War munitions for belligerent ma

that the Idaho National Harvester
company is in receipt of an offer OF
a contract for the manufacture of
munitions of war, presumably to be
delivered to the Allies.
The materials named in the offer
include high explosives and shrapnel
bodies, time fuses, rifles, brass cases,
cartridges, gun mounts, field Kitchens
and machine tools. Officers of the
company today refused to comment on
the offer, but it became known that
consideration is being given to the
tender and it is possible the company
may elect to manufacture those COM
modities for which its machine shop
Is best adapted without interfering
with the manufacture of its regular
output of harvesters.
The fact that this offer has come to
an inland town west of the Rocky

adopted by the warning nations to Sc

Definite steps relative to the tender
will be considered by officers and di-
rectors Of the harvester company and
It is probable some decision may be
reached at an early date.

PARIS, Nov. -Monastir, in south
ern Serbia, has fallen, according to re-
liable reports received here today.
With the city evacuated and crushed,
it is believed that the resistance of
the southern Serbs against the Buigars
has ended. No official announcement
of the city's fall was made this morn
ing but the reports of the Bulgar vic
tory are from an unquestioned source.
French and Bulgars Clash
The Bulgarians are not expected to
press the advance much further south
of Monastir because it is less than 10
miles from Greece and the Bulgars
will probably be careful not to violate
Grecian neutrality. Northwest of Mon.
astir the French and Bulgarians are
reported to be in desperate combat.

Gently dropped into Moscow and at
once announcing that he would make
this city his future home Smith, such
lis the name he went under here, car
ried no baggage with him but was pos
sessed of a cello in leather case and
had some few personal belongings. He
is wanted for forging the name of Fa-
ther R. Pecoul to check for $40 on
the Moscow state bank. The forgery
was a clever one and no suspicion was
attached to the check when it was
presented for payment.
The forger is evidently a profess
sional as shown by his manipulations
since coming to Moscow. He secured
quarters at the Idaho hotel on his ar
rival and became employed at the
Strand theatre. Later he gave cello
lessons to few university students
at 50 per hour each. He formed the
acquaintance of Father Pecoul at the
hotel and being of French blood soon
unbosomed himself to the pastor. He
stated that he had left France to es-
cape military service and that he had
plenty of funds. He announced that
he would bring his family here and
it became known today that he had
negotiated for the purchase of valu-
able piece of residence property in the
city.
He secured Father Pecoul's signature
through a subterfuge and then await
ed the time when the pastor was in
Spokane when he presented the check
at the bank and received the money.
He went back to the hotel and paid
his room bill. The case for his cello
he left at the hotel. On Tuesday he
disappeared, but not until today did
Father PecOul suspect tndt anything
was wrong. Going to the bank to in
spect his checks the forgery was de-
tected
When the man arrived here he was
garbed in hunting attire and presented
a fine appearance He was an accom-
plished musician. In displaying photo (
graphs of his family he pointed to one
which he said was his sister who was
IN the stage. The photographs were
al made at Seattle. It is believed he
came here from that point. The bank
lotifed the Burns detective agency at
Spokane Of the forgery and an opers
ative was expected here this afternoon
o take charge OF the case.

whose body was found in a trunk in
the Willamette river last night, was

Mrs. DeCorsey told detectives that
two men rented the room Monday.
One was heavy set and the other
small While the men occupied the
room she heard no noises out of the
ordinary. The larger man made sew
eral trips to the basement yesterday
ostensibly to burn trash. Yesterday
trunk was taken away by an ex-

load it on the wagon. Mrs. De Corsey
gathered from a chance remark that
the murdered man had lived in Bos-

CLIMATE AND
M~ORTALITY.

The health cranks who insist on
the supreme Importance of climate as
n factor in health must be somewhat
puzzled by the latest city mortality
figures.
1t apears that the healthiest large
city in the United States, so far as
the mortality rate is an index to
healthfulnesS, is Seattle. Only Sill
persons per 1000 died there last year.
Next came Los Angeles with 1l.27
deaths per 1000. Cleveland was third,
with 1912 per 1000. and New York,
with 1876 per 1000. In most of the
cities the death rate is much higher.
Zach OF these four healthful cities
has its own characteristic brand of
climate. Seattle is rather uniformly
cool, and during a good part OF the
year Is damp. Los Angeles is uni
formly warm and almost tropical.
Cleveland is subject TO great extremes.
being for the most part hot and sultry
in the summer and very cold and
damp in the winter. New York is
milder and drier. with much more
sunshine.
To make the contrast complete. it
should be noted hat some of the cities
that have clear. dry weather the year
around don't seem to insure longe-
witty any more than cities in differ
ent climate belts. Wet or dry. hot or
cold. statistics show that ii makes far
less difference than most people ina
CINE.
Climate, of couse, is important. But
II isn't the CHIEF factor in health and
long life. The human race can adapt
itself TO any climate. The health con-
ditioons that count most are those over
which the people themselves have con-
trol-their diet, clothing, housing, wat
er supply, sewage disposal, treatment
of contagious and infectious diseases.

Any young man or woman who an
plies for d job to the municipal EN-.
ployment bureau in New York City
has to answer eighty-six questions. of
which these are specimens:

schooling been to you?
DO you take regular exercise? Are
you interested in sports?
What kind OF reading have you
done?
What is your ambition?
Does your mind skip around or con-
ccntrate?
Can you remerber things we'll and
for a considerable period?
What habits or vices do you have
to fight in yourself?
Can you save money?
Are you willing to pay the price in
hard work to attain success?
Undoubtedly such questions touch
vital spots in the chara,t"r and equip
ment of applicants. and accurate re-
plies to the whole list of interroga.
ton would enable a wise vocational
expert to determine the subjects fit.

GENTLY honest--minded to give true

That Is the real difficulty with such
