Moscow, April, 2l-Declaring
that liquor violations in Latah county
was becoming a disgrace as well as
an expense to the county and that he
hereafter will be severe wi those who
are proved guilty of trafficking in
liquor, Judge Edgar c. Steele from
the bench in the district court this
morning made it plain that he was
becoming disgusted with the petty
excuses of those brought before
him and pointed especially to all
violations at Boville where three
fourths of the arrests on liquor
violation charges have been made
since the county become prohibition.
The court was particularly scath-
ing in his denunciation this morn
ing. 1t came after two defendants
were brought before him for sentence
the defendants having pleaded
guilty to such violations. They
were A. Metz and Paul Lambert.
Both had been confined in Jail 90
days pc ding trial, having been un-
able to furnish bonds for th-ir re-
lease. Metz made statement de-
claring he intended leaving Boville
when he got rid of this affair.
Lambert made a statement through
Attorney L. G. Peterson to the
effect that while he had pleaded
guilty he was technically not guilty,
having been induced to offer liquor
to customers by parties who owned
the liquor. He had been before thu
court before but had PLEADED
not guilty and the case was con
tinued without trial. He plead tina
he expected to pay fine in tn
probate court and that he had NJ
idea that he was to be held to tn
district court, having felt that it wa

with liquor violations brought befoI

Valuable Land Sold.

One of tho greatest bsrgains in land
has lately been secured by Mr..
Dorsey Crockett. of HURRICANE Mills,
Tenn, when he purchased from Mr.. j.
R. Evans about six hundred acres of
bottom land lying on dry creek. Lands
in this neighborhood have the advant-
age, in addition to their great fetility,
Of being able to secure, for a small out
lay, ~overfowing wells. These valley
lands are said to be very similar to the
lands along Duck river, in Tennessee,
but surprising them in lime content
and to rival them in the production of
corn.
We are glad to welcome to the coun-
ty such splendid specimen of manhood
as MIR. Crockett appears to be. He
comes highly recommended for indus
try and reliability.

BALKAN STATES ARE

JOIN IN STRUGGLE

London, Aug. 29.-Reports telling of
extreme military activities in Turkey
and all Balkan states have reached
London. The Balkan countries are ex-
pected to enter the general conflict,
and Turkey. it is declared, may be ex-
pected to join with Germany and Aus
tria against the allied powers.
German officers are said to have
been sent to Constantinople and the
war party is in complete control in
Turkey, so that the entrance of the
Moslem is made doubly certain. 1t is
believed here that the object of Ger
many would make trouble for Eng
land in India and Egypt by drawing
Turkey into the war and stirring up
the Moslems of these two British pos

Should the Balkan states become
involved it is considered certain Bull

sadly impoverished by the two recent
wars. Greece from the start has con-

in evidence.
Koenigsbergs investment will not
require a large force if the Russians
seek only to make it harmless for the
moment and do not care to spare the
men for it's assault 1t is probable
this policy of reserving men will be
followed, for the main Russian objec-
tive is Berlin. and to be deferred from
concentrating every effort upon the
march to the capital would be a stra-
tegic error, unless the Russian supply
of soldiers at the present time exceeds
justifiable estimates.
In Galicia the Austrians have re-
ported several victories during the
week and Russian admissions point to
Austrian occupations of the Russian
frontier military posts at Annopol and
Zamong.
The probable reason for this differ
ence between the Russian operations
in Germany and Austria is a concen-
tration of Russia's principal force for
the anticipated march to Berlin. The
Russian armies in Galicia are doubt
less much inferior in strength to the
ones in east Prussia. Such a division
of forces, if it has been made, indi-

place before and after the outbreak
of war between Germany and Great
