The German press comment on the
last note IRON the United States
constantly repeats that the American
government fails 70 grasp the German
view point. The German view point
evidently is that a nation Fighting
foT its existence" is not bound to
respect the rights Of neut-als OF the
obligations she entered into with the
United States in 1928 respecting these
nights. The obligation was entered
into during a time Of peace. Also,

CITIZENS ASKED TO GIVE
DAY TO GOOD ROAD WORK

Saturday, May Is, will be Good
Roads" day in the state of Idaho.
Governor Alexander in a proclamation
has set aside that date to be generally
observed over Idaho to promote the
cause of good roads. The proclamation
is as follows:
Whereas, nothing Is more essential
to the growth and prosperity of the
great state of Idaho than a wise policy
of internal improvement whereby high
ways may be provided to open up the
great undeveioped sections of the state
providing more adequate communication
between sections already partially
developed, and making more accessible
to markets the products OF the soil
as well as the natural products of the
mountains and ranges Of the state
and
Whereas, 1t is only through the
awakening Of a general interest in
the construction Of highways through
out the state and through the assistance
of all the people that the best results
can be attained. and
Whereas, 1t has become a wise
custom that has been pursued with
great profit elswhere;
Nov, therefore, I, M. Alexander,
governor OF the state of Idaho, do
appoint and designate Saturday, May
Is, 1915, as Good Roads Day.
II earnestly request that every
able bodied male citizen of the state
OF Idaho. upon that day. give practical
attention and assistance by their own
endeavor to the construction, repair,

state. and that all organizations
interested in the practical development
Of the state and its highways, including

husbandry, society of equity ,horticuIt
ural and fruit growers associations,
commercial clubs, labor unions, civic
leagues and every other organization
whatsoever, and everywhose aim and
purpose is to aid and the
development of the state, formulate and
caryout plans for utilizing to the
best possible advantage all the means
that may be Offered or that can be
secured upon the aforesaid date to
carry out the purpose OF this proclama-
ton"

WHEN THE WAR CLOSES, WHAT

Assuming that the war In Europe
/ will run it's course and finally cease
from exhaustion, and that our country
will escape Involvement in 1t, what
then?
The foreign ships will again ply un-
restricted between those countries and
ours. Europe will be loaded down with
millions of people pauperized by the
war and for bare expenses these ships
will transport those poor people to any
country they may desire to go to. 1t
is inevitable that the great bulk of
them will desire to come to our shores.
We have been receiving and assimi,-
ating narly one million per annum of
Europe's poor for the past twenty
years. What a be done with the add
ed host? II will be one of the most
serious questions that our republic
can be confronted with.
They will come embittered, rancor-
ous; tent of thousands of them with
the idea that in this land of liberty
they can do as they please; the half
servitude of the old world removed.
and all their lives having respected
nothing bu; force; what will be their
effect when turned loose upon us?
The first result will be TO reduce
the price of labor. w en- that comes
what will our own laboring men do?
With the cost of living their present
wages are in a hundred fields too low
when the cost shall he aevahced and
the rates of wages reduced, what will
follow? Our day of trial will come
then.
One would think that the men In
control of u government would be
thinking of these things and would be
planning TO divert at least a part OF
this sinister flood to other shores.
There is plenty of rich and vacant land
to the south of us upon which such
products ear be raised as the world
wants. If the flood could be turned
upon those lands and help given the
Door men and women to make a start,
that would be cheaper than to try to
assimilate them among our own peo-
pie.
There is a vast area between the
mouth of the Rio Grande and Patagonia
that would be the better for their
work. Cannot at least a part of the
host be diverted away from our coun-
try?
Has Mr.. Bryan anticipated this and
counseled with the ministers from
these countries to see what can be
done? Great Britain can dispose of
her surplus in her own colonies. There
is room in Canada, Australia and At
RIGA for all he surplus, but on the
continent il is different.
1t may be said the fear is unneces-
sary. That all that will be left will be
needed to fill the places of those who
have died in the war.
Alas, among those who have died
are thousands and hundreds of thou
sands who planned the work of and
paid the millions for their labor.
Who can supply the means to re-
claim h desert that the war has made
The governments will be well-ni~'
bankrupt; so will the men and COM
panies that employed and paid the
laborers. Surely the outlook is not
