NEGROES WIN HONORS
SomaIis Get 264 Citations for
Bravery in Battle.
Proud Trlbesmen Prove Efficient
Fighters, But Never Resort
to Savagery.

French Point-TwO hundred and
sixty-four personal citations for brav-
cry have been won by the negro sol
diers of a single Somalis battalion
since it landed in France in June, 1916.
OF these citations 100 were gained in
the fierce battles of the Aisne and the
remainder about Verdun.
Tho Somalis, many of whom were
recruited in British Somaliland, are
Independent and find the discipline Of
an organized army severe. Their
French officers, however, are accus-
toned to deal with these freedom low
ing tribesmen, and by appealing to
their pride of race and their Self-re-
spect obtain their devoted obedience
to such an extent that they rapidly
become excellent soldiers. These men
ons quickly and furnish many special
lists in the grenade throwing, rifle and
machine gun sections of French regi-
ments, for the men are of high intelli-
gence and are full Of natural initiative
valuable adjuncts in these branches
of fghting-while at hand grenade
throwing they are second to none.
Meticulously clean of habit, the So
malls, who are strict Mahometans,
never touch alcohol. In fact, they look
on any man given to intoxication with
the greatest distlain. They are self
sacrificing to a degree, as was evil
denced during their attack on La Bo-
velle, when they had to clear out the
shelters in trench which they had
just captured, and which were still
full Of Germans who had taken refuge
there. One of their European SER

known to be full of armed enemies,
when he was pushed aside by "a So

Let me go first! You are married"
A widely prevalent fallacy has
charged the negroes with savagery
against their captives. Their officers
say this charge has been disproved
time and again after fights at Verdun,
In Champagne and north of the Asne.

Fight With Both Fists

One of the first questions likely to
be considered by Congress after it
meets on December is a declaration
of war on the allies of Germany
Austria Hungary, Turkey and Bull
garia. At every step the government
is hampered in its war measures
against Germany by the fact that,
while these countries are making
guerilla war on the United States, this
nation is not at war with them.
Austria has been as barbarous as
Germany in the operation OF sub
marines, the most glaring example
being the Smelling of the Anconas
boats, and Austrian operations nave
attracted less attention than those of
confined to the Mediterranean and
because Austria has few undersea
boats
Austrians and Turks have been de-
tected in pro-German intrigue in this
and, as the Providence Jour
nal says, about 80 per cent of the
destructive acts have been committed
by the former The Turks are not |
behind in such work. for the French !

Card Index of Latah Men

The Press heartily endorses the
proposed plan of card-indexing the cit
liens names. In ordinary matters a
man has right to do as he pleases
And there is no law-yet+to compel
anyone to subscribe to the various
war funds. Ordinarily, if a man de-
clines TO donate toward the support
of any or all benefactions of public
or semi-public nature, that is his bus
mess and his motives are not ques-
toned. But this is different If a
man refuses to- purchase a liberty
bond or to aid the Red Cross or the
Y. NJ G. A, or any other army cause,
when he is known to be able to do so,
he cannot plead poverty. The public
has a right to know his reasons. Eel
lowship is fine thing, bith in theory
and practice. 1t is every mans duty
to help his neighbor whenever help
is needed. But we draw the line at
sending our young men to the trenches
to fight for the protection and liberty
of those who, for any reason than
that they are not able to do So re-
fuse to dedicate portion of their
bank account to aid in winning the
war. Looks like such peoples con-
science would trouble them, doesn't
it? Looks like they'd be ashamed to
look true patriot in the face.-Latah

BIG PROBLEMS
FACE CONGRESS-
HOW TO WIN THE WAR is THE
DOMINATING QUESTION FOR
LAWMAKERS

WASHINGTON - Congress reas-
sembled today with war problems be-
fore it which probably will keep it in
session until September or October.
Leaders expect these desults:
Declaration of war on Austria.
New and more radical war profits
taxes.
$20,O0O,OOO, 900.
Action on proposed dry" and wom-
an suffrage amendments to the ma
tional constitution.
There is general recognition that
the session will be largely emergency
in character, taking up war measures
as events at the front develop. Many
members favor keeping the session I'M
tutional life of the body ceases. The
fact that all members must seek-re-
election next fall and wish to be in
their districts acts, however, as a
brake on this movement.
La Toilette Problem
The senate has problem all its
war session adjourned, there seemed
to be general agreement to attempt
to censure and not to expel him. The
Wisconsin pacifist, however, has given
every indication of pushing the fight
to a decision himself-the two alter
mates being either that he is an ex-
PEELED martyr or the vindicated victor.
He confidently expects the latter re-
suit, counting on the senate's strong
free-speech convictions.
Three most powerful forces in the
se-Representatives Kitchin, Fitz-
gerald and Speaker Clark-are COM
mitted to levies of 80 per cent of war
profits. Sentiment is general that
not only must all levies be increased
but that new ways of raising money
must be invented. High cost of food
is working against proposed consump-
ton taxes.
Declarations of war are possible |!
against Bulgaria and Turkey as we'll |
as against Austria. Action on these |
matters will rest Austria. Action on |
these matters will rest solely on rec
from President Wilson. |
Leaders, generally expect the dry
to be successful, and the |
suffrage amendment to be beaten. The |
carrying of New York has had two |
has shown the womens |
but also has given ammuni |
ton to those who argue that the cause |
can succeed in a state-by-state fight. |
The dry amendment needs only to
pass the house, the senate having APP
proved it in the extra session. If it is
successful, three-fourths of the states
must approve it within six years.
Many "wets" have voted for it, think
ing this impossible, and figuring all
others dry proposals will be quiescent
until final decision on this one is
reached
Democrats are in safe control, hav-
ng picked up one additional member
n the special November elections.

High Cost of Booze

SEATTLE-The law of supply and
demand governs Seattle whisky trade
The supply of whisky falls far short
of the demand-so the price climbs
steadily.
Booze-of the usual binding variety
now brings from $3.50 to $40 a quart,
say those acquainted with the situa-
ton.
1t is estimated that several hundred
bootlegers are plying their trade in
Seattle and nearby towns.
