Adverse British
Impression Gains

LONDON, Aug. lo,--The text OF the
papal peace note does not remove the
adverse impression produced here by
the publication Of its summary, On
the contrary, 1t strengthens the con
viction that the note is inspired by the
central powers and the opinion is that
its proposals are impossible The edi-
torials express much respect for the
pope and his profession Of perfect i'm
partiality, but regard him unable to
associate the matter at issue.
The Times says the allies are bound
TO rejec, his plan OF settlement which
proves more proGerman and more
an,i-ally even than the summary. The
peace he proposes would be German
peace and it is impossible TO read the
scheme withou, suspicion that the
note itself and choice Of the moment
OF its issue arc the outcome Of Ger
man inspiration. The allies, continues
the Times, have the same end in view
as the pope but are convinced that It
cannot be attained by the means he
advocates but only by victory in tho
field.
Letter with proposal
Following is the letter which ac'
accompanied the text OF the popes

foreign office

ious to do everything he can in order

Some Things You NAV Not Know

The principal food element furnished
by eggs is protein, the nitrogenous
tissue building element whose presence
IN considerable proportion also gives
meats, fish, milk, cheese, etc, their
special food value Eggs can, there,
fore be substituted iy the die, for the
latter foods without materially altering
the protein consumed
In addition eggs also furnish fat and
number OF valuable mineral ele-
ments, including sulphur. phosphorus,
iron, calcium and magnesium, in an
easily assimilable form, and are be-
lieyed also to he rich in certain essen

preparation when they are compared
with many other foods.
For all these reasons eggs deserve
an important place in the diet for use
at times in place OF other foods rich
in protein, provided egg prices arc not
so high as TO outweigh the other con-
slderations.
How to Preserve Eggs.
Housewives will often lind il ad
vantageous to preserve their own egg.
IN the home, purchasing them when The
supply is abundant, and packing them
IN a solution Of water glass or lime
water, or covering them with parafiin
or varnish. Eggs can be kept in good
condition in this way for a number of
months.
For currant use fresh eggs usually
can be kept satisfactorily for two or
three weeks without SUCH treatment in
a refrigerator or dry, ebol cellar II
lnfertile, such eggs may be kept still
longer.
Because fewer eggs are produced in
the most populous regions of the coun
try than are consumed there, and be-
cause the seasons have marked ef.
feet on the number OF eggs laid, city
housewife. must use cold storage eggs
during some periods OF the year If they
are to supply their tables at all with
this food
The fact that eggs have been held in
cold storage does not necessarily mean
that they are of low quality. Careful
ly handled cold storage eggs often are
OF better quality than fresh local egg,
that have been improperly cared for.

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR EX-
PLAINS MEANING OF THE
RULING
Delivery Systems Being
Organized Elsewhere
Delivery Independent of Grocers
May be Organized-Twin Falls
Merchants Will Act After the
Christmas Holidays.

Final Interpretation of the disputed
Garry" part of the cash and carry"
plan for grocers has been given by
United States Food Administrator r.
F. Bicknell, who, in a letter to Presi-
dent Jack Shrout of the Twin Falls
Grocers' association, says that goods
may be carried, provided that the GUS
toner pays for the carrying He sug-
gests that a general delivery system
may be organized on that basis or
that each grocer may have his own
delivery provided that each customer
pays for service received and that the
goods are cash at the counter. The
letter follows
Boise, Dec. 10, 1917.
Mr. Jack Shrout,
Chairman Grocers' Association,
Twin Falls, Idaho.
Dear Mr.. Shrout
Referring to our wires of today 1
am glad to know the merchants de-
cided definitely on the the cash part
OF the cash and carry home" plan.
In regard to the carry" end of this
plan the administration define it to
mean no delivery beyond the counter
except when paid for by the consum-
er. Under this you would be privileg
ed to organize a delivery system inde-
pendent of the grocers or each grocer
deliver separately providing they
make charge for such service. How
ever, the former plan has been deem
ed the better one as it eliminates any
/ chance of jealousy in the trade.
When / was at Idaho Falls the 9TH
er day they partially perfected plan
whereby an individual agreed to make
all deliveries for all the merchants
: at a charge of 10c for each delivery
no matter how small or large up to a
$40 purchase and be responsible to
the merchants under a bond for the
collection of the amount of each de-
livery, either by paying the money
= when he received the order or by pay
ing on his return from delivery say
$ at least twice each day.
t One of the seeming objections from
= the merchants is that they are so
e afraid that the consumers will kick
r about the Inconvenience of this plan,
a but / am satisfied they are greatly in
the wrong in this respect. From a
0 great many inquiries I have made we
y find that people are willing and ask
g ing to be inconvenienced in regard
e to anything that will make for a saw
ing of the waste in all lines of busi-
: ness and thereby help win the war
= as they feel there is so little they can
+ do and nearly everyone I have talked
d to would be willing to do even more
e providing it came as a request from
l. the government.
: Yours truly,
r. f. BICKNELL,
2 Federal Food Administrator Idaho.

and 2727 of the Revised statutes of
Idaho governing the conduct of cleo

"By subdivision 3, supra, of the Act
of 1917, it is provided that at the regu-
lar annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers of such corporations as are en-
braced in said Act, the stockholders
who are represented in person, or by

There is no such provision in sub-di-
vision 5 of said Act as to special
meetings.
Section 2735, supra, of the Codes
provides that at all elections or votes
held for any purpose there must be a
majority of the subscribed capital
stock represented either in person or
by proxy
"Section 2724, apparently, has refer
ence only to meetings held within one
month after the filing of articles of
incorporation for the purpose of or

bylaws at subsequent meetings.
"Construing said ub-division of
the 1917 Act in connection with these
other provisions of the statute, and in
connection with the provisions of sub
division of said Act, | am of the
opinion that reference in division
5, to section 2724 of the codes, is for
the purpose for notice of such special
meeting, and it was not the intention

to repeal the provisions of Section
2735 requiring a majority of the sub

business of the corporation, and thai
such a majority would be necessary
to transact business at such special

Apple packing time is over
An the thumbstal's laid to rest;
All the packers seem so sober

Now the winter winds do whistle
Warnin' tunes of comm snow;

With frost that bites, you know.
Lonesome folkses are tn packers.

And the pickers slip'd away;
All the leaves with frost has flirted-

SECRETARY BAKER SHOWS
THAT ENEMY FEARS OUR
SOLDIERS ABROAD
Hun Impatient at Ital-
ian Situation
All Must Realize Importance of
Pushing Forward and Giving
Active Support to the Cause of
America.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 24.-American
troops soon will form the principal
body of the fresh strategic reserves on
the battlefields of Europe and will
bear the brunt of the fighting, Secre-
tary of War Baker indicated today in
his weekly review of the war.
This fact is fully appreciated by
the enemy, the secretary asserted. The
recent peace feelers" and prepara-
tions for an intensive drive on the
western front are evidence.
The Italian armies, the secretary
asserted, have successfully held the
enemy along its lines.
The secretary's review in full fol-
lows:
"The Italian theater of war once
again is the scene of important mill
tary activity.
1.-The enemy, impatient of the delays
which have occurred in bringing about
the successful penetration of the Ital-
ian plain, and the overthrow of the
Italian armies, has dispatched further
forces to the Italian front with a
view to achieving a decisive result.
1.-The Germans are endeavoring to
follow the precepts of classic strategy
and by a successful enveloping
movement effect the destruction of the
Italian and allied forces.
1T would appear that they are anx-
/ ious to conclude their Italian adven-
ture in a manner similar to the previ-
Gus campaigns in Russia, Serbia and
Roumania, where, as a result of the
strategic developments gained at rel
atively small cost, vast tracts of ter

point long. By a series of daring
counter attacks. Monte Asolone was
retaken. This position is again in thu
hands of the Italians and increases

AGAINST RED CROSS
Bolsheviki Leader Dis
torts the Facts
American Ambassador Prepares
Statement Showing Funds Sent
by Order Were for Wounded,
Not Finance for Revolt.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-American
officials bitterly resented today the
charges made by Leon Trotzky, Boil
sheviki minister for foreign affairs
OF the present Russian government
that the United States was a party
to a plot to help Kaledines and the
Cossacks against the Bolsheviki The
allegations that this movement was
taking place behind the shield of Red
Cross work was especially displeasing
to officials who declared that the
charges had absolutely no foundation
in fact.
Secretary of State Lansing made il
very plain that there was no truth
in the charges. He intimated that

Cross work.
In connection with the Russian Rec
Cross work, Secretary Lansing ex
planned today that money had beer
assembled in this country for thu
purchase of ambulances and Rec
Cross companies. When these ambu
lances reached Russia, however,
was found that they were most ur
gently needed in the Roumanian from
and they were sent there. This wa
entirely in accordance with the plan
made by the resident Red Cross com
missioner for Russia.
SO far as the allegations by Trotzk
covering exchanges of money are cor
cerned, Mr.. Lansing pointed out thu
