SUBMARINE NOW
 READY TO DEPART
Huge Underwater Merchantmen Has Been Prepared For Effort to Elude Allied Ships of War. Clearance is Given.

Baltimore, July 26.-The German submarine Deutschland today was cleared by her commander, Captain Paul Koenig, for Bremen or any other port in Germany. Any hour the vessel may start down the Chesapeake Bay prepared to make a dash for the open sea through the Virginia Capes and the guard of allied warships off the allied limit.
 Secrecy surrounds the plans of Cap tain Koenig. After securing clear ance papers he said in reply to ques- tions asked for the benefit of the Maryland Pilots Association that the exact time of departure was indefin- ite. Tonight he had made no arrange .ments for pilot but he can obtain one almost immediately at any time he desires. Agents of the ship an- nounced this afternoon that she was ready for the return voyage to Ger many.
 This information was conveyed to the custom house and the office of the clearance clerk was kept open for Captain Koenig, who arrived with Captain Hinsch of the Neckar. After the usual formalities the commander of the submarine requested that his manifest be withheld from publication for reasonable time.
 Collector of Port Ryan communi- cated with the treasury department and then informed Captain Koenig that his request would be granted Consequently the cargo was described officially as being composed of general merchandise.
 The tug Thomas F. Timmons, which met the Deutschland off the Virginia Capes on her arrival, pulled away from the pier late today and went to a coal pier where she filled her bunk CTS. Directly afterward she returned and few hours later it was appar- lent she was maintaining full head of steam in her boilers.
 All day there was activity around the Deutschland, the engines were tested again and again, and twice the vessel was submerged until her keel rested on the bottom of her slip. These operations seemed very inter- esting to persons aboard British freighters nearby.
 Carl A. Luederits, German consul here, said tonight that the Deutsch- land will not leave for a week. When asked why her departure was further delayed the consul would not vouch- safe further information.

COTTON IS WEAKER
 ON CROP REPORTS
Upward Movement is Checked
 and Close Shows a Little De- cline-COnsider Damage News From Southwest Exaggerated

New York, July 26.-The weekly crop and weather reports was so destitute of sensational fea- lures today that the cotton market not only received a check to its up- ward movement but in the afternoon developed rather pronounced weak ness and closed barely steady, at a net loss of to 9 points. After the opening, which was points lower to l higher, there was a steadier feeling on official predictions for continued showers in the Eastern belt and little prospect for rain in the Southwest, apart from unsettled conditions in eastern Texas and October advanced to 13.23c and December to 13.39c. or to } points higher than last nght. This level was sustained up to mid day, when selling, induced by the weekly report, caused a decline of a dozen points.
 Private messages in the afternoon mentioned rains at a number of points in Texas, there was a good deal of pressure put on the market, both at New Orleans and here, on the belief that if general rain develops in the Southwest now it will go far toward assuring good crop in that section. The disposition to consider damage news from the Southwest exaggerated was more noticeable today than here tofore, especially in the light of the weekly report.
 Liverpool was irregular, closing half point higher to half point lower.
 The cotton market closed barely steady.

STRIkE AT BAUX-
 TIE CONTINUES
Company Advised to Send Some One There Who Will Deal Fair and Impartially - 700 Em- ployes Are Out.

little Rock, July 27.-The strike of 700 employees of the American Bauxite Company at Bauxite, Saline county, continues with less prospect of settlement than ever.
 I C. Clary, commissioner of labor, sent the following telegram to the American Bauxite Go. at Pittsburg:
 Strike at Bauxite, Arkansas, can he settled if you will send someone who can act fair and impartial. The companv has not acted fair with em- ploves nor have they kept faith with me Differences can be settled if the company will concede few things"
 The company replied as follows; "We have every confidence in MT. Gibbons ability to settle the labor difficulties at Bauxite and he has full authority to handle the situation as he thinks best. We have suggested that Mr Gibbons make no further concessions and if he deems it ad- visable that he withdraw concessions recently made"
 Congressman W. s. Goodwin has wired Commissioner Clary that he has suggested Maj R. B. Heating, of McCrory, Ark, who is a member of the committee of conciliation in the U. S. Department of Labor at Wash ington, as an arbitrator, or that he be sent to Arkansas to assist m the in- vestigation of the situation at Baux- ite
 Mr. Clary says that the only thing the men are asking is that they be treated fairly and not discriminated against, and that the company shall agree to receive committee of en- ployes for the adjustment of griev- ances.

EXPERT TO LOOK
 OVER SOUTHERN SITES
Million Dollar Nitrate Plant to
 Be Located in South by the U. $. GOvernment-Dr. C. H.
 BrOugh Receives Information.

Little Rock, July 27.-An expert will be sent to Arkansas to look over prospective sites for the million dol lar nitrate plant to be located in the south by the United States govern ment. This information was conveyed in a letter to Dr. c. H. Brough, Democratic nominee for governor from President Woodrow Wilson and Secretary of War Baker
 Some weeks ago, when it was made known to him that such a plant was to be located in Arkansas, Dr.. Brough had the State Democratic convention adopt resolution urging the erection of the plant in Arkansas. He also wrote personal letters to cabinet off cers concerning Arkansas as the most feasible. and the best location.
 Government experts have already visited sites in Tennessee and Ala bama, where it is possible to generate high water power, and the expert will take a look at the Arkansas points where it is possible to generate much power through a dam across one of the mountain streams.

Good Roads Everywhere"
Trade in Prescott.


 There is a remarkable increase in the amount of non-alcoholic beverages in Little Rock. The old beer depots are being reopened for the storage, sale and handling of near-be pro ducts, which contain no alcohol and can therefore be sold without viola tion of the law. It has been found however, that small quantities of alchol added to the denatured beverage produces the required results. There fore, it is not necessary to ship in such large quantities of alcohol and its stronger compounds that are pro- hibited by law, but just add nip" of the real stuff to the so-called soft drinks that are sold freely at soda fountains and at picnics Near beer saloons-although they will not be called that,-are already appearing for catering exclusively to these who care to torture their stomachs with connections. And so far no law is be- ing violated.

PROPOSAL FOR GERMAN
REPUBLIC AFTER WAR
Seriously Idea is Advanced by Soldiers
of Fatherland

There are hundreds of thousands OF
people who are convinced that the
great war in Europe will be followed
by a revolution in Europe. In some
manner or other existing governments
and existing conditions will be over
turned. 1t is quite certain that Europe
for king and peasant, can never be the
same as before the present gigantic
struggle.
A reader Of The Tribune has sent
US the following clipping which is an
extract from a letter from Lawrence
Godkin to the New York Sun:
For IA German Republic
In the Revue des Deux Mondes Of
June IS, is an article entitled "L'Aveu
Allemand" 1t consists mainly of ex-
tracts from letters found on the dead
and imprisoned Germans killed or cap
tured last winter and this spring. The
extracts are from letters from home
to the Germans soldiers at the front
and from the German soldiers at the
front to their relatives and friends al
home. The extracts indicate that the
German jig is about up. The letters
from home tell of the suffering al
home from lack of food, and the
letters from the front tell of the star
walton and butchery that the German
soldiers are being subjected to.
An extract from one letter dated al
Cassel, Feb. IS, is significant. 1t says
MAY the good God bring it about that
the war shall soon end Otherwise
there will be revolution like that Of
l848."
1t was the revolution of 1848 that
sent to us Carl Schurz and other good
Germans. The honest German people
should now rise against the Kaiser
and his precious son the crown prince
and the various Junkers and Vons and
Trietschkes and other German pro,
fessors who have brought upon hu,

SPLENDID CASH PRIZES WILL
BE OFFERED AT FAIR
County Agent Mccall Has Matter in
Hand and Has Raised Over $1,000

The boys and girls of Idaho will
have an opportunity of winning some
! splendid cash prizes at the Idaho
State Fair, to be held in Caldwell
this fall. County Agent Mccall as
sisted by Miss Z. Fay Fowler, super
intendent of schools, has taken the
matter up with the business men of
Caldwell, Nampa, Parma and Pay
cite and they have responded liber-
ally. Prizes aggregating 100000 will
be offered as rewards for proficiency
in the boys and girls club work OF
the county.
Professor Mccall is well pleased
with the way in which he was received
| by the business men of the county
and he speaks their praise on every
possible occasion. Only two men in
the county have refused to lend their
assistance
Twice Banner County
Canyon county was winner of the
state banner in this line of endeavor
last year as we'll as the year before
That other counties will find it ex-
tremely difficult to wrest first honors
from the Canyon educators and their
loyal supporters this season need
hardly be pointed out. The remark
able array of prizes is expected to in
duce far greater efforts on the part of
the boys and girls of the clubs than
were ever before witnessed in the
county.
Noteworthy among the prizes now
pledged is total of IL purebred pigs
valued at $40 each These will be
offered to the boys in the divisions
of the work they are doing. A. L.
Wilson of Greenleaf has obtained
most of the pigs awarded, in this way
giving valuable assistance to Mr.. Nc
Call and Miss Fowler.
Prizes or Girls
Merchants of the county have pledg-
ed prizes aggregating $3.50, nearly all
of which will go to the girls. Nearly
half of the prizes will be in cash.
Subscription to this fund includes $50
subscribed by the Caldwell CONNER
cial club.
Prize winning displays are to be
shown quite completely at the state
fair in the Caldwell stores, and the
generous exhibit also will be sent to
the Nampa Harvest Festival

ALEXANDER APPOINTEES ARE
KEEN FOR LAW-SOMETIMES
Finds Japs Without Proper Licenses
And Refuse to Right Error
(Nampa Leader-Herald)

(Nampa Leader eralO
f. H. Dewey and party of twelve re-
turned Monday from hunting trip to
the Camas Prairie. They had very
fair shooting getting 40 sage hens in
the two days.
They met with some discomforts as
well as pleasures. All one day it
rained hard, keeping them in camp
in rather cramped quarters.
One of the most unpleasant Incl
dents was the over-officioasness of a
deputy game warden. The party took
along with them a couple of Jap cooks
and thinking the gentlemen from the
Orient might desire to try their luck
hunting and fishing licenses were pro-
cured for them here.
1t appears that there is law which
$500 instead of $1.00 charged citizens
of the state. This apparently was not
known to the local agent for the
state when the licenses were made
out for the Japs. When the deputy
game warden found the citizens IL
censes he announced that he would
have to arrest them. 1t was explained
to him that he could see that an hon
est attempt had been made to comply
with the law and that since an error
had been made, the additional $500
would be paid gladly. He was asked
to get in communication with his CHIEF
in Boise and see if this would be salts
factory.
1t appeared that it would not The
Japs were put under arrest and taken
to Haley and since there had been a
technical violation of the law there was
nothing to do but to plead guilty, and
fines and court costs paid amounted
to $1,000.
Query: Would the Alexander ad-
ministration have been so exacting
had the party happened to be of the
same political faith?
