that it is cheaper to
build permanent bridges and roads

AIMING U. S. SHIPS
TO DARE SUBMARINES

The actual arming of American
merchantmen about to enter the for
hidden war zone began Saturday
under government supervision. These
ships will go forth armed by the
American government, supplied with
naval guns and gunners, and conse-
quently fully backed by the full force
of the United States.
That the merchantmen have fed
eral permission to fire upon threat
ening submarines is considered as a
tacit acceptance of war by Sir Sam
Hughes, now here as representative
of the British army, comforting with
American army officers. But Ger
many" he said, ALREADY has commit
ted acts of war on the United States
in many ways and many times" He
stated that in event of war between
United States and Germany, Ameri-
can officers now attached to Canadian
regiments will very likely be able to
secure transferral back to this county
to aid in tt aiming American troops.
Belgian Relief Ship Sunk by Subma-
rine
Thirteen survivors of the crew of
the Norwegian steamer, Storstad, a
Belgian relief ship, landed on the
coast of Ireland, last week, bringing
news of the loss of their vessel by
submarine torpedoes. There were
more than 80 men missing, and the
remnant of the crew had to fight the
rough seas for SO hours before eff
fecting the landing. They reported
that submarine began firing on sight,
altho they flew the Belgian relief
ensign, and had the insignia painted
on the ship.
German Proposal Never Submitted
Henry P. Fletcher the new Ameri-
can ambassador at Mexico City, after
having talked with the de facto
chiefs and Carranza himself, remains
satisfied that Mexico will maintain
her attitude of neutrality. 1t seems
the understanding that the German
did not try to acquaint
the Carranza government with his
from Zimmerman, proposing
allied war on the United States in
case this country should enter the
struggle.

and the Snake river bridge was as
sured of speedy treatment by the ap-
pointment of County Commissioner
W. c. Sollenberger and Mayor e. T.
Peck as committee of ways and
means to put it into good shape.
Music by the Suthbeck trio made
a hit with the men as before; the

of attention. Several visitors who
are coming into the business circle
or Blackfoot were in the assembly.

SterlingSpringfield section, spoke in
the general round, both strong for

A Correction

Our statement last week that Tan
ME Parker was taken before the
court and fined $40 and placed under
bonds to keep the peace was found
on investigation to be only partly
correct. The facts seem to be that
warrant was issued for him but he
beat the sheriff to it by going into
court and acknowledging that he had
been fighting, paid fine of $40 and
was excused.
