Submarines Attack and
Sink British Vessels in

FRENCH COAST AND
IRISH SEA VISITED
Five Merchant Ships Sunk Within Two
Days by Bold German Submarine
Naviaators-crews Of All Vessels
Rescued, According to Admiralty
tsmsnts-Germany Planning to
Cripple British Shipping.

London, Feb. 1.-The Germans nave
followed up their submarine attack on
shipping in the Irish sea by similar
exploit in the English Channel where
the steamers Tokomaru and 1caria
have been torpedoed and sent down.
This fact was communicated Sun
day from Paris in report Of the
French war ministry.
Announces Third Ship Sunk.
simultaneously the British admiralty
announced that the steamer Kilcoan
had been sunk in the Irish sea by the
German submarine 21 in Its raid OF
Saturday, in which the Ben Cruachen
and Linda Blanche also were sunk.
The crew of the Kilcoan was landed
today on the Isle Of Man by q coast
wise steamer.
The irish Sea raider easily escaped.
ard shipping interests, confident that
it has returned to it's base, ordered a
resumption of normal traffic today.
French Announce Loss.
The French ministry Of marines
official statement announcing the raid
off Havre says:
"The Tokomaru was sunk by a
torpedo from a German submarine.
The English vessel Icaria also was
orpedoed in the same locality.
I'm the Irish sea the English steam
srs Linda Blanche and Ben Cruachen
we're torpedoed.
Hitherto the Germans before at
tacking q merchant vessel always al
lowed the crew sufficient time to en-
bark in the ships boats. That custom
has now been abandoned. as was
shown by the rbombardment OF the nd
miral Ganfeaufne, which was helled
with belgian women and childrenfefu-
gees. The German marine has decided
to violate systematically and deliber-
ately International law.
Grew Of Tokomaru Saved.
The Tokomaru was a vessel OF 1912
tons. It sailed from Newcastle, New
South Wales on Oct. 90. Shipping
records make no mention Of the Icaria.
The crew was rescued by the trawler
Temper.
The French steamer Admiral Can
teaume, to which reference is made In
the statement Of the minister OF ma
rine, was sunk on Oct. rs. while on
Its way from Calais to Havre with a
throng Of Belgian refugees. of whom
forty lost their lives. The British ad-
miralty later announced that the ship
was sunk by a German submarine.
The German submarine 21, which
rafded the Irish sea, is the same ves-
sci which last September torpedoed in
the North sea the British cruiser Path
finder, with loss of 246 lives, and
later destroyed two British steamers
off Havre. It found numerous vessels
in the waters to which it has centered
Its activities.

READ AND SAVE MONEY

We have in our midst several persons
who are addicted to the use of morphine
and other such drugs, and who are at
present soliciting aid from the citizens
of our community. Some Of. these per-
sons have small articles for sale with
no definite price. They offer to sell
you their article and when price is
mentioned they suggest that you can
pay what you will. one even went so
far as to suggest that many people
not desiring his article of merchandise
told him so, but gave him quarter
to assist him on his way, a neat way to
beg. In his tale of woe he tells you
that he has been sick, or some thing,
and that he must have further treat
ments from some physician whom he
must go to at great cost, and SO on.
1t is our policy to aid worthy people,
but to in any way assist people who are
too Indifferent as to their own health
and the good of a community to make
themselves producers, and who will
wantonly go from place to place as
professional beggars, would in our eyes
be aiding them to their own and our
communities destruction. It is our
policy to inform you, and as side
hint suggest that word to the wise
is sufficient.

NEWSPAPER M1LA0E
TO BE DISCONTINUED

On and after July l, 1915, the Ore
gon Short Line will discontinue the
practice of exchanging advertising
for use in this state in payment for
advertising. This means that newspa-
permen will not be able to ride on ad.

quired to pay cash fares to the Oregon

been forwarded by d. E. Burnley, gen
eral passenger agent of the road, to the
publishers of newspapers in Idaho. This
communication says in part:
effective July l, 1915, the Oregon
Short Line railroad company will dis
continue the practice Of exchanging ad-
vertising mileage or advertising trip
tickets in payment for advertising
Thereafter, any advertising authorized
or contracted for by this company will
be on a cash basis.
"Any advertising mileage issued
prior to March %, 1915, is limited to
December 81, 1915, Is limited to that
date and credit given for any unused
mileage returned promptly at the end
of the year. Amy advertising mileage
or trip tickets issued subsequent to
March %, 1915, will be limited to the
end of the present fiscal year, June 30.

EDITOR PHILLIPS HERE

L. w. Phillips of Pocatello, the pro-
prietor and editor of the daily Chronicle
of that enterprising town, which for
years has been graveyard for news
papers, was in Blackfoot yesterday and
made the Optimist a welcome visit. Mr..
Phillips feels very hopefully of the
field of his journalistic venture where
so many before him have failed, and is
working and spending to make it a
success in the field that should support
two newspapers if they are fair with
themselves and their patrons. It costs
considerable money to comfortably sup
port two newspapers. but if Pocatello
cannot do it the enterprise end liber-
atty OF its business men and citizens
have been greatly exaggerated by
Charles Sumner and his predecessors.
IT Pocatello has $4,000 population and
cannot support two newspapers there is
something wrong with, the population.
Mr.. Phillips was accompanied by
former Blackfoot boy, James McHold,
who is one of the Chronicle force.

IMPORTANT WATER
INFORMATION.

The General Land Office at Washing
ton is all the time making stricter reg
ulations and decisions as to the title
OF desert land entrymen to the water
used by them in irrigating their claims.
In letter received a few days ago
at the local land office, the commission
er of the General Land Office directed
that hereafter when a desert land appli-
cation or a final proof shows that the
entryman derives his water from well
he must show that the water is not
drawn from subterranean stream. but
is derived from percolating waters, as
the title to the water in subterranean
streams is in the State of Idaho. How
ever, if the water is drawn from a sub
terranean stream, the entryman may
apply to the state engineer for the usual
license to use the water, upon showing
of prior application and beneficial use
as in the ease of surface streams.
In another letter, the commissioner
of the General Land Office directs the

A CHOICE FOR ALL

Now that the Republicans have
named Republican ticket composed Of
Republicans with one exception, and
the Democrats have named non-parti-
san ticket composed of candidates of all
political compilations, there should be
no excuse for every voter not getting
his choice, as they are all worthy of a
ballot. When the Republican slate
makers put their ticket in the field,
they did not do SO with the selfish
motive that only Republicans should
rule, as many Of them favored non
partisan ticket, but the idea prevailed
that all candidates for a public trust
should be held responsible by some
party. They then believed that the
Democratic party would nominate a
Democratic ticket, which would give
Progressives and Socialists a chance to
make their selections, thus giving non
partisan voters chance to vote for
the best man regardless of party. The
time has long passed into political
oblivion when a Republican must sup
port the nominee of his party, or a
Democrat is intimidated from voting for
the man Of his choice in any party. In
small city elections where only good
men are nominated for office in all
parties, all voters should be non parti-
san and support the candidates who
have the ability, experience and time
to discharge the duties entrusted to
them economically and impartially for
the best interest Of themselves and the
city at large. There should be no per-
sonalities or political animosities to pre-
vent the people from harmoniously and
friendly pulling together for a more
populous and prosperous community,
whore people can enjoy each others
companionship, and share each others
prosperity.
