Brussel- via Amsterdam to London,
Oct. GA semi-officia! statement has
been issued here relative to the case of
Miss Edith Cavell, the English nurse,

THE American ambassador at Lon

ments to the press and had them dis
trihuted abroad ny Reuter- Reuter's

I'm these documents most of the i'm
rortant events are ina rcurately repro
duced. Particularly is the impression
created that the German authorities with
empty promises put off tho American min

ceal from him pronounccment of the
death sentence. or the possibility of in
tervention in Miss Cavel's behalf
Such n promise was never given by
the German authorities and could not
therefore have hecn broken. This was
admitted by the American minister in
Brussels when the matter was discussed
with the German authorities.
THAT the American ambassador in Lon
don was wrongly Informed cannot be eX-
plained by the fact that the Belgian advo-
cate, who as attorney for the American
legation played a part in this incident
caused a misleading construction to be
placed upon his reports.

from outside of Moscow, there having
been two classes, Moscow and the

Notes of the Fair
Gathered at Random

The award by the judges for the
best general float in the school chill
dren's parade yesterday was annouc-
ed last evening as going to Moscow
ga grade. The float was the work of
the ga and 5-B of the Moscow schools
and those two grades shared in re-
ceiving the first prize.
A booth under the grandstand is
filled with the vegetable exhibits OF
Elwln Scheyer and Ragnar Kullberg,
two I4-year-old boys of Moscow who
do their share in the making Of the
Latah County Fair, and these boys in
future years will probably be leaders
in that enterprise. The former re
ceived first, and the latter second
prize, mainly because there couldn't
be two first prizes and there must be
a distinction if not difference. Their
exhibits would have been creditable in
the main agricultural hall and the
boys have a right to be proud of their
work.
The Genesee school had rs per cent
of it's enrolment in the parade yes
terday, twenty automobiles being used
to convey the people from that city
to the fair, together with all their
teachers and four of six members OF
the school board.
The interest taken in the fair by the
University of Idaho is shown by an
exhibit arranged by it's professors in
the agricultural building, showing
grains grasses, fruits and vegetables,
etc. The most interesting feature of
this exhibit is of dried fruits and veg
etables, and of fresh vegetables pre-
served in solutions. There are also
several interesting cases of botanical
specimens.
In the poultry division prizes were
awarded to B. e. Callison Of Kendrick,
Roy Drury and Anna Breckner, in the

CARRANZA CONSUL
SHIFTS THE BLAME
ASSERTS ENEMIES OF CARRANZ-
ISTAS ORGANIZED THE ATTACK
AGAINST SOLDIERS
Officials Positive That Carranzista
Soldiers Shielded Fleeing Mex
leans at PrOgressO

By the United Press Associations.
BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Sept. 90
The blame for the Mexican attack up
on American soldiers at Progresso
yesterday was shifted upon Carran-
za's enemies by the Carranzista en-
sui here. He declared that the en-
emies fearing that the United States
was about to recognize Carranza, or
ganized the attack in order to make
it appear that the CarranZa soldiers
were making war against the troops
on the border.
Despite the statement, officials are
positive that regular Carranzista SOL
diers participated in the attack and
shielded the fleeing Mexicans by a
protecting fire from trenches a:ross
the river. The situation is intense.
While there has been no resumption
of the battle, soldiers and citizens are
constantly on guard fearing a more
serious outbreak. Twenty-eight Mex
leans were killed or wounded in the
Progresso fight which cost the ife
of one American soldier and the IL
jury of another.

poorly while Red made gain, adding
more on the fourth. which was rid
den hard by both parties, Red winning
in 3:41, Smith 3:43, making their
lapsed time 17:1112 and 17:12 re-
spectively. Lewis made the same
trailing ride characteristic of the prev
ious days but at the third half in ma

up unconscious, and the ride ccm-
pleted by a helper. The watch ran
down before the time could be taken.
The wild mule race was again the
comedy event of the day and made
lots of fun for the youngsters and
the oldsters. After two mules had
been driven rode, and otherwise coax
ed around the track Tom Bills was
winner and Bed Jory second.
The School Program
The program of athletic events ar
ranged for the school boys and girls
did not bring a very large field of
contestants in any event and few of
them were enlivened with strong COM
netition, but many of the youngsters
seemed to get much enjoyment out OF
it. The summary of winners in the
events is as follows.

TOXIC, Sept. 25.-The Allies are
reported as planning to ask Japan to
either send troops to the Dardanelles
to aid in quick dash to Constahti-
nople, or to Russia to make it impossi
BILE for Germany to divert troops from
the Slav operations toward the Bal
kans. No official confirmation was
obtainable but the report attracted
comment in view of the probable en-
trance of Bulgaria in the European
conflict. 1t is known that the request
will be refused the Allies if it is
made
Tide Turning Against TeutOns

ture of Pinsk and Dubno fortresses by

FINE PROGRAM TODAY

In front of the grandstand today on
the speedway at the track the events
of the day are being carried out under
clear Skies Not the least of the at
fractions at the fair during the week
has been the concerts by the Moscow
The big audience fully appreciated the
splendid numbers rendered and clear
ly demonstrated the value of the band
organization to the success of any big
entertainment. During the week the
visitors at thefair have also been en-
tertained by Claude Heard, baratone
soloist, and by Master Edward Carey,
the youngest cornetist in the world.
Both acquitted themselves creditably.
Live Stock Parade
The parade of live stock passed the
grandstand at 1870 with the ribbon
winners decked out in all their best
dress. The stock of Brown & Mood
and c. F. Sawyer, Percheron Shire,
Belgian and Hackney horses led and
brought from the auditors many ex-
pressions of admiration for their
beauty, and prime condition, evidence
of the care of their grooms. The i'm
proved breeding of Palouse horses in
recent years has received much com
mendation and this exhibition showed
where much better blood was coming
from The cattle display was good
but in point of numbers was not up to
the standard of past years at the fair.
The livestock division at the fair has
been in charge of Mayor Gibson who is
thoroughly posted on the subject and
the courtesy shown exhibitors of live
stock brought forth much commenda
ton from the owners.
Yesterdays Features Good
Of the regular fair program Fri
day the first event was an exhibition
of double Roman hippodrome riding
that pleased. Following came the
chariot race and it proved to be
hummer, Smith won in a whirring
finish after a real race throughout the
full half mile, and the time, :01 gives
some idea of the speed with which it
was run.
The 7-16th dash brought four start
ers to the wire and they required con-
siderable time in getting away, jockeys
looking for the advantage of the get
away which counts so much on short
races. When away Teddy Roosevelt
and Judge took the lead and had a
horse race all the way, Teddy winning
in a driving finish by half length.
Judge second, and Bessie third

to the most interesting of the week,
