EXISTING POWERS
MAY BE EXTENDED
To Protect the Government
Ministers Against Or
gained Attacks

London, Nov. 5--The London morning
papers see a threat of drastic extension
of the press censorship in the statement
in the House of Lords by Sir Stanley G
Buckmaster, the former head OF thu
press bureau: 1--WE must have strin
gent censorship. If newspaper attacks
are to be concentrated on a particular
minister and then on another, 1T may
| be matter for consideration whether
the existing powers should not be ex-
tended"
Baron st. Davids, who has gained a
reputation for outspokenness since he
became a member of the upper chamber,
started the discussion by demanding that
full meeting of privy council, which
is composed of some hundreds of mem
bers from all parts of the empire, should
be called to discuss the present position
of affairs. Unlike most OF the critics
Of the government, he believed that the
war would have been better conducted
by the Liberal government than by the
present coalition. The late government,
he said, carried on the war with great
vigor, while, since the coalition was
formed, no extraordinary vigor was no.
ticeable. He declared that those who
have made mistakes should be
Strapped" and that hereafter no man
should be given office merely because
of former services, or rank or wealth.
Lord Willoughby de Broke declared
that Premier Asquth should be held re-
sponsible for all mistakes. IF Russia
could get rid of Duke Nicholas in the
middle of the war" he said, England
could get rid of Asquith."
Viscount Morley of Blackburn depre-

THIS CHICKEN WELL DRESSED
Idaho 5iddy Has a Full-Dress Flannel
Coat and Seems to Be
Proud of II.

The proudest chicken in Boise lives
on West State street.
The bird has NO medals for pedi-
gree, no certificates for being cham

havior, or unusual size. Yet without
any Of these attachments. this fowl is
the observed of all observers. Citi-
zens go blocks out Of their way to see
the bird. which struts with pride be-
fore their view.
This fowl claims the distinction of
being the only bird in Boise to pos
sess swallow-tail overcoat. Its own
er takes personal interest in all her
hens, and it was with tome concern
that she noticed during the summer
that one of the late spring chickens
failed to develop any feathers on its
back. i
When the cool evenings came on
last fall the bird seemed to feel the
cold, and its owner made from an
old flannel shirt unique coat. mod
eled after a full-dress coat. with no
front to speak of, but plenty of back
and tail. Sits were arranged for the
birds wings, and the fowl seems to
others in the coop to be particularly
proud OF the costume.
