International News Service:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. - The
United States will insist that the en-
tente allies agree to disarm their
merchant vessels or they will be
denied clearance from American
ports. This is the attitude that the
state department has decided TO
take despite the unofficial announce
ment from London and Paris that
the British and French govern
ments intend standing on the here
tofore accepted rule that merchant
vessels have the right to carry guns
for defense.
As soon as the official text OF this
decision is received by Sec'y of
State Lansing he will renew the
original proposition. He will also
make it plain that the entire ques-
ton of compelling submarines to
observe the requirements of stop
page and search Of merchant vessels
before sinking them hinges on the
point Of whether the entente gov
ernments have directed merchant
vessels to carry guns 10 resist at
tacks by submarines.
Sec'y Lansing will not decide how
the second note on the subject will
be framed until he has received Of
fetal refusals to his original in
formal suggestion that the entente
allies agree 10 disarm their mer-
chantmen. 1t was made very plain
at the state department today.
however, that the Lusitania nego-
tiatiOns will have no part in the
exchanges on this subject The
Lusitania is a separate matter and

formed through their embassies

WASHINGTON. Jan. 81. - Six
vessels of the coast guard and naval
service are combing the waters Of
the Atlantic from the Virginia capes
south to a point beyond Charleston,
s. c., for the submarine K-5, miss
ing more than "a hours. The sub
marine is commanded by Lieut.. r.
c. Brady and carries a junior lieu
tenant and a crew of Is men. Ac-
cording to navy department officials
she is one of the best submarines in
the service and has a perfect record.
The ks became detached from
the parent ship. Tallahassee. while
proceeding south from the Brook
lyn navy yard to the Florida drill
grounds some time after 1 o'clock
Sunday morning. Since that time
no word of her whereabouts has
been received and officials, while in
sisting that she was probably
simply lost in the fog" were admit
tedly very anxious today.
Sent i'm Search.
BY orders of Secy of the Navy
Daniels, the coast guard cutters
Yamacraw and Seminole. the light
house tender Mangrove, the subma-
rine tender Panther and two de-
strOyers have been sent out by Com
mandant b. G. Bryant from Charles
ton TO search for the missing vessel.
Submarines of the ks type, while
equipped with wireless, can COM
municate only with a radius Of 90
miles. and if the ks lost her way in
the fog she might easily have gone
that far beyond the wireless limit OF
the searching squadron. q.
In addition to Lieut. Brady there
are on board the missing submarine
Junior Grade Lieut.. Hugh G. Frazer
and her regular crew, all highly
trained men who have been serving
in her for several months She is
153 feet long and is using the old
style naval batteries for propulsion.
Was Built i'm 1913.
The vessel was built in 1913 by
the Electric Boat Co at their yards
at quincy, Mass, and was commits
stoned on Aug. %, 1914. Last
summer she made a trip from New
York to Pensacola and return under
her own power.
The last word received from the
Ks was l o'clock Sunday morning
when she reported TO the ITALIA
hassee. At that time she was 40
miles northeast of Charleston.

He was one Of the first denizens Of

WHERE THERE ARE
NO UNEMPLOYED

There arc no legitimately unemployed
men in this bailiwick. Every able bodied
man who wishes work can readily find
it. If man is idle here, it is his own
fault He wishes to be so and hides
himself from the employer.
Why, the street work alone is occupy
ing the working hours of all the willing
workers to be found. The Eccles hotel
has a small army at work preparing
the basement excavation for the super
structure. And Tuesday morning a score
of nea,- in one body, left this city for
the hay fields on a big ranch near
Challis.
The myriad fields of this valley call
for men in ever increasing numbers.
The problem here is not to find work
for the unemployed but to find the un-
employed to do the work.
That is why Blackfoot is becoming
known as a center of industrial activ-
ity, and one reason for the great influx
of new people that has come this year.
