TEUTONs ARE MAsSING IN THE
WEST

Washington, Dec. 10-Germany has
massed on the western front her
greatest army of the war, Secretary
of War Baker declares in his weekly
review of the war issue dtoday. To
meet this menace the United States
must speed up military preparations.
The secretary's review also points
out that the German counter offensive
on the Cambrai front serves to em.
phasize a reviving of the strength of
the Gesmans in the west and says 1--WE
must recognize plainly that the sit,
uation on the eastern front has
brought about very decided change
in the strategic possibilities of the
military situation in the west"
The statement also hints at an ex-
pected German thrust against the
French front, and regarding the Ital-
Kan front says significantly: "Our
declaration of war against Austria
Hungary now associates us immed-
lately with the struggle going on in
Italv."

Settlers of the Boise Project
May Tender Payment for
Water at the Rate of $50
an Acre.
Directors of Water Users
Association Report on
Trip to Washington in In
terests of Cheaper Water
Mass Meeting Called.

Caldwell, Oct. 10.-The next move of
the members of the Boise -Payette
Water Users association towards eff
fecting reduction of the cost of gov
ernment water rights as announced by
the reclamation service will probably
be to tender the service officials at
the time of the first payment in De-
cember the sum of 81 per acre, or
per cent of the total cost, when based
upon the price of $50 per acre. In the
event that the reclamation service Of
ficials refuse the tender it is prob
able that the settlers will await their
further action.
This course was suggested by l.. ].
Masee the secretary of the association
at yesterdays meeting of the board OF
directors of the association, following
| his report of the results of the trip
made to Washington, D. c., by himself
and Directors C. NJ. Rankin and
| Thomas TAR for the purpose of de-
laying the opening of the project until
the cost of the water rights which are
held by the settlers to be unjust can
| be adjusted to their satisfaction. That
! his advice was received with favor was
| evidenced by he fact that Saturday
! Oct. 20, was designated as the date for
mass meeting to be held in this city
by the settlers for the purpose Of dis
cussing his suggestion and taking ac-
tion in reference to it.
SENATORS INVITED.
United States Senator William E
Borah has signified his purpose to at
| tend the meeting and hear the protest
| of the members of the association
against the price of the water rights
/ which have been fixed by the reclama
tion service and explanation of the
grounds for their protests. Senator
James H. Brady and Congressman Ad-
olson T. Smith and Burton l.. French
win also be invited to be present and
it is expected that they will be. Al
this time. according to the report OF
Secretary Magee, who has just re-
turned from Washington, the chance
of the settlers to effect a reduction
from the announced cost, largely
hinges upon whether Secretary of tbs
| Interior Franklin X. Lane will adhere
to his set policy of ratifying only
| such agreements entered into between
| the reclamation service and irrigation
projects as have been approved by the
board of directors of their water users
associations If he does, it is contend.
| ed that the agreement made with the
| people under the New York canal fo1
| the reduction of, the cost of water
, rights will be abrogated as would alsc

IDAHO SOLDIERS
DONOT RELISH THE
REGIMENT CUT-UP
Disappointed When They
Learned at Camp Greene
Their Organization Was
to Be Divided.

ldaho's enlisted men at Camp Greene
are being well treated by the people of
Charlotte according to Joel l.. Priest,
Oregon Short Line agent. He accom-
panied the boys to the cantonment and
spent day going over the camp.
Charlotte people are receiving the
soldiers with characteristic southern
hospitality" said Mr.. Priest The best
homes of the city have been thrown
open to the men. Everything Is being
done to bring cheer into the camp"
The trip from Boise was uneventful.
Mr.. Priest was on the train which left
Boise at 1920 Monday morning 1t
arrived at Charlotte at $50 the fol-
lowing Sunday morning.
AT Nashville, Tenn, and at Ash
ville n. c., where we stopped for some
time, the Red Cross women served the
boys with coffee and sandwiches" said
Mr.. Priest. The Idaho band gave
concerts and thousands of people gath
cred to cheer the men along"
DISAPPOINTED.
According to Mr.. Priest, there was
considerable disappointment among
the Idaho men when they found that
the regiment had been cut to pieces.
They soon realized" said he, that
the big thing is to get trained men to
France to help lick the kaiser and ad
justed themselves to the new condi-
tions. Adiutant Moody made a trip to
Washington to try to hold the regiment
intact, but was advised that nothing
could be done along this line
DIR. Shook, Twin Falls dentist, has
been given general charge of all dem
tai work at the camp. Major Clark. of
the field hospital corps, has been
placed in charge of the base hospital.
TO SEE BALL GAME.
After leaving Charlotte Mr.. Priest
visited a number of the eastern cities,
stopping off at Chicago TO see two of
the world series games. He says the
railroads throughout the country are
meeting with success in handling the
increased traffic. Service is subordin- :
ated to the demands OF the government
but the public Is cooperating by load :
ing cars to full capacity and by un-
loading promptly. The east is thor
oughly aroused" said Mr.. Priest, and

are receiving consideration on every
hand"

BODIES AND RIFLES
STUCK IN THE MUD
TELL BATTLE STORY
British Advance in Flanders
characterized by Ire
mendous and Disastrous
Loss to Enemy.
BY VIM. PHILIP SIM ms.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
With the British Armies in Flanders,
Oct. l0.-A merciful -envelopins
mud today blocked ont for the most
part the horrors of a boggy battlefield
originally carpeted with German dead.
In five battles in the Flemish bogs
since July 81, the Germans have been
driven back an average of a mile for
each battle. From information obtained
prior to the attack, coupled with what
my own eyes saw and my ears heard,
| am in a position to say that the OBJ
jectives in every one of these five bat
ties were completely won according to
schedule.
THE MOST DESPERATE BATTLE
TACTICS OF CROWN PRINCE
RUPPEECHT HAVE BEEN A COM
PLETE FAILURE IN STEMMING
THE BRITISH ASSAULT.
Not only are the Germans steadily
retiring from the most important posi-
tions in Flanders, but their casualties,
on the most conservative estimate, ap-
proximate IS per cent greater than
those of the attacking British.
PILL BOXES BLOWN UP.
Every shell hole today held shattered
dead. Inside concrete block houses one
invariably found dozens of corpses-
many of them killed by concussion
when the shells themselves failed to
penetrate. The vaunted German pill
boxes were often completely blown
out of the wet earth their crews scat
tered and ploughed into the Shiny,
slippery ground.
The whole battlefield over which the
British achieved their victory was piled
with Uttered heaps of rifles, human
bodies, impediments-all sorts of ma
terial--all slowly oozing through the
mud today.
TOOK GUNS TO REAR.
The fact that so few German guns
were captured by Field Marshal Haig
is attributed to the German habit of
hurriedly yanking their guns to the
rear the moment it is certain that a
British advance has started. The Ger
mans clean their front lines of field
pieces the instant battle starts, send
ing horses Galloping to the rear with
them. They use only high velocity
guns and some of the bigger howitzers
during these British attacks, and these
big guns are kept well to the rear.
They continue hammering incessant-
ly.
THE WAR is NOT OVER AND
THE GERMANS CAN TAKE A LOT
OF BEATING YET. BUT THE FIVE
ADVANCES SCORED WITH COM =
PLETE CARRYING OUT OF ALL
PLANS FOR EACH SHOW WHICH
WAY THE WIND is BLOWING.
