institu-

because Of the growing interest in
Copenhagen as the center of bust
mes between Scandinavian u
tries and the United States.
A number of important Ameri-

interest is being taken by press
and people in their enterprises.
"The free port of Copenhagen
is of the greatest interest to the
United States" said E. B. Filsing-

Scandinavia, but because it is go

Hamburg, if indeed Hamburg will

The searchers for Scotty's mine
returned yesterday and did not
have the mine with them, which
was a great disappointment, as ev-
eryone was confident they would
bring the bonanza back with them.
Some of them talked with the mys-
FERROUS one at his ranch, but he
did not know of the excitement his
mine had caused. The searchers
went to the west side of Tin noun
tain and heard that other search
ers were on the east side. 1t is
thought the party on the east side
found the mine and that if the
Goldfield men had been on the
east side some party on the west
side would have run onto the mys-
terry. Such is life while chasing
rainbows in Death valley.
