line army almost melted away.
Lemberg was evacuated because the
Russians had no shells or rifles. PrZInySl
because there were no cartridges
Said Russia Was Prepared.
Sukomlinoffs defense was that it was
impossible to supply the army because
the nation lacked industrial machinery
to turn out the work. Only two months
before this same man had declared in
the press that Russia was entirely pre-
pared for war.
Still more sinister is the evidence
given to prove that nothing whatever
was done to correct the apparent evils
of the Japanese war.
Sukomlinoff did not even spend on
the army money that was voted for its
maintenance and gave preference to
crooked contractors for bad guns. The
coming of the war revealed Russia S
terrible straits.
Sukomlinoff answered all requests for
munitions with all necessary measures
taken"
on September a6. when Field Marshal
Joffre. in an effort to relieve the situa-
ton asked if the supply of shells was
sufficient, Sukomlnoff gave reassuring
answer.
Trial Is Nearing End.
PETROGRAD, September a2-The
trial of Gen. Soukhomlinoff, former
minister of war. on a charge of treason,
is nearing the close. a verdict is ex-
pected late Sunday or early Monday.
Prosecutor Nosovitch, in his closing
argument. referred to the generals
dereliction in duty before and during
the war. He declared that many Rus
sian departments were guilty, but that
the minister of war was the chief cul-
prit
The prosecutor mentioned many per-
sons, even in Snkomlnoffs department,
who foreSaw the war would be long.
He said that the general neglected his
work, except where he was personally
interested.
Lied to the Duma, Is Claim.
Gen. Sukomlinoff the prosecutor
charged. lied to the duma throughout,
his motive being his desire to remain In
power at all costs. He said the gen.
eral entered into an open struggle with
VI. Guchkoff, who was the real cham
pion of the peoples welfare. The gen.
eral was guilty Of falsifying papers,
and lin the whole of his department
there was confusion and falsehood."
The prosecutor scoffed at the former
war minister's statement that his en-
tire wealth was 100000 rubles.
He said the expenditures of Sukomli-
noff s wife to furriers. jewelers. and mo-
distes alone amounted to 100, 900 rubles.
These moneys were the price Of
blood said the prosecutor. II support
the indictment against SukomlinoH in
every detail"
Trial of the Old Regime.
Public Accuser Santchich followed
the prosecutor and declared the trial
was a trial of the old regime. He ap-
pealed to the jury not to be afraid to
deliver a severe verdict. because, he
said, with Gods will our country will
recover and then it can pardon Sukom-
linoff''
NJ. Zacharin. the first of Sukomlinoff's
defending counsel. denounced the pros
ecution, declaring they had interviewer
politics into the judicial question.
He declared Sukomlinoff's administra-
,ion brought series of great victories
in Galicia and east Prussia during the
early part of the war. which were neu-
tralized by other generals, who he then

Recalls Mr. Wilson's Reply.

The Westminster Gazette in its COM
ments on the notes recalls President
Wilson'S reply to the Pope in which
as spokesman for the allies, he told the
Pope the word of the present rulers of
Germany could not be taken as a guar
antee unless it was supported by the
will OF the German people. and says
that the references in the Austrian and
German replies to the peoples of those
countries are fairly obvious illusions
to the demands made by the American
President
"It is clear" it adds, that they do
not take us far toward the goal which
he asserted must be reached before a
covenanted peace was possible"
Sees Step Forward.
The newspaper says it is highly sig
nifcant that Germany and Austria
should agree in principle to disarma-
ment and arbitration, and if these
principles are sincerely accepted step
forward will be taken in the right di-
rection. But it points out. 'The replies
have not word to say about the terms
which would settle the new status quo
to be maintained by disarmament and
arbitra ton. 1t is idle to pretend that
general acceptance of these principles
is either possible or desirable unless
the new status quo is one that could
also be accepted with the genuine in
tention that it should not be disturbed"

CONSIDERS
MOVING STATE UNIVERSITY

A bill introduced in the lower
house Monday by Alma Findlay. of
Bear Lake, would put up to the peo-
pie Of Idaho decision as to NOV
ing the state university from Moscow
to the southern part of Idaho. This
will require two thirds vote, since
it seeks to amend the constitution.
The move was proposed at q joint
meeting of the committees on educa-
tion from both houses with the state
board of education Saturday.
Another Booze Bill
The majority party Of the house
brought in a new booze bill, intro
duced by Ernest Anderson, which
provides for the removal Of sheriffs

derelict in their duties by the gov
ernor. There would be a committee
composed Of the attorney general,

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
DOING 1T DIFFERENTLY

The board of county commission.
ers are doing some things on new
plan this term, and there is going
to be less encouragement for loose
methods in making out bills and &C.
counting. County Clerk F. M. Fish
er recommended number oi
changes in the system for ordering
goods and auditing bills, and when
the board looked over the bills for
supplies for conducting the sheriff's
department and saw bills for matches
and tobacco for prisoners they in
structed the sheriff to discontinue
the old practice of buying these
things.
The lists of luxuries that had been
purchased by indigents when they
got permission to charge something
to the county also attracted their at
tention, and steps will be taken to
see that people who apply for the
necessities of life at public expense
and then jump in and spend it for
luxuries and lnen come back for
more will get beautifully fooled.
A system of giving publicity to as
signed accounts has also been adopt
ed upon the recommendation Of the
editor of The Republican. The plan
is to publish the bill in total in the
list and then list each bill in the
budget as it is shown in this issue
on page six, columns four and FIVE.
The items constituting the assigned
accounts are printed in the narrow
measure under the headings made
up of the following 1t has been
customary to publish only the totals,
and people who wanted to take ad-
vantage had become cunning enough
to sell their accounts at the banks.
If they could get them past the bank
er they were generally paid by the
county and the people had no way Of
knowing anything about what the
money was spent for. For two and
half years we have been advocating
this slight change to expose improper
charges and now our suggestions
has been urged against the plan was
that it would cost more for the print
ing. In this case it cost $1.65 more,
and had this plan been adopted three
or four eyars ago it would have
saved the county thousands of dol
lars.
Hereafter every bill will receive
and no bills will be honor
ed that are not filed promptly at the
close of the quarter. If you render
goods or service to the county be-
tween January and April 1, your
bill must be sworn to and filed with
the clerk by the first day of April
or it goes over to July before it is
acted upon.

GERMANY TO
STARVE ENGLAND
Unrestricted Use of Sub Marines;
Order to Sink Everything in
the War Zones

Germany declares she can bring
England to her knees in so days by
turning loose the submarines to do
their worst to destroy the commerce
of the allies.
The new order from the Imperial
Government Of Germany is to sink
everything in the war zone, begin
ming the first day Of February, and
to spare nothing that floats.
1t was proposed in parliament sew
eral days ago, that the English peo-
pie be put on rations, and German
estimates of the English food supply
put it at about 80 days. 1t is claim
ed that if the submarines can sink
all merchant ships approaching the
English coast, that England will be
starved and helpless in 60 days, and
the allied armies will be without food
unless they can secure 1t from
sources other than by sea.
The new situation makes break
imminent between Germany and the
United States.

OFFICERS CAPTURE
BARN FULL BOOZE

On information which led to sus-
picion, Deputy Anderson, Chief Sew
ell and Constable Lacour went to a
barn just north of the Irving school
Saturday afternoon and found it
literally full of cases of. whisky, 20
cases in all, tied in gunny sacks. No
arrests were made in connection with
this find. The drayman who was
just starting out to take the load
stated that he did not know what
it was ito consist of nor the name Of
the man who gave him the order.
He said. the man told him to go to
the barn and load up with some
goods stored there, and await fur
ther orders. He assumed that the
man would be there to direct him
where to carry the goods.
The officers say that IL there had
been two more case the capture
would exceed Bingham county's
record. which is 21 cases.

WELLS FOR SUGAR FACTORY

The means of supplying water for
washing beets at the Blackfoot sugar
factory is likely to be changed this
year from canal service to wells
and pumping. The canal service has
been interrupted many times by
heavy freezing, and last year it was
proposed to raise the canal banks
thruout to make it safe. Superintend-
ent William Varley advised against
it and suggested pumping from wells
or from the river, but the other plan
was adopted, they expended upwards
of seven thousand dollars on the
plan and had as serious Interruptions
as ever.
Mr.. Varley has just returned from
a trip east, and has instructions now
to investigate pumping plants with
view of finding some solution for
the water supply at the factory.

Tuesday whichehe did.
Mr.. Sollenberger left Monday aft
ernoon to comply with their request,

Of KINDNESS WAS
DENIED RIGHTLY

CHICAGO. Sept I2-Judge New
conner. OF the municipal court. on his
return from vacation. issued a state
ment defending his action in SEN
fencing William Gill to four months
in the Bridewell. Gill was released,
after two months, on a writ OF habeas
corpus issued by Judge Kavanagh in
the superior court, to whom Il was
represented that the offense was mere
ly the theft OF a few bottles Of milk
Judge KavanaEh evidently did not
hear all the facts in the case" Judge
Newcomer said.
This is what was told in my court
by six witnesses: Gill and a compan-
ion had been carousing all night. In
the morning they stopped a milk
wagon driver, threatened him. caus-
ing him TO fee. and then took possess
sion OF his wagon.
Later they did the came thing to
another milkman. 1t was a serious
offense, virtually a hold-up. and the
men might have been sent to the pent-
tentiary.
Il believe Judge Kaysnagh was i'm
posed upon-that he did not hear all
OF the evidence. The milk was a
minor consideration"
