PLAN TO RAISE
MILLION TROOPS
in EVENT OF WAR MOSCOW
WOULD BE EXPECTED TO RAISE
so SOLDIERS FOR ARMY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12-It is hard
| ly secret any longer that the general
staff is laying plans to raise an army
of 100000 federal volunteers, supple
mental to the regular army and the
national guard in the event that war
comes. Some military authority main
tains that half million in any war
with Germany under present condi-
tions would be quite sufficient to guar
antee safety in any event, but as
against this is urged that no one can
predict the length of the war and it is
believed to be training a surplus than
less than enough, particularly as it
takes so long to make soldiers out of
volunteers.
Taking the federal census estimates
that in 1916 the population of conti-
mental United States was 102,017,312, |
raising an army of a million would |
mean that one out of every 102 resi- |
dents of the United States would be |
required to join the colors. Moscow
accordingly, placing the population
at 5000, would be expected to furnish
80 men. The quota for the entire
state of Idaho would be something
ike 300. Seattle would be asked for
'4O0 and Spokane more than 14O0.

the beginning of the present semester
January %, Superintendent Charles
Henry areported at meeting of the
school board last night There were
but 81 failures, making the average
successful students number 50 per
cent of the city's enrolment, high
and creditable rate of promotion.
Three more students are enrolled
this month than last, Superintendent
Henry's report shows, and the total
enrolment is now 1160. The average
daily attendance, however, has been
comparatively low this month on ac-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Senatol
Willard Salisbury of Delaware, to-

would permit Allied warships to use

President Wilson completely approves
the plan, which is meeting with strong
objections from Senator William J.
Stone of Missouri, chairman of the
foreign relations committee.
This measure might enable the
government to prevent violations of
the United States rights at sea with
out the necessity of declaring war;"
the author of the bill stated.

more wealthy districts. The average

TOKIO, Jan. 5.-(By mail) In

SOME GERMAN FACTIONS
ANXIOUS TO FIGHT U. S.
United Press Correspondent in Uncensored Dispatch
Declares Correspondents Have Been Unable to
Depict True German Conditions
By CARL ACKERMAN

sor Hesis at Berne with the American
embassy whom he accompanied from
Berlin when Ambassador Gerard was
withdrawn)
BERNIE, Feb. 13.-The severance of
relations with Germany by the United
States on February Sd, astonished Ber-
lin. German-Americans in the United
States had assured German officials
that President Wilson would not dare
act, fearing internal troubles.
Chancellor Won Hellweg was admit
tedly downcast when Ambassador Ger
ard left Berlin Saturday, and Foreign
Secretary Zimmerman was nervous
when he bade the American war cor
respondents farewell. Secretary Zim-
norman insisted to the newspaper
men that President Wilson is seeking
war with Germany, and denied that
Germany had made any promises fol-
lowing the Sussex incident which were
irrevocable. Field Marshal Won Hin
denberg believes that submarine ac-
tivities will win the war for Germany
before the United States has time to
nrtnr
for decisive battle. He has ordered
cancelled all army furloughs for Feb
ruray.
Militarists are anxious to, fight the
United States but the newspapers are
urging caution and are urging that
submarines spare all vessels carrying
Ameican passengers.
Correspondents have been unable to |
depict true conditions in Germany for |
the past three months, on account of
the censorship which has become most
severe. All dispatches designed to in
fiuence American public opinion IA
vorably have been passed, but all 9TH
ers have been halted.
Germany's internal affairs reached
crisis in November The people were
destitute and respondent, and the So
cialists were threatening militant
peace movement unless the kaiser ask
ed peace Immediately. Powerful anti
American landowners and industrial
leaders demanded the removal of un-
restricted. summarizing, and national !
liberals seeking war with the United
States enlisted Secretary thinner
mans aid in securing renewal of the
policy. The socialists were won over ,
by Chancell ethmann-Hollweg's ,
peace speech. !
The Allied reply to the speech i
greatly frightened Turkey. The Sui {
tan must continue fighting while the s
Germans are defending Constantinople.

Ask For B. v. R. R. Change


Petitions are being circulated in
Morris, GracevilIe, and Browns VAL
ley for change in the passenger
service on the Browns Valley branch
Of the Great Northern. All of the
petitions are being readily signed.
The petition asks CD that the
regular passenger service be restored
to the old schedule, Wis: that the
passenger train leave Twin City
train, No. IA, leaving Norris again
for Browns Valley on the arrival of
the Twin City train No. 10. (2)
That the daily freight train carrying
passenger coach shall leave Morris
at Z a. M, running from Browns
Valley and return the same day.
The reason stated in the petition
is that the present services are not
satisfactory resulting in twenty
four hours additional delay in
freight deliveries; that night pas
senger service without sleeper has
resulted in increased inconvenience
and hardship to the travelling public,
which inconvenience will be materi-
ally increased by the approaching
winter, and that further that the
proposed change will result in in
creased revenue and economy for the
transportation company.
