LET SICK MAN DIE
Huns Fail to Provide Medicine for
Yankee.
Prisoner Is Victim of Pneumonia and
Is Buried With Nine
Others

Winchester, England.-Due to the
fact the Germans failed to provide
medicine or proper hospital facilities
at Camp Tuchel, West Prussia, John
81. Kohl of Woodhaven, n. Y, died
from pneumonia after the armistice
was signed, according to Joseph r.
Dennen Of Trenton, n. J. Dennen was
of the Six Hundred and Forty-second
American Ambulance unit and like
wise prisoner at Tuchel.
"Kohl of Company G, One Hundred
and Sixth infantry, was captured Sep
TENDER q after twice being wounded
in the knee" said Dennen. "Kohl
later developed pneumonia through ex-
posure. The Germans gave US only
two blankets and a small quantity of
coke for our fire. I gave Kohl one
of my blankets and we put two pairs
of socks on his feet and spread shirts
and such extra clothing as we had on
his bed to make up for the deficiency
in blankets. There were two Ameri-
can doctors in the camp-Lieut. John
S. Abbott of ST. Paul, Mimi, and Lieut..
Joseph P. Burke of Pittsburgh, Pa
and they did all they could, but could
not obtain any medicine.
''Kohl died November Is. The Ger
mans stripped the body and placed it
in an ordinary box which they left
outside the barracks for seven hours
before burial. Four Americans and
two Frenchmen carried him to the
grave. When other Americans tried
to accompany the body the guards
forced them back. The American doc
tors, however, pushed the guards
aside and ran through the cemetery
gate, getting to the grave just as the
coffin was lowered. Kohl was the
only American to be buried in a Gem
etery holding $4,000 Russians and Rou-
manians.
'Nine Russians were buried in the
one grave with Kohl. I tied an iden-
LITIGATION disk to his wrist before bur-
ial After the burial the Germans
stuck up cross which read: Mine

FRENCH ANDCzECHS
ARE NEAR BUDAPEST
Attack City OF Waitzen, 20 Miles
From the Capital.
CIVILIANS LEAVE ON foot
SIXTY Thousand Allied Troops Join in
March-EnScnte Powers Have
Large Force Ready to Aid
the Roumanians.

Geneva, Switzerland, April 3d.
CZechoSlovaks have attacked the city
Of WaitZen, 20 miles northeast Of Bud
apest, which is expected to fall soon.
French troops are said to be aiding the
Roumanians in their advance in east
eTn Hungary, according to advices re-
ceived here from Vienna.
AS the Roumanians advance thou
sands Of people are leaving Budapest
on foot and carrying their baggage,
rs there are no trains or vehicles, &C
cording to statement by the 4ou-
manian bureau at Berne. Five thou
sand women at Budapest have met
and protested against the soviet gov
eminent and bolshevism.
The statement says that after the
visit of Gen. Franchet d'Esperey to
Budapest recently Roumanian troops
were ordered to resume the offensive
against Hungary which had been sus-
pended during the stay of General

Hungary Closes All Borders.
Berlin, April 26.-Hungary has her
metically closed all her borders in an
effort to control the ROumanian in
VasiOn and prevent unfavorable news
from escaping from the country. Re-
ports from Budapest therefore are con-
Trajectory, but all indicate the situa-
ton is grave.
The days Of the soviet government
are perhaps numbered. The entente
powers are said to have 10000 colonial
troops In NeusatZ, which are advanc-
ing as q ROumanian reserve. The
CZechs are believed to be preparing
TO attack. The people Of Transyl-
gania have revOlted and are advanc-

the agrarian measures imposed by the
soviet regime.
A panic is said to reign in Buda-
pest, where the communist authOri-

resting scores of the bOurgeoisie.
Thousands of the citizens are fleeing,
according to reports.
The Budapest police have begun a
counter-revOlutionary movement, but II
is said that all involved have been ar.

ing for the front unwillingly, having in
mind the experience of their comrades
who caDituIated to the ROumanianS.
Asks Entente for Armistioe.
The Lokal Anzeiger's Vienna cor.
respondent says the Hungarian soviet
government requested the entente mis-.

GETTING POTASH FROM MARL
New Jersey Shore Farms Take Big
Jump in Value Since Pro-
iect Started.

Shrewsbury, N. J.-Owners of farms
along the shore having mari under the
soil are being offered big acreage
prices for their land, it is said, by COM
panies organized to mine the mari for
the potash it contains.
The war cut off the potash supply
from Germany and the quantity that
was stored in this country has been
exhausted. A satisfactory process has
been found to extract the potash and
make it cost much less than has here
tofore been paid for it abroad.
Some of the farms are bringing hun
dreds of dollars an acre. The Charles
McCue form, near here, of 40 acres,
sold for $4,000.

THREAT WAS MADE
BY ITALIAN ENJOYS
Wilson Forced to Issue a Statement
on Fiume, Says a Paris
Dispatch.

Paris, April 2S.-Mot only three days,
but full fortnight, prior to the issu-
ance of his statement on the Fiume
question, President Wilson read 1t to
Premier Lloyd George and Premier
Clemenceau, and both absolutely ap-
proved it.
This flat assertion was made to your
correspondent by one of the highest
placed American peace officials who
is close in the presidents confidence.
Frank Indignation was expressed in
official quarters OvQE the continued eff
French to convince the world that
C1emenceau and Lloyd George were
surprised by President Wilson's Adj
Ratio statement
My informant declared that unless
these efforts are promptly checked the
president will officially lay all the facts
before the whole world. The official
continued:
"President Wilson withheld the is
suance of his statement until the Ital-
lOllo ISSuCu a IlINdI, tlIIouSh tilCll hu-
thorized spokesman, that they intend
ed Withdrawing from the peace confer
ence and make separate peace.
"Lloyd George aNd Clemenceau, be-
ing signatOries to the pact of London,
naturally could not sign the Wilson
, statement. Now, because Lloyd
Georges personal newspaper organs
are denOuncing the president, he is
trying to shift his position.
''It is an excellent thing for the
American people to know that at no
time have Lloyd George and Gle
menceau co-operated with the presi.
dent in Fastening the negotiations.
"Only when the president ordered
the steamer George Washington back
to Brest did the French and British
agree to hurry up the negotiations.
You cannot too emphatically declase
that the president will not submit to
shameful compromises in order to Sc
cure a peace agreement. When the
present negotiations are concluded
whether successfully or nOt-the presi-
dent will make complete report of
his stewardship to the American peO-
pie"

THEY GOT WATER AND COFFEE
All Because One of Their Comrades
Knew Whole Lot About
Mules.

Paris.-There are few people who
can understand the temperamental
disposition Of a mule much less cope
with it. Corporal Bert L. Jennings,
Jr., of the Marine corps could do both.
AS a consequence he and Sergeant
Claude A. Miller were able to furnish
an exhausted battalion of men with
hot coffee and give them strength to
clinch their victory in the Chateau
Thierry sector.
1t was on a night near the end of
the war that Jennings and Miller
braved the torrent Of a German bar
rage and drove two carts Of water
and hot coffee through the clouds of
poison gas and bursting shells to the
Second battalion of the Fifth marines,
who were holding a section of Belleau
wood against a terrific German coun-
ter-attack.
They brought the first load through
safely and were about to return for
more when a shell fragment cut the
harness of one of the mules and he
escaped. Jennings started in pursuit
but the animal seemed to fear him and
would not let him approach. Then the
freckle-faced farm lad from Wiscon-
sin realized that it was his gas mask
that frightened the mule. Despite the
poisonous gas heavy about him, he
drew deep breath, jerked the mask
from his face and approached the ami
NAL, which Immediately recognized
him and submitted to control. Then
he replaced his mask and the corporal
and sergeant continued to carry out
their perilous mission.

ALLIES ADOPT NEW
PEACE AGREEMENT
Japan'S Contention on Race Issue
Is withdrawn.
FRENCH ALSO AGREE TO PACT
Covenant Was Moved by President
Wilson and Not More Than Mo-
ment Was Consumed in Its
Adoption by Conference.

Paris, April 29.-The revised COW
enant of the league of nations was
adopted by the plenary session Of the
peace conference without division and
without amendment. The covenant
had been moved by President Wilson.
The president said it was not neces-
Sary to emphasize the significance of
the great covenant and the hopes en-
tertained that conference of the free
nations of the world would maintain
justice in their international relations
and peace between the nations.
Japs Quit Fight.
The Japanese and French amend
ments were withdrawn and it is under
stood they have been left for decision
by the league of nations itself.
The text Of the labor principles for
insertion in the treaty was adopted,
and the conference adjourned without
considering responsibilities.
President Wilson, in his speech eX-
planning the revised covenant of the
league of nations, said that Sir Eric
Drummond of Great Britain had been
named as the first secretary general
of the league.
Sir Eric Drummond has been private
secretary to A. J. BalfOur, the British
foreign secretary, since December,
1916 Previously he had served Sir
Edward (now Viscount) Gray in the
same capacity, while Sir Edward was
foreign secretary. From March, 1912,
to June, 1915, he was private secretary
to Herbert II. Asquith, then the Brit
ish premier.
Regarding the composition of the eX-
ecutive council, the president said that
Belgium, Brazil, Greece and Spain
would be represented on the council
in addition to the five great powers
until a permanent choice had been
made.
Presentation of the amended league
of nations covenant by President Will
son marked the opening of the session.
The president then explained the vari-
Gus alterations.
The president moved that the pow
ers name representatives to form a
committee of nine to prepare plans to
organize the league and establish the
seat of the league.
Maxine Asks Equality.
Baron Maxine of the Japanese dele
cation spoke after President Wilson
and said he regretted that the presi-
dents speech had not been translated.
He then moved the Japanese amend
ment on racial equality.
He said it was race question, with
the possibility of becoming acute. The
equality Of nations he ,ascribed, should
be a fundamental principle of the
league.
The Japanese statesman added that
he felt it his duty to state the poignant
regret of the Japanese delegation over
the failure of the league of nations
committee to do justice to the Jap
anese demand which was based on a
deep-rooted national conviction.
Japan, he added, was obliged to re-
vert to her original position on this
question.
Leon Bourgeois, former premier,
spoke for France. He said that the
French amendments to the league, in
Guiding a demand for a national ARMY
and police force and the limitation and
yerification of ornaments Of all ma
lions, had not been adopted.
France, however, would sign the
pact, NJ Bourgeois said.

MAKES BIG PURCHASE OF
CATTLE In LANDER COUNTY

Burt Downing and e. A. Perez, BUSH
ness men of Lovelock, returned TO
Battle Mountain Monday evening from
the southern part of Lander county,
where they purchased in the neigh
borhood of three hundred head of cat
tie from the Lister ranches and from
Joe Eason.
1t was necessary to drive the cattle
to Battle Mountain for shipment be-
cause of the inadequate supply of
stock cars on the Nevada Central.
The cattle arrived in Battle Noun
tain Tuesday and were shipped that
evening owe the Southern Pacific to
Lovelock.
In the neighborhood of 200 head
Of sheep belonging to John Hickison
also reached Battle Mountain Tues
day forenoon. The sheep were trailed
from the ranges east of Austin. This
shipment also could have been made
yer the N. c. had their been sufficient
cars to handle the animals.
Hickison disposed of one carload
of the sheep, which were yearling
wethers, to E. A. Perez, and they were
shipped to Lovelock. The remainder
of the band was sold to Fred Stubel,
purchasing agent for C. ]. Johnson,
a wholesale butcher of San Francisco.
The wethers were shipped to the
Coast Wednesday evening.-[Battle

case of foreigners, who understand
not our ways. and whose ways are
not understood by US, IL due atten-
ton be given to the arrogant thought
concerning them, 1t is not surprising
that they frequently revolt. Seldom
does a body of men of any nationality
go out of its way to seek conflict with
either people or methods of this or
any other adopted country. This is
more true of those whom we call
aliens" than of the so-called "Ameri-
can citizen"
The Tonopah-Div strike. like
most strikes, is to be deplored. But
nothing appears definitely as the cause
of the strike. To continue asking the
public of this country, year after year,
to believe that wage-workers strike
lust because" is too much. Likewise
it is past belief that vicious and I'M
principled "agitators" can walk into
any sort of community of workingmen
and foment a strike almost at a mo-
ment's notice. 1t is ascribing too lit
tie intelligence to the miner, or the
railroad man, or any other class of
workers. Some men, who are not
strikers or workers, are frequently
getting rich because of strikes.

THE PLAIN,
EVERYDAY WOMAN

Recently we hurrahed for the plain
everyday man, who did not set the
world on fire or play to the galleries,
but who provided for his family and
did his work we'll, obeyed the laws,
held up his head as IN honest, God
fearing, Woodworking citizen, and
brought home the bacon" This mans
mate does not head any parades nor
preside over conventions, but she
keeps her home tidy and rears her
children to a manhood and woman
hood that entities her to praise.
The plain, everyday woman does
not make public speeches o write
for the press, but her husband is
happy and glad to have her cheer him
on the way. She can't sing grand
opera nor dance the s%erpentine wig
gle, but her little tots are dressed
neatly, and their noses are kept wiped,
and they are started off for school
like bright little morning-glories; and
nuSDand mas a few buttons on his
shirt and pants"
She does not hurl any suffragette
bombs, but she presides over the
home; in fact, she is the home, for
without her there would be no home,
and without the home the world
would not be worth living in.
The home, the Preside, the wife and
mother, the ~husbandly and wifely re-
l~ations, and all those environments,
are all that go to make life bearable.
The remainder is but the froth, or
the dregs, as the case may be. The
plain. everyday man, and the plain.
everyday woman, are the corner
stones and foundations to the whole
structure.
