The newly appointed county OIL
flcers met in this city Monday for
the purpose of taking their oaths
of Office and making arrange
ments for handling the new coun-
ty of Benewah.
None of the officers had receiv-
ed their commissions but i'm lieu
thereof had received notices from
the secretary of state that their
commissions would be made out
upon the receipt of their oaths
of Office accompanied by five dol
lars.
Attorneys advised the officers
that none of them could take any
official action until their COM
missions ha. dbeen signccd and
that all the commissioners could
do at the present time was to
consult and determine what would
be their future action ON certain
matters that it was very neces-
sary should be attended to at once
particularly the transcribing OF
the records and the procuring of
new books for the officers.
II will necessarily take consid-
cradle time to transcribe the rec
ords and alsot o get the books as
they are not kept in stock but
will have TO be made. The city
was fun of men anxious to tran
scribe the records for a fat con-
& sderatiOn of course, and the COM
missioners spent Monday in list
cning TO their claims and rcceiv-
ing their proposals.

ferent bindery houses anxious tC
secure the contract for making
the books as weel as represent
alives of houses wishing TO make
contracts for furnishing Office
supplies and three representa-
lives of different typewriter com
panies are here asking for an OPP
rortunity to demonstrate the SUI
pcrior merits of their particular

i'm order to get chance to worl
have secured a room on the Koot-
enai Inn for themselves wher'
they can call in the different rep
resntatives one by one and lie
them present their propositions
Besides these matters the com
nissioners have taken up, to
certain extent, the question of tn
number of deputies that will b

II is stated that they have inform
ed the treasurer that he wOul
not be allowed a deputy and ais
that the auditor would only b

WHAT MUNITIONS MEAN

M. Millerand, the French minister
of war, told the deputies yesterday
that France has over 650,000 men
at work in it's munitions service.
The statement as cabled to this
country is not definite enough to
make clear just what he meant; for
it does not say whether these two
thirds of a million men are actually
in factories making articles, or
whether the figure includes men
getting out materials, transporting
products, attending to the great rou-
tine tasks Of direction, accounting,
and the like.
In any case, the number suggests
what a tremendous part of the pro-
ducing energy Of nation must be
given to the fabrication of NUM-
tions. France has about 40 per cent
of the population Of the United
States. 1t has put or is putting
every available man in the fighting
line; it even finds that it has placed
many thousands Of them there who
could better serve the nation in in
dustrial pursuits, and it is with
drawing them from the trenches to
the factories in great numbers.
It is time for the United States
to make an appraisal Of its re-
sources, its present and its prospec-
tive capacity for turning out the
wherewithal of present-day war

right when he said England mus,

1t is, of course, not necessary to remind the Ter

proclaimed and effectively maintained, which this
Government does not understand to be proposed In
this case

destroy vessel entering a prescribed area OF the

the Government OF the United states was
loath to believe- cannot bring itself to believe
that these acts absolutely contrary to the rules
the practices and the spirit of modern warfare,
could have the countenance sanction OF that
Government 1t feels II to be its duty therefore. to
address the imperial German Government concern
ing them with the utmost rrankness and in the
earnest hope that II is not mistaken in expecting
action on the part OF the Imperial German Govern
ment which will correct the unfortunate Impressions
which have oeen created and vindicate once more
the position tnat Government with regard to the
sacred freedom OF the seas.
This Government has already taken occasion to
inform the imperial German Government that
cannot admit the adoption Of such measures such
warning Of danger to operate as in any degree an
of American citizens bound on lawful errends
passengers merchant ships Of belligerent nation
ality: and that 1t must hold the imperial German
infringement OF those rights. Intentional incl
dental.
Manifestly submarines can not be used against
merchantmen, as the last few weeks have shown,
without inevitable violation Of many sacred
principles of justice and humanity.
American citizens act within their indisputable
rights in taking their ships ard In travelling
wherever their legitimate business calls them
upon the high seas, and exercise those rights in
what should be the well lljustlfod confidence that
their lives will not be endangered by acts done in
clear violation Of universally acknowledged inter-
national obligations. and certainly in the
hdence that their own Government will sustain
them in the exercise of their rights.
- warning that an unlawful and
humane act will be committed can possibly be ac-
cepted excuse palliation for that act or as
abatement of the responsibility for its COM
mission.
