BOB FRAZER, OF POLI'S,
DELIGHTED TO BE HERE
New Member of Stock Company
Makes Debut Tomorrow.

Robert w. Frazer, of the Poll Players,
beginning tomorrow night will play the
leading role in 1.-THE House of Glass"
the management Of Polls Theater an
nounces.
During the ten. years that Bob Frazer
has ''trod the boards" he has had the
benefit of a wealth of experience under
such men as Henry Savage. David
Belasco and Charles Frohman.
Bob Frazer makes a strong appeal to
the interviewer. He has personal mag
netism to a rare degree. His handclasp
and his directness OF speech suggests
that he gives his undivided attention to
whatever he may have in hand. He
strikes one as the epitome Of virility.
Modesty is one Of his strange char
acteristics as was indicated by the
difficulty with which he was persuaded
to talk about himself and lthe big things
he has done on the stage. He seemed
more anxious to tell what a good mother
he has and to describe the virtues of his
father, than to speak OF himself.
1T was ten years ago that decided
that medicine was not my bent" he
said. 81 had taken q deep interest In
theatricals at college and decided to make
the stage my life work.
II have always led a very busy life,"
he continued. That is essential for men
Of my profession, particularly when en-
gagged in stock work, OF which am very
fond. / endeavor at all times to express
to live-the part that assume and that
will be my plan and purpose In the Poll
Players. I am more than delighted to
come here"

ert Frazer to make a real hit in Wash

creditable. The Canadians are fully en-
titled to the great praise they are receiv-
Ing. They have always struck me as the
type Of men who make the best soldiers.
zone true prophecy foretold the disas-
trous sequel of the slim German tactics
of evacuating the front trenches when
the bombardment started and returning
when it slowed down in time to meet the
hostile attack. We suffered in the past
from these tactics. Our men reached the
first trenches, then our advance was held
up by shrapnel and machine-gun fire,
particularly by the latter. the machine
gunners having emerged from their bur
rows.
Now as illustrated in the battle Of Ar
ras, our men give the enemy no chance
of doing this. When the enemy infantry
men leave their trenches today our SOL
diers give them another dose of artillery,
and repeat it at intervals, until they get
sick of leaving the dugouts. Then at the
proper time for the advance the barrage
keeps them indoors, as it were.
Brains Win.
Nearly three years study and science
and training went to the taking of Vimy
Ridge. 1t was not so much an heroic
feat IN the Homeric sense as a triumph
of organization. British brains pitted
themselves against German brains and
won.
THAT we had in our favor the neces-
sary superiority Of guns and men will be
readily admitted. Nevertheless, I can
recollect no feat in the war comparable
to the rapid capture OF a stronghold
which the Germans have never neglected
to protect with their utmost strength,
realizing that it formed an ideal pivot
position. 1t was worth sacrificing three
divisions to either hold or to seize, and !
very much doubt whether the actual cost
of taking the ridge works out at more
than a small percentage of this total.
'"The accounts that have reached me
go far to confirm the impression left by
the Somme fighting that the Hun no
longer fights with the old dash and spirit
He is all right when he Is winning. but
when he is losing-getting back a little
of what we had to put up with for eigh-
teen months-he is a poor specimen Of
humanity. But we must not forget that
the effect Of a heavy bombardment is
largely to stupefy the garrisoning troops
Undoubtedly Hindenburg hoped to de-
range our spring offensive by withdrawal
from the Somme. I will yield ground
rather than men, he argued. SO he fled,
but we caught him up quicker than he
had bargained for, and are smashing at
him before his next offensive system is
and simultaneously weakening
him on the hinges OF his retreat
We must not expect too sweeping re-
suits to begin with; yet the gains up to
date are much more than we could have
Our faith in Sir Douglas
Haig and his splendid army should as
time goes on be more and more splen-
didly vindicated. On the other hand, de-
feat will hamper H'7denburgs future
strategy; It will entail its being governed
by dynastic rather than by purely mill
tary considerations"

To Respect Rights of Foreigners.

The Department of State on Febru-
airy issued the following statement:
at having been reported to him that
there is anxiety in some quarters on
the part of persons residing in this
country who are the subjects of for
eign states lest their bank deposits
or other property should be seized in
the event of war between the United
States and a foreign nation, the pres
ident authorizes the statement that
all such fears are entirely unfounded.
The government of the United States
will in no circumstances take advan-
tage of state of war to take pos
session of property in which interna-
tional understandings and the recog-
nized law of the land give it no just
claim or title. 1t will scrupulously
respect all private rights alike of its
own citizens and of the subjects of
foreign states"

DIED

This entire community was shocked
yesterday by the sudden death of Mrs
Ferdinand Blaser. Up to Tuesday
her condition was as usual. She was
taken sick that day and taken to the
Hewittson hospital for an operation
for strangulated hernia. The shock
was too severe and she succumbed at
1:30 Wednesday morning. Mrs. Blaser
was a native of Holland and was born
in 1871. On April 26, 1898, she was
married to Mr.. Blaser in Chicago
There they lived II years, moving to
Emmett six years ago. Six children
were born to them, five of whom, two
girls and three boys surviving. She
was member of the Hyde Park Pres
byterian church of Chicago. She was
a typical "hausfrau", kind, charitable,
generous. Her home was her castle,
and her husband and children were
her loving subjects. Her death is
severe blow to the husband and child
rem left behind. The funeral was
1eld from the Presbyterian church
his afternoon, the services being con-
lucted by Rev. Stuart Mex Hunter,
md burial was in the Emmett ceme-
cry.

Ready for Business.

C. f. B. Roberts, vice president OF
the Federal Farm Loan bank of Spo-
kane, was present at meeting of the
Emmett National Farm Loan Associa-
ton, and gave in detail the plans of
the Spokane institution. He stated
that the bank is now ready to receive
applications for loans, and E. w.
Brown, secretary of the local associa
ton, requests that those desiring
loans should be present next Saturday
with their applications. The plan,
which The Index has previously given
in detail, provides, in brief, for loans
at per cent, running from 5 to 40
years, with the amortization plan of
payments.

Sound Advice.

Elihu Root, addressing the New
York Republican club Monday night,
called upon all Republicans to support
President Wilson and to "submerge all
partisan feeling, forget they are Re-
publicans, until the war is over and to
be Americans only" The club passed
resolutions declaring it to be the duty
of all Americans to abjure partisan
ship, sectionalism, personal advan-
tages and all pettey jealousies and
dissensions and to unite in common
loyalty and devotion to the support
of the government of the United
States in the most vigorous and eff
fective prosecution of the war.

Came Close.

Many of The Index's good friends
have been poking fun at it because of
the wonderful arithmetic displayed in
the "lamb item" last week. Some of
them have even accused Old Bill Mis-
givens of writing it, but Old Bill says
he can do better. Aside from there
being only 710 lambs, that they were
yearlings and belonged to C. j. Bull
lard and j. M. Johnson instead of the
Billiard & Juhnson Sheep Company,
and a few other minor details, the
item was pretty close and might have
been worse.

= The English blockade has been car
ried out without the loss of an Amer
t lean life. The German has resulted
J in the death of men, women and chill
dren who were travelling where they
, had perfect right to travel under
international law as everywhere ac-
cepted before the war.
This is the legal aspect of the case.
But the Star would lack frankness if
it did not express it's belief that the
legal aspect is really subordinate.
There is moral aspect that has made
its appeal to the vast majority Of
Americans.
The United States has declared
war not merely because of the
killing of American citizens in
an illegal blockade, but because
Germany's ruthless submarine
warfare has brought home to this
country the existence of a pow
erful state temporarily dominat-
ed by ideals that menace essential
things that America holds dear.
In the last two years and a half
Americans have become convinced
that the men in charge of German
affairs believe that any course that
will advance the interest of the Ger
man state is justified.
If war will advance the German in
terest, then war is justified. The at
tack on Serbia was the beginning of
this conviction. It's latest confirma-
ton has been the Zimmerman note |
proposing to Mexico and Japan an
alliance for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
United States.
In the conduct of the war for the
benefit of Germany any course is JUS
titled, no matter it violates the pledg-
es of the German nation, the agreed
of The Hague conventions
or the dictates of humanity. The vio-
lation of Belgium's neutrality, of
which Prussia had been guarantor,
was the first incident that illustrated
this principle. The shooting of host
ages and the other atrocities that ac-
the invasion of Belgium
and France confirmed the belief. At
The outset the accounts of these atroc-
ties were regarded with incredulity
by most Americans. This incredulity
was swept away by the report of the
Bryce commission and the presenta-
ton by the French government of the
evidence in thousands of letters taken
from German prisoners and from the
bodies of the dead.
Then came the deportations from
Belgium and Northern France. Con-
.rary to international agreements and
% all humane principles, not only
men, but women and girls were taken
'orcibly from their homes and sent
o enforced labor in Germany. 1t was
imply revival Of slavery-slavery
O state master instead of to indi-
fidual owners.
The sinking of the Lusitania and '
he submarine warfare convinced the {
United States of it's immediate con- !
ern in a conflict in which state so I
uthlessly controlled was struggling I
or world dominance. b
1t is because Americans have come r
D believe-reluctantl in most in O
the Prussian spirit now 8
irecting Germany's wonderful ener- t
les is threatening the liberties and d
leals of the world that the United |,
tates is at war today. O
Blockades and trade routes may be s
lie occasion for the war. But it will f,
1t be war in defense of trade. 1t
a war in defense of liberty and
against the military autoc-
cy of the Hohenzollerns. a.
