KAISER WAS THE VICTOR
WHEN AMERICA ENTERED WAR
This is the Conviction of William T..
Foster, President of Reed College,
Just Home From Europe

| PORTLAND, Ore.-If it had not
been for the United States entering the
war, the great conflict would be over
[now.
! Peace would have been declared
but Germany would have been the vic
tor
That today was the declaration of
William T. Foster, president of Reed
College here, who has returned after
summer spent in Europe as a Red
Cross official.
The entente allies were at the point
of defeat when America swung into
line as a champion of civilization and
democracy. The United States inspir-
ed the allies to new hopes and Amer
lean money and supplies enabled the
allies to continue the conflict until
American men on the battle1ine can
take more active part in the strug-
gle.
America must win, Foster declared.
Kaiserism, in the name Of humanity
and democracy, must not be allowed
to live.

GENERAL PERSHING MAY
NAME AMERICAN BATTALIONS

WASHINGTON-S of War
Baker today said he'd leave to General
Pershing the question of giving Amer
lean fighting units in France distinc-
tive names Baker was asked whether
he favored naming all units after the
manner of the "Clemenceau Battalion"
so named by General Sibert in honor
of the well-known French statesman.
Sibert gave the unit this name after
Clemenceau had reviewed the troops.
His action has started a movement to
name all the American units. If
Pershing approves, this probably will
be done The war department will
leave it to him.
General Pershing can work that
out" said Baker. IF he thinks it
will increase the fighting morale of
his men, no doubt he will have them
named"
The idea back of the movement is
that men of regiment with a distinc-
tive name will go to greater lengths
to win laurels for their unit, and do
more to keep that name untarnished,
than men who are mere cogs in
numbered unit with nothing but its
to distinguish it from other
units.

UNDER NEW FEDERAL LAW
County Clerk Estes Has Additional
Work and Responsibility Placed
ON His Shoulders

County Auditor Homer E. Estes is
having honors heaped upon him right
along these days by the federal gov
ernment. Now he is notified from
Washington that he is to issue licenses
to all purchasers of explosives. This
is under the new law just enacted by
congress and which takes effect No
vember Is. Every vendor, purchaser
or foreman using explosives must have
a license The Potlatch Lumber COM
pany, the miners in the Hoodoo dis
trict and farmers clearing off logs
use large quantities of explosives so
that the issuance OF licenses places
much extra labor and responsibility on
the county clerk.

A|RSH|PS RAID
LONDON AGAIN
GERMANS LAUNCH THEIR GREAT
EST OVERHEAD OFFENSIVE IN
THE NIGHT

LONDON-Germany last night con-
ducted the greatest air raid over Lon
don thus far attempted. Seven squads
of German machines followed a sys-
tematic course up the Thames river.
British anti-aircraft guns and 80 Brit
ish machines gave battle. The roar of
shells was continuous and ear-splitt-
ing. Several German machines pen
etrated the heart of London Clouds
hindered the defense forces. The Brit
ish losses are reported unusually light
considering the nature of the attack.
A later report this afternoon places
the dead from the raid at eight, the
injured at 21 and the property dam
age slight.

UNCLE SAM HAS WORK
FOR MANY IDAHO MEN

BOISE-Herbert Hoover has called
upon R. F. Bicknell, federal food ad-
ministrator for Idaho, for the names
of Idaho's men who are more or less
out of active business whose services
the United States administration may
call upon from time to time for tenn
porary work at Washington, D. c., or
for work on national comittees. Among
such men should be representative
lawyers, bankers, merchants and engi-
neers who upon short notice will be
able to devote considerable time to
voluntary national service. Mr. Bick-
nell asks that such men communicate
their names to him at Boise giving an
idea Of their capability.

DRASTIC MEASURES
TAKEN BY RUSSIA
PLANS TO PUT STRAIGHT JACKETS
ON FINLAND AND
UKRANIA

PETROGRAD-Th provisional gov
ernment of Russia has put Finland un-
der the jurisdiction of the northern
battle front because of the refusal
of the Finnish authorities to cooper
ate in the evacuation of certain points.
This move is probably almost equival-
ent to declaration of martial law.
The government also withdrew its fin
ancial support from Ukrania because
of the growth there of the autonomy
1t is stated that more Wig
orous measures are planned for both
Finland and Ukrania.

IDAHO GR|D|STS
LABOR HARDFOR
PULLMAN GAME
UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATES
FIRED WITH ABUNDANT PRE-
CONTEST ENTHUSIASM
BIG RALLY TOMORROW
BLEAMASTER'S MEN PRAISED FOR
FIGHTING SPIRIT BY OREGON
GAME REFEREE

Taking advantage of the full moon
Coach W. c. B1eamster kept his uni
versity gridists hard at work on a
stiff signal drill yesterday evening
until more than half an hour after the
sun had set The moons rays provided
just sufficient light to permit of run
ming play off the tackles and around
the ends.
Warren Barber, the scrappy guard
who fought through the entire Oregon
Aggies' contest but was unable to
make the trip to Eugene because of a
badly injured knee, appeared in a
suit last night. There is a possibility
that he will be inserted to participate
in at least a part of Saturdays strug-
gle.
Undergraduate enthusiasm, which
broke forth several times early in the
week in the form of impromptu raj
lies, will attain it's climatic pitch to-
morrow night. The entire student
crowd will gather at the gymnasium
for speeches to be made by President
Lindley, Coaches Bleamaster and Ed
mundson, Captain Tom Jackson, "Bill'
Lee and Cap Horton before starting
a serpentine through the city's streets.
The freshmen were excused from
opportunity to gather wood for the
conventional bonfire which is made
feature of every Pullman rally. 1t is
understood that the pile" will be of
more modest proportions than have
been those of previous years.
The battling spirit that the Idaho
eleven may be counted on to show
against Pullman was omnipresent in
last Saturdays contest with the Uni
versity of Oregon, even though Bez-
decks warriors romped away with the
long end of the score.
The following is an illuminating bit
of commentary from a letter sent to
Coach Bleamaster by Samuel M. P.
Dolan of O. A. c., who refereed the |
Eugene game: You are to be con- |
graduated upon the fight you have
put into your team. 1t is one Of the |
best fighting teams I ever saw. They |
outplayed Oregon all the way through, |
had all the breaks go against them ,
and still fought to the last whistle.
You don't see that happen often. It's
no disgrace to lose that sort of a
game
The coach called the members of his
first string squad together for pre-
game conference last night. He has
announced that a definite lineup
will not be made public until few
minutes before the referees whistle
calls the two teams onto the field.

CLERKS IN WASHINGTON
ENJOY WAR PROSPERITY
New Bureaus and Boards Make Ire
mend0us Demand for Help and Rob
Some of the Departments

WASHINGTON-A merry war is on
among government department heads
for labor So flagrant has become the
rival bidding for employees to man
the many new bureaus that the puzzled
executives are making aggriexed- pro-
tests to congress.
The government clerks, some of
whom haven't had raise in pay since
Polk's administration, are feeling a
bit of war prosperity.
"They are fairly robbing mel" de-
clared Secretary Redfield, referring to
the new shipping board. He said they
were taking all his experts who have
done their exporting heretofore for
$1,000 a year, and starting them out at
from $4,000 to $4,000. His commerce
department, he declared, was being
ruinously disorganized.
Stricter rules are in force against
transfers of civil service employees
from one department to another. But
the men simply quit, and soon get an
other job with another department
head who rarely proves particularly
inquisitive as to their past if they
can do the work.
Before the war, Washington was
strictly a law-wage town. Congress
men found more votes were gained by
spending appropriations in their dis
tricts back home than in raising Clerk
Bill Jones pay from $3.50 to $500
year.

WASHINGTON - First Lieutenant
Deverie Harden, one of the signal Of

erican expeditionary forces in France,
suffered a moderate schrapnel wound
on his lower left leg October 2S.
General Pershing cabled this informa-
ton to the war department. Lieuten-
ant Harden is probably the officer re-
ported wounded in the United Press

report continues:
'"The equipment for any medical care
was extremely meager ;one old hos

aged civilian doctor left without drugs
or means of getting them, villages to
look after besides his army duties.
Twas an acute situation.

"The chiIdren's bureau began work

mobile as travelling dispensary, with
shower baths. The car visits the vii

PROSPECTS OF GOOD
TRADE IN RUSSIA
But Businessmen Should Study
the Subject Thoroughly

Stockholm, Jan. 19.-More and
more the American business men ap-
pear to be investigating commercial
possibilities in Russia, The Associated
Press learns. Every steamer from
America brings steadily increasing
numbers of them, and Americans are
continually streaming in from Petro-
grad and Moscow with their pockets
filled with contracts or the proceeds Of
sales.
There is, however, a very consider
able number who either go no farther
than Stockholm or who reach their
aims only after many weeks of weary
waiting here. These are the men who
neglected before shipping their goods
to inform themselves Of the conditions
to be met, of routes, Of things essen
tial to the sale and delivery of goods
in Russia.
A typical case is that of the repre-
sentative of certain automobile firms
in America, who came to Stockholm
with some motor trucks intended for
Russia, despite the fact that 1T is
nearly two years since the Swedish
Parliaent enacted a law refusing
transit to motor vehicles in any and
all circumstances. This law, enacted
on January 9, 1915. prohibits abso-
lutely and unqpalifiedly the transit
through Sweden to Russia of arms or
parts thereof, ammunition. war ma
