ANOTHER VIEWPOINT
|. OF WILSON'S SPEECH
Especial Correspondence


RENO, Nevada. September %, 9p.m.
The President of the United States
is speaking In Reno now. / left the
Rialto theater five minutes ago, when
Mr.. Wilson was just starting his ora
torical stride, with "One hundred
years ago today" etc. This was not
the beginning of his speech, but her
aided the formal part of it, The Presi-
dent made some exceedingly graceful
remarks after being introduced, and
complimentary they were to Nevada
and the frontier" as our governor
had denominated it. You will all read
the speeches in tomorrow's daily
newspapers, so I need not go further
with them.
Charles s. Chandler, who followed
Governor Boyle as the formal intro
ductory speaker, declared he is Re
publican, but is for the League of Ma
tions; he denied the authority. he
said, of a small number of United
States senators" to commit the Repub-
lican party to policy Of opposition to
the league. He said the President is
party to policy of opposition to The
league. He said the President is
Democrat, but we al belong to one
party-which is the party which Il
for" the United States. At this
Woodrow himself applauded.
Mr.. Chandler declared he was go
ing to introduce Mrs. Wilson as well
as the President, and he did so: he
introduced her first. in fact. The
first lady of the land" cried Mr.
Chandler. "and her husband. the hon
orable"-but his voice was drowned
with cheers and laughter. Mrs. Viii
son laughed, too, and sat down, an
the introducer continued, "The Presi
dent of the United States!"
Mr.. Wilson was somewhat awk
wardly placed a way back from the
footlights. in order that the loud
talking phones might be properly
supplied with tones of his voice. A
space which looked about a.. yard
square had been chalked off for him.

Of all classes of taxable property in

Shober J. Rogers. the newly ap-
pointed member OF the tax commits
sion, is supervising the formation of
the new schedule.
Assessors who objected to the rec
concentrations in the committee re-
port last week raised the point that
the horizontal increase should be ap-
piled to all classes of property and
not restricted to land.
In discussing the question of pro-
posed increases and what has trans
pired before the state board of equali-
zation at it's present session, ]. F..
Shaughnessy, who has been acting as
chairman of the board during the abb
sence of Governor Boyle. said yester-
day:
1T has been reported that the land
interests are organizing to overthrow
the twenty per cent increases placed

AMERICAN POSED AS
GENERAL ON RHINE

Lieutenant III. B. Moody, who ar
rived in Elko Saturday from San
Francisco where he was discharged
from the army a week ago, will re
main there and go into business with
his brother, G. w. Moody in the
Chevrolet Auto Company. Lieutenant
Moody saw much active service over
seas, winning much distinction in his
twenty-five months service, being
decorated by the French and received
two mentions by his superior officers
in the American Army.
He was with the first American
troops sent to France and saw active
service with the French army, and
went "over the top" with them sew
eral times, at one time carrying back
two wounded Frenchmen through
heavy barrages for which he was
decorated by the French. He was
fortunate in that he was at all times
assigned to active duty on the ex-
treme front and altogether went
over the top" sixty times, and was
uninjured, but was gassed while with
the French, says the Elko Free Press.
In the last few days of the war he
was with the army in the drive on
the Meuse river, and the night be-
fore the armistice, was given forty
men and ordered to build bridge
across the Meuse under a direct ma
chine gun fire. when but nine of the
forty escaped death.
He was with the first Americans to
enter Germany, and tells many anus
ing stories of how the American sold
iers put it over" the Germans. AT
one place when the American troops
arrived. they found two American
marines who had been there for a
week posing as American generals
and getting away with it. They were
stopping at the most expensive hotel
and had chartered a private train to
take them out OF town, their bill
amounting to 1000 marks. They often
found castles that had been taken
over by some enterprising American
private. who would pose as an officer
and live off the fat of the land until
discovered and sent back to their
companies. These men were known
as "A. W. o. LIS" absent without
leave, and some of the stunts they
pulled were amusing beyond de-
scription.
Lieutenant Moody is like all the
soldiers who have had the experience
in the great battles-when asked to
talk, talks all right. but only on
generalities, and fights shy of telling
his personal experiences on the
battlefelds.
