STATE HIGHWAY
CONTRACT IS LET
THE WHITTET-RELYEA COMPANY
Of new PLYMOUTH, WILL
DO GRADING BETWEEN
WEISER AND PAYETE

The state highway commission let
the contract last Saturday to the
Whittet-Relye Company, OF New
plymouth, for the grading in Wash
ington and Canyon counties OF the
state wagon road between Payette
and Wciser. 1t was published at the
time that the contract only covered
chat portion of the road lying in
Washington county, but Mr.. ]. F.
Orr, who was in Boise at the time,
was informed by Assistant Highway
Engineer Stewart S. French, that
he contract, as finally closed, en-
braced the entire work Of grading
he road between Weiser and Pay
cite.
The route runs due north On Iowa
Avenue to the railroad track, follow
ing the same to Crystal, then follow
ing the main read to Weiser, thus
shortening the distance between the
two towns three and three-fourths
miles.
1t is presumed that steps will be
taken without delay, probably by the
Payette Valley Auto Club, to inter
est the Canyon county commissioners
n providing means for the compile
ton Of that portion OF the new ate
highway between Payette and the
Washington county line

JACOBSON PARK
WHAT ABOUT It ?
THAT'S WHAT WORRIES OUR
CITY DADDIES--- DONOR SAYS
CONTRACT. HAS BEEN
FORFEITED.

The City park problem bobbed up
as usua9 for discussion before the
city council Monday night and City
Attorney Lyon was instructed to in
Yestigate and submit a definite re-
port of his findings at the next regu-
lar meeting.
1t now seems as if the city would
have to surrender any title it may
have imagined it had, or had hoped
to have, in what is commonly known
as the City Park" to N. A. Jacob
son, who gave it to the city some
years ago, with a string ON it. In
accepting the land from Mr.. Jacob
son, the council at that time entered
into AN agreement by which it pledg-
ed the municipality 20 make certain
improvements and keep up and main
tain the property as city park.
After spending several thousand dol
lars in laying out the grounds, plant
ing trees, constructing cement walks
and curbing and putting in a drain
age system, it was found that some
thing else besides cement walks and
curbing and drainage would be
necessary if the city ever hoped to
transform that particular spot into a
" of beauty" or "a joy for
eve, which subsequently developed
a state of inactivity in that direc-
tion ,as result of which wild nature
held full sway in that cnce enchant-
ed spot, the grass grew not, but the
weeds did thrive and the snail boy
found recreation and the excitement
Of the chase in pursuing with dog
and gun the festive cotton-tail rab-
bit through the tall weeds that fill ed
the meandering paths where the con-
crete walks prevented not their
flourishing growth.
Now comes Mr.. Jacobson, or did
come, or some how or other has ar
rived, with a suit in court, demand
ing that in default of keeping GER
tain covenants and agreems nts here
tofore entered into, the City OF Pay
ette has forfeited all right, title,
pride of possession or inter st in the
ownership Of the said piece of de-
generate soil and praying for the
restoration Of the same to him, the
said Jacobson, together with his
costs and expenditures in the case.
AS has been stated, 1T seems like
a case of misplaced confidence in
Idaho soil, thing so uncommon that
it is almost excusable, even in a
city council. The spot of ground was
sick when the city took 1t in charge
and failed to respond to the treat
ment of the town doctors OF that
and succeeding administration re-
gimes until the case seems to have
been given up as altogether hopeless.
1t is more than likely the present
administration will decide that while
unable to remove the sting of dis
appointment the Jacobson Park prop
osition has inflicted, 1t will be the
better part of wisdom to dfsavow
further interest in the undertaking
by simply allowing the park site to
}and y the original owner, unac-
compafled however, by any of the
benefits which were voluntarily pro-
vided and originally intended as
compensation to Mr.. Jacotson's gen.
Apsity in granting the park site to
the city.

Caring for War S Wounded

The system for the treatment and
evacuation of the wounded British
soldiers in line of battle is described
founded on TWO leading principles
the maintenance of the mobility OF
the army by relieving the fighting
troops quickly of all who become nom
effective. and the rapid removal Of the
SICK and wounded into 4 region where
the best professional skill can be APP
Piled for their benefit under the most
favorable conditions attainable.
Among the many problems encoun-
tered. perhaps the most difficult is the
Co-ordI nation Of the evacuation of the
sick and wounded with the supply OF
food aad ammunition. since nothing
not even the mos; urgent requirenle n is
Of those suferIng-can be allowed to

agemert of road and railway t? fIc
hut also in the sorting of wo- I'D ed
and sick into various classes for trans
port ard treatment, in their allotmen NJ
to vacant beds in the hospitals at the
base and in their removal and en-
harkat!on on hospital ships.
Another difficulty which has been
experienced is that OF reconciling the
ICtd OF seriously WOUNDED men Tor
complete rest. with the necessity for
avoiding the congestion which would
he caused by retaining them al the
casualty clearing station during an ac-
ton. time when very large mum ers
of wounded have to be dealt with Not
many OF such men can be retained at
the clearing stations. and yet. on the
other hand. any movement or jolting
such that caused by a train or
motor journey might involve great
risk to life.
The solution Of this problem has
been found to a limited extent in the
employment of water transport on the
excellent system of canals with which
Northern France is supplied: and seri-
Gus cases of this nature are carried
by barge from the clearing stations
near the front to the most advanced
hospitals on the lines of communica-
lion. BY this means patients in a
critical condition obtain absolute quiet
and far more comfort than is possible
in a clearing station, the main func-
tion of which is to form a channei
that very serious injuries demand. In
deed. such attention is denied to them
by the exigercies of warfare so long
as they remain in the vicinity Of the
fighting line. The barges used for
this work have been specially convert
ed into hospital craft, having been
fitted with operating tables and all
the necessary accessories, and each
can accommodate forty patients with
ease. They are lowed by tugs"

Navy Tests Torpedo Nets

A number Of important experiments
are being conducted under the various
bureaus of the Navy Department.
Among others will be the test OF a new
type of torpedo net. whi.h will be car
ried on under the observation of fleet
officers and torpedo experts at New
port. It will be several months before
the results of this particular trial will
become known to the Navy Department
and probably the details will not be
divulged at any time. These tests are in
the line of the general policy of the
naval designers to solve the problem of
adequate protection against submarine
attack.
Experiments are also being conducted
at the mouth of the Potomac River
with a view to ascertaining the effect
of shell fire on unarmored structures
The firing began during the past week
by an attack on the superstructure Of
the old Puritan. and important inforna-
ton preliminary in its character has
been obtained and reported to the bu-
reau of ordnance. The prime object of
this test is to develop an effective type
Of shell. Secretary Daniels has con-
cluded that it is worth while proceed
ing with tests. and he will probably
make some important recommendations
to Congress along this line.
1t may be that there will be an es-
innate for an increased amount OF
money to be expended under the auspices
of the departmental bureaus for expert
ments of an extensive character Much
must necessarily depend upon practical
demonstrations of this sort and hitherto
both the War and Navy Departments
have been in possession Of inadequate
funds for such work.

fered fracture of the skull. and mos
of these died. The remaining nineteer
had scalp wounds only. In the cas-
of the thirteen armored men, eight
were suffering from cerebral shock
of a more or less severe character
but none of them died. while the re-
naming Ave had merely slight super
fetal wounds or scratches.
Other soldiers. who wore helmets
had received no visible head wounds
at all The Lancet comments:
These figures do not, of course
prove MAT the calotte is an absolute
safeguard against fractures of the
skull by bullet wound or she'll wound
in the trenches. but, as a matter of
fact, in the series of cases studied
there was not single fracture OF
the skull among the protected men,
and DR.. Devraigne concludes that the
value of the metallic headpiece has
been absolutely demonstrated and that
it should be much more generally en-
ployed."
That this conclusion is a sound one
seems to be fairly obvious. The OBJ
lection to the use of armor has been
to a large extent founded upon the
fact that 1t was heavy and difficult
TO make; but modern conditions Of
warfare have discounted the question
of weight to a great extent.

The bill providing for the revision of
the articles Of war will again be present
ed to Congress by the War Department
at the opening of the next session of
Congress.
Last session the measure passed the
Senate first as an independent bill and
afterward as an amendment to the army
appropriation bill. but it was held up in
the conference committee by Chairman
Hay, of the Committee on Military At
fairs.
Mr.. Hay declared that the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs had not had
sufficient opportunity to consider the bill,
and insisted that it be laid over until
the next session.
At the same time Mr.. Hay stated that
he would take the articles up at this ses-
sion so that the House committee might
have ample time to consider the bill.
During the recess the bill of last ses-
sion has been referred to the general
staff. committee of which has reviewed
the bill and the judge advocate generals
report on it with great care.
To give the general staff an opportun-
ity to determine what changes have been
made by the bill, the judge advocate gen.
eral has prepared a report in which the
present articles and the proposed articles
are printed in parallel columns.
Under each paragraph there are e1-
pIanatory notes in which the reasons for
the changes are set forth in detail.
Where new sections are inserted in the
articles TO make them harmonize with
civil law the existing law is placed in a
parallel column with the proposed arti-
cles.
1t is understood that this is the form
in which the new articles will be pre-
scented to Congress.
The military committees will then have
an opportunity to determine just what is
the character of the changes proposed
without an exhaustive study of the new
hill
If there is to be an increase in the
army or any reserve ;. m. it is highly
important that Congress should pass the
necessary legislation 10 bring the articles
of war up to date.
There seems TO be no reason why it
should not do this in the early months
of the session.
The proposed articles are the result of
years of study by officers in the judge
advocate generals Office as well as by
several committees of the line.
No other legislation proposed by the
War department has received more ma
ture consideration than the proposed ar
tic!cs

Army and Navy lettings

Perhaps the most important change IN
the construction of the new battleships
will be the increase in the angle of FIRE
OF the large guns. This change will be
made in response TO the demand for long
er range guns. There is a report that in
engagements between British and Ger
man warships hits have been made at
ranges which up to this time We're re-
earded as beyond the limit at which the
fire Of the largest guns could be con-
trolled. While the accuracy of some of
these figures has been questioned by
United States navy officers. II is under
stood that il is thought wise TO increase
the single of fire in the battleships au-
thorized at the last session Of Congress.
There is not much difference between
the power Of the 14-inch guns in the
United States feet and the 15-inch guns
In the British Dreadnoughts. 1t is claim
ed that the muzzle velocity and other
features OF our guns about offset the diff
ference in the size between them and the
British 15-inch guns. Aside from this.
the triple gun turret construction of the
latest United States battleship gives
more opportunity for hits ethan the two
gun turret of the British ships. With

rection of the wind has become a lead
ing factor once again, as ii was in the
days of bows and arrows, since aero
steel fort has been discredited and the
planes are affected by the wind and gas
attacks determined by it: hand grenades
and bombs have assumed real import
ance. Finally. the question of arnnor for
the fighting man himself has come up
for consideration.
The idea grew in popularity on the
Continent; in a shop window in Calais a
breastplate was exposed for sale many
months ago for which it was claimed
that it would turn aside bullets and
pieces of shrapnel A shield of this kind
was tested very carefully by a group of
private inventors and was finally sub
mitted to the authorities of several of
the nations at war. During the private
tests a revolver was emptied at the
shield while it was being worn. The
shield was also subjected to rifle fire
with, on the whole. good results. The
results We're certainly so good as to
merit more extended trial

from time to time been mentioned in
connection with trench warfare, it being
in these regions that soldiers are fire.
