A NEW NATION.

A somewhat fanciful story comes
from Berlin that Kaiser Wilhelm is
planning to cut out of the present
territories Of Russia a new nation.
According to the story, German states
men do not consider it desirable to
incorporate into the empire a large
number of aliens who would be a
source of weakness rather than of
strength. 1t is believed by the en-
peror and his friends that it would
be possible to establish in the terri
tory Immediately east of the present
German boundary a nation of suffi-
cient territory and population to en-
able it to serve as permanent de-
Tense against the danger of Russian
aggression.
Such a nation would not only in
clude the territory formerly part
Of Poland but would extend far to
the southeast, to the Deniper river
and the Black sea. Thus Russia would
be separted from the Balkans as well
40 iiVih ptiuidHy anu huSIi IA II ui
gary.
If these territories were annexed to
Germany, it is argued, they would re-
main for long time anti-German in
sentiment, and they would look to
Russia as their future deliverer. If
they were made an Independent state,
they would look to Germany as their
liberator and to Russia as the power
that would be trying to bring them
back into subserviency.
1t is said that the kaiser is openly
in favor of this plan, and that it is
because of his interes. along this
line that so much effort is being de-
voted to pushing the campaign in
Russia. Whether future events will
put it into the German power to car
ny it out, and whether the emperor
will be able to resist the activities
of those who desire that all terri
tory conquered by the German armies
shall be permanently annexed to the
empire, remains for the future to de-
eide.

WHAT WAR MOVES MEAN.

NEW YORK, Oct, 8.--H the Ger
man estimate is correct that the
French have suffered 10000 casual
ties in the present western offensive
and the British have lost $4,000 men,
then unquestionably the efforts to
force the German lines in Artois and
Champagne must be considered fail
ure. The measure of success as the
allies have just won in the west is
the casualty lists. A temporary ces-
sation Of the attack tells nothing vital
by itself. 1t would be quite nor
NAL for the allies to cease their Of
fensive for a moment in order to con-
solidate positions that have been won
and to prepare for new artillery
assault.
If however, the brief grains have
been very costly to the assailants
there can be little expectation that a
renewal Of the offensive will be sue
cessful A loss of nearly 200, 900 mer
is too hight price to pay for the
small areas that have ben won ir
Champagne and Artois.

AMERICANS IN THE
FRENCH AIR SERVICE
By william Philin simms.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent J
PARIS, Sept, 13-(By Mail }
After the war is over the American
aerial legion now enlisted with the
French forces 'for the period of the
war;" will return to America as the
''Escadrille Americaine" and promote
propaganda for more thorough Ameri-
can aerial defense.
American members of the French
Foreign Aerial legion already have
asked the French government to in
corporate them into single aerial
squadron under the leadership of C.
r. Weymann, dean of the American
fliers and once-winner of the Inter
national Aviation cup.
The squadron't individual exploits
would be recorded under the collective
title of "Escadrille Americaine."
These American boys have played
and are playing an important part
through daring aerial raids, Frances
reputation for mastery of the skies.
Weymann has shot down a German
taube he caught circling over Rheims,
Other daring exploits are to his cred
it. He is held in high esteem by the
French on an equality with the best
French aviators.
Eight other Americans by enlist
ing for the period of the war and
undergoing the required training have
already received their licenses. Eleven
more are just winding up their pro-
bationary period.
Aside from the regular training
!! which they have undergone as pilots
they have been given by the French
government all Of the special instruc-
ton necessary.

Recognition with
String Attachments

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct, o.
Recognition of Carranza with string
attached seemed probable when the
Fourth pan-American conference met
today.
A tentative program recommends
that Carranza be recognized as pro-
visional president.
1t was declared that he apparently
has the necessary military and moral
capacity to fill the position"
The conference suggested that form
al recognition be postponed for few
weeks in order 10 give Carranza time
to perfect his plans and to determine
what Villas action will be.

ride the British and French within
striking distance of critical section
of the German front, that fact would
be full justification for the slaugh-
ter. But, there is no evidence that
the German line anywhere is in a
critical condition because of the last
attacks.
1t is impossible to confirm the
German estimate of the enemy's casu-
alties. Eventually, the British casual
,ty list will be issued from London
but France does not make public her
losses. The recapture Of the Hohen-
zollern redoubt from the British and
of nearby positions from the French,
suggest, however, that the allies must
have suffered heavily since sufficient
reserves were not at hand to hold the
gains and consolidate them with the
previously won front.
The growing delay in opening a
second artillery assault against the
German lines may also be an indica-
ton that the allies losses have been
very heavy. Had there been full salts
faction among the allies commanders
with the result Of the first attack last
week, it is highly probable new
effort would now be under hdad-
way.

rigationist of last week gives the fol
lowing regarding the reorganization:
At a meeting of the Board of Di
rectors held on Monday evening of
this week the First National Bank of
Wendell made several changes in
conformity with plans to reorganize
that bank.
j. n. Watson was elected vice pres
ident to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of II. E. Barrett, who
has for some months desired to re-
tire from the active management of
the bank in order that he might give
his attention to his large interests in
this community F. K. Eichelberger
was elected cashier to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of F. K.
Kicker, and Mr. Kicker was elected
assistant cashier.
Mr.. Watson was, until the time of
consolidation of the Wendell banks,
vice president of the Wendell State
Bank. Under the reorganization he
retains the same position in the First
National Bank and will lend to that
bank the same sound and conserva-
tive counsel he uses in conducting his
own business affairs.
Mr.. Eichelberger has. for the past
l 3 years, been connected with bank
ing institutions of Nebraska and Ida
no. the last years of which he has
been cashier of the Jerome State
Bank and the First National Bank OF
Jerome. He comes to our commun-
ity highly recommended and will
have active charge of the affairs OF
the First National Bank here.

Gets Good Income from Cows.

From 80 to 107 pounds of ranch
butter weekly is the amount brought
to Boise by Mrs. w. H. Casey of ru-
raj route No. /, on the bench, says
the Capital News. Mrs. Casey finds
that the cows are the money makers
on the ranch. She disposes of her
butter at one store regularly and
that store has customers for every
pound she brings to market. Mrs.
Casey receives from her butter out
put from $3.50 to s24.6O weekly at
present with wholesale price at %
cents per pound.
The grocer who handles her butter
states that if more attention was paid
by farmers wives in making butter
and turning out high class product,
all the butter they could make would
find ready sale and the cows on the
ranch would produce a good steady
income.
