claion ho said he was convinced that
conditions prejudical to the defendants
did exist In Canyon county that they
did not exist In any OF the other coun-
ties. but was not certain that In The
outlying precints fair and impartial
Jury could not be obtained. In the
town of Caldwell. he said. certain per-
sons seemed largely prcJuiiced against

@anted to be perfectly fair, however.

OF the defense IL the defense would
consent TO nave the case taken TO Ada
County for trial, After consultation

scented to have the cases removed to

ABSURDITY OF WAR TALK.

War in modern times presupposes
some fundamental dispute or antagon-
ism that cannot be dealt with by di-
plomacy or arbitration. Furthermore.
war is usually attended by deep feel
ing on both sides. But it so happens
that there does not now exist, nor has
there existed. any cause of war what
soever between Japan and the United
States. Nor is there any warlike feel
ing in this country against Japan. On
the part of the public men and influu-
entail people of Japan. furthermore.
there is no warlike feeling toward the
United States. Neither is there any
question of interest involved, such as
leads nations sometimes to find pre-
text for war because of some conquest
or acquisition they desire to make
Japan possesses nothing that we could
acquire or could possibly wish to gain
We, on the other hand, have nothing
that Japan could hope to gain and hold

AFTER JAP SYMPATHY
IN THE AGITATION
Anti-British Agitation Is On in
India.
A H0TBED OF REVOLUTION.

London, Aug. Sit appears that the
leaders of the anti-British agitation in
India are doing their best to enlist
the sympathies of the Japanese in
their government. For some time
they have been insisting in their
press organs, that the Japanese by
their victory over Russia have put an
end TO the notion that the Oriental, as
compared with the European is defic-
lent in bravery and intelligence. A
good many of these agitators are
students in various technical schools
and colleges in Japan, and are in
dustriously pushing their political
propaganda. They are proclaiming
everywhere that the beneficial effect
of British rule in the development of
India civilization has been vastly over
rated. British administration, they
say is often attended by the grossest
and the country, instead of
being satisfied with the government,
is really a hotbed of smouldering
revolution.

CRASH IS IN PROSPECT
IN IRON AND STEEL
One Is Predicted in the Ger
man Trade.
PRICES STEADILY FALLING.

Berlin, Aug. 3.-There are indica-
tions of an impending crash in the
German steel and iron trade. Prices
of manufactured products have been
steadily falling for weeks. Mills are
working at present up to their full
capacity and in some cases are I'M
able to make deliveries owing to the
rush of work, but orders for deliveries
far in the future have come to
complete standstill and manufacturers
will face the prospect of orderless
books in a comparatively short time.
AS German steel and iron plants have
increased their capacity enormously
in recent years they are confronted
with the problem of finding fresh
markets abroad. as their output has
largely been for domestic consump-
ton. 1t is likely that in order to
avoid a catastrophe the German steel
and iron combination will turn to the
British market and engage in
wholesale dumping process and
slaughter of prices.

Murl c. PierSOn Writes of His
Columbus Barracks Experience

! With them we had strawberry short
cake good chicken gravy, ice cream
and cake, bread and butter, coffee and
pudding. That is just an example of
what our marine cook gives us.
Whoever may see this letter and
want to know more about the army,
of the post hospital, Columbus Bar
racks. Columbus, Ohio.
To show you how very hard it is to
desert and ever get back into the army
again l will endeavor to show you the
process which every applicant has to
go through before he can enter the
army. We use the Bertilon system
of measurements throughout. The
applicant on reaching Columbus goes
to what is known as the receiving sta
ton. From there he goes to the hos
pital TO be examined Reaching the
examination room he disrobes and
goes through vigorous physical test.
He then has his finger prints taken
and as no two men living have finger
prints alike. when a deserter tries to
get back into the army, they spot him
in a second at Washington and have
him taken into the guard house to
await a court martial for desertion.
From the examination room the APP
plicant goes to the photograph gallery
and has his picture taken. We put
them under a mercury light that turns
the color of their face to a dark green
and brings out every blemish and scar
upon their face. We take front and
a side view of the applicants face.

of interest at this time on account of
