Feb 21 the Germans have captured
over $4,000 French in the fighting
about Verdun. West of the Meuse
about 25 square kilometers of ground
has been occupied, the Overseas Agency
has announced.
The agency says: German newspa-
pers point out that the French now
say Bethincourt was evacuated in ac-
cordance with plans previously made.
Nevertheless 1t has been ascertained
that an order was issued stating: This
important place must be held In all
circumstances The fact that over
700 unwounded French prisoners were
taken and French losses in killed and
wounded were far greater, Is proof
that the French plan of evacuation
could not be carried out as intended.
According to French reports the new
line runs from the southern corner OF
Avocourt wood along the first slopes
of Hill No. 3o4. thence along tho south
ern bank of Forges brook, passing

REPUBLICANS OF
ADA COUNTY MEET
IN CONVENTION
To Name So Delegates to the
State Convention of Party
to Be Held at Twin
Falls.
Capital News Special service)


Meridian, April 1.-THE Ada county
Republican convention opened here
this afternoon with the selection of S.
L. Hodgin temporary chairman and
H. A Lawson secretary. The conven-
ton got down to business quickly, fol-
lowing short addresses by Chairman
Hodgin. C. F. Koelsch, ]. s. Bogart
and others. The delegates were CIV
en- royal welcome by the Meridian
people, and although the inclement
weather probably had as much to do
as anything else with keeping some of
the delegates from attending there was
a good representation.
The naming Of credential and other
committees was the first thing taken
up after the convention was called to
order by D. A. Dunning, county chair
man. Following their appointment the
convention took a recess to permit the
committees to meet and make their re-
ports. The selection of the 36 dele
gates to the Twin Falls convention had
not been done up to a late hour this af-
ternoon. They will probably be named
by nominating committee and placed
before the convention for approval.
This delegation will be bound under
the unit rule and will be composed of
only such men who can assure the con-
vention they will go to Twin Falls next
week. 1t will be decidedly Borah in
sentiment, the wishes of Idaho's senior
senator being followed out in all par
ticulars.
Considerable enthusiasm was mani
Tested at the convention here this af-
ternoon on the part OF the delegates.
With them the interests of Senator
Borah were paramount. The mention
of his name was the cue for an out
burst of applause.
To Pass Resolutions.
Resolutions will be adopted by the
convention before adjourning which
will praise the work of the Idaho con-
gressional delegation particularly that
of Senator Borah and declare for a
united party at the polls next fall. 1t
is not anticipated there will be any
great conflict over the naming Of the
delegates to the Twin Falls convention
as this county Is entitled to 36 making
1t possible to take care of all those
who can possibly attend.
Owing to the rain making autoing
to Meridian almost impossible many
of the delegates from Boise came over
to Meridian on special cars provided by
the Idaho Traction company.

DEFACTO TROOPS IN

Ell Paso, April 11.-General Gabriel
Gavira, Carranza commander at Juarez
announced last night that the forces of
the defacto government were in posi-
tion to take immediate control of the
Villa situation if the American troops
withdrew.
General Gavira's statement was
made in connection with the announce
ment of Major General Scott, chief of
staff of the American army. that the
purpose of the expeditionary force
would be considered accomplished
when the Villista bands were dispersed
or "as soon as the troops of the defacto
government are able to relieve them of
the work.
I'VE have more men than enough
now, said General Gavira. IF we
were able to overcome Villa when he
had 10000 men, over hundred can
mons, and plenty Of supplies, we ought
to be able to dispose of him now when
his numbers have dwindled down to a
few hundred. But it is a big territory
to operate in and a single man has
more chance to escape and hide than
large force would have. However, on
account of Villas wounded condition
we think he will be taken soon. II
not, it is hardly likely that without
proper surgical care he will survive
for long,

A Monument to the Soldiers.

Submitted by Veteran of the civil
War.l
A monument to the soldiers?
And what will be build II o.,
Can We Guild it of marble, or brass or
bronze,
Out lasting the soldiers love?
Can We glorfy it with legends
AS grand as their path blood writ
From the innormost shrine of this land
of thine
To the outermost verge of it? ~
And the answer came, we would
build it
Out of our hopes made sure
And out of our purest prayers and tears
And out of our faith secure,
We would build it out of the great
white truths
Their deaths hath sanctified
Out of sculptured forms and wi.hcred
arms,
And their faces ere they died.
And what heroic figure can the sculptor
carve in stone
Can the marble breast be made to
bleed.
Or the marble lips to moan?
Can the marble brow be fevered, or the
marble eyes be graved
To look their last as the flag floats
past
On the country they have saved?
And the answer came, the figures
Shall all be fair and brave
And as BETTING, as pure and white
As the stars above their graves
The marble lips, and breast and brow
Whereon the laurel lies,
Shall bequeath as right to guard the
flight
OF. the old flag in the skies"
A monument for the soldiers, built out
Ct the peoples love
And blazOned and decked and pan
oplied
With the hearts we build il Of
And see that We build it stately,
In pillar and niche and gate,
And as high in pose as souls OF those
1t would commemorate.
