HERE'S The STUFF
FOR UNCLE SAM
LATAH MAN GETS UNDER THE
WIRE AFTER LONG, HARD
STUNT

Late Thursday afternoon two more
men appeared for examination for the
new army. Alvin Edward Hamblet of
Troy whose serial number is 1854 and
draft number AZ, was on placer mine
in Montana. His notice did not reach
him until Friday night and because
he was so anxious to be accepted he
walked Is miles with 50-pound pack,
then left the pack and walked II more
miles after dark. He is a splendid
specimen for the army, passed his
physical examination without hitch
and has filed no exemptions.
H. w. Best of Kendrick was the
other man examined. He also receiv-
ed his notice too late for him to ap-
pear when ordered. He did not pass
the physical examination.

SHEPHERD AT MOSCOW, Russia
Socialism has failed in Russia. Pre-
mier Kerensky has recognized this fact
and great conference here August 20
will mark the end of Socialistic rule
in Russia 1t will also mark the en-
trance of the new elements of con-
servatism. The Socialists realize that
they have failed in their attempt to
govern the nation single handed. This
is due to the fact that the cities are
Socialistic while the country is con-
servative and because the peasants re-
fused to sell food to the cities de-
cause of the high prices.

TROOPS
FROM THE CAPITOL
BLOCK PACIFISTS

WASHINGTON. April "A house
fully organized and ready for war
greeted President Wilson tonight
In the late hours Of the day, house
members had completed election of
minor house officers, adopted rules
and named committees, thodgh some
minor committee matters were yet to
be disposed Of.
Chairman Floods revised resolution
proclaiming a state of war with Ger
many and resolving upon firm prosecu-
ton thereof. was dropped in the hopper
directly at the conclusion of the pres
ident's speech.
Tomorrow both house and senate
committees will act on the resolution.
il will be moved speedily and probably
before Wednesday night the state of
war will be officially recorded, fresh
soldiers will be under call and strug-
gle that marks a democracy's final step
against a brutal autocracy will be an
accomplished fact.
Within the capitol, an air of strain,
subdued and grimly serious, was mani
fest. Galleries were crammed. With
out, q crowd of pacifists and others
who sought admission were barred by
mounted troops and police-all with
orders to use their weapons should
there be an untoward demonstration
against the president.
The cavalrymen had been ordered at
the last moment, for fear that there
might be some calamity. They were
ordered to clear the blocks near the
capitol and keep them clear during the
speech. Secret service men were gath
cred throughout the capitol
The first partisan fight of the extra
session came late this afternoon when
Representative POu proposed adoption
Of the old rules. Minority Leader
Mann baked, but the adoption went
through.
War was the watchwOrd.
Thrilling speeches had marked the
days session.

British Within 2 10
Miles of St. Quentin
By WILLIAM PEBp sIMn6s.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
AFIELD, April British forces today
advanced to within two and half miles
OF ST. Quentin.
Their lines were thrust forward from
the west to this near approach to the
city believed to be one of the main
points in the Hindenburg line
In the meantime British forces north
west of the city have taken the towns
of Attilly and Villecholles on the rail-
road line running from Roisel to st.
Quentin.
A number of prisoners were taken in
this fresh advance by the British, in
Guiding three officers.
The fighting in this section has been
more bitter, but the German
losses were much the heavier. In the
Savy engagement alone, reported yester-
day by Field Marshal Haig, the German
casualties numbered several hundred.

and do our part as well as other
men can do theirs. We fight for
great principle, vital to progress,
vital to all mankind.
To shirk any part of our duty to
that principle is to declare that we
do not believe in it, that all we
ever said about it was a bluff and
that we are the worlds premium

None of that. We will not drag
in the dirt the worlds hope to be
free. The whole course of mankind
for centuries to come, whether up
to general freedom and happiness
or back in the old prison house de-
pends on this war.
The end of the war depends upon
us. This nation hasn't any record

make one now.
