BRITISH ADMIRALTY DENIES
U-BOAT WARFARE ENDS
Sir Eric Geddes Warns Nation Against
False Hope.

London, Nov. 16.-In reply to a ques
ton i'm the house of commons today
Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the Il
miralty, said:
The good return of tonnage sinking
by enemy submarines last week and in
deed the comparatively favorable result
of the last two months ought not to
be taken as indicating that the subma-
rine menace is a thing of the past or
defeated"
Sir Eric recalled his recent speech in
the house of commons in which he
said the enemy's attack on British
trade was being held, but had not been
defeated, that the Germans were build.
ing submarines faster than the British
were destroying them. but that, with
improved methods, he looked for the
eventual defeat of the menace. He also
reminded his hearers he had said mer-
camille marine tonnage was not being
maintained against the depredations OF
submarines.

the calls upon the merchant shipping

great that nothing should be left un-

Idaho County and Draft

Reports appearing in the daily press
of movements of drafted forces from
their homes to the national army camp
at American Lake, Wn., and to other
divisional environments throughout the
country, do not bring to the people of
Idaho county full realization of the
feeling of compassion which has been
experienced in most cities and towns of
the United States on the occasion of
tn departure of the home boys for
military training for service against
the Germans, says the Free Press.
Idaho county, singularly patriotic at
the outset, did not wait for the draft,
but sent forward so many of her sons
as volunteers in the several branches
of the military that she escaped con
ScriptiOn. OF course, it was not with
out some heavy hearts that her volun-
teerS departed from this county, but it
was with commendable feeling of
pride on the part of the home folk, as
well as the boys, that this county was
so fully represented in the American
army.
While thousands upon thousands of
cOnScripted soldiers are jubilant at be-
ing among those selected by their Uncle
Sam to protect the nations rights and
uphold its honor, others have been taken
for the service after they have exer-
cised every possible means to shirk
their patriotic duty. Not so in Idaho
county. Every man in the military
service from this county has gone be-
cause he has heard and obeyed his
country's call, and such men surely will
give good accounts of themselves in
every field of activity.

SLEEPING AND EATING

Sleep is important Children require
more than grownups. Don't weigh
down your body with heavy covers.
Light weight blankets, wool and cot
ton comforts of light weight are ex-
celelnt. Canton flannel sheets
are good in winter. Outing flannel
gowns are most comfortable. Feather
beds are not sanitary. Any home can
have a good cotton mattress and stout
springs. Newspapers are good to use
between springs and mattress. A lay
err of some heavy cotton material
should always cover the mattress be-
fore the bottom sheet is put on. In
the winter a hot water bottle in the
bed is a luxury anyone can afford.
Next in Importance to sleeping is
eating. Eating means supplying the
body with the proper amount of food
necessary to sustain life. 0ver-eating
is just as bad as undertaking. Quail
ty and variety are the most essential
things to consider. You often hear
domestic science teachers placing spe-
cial stress upon a we'll selected ra-
ton. They teach us the value of good
fruits, good vegetables, good bread and
some meat.

help out in the business of the county,
as well as to do his official duties. He
bought during the past season So tons
Of lime, brought it to his county and
sold it at cost at the railroad tracks.
He was able to secure riscount for
the payment of cash for the whole
amount, and gave the buying farmers
the benefit Of that low figure. He
gained in good will, perhaps, but he
gained more in his own satisfaction
that any county would do better farm

He is one Of the men who look to the
future. He plans for his community

RAILROAD AROUND THE WORLD

The old project of tunnel under the
Straits of Dover to link England and
France, has been revived. Leading
men in both nations see that if such a
tunnel existed British troops, NUM-
tons and supplies could be sent thru
it safely, and this would release a fleet
of war vessels and transports on duty
in the channel and let them work else
where. 1t seems probable now that as
soon as the war is over the tunnel will
be built. 1t is estimated that such a
tunnel would cost s5O,0OO,O0O.
Whee King Edward opened the
great Fourth Bridge in Scotland, a
London artist drew a picture of a
train crossing it, bound south, and bear
ing this prophetic legend: Through
train-Aberdeen, London, Dover, Chan
mel Tunnel, Paris, Berlin, st. Peters
burg, Alaska, Canada, New York.
A dream? Yes, but they said
Goethe, he German poet, was dream
ing when he prophesied that some day
canal would cut the isthumus of Su-
ez, another would unite the Atlantic
and Pacific at Panama, and a third
would join the Danube and the Rhone.
All three have been accomplished.
And who will asert that the time
will not come when through passage
may be booked from New York City
or from Kansas City, by way of Can
ada and Alaska, across the narrow
Behring Strait by bridge, which has
been declared to be practicable, to Pc
trograd by the Siberian Railroad, to
Berlin, Paris, and through the channel
to London? Such line would con-
meet all'of Europe with America by a
land routs. And when the north and
South American Railway has beer
built, and the Cape-to- Cairo road is
finished, traversing Africa its full
length from north to south, the travel
er from Patagonia, having reached
Berlin without wetting his feet, coulC
go on dry shod, by way of the new
Berlin to Bagdad railway, the building
of which was interrupted by the wal
across the Bosphorus bridge into Asia
by rail; down through Palestine t
Suez by the new German Military rail
way, now almost finished; from there
to Cairo, and across Africa to Cape
town.
Thus would the two Americas, Asia
Europe and Africa be linked togethel
by a chain Of steel, unbroken in it
whole length, and a through trail
could be sent around the world, ira
versing every continent except one
