FAR-REACHING IMPERIAL AM
NESTIES BLOCK RE-
FORM

MUNICH, Feb. SIN the midst
of his bitter fight with war profit
GERS and those who sell food
through forbidden channels the
Bavarian government has found
itself very seriously hampered by
imperial amnesties, particularly by
one issued in Berlin on Dec. 8.
This amnesty was so fa%r-reaching
and comprehensive that it freed
virtually everyone who had been
locked up for anything short of a
capital crime. 1t was an amnesty
for all crimes against military law,
the punishment for which did not
exceed a certain number of years
of incarceration.
The ministry of justice is now
making every effort to have enact
ed a new set of laws, particularly
aimed at p~rofiteering and the un-
Just division and distribution of
foodstuffs, which shall not be eff
fected by any amnesties that may
be issued in the future.
AS the situation now stands it
will take little short of the death
penalty that was proposed for
profiteers recently to put a stop to
the practice, so long as the Berlin
politicians regularly and system
~atically annul with their amnesties
the most conscientious work of the
courts.

GERMANS ATTEMPT
TO WRITE FRIENDS
IN UNITED STATES
TRY TO USE MAIL SERVICE OF
THE AMERICAN
ARMY I.

COBLENZ, Feb. s.. = Thousands
of residents of Coblenz have rela-
tives or friends in the United
States and during the first few
weeks of American occupation
there was a line of Germans every
day at the army postoffice with
letters for those across the Allan
tic. The Germans had gained the
false impression that they could
communicate with people in the
United States by use of the army's
mail service.
The residents of Coblenz and
other towns in this vicinity con-
tinued to stream into the United
States branch postoffice each day
in such numbers that eventually,
at the request of the authorities,
notices were published in the Ger
man newspapers explaining that
no German mail was being received
for the United States. Americans
of the army of occupation are not
allowed to use the German mails
for communication with enemy
subjects residing either within or
without the occupied zone.

FIRE CHI VILLAGE TO
Be REBUILT BY
AUSTRALIA
GRAVES OF COMMONWEALTH
SOLDIERS WILL BE
PRESERVED

MELBOURNE, Feb. 6. The
visit here of General Paul Pau and
the French war mission which he
headed has resulted in a move
ment to raise funds in Australia
to rebuild the French village of
Pozieres. 1t was at this place
that Australian troops were first
engaged upon a large scale on the
western front and it is said that
more of Australia's sons lie there
than anywhere else on French soil.
General Pau charged himself
while here with the formation in
France of a permanent committee
to identify, preserve and adorn the
graves of Australian soldiers in
France.
The mission has inquired into
the possibilities of trade between
France and Australia and also en-
deavored to discover whether Aus
tralia could provide n methods
which might be applied in the So
Geological reconstruction of France.
About the time General Pau left
for France by way of New Zealand,
two socialist members of the
French mission, Paul Thompson
and Adolpf Hodee, who was delay
ed, arrived at Sydney bringing
greetings from the French social
lists and to investigate Australian
social legislation.

TOWN TEAM Wins
BASKETBALL GAME

Both the girls games and the
boys games of basketball played
at the high-schOol gymnasium on
Saturday night were well received
and everyone who attended was
we'll pleased with the exhibition.
The game between the high
school boys was fast and much
better than anticipated from the
amount of practice the boys had.
The town team took the honors by
a score of SO to Is.
The town teams advantage lay
in the fact that three of their men
were old high-school men who an
derstood the game thoroughly. The
team work between Captain Duffy
and Dickson of the town team
was the main feature of the game.
The high-school hopes to meet
the town team again on Washing
tons birthday, when they promise
to reverse the score.
The girls furnished a good inter
class game as a preliminary to the
game between the high-school boys
and the town team and the result
was a score of 4 to 3 in favor of
the freshmen-junior team.

OWNERS OF
SOUTHERN nEv.
MEET HERE
ASSOCIATION SHOWS Crafty
ING MEMBERSHIP IN
CREASE

The first annual meeting of the
Southern Nevada Cattle Owners
association was held in the Gold
field hotel on Saturday, % mem
bers of the association being rep
resented at the meeting. One year
ago the association was organized
here to represent the cattle inter-
ests of the southern part of the
state and, principally, to end
small cattle thefts, at that time a
great leak in the industry. 1t was
predicted that the organization
would prosper and hat this has
been the case was proved by the
report of the secretary, showing an
increase in membership since or
ganization of IS, or from 80 to As
members.
During the year. according to
the report of the secretary, the as
ISOLATION was instrumental in Sc
curing two convictions on larceny
charges and at the meeting Satur-
day the association members dis
cussed at length the Clark county
case in which John Esser is
charged with the theft of cattle
from Wilson Brothers of Clark
county, members of the associa-
ton. H. r. Cook, a Tonopah at
torney, was retained to aid in the
prosecution of Esser on behalf of
the organization. The members
consider this a particularly glaring
case of cattle stealing and, with
the hearty cooperation of A. J.
Stebenne, district attorney of Clark
county, everything possible is be-
ing done to secure a conviction, as
a warning to cattle thieves through
out the district in which the asso-
citation operates. The case is set
for trial on March 10.
Many other subjects of import
ance to the industry were discussed
and during the meeting it was
shown that beef cattle in the Unit
ed States showed an increase of
practically 1,O00,0 900 head during
the past year. The decrease in
Italy was IA per cent. in France
II per cent and there was a slight
decrease in Great Britain. Sheep
increased in the United States
about 100000 head.
The members also discussed at
length the years business as re-
ported by the executive committee.
Officers for the ensuing year
we're elected and remained prac-
tically the same as during the past
year. The officers for next year
are j. B. Humphrey of Goldfield,
president; c. w. Love of Alamo,
l.. P. Kimball of Pioneer, David

ers of Round Mountain and George

Chicago, Dec. 6-Train service out

The order, which was directed to

service, customary TO care for the

railroad officials were instructed to

Washington, Dec. 6.-An increase in
miners wages described as greater

been decided to advance the rates per

result in giving the machine miners a
rate of around 81 cents per ton, and
the pick miners a rate of around 1854
cents, though 1t necessarily would vary
in all fields.
Reports of miners drifting back 10
