INFAMOUS LIES
GOING AROUND
RELIEF IS NOW THE
VICTIM OF PROPAGANDA
OF FALSEHOOD
WHAT PRESIDENT SAYS
GOOD WORK UNDER WAY IN MOS
cow TO HELP STARVING
PEOPLE

There is not an effort put forth for
any patriotic purpose but what some
secret enemy endeavors to poison the
public mind with lies regarding it.
The latest is an effort to discredit
the Armenian Relief Fund by state
ment that there is no suffering in
Armenia and that the money is not
needed, and further an attempt has
been made to associate the activities of
the fund with the personal work of a
certain obscure Armenian priest who
was in Moscow some weeks ago trying
to raise money for some particular
charity.
AS regards the first, the testimony
of President Wilson should suffice
The president issued his appeal to the
American people in October of this
year:
Appeal to American People
American diplomatic and consular
representatives and other American |
residents recently returned from
western Asia, assures me that |
many thousands of lives were saved |
from starvation by the gifts of the
American people last winter. They
also bring full assurance of the con-
Linued effective distribution of relief
and report that the suffering and
death from exposure and starvation
will inevitably be very much greater
his winter than last unless thf Ir-
7ivors can be helped by furtheE con
ributions from America
Reports indicate that of orphans
llone there are more than 100000, be-
ides women and other dependent chill
lren, reaching a total of more than
100000 destitute survivors. The sit
Iation is so distressing as to make
pecial appeal to the sympathies of
ii.
"In view of the urgent need I call
gain upon the people of the United
tates to make such further conrtibu-
ions as they feel disposed, in their
ympathy and generosity for the aid
f these suffering peoples"
AS RECORDS the second, the commit
,e wishes to state quite clearly that
le obscure Armenian Cor whatever he n
as) in question is entirely unknown S
, them and that the funds passing v
trough their hands have no connec- il
on whatever with any private, or a
lurch, or missionary project. W

Idaho's prohibition law, acknow-
| lodged to be the most stringent in the
United States, has been held to be con-
stitutional by the supreme court of
the United States. The decision of the
court was handed down Monday in
Washington. The personal issue"
was thrown out and the case decided
wholly on the constitutionality of the
Idaho law. This decision was on the
now famous Ed Crane case.
Crane was arrested in Moscow on
criminal complaint sworn to by Grant
Robbins, chief of police, charged with
having quart bottle of whisky in his
room in the Hotel Moscow He was
given a preliminary hearing before
Judge Will R. Morgareidge in the pro-
bate court and bound over to the dis
trict court for Latah county
Asked Habeas Corpus Writ
Before the case came to trial in the
district court writ of habeas corpus
was obtained from the state supreme
oo,,r+ T+ woo ooptopdod bv Crono and
his attorneys, J. H. Forney and A. H.
Oversmith, that if he had the liquor
in his possession, he had that right |
under the law, and it was maintained
that it was for his own use and benefit |
and not to sell or give away. No evil
1ence was produced to show that he |
had tried to sell or give away any
part of the liquor.
Cranes release was asked for the
eason that the liquor in his possession
vas for his own use, and that the leg
stature of the statae had no right to
leclare that the mere possession of
whisky was a criminal offense, unless
lie had it to sell or give away or reach
he public in some other way. 1t was
Irged that Cranes rights in the prem
ses were guaranteed by the constitu-
ion of the United States, and that
hese rights could not be abridged by
he laws of any state.
Supreme Court Uph0lds Law :
The supreme court of the state held i.
dversely to Crane. 1t upheld the con- !
of senate bill No. so, the :
tate law under which the action was ;,
lstiituted. A writ of error was taken :,
, the supreme court of the United :
tates. In the meantime Crane is
ominally in the custody of the sheriff

ent of the probate Judge. /

Real Field of Battle

The national association expects to
raise within the next 10 days the war
work found of S3,500,000, and present
indications are that Moscow will have
the credit of having raised its quota.
The money used in this way is the
only fund available in the world for
stamping out tuberculosis in France
where our soldiers are already billeted
in homes in which not single attempt
has yet been made to deal with this
disease.
Although any citizen is free to give
any sum he may choose to this great
work, the smallest contribution of
one cent is not to be despised; and
every person who buys even single
seal is not belittling but rather hon
oring himself and his country.
