thRu's remarls was that the Amer lean government was chiefly con oerued at Lausanne or elsewhere, In obtaining commercial opportunities in the Near East for American oil companies. In that connection, the departments statement said;
 "The implication in this (Mr. Nor ganthau's) statement was vigorously denied by the department"
 Was Wilson's Policy
 The only action taken by the de- pRrtment, which would possibly be referred in the published account. tho statement continued, was its man date notes asking for equal opportu- nifty for American enterprise in man date territories, an attitude which this administration has taken, as well as the prior administrations"
 The Standard oil company is un- derstood to hold number of per mits from the Turkish government .or oil prospecting in Palestine, some of thsn ante dating the war. There has .neen friendly correspondence be- tween the Washington and London governments, in conn ection with these. and 1t was said that the British euthorities had shown TO inclination to deny their validity.
 Discussed Issue with England
 In none of these matters. however, was the Dutch Shell company, re- ferred to by Mfr Morgenthau, con cerned, it was added. nor has tho Standard Oil or any American con cern been furnished with state de- partment letters intended for use in negotiations with other oil concerns ln Palestine or In Mesopotamia.
 It is said that Mir. Morgenthau had ln mind correspondence over Meso- potamian oil interests in which the United States objected to the ex- elusive division of the field there be. tween British and French interests under the San Reno agreement. The British recognized soundness of the American complaint, and while. no official report has been received of Lord Cur3on's statement at Lausanne. recently, that Great Britain regarded the San Reno pact as null and void" there is no disposition here to doubt that such is the British atti- tude.
 As to the general attitude of the American delegation at Lausanne, in- i structions to Ambassador Child are said to make 1t plain that para mount interest of the United States relates to Humanitarian considera- lions, such as the rights of religious and racial minorities. the protection | of educational institutions and sim liar questions In Turkey.
 Position Already Stated
 Conferences at Lausanne between Ambassador Child and the Turkish | delegates arc believed to have dealt with such questions rather than with steps toward a separate treaty | with Turkey.
 The. open-door policy of the United States, as applying to Turkey has already been stated to the con- ference by tho ambassador. Broadly | speaking. 1t is said this would cover American concern with even the diff ffcult question of the freedom of the | Turkish straits,
 Aside from these broad outlines of policy, and for the open door for | trade commerce developments in Tur- | key on the other, 1t Is understood | that the American delegation at Lausanne is not working in the in- | terest of any specific American com l mercial project in the Near East.

Washington. November 29.--Pub- lished attacks on the poaition the American government Is taking st the Lausanne conference, attributed to Henry Morgenthau, ambassador to Turkey under the Wilson administra- ton. prompted the state department to issue g. formal denial today aimed rather at the implications involved in the printed version of Mir. Morgen- thau's remarks than at their specific allegations.
 The specific statement involved all legged cooperation of the state de- pertinent with the Standard oil com pany to obtain renunciation by the Dutch Shell company, British con cern, of a portion of it's interests in Palestine, in favor of the American company. The departments statement said MT. Morgenthau had been either incorrectly quoted or misinformed in this connection.

 Delightfully."- chic is the graceful black satin hat sketched today. In, spite of the brim flaring at the sides, it fits the head snugly, and woman may wear it in the most clustering of gales without the slightest qualms. In addition to this practical quality it is wildly embroidered in a bewildering ar ray of brilliant colors that make just the contrast needed for wear with dark tailored suit.
 The shape above it is of black hatter's plush trimmed with two celluloid quills in vivid shade of red. The soft crown and narrow turn-down brim are very youthful in effect and suggest thats choche shape so popular now in Paris.

tricts. She worked on bravely
enough and efficiently, carrying the
thought of the frail little mother
in the great city who was more or
less dependant upon her efforts
for support. Pneumonia made her
victim and the end came rapidly
in an Elko hospital whence she had
been taken by kind friends. With
the passing came the revelation that
the girl was destitute of money,
while a heart broken parent re-
ceived the news of the death of
her dearly beloved. The situation
was full of sadness of the kind that
goes straight to the heart of the
kindly person. The story alone is
sufficient to bring tears to the eyes
of all who have sensibilities.
Many communities would have
dismissed the matter with shrugs of
shoulders and expressions of regret.
Did Elkoites seek to bridge the lit
tie chasm with empty mounting?
They did not! The citizenship of
the town, unacquainted with the
young woman who had been, other
than to know that she had
taught a country school in their
county for a brief period, set about,
dug down into their worldly store
and raised sum of money suffi-
cient to send the remains back to
the heartbroken mother and leave
an overplus for the immediate needs
of the dependant relative. And
this is not all, for the remains were
escorted to San Francisco by one
of the leading business men of Elko,
the transactions as a whole forming
one of the most genuine tributes
that ever came to any community.
1t is with the understanding that
flippancy has no place in the state
ment that we use the saw, "here
we find town so good to live in
that it is also a good town to die
in"

MAY BRING
COAL DOWN.

The upheaval in the coal situation
scheduled for April l should bring
about a reduction in the price to
the consumer, although it cannot be
predicted now what element enter
ing into the retail price of coal will
have to be cut. The one outstand-
ing fact is that the price of an
thracite is about twice that Of pre-
war years, and has steadily gone up,
while the price of about every other
commodity has come down since the
war. The miners claim that the
middlemen are getting unreasonable
profits while others contend that in
ordinately high wages are paid to
the miners. There will be a thor
ough sitting of the facts when the
clash of interests occurs on April l
and the public will be able to put
the blame where it belongs. With
the responsibility fixed, there should
be little trouble in forcing a price
cut.
