| BOISE-1n nine months the Unite d
States army has grown from 10000
to 100000 men whom Germany and
Austria will have to deal with, for
they are sworn to carry out the policy
of this country to fight for the pres

authentic information that has been
transmitted to the Idaho State Council
of Defense by the Council of National
Denfense and released for publication
by DR.. E. A. Bryan. They are the
first authentic figures given out show
ing the remarkable growth of the army

are the favorite sons of Idaho who

the second training camp get their
