Notre Dame has to her credit a

as fully as strong as last year. The
Army however, has proved itself a
formidable aggregation.
One of the best clashes of the day
was furnished by Dartmouth and

aRomeo and Juliet. "

The sweetest love story ever told is
the subject of the new William Fox
master film production which stars
Theda Bara. Shakespeare's immor-
tai Romeo and Juliet" portrayed
by a cast of we'll known artists, with
setting more sumptuous and mag
nificent than anything yet done in
moving pictures, furnishes Miss Bara
the first opportunity she has had for
portraying a young girl whose heart
overflows with joy and enthusiasm.
In the role of Romeo, Harry Hill
lard is superbly cast. He plays adj
mirably the young lover who cannot
brook separations from his wife, even
in death.
The story of the play tells how
the two lovers are married secretly
because of feud which has long ex-
listed between their families. Just
after the ceremony, Romeo becomes
embroiled in a duel with Tybalt
John Webb Dillion), cousin OF Jul
let, and kills him. The result is that
the bridegroom is banished from We
roma.
Juliet's father tries to force her t.
marry Count Paris (Einar Linden)
and the girl. in desperation, takes 8
heavy sleeping potion, which makes
her parents think her dead. Romeo
also gets tidings of the supposed
death of his wife, and hurries back II

MILITARY BILL is NOW READY

The senate and the house conferees
have agreed on the terms of the army
bill, it will go to the president this
week for his approval If it is not de-
layed in passing. The United States
is to have standing army of 2O6,
900 men, with enough reserve forces
to swell the number to $4,000 strong
to act as a further reserve force.
At no time is the regular army to
fall below 100000. The bill contem-
plates arriving at the full maximum
peace strength within the next five
years.
The bill also provides for the erect
ion of a large nitrate plant not to
cost over $2O,000,000, and gives the
government power to seize all NUM-
lions plants in time of necessity; for
the establishment of military train
ing camps for volunteer citizens
and for a board to recommend meas
ures looking to the organizing and
mobilizing of industries.

MAN ELECTRoCUTED
NEAR HAMMOCK COUNTY
Found at Bottom Of q Pole; Lights
Were Extinguished for few
Moments.

Late Monday night of last week
the body of Thomas Carr, a junk
dealer of Salt Lake, was found at
the foot of a high VOTED pole ten
miles west of Pocatello, by Sheriff
w. w. Cooper and county Attorney
C. D. Smith. At about $3.50 the
lights both in Pocatello and Black
foot were suddenly extinguished, and
after a few moments came on again.
This was probably caused by Carr's
body when it took the current.
No reason has been found for the
mans being up the pole, with line
mans outfit, at that time and place.
His lineman's belt was left hang
ing from the cross arm. Spurs were
strapped to his legs. His body, badly
cooked by the terrible power of the
high tension electricity, was taken to
an undertaking establishment in Po-
catello and communications were sent
to his relatives in Salt Lake City.

TEXAS is FOR WAR

That Texas is all for intervening in
Mexico is fact generally known for
many months past.
At one time a Texan chief execu-
tive asked only for permission to get
in and whip the Mexicans and il the
central government had permitted it
the people of Texas would have been
only too glad to have tackled the job.
They did that once before and they
certainly taught the Mexicans whole
some lesson.
In fact, the Mexicans to this day
have a fear of and respect for the
people of Texas that they do not al
ways manifest regarding other citi-
zens of this country.
OF course, Texas could not be per-
mitted to intervene in Mexico without
the rest of the nation doing that, and
therefore the matter is one for the
consideration Of the central govern
ment.
Whatever may be the ideas had as
to former actions by this nation to-
ward Mexico, what must be thought
of is that the present emergency is
what has to be considered.
And that being the case, to the ma
tional administration will have to be
left the handling of the situation and
its solving.
The Washington government GER
tainly has brought about concrete
understanding with Germany regard
ing very critical point and at this
time the Mexican affair is in the
hands of the national administration.
And If this country takes action
against Mexico, Texas will have am
pie opportunity to do it's part.-Butte
Miner.

IRISH ARE ROUSED AGAINST
THE BRITISH TREATMENT
Big Meeting in New York of Irish AS
Protest Against Execution of is
Agitators by Dublin Court Martial


The summary execution of the
leaders in the recent Irish revolt at
Dublin has caused much strong feel
ing on both sides of the Atlantic
among the Celtic people. In Ireland
those slain will stand as martyrs in
the great cause of liberty and they
will be mourned no less by Irish
Americans whose, sympathies are
with that cause. The middle of last
week big meeting was held at the
Carnegie hall in New York. There
were 5000 inside and thousands un-
able to get into the hall. The as
sembly was addressed by Bourke
Cochran, cambridge Colby, Justice
Edward ]. Gavegan and others,
whose eloquence moved the hearers
to tears and cheers. They passed
resolutions against the present rela-
tons between Great Britain and Ire
land. 1t is thought that Premier AS
quith Is working out some new form
of government for Ireland. The main
trouble with the home rule scheme is
that the Obstetrics are opposed to it
as presented to them, but some COM
promise may be reached with them.

This transport was sufficient as long
as Verdun was held by relatively
small force and was only fraction
of the great front, but would it be
sufficient when the main attack was
directed at this section and the Ger

men on a narrow front! Could
France munition or supply an equal
number of men and sufficient guns to
meet the storm? The Germans be-
lieved not.--F'rom "The Battle for

WHY SELECT VERDUN?

Wyh did the Germans choose YER
dun as their objective? In the minds
of most casual readers Of history and
of war news, Verdun is accepted as
the bulwark of France, the gate to
Paris, and the chief. fortress of that
great barrier which from Luxembourg
to Switzerland defended the eastern
frontier of the Republic. 1t was, all
things considered, the strongest forth
fed place in Europe when the war
came. Why, then, did the Germans
elect to fight here?
The reason is simple. The first
months of the war utterly eliminated
fortresses from the reckoning. The
rapid collapse of Liege, Antwerp,
Maubeuge demonstrated that the fort
had failed to keep pace with the gun.
What was illustrated in the west in
the early days was finally demon
strated in the east last summer, when
the Russian fortresses followed the
path of the Belgian and the French.
Accordingly the French after the
Marine simply abandoned the forts Of
Verdun as defensive positions. They
took the guns out of them; they NOV
ed them to new, concealed positions
and the fort ceased to have real inn
portance. Verdun was only point
in the long trench line running from
the North Sea to Switzerland. The
forts, save that they provided protec-
tion for reserves, lost all value. They
entered into the system of trenches
and Verdun was defended by men
and by guns and by bitches, precisely
like Rheims and Arras.
In the second place, Verdun was
the most difficult place in the French
line to supply either with men or
munitions. Before the war two rail-
road lines Of first Importance met
at Verdun-one a double track line
coming east from Paris in the direc-
ton of Metz. the other coming north
along the Meuse valley from the Pa
ris-Nancy line. When the Germans
took st. Mihiel in September, 1914,
they cut the latter line. In the re-
treat from the Marine the Germans
halted at Varennes and Montfaucon,
and from these towns their heavy
artillery commanded the Paris Yer
dun line by indirect fire and it ceased
to be available.
There was left to the French, then,
only one narrow-gauge line coming
north from Barbecue, a light rail
way, incapable of bearing the heavy
traffic because Of the grades. Practi-
cally, then, Verdun, was isolated, so
far as railroad communication was
concerned, and the army defending
Verdun section was dependent upon
road transport, upon automobile
trucks, or as the French say, camions.

IDAHO GUARD is IN
GOOD CONDITION
Could Start for the Border i'm "A
Hours; Idaho one Of Best Pre-
pared States in Union

During his recent tour of inspec-
ton thru the northern part of the
state Adjutant General Crow declar-
ed that the Idaho nation guard is not
only ready to go to the border, but
anxious for the chance. He said the
officers are in close touch with their
men and know just where to find
them in hurry and that all equip
ments are packed and ready to go.
The following clipping shows the re-
markable efficiency of the organiza-
ton as compared with other states:
The Idaho national guard consists
of IL companies and hospital detach-
ments. In the ranks are 900 healthy,
loyal young men, we'll drilled, skilled
in craftsmanship, capable of taking
care of themselves under all condi-
lions. There are IS officers who have
demonstrated their fitness to COM
mand. The equipment has been close
ly inspected and is in perfect condi-
ton. The heavy tentage is kept in
Boise, where it is available on mo-
ment's notice. Otherwise, each COM
pany has it's own equipment. Every
company has recently passed inspec-
ton and all have been pronounced fit
in every particular.
During the past year TAT guards
men fired the full target course, TAX
ing high rank in craftsmanship.
The war strength ia national
guard regiment is 1886 officers and
men, with medical corps of "a. The
Idaho regiment could be brought
easily up to war strength should the
necessity arise. In the state are many
ex-regular, exvolunteers and ex-
guardsmen who would make splendid
recruits. In Boise, alone, it is esti-
mated that there are about Is form
er cavalrymen, physically fit, whose
services would be available in emer-
gency. OF veterans of the Spanish
American war who would not hesi-
tate if their country callei them
again, there are large number in
Idaho who have shown their MI, 'rary
ability in way that will long be re-
membered.
Ordinarily a state regiment re-
quires about three months prepara-
ton for the field. The Idaho national
guard could, in the opinion of COM
petent judges, be modified in as
many weeks should it's services be
needed in hurry. That is, provid-
ed war strength is not demanded.
The equipment available would pro-
vide for 900 men. Additional equip

WARNING NATIONS PUSH
FIGHT ON ALL SIDES
Vcrdun Struggle Begins the Fourth
Month of Constant Fighting
AUsTRIANs GAIN ON ITALIANS
Force of Russian Cavalry Joins the
British I'm MesOpOtamia

Tho not much news comes from
the northeastern front there Is con-
tinuous activity around Verdun, in
the Tyrol and in Mesopotamia. The
fourth month of the fierce siege Of
Verdun has commenced with unabat-
ed force. The teutons took some po-
sitions from the French this week
and also made a gain against the
English farther north on the same
front. Dead Mans hill and hill No.
304 are the principal keys to the
Verdun fortress and at these two
points the most terrific charges and
counter charges have been steadily
exchan ed for three months. The
loss of the Germans is SO large
it can scarcely be estimated and not
much is said any more about prob
able losses on either side. 1t is be-
lieved that Germany must continue
the assault of Dead Mans hill or give
UP Verdun altogether. In their latest
attack, which was partially success
full, they are said to have used CO.,
900 men and so batteries of heavy
guns of all calibers.
Austrian Troops Take Important

the scene of some very heavy and
bloody fighting and when it passed
over to the Austro-Hungarian army

and eight machine guns, the cause Of
Italy suffered marked relapse.
Much hopelessness is reflected from

Russian Cavalry Appears in
MesOpOtamia
The sudden surprising appearance
of force of Russian horsemen way
down in Mesopotamia where the
British under General Goringe are
holdin~ the south bank of the Tigris
near Sannayyat, still in Turkish
hands, has raised a good deal of
speculation. LondoR is as excited
over this strange event as over the
regrettable fall of -El-Amara. It
is known that the Russians are
threatening Khanikin, hundred
miles north of Bagdad, but how did
Kossack riders ever crossed such
stretch of enemy territory and got on
the south side of the Tigris river,
which the Turks are guarding SO
carefully 1t is thought just possible
the carz's men have succeeded in
cutting the Bagdad railway.
