GERMANY DEPORT|NG
100000 DELG|ANS
In the United States Lies Sole
Hope Of Amelioratilg
Conditions

London, Nov. 20.-England is today
seeking some means of reprisal against
Germany for enslavement OF Bel
gium' $ men. Not since the execution
Of Miss Edith Cavell has there beer
such a wave Of popular indignation al
that which is sweeping the country over
fresh details Of the Teutonic plan Of
giving employment TO the Belgian civ
il population by dcporting them to Ger
many.
1t is realized that with the United
States rests the only hope of intcrces
sion to prevent clean sweep from tn,
desolated nation of all its manhood
Stories of fathers and sons parted forci
/ bly, from their wives and mothers and
other loved ones by German soldiery
have served TO fan il into fever heat
Three hundred thousand male Bel
gians above the age of II are affected
by the employment orders from Ber
lin. so far at least $4,000 Of these have
been transported from their homes to
Germany, that they may be given EN-
ployment according to the German ex'
PLANTATION The transfers are taking place
at the rate of two thousand day.
Information today received via Ilol'
land asserts pleas avail nothing and
that in several instances, where those
pleas were more than usually forcible
German comanders ruthlessly enforced
their orders and in addition imposed
further tax burdens as an example to
those who opposed the military machine.
The town Of Tournai. it was declared
had been fined two hundred thousand
marks ($50,000) for "arrogancc with
out precedent in thus opposing the
employment orders.
Copies of the notice to Delgians re-
quiring their assembly at certain con
centration points for this wedding out
of able bodied worlSmen have been re-
ceived in Holland.

British Forced Back.

Berlin, via Sayville, l.. l., Nov. 2o.--
Election of British troops from the
western part of the village of Grand
court was announced in today's officiai
statement.
The report declared the British sus-
tanned heavy losses in attacks against
the German line.
"English artillery fire of yesterday
was generally less strong on both SIDES
of the Ancre," the statement said. BE
tween Serre and Beaucourt and against
our positions south of Miramont during
the evening hours attacks were launch
ed. They failed with heavy losses to
the enemy.

Forced to Abandon Monastir
They Are In Danger Of
Being Captured
CONDITION OF ROADS
HEIGHTENS DANGER
Magnificent Fighting Of Serb
ians Wins---No Changes
On SoInIne Front

London, Nov. 20-With rain and sleet
interfering with full resumption of op-
erations along the Somme, it was the
Balkans that furnished most of the bat
tie news today. Additional adviees
served to INCREASE the brilliance of GEN
eral Serrail's French Russian italian
Serbian victory in the taking of Mona
stir. 1t is now doubted here that the
German-Bulgarian forces can make COM
plete escape from the encircling of the
allied thanking movement. Desperate
fighting is proceeding as the allies strive
to close in still further ON tho retreat
ing Teutons. Roads churned into sea
of mud from snow and rain will, il is
believed, make it impossible for the
Teutonic forces to proceed with suf-
ficient haste in their retreat to achieve
a complete withdrawal of forces and
equipment
Moreover, it appears that far from
being content with mere occupation Of
the city, the allied forces are still
thrusting forward in their drive. Prilep,
to which city the enemy is withdraw
ing, is about "a miles to the north. The
way is for the most part across level
ground, with very few natural defensive
features. The allied occupancy OF po-
sitions along the Cerna river bend gives
them fulcrum for their lever TO force
clearance Of the plain. a
Military critics here today agreed
that the capture of Monastir is OF the
greatest of Importance Diplomaticiy
most Of the credit is given to the Ser
bians for the victory. 1t was their
splendid fighting along the Cerna bend
which compelled the enemy to abandon
their southern defenses, enabling ad-
vance due north of the French anu hus-
sian troops. Elected from their own
country year ago by Field Marshal
Won Mackensen's tremendous drive,
forced TO Flee in disorder, the regiments
scattered. their equipment-what little
there was--for the most part abandon
ed, the Serbians have been transformed
in q brief l2 months into formidable
army with new arms and equipment and
the splendid tutorship of French troops
operating with them as brothers in
arms.
1t is expected here that the Monastir
victory will have important effect in
relieving the German pressure against
Rumania--a pressure that has been re-
garded gravely of late. The London
press does not hesitate to cali the situa-
ton of the Rumanians "jrecarious.

Would Do Away With
Electoral College

Portland, I. Or, Nov. 20.-Carrying a
proposed amendment to United States
constitution abolishing the electoral
college, Senator George Chamberlain
of Oregon is en- route to Washington
today. He believes the electoral college
is obsolete and that the president
should be chosen by direct, popular
vote.
In explaining that the electoral col
lege system might frustrate the will
of the majority, Chamberlain pointed
out just before starting cast that in the
present election 5000 votes in Califor-
mia might have swung that state to
Hughes and elected him, whereas viii
son had a popular lead OF 100000 votes
throughout the country.
Chamberlain said his amendment
would be proposed so it could become
effective before the 1920 election.

HocKERsMuTH SERIOUSLY HURT
Thrown From Horse at Cottonwood
Tuesday Morning.

Jesse Hockersmith, the son of Wess
Hockersmith and well known Grange
vile boy, was thrown from a horse
Tuesday morning at Cottonwood when
attempting to round up steer that
had broken away from some cattle
brought in for shipment and received
injuries which will probably prove fatal.
The young man, who is employed in a
local livery barn over in the west side
town, was driving a steer to the stock
yards and rode into a wire which had
been stretched across a street to pre-.
vent the animal from going the wrong
direction. He was thrown violently
from his horse and picked up uncon-
cious. DIR. Orr of Cottonwood and DR.
Stockton of this city relieved the blood
pressure on the brain, which was
brought about by ruptured blood
vessels, yesterday but there is little
hope for his recovery.

THE MAN, THE PLAN, AND THE
BUNCH ARE ACTIVE-MUCH
MONEY USED IN PRIMARIES
AND INDICATION OF MUCH
MORE TO BE SPENT.

Boise, Septmber 1s.-Mention was
made last week of the belief here that it
was D. w. Davis, now the Republican
nominee for governor, that former
Chief Justice Ailshie had in mind when
he published warning during the pri-
mary campaign notifying the republi-
cans of the state that certain corporate
interests were making concerted eff
fort to control legislation in this state
through the nomination of governor
that would be satisfactory to such cor
porate interests and to the nomination
of such candidates for the legislature as
would be willing to enact into law such
measures as those corporate interests
might demand.
Connection With Electric Interests.
This belief has been strengthened
through information that has now be-
come available showing the close con
nection that Mr.. Davis has had with
the great electric interests which now
control all the hydro electric power
plants in southern Idaho. One of the
chief properties purchased by this
hydro-electric combine was that of the
American Falls plant owned by Sena
tor James Ell. Brady. It was well known
that Senator Brady was paid almost 9
fabulous sum for this plant but thai
payment was not made in cash but IL

Ten cars or close to 2s00 head of

a Denver buyer Tuesday from which he
received sum in the neighborhood of
$4,000 The lambs were an exception

The shipment was loaded out early
Tuesday morning and started on its
way to Denver, Colorado.
Mr. Hall several years ago went out
of the cattle business and into sheep
and while there were those who pre-
dicted he was making a mistake but
subsequent events have proven other
wise for no man in Idaho county in the
stock business has accumulated more foi
his efforts during the past several years
than has Mr.. Hall. He has invariably
received the best price for his wool and
mutton and got in the business at 8

HOTEL AND Store
At GOLDEN
BURNED
PROPERTY OF A. s. JOHNSON
COMPLETE LOSS WITH MOTH
ING MUCH SAVED.
STARTED $50 A. N. TUESDAY
Phone Installed Tuesday Morning and
Used to Order Supplies-About 5000
Worth of Goods Was Saved.

Word was received in Grangeyille
about 1890 a. m. Tuesday from Golden
that the hotel and store of A. 8. John
son burned early that morning about
$3.50. A phone was installed as soon as
possible and Mr.. johnson phoned to
Mr.. Frank McGrane for supplies to be
sent in at once, all the supplies in the
store being destroyed. Not only John
son but many others in the district will
be effected as they are dependent uTon
johnson to supply them from his store
or to have the matter shipped in by par
eel post from Newsome and this Is car
ried in by Andy who is also postmaster.
A message received by w. L. Camp
bell from John Mickie, manager at the
Wonder mine, about noon Tuesday, gave
the information that the fire started
in the room of the cook, young CHINA
man, candle evidently having been
left burning and later causing the con-
flagration. After those who were sleep.
ing in the building had been awakened
an effort was made to get some stuff
out of the store and about two or three
hundred dollars worth on goods were
saved, but there was only about five
minutes in which to work.
| Mr.. johnson had contract to board
men of the Wonder Mining Company
which company was about to start Its
new mill but the fire has required that
work be stopped until arrangements car
be made to house and feed the men
The crew at the mine were put to WORK
for Mr.. johnson getting in logs to re
build as soon as possible, and it IL
hoped within a short time that new
building will be completed to be used a.
a store, postoffice and hotel. The
/ foundation of new addition hat
been laid recently and the work had no
progressed far. No insurance was car
ried on the building or on the stock o.
goods in the store and the loss sustain
ed will fall heavy.

Evidence THAT CERTAIN CORPORATE
INTERESTS ARE SEEKING CONTROL

bonds of the company which made the
purchase and which has likewise pur-
chased similar plants and combined
out southern Idaho and northern Utah
d. w. Davis, the American Falls bank
er, now the republican nominee for
governor, was made one of the three
trustees of all of the Brady properties
some two or three years ago when Sena-
tor Brady turned over all of his inter
ests in this state to the management of
trustees. Not only was Mr.. Davis one
of these trustees but it is well known
that he was the active one and the
most confidential adviser of Senator
Brady in all of his business affairs in
connection with this trusteeship.
1t is believed that Mr.. Davis is still
one of the trustees of the Brady pro-
perties, and thus he becomes connected
not only through the Brady influence
but through his actual contact with the
Brady properties with the electric COM
bine in this section of the state.
1t has also been known here that moi
only was Mr.. Davis the beneficiary OF
the great political machine built by
Senator Brady throughout the state and
that he likewise received the active sup
port in his candidacy for the nomination
of the officers and employees of the
Electric Corporation now owning the
Brady plant at American Falls through
the issuance of bonds to Senator Brady
to cover the payment involved IN tn.
purchase of the properties.
