ITO His Excellency, Hon. Moses

desire to call to your attention:
Whereas, n state Of war now exists
between the United States and Ger
many. 1t has become the pleasure and
duty Of every American citizen to put
forth his best efforts to the end that
this nation may be potent factor in
bringing about a lasting peace ;'and
Whereas, we believe this can be
brought about only through the sue
cess of our army and navy in oonjunc-
ton with the armed forces of the other
great powers that are now in deadly
conflict with the Germanic forces, and
whose success would endanger and
perhaps totally destroy the democracy
of the whole world. Now, therefore, be

EVERYONE SHOULD COOPERATE

Resolved, that it is the sense of
this State Council for National Defense
that the people of the state of Idaho
should pledge themselves anew to the
principles of freedom, of equal rights
and equal opportunities, which have
been attacked by the German empire
In this great struggle for human rights,
there is something for all to do. Ev-i
cry true American should be willing, to
cooperate to the limit of his powers
and resources in whatever line of
duty may be assigned him. Victories
are not won by armed forces alone. The
soil must be made to do it's part It is
the duty OF every farmer to stimulate
production SO that there will be a har-
vest sufficient for the needs of our
own people, and something to spare
for those whom we believe are fighting
In righteous cause on the battlefields
of the old world. In every line of in
dustry and in every legislative hall in
the nation there should be an express
sion of loyalty to the present national
administration, to the end that we may
present solid front, and thus give no
comfort to the enemy either at home or
abroad.
STRENGTHEN ARMY AND NAVY.
Resolved, that the army and navy
of the United States should be
in accordance with the
announced plans and purposes Of the
national administration. We believe a
selective CONSUMPTION law, in accord
with the plans announced by President
Wilson and the national board of ad-
visors, should be passed at once by
congress. We would suggest, however,
that the president call for volunteers
for the war with Germany, and that
the states be given 80 days in which
to fill UP the quotas assigned them
prior to putting In force the selective
law. We believe that
Idaho will fill her quota before 1t would
be possible to put in active operation a
conservative statute, and that many If
not all the other states will be equally
prompt.
INDoRsE PROHIBITION.
Resolved. that Secretary Houston
should be supported in his efforts to-
ward the control OF the distribution of
the farm products of America. As far
as possible we believe that speculation
In foods should be prohibited, and that
the government should take active
charge Of the distribution of the food
supplies Of the nation.
Resolved, 1t Is the sense of the
State Council for National Defense.
that 1t is an imperative duty Of the
congress at this time to pass
a national prohibition law, to the end
that the highest state of efficiency
shall be brought about, by the conser-
walton of our personal and material
resources.
Resolved, we urge upon our MEM
oers' Of the United States senate and
house Of representatives the duty of
support of the national ad-
in all steps that may be
1eemed advisable in the prosecution
II the war now in progress to a VIC
,orious end.
= Resolved, that we urge upon the
people Of the state the need Of avoiding
and waste. We believe |
he best interests of Idaho will be serv-
I'd by the continuous development OF |
'ur natural resources in so far as this |
work does not interfere with the SOW
ng and harvesting Of crops"

Refers to FatefI Meeting
Held at Potsdan1.
Iby Associated Press. ]

LONDON. July 2S.-An>art char
uctcrized as difficult. II not impossible
to doubt" regarding the origin OF the
war is published by the Times. The
writer recalls reference to the speech
in the RcichstaE last week Of Hugo
Haase, leader OF the Socialist minority
as reported in the Leipziger Volks
zeitung to the meeting July s. 1914
as one of the things which must be
explained before the origin of the war
is fully understood.
According to the Times's informant,
this probably will become the most
famous date OF that fateful month
He says meeting was held at Pots

Archduke Frederick OF Austria. Count
Won Berchtold. Austrian Foreign Min
lister; Count Tisza. Premier of Hun
gary. and General Hoetzendorf. They
decided all the principal points of the
Austrian ultimatum TO be dispatched
to Serbia.
Eighteen days later it was recog-
nized that Russia probably would re-
fuse to accept that consequence. The
Emperor then went to Norway, with
the object says the writer, Of throw
ing dust into the eyes of the French
and Russian governments. Later.
when it became known that England
would not remain neutral, DR.. Won
Bethmann-Ho llwcg wished to with

IBy Associated preaa.l


CHICAGO, July 2S.-Movement of
freight to. through and from Chicago
was handicapped to-day by the strike
on nineteen railroads of switchmen
afhiiated with the Brotherhood Of
Railroad Trainmen.
For time. after they had walked
out, at A. NJ. the possibility OF media
ton hung in the balance. but before
noon the present likelihood OF Federal
relief vanished with the refusal of the
strike leaders to accept the offices of
G. w. Hanger, OF the Federal Board
OF Mediation and Cancellation
Contending that they sought only
the establishment of reasonable rules
regarding employment, promotion and
dismissal OF switchmen, the strike
leaders asserted that close to 5000 men
quit work. The railroad managers
conference committee placed the num-
Der who refused to work at less than
$500, and declared the cause OF the
strike to be insistcnce by the strikers
on rules which in effect amounted to
the establishment of a closed shop

against switchmen not members of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
The situation was further .coinpli-
Gated by the Switchmen's Union Of
Americ9. also largely employed on the
nineteen roads In the Chicago district.
The members of this union, afflliated
with the American Federation OF
Labor. and not with the d. r. T.. re-
mained at work with few exceptions.
In the eyes OF some of those who
watched tho progress of tho strike. 1t
was, regarded as fight between the
two switchmen's organizations as well
us Il contest with the railroads.
Railroad officials declared late In tho
day that their switch yards were work.
ling half of the normal force. En-
bargoes on perisnable goods were es-
tablished by the roads. though late in
the day the Chicago Junction Railroad
announced that its embargo did not
apply to live stock hauled over it's
tracks to the Union Stockyards by
other roads.
No violence was reported. although
