Brigadier-General Tells of Ar
mistice Day Attacks.
HEEDLESS LOSS ALLEGED
Witness Before House Investigating
Committee Says Officers Feared
Cliau mailt Triumvirate.
WASHINGTON, D. C.,' Jan. 8. Re
sponsibility for th loss of American
lives through attacks ordered on
Armistice day should be charged to
American general headquarters. a
house war Investigating: committee
was told today by Brigadier-General
John J. Sherburne, a national guard
officer of Boston.
"So horrified were my men and
those of other American commands
near us at the needless attacks of
the morning of November 11 and con
sequent loss of life that they did not
enter into the general celebration of
the signing of the armistice," General
Sherburne said. "It was freely said
at the time that some one had
blundered."
.General Sherburne said that while
some officers refused to send their
men to the attack, the majority "so
piteously feared the all-powerful
triumvirate at Chaumont and the en
tire general staff 'gang' there that
they dared not risk court-martial by
evading In any particular the attack
orders."
The witness said he did not refer
to Generals Pershing, Liggett or
Bullard when he spoke of the "gen
eral staff triumvirate," at Chaumont.
The only officer he named was Brig
adier-General Fox Connor, chief of
operations.
No French or British troops, except
a few Canadians, attacked on armis
tice day. General Sherburne declared.
GEKERA1 COXXOR EXPLAINS
Chief of Operations Says Marshal
Koch Ordered Attack.
OMAHA. Neb., Jan. 8. Replying to
the reported assertion of Brigadier
General John H. Sherburne, a national
guard officer of Boston, before a
house war investigation committee
that "responsibility, for the loss of
American lives through attacks or
dered on armistice day should be
charged to American headquarters,"
Brigadier-General Fox Connor, mem
ber of General Pershing's staff and
chief of operations in the American
expeditionary force, said that General
Sherburne's idea of the war appeared
to coincide with that held by many
other persons, namely, thit "the war
ended before it ended."
Marshal Foch had issued orders, he
said, that all attacks already begun
should be pressed on that day. "The
allies could not afford to take any
chances. We were placing our armies
in the best possible position in the
event Germany failed to sign.
"As for the attack in which Gen
eral Sherburne and the 92d division,
to which he was attached, participat
ed, that attack was launched at 5
A. M. November 11, just one hour be
fore American general headquarters
had been informed that the armistice
was signed. The signing took place
at the exact moment of the 92d attack."

tion to buy the Sylvanite group of

by the Gold Hill Mines company, with
J. W. Davies of Sacramento, Cal., at
the head of the concern. The mine
Is equipped with a ten-stamp mill,
and recent developments have uncov
ered considerable milling ore. Mr.
Davies is now on the ground and re
ports that the lessees will resume
operation as soon as the mine and
mill equipment can be put in repair.

who recently purchased the Bina
Danielson quartz mine three miles
south of Gold Hill, is making repairs
on the property with a view to put
ting the mine on a working basis.

asking the special session of the leg
islature here next week to name a
special committee to investigate the
feasibility of establishing an Institu

Request for establishment of the
new institution was made by L. M.
Gilbert, superintendent of the state
training school for boys, at the last
meeting of the state board of control.
Under Mr. Gilbert's plan the present
training schools structure would be
used in housing the older boys, while

commodation of the younger boys.
In the event the investigation is au
thorized, action toward the establish
ment of the new Institution probably
will be taken at the next regular ses
sion of the legislature In 1921.

Was on Point of Giving Up
Job Like New Man Now
Since Taking Tanlac.
"Before I began taking Tanlac I
had to lay off from work for days at

Owl drug store recently. Continuing,
he said:
"For the past two years I have suf
fered dreadfully from stomach trou
ble. Everything I ate would sour, I
would bloat terribly and there was a
burning just like a coal of fire and
the -'worst sort of pains in my stom
ach nearly all the time. I had such
bad headaches it seemed like my head
would burst open and at times I
would become so dizzy it was all I
could do to keep from falling. I also
had the worst sort of pains across
the small of my back, which were, so
bad I could barely stoop over. My
sleep didn't seem to do me any good
and I always got up feeling worse
than when I went; to bed. and with
the worst sort of taste in my mouth.
I was very weak and had no ambition
or energy and felt tired and wornout
all the time.
"One day a gentleman who works
for the Standifer Shipbuilding com
pany advised me to try Tanlac. say
ing he had taken it with remarkable
results. Well. I took his advice and I
began to improve almost at once. I
continued taking it, and now. while
I have only taken six bottles in all. I
am completely rid of my troubles. I
can eat anything I want without any
bad after effects. I never have the
headache or those dizzy spells any
more and, in fact, never have a pain
of any kind. I have gained several
pounds in weight and feel so strong
and full of energy I never lose a day
from work."
