Military deserters from belligerent
nations surrounding Switzerland over
run the country. Their presence con-
stitutes growing embarrassment to
the government and proposals have
been advanced to round them up in
an internment camp.
Alarmed by such reports, the de-
serters have been inseting advertise
ments in Swiss newspapers, calling
upon all comrade slackers to form an
international organization" The or
ganizating committee consists of Ger

When the Lasansky family returned,
however, they found the apartment

ware valued at $1,000 had been stolen.

WOULD INVEST
TRUST FUND IN
LIBERTY BONDS
FORMER GOVERNOR WOULD TAKE
SURPLUS FROM BANKS FOR
PERMANENT INVESTMENT

Former Governor w. ]. Mcconnell
in a communication just sent to Gov
ernor Alexander suggests that the
irreducible trust funds of the state
be taken from the banks where they
are now drawing 81 per cent inter
est and invested in Liberty Bonds tc
draw 4 per cent The letter that is
well worthy of consideration is as
follows:
! My Dear Governor:
am glad to note in the public
! press that you are taking an active
part in the campaign for the sale of
| the Liberty bonds now being offered
by our government, and l desire to as
sure you that l in common with every
citizen of Idaho feel grateful to you
for your efforts in behalf of such SALE
We must win the war in which we
are now engaged or otherwise submit
to the exactions of cruel and re-
lentless foe: liable to similar oppres-
sion as is being imposed upon Bel
GUM: our cities bombarded and de-
stroyed, our banks looted, our homes
and families violated. We have cross
ed the Rubicon there is no such al
tentative as turning back: we must
conquer or be conquered. All we hold
dear is in the balance; we cannot, will
not hesitate to support President
Wilson in this hour of great RESPONSE
bility; will not hesitate to loan both
moral and financial support to our
boys who will soon occupy the
trenches fighting that our nation may
live prosperous and honored in the
future as in the past.
The money we invest in bonds will
hasten the successful conclusion of
the war; will hasten return of our
boys, will add to their comfort and
safety. Each of us as individuals
should invest every dollar we can
spare in these bonds, and while real
izing as we must that the foregoing
Is true, anu WHlle eacn lHulVluudl Is
doing his or her duty in this manner
ew should also as a state do our part
not only in furnishing men but in con-
tributing the wherewith in cash to
equip and maintain them. The state
of Idaho has accumulated large fund
from the sale of lands donated to us
by a generous government: Why not |
loan such a part of this fund as is
available to the United States by in
vesting it in Liberty Bonds? Other
states possessed of similar funds |
