costs of grounds, lights. etc., sal
aries and board. These carnivals
are rapidly becoming obsolete, as
most of the towns are so bitter
against them that the city gov
ernments take prohibitive meas
ures. In fact the present city
council placed the license at $500
with the view of its being prohibit
tory, but this aggregation of
amusement producers believed
they could get by and carry some

The police are watching them
very closely to see that the games
and attractions are conducted
properly.
All we can say for our Elko brother
ia that he didn't make his howl soon
enough. Elko is to be sympathised
with.
While on the subject of carnivals
It may be interesting to relate that
few people have been found who dis
agree with our recent attack on the
Brown outfit. The ones who we're in
favor of encouraging the carnival to
come to Winnemucca had only one
reason, and that was that at would

Possibly so, but consider: The Brown
company offers any organization a
guarantee of $3.50 II it will agree to
get license fees RENTED. They agree
to give ten per cent of the receipts
to such an organization, which means
they are confident Of doing at least
$500 worth of business In this city.
This, however, includes only receipts
Of the Ferris wheel, merry-go'round,
and shows. There Is no "cut" of the
money taken in at "concessions"-the
catch-quarter games.
This would lead to belief that gross
business done In Winnemuca would
come to $4,000 for the week. and 1t
seems reasonable that more than half
Of that amount would be spent by the
amusement company for railroad
fares and kept for profit. Certain 1t
Is that but a small portion of the
money would be re-spent in Winnie

Suppose every person who spent
money at this carnival last year
were to contribute like amount to-

committee for that purpose. Most Of
the money would be spent here and

Gen. Menoher Declines to
Discuss Request - Has
Friction With Mitchell.

T Nf4j. Gen. c. T. Menoher, chief of
the Army air. service. has formally
asked Secretary Weeks for release
from that office and transfer to COM
mand of troops in the field.
ExpecteA ITO BE Granted. -
The request of Gen. Menoher. who
has been head of the air service since
late in 1918, was today in the hands
of Secretary Weeks, who said that as
yet he had taken no action on it. The
indications we're, however. that the
request would be granted.
Gen .Menoher. who was appointed
head of the air service late in 1918,
after having commanded the 42d or
Rainbow Division in France, refused
to discuss the reports. .r..
Rumors have been prevalent in
Washington for some time that either
Gen. Menoher or Brig. Gen. Mitchell.
assistant chief of the air service,
would resign as a result of friction
between the two which eliminated
last spring in the chief asking for the
relief of Gen. Mitchell. Although Sec
retary Weeks several weeks ago an
nounced that the friction had been
eliminated and that Gen. Menoher had
withdrawn his request. the rumors
persisted in Army circles.
The air service chief, according to
the reports in circulation. resigned
not because of the strained relations
with Gen. Mitchell, but so as to re-
turn to his old place as line officer
in the field artillery.

OPPOSE CHINA ACCEPTING.
Students Say It Would Confirm
Japan's Position.

By the Associated Press.
PEKIl!G, September 15.-Acceptance
of the proposals of Japan with regard
to the restoration of Shantung would
mean virtual confiscation Of Japan's
economic position in Tsingtao and
Eiaochau bay. while returning to
China nominal jurisdiction, is the
view of foreign students Of China OF
the Shantung problem after having
analyzed Japan's note, which was
made public today at the foreign Of
flee.
II was pointed out that the lease of
Kiaochau bay includes the shore to
the high water line. including the is
lands. This area comprises immense
salt fields which are in the hands of
private Japanese. The same applies
to the extensive former German fiscal
lands and buildings acquired under
treaty. the former at their value as
agricultural lands, now greatly
enhanced. 80
Would Give Clear Title.
These holdings would be confirmed
with clear title. which they do no,
aays at to he e It
but the loss of the salt industry
would be serious.
Paragraph three of the japanese
proposal. regarding the railway from
Kiaochau to Tsinan, brought forth
the objection from the observers OF
the situation that it does not give
China the right to redeem the rail-
ways, but that joint ownership by
China and Japan in perpetuity is sug-
Eested inferentially. The sixth pro.
posal concerning the Tsingtao Gus
toms being regarded as part OF the
Chinese customs. in the same manner as
during the German regime, is regard
cd as ambiguous, since under the
Germans it was provided that the
customs staff should be German and
that the German language might be
used in correspondence.
Protests Pouring In.
THE same manner as under the
German regime" in the opinion of the
Chinese suggests the possible substi-
tuition of a Japanese staff. 1t is pointed
out that joint management Of public
utilities as mentioned In the japanese
communication includes dock, piers
and roads. The Chinese consider that
other nations might have a reasonable
fear Of preferential treatment toward
Japan in the matter of berthing ships
apportioning docks and the use of ap-
proaches.
Chambers of commerce and guilds
of student bodies in various cities are
bombarding the government with pro-
tests against acceptance Of the Japan
ese proposals.

What effective campaign issue Will
the republicans be able to get out OF
the six or seven months work of the
administration and Congress"
This question is of deep concern at
present to politicians in the admins
tration and in Congress, and of equal
Importance to both groups. To repub-
1ican members of the House 1T is of
immediate exigency. for next summer
they are to be up for denomination on
the record of the party in Congress
and for reelection in the succeeding
November. To the national leaders
and managers 1t is of continuing and
abiding relevancy. bearing upon the
partyS maintenance in power in the
next presidential campaign.
Many republicans of prominence ex-
pect that the record of accomplish
ment may have to suffice for the first
exigencies of politics in the absence
Of an acute issue. President Harding
is said to hold this opinion. and to be
tton accordingly, and advising that
the policy be carried out in Congress.
Much Faith In Arms Farley.
The President, it is said. is placing
great dependence in the success of
the arms Limitation conference as a
brilliant coup for the administration.
But 1T is not the only arrow in his
sheaf. by any means. He and other
republicans of prominence in the
party councils think that the atten-
ton of the country is now fixed upon
reducing ornaments and that any
measure of success in this direction
will be rewarded with the gratitude
of the people and approval by them
OF the administrations efforts. While
he has himself warned against ex-
pecting too much, in his heart he is
confident of getting more than the
pessimists count upon.
The administration looks to the
work of The unemployment confer
ence to furnish another chapter of
good work done in behalf of the peo-
pie. There is every reason to antici-
pate notable achievement in this di-

rection. Reports given out by the
Department of Labor show that nat
ural conditions are tending toward an
Improvement in the industrial sitna-
tion. If the conference can succeed
in making suggestions and proposing
plans which will push over the top"
the movement now under way as re-
ported. the administration will be ex-
pected to get the credit for the opera
tions of economic conditions as well
rs the stimulus given by the con-
ference.
Count ON Business Improvement.
The administration and the poll
ticlans are both counting heavily on
the expected general Improvement in
the party in power. All reports indi-
cate that the zero hour in depression
has passed and that from now on
there will be steady improvement
in all lines. The public is not eX-
pected to draw too fine distinction
between the contributory efforts of
administration and legislation to the
betterment of the times, but just as
they would blame the incumbent po-
litical party for depression they may
be counted upon to give it credit for
Improvement.
is progressing so rapidly and with
bright promise of early enactment
that republicans are heartened to look
for immediate favorable response
from the business of the country. The
genuine retrenchments in expendi-
lures to be put in force by the ad
ministration will not be lost sight of
by the business interests of the coun-
try. it is held.
Politicians are realizing the con-
stant lessening of interest in the tariff
as potential political issue. Sugges-
tions thrown out of the possible post
ponement of final action on a general
tariff bill have brought no serious
complaints from the country.
The whole trend of the political
situation. in the opinion of many poll
ticians who are watching affairs. is
toward the probability that no out
standing issue is in sight and that
dependence must be placed upon what
has been done rather than to con-
iure up something to be promised.

POISONOUS GASES
(. IN WAR TO STAY
American Military Experts
Uphold Use in Order to
-
Shorten Conflicts. a..
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

u aJ+7
Poison gas as means. of warfare
has come to stay. Americas miAt4ly
experts join with those of other conn-
tries in insisting that the gas bomb is
just as humane as the torpedo or the
1.000-pound she'll. Any idea that the
United States Army experts will adj
wise the American delegation to the
conference on Limitation Of arma-
ments to propose the abolition OF
poison gases can be dismissed as out
of the question. -.
President Harding. in his invitation
to the other powers pointed out that
cit may be found advisable to formu.
late proposals by which In the interest
Of humanity the use of new agencies
pf warfare may be suitably con-
trolled' A canvass by this CORE
velops the fact that the American
Army holds chemical warfare to be 9
| recognized and desirable means OF
warfare-that is, just as desirable az
any other means of killing the troops
of the enemy. The experts say they
hope the time will never come when
war is necessary to settle disputes
between nations.
They are just as anxious for per-
manent peace as any other Americans
But Mr.. Harding himself in his speech
to the Army War College spoke his
doubts about permanent peace. and
indicated that armies and navfes
would always be necessary. Inasmuch
as the commander lin chief of the
Army and Navy feels that way. the
experts declare it is their solemn duty

conflict to an abrupt ending.
Prejudice Universal.
The prejudice against the use OF
poison gas is, of course, universal
When the Germans first introduced II
the same outcry was raised as against
the submarine torpedo. Yet before
the war was oyer both sides used the
gas bomb, and America invented such
destructice gas bombs as might have
ultimately annihilated the German
| army If the armistice had not inter-
fered.
The public has little idea of the
lawfulness Of the new agencies Of war.

however, are unit in expressing the
opinion that while gas may be used
against soldiers and sailors it should
not be employed against non-com-
batants or any areas in which nom
combatants and troops may be mixed.
The use Of poison gases should be re-
served for attack on strictly military
or naval areas.
Conference Consideration.
When the agenda for the coming
conference is completed, rules of
warfare will be found to have been
included. It can't be excluded grace
fully. for the American government
has publicly expressed itself on the
subject and the other powers have
agreed to it without exception. But
when it comes to framing rules of
warfare. the conference will ind it
