Germans Have Re-Estab- lished Themselves in Cor beaux Wood at Price of Heavy Casualties
FORMAL DENIAL OF
 GERMAN CLAIM TO
 CAPTURE OF VAUX
Germans Reported to Have Suffered Severely in the Stripa Region on the Eastern Front

London, March 10.-Throwing large masses of infantry against the French in the corbeaux wood, to the northwest of Verdun, the Germans after several attacks, in which they are declared by Paris to have suffered large casualties have retaken part of the wood from which the French had previously ejected them
 The entire region about verdun con- tinues the scene of intense operations. West of Douaumont and the sector em- bracing the village of vaux have been points against which the Germans have launched vicious infantry attacks, but broke down under the heavy fire of the French, according to Paris.
 Berlin, however, counters this asser- ton by announcing the taking of a ridge west of Douaumont by the Germans and says also that the Germans have suc- ceeded in pushing forward their line through the wooded sector southeast of
 
 east of Fort vaux
 The statement is made in the German official communication chat the Germans have succeeded in gaining firm foot ing in Fort Vaux. Paris had previously categorically denied that the Germans had captured either the fort or the vil- 1age of Vaux.
 ARTILLERY IS ACTIVE
 East and southeast of verdun over front of about seven and half miles the Germans have been directing a heavy bombardment on the towns of Fix, Mou- lainville, villers-Sous-B -Bonchamp and Bonzee, with the French guns answer- ing them energetically
 In the Artois region the French have occupied the crater of mine exploded by the Germans and in Lorraine have damaged with their gunfire German or

sure peace dlOlS tHe DOIOcI. Officers of the general staff began at once the preparation of instructions for General Funston in accordance with this announcement. Their purport was not revealed Earlier in the day Gen eral Funston had suggested that the plans for troop movements across the border be kept secret. He desired to add the element of surprise to his weapons for averaging the murder of Americans at Columbus. General Funston also urged that cavalry be sent to replace the mounted force he might withdraw from border patrol duty to form the expeditionary col umn or columns. Steps to comply with this request were taken at the war department.
 WORK ON DETAILS
 Whatever additional troops may be needed will be ordered promptly to the border. officials of the department and Secretary Baker himself worked far into the night on details of possible troop movements, supplies and the like.
 The secretary's call at the bite House followed a busy day at the war depart ment. The machinery of the general staff was set in motion immediately after President Wilson's decision to hunt down the raiders was. announced at the close of the cabinet meeting.
 The war plans committee assembled and went over the situation. Little detailed information as to the immediate situa- tion on the Mexican side of the border is available here. Such matters are under the jurisdiction of General Funston, who has his own intelligence officers. The committee quickly reached the conclusion, 1t is understood, that Funston must be left unhampered to work out the prob lem of pursuing the bandit with what ever force he thinks necessary. and at the same time to secure American bor- der towns and ranches against repetitions Of the Columbus raid

THE BUpoET SYSTEM
IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS.


The budget system of financing state,
county and city governments is an
important and certain reform that will
be universal in the near future. Con
stitutiOnal provisions have been sub
mitted 10 the people in some of the
more progressive states, and they are
enthusiastically supported by the most
prominent fnanciers and the intelli-
gent voters.
The budget system provides for "A
commission, with the governor OF the
state at the head thereof, TO prepare
complete estimate of expenditure
and revenue for two years TO be sub
mltted TO the legislature. In the es-
Inmates the governor shall include all
the legal obligations of the state gov
eminent, such AZ bonded indebted
ness, interest and sinking funds and
power TO revise or abridge them as be-
ing fxed Obligations. The governor,
however, should be empowered to re-
wise the estimates presented by heads
of departments and state-aid institu-
tons. The legislature should not be
permitted TO increase the estimates
for these purposes which the COVER
nor Is required 10 prepare and pre-
sent TO the Legislature at the begin
ming OF the sessions. The law-mak-
ing branch OF the government should
not be allowed to increase the esu-
mates OF the governor without pro
viding n special tax levy to meet such
increase. The Legislature should have
power TO reduce any Item OF the gov
eTnOrs estimate except those provid.
ing for the protection OF the credit
Of the state.
This reform should be initiated In
Idaho while Governor Alexander Is in
office. Our governor Ii eminently
qualified to formulate and enforce the
provisions OF a competent budget sys.
tenn. Governor Alexander Is a inan
cier of great ability. This reform In
public affairs should be launched un
der the present administration. The
application OF the budget system to
state finances at this time will be u
lasting monument of fame for Cover
nor Alexander and his democratic as
sistants.
This radical reform will require q
constitutional amendment. II win re
Quire more than two years to put into
effect. The working out OF the sys
tenn will educate the voters OF u non
partisan support of the system and 4
strong support OF the party which
gives them the great reform OF the
management OF the business of the
commonwealth by business men.
