OLD TIMERS
FROM IDAHO
FORMER GOVERNOR JAS. II. HAW-
LEY AND JUDGE SWEET IN O.
WASHINGTON
Latter For Many Years Resident OF
MOscOw-Now Resides in San
Juan, Porto Rico

WASHINGTON, April S.-(Special)
1t is seldom that two old timers
who were prominent in Idaho terri
torial days meet in Washington. Such
an event has occurred here in the
presence in the city during the last
ten days of Idaho's grand old man, y
former Governor James H. Hawley,
and Judge Willis Sweet, who during
territorial days was United States at
torney and associated justice of the
supreme court of Idaho, and served
three terms in congress Immediately
following the admission of the state.
Governor Hawley has been appear
ing before the committee of congress
in support of the enactment of legisla-
ton introduced by Congressman Addi-
son T. Smith, providing for the CO.
operation by the federal government
with the states in the formation of If
rigation districts, and the bill provid-
ing for the exchange of school lands
in forest reserves for other lands in
solid block Judge Sweet, who went
to Porto Rico twelve years ago, un-
der an appointment of President
Roosevelt as attorney general, and
who since his retirement from office
has been practicing law at San Juan,
has been here for some time repre-
senting the republican party of Porto
Rico before the committee on insular
affairs in behalf of legislation provid-
ing for citizenship in Porto Rico.
Probably no two men played more
important part in the transition OF
he territory of Idaho into statehood |
)r were more active in securing the |
enactment of beneficial laws in con-
lection with the launching of the new
state, and it is interesting to hear them
'elate many important incidents con-
Idaho's early history and
prominent men.
Judge Sweet remarked that there

LATIN PROGRAM
PLEASED MANY
Splendid Entertainment Given at the
High School Auditorium Last Night
Before Large Audience

A Latin entertainment was present
ed last evening at the high school aud
itorium by the students of the hig1
school Latin classes under the direc
tion of Miss Yates The numbers were
rendered partly in Latin but English
was sprinkled in so plentifully thai
even those who had left Caesar an(
Cicero far in the past could appreciate
every situation.
The selections were almost entirely
| based upon the work of the classes, sc
that there was happy combination OF
Latin study and histrionic training
Each number was received with hear
! ty applause, which proved that Latin
is not yet SO dead that it can not arouse
| a lively interest
Among the most pleasing numbers
was A SchOol-Boy's Dream by Robert
Leitch and Carl Kullberg. 1t was
learned from Caesars ghost that his
interest in his own commentaries is
otlll dCIlNS. MlluIeu w ID W Gil III dllOlu-
er dream learned that there are Latin
sermons in stones and books in run
ming brooks" Marion Byrns's recita-
ton, though extremely fshy, demon
strated that a little learning is not al
ways a dangerous thing because even
a few pages Of a Latin grammar may
serve to help one out of most trying
situation.
In a Latin school was found the
rather unique situation in which Cae-
sar participated in geography recita-
ton which was based upon his own
commentaries on the Gallo war. Here
also was held an oratorical contest in
which the proverbial crown of laurels
played a prominent part. Mother Goose
was rendered in Latin in very spirit
ed fashion by the ''pueri."
The most impressive part of the pro
gram was drill by the Vestal Virgins.
The audience felt something of the
solemnity Of the ancient religious rites
in the beautiful and stately presenta-
tion in pantomime of the Vestal serv-
ice and the character of the Muses.
Much was added to the effectiveness OF
the drill by the artistic costumes of the
Virgins, and their graceful movements
with their censers, to the accompani
ment of soft and sympathetic music
Familiar songs were sung in Latir
during the course of the evening end
ing with America" version Of which
had been written for the occasion by
Miss Smith
The proceeds will be used in the higff

By the United Press Associations
LONDON, April S.-The Germans
lave thrown their forces across Forg-
es brook in an effort to squeeze the
French from Bethincourt Shells are
falling on both sides of the salient
preliminary to another attempt
against the village. The defense of
e French forces, which had held the
und for a fortnight under the most
nendous difficulties, excited the ad.
fIffation of all England. Almost sur
rounded and suffering from the fire of
scores of guns, the French maintain
ed their trenches, losing only 300
yards They repeatedly repulsed the
heavy frontal attacks. A strong Teu
ton thrust just east of Haucourt was
completely defeated after a close
struggle
Germans Made Gains
Paris admitted today that the Ger
mans had gained near Haucourt last
night Berlin claimed the capture of
a mile of trenches south of Haucourt
and had taken 700 prisoners. Counter
attacks failed The French again
gained through mine operations in
the Argonne region and captured a
huge crater after desperate battle.

WASHINGTON, April 8.-Official
Washington anxiously awaited the ar

garding the recent submarine attacks
of vessels carrying Americans 1t is
believed that the answer will decide
whether relations with Germany will
be broken. No hint of the contents
of the document has been given.
Some Ready to Sever Relations
1t was learned today that some OF
the presidents advisors advised that
there should be no waiting on prom
ises and assurances from Germany,
asserting that the Teutons are con-
tinuing their activities contrary to
earlier assurances and they believed
America should promptly sever rela-
tiens. Others thought Germany should
be given time to prove whether she is
sincere in her recent disavowals.
No Quibbling Wanted
Should Foreign Minister Won Jagow
reply in a bubble to dodge the is
sue or attempt to force Americas
hand, officials think it is probable that
the president will not hesitate longer
in executing his threatened course.
