hills of summer squash. of which l was
specially proud. One evening l went
out to inspect them. and they looked
fine They had unfolded their true
leaves and had every appearance of

next evening they were mere perfora-

had descended upon them and eaten the
leaves so full of holes that microscope

for another hole. There wasn't any

the souashes. They seemed too far

appearance as if beetles never had
visited them.

they are to be members. Jim was
member of a troop in the city. but
never advanced beyond the tenderfoot
class his entire experience covering a
period of less than two months. So the
boys are starting in on an equal foot
ing, and no farther advanced than the
other boys who have had no scout ex-
perience. A young man named Petit,
who was connected with scout work in
the city for several years. as assistant
scoutmaster of troop, I think. is to

petition. They cook their own break
fasts. clean up the dishes, put camp
in order and report at home in time to
begin morning chores on schedule.
One morning recently when it was
raining Jane insisted that l go and
have them come to the house for break
fast. ! demurred at first, but Jane was

 the French and British cabinets and it's meeting has been held in Paris. The members of the council will CO., operate in the conduct of the war, as previously announced by Premier As quith. and it is expected that Russia and Italy will be represented at an early date.
 It is understood that the situation in the Balkans. in the Dardannlles and on the western front have been under review as naval and military experts were utilized in advisory capacity.
 The attitude of Greece and the situ- ation in the Balkans, according to London dispatches, are giving the en- tente powers much concern but some reliance is placed on the efforts of the diplomatic representatives of these powers at Athens and of M. Denys Co., chin. of the French cabinet. who is also at the Greek capitol. to bring the Greek king and government to a definite de cision of the future Greek policy.

 Whether the Bulgarians have been able to force the defending Serbians out of the Bahuna pass and open the gateway to Prilep and MOnastir, has not vet been officially stated.

Will Reply Today

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 17-Presi- dent Wilson's telegram to Governor Sprv, requesting a reconsideration of the case of Joseph Hillstrom, under sentence of death for murdeu will probably be answered tomorrow. The governor had the message under con sideration this afternoon and an nounced tonight that he expected to have an answer ready tomorrow. The governor would not indicate the nature of his reply.
 The presidents second intervention in the case caused great astonishment and wide comment here today. Hill- strom was sentenced to be executed October 1. He was granted respite on September 30 by the governor at President Wilson's request. In that instance the president acted on re- quest from Swedish Minister Eken gren, who was especially urged by Governor Spry to submit new reasons or facts to justify clemency at the meeting of the board of pardon, OctO Der 1G.
 No new facts were presented at that meeting and Hillstroms attorney said he knew Of nothing to be added to what had already been offered in the case. The request of the president to- day coming again just on the eve of the date set for the execution, has aroused great curiosity here as to what reasons have been presented to the president to obtain his intervention No new evidence in the matter has been made known here since the case was originally tried. A local firm of attorneys not previously associated with the case examined the records recently at the request of the Swedish minister and have forwarded their re- port by telegraph to him. They decline to indicate the nature of their report.
 Arrangements for the execution have not been changed. HillstrOm is said to show signs of nervousness at times but otherwise maintains the attitude he has assumed from the first and refuses to give any details of the circumstance es under which he says he received his bullet wound the night J. G. Morrison and his son were murdered here. Hillstrom was convicted of their mur- der.

EFFORT TO HAVE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-An effort may be made in the near future by the department of justice to secure indictments against Robert Fay and others connected with the alleged plot in New York to blow up intuition ships under the section of the crim- ships. the criminal section of the Sherman law It is understood that information now is being gathered to aid the department in determining whether there has been a conspiracy in restraint of foreign commerce such as to justify presentation to a. fed eral grand jury.
 Department of justice officials all ways have expressed doubt of the possibility of convicting Fay and his associates under the so-called piracy sections of the criminal code under which they recently were indicted. The recent trip of District Attorney Marshall to Washington is under. stood to have been for the purpose of deciding uron indictments under an- other section of that code.

 FROM PENF|ELD
IRepublcan A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-American Ambassador Penfield today cabled the state department an official state ment concerning the sinking of the Italian steamship Ancona, which had been handed him by the Austrian for eiSn office, apparently before he re ceived the departments instructions, cabled yesterday to seek the Vienna version of the tragedy
 The text of the communication Vir- tually is identical with that given out in Vienna by the Austrian admiralty and sent to this country by wireless from Berlin. It says that the Ancona fled at full speed when a warning shot was fired across her bow and it denies the allegation of the Italian government that the steamer was shelled after she had come to a stand still and that other shots were fired at lifeboats and at persons swimming in the sea.
 After the receipt of the report it became known that Secretary Lansing considered that the state department has now in it's possession sufficient official information to form the basis to form an inquiry of Austria Hun gary regarding it's attitude toward the conduct of submarine warfare. The secretary indicated, however, that no communication would go forward until a reply had been made to questions submitted to the Austrian foreign of flee by Ambassador Penfield
