BELGIAN RELIEF IS
TO Be COLLECTED
Committee VIII Visit People TOmOr-
row in Behalf of Suffering People.
Omitted Press)

The people of Twin Falls will be
offered another opportunity tomorrow
to assist the suffering in Belgium,
whose condition has become worse
through the severing OF diplomatic
relations with Germany, as Antonio
Guibert and E. L. Macvicar will can
vass the city tomorrow in behalf Of
e fund for Belgium relief.
The literature sent out by the Bel
gian relief committee tells a heart
rendering tale of the manner in
which little children are becoming
emaciated through lack of sufficient
nourishment, and are contracting dis
eases like ricketts, that come from
failure to receive proper food. The
United States, while early in the field
and doing a great work through its
relief agencies has contributed less
per capita to alleviate conditions than
any great nation engaged in the allied
cause. This is the time of year when
help is most needed as the supplies
are always low at this season and
the crop of next summer is yet to
come. 1t is assumed by the friends
of the Belgian that everyone who can
will do something.
The subscription was started by
800 from ]. M. Maxwell, $3.50 from
the Scottish Rite Masons, and $2s
each from Messrs Guibert and Mac
vicar. The committee will devote to.
morrow to collections and will not
make a second trip, so they expect
all to be ready to do what may be
possible when the visit is made.
The following authority to act il
behalf of the relief commission has
been received by Mr.. Guibert:

"The undersigned consul of Bel
gium and chairman of the COMMITTEES

NAVAL MEN PLEASED
WITH TH|ER LEADER
Vice Admiral Mayo Born Fighter Has
Absolute Power in Handling the
American Fleets.

WASHINGTON, April 1O-Vice-Ad
miral Henry T. Mayo, commander in
chief of the Atlantic fleet, is of the
old school of American sea fighters.
He is an officer after the American
heart
1t was Admiral Mayo who, upon his
own responsibility, demanded that the
Mexican government salute the Am
erican flag when American marines
were arrested and paraded through
the streets of Tampico in the heat of
the Mexican embroglio. Mayo acted
as he thought right and asked for
authority from Washington after
wards-and he got it with the full
backing of the Navy department
Mayo was the first vice-admiral
appointed under the provisions of the
1915 naval bill. His authority in
handling the fleet is virtually abso-
lutte. The naval department in choos-
ing him for this heavy responsibility
is said by naval men to have known
the man it was picking.
The admiral entered the naval
academy in 1856, a gangling, Green
Mountain lad, from Burlington, Yer
mont.

MEATLESS DAYS ARE
ADVISED BY ARMOUR
Noted Packer Says United States May
Be Short of Food as Europe Inside
Of Year.
Cunited Press.N

CHICAGO, April 10 'Unless the
United States takes immediate steps to-
ward complete government control of
food and provides for meatless days,
the country win be as short of provi-
sions as any nation in Europe before
the end of the year. said J. Ogden
Armour, the noted packer, today. He
advocates the plan of a guarantee of a
dollar and a half a bushel to farmers
for wheat to induce them to increase
the acreage of their crops, meatless
days, and the government supervision
of fertilizer prices, strict household
economy and the cultivation of every
available acre. fFood manufacturers
can easily double their output he de-
clared, "but the people are not awake
to the deadly seriousness of the situa-
tion which they are facing.'

LOCAL ORGANIZATION OF
MILITARY SUGGESTED
Plan to Organize Home Guards to
Help Enlistment and to Protect
Property.

A movement is under way to take
preliminary steps here for the train
ing OF all eligible men of military
age who desire to join a company of
local auxiliary guards. The intention
is to whip them into shape so that if
needed they will have the rudiments
of military training. Homer Locklin
has taken the matter up with Adult
ant General c. s. Moody and has re-
ceived an encouraging letter. Under
circumstances of this kind the usual
custom is for the state to furnish OBJ
solete weapons for the training.
There are about fifteen men with
military training here who cannot
join the regular service now on ac-
count of physical or marital impedi-
ments who could help drill the eligi-
BILE men, and who would gladly go to
the front themselves should the gov
ernment relax some of it's restric-
tions.
In addition it has been proposed
that those not eligible be organized
for purely defensive purposes, so as
to include all patriotic citizens bar
red from service by reason of non
military age or of physical disabil-
ity who may be willing to assist in
an emergency in protecting property
against conspirators. Almost any
weapon capable of doing execution
would be satisfactory for members
OF such purely local organizations.
The people here are pondering the
suggestion that everyone do a bit foI
the national cause and "do it now
and the sentiment in favor of acting
on the suggestion promptly. The
people are in a mood to follow the
example OF the physicians who ar,
headed by DR.. II. w Wilson, as chair
man and DR.. c. A. Leigh, secretary
and all of whom are in line for an,
sort OF service needed

A SINGLE VOTE WOULD TURN
THE SCALE
Socialists Get Busy While Certain
Citizens Issue Call for COnven-
ton at The CotiIIion Hall Wednes-
day Night.

"They re off, The Times voting
contest for mayoralty nominees has
opened, starting the very day that the
straw vote battle was announced, and
from that time to the present it has
been neck and neck race between
the leading candidates, Arthur L. Swim
and f. r. Bracken. Unless something
comes to break the deadlock the voters
may find themselves in the position of
the hungry donkey who equidistant be-
tween two equally desirable stacks of
succulent hay, died of starvation be-
cause he couldn' t make up his mind
which way to turn. Each of these cit
izens has one vote to his credit and
should a third voter express a prefer
ence one way or another it would be in
the nature of a landslide for the man
thus favored, showing that popular sem
timent was drifting at a two to one
ratio for the popular favorite.
The. fact is that in no place has
" war s wild desolation' been more in
evidence than in the field of municipal
politics. 1t has been proposed by some
that the Commercial club call a meet
ing of citizens some time this week to
get out ticket and try to harmonize
things. Of course, citizens who would
be dissatisfied with such ticket, if there
were any such, could put out a rival
ticket, and the fur might fly for few
days, but in any event, it was pointed
out that such move would recall at
tention to municipal politics. What
ever may become of this proposition,
certain citizens have called a conven-
tion for Cotillion hall tomorrow nigh
The Socialists are also busy and it is
understood expect to put out q ticket
so that the idea of lining up on any
one set of men seems less feasible than
it did.
