The king Of Greece was still alive at
this writing, but his condition was so
serious that preparations for the sue
cession were being made. In Athens
it was understood that, if Alexander
should die, the throne would be offered
to his brother Paul, but with such con-
ditions that he would not accept it.
Then, presumably, it will be offered to
a foreign prince, and if he refuse the
republic will be proclaimed.

Feeling that the League of Nations
is not yet strong enough to insure their
safety, and determined that the house
of Hapsburg shall not be restored to
the throne of Hungary, the Czecho-Slo-
walks, Bohemians and Jugo-Slavs have
entered into an agreement for mutual
offense and defense, which is already
known as the ''little entente" They
assert their league is primarily peace
full and defensive, but admit they haye
made provisions for a military force If
that is necessary.

Baron Wrangel, who is sustaining
the full force Of the Russian soviet at
tacks in southern Russia, met with a
severe reverse in the region Of Kak-
hovka bridgehead and his troops were
thrown back into the Taurida behind
the Dnieper river, which they still con-
troll 1t was reported that Leon Trotz-
ky himself was directing the move
ments of the Ped army there. On
other fronts Wrangel was successful
and he was informed by many prison
ers that the Red armies would not be
able to go through another winter cam
paign, being without shoes, clothing
and stores of food. Dispatches from
Constantinople say the American Red
Cross has given to General Wrangel
about $2,OOO,OOO worth of relief ma
terial and is sending him 100000 tons
of supplies week. The reports that
Maxine, the guerrilla leader, had de-
serted Wrangel turn out to be false.
On the other hand, Moscow admits
that General Budenny, former cavalry
leader of the Bolsheviki, has deserted
the soviet cause and is operating
against the government in the neigh
borhood of Kiev.

Secretary of the Treasury Houston,
in an address before the American
Bankers association in Washington,
gave the country warning that there is
little chance that taxes will be re-
duced, because receipts from income
and profits taxes are decreasing. In
order to meet current bills, including
interest on sinking fund charges, said
the secretary, and also to retire the
floating Indebtedness and a consider
able part of the Victory notes before
the close of the fiscal year 1923, tax re-
ceipts must be kept up to the level OIL
not less than $4,000 100000 year. Mr..
Houston said that on the basis of pres
ent diminishing receipts the total for
the fiscal year 1921 may not materially
exceed that figure.
There is little immediate prospect OF
the payment of the war debt Of foreign
nations, according to Mr.. Houston, but
he said he did not believe the people
would receive with favor the PROPOSE
ton to cancel that debt, since they
would have to pay taxes to meet the
interest and redeem the principal Of
$1OOOO,O00,000.
Discussing the general credit situa-
ton, Mr.. Houston said the farmers are
naturally disturbed and distressed"
but are seeking relief through meas
ures, some of which are not practical

Small savers are to be the chief

The conduct of American affairs in
Haiti has been the subject of much
heated discussion, and charges of Gin
discriminate killing of natives by the
marines, made in report by Major
General Barnett, former commandant
Of the corps, led Secretary Daniels to
summon a court of inquiry. General
Barnett now says the matter involves
only small portion of the marine
corps on duty in Haiti, and That In
general the marines have done their
duty splendidly. Admiral Knapp, who
has studied conditions In Haiti for Sec
rotary Daniels, says American inter
yention in the island republic should
continue for at least another genera
ton. He admits that perhaps 5000 ma
tives have been killed in necessary OPP
erations since American occupation,
but denies that any were killed deliD-
erately or wantonly.

ment was leaving the door open for an
early settlement of the trouble. He
was preceded by William Brace, presi'
dent elect of the miners, who pleaded
for permanent peace and made these
proposals for settlement:
First, grant Of 2 shillings daily raise
in pay, subject to review of the whole
financial position of the mines at the
end Of the year.
Second, establish district committees
In all districts to deal with the ques-
ton of increased output, comprising
both miners and owners.
Third, before December 81 establish
national wage board Of the mining
industry on principles to be agreed
upon to settle all wage disputes.
Fourth, establish a joint committee
of miners and owners in the mines de-
partment to settle the question OF
shares of the product of the mines for
the miners and owners and the state.
The premier in response said: IF
the miners accepted the governments
offer of an impartial tribunal to set
tie the two shillings shift question,
all arguments in support of their claim
would be considered, but undoubtedly
the settlement that would best meet
the permanent well being of the nation
would be a settlement which would
promote increased output.
"This would offer to the miners the
inducement of a reward for their own
labor and would certainly work to the
enrichment of the nation by increasing
the output of product which is most
essential to the proper conduct of for
eign trade"
Extremists in the federation urged
that the men left in the mines to OPP
crate the pumps be withdrawn and the
diggings allowed to fill with water, but
the officers of the organization strong
ly opposed this.
The delegates Of the railway men
and transport workers decided that
they would call a strike if promising
negotiations were not under way by
Saturday
Thus far there has not been a great
deal of rioting in connection with the
strike, though there were disorderly
demonstrations in London and in
Wales, usually fostered by radicals
who are believed to be in the, pay of
the Russian Bolshevists. The most
serious outbreak was in Whitehall,
London, where parade of the unem-
ployed tried to break into Downing
street and fought the police.

AMERICAN LEGION
WANTS SANE LIVING

Delegates from every American Le-
gion post in Nevada were assembled
Tuesday at Lovelock for the second
annual convention of the American
Legion, department of Nevada. Fol-
lowing the regular routine business
number of resolutions were adopted
by the convention. The most i'm
portant resolutions, says the Reno
freeing of conscientious objectors and
political prisoners, the advocation of
the return to a basis of economy and
sane living, and asking the national
committee to inform the people of the
United States as to whether the sena-
tors and representatives were full
filing the declarations made before
their election
The resolutisn condemning the
freeing of conscientious directors is
as follows:
Whereas, candidates who an
nounced their candidacy for nomina-
tion for public Office from the state of
Nevada and accompany said an
rouncement with 4 declaration of the
principles for which they stand and
include in said declaration a plank
calling for the release of conscien-
tious objectors and political prisoners,
1T is resolved that such action
would constitute an injustice and an
insult to those dead and to those liv-
ing of the soldiers of this country
who fought for their nations honor.
and, Whereas, the American Legion
is opposed to the release of all con-
scientious objectors and political
prisoners until the expiration of their
prison terms, now, therefore,
BE it resolved that the American
Legion, department of Nevada, in con-
vention assembled, does hereby ex-
press its earnest condemnation Of
such principles and of any candidate
for public Office who sees fit to es-
pouse such principles, and expresses
its determination to defeat at the polls
any such candidate"
The return to sane living basis

lutfons passed:
Whereas, the people of the United
States declared before the armistice
their unequivocal determination to en-

NEW |LL|PAH WELL
SPUDDED IN MONDAY

In the issue of last Saturday, the
Ely Times said:
In less than thirty days from the
date of incorporation Of the Illipah
Petroleum Company, the management
will have spudded in its well and have
begun drilling for oil.
The big drill has been erected
and Notwithstanding many unforeseen
causes for delay, Manager J. E. Amen
da has rushed work along, making
excellent progress.
Amenda returned from the drilling
site Friday evening and expressed
delight with the splendid outlook.
none the less with the progress that
had been made under these delays
and difficulties. He states that in
these times 1t is most difficult to get
tools and materials in general.
But in spite Of all these he will be
back on the ground Monday, starting
to puncture the formation with his
well-equipped plant. Spudding in will
take place at that time, which will be
within the period stated from incor-
poration.
With all the tents and buildings
making up the camp in snow white
color and the landscape surrounding
in deep green, an excellent and restful
contrast is offered by the scheme en-
acted in collaboration of nature and
art.
Amenda states that a remarkably
large number of persons from the
outside are visiting the Iliipah field
and more favorable still are the re-
marks they make upon the excellent
showing for oil developments there.
Naturally. to come the distances that
most of them do, the visitors may be
classified as those having knowledge
of the business, therefore, their YER
diets are not those of novices by any
means.
More emphatic still are they in CIV
ing credit to the management for the
quick and effective work done in
transporting and assembling this
plant and getting ready for drilling
in the time that it has been COM
pleted.

HENDERSON HAD MORE LAND
ADDED TO HUMBOLDT FOREST

For those who may be interested,
one of the last acts of Senator Hen
derson when the Senate was adjourn
ing was to add certain lands to the
Humboldt National Forest. The bill
now reads: BE it enacted, etc., That
any lands within the following de-
scribed areas found by the Secretary
of Agriculture to be chiefly valuable
for the production of timber, the pro-
lection of stream flow, may, with the
approval of the Secretary of the In
terror, be included within and made
part of the Humboldt National Forest
by proclamation of the President. said
lands to be thereafter subject to all
laws affecting national forests: Town

STORY OF BATTLE MOUNTAIN
RACE ACCIDENT OVERDRAWN

The story published in The Silver
State Tuesday concerning an automo-
bile accident at Battle Mountain was
undoubtedly greatly exaggerated and
goes to show how newspaper man
can get on the wrong track once in
awhile The story was written exact
ly as told by a man who said he was
an eye witness to the accident where
in four young men were injured. The
Silver State telegraphed for confirma-
tion of the story, but reply was not
received until too late to rewrite the
article. Instead of being seriously"
hurt, the telegram informed that two
of the young men were suffering from
slight cuts and bruises. The Silver
State cannot be blamed for accepting
the version of the story, and so far
no one has mentioned the matter.
But it's safe to guess when one fact
is exaggerated by person giving a
reporter news, others are bound to be,
and we like to straighten wrong mat
ters out. The story sounded plausible
because rumors were freely passed
around the streets here that Rene
Lemaire died because of the wreck
Today another rumor is afioat that
both the injured men are on the
streets of Battle Mountain.

THIRD PARTY TALK is NOW
WITHOUT A LEG TO STAND ON

According to news dispatches from
San Francisco. Senator Hiram John
son in a statement announced that he
would support the Republican party,
declaring that the "over-shadowing
question in the campaign is whether
we enter the maelstrom of European
Asiatic politics and diplomacy, or
whether America shall live her own
life in her own way with its independ-
ence unfettered." He concludes his
statement by saying that "a candi-
date standing four-square upon the
platform of this issue leaves those
who believe in safeguarding, protect
ing and preserving our Americanism
but one choice and that is to support
the Republican party"

TELEGRAPH SERVICE GOOD

How did you readers like the way
The Silver State furnished convention
news. not only of the San Francisco

We think it was the most elaborate
service of any newspaper not receiv-
ing regular telegraph news in this

and accurate knowledge of what was
going on. Also please remember that
the expense of such an undertaking
is considerable. A little applause for
such enterprise, once in awhile, will
be encouraging.

WAR ON FARM PESTS
KEPT UP IN STATE

I'VE have sent out to ranchers
over Nevada fifty tons of poisoned
grain for the destruction of rodents" :"
said +. r. Sans, who is in charge of
the United States biological and state
rabies commission work in Reno
Testimonial letters are coming in,
showing that the grain does the work"
he continued as he handed over a let
ter from a rancher in the DEMO sec
ton, in which the writer stated that
he lived in sparsely settled section
where there were thousands of ground
squirrels, and that the grain was kill
ing the rodents very fast. This ranch
er said the squirrels would eat the
grain even where there was green food
to be had.
Mr.. Sans regards the war on ro-
dents as of great importance and this
work is being pushed during the sum-
mer when there is not so much trap
ping being done.
There Is no vacation in the trap
ping business because il is summer
We realize that men who trap for
furs criticise us for trapping in the
summer when furs are valueless. bat
we are in the business of exterminat-
ing predatory animals and eradicatine
the rabies" he said.
Sans then explained that summer
is good time in which to trap coy
otes. Then the traps do not freeze, and
the coyote pups are unwary and more
easily trapped than the grown ami
mails. Just now the coyotes are high
in the hills, but about September,
when the rabbits are grown and diff
cult to catch and the rodents have hi
bernated, the coyotes will come down
to the ranches and hunt the meadow
for field mice. When the ranchers
see them in their meadows and fields
hey think the coyotes are becoming
numerous, but such is not the case
they have only come down from the
hills
Asked if he believed that the gov
ernment and state work of extermi
nation was decreasing the number
of predatory and rabid animals, Sans
emphatically declared there is no
doubt of ii. Five years ago, he said
he had shot five coyotes on trip
from Winnemucca to Jordan Valley,
Oregon, and today that trip may be
made without seeing one coyote. The
decrease has been very marked
around Austin, where few years
ago a ranchman could sometimes
count as many as sixteen in his field
at one time.
The poisoned grain is put up in ten
and twenty pound sacks. 1t is mixed
at the army barracks at the university
of Nevada
one-half the expense. and the furs
taken by state agents are turned into
money and paid into the state treas
ury. The last sum turned in was $10,
05705. which was the biennial set
dement, this year. The furs taken by
the government men are sent to the
international fur sale and the money
is turned into federal treasury. The
trappers are paid from $50 to $120
month and many of them are given
assistance by ranchers in the form of
board and horse journal.
