GUARD AGAINST DROWNING.
Warships Should Be Held In Read,
 mess In Case of Battle.

Correspondence of the AssO. Press.)
 London, July 22.-That warships with physicians and nurses aboard should be held in readiness at ports of the North Sea to guard against a repetition of the large and unneCes- sary loss of sailors by drowning dur ing such a naval battle as that off Jutland is the suggestion of the Nor Wegian newspaper, MOrgenblat.
 The newspaper points out that Dhy- sicians examining several of the Ger man and British sailors washed ashore after tho battle declared that the men could have been saved had they been picked up twenty-four hours earlier.
 The proposal Is made that the Scan dinavian government should open nc gotiations with both the British and German governments looking to the adoption of such measures as pro- posed for the saving of life after flu ture engagem ents. The paper sug- gests that warships for rescue pur- poses be held Tn readiness at Chris tfansand, Gothenburg and Frederik- shaven.

Richardson was this mOrn- ing able to arrest nine-year-Old John Amadio of 10 Franklin street, who is suspected of having stolen two valu- able watches from the home of Mrs Kate Zadrowski of the same address. The boy recognized the officer at a distance and fled precipitately at his approach. Two other small boys were induced to corral the youngster how ever, and they held him for the po- Iiceman.
 On Wednesday morning Mrs. Zad- towski left her home at 7:50 o'clock and went to church. &9When she re- turned an hour later she found all the doors to her tenement open and a gold watch had been stolen from a trunk and a silver watch from the kitchen shelf.
 s Two other children told the police that they had seen the Amadio boy with two watches and his arrest fol- lowed. The youngster denies the theft and tells a story of how he found them.

OLD-TIME TRADITION.
Japanese Custom of Conccaline Sex in
 Case of Weak Boy.

Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
 Tokio, July 2S.-The army con- scription examiners in session at a town in the interior were astounded recently when a young Japanese woman dressed fashionably and car rying a parasol walked into the office and requested examination for mili- tary service. When the applicant eX- plained that "She" was a man and not a woman the examiners recalled an old Japanese custom of concealing sex, a custom which, as it afterward appeared, the applicant was follow- ing.
 Old time tradition held that a physically weak boy should be brought up as a girl from the belief that the child would thus escape the curse of death. The boy was attired in female costume and his hair was allowed to grow long like a girls.
 Yasukichi, the son of Kinzo Mich il1awa the army applicant, was brought up under this tradition which is followed now only in remote dis tricts. He learned to sew and to cook He entered a cotton mill at Osaka and worked as a female operative. No one suspected his real sex.
 The examiners found the young man of perfect physique and health and he has entered the army in mans clothes.

CALL TO NEUTRALS OF
 AMERICAN REPUBLICS
Their Object Being the Complete Res tOratiOn of the Independence of
 Belgium

Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
 The Hague, Netherlands, July 7.- The complete restoration of the inde- pendence of Belgium is the object of a call to the neutrals of the American republics, the three Scandinavian states, Switzerland and Spain, which has been issued over the signatures of 12O university professors, artists, writers and other we'll known men of Holland.
 It is declared that the government and parliament of the German empire, alone of all the belligerents, have off, cially declared that they will endeavor at the conclusion of peace to put an end to the independence of a neighbOr state. Various utterances of the inn perial chancellor are quoted as bear ing this out, and are interpreted as meaning that neither in a military nor economic respect nor even in the ar rangement of such questions as the relationship between the two lan- guages of the country, is Belgium to be mistress in her own house.
 The call to the neutrals says the whole world, with the exception of Germany and her allies, is convinced that the robbery of any state whatever of it's independence must be regarded as a crime and as a source of fresh wars. Ut seems to us necessary" it continues, that this principle shall now be uttered as the emphatic de- mand of neutral peoples-necessary in order that those contemplating an assault on a small neighbor may feel less inclination thereto in the know ledge that such assault will not go un- punished; necessary, too, for the sup port of those in Germany itself who detest the annexation policy. The neutrals have the right, duty and pow CT to sit in judgment where the de- fence of the highest interests of hu- manity is concerned. They can re- fuse to maintain relations with a state which beforehand declares it's in tention to use a small neighbOr to pay the score when the reckoning day comes.'

PERFUMES IN DRUGGISTS NIALS

Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
 Paris, July 22.-Fine French per fumes are now being sold in ordinary druggists vials, corked, instead of in artistic flagons with glass stoppers. This crisis is due to mobilization of glass workers in the North of France, and one of it's revelations is that the art flagon has been representing a considerable part of the cost of per fumes. But among fastidious women the perfumes do not smell so sweet when prosaically presented, and a re- suit is a new industry-that of collect ing old perfume bottles into which the essences may be transferred

County Taxes Win Go Lower.

Clearwater county, if run in bus
iness-like manner, as is now the
policy, should not levy to exceed $50, :
600 per annum, and possibly only $l25, :
900. Last year this county raised
over $3.50, 900 in taxes. County Com
missioner Choat says this is to be a
reality; that the county can be run on
$50, 600 or less per annum. and so far
as the Republican can discover the
estimate is within reason. -Four
years of republican county govern
ment will justify the people in en-
trusting this county in republican
hands. County debt is being wipeC
out; no new Indebtedness is being in.
Cured. Taxes will soon be as low
as in any county in Idaho. There i!
today no graft, no unnecessary ex
penditures of county funds.

County Loses a Good Family.

Mr.. and Mrs. Milo George of Fra
ser left this week for their new home
in Walla Walla. 1t is with feel
ing of regret that the Republican
publishes this information. The COM
pensating thought is that they have
sold their Fraser farm to good
family, so our county will still have
a worthy successor to Mr.. and Mrs.
George. Milo George has been a
good citizen and Mrs. George, by her
CHEEKY disposition, her genial smile
and nieghborliness endeared herself
to a large circle of friends. No
family in Clearwater county will be
more missed. In every line of farm
ing Milo George has been leader.
He has been progressive, doing much
towards improving and bettering the
standards of farm products in his
eighborhood. He had one of the best
improved farms on Weippe prairie,
considering, not so much the char
cater of his buildings as the quality
of what he produced. Mr.. and Mrs.
George demonstrated that there is
money in good cows on the farm, and
by records proved their faith in milk
and dairy products. What they pro-
duced was good, and their products
were sought because these people al
ways maintained high standard of
quality, whether it was a pound of
butter or a head of cabbage. But
what they raised, the material side Of
Mr.. and = Mrs. George, is not their
greatest contribution to Clearwater
county. Long after their neighbors
have forgotten their dairy cows and
cabbage, they will remember the high
standards of citizenship, the sterling
character, the rugged honesty OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Milo George, and it is
for their true worth, their goodness
of soul and heat, that the people will
miss them, and that prompts the
; Clearwater Republican to express it.
. self thus publicly. Let us not wai'
till our friends are laid away to pre-
sent them with our flowers. Ma!
I life's richest blessings 60 with Mr.
{ and Mrs. Milo George.
