templating Trip to Frisco Will
Not Be Entrapped

Boise tatesman-Young girls con-
templatihg seeking employment in
California this summer are strongly
warned not to go there. At the con-
ference of committees of the General
Federation of Womens clubs, held at
Chicago last summer the chairman
Iof the social and industrial conditions
department passed resolutions urging
every state federation of clubs to as
sumo the responsibility of printing
and posting throughout their respec-
tive states warning to keep girls
from going alone to San Francisco in
1915 The committee wishes the
clubs of the country to give the utmost
publicity concerning this danger.

Mrs. Ishman Sedgwick Wendell; Mrs.
George Axline, Albion, and Mrs. G. J.
Orland, Moscow The members are
urging all the papers of the state to

the purpose of establishing houses
of prostitution and are doing all i'll

the Dardanelles is now developing
along new lines with troops partici-

Fooled the Enemy

A German attack was made last
might. 1t was preceded by the spread
ing of asphyxiating gases along the
Belgian front. The Beigians had
stuffed their noses with cotton and
lay to the ground. The Germans
thinking them overcome charged en-
masse. When close to the allied lines
the Belgians fired. The German line
was staggered and retreated in dis
order, leaving great piles of the dead.

BRAINS VS.. STARVATION

AZ OsT persons on reading that
AVA the American commission fol
the relief Of Belgium had raised
:, $65, 5,000.0 900 and had managed to feed
not only the 1000. 900 sufferers there
but more than 100000 in France,
where the Germans are in occupation,
have assumed that all this money had
como from the United States. SAYS
the Philadelphia Inquirer. This is
in error. but It is a fact that It has
been raised by the American commits
sion under circumstances which have
TO parallel In history. and which show
that brains count for more than
money In q crisis.
i At the start the commission was al
most helpless. it being confined to Sc
curing provisions and distributing
them as well as possible. But this
was not satisfactory. What the COM
mission did was to organize the
finances and the industry of Belgium.
to erect great banking and CONNER
cial trading institution whereby
money and credit were exchanged for
provisions. 1t was an instance OF big
business foresight and organized in
telligence, which is unknown in war
history. II was American organizing
and executive capacity which accom-
plished this. Americans have contrib
uted less than $10.0O0.O00 in all,
which has kept the commission work
ing and allowing them to purchase
and sell for less than the London
prices. \
The people OF Belgium, overrun |
and trampled into the soil of their
own hearthstOnes, were kept alive. !
And when the Belgium relief story is |
told it will be one of the brightest
chapters in the conflict, and one In !
which every American can take pride.
And they are not stopping there, but
are now pushing onward into the war
zone to aid the helpless children, de-
crepit and aged grandfathers and
who have been driven ,
from their homes along the battle
lines.
Thousands of these have been wide
y scattered and separated from home
and each other. BY special arrange
ment with the German government.
they are to be returned to their coun-
Try via Switzerland. which means q

SWEDISH VESSEL
SUBMARINE IS MISTAKEN FOR
BRITISH VESSEL. SAYS
TRAWLER COMMANDER.

Stockholm, Oct. 22.-Swedish news.
papers express indignation at the at
tack by German armed trawler. on
the Swedish submarine Hvalen of
Ystad yesterday. Although it was
said the submarine. was mistaken by
the Germans for British craft, Swed-
ish newspapers state that the weather
was clear and that the vessels flag
was easily distinguishable, so that
there should have been no doubt as to
the nationality Of the vessel. 1t Is
said the submarine was in Swedish
waters when attacked.
Additional details of the incident
were received today. These reports
state that the German trawler fired
several shots and then hoisted a sig
nal of inquiry as to the identity Of
the submarine. On learning of their
error the Germans gent officers to
make an apology and dgiye assurance
that compensation would be made
willingly

SCOUT CRUISERS
TO De VERY FAST

Washington, D. c., Oct. %. The
ten scout cruisers contemplated In tho
Ave year building program to be re-
commended to congress will be the
swiftest vessels of this class ever built
If tentative plans now under consider
alton by the general board are ap-
proved.
They will be of greater displacement
than the cruisers Salem, Chester and
Birmingham, the only craft Of the kind
now in service, but will have a sustain
ed speed Of thirty knots or more an
hour and maximum speed probably
in excess of the thirty-five knot gait at
which the giant battle cruisers to be
built will be able to travel in an
emergency.
The navy now has many destroyers
which can make thirty knots in calm
sea and many more will be added with
in the five year period. They are so
low in the water and so light in weight
however, that they cannot maintain
this speed in rough weather or for any
considerable distance. The new
scouts will be big enough and carry
enough fuel oil to cross the Atlantic
at swifter pace than the fastest pre-
sent day liners, keeping up the race in
all but the heavy storms.
