Britishers feel that patriotism
must have indeed sunk to a low
ebb when its war Office resorts tc
such methods in order to secure
recruits. There is an explanation
forthcoming in defence Of the
British DEPRESSION, to the effec,
that the immigration agencies
have been securing the best young
men, and in order to keep them at
home and get them into the
service, it has been necessary for
the war Office to adopt competiti ,e
measures. Therefore, the British,
in looking about for pointers, have
taken up the scheme of the United
States in advertising for soldiers
and sailors.
1t is the custom for congress
to vote years salary to the widow
and children of deceased members.
When Representative. Pepper of
Iowa died it was pointed out that
he was bachelor but had been
the main support Of his aged
father. The house was asked to
apply the same rule as obtains
with the families of married men
who die while in congress, and to
vote the usual 81, 500 to the aged
father, but the appropriation
failed. In the senate it was placed
in the appropriation bill at the
insistence of Senator Kenyon, who
said he thought the custom entire
ly wrong, but as long as it
prevailed he maintained that the
old father should receive the same
benefits that accrue to other men,
bers of a deceased representatives.

deal Of debate, agreed with Sena-
tor Kenyon, and now the house
has threshed the matter out, with
the result that the gratuity has
been voted.

REBELS DANISH SPANIARDS
Results Of Villas Victory at
T0rreon.

The city of Torreon was taken by
General Francisco Villa, Thursday
night Of last week, after eleven days
Of street lighting so exhausting that
the constitutionallsts fought In shifts,
and when word was passed along the
line that the federals had been routed,
the tired victors dropped asleep In
the streets where dead aud wounded
were tblckly strewn. Villa gave
chase to the retreating federals next
day.
The capture Of the city cost Villa.
according to his Owl estimates 500
men killed and 1900 wounded. The
federal garrison had been estimated
at 5000 men and of these it is claimed
$500 escaped, SO that the federal loss
is placed at $500 killed. wounded.
prisoners and missing. An Italian
army officer with the rebel artillery
saw the heaps Ut dead federals and
estimates that they lost at least 1000
killed.
General Villa, on April S, ordered
that the 600 Spaniards 10 Torreon
leave at once, and placed trains in
readiness to convey them to Ell Paso,
Texas. All appeals for clemency
were Ia vain. The deportation Of
the Spaniards is the tragedy Of Chi
huahua over again and is said to
express the deep-rooted suspicion and
even hatred with which the native
Mexican, and particularly the peon,
looks upon the Spaniard. Villa had
sworn that he would execute every
Spa0iard he found 10 Torreon, but is
said to have been dissuaded by the
United States government from put
ting into effect such an extreme
measure.
About 1000 Spaniards have been
driven out OF northern Mexico by the
rebels, and General Gutierrez says
.'the Jesuiis come next" Already,

have been forced to leave the country,
some being Spaniards and some of

DECIDING DIVISION line
Conference at Coeur d'Alene
Tuesday.
LINE At MOUTH OF St. JOE
Ceur d'Alene and St. Maries Men
Make Choice

A Ceur d. 'Alene item Of April
states that the committee Of that city
and the committees from st. Maries
and other towns Of the south end ol
the county have agreed on line ol
division to be drawn east and west
across the county at the mouth oi
the St. Joe river, the territory south
Of that line to be embraced in the
proposed new county Of St. Joe with
St. Maries as the county seat. The
towns Of the south end represented
at the conference were: St. Maries
St. Joe, Santa, Fernwood, Emida
and Sanders.
Plummer, which aspires to be the
county seat ola third county. to be
created out ofKootenai, and Harrison,
which appears to be in sympathy
with the movement, were not repre-
sented at the conference.
The only town of the north end
represented at the conference was
Ceur d Alene. No committees from
Rathdrum, Post Falls, Spirit Lake
and Athol were present, and evident
ly these towns were not expected to
participate in the conference or have
a voice in choosing the line Of divi-
sion, although the question Of
division is one on which the entire
county will have right to vote.
Those participating in the confer
ence were:
St. Maries. j. G. Fralich, w. c.
Guile, w. L. Geist, A. B. Annis,
Chas. Brebner and H. R. Taylor.
St. Joe.-W. E. Brebner.
Santa.-C. A. Walker.

Sanders. &c. w. Bummell.
Cnur d'Alene. c. White. Geo.
F. Steele, |. M. Busby, ]. N. Gra-
velle and F. w. Reed.
The line of division would not in
clude Harrison in the proposed new
county.
Petitions are to be circulated in the
proposed new county in the hope Of
getting the proposition before the
voters at the general election next
fall. The matter Of creating the new
county must then go before the
legislature for final action, as provid-
ed by the 1913 statute.
Sentiment in the north end on the
county division question has not been
fully developed as yet, but it is evil
dent that there will be vigorous op-
position from those who object to
division because of increased taxes
and the belief that division would
give Coeur d Alene complete politi-
cal control over all the other towns
Of the reduced Kootenai county.

Washington, D. Cit has beer

has become so perturbed over .
public question. Tariff bills, cur
rency revision, and the goings and
comings Of new political parties
have hardly caused. such distnrb-
ances as the proposition to treat
eyerybody's vessels alike at Pana-
ma. The President says the
treaty stands for just what it says.
The opposition says that American
vessels engaged in the coastwise
trade can be exempted because
they are not engaged in "foreign
commerce." which is the meaning
of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
There are supreme court decisions
and acceptances after sort of this
claim from the British. Still
another argument is that the treaty
was made before the canal was
commenced. and at the time it was
not known whether Britain, France,
America, or some other country
would dig the ditch. However,
the time came when the canal
zone ceased to be a territory Of
Colombia, but was acquired by
the United States, after which the
canal was built in domestic terri

dent Wilson. Add to this the
division Of opinion in the senate
and house among the presidents
own party, and you have proof of
the claim that this is not so simple
a matter; after all. Undoubtedly
it is many-sided question.
Inasmuch as the stockholders of
the railroads have been missing
their dividends, they have natural
ly been rather persistent in asking
the federal government whether it
is a fact that the numerous shake-
ups administered by Uncle Sam
are the reason. The interstate
commerce commission has been
spending weeks in the attempt to
determine whether the FIVE per
cent advance in rates asked by the
railroads should be granted. Most
of the ssprogressives" of the
different political parties in con.
gress hold to the notion that the
troubles Of the railroads are all of
their own making, and they assert
that the only reason that the rail-
roads are not paying is because of
the frenzied manner of their
capitalization and financing. Sena-
tor Cummins has made a big
speech going into the intricacies
Of the question, while Senator La
Toilette has been interesting him
self in getting the results Of the
hearings Of the commission before
the public. Many public men take
the position that the biggest ques-
tions Of government are involved
in the 6nal determination Of the
railroad rate problem, and they
are closely following its progress
before the commission.
On one or two occasions there
has been something of shakeup
in the war department because of
the alluring copy that has been
hung up in posters, and featured

and navy. Washington officials

ican plays which have been seen the.e recently been great success;
 but each individual American artist
 who has appeared in London during the last six months has scored the hit
 of his or her career
 The four biggest attractions which 1 have to announce for next season are Mrs Patrick Campbell in George
 Bernard Shaw's latest play, "Pyg-
 malion,' the farewell tour of Marie
 Tempest, the first American tour of
 Sylvester Schaffer and the first Amer
 ican tour of Manuel Quiroga, the
 worlds most wonderful violinist.
 Miss Tempest has not been in
 America for several seasons and l have arranged with her to play her farewell tour of this country in the Shubert theaters. She will be seen in a iepetoire of her greatest successes, including her new comedy in four acts by Richard Henry Powell en-
 titled The Wynmarten which she is ROW doing at the Playhouse in Lon don.

MT Shaw ar1ang- i ed for the first product:on in the 1 German language before he allowed the production of it in London. as he did not want the London critics to have an opportunity to attack him be- fore the play had been proved sue cess on the continent Mir. Campbell is simply exquisite in her part, and l i have no doubt that her tour this time will be as great a success as he first visit to this country. Since her re- cent marriage to Corvallis West, she has also been accepted as the social lion of the London season.
 Although Sylvester Schaeffer has not been seen in America, he is known to the hundred of thousands of Amer jeans who visit Germany annually.
 He is the only man in the world who gives a complete ente, tainment all by himselfhimself lasting two hours and half, including juggling, singing. skating and almost every form of
 human achievement in the physical
 and artistic sense For years the
 American managers have been trying
 to bring MT. Schaeffer to America,
 but have not succeeded.

 In this line the report of Lee Shu- bert, who has just returned from an extended trip abioad, as to what the Shuberts hope to do in New York and on the road next year may be interesting:

 What struck me as particularly promising during my trip was the fact that the Eui opean author has learned to write for the American market That is to say, instead of writing purely local plays with the scenes laid in local surroundings only to be understood by their own public; English, French and German authors ale now writing plays which can be understood in any language, any where The authors are very wise in doing this, as they have the entire world for their market instead of one country or one nation.
