men OF BRITISH
Army ARE ANGRY
AT THE RETREAT
Anxious to Meet the Ger
mans in the Open Then
It Will Be "Good Night, "
They Say.

London, Sept. 5.-The correspondent
of the Reuter- Telegram company at
Ferrieres, near Paris, sends the fol-
lowing:
Our men, though cheerful, are angry
at the continued retreat. They do not
understand the necessity for it. They
are all amazed at the unending num-
Der of the Germans. They say, The
more you kill, the more there are of
them, but If we ever get them in the
open it's good night
''The fighting along the line of the
German advance has been incessant
and desperate.
THE war is hard on the horses.
"Our soldiers are all right, but the
people whom we pity are the thou
sands of fugitives who have been swept
UP and blown away by the marching
armies like chaff before the wind. The
country through which the armies have
passed Is devastated. Dynamited
bridges and tunnels mark the retreat
of the allies and blazing villages mark
the advance of the Germans.
THAT the Germans are in a great
hurry is evident. They advance re-

cause of constant wonder to people
who know the country and the dis

AT a village which was full of troops
few days ago no attempt was made
to halt them. The allies troops fell

the Germans seemingly marched from

as well as its cyclonic speed and force
Leaving Lille, Arras, Amiens and
Beauvais untouched, they have marched

COMMISSION ON THE
TRAIL OF SNUCGLERS

San Francisco, Sept. 5.-The trail of
what is believed to be an organized
body of Chinese smugglers. including
possibly, government officials, turned
up in Boston several months ago, con-
tinued to hold attention of the federal
industrial relations commission in exc
cutive session which closed here to-
day. 1t is said revelations made here
prove smugglers operate through this
port fully as freely as they do through
any other port in the United States.
No details of testimony adduced
here were made public, but all of it
will be embodied in a report to be
made to Washington officials within
a few weeks. The report. it is said,
will be replete with interesting evil
dence of a smooth working smuggling
machine well OF &c with currency.
Among the witnesses heard here was
Richard l. Taylor. a special agent of
the federal secret service. He occu-
pied the witness stand for several
: hours. The managers of local tele-
sgraph companies and several minor
immigration officials also testified.

TOILET CONTRACTS
ON LINKS OF THE
STATE HIGHWAYS

The state highway commission Is in
session at the secretary of states Of
flee at the state house today to let
contracts for road construction of
links of the state highway in Madison
and southeastern counties and to con-
fer with the Ada county commission
ers for the construction of that section
of the east and west highway east out
of Boise to the Gilmore county line.
The members of the committee pres
ent are Chairman Theodore Turner of
Pocatello, Miles Cannon of Weiser,
State Engineer F. p. King and Secre-
tary of State w. l. Clifford, together
with State Highway Engineer Smith.
The commission is endeavoring to
have all counties wanting road con-
structlon work on parts of the highway
system through the counties raise the
necessary funds so that the state ap-
preparation can become available. The
difference required to be raised for the
sale of the bonds must also be forth
coming. The 100000 bond issue is
now being sold off in blocks. Ada
county was apportioned $4,000 for road
construction work but before this
amount of money becomes available the
commissioners of this county must pro-
vide double the appropriation or $780,
600. The total of s45,O 900 raised in this
way will be used for construction of
the state highway in this county and
Will amply cover the expenditure nee
essary. The state link east out of Ada
county to the Elmore county line is
now said to be in bad shape.
with the raising of the funds for
the completion of this part of the state
highway system east and west and the
finishing of the system west, practi-
cally the entire system across that part
of the state will be provided for" said
Chairman Turner today. MANY of
the counties have voted bonds. Bear
Lake was one of the last to do so and
1t voted $4,000 for road construction
recently, Bannock county spends from
$4,000 TO $4,000 annually on its road,
the commissions providing a sufficient
levy to raise this amount so that bond
issues are unnecessary"
Speaking about the move on the
part of the city of Pocatello, of which
he is mayor, to provide a municipal
water works plant for the Gate City,
Mr.. Turner said:
"Pocatello voted 100000 bond is
sue to install a municipal water works
plant, tho bonds recently carrying by
big majority. This issue will pro-
vide, we believe, with an additional
100000. water works plant for city
of 10000 people, which we confidently
believe Pocatello will be. Plans have
all been made for the plant and sys-
tenn and the pipes will soon be deliv-
cred. Under the opinion of the cir
cult court of appeals the present water
works company in Pocatello is with
out franchise. There has been some
talk of Pocatello purchasing the MUIR
ray plant but Pocatello has its plans
made to install~its own plant and will
proceed to do So"

been practically put out of action, any
