BY THIS ST Ate
Out of 1400 at Fort Douglas
1000 Are From Here
Boise Boys Say They
Want Red Cross Kits.

Idaho has made another commend
able enlistment record. Out of 1400
men at Fort Douglas Salt Lake Utah,
who entered the United States army
prior to Dec. Is. the date the new draft
regulations went into effect 1000 came
from the Gem state. Dick Donovan,
deputy state farm market bureau who
recently visited Salt Lake, makes this
announcement.
Il am sure it Is not generally known
that so many Idaho boys are now at
Fort Douglas. Salt Lake. having en-
tered the service prior to the closing
date before the second draft went into
effect" said Mr.. Donovan. with
credit of total Of 1000 out Of 400 1t
seems to me that Idaho has reason to
feel proud of the record made.
I'm my conversation with the Boise
boys at Camp Douglas I discovered
that none of them have received Red
Cross kits and that they would like
very much to have them. Those in
terested in this matter might get In
touch with Clay Koelsch. well known
here, who is now with the enlisted
Idaho men at Camp Douglas. Most Of
the Idaho boys selected the artillery or

| Henry Quirk, owner Of the Boston
grocery of this city, enlisted In the
commissary department. There Is
such keen demand for men qualified
in this branch. that he was not given
time to return to Boise and close up
his business affairs, but was sent d.
rect to Jacksonville. Florida, where he
has been given an important commits
sary assignment. Marion German OF
this city also entered the commissary
service.
Among the Boise boys at Camp
Douglas. who enlisted prior to Dec. Is.
are: Frank Newland. the Kiefer broth
ers, Arthur Johns. Guy Mathews. Har-
old Shaw Willis Milrick. Jim Dough-

While was there most of the boys
were Sick from the serum injections
given, but otherwise felt good" said
Mr.. Donovan. They are anxious to
get their uniforms and to leave Salt
Lake and go into vigorous training.
They told me they never thought peel
ing potatoes and washing dishes be-
fore was such good sport"

INVESTMENT FOR PEACE

Farmers of Amer.c have greater responsibilities now than ever before in the history of this country. An5 with these responsibilis e conc O. E0rtunities that no otter Ee3I le have.
 The war, with all it's horrors, is still raging and our brave boys are march ing off to defend our homes against those who have plotted and conspireI against them. That some may produce the necessities of lie and maintain the army and the navy is as imper2 tive that some leave the farm as wei as factory, bank, store and profession al life. Yet it will require more than the products of our farms to sustain ''our boys at the front and enable them to win the war. The government is asking that We loan some of our cash and thus help the boys and the nation secure peace. In return for the cash the government will issue a Liberty Bond, which is safe invest ment and which will pay interest to the holder.
 Farmers are getting better prices for what they have for sale than ever before. The living expenses of those who live on the farm and produce most of the food at home is very small when compared to that of the city or town man who must pay for the high cost of living Thus farmers should glad ly loan their money to the government and thus have larger part In winning the war and making the world safe for democracy. Farmers of the South west have always been loyal; they are now and will be as long as this nation shall protect them They will also buy Liber,y Bonds and hasten peace Farm and Ranch.

GERMANS APPEAR ID BE
 LOSING FIGHTING SPIRIT
Gffer Little Resistance on the Whole, Infantry Dem0ralizeG in Many Sections and Artillery
 Fire Weak.

British Front in France and Bel gum, Tuesday, Oct 9.-The blow struck by the British and French f~r<,s today against 8. wide section of the German defenses between the Houtholst forest and Boodseinde has resulted in another great success Over much of this front the attacking troops swept forward to depth of 1,200 yards or more, oyerrunning many important strongholds of the shattered enemy. This afternoon the allies were digging in almost on the outskirts of Houtholst forest, the British were beyound Poe,cappelle, aft CT bloody hand-to-hand G-hting, and, further south. they had gained the Passchendaela ridge within less than 1000 yards of Pas 5chenG&eie, thereby wrenchi0g away almost all that re- mained to the Germans of their fla nous PasschendaeLe-Gaelu ridge system of Qualifications.
 Again the German losses have been great, and reports from all along the line indicate that their organization and morale were hit hard.
 Tremendous Handicaps Overcome.
 It has been another wonderful per formance on the part Of the allies, and the victory has been more re- markable because of the tremendous natural difficulties to the advance. The rain of the last two days had turned much of the battle ground in- to morass, through which the French and the men of the British empire floundered, knee deep.

wIDOWHOOD AND
$4,000 IN CASH LURES

VANCOUVER, Wash, Oct. o.
Widowhood with $4,000 in cash into
the bargain as a prospect Is doing
much to aid Cupid hereabouts. Incl
dentally this aid to the little God of
Love, in addition to making business
brisk for the county auditor here
the man who issues the licenses, Is
provoking a storm of protests from
the mothers of boys and girls alike.
The auditors office is being flooded
with letters from parents putting
stop orders against the issuing of
permits to minor venturers into the
field of matrimony.
One girl, whom her parents had
reason to suspect was going to get
married, was reported to be only il
years old.
Parents OF son in the army said
they objected to their sons marriage
first, because he had nothing with
which to support wife. and second,
he is minor and in the service of
his country, so should not form any
entangling alliances which would
have a tendency to impair his eftic-
iency in time of great stress.
Another mother objected that her
son was a minor and she would not
give her consent to his marriage.
1t is the belief that the stories in
the newspapers indicating that SOL
diers may carry insurance for their
wives to the amount Of $4,000 has
been responsible for the license rush.
The impression seems to have gained
belief that the government will pay
the $4,000 to the widow, in case of
death in battle and there seems to be
growing desire to take chance to
become wealthy war widow. The
glamor of being war bride, however
is in no small way responsible for the
desire to wed.
