THE THANKS
OF CONGRESS-

Field Marshal Earl French, who
was commander of the British
armies in 1914 and 1915, is in our
midst. When asked the purpose of
his visit he said: II have come to
the United States for a flying visit
of few weeks-a stay for purely
private reasons. l have no mission
of any sort or kind, and have no
public engagements of any des-
cription." The people of this
country might well turn out en-
masse to greet the British hero.
He is about the first visitor of
prominence from Europe who has
not come over to advocate cancella-
ton Of our debts, to request huge
loan, to demand our entry into
the league of nations, or to advise
us how to conduct our domestic
affairs. For that reason Marshal
French is thrice welcome.

A GOOD
STAGE


"Our hat is in the ring" de-
clares Chairman Lasker, land we
are going to stick as long as neces-
sary to insure the position of
American-fag ships between North
and South America" The remark
has reference to the recent action
of the British Lamport & Holt line
in making drastic cuts in its fares
to South America, followed by the
Shipping Board in cutting the rates
on its vessels to a still lower point.
If the British are going to subject
US to a rate war it might as well
be staged on the South American
routes as anywhere else. The
world can learn now as we'll as any
other time that the United States
means to have an adequate mer-
chant marine and will fight for it.

ROAD WILL BE OPEN OVER
THE SUMMIT IN TEN DAYS

That the road from Truckee over
the summit will be accessible to
autoists within the next ten days
was the opinion expressed yester-
day by Dan Smith, chairman of the
roads committee of the Truckee
chamber of commerce who arrived
here after making the first trip
of the year by automobile from
Truckee, says the Reno Journal.
He declared that tractors are now
engaged in the work of clearing
snow from the highway. The road
from Truckee to Bonner lake is al
ready open, it is asserted.

A condition little short of anarchy
exists in Chicago where policemen
have been murdered, civilians out

organized thugs who are in the sad

If it is a concomitant of the times
the people of the country may well
look upon conditions with askance

worse than even the windy city Of

MODIFIED DENISON
BILL NECESSARY

The Reno Gazette of yesterday
comments very aptly upon the Deni-
son blue sky proposal. Most west
ern people, save those who actually
want to defraud the investing pub
lie will agree with the editorial
conclusions which follows:
'If the Denison bill, which pro-
poses to regulate the sale of pro-
motion stocks, bonds and other Sc
curities, is so amended that it will
not interfere with their sale after
they have been approved by re-
sponsible state commission, it seems
that the legitimate objections to its
passage will have been met.
"This would impose upon the
various states the obligation of pro-
tecting the investing public, not
only of their own but other states,
or suffer the disadvantage of having
the financial offerings of their in
dustries blacklisted by the federal
government. The penalty would be
severe, but the fact is that unless
the states undertake this RESPONSE
bility they can expect drastic fed
eral legislation upon the matter at
no distant date, regardless of any
protests made.
"The sale of fraudulent stocks,
not only by the promoters of New
York, which is the hot-bed of pro-
motion, but in Nevada, during the
last twenty years has been nothing
short of scandalous. During this
time thousands of strictly honest
promotions have been foated, but
on the other hand dollars by the
hundred millions have been stolen
from the public by INSCRIPTIONS
wild-catters, and the communities
where their alleged properties have
been located have suffered fully as
much as those who bought the
gilded shares.
"Years ago the Gazette took the
position that the unrestricted sale of
securities by professional promoters
located within Nevada was working
far more harm than good to the
states development. Their activi-
ties have brought large sums of
money to Nevada, it is true, but in
far too many cases this money has
been Incorporated or absorbed
in salaries and commissions and
little development work accom-
plished. The liberation of these
frauds has made it extremely diff
cult for legitimate mining opera
tors to obtain funds for the develop
ment of promising properties, and
one of the consequences has been
the over-capitalization of companies
owning meritorious properties, as
they are far too frequently COM
PEELED to pay exorbitant commissions
upon needed capital by the unfair
competition of dishonest promoters.
"There is no reason for the Deni-
son bill. It is protest from thou
sands of honest investors who have
been swindled. In all probability
it will be enacted in some modified
form. The thing for the western
states to do, for they are vitality
concerned, is to see that it does not
interfere with honest promotions
and they can only accomplish this
end by doing their own part in the
extinguishment of fraud"

CURRENT COMMENT
The Drift Toward an Alliance.

The report from Washington that
the draft OF quadrupie alliance, 70
include France, Great Britain, Japan,
and the United States Is under dis
cussion tallies with much recent news
from the conference. For some time
attention has been directed to triple
entente OF Japan, Great Britain and
the United States as the most obvious
meanins Of evading' the difficulties
caused BY the Anglo-Japanese al
lance. But the attitude OF France,
as for example in regard 10 sub.
marines. has shown the difficulty OF
leaving it out Of any such combipa-
ton.
No official announcement of the
plans Of the administration has been
made. and the present leakage may
perhaps be intended as means of Sc
curing an expression OF public opinion
before the negotiations have gone
further. The published reports, how
ever, are hardly adequate as basis
for public opinion. II IS. for instance,
not made clear whether such an en-
tente would in some degree meet
Premier Brands desire Of support for
France. or whether its scope would be
entirely to the Far East. II may be
assumed that the antipathy to. en-
tangling alliances which the country
has shown will make it on general
principles suspicious of any proposals
Of the kind suggested and that only
the fullest and elcarest statement Of
the purpose, character, and obligation
Of an entente OF this sort would soften
this instructive antagonism-
That quadruple entente OF the
four most strongly armed great
powers in the world would cause con-
cern among the nations not included
goes without saying When President
Wilson proposed temporary triple
alliance for the defense OF France,
Italy at once anxiously asked 70 be
taken In. IL would be no less disturbed
by exclusion from the suggested al
lance OF the "big four. China also
would be uneasy. feeling to be directed
aaalnst itself, and the course Of the
conference thus far would perhaps give
IL some ground for its fears--wouid
support of japanese claims IN Man
churia be an essential part OF the
proposed understanding
An alliance of the sort described
would present a parallel TO the triple
alliance of Germany. Austria Hungary
and Italy which Bismnrk formed for
the preservation Of peace while the
gains of 1870 were being consolidated
II served that purpose for time, but
presently France found an ally IN
Russia aud later Great Britain was
drawn into the triple entente, prepar-
ing the stage for war II can hardly
be doubted that II the two strongest
naval powers and the two strongest
military powers Join forces they can
have things for a time much their own
way. but the outcome must sooner or
later be rival League Of unknown
magnitude. and the beginning Of a new

Of this city, principal owner Of mine
al Santa Eulalia, Chihuahua, has re-
ceived news Of the rescue Of his broth
er, A. q. Styie8 an American, from
Mexican bandits.
A. G. Style, resident manager of the
mine, was captured last Thursday by
bandits who demanded $4,000 for his
release. style was taken to a camp
four miles away and a letter was writ
ten to his brother here demanding the
ransom. The latter at once wired
Chihuahua officials requesting that the
amount be paid. /.
Governor Enriquez Of Chihuahua and
The mayor Of Santa Enlalia sent an
automobile carrying lights as ordered
by the bandits. Twenty other soldiers
in automobiles followed reinforced by
d detachment Of mounted men. AS the
first ear approached the rendezvous the
bandits caught sight of the support
ing soldiers and fed, leaving Style in
the camp. He was in their custody IS

put of these plants has an outlet by
rail to Tientsin and by the Iangtse
to the Pacific.
British, japanese and German COM
panies in the past have operated these
ventures and they have been profitable
undertakings In recent years public
sentiment has set strongly against
granting further concessions TO
foreigners, and inasmuch as such con-
cessions have usually carried with
them a certain amount of railway con-
troll. all to the disadvantage OF China's
economic freedom, it is not surprising
that the Chinese should resent the loss
OF their resources.
The extent Of the copper deposits is
not fully known. but there is enough
ore in sight to supply the nations
electrical requirements for century
or more to come. Not much Is
known concerning the petroleum sup.
piv. except that the oil horizons Of the
upper Yangtse watershed are reported
to be extensive.
Power fuel, iron and copper are re-
sources Of economic development that
are not surpassed by those Of any
other nation In the Old World or the
New. The possible future of China is
a prospect at which TO marvel. But
RAILWAYS and more waterways are
necessary to put these resources IN
