French Losses 10000
in Battle of Verdun,
According to Germans

BERLIN, April 1.-THE French
losses in killed and wounded in the
fighting around Verdun, says the Over:
seas News Agency. are computed to
have reached up to the present time
total Of 10000 officers and men, or
about four army corps. The news
agency continues:
According to a correspondent from
the front, the French authorities are
spreading reports regarding heavy Ger
man losses before Verdun. 1t is said
that one battalion of chasseurs lost
1,07S men-that is to say. about its
total number. 1t is also reported that
the 18th Army Corps lost 1900 Off
GERS and men in storming the village
and fortress Of Vaux. This corps never
participated in the fighting for the
village or the fortress of Vaux.
The French calculate that the Ger
man losses at the round figure of 20o,-
900. The German casualties happily
have not been in proportion to the i'm
portance Of the German gains. Be-
sides, among the casualties is a great
percentage of men who were only
slightly wounded.
"As the French are steadily retreat
ing they must, of course, give imagi-
nary figures. The Germans, on the
other hand. have for seven weeks been
burying dead Frenchmen on the bat
tlefield and rescuing French wounded.
80 they are able to compute figures
regarding the French. losses. which are
calculated to- have reached 10000. or
four army corps"

POLICY AS ISSUE
Attorney General Gregory States
Question on Which Political
Campaign Will Be Waged.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE foreign
policy of the United States will be the
real issue of the coming presidential
campaig according to Attorney Cen
eral Thomas w. Gregory, who was the
chief speaker last night at the Jeffer-
son day dinner of the National Demo-
cratic Club.
Some of our enemies" said Mr.. Greg
ory, 'are charging that we are reck-
lessly rushing into war. Others COM
plain because we have not long since
declared war with various nations,
while all. like Diogenes with his Ian
tern. are looking in vain for a leader
who can win.
President the Peoples Guardian.
Between the contending forces of
those who stand for peace at any price
and those who would welcome mill
tarism. If not war, stands the great
guardian of our peoples safety. and the
fact that he is bitterly criticised by
those who harbor each of these ex-
treme views is substantial proof that
his policies are about right.
Il cannot conclude without warning
you of the dangers of the coming con-
test. If you would avoid the man on
of blood. If you abhor cringing inca
pacity begging for peace at the price of
humiliation and national dishonor,
then sound the slogan of Thomas JEFF
ferson and fling your banner of defiance

MEXICAN PAPERS LAUD
ATTITUDE OF CARRANZA

MEXICO CITY, April 14.-Comment
on Gen. Carranzas note requesting the
Washington government to withdraw
the American troops from Mexican
territory was very general in the aft
ernoon newspapers, most of which
caustically criticise what Is character
lied as "the Yankee failure"
The Accion Mundial, daily with So
cialistic tendencies, characterizes the
punitive expedition as a complete ma
terial and moral failure.
1.-The Yankee soldiers says the
newspaper, ARE incapable of resisting
the penalties Of campaign in Mexico.
The hot sands and frequent violent
climatic changes tell the story Of to-
days tiny campaign. The prediction is
everywhere made that the Americans
will not catch villa and the stand Of
the first chief in demanding their re-
tirement is vigorously applauded."

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. April 14.-From

the mountains south of Parral
No report has been received from
Gen. Pershing of the clash at Parral.
Gen. Funston's only information was
that contained in the dispatch from
Consul Letcher at Chihuahua, which
indicated that both the garrison and
the populace had fred on the detach-
ment of American troops when they
entered the town and that the fire had
been returned. 1t was assumed that
Maj. Tompkins was in command of the

detachment Is not equipped with field
wireless and it was believed probable
that he is experiencing difficulty in

SERIOUS FOOD RIOIING
OCCURS IN CHIHUAHUA

Ell PAso. Tex, April 1.-THE news
of the clash at Parral between Ameri-
can soldiers and Mexicans was followed
by reports Of serious rioting at other
points in Chihuahua, but in none of
these other incidents were American
soldiers said to be involved. The riots
were said to be due principally to eco
nomic conditions and not primarily po-
litical. The scarcity of food in the
cities of northern Mexico has been
growing steadily and in many places
the masses of the people are said to be
on the brink of starvation.
The worst rioting was reported far to
the south in Aguascalientes. Food
riots in which big mobs took part and
which have been going on spasmodic-
ally for the last two days were de-
scribed in a message received from a
mining concern with large interests in
Aguascalientes. The message said riot
ing had been carried on extensively.

British Foreign Office
Declares Germans Own
Statement Shows Guilt

LONDON. April 14.-Asked to give an
officiaI view on Germanys note to the
American government concerning the
Sussex. the foreign office made the fol-
lowing statement to the Associated Press,
based on information obtained from ad-
miralty officials:
There is no resemblance between the
arabic case and the Sussex. The Ger
mans are condemned by their own state
ment, which says that a submarine at
tackled a ship at SO pm. the exact
time at which the Sussex was attacked.
The submarine commander also re-
ports that the fore part of the ship was
blown of. No ship but the Sussex has
suffered damage in any way resembling
this. That the sketch of the vessel made
by the commander of the submarine does
not resemble the picture of the Sussex
said to have been taken from an Eng
lish newspaper will hardly cause sur
prise"
Farcical, Papers Say.
The London morning papers which COM
ment on the German note all declare it
...es worth serious discussion. because ut
- obvic,1<y kSz1icaI. especially when it
refers to the SUSSEX
News says: ut is impossible to imagine
that President Wilson's cabinet can re-
gard the note as anything but open and
undisguised defiance, and Washington is
manifestly in no mood to carry further
discussion lowered to these levels"
After recountng the demands made
upon Germany by President Wilson. the
Post says: Every case cited in the Ger
dence. is an infraction of the law laid

not at all likely that hunters will

do everything in their power to
protect them from being killed The
synopsis of the game laws on the
back of the license contains a mis-
take, due, it was explained, to the
fact that proof was not read before
the licenses were printed The lat
ter part of the license indicates that
there is a closed season on swan
when in reality there is an open

Of the federal or state law being SUI
preme in the matter of opening dates
for migratory birds is now before

settlement. Idaho is not the only
state having trouble with the fed
eral law. The states claim their own
laws govern migratory birds. The
federal authorities allege that the
federal laws govern and put aside
the state laws.

THE DUCK SEASON WILL
OPEN SEPTEMBER 1

The state game department will
recognize the first day of September
as the opening date for the shoot
ing of duck, goose, snipe, plover
and swan. This has been authori-
tatiyely announced by the State
game department, says the Capital
News. 1t is in answer to the solu-
ton of the quandary sportsmen find
themselves in with relation to the
conflicting dates of the federal and
state laws as to the opening sea-
son for the above mentioned birds.
The state game department takes the
stand that it is only charged with
the enforcement of the state law;
that the state law sets Sept. 1 as
the opening date and that so far
as the department is concerned that
date will be observed. The federal
act sets Oct. l as the opening date.
There is a proposed amendment to
change the date to Sept. 6. but so
far as the Idaho game department
is informed the latter date is not
in force and effect.
The game department is not
charged with the enforcement of the
federal laws. Its deputies are not
federal deputies. So far as sports
men are concerned they can shoot
birds in the classes named above on
and after Sept. 1, under the state
law. The matter of their possible ar
rest by deputy federal game ward
ems is one entirely in the hands OF
the federal authorities. There were
no arrests last year by federal dep
uties.
In explanation of the ban lifted
on swan, the game department says
the season on swan was closed for
a period of five years. The end of
that period is this year. The season
therefore opened and swan can be
bagged to the extent of one swan
to each hunter. AS swan are not usu-
