CONVERT JIM HILL LINERS
INTO BIG TRANSPORT SHIPS

BREMERTON, Wash The big
Hill liners, the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific, are at the
Puget Sound navy yard here, be-
ing converted into troop transports.
The ships are ideal for this purpose,
and will each accommodate over
5000 men when changes have been
completed. All the fittings are be-
ing taken out of the ships and stored.
After the war they will be put back
in the ships and the vessels turned
back to the owners. Three thousand
bunks will be built on the main decks
of the ships. The government, it is
reported here, will spend $1,O00,000

A BOOST FROM CALDWELL

A good many readers of The Re-
publican are interested in knowing
what people in other parts of the
country think of Bingham county
and the things in it. A lady at Cald-
we'll, who has read The Idaho Re-
publican for good many years
writes that she prizes the paper for
the service it renders and for its
failure to play up the unimportant
things as IL they were vital. She
deplores the practice of some OF the
so-called leading papers of the state
in devoting much space and great
expense to publishing lot of fool
ishness about social affairs and
sources of waste that produce moth
ing, while the vital things on which
life and comfort and moral welfare
depend are left untouched and need
ing earnest efforts. She says that
when she thinks of sending a copy
of such a paper to some friend In
another state, she hesitates an &C
count of the character of the paper
as shown by these things. She
wishes we would establish state
paper and develop it by useful SER
vice rather than by contests and by
catering to peoples pride and van
ity, as is usually done.
The suggestion about a state paper
is all right for somebody who has a
million dollars to pour into the eff
fort and 40 years of vigor to sac,
rifice, but in our humble opinion
Bingham county is our size.

War Office

LONDON.-Ihe recent arrest on a

a man who advanced as his defense
the plea that it was necessary for

brought to light the fact that thou-
sands of men are serving in the allied

be rejected for poor eyesight.
The magistrate in explaining the
situation to the defendant told him
that many cases of bravery by men
who could see little without their
glasses had been brought to the at.
tention of the war office, and cited
the instance of a soldier who had
first been rejected because of poor
sight and who recently was decorat-
ed by King George for bravery on
the battlefield.
