INVESTIGATING THE INYESTIGA.
TORS

Editorial confidence in the purely
patriotic and disiniterested motives
behind the investigation conducted by
the Committee on Military Affairs is
proclaimed by all sections of our
press, but this confidence is not so
much in evidence when it comes to
the inquiry undertaken by the Com
mittee on Manufactures, which is in
vestigation the departments headed by
Herbert Hoover. food administrator,
and Henry Garfield, fuel administra-
tor. Says the New York World
What is to be thought of an in
quiry into the coal and sugar situa-
tion which is put in charge Of a com
mittee of which Senator Reed of Mis-
souri, is chairman, and Senator La
Toilette, of Wisconsin and Senator
Vardaman of Mississippi are influ-
entail members? Senator Reed, who
is to investigate Mr. Hoover. was the
most bitter opponent of the Food Ad-
ministration Bill and of Mr.. Hoover's
appointment It was largely through
his efforts that this highly important
legislation was delayed for months.
and when it was finally enacted the
government was deprived of the pow
er that it needed for adequate control
and regulation.
1T is possible that the Reeds, the
la Follettes. and the Vardamans of
the senate can be trusted to make an
impartial investigation, and that they
will even recommend to congress with
out prejudice any additional legisla-
ton that may be necessary to
strengthen the hands of the admins
tration in carrying out it's war-poli-
cies. But human nature is human ma
ture, and it would not be astonishing
if skeptical souls should appear who
will demand strong proof of the com
mittees good faith before they take it,
work seriously"

tary Garrison and President Wilson
did not take into consideration the
temper OF the country, and that it was
therefore imperative. Interviews
from all parts of the country showed
that the Garrison plan was hopelessly
unpopular with the people and with
congress. We are not blaming any
one. We are simply stating a fact
President Wilson realized that the
plan would be lost He understood
that if he insisted on that or nothing
he would get nothing. Therefore, he
notified Secretary Garrison in sub
stance that he must not urge his
measure as the only one which the
administration would accept CARR

son refused to accept what congress
men, both Republican and Democratic
we're willing to give, and what the
people wanted, his critics would have
now been denOuncing him as utter
~ impracticable and pig-headed for
not doing the only thing possible OF
the Idaho representation in Washing
ton Senator Borah was the only man
who approved the Garrison plan, as
we recall it, By the way he was one
of the fourteen Republicans who voted
for the appropriation for the Tillman
armor plate plan, against which
twenty-three Republicans and no Dem
ocrats voted We have not CLEANED
these facts about Borah from editor
ia1 columns of the Boise Statesman
the unusually consistent record of the
senior senator on this subject The
TIMES has often severely criticized
Senator BOrah and what it said stands
but it believes in giving everyone his
due.
That the president stood by Secre-
tary Garrison as long as it was pos
sible to hope for a successful out
come of the efforts to carry his plan
through, and that the alternative plan
which subsequently, proved so unsat-
isfactory. was adopted only when il
was evident that it must be taken in
order to get anything, is clearly prov.
en- by the following editorial from the
Twin Falls News of February "a, 1916
which shows that the sentiment amonf
the people against the plan killed it.
The News said:
while it is impossible to agree
with his, Secretary Garrison's, con
tinental army scheme, there can be
no question but what the plan had
the hearty endorsement of President
Wilson when the matter was five
preached, and the fact that the presi-
dent saw fit to change his mind a.

that a majority of the people were
not in sympathy with it, is of course,
the only reason that was needed tc

The views of their local organ were

delegation, and those who throw the
blame on the president for the fail
ure of the administration to carry
through a more radical preparedness

IV-Learning to Breathe.
BY PHOEBE PRESTON.

1t has always seemed to me that
once the novice swimmer has learned
that combination Of dead mans float,
arm and leg movement and found that
it actually produced definite motion
through the water. the path to
swimming success is right ahead.
But. very naturally. there's a good
deal more to swimming than merely
making progress with the nose and
face under water. It's nothing more
than the rudiments. but it's the be-
ginning of success
Now 1t Is quito obvious that one
cannot swim long with the face under
water, SO that II becomes necessary
to learn the fine points of breathing
in the water. It's much more diff
cult to breathe in the water than on
land Particularly is this true of the
novice for every vagrant wave that
hits his or her face IL generally re-
garded as the signal to quit swim
ming and get the water out of nose
and eyes and ears.
One Of the best ways to learn TO
breathe, / think. is to blow bubbles
through the mouth while doing the
dead mans host When the begin
ner starts the leg and arm movement
at the same time, blow bubbles the
moment the arms start
The moment the air in the lungs is
exhausted, start turning the heal u

rise above the surface. Time this
turning with the time the right arm
is ready to dip into the water. As

the mouth is in a position to taEe
in q breath.
Then. as the head dips nder again,
to resume its former position, blow
out these bubbles under water and

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE West
Flanders front was the scene OF
savage fighting during the night.
Six times massed German pha-
lanxes were hurled against the
British lines around Ypres, but
the attackers were rolled back by
the violent artillery FIRE from
British batteries and the unerring
stream OF lead from British ma
chine guns.
Not only were the attacks re-
pulsed, announced the war office
today. but the British lines were
strengthened and extended.
The heaviest fiGhting took place
northeast OF Ypres, where the
British had made important gains
on Friday.
Prince Rupprecht, the German
commander. made a bold and de-
termined effort to retake some
of his lost positions, but his ef-
forts turned into miserable fail
ures before the gallant and bril-
liant resistance OF the Anglo
French troops.
In the region of the Ypres-
Menin road (southeast Of YpresD

ter attacks, gaining ground from

GERMANS FIGURE
EARLY RETREAT
NCHAMPA ACNE

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
AFIELD, Aug. 1.-THE Germans are
figuring on the possibility Of the
British and French offensive in Elan
ders forcing them to retreat to their
next defensive line.
A desperate hope Of retaking posi-
lions that would permit an eventual
retreat northward from the Aisne and
Champagne regions is what inspired
the German Crown Prince to his vio-
lent assaults against the French lines,
IL appeared today.
Profting by the temporary lull in
the Flanders battle, the Crown Prince
resumed attacks along both the
Chemin des Danes and the Moron
villiers crests
Unless the crown prince can drive
the French from these two domin-
atinE positions before the results Of
the Flanders battle force a shorten
ing OF the German front, the French
from both the Ladies' road" and
Moronvilliers will be able to cut on
any attempt of the German center to
retreat.
The German attack. which has been
growing stronger throughout the
week, eliminated in yesterday morn
ing's terrific assault from Pantheon
TO Chevrigny. There the same Alpine
Chasseurs who on July 13 advanced
500 meters on 1,500-meter front, re-
pulsed the Germans with the heaviest
losses.
The German morale IL weakening.
This was indicated throughout the
week by the constant surrender of
their attacking troops. The French
took prisoners in almost every at
tack. The capture OF assaultinE
troops has been extremely rare in
the past.
