of icy rivulets of mud bogs with rain
and snow falling continually. De-
spite the storm the Sammies are she'll

infantry is standing knee deep in al
most freezing water. The American
morale is excellent Like the Cana
dians, the officers have difficulty oin
preventing the men from charging up
on the enemy without orders. All the
Sammies are anxious to fight. An
lieutenant of the signal
corps working in a communicating
trench was slightly wounded. This is
the first American hit in action.

GREATEST GR|D|RON
BATTLE OF THE YEAR
IDAHO MEETS HER OLD TIME
RIVAL ON HER HOME GROUNDS
ON SATURDAY

Undismayed by the queer pranks of
an unkind fate that gave Oregon a
14-to-0 victory at Eugene, Coach w
c. Bleamaster and his university grid
lists yesterday afternoon began what
is expected to be an intensive though
brief training siege by way of prepar-
alton for Saturdays annual w. s. c.
Idaho classic.
The varsity's achievement in making
twice the yardage rolled up by Bez-
decks eleven and the fact that the
game is to be. played on the local
campus have been made the bases for
confidently expressed hopes that Ida
no has chance for victory.
Several Idaho graduates interested
in the situation have posted that the
worm of the varsity's vicious gridiron
luck is due to materially alter it's
course and point to the famous 5-to-4
game played in 1907 as one instance of
a remarkable reversal of form through
which Pullman's championship aspira-
tions were shattered.
Coach Bleamaster announced last
night that there will be NO indulgence
in scrimmaging for the balance Of the
week. Inordinately late classes will
keep the freshmen away from the field
until Thursday and the squad of reg
ulars is too small to permit of parti-
ton into two full teams
Graduate Manager "Hec" Edmund
son has made arrangements to send
his freshman eleven against the speedy
Lewiston high school team by way of
providing curtain raiser for the prin-
cipaI event of the afternoon.
The crowd is expected to be one of
the largest in the history of the ira
ditional contests between the two in
stitutions.

President Jackson was authorized to
appoint committees to make provision
for freshman athletic insignia, to COM
plete a collection of the Idaho songs
and to select an official name for the
varsity field. The announcement was
made that the traditional bonfire will

tional billions that may be necessary

This was the statement, made to-
ward the close of United States SEN
ator William E.. Borah's address at
the special university assembly held
this morning, which perhaps elected
more enthusiastic and prolonged ap-
plause than any of his previous utter
ances.
One Great Fact
The senator began his talk with a
brief Introductory paragraph anent
the university but he plunged at once
into the war topic with which he dealt,
speaking of the conflict as the fact
which directly controls and circum-
scribed all other facts in our indiv-
idual and national life
He insisted that America does not
realize all the grim significance of the
war, saying that disrobe ourselves of
tAC luCd IHdt luO Wdl 10 d Gul OPCoh
conflict because "our institutions, our
security has been challenged. Our CIV
ilization has been put to the test"
Truth Crusher to Earth
He expressed the hope that all the
remedial effects upon the European
situation longed for by entente states
men may be realized, particularly
stressing the fact that "the spirit of
will assert itself though
crushed through the centuries"
''The Poles" he said, ARE as distinct
a people in national spirit as they
we're at the hour of their dismember
nent. The liberty loving Pole has, too,
been the haunting curse of despotism
ever since that time"
Fight For Principle
The senator agreed with the convic- |
ion expressed by President Wilson
hat we are not at war with the Ger
nan people, saying that we are strug-
cling with an armed principle rather
han with people.

with tomorrOw's sun that the German
people had established a republican,
responsible form government, in my
judgment, the president would start
negotiations for peace before tomor-
rows sun had set," was one of his
statements made in this regard.
Be Slow to Judge
He decried the tendency to impute
disloyalty to any citizen simply be-
cause of the accident of birth or par
entage, saying that the criterion should
be one of words and deeds.

He stated his belief that the Amer.
lean soldiers on the western front will
be inspired with a love of freedom
that the discipline driven hordes Of
Germany must lack and that they will
+be successful for that reason.
What Can We Do At HOme2
Answering his own rhetorical ques-
ton, What can we do at homer" the
senator stated that the duties of those
who do not fight are quite as essential
although of far less import from the
standpoint of sacrifice, as those of the
men who are bearing arms.
He said that Italy's evident break
down was due to the lack of those
very things which it became incumb-
ent upon the American people to fur

direction of food conservation.
Praise for Red Cross
He unstintedly praised the Red Cross
and the Y. NJ c. A. for the work
they are doing and passed on to his
vigorous handling of the questions of
war finance. He said that he had been
for statements made in that
regard but went on to draw a per-
feet analogy between the ethics of the
placing of the financial burden and
the selective service law which has
distributed the fighting burden.
His peroration depicted the scene,
sure to be enacted when the armies of
democracy return.

closing statement, unless we con-
serve our food supplies, unless we con-
ribute to war funds, unless we lend

reception at the Chamber of Commerce
where an unusual number of business
men had assembled to meet him, and
at the conclusion of the luncheon he
was accorded a fine informal recep-
tion. He was gracefully introduced to
the assembly by President {. j. Hugo
and plunged directly into a discus
sion of some of the pressing problems
before the nation.
In opening Senator Borah praised
the commercial bodies of the country
for the initiative and the patriotic de-
votion they are displaying in meeting
the great crisis. He holds that through
just such voluntary organizations the
American people will ultimately win
the war.
Look Bad Abroad
Senator Borah said that the nation
is just now confronted with a most
oSllOuS olludtloh. l1C lOuNilCu upOh
Russia and Italy as proof of the state
ment that the war is to be long and
desperate. He referred to the possi-
bility of an industrial, economic and
political upheaval in Germany which
might bring the conflict to a sudden
close.
Great Need of Money
The senator said another Liberty
Loan would be floated in three or four
be before the next congress. Here,
he said, the business men could rend-
er great service by helping to solve
the financial problem. They should
be heard, he insisted, to say how the
tax burden should be distributed. He
said he would be glad to hear from
any who had ideas on this point.
"The obligation of American citizen
ship is greater today" Senator Borah
said impressively; than it has ever
,een before in the history of the re-
public"
He followed this by saying that the
of today would respond with
IS much honor as their fathers and
orefathers did in other great crises.
An American War
Senator Borah said this was no
1nger a European war-it is an Am
rican war 1t will be fought accord
lg to American principles and Amer
IAN standards-"And we will win,'
e said with great emphasis, dec
lration that was loudly cheered.
In closing Senator Borah said La j,
III county should not be cast down :
ecause it did not reach its goal in the ).
liberty Loan drive. He called atten
on to the fact that Moscow is but :,
mile and a half from the Washing
N line and that for this reason the
lotment on the basis of bank re-
,urces was not fair.

upright and honorable citizen,
respected by a large number of
friends and neighbors who deeply
regret his death, which was sudden
and shock to all.
Besides the immediate family he
leaves one sister, Mrs. Julia West
