PACIFIC COAST
 IS MENAGED BY GERMAN DIVERS
Officials at Washington Are Advised Emperor Has Fleet Ready to
 Bombard Ports
100 EMPHASIZES READY

WASHINGTON, March 13. - Ad. officials have been glY- en to understand that Germany has fleet of approximately 100 battle ship submarines, heavily armed and capable of bombarding seacoast cit les and Qualifications. Information to this effect reached Washington to- day. It is understood that the dis closure was made by Admiral De- Gouey of the French navy in a re- cent secret session of the French Parliament. ,..,> ,c,r
 It Is quite probable, experts say, that these boats would be used along both the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts. The Atlantic coast would be well guarded by the battleship fleet, but the Pacific Coast is practically without protection.
 Submarines of the class named are understood to have a steaming rad jus of lS,OOO miles, and if they have bases on the Mexican coast, west as well as cast, as many believe, they would be able to inflict great dam age.
 The submarine equipment of Ger. many is said to be divided into five classes, the boats ranging from 500 to 5000 tons.

 IS TAKEN UP
France Makes a Demand Upon the Germans for Statement Regarding
 Alleged RepriSaIS.

PARISg March 12-The French gov ernment has summoned Germany to reply favorably without delay to the provisions for reciprocal treatment of prisoners of war made by France
 A semi.Official communication giy en out here denies categorically the German claim that the holling of French prisoners of war in the zone of fire behind the German lines Is in reprisal for similar treatment of German prisoners of war in France The communication puts French fam flies on guard against what 1t calls "maneuver" of the German gov ernment, destined to create anguish and emotion in the public mind for all reprisals.
 The French government, it adds communicated through the American embassy it's desire to arrive at full understanding regarding the treat ment of prisoners in the zone of the armies, but no reply was forthcom ing from Germany. Meanwhile the threatening reprisals were put into execution. Therefore notice is given that Germany must reply.

URGE COAL DEALERS TO
 ORDER SUPPLY NOW

Little Rock, June 27.-"Order Your Coal Today" is the advice that is being given by the Arkansas Railroad Commission The following letter is being sent out:
 "The experience of the past winter, with reference to the shortage of cars and coal. prompts this Commission at this time to issue this warning to the general public.
 Coal has been declared to be pre- ference freight by the special com- mttee of the National Defense of the American Railway Association, which committee is at the present time CO., operating with the government and directing all railway operations with a view to securing efficiency and ser vice during war times.
 "The Arkansas Railroad Commis- sion suggests and urges all retail coal dealers to immediately order their next winters supply of coal, and fur ther suggests that they urge their customers to take direct delivery of whatever coal they will need for next winters use, as in the opinion of this commissiin it will be practically im- possible for the carriers to take care of all orders for coal shipments dur ing the fall and winter months when grain and agricultural products are being moved.
 'In any event, there should be full cooperation between consumers, deal CTS and carriers and the commission again urges immediate action by the coal dealers and the general public so as to prevent serious trouble and suffering which may occur during the coming winter if these suggestions are not acted upon."

NOW WASHINGTON
 WINS COUNTY SEAT
Chapter in Hempsteads Ong-Drawn-Out Courthouse Fight-Judge Has Not En- tered Formal Order.

Hope, June 26.-The long-drawn out courthouse fight in Hampstead county between Hope and Washington was decided today in favor of Washington by Judge W. H. Evans of Benton, sit ting as special judge.
 Thirteen hundred dispositions of voters in DeRoan township were read before the circuit court several weeks ago and arguemnt was set for May p, but on account of the death of Mrs. T. Nj. Mehaffy in Little Rock, wife of one of Hopes attorneys, post poned until June 25. The lawyers be- gan their argument yesterday. This morning Judge Evans reviewed the law and evidence as submitted and rendered a verdict, finding that Hope lacked between 25O and 300 votes of receiving a majority for removal in the election held in 1914 A stay of removal was asked by the Hope at torneys until the courts findings could be reviewed by the Supreme court.
 Judge Evans has not entered a formal order, but will return one in few days from his home in Benton, when this point will be decided. The Hope attorneys have also filed notice of appeal to the Supreme court. It will probably require 90 days to pre- pare the papers necessary, as large volume of evidence and dispositions will have to be prepared.

ZACHRY SAYS WIFE
 SINGS ALL THE TIME
Shes as Bright and Happy as 16-Year-Old Girl, and Has Gained IS Pounds" Says Dairy Farmer.

My wife goes about the house now singing and whistling all the time, and no wonder she-is so happy, for on just three bottles of Tanlac she has gained eighteen (18) pounds and she is like different woman altogether" said J. B. Zachry, the we'll known dairyman of Swords, Ga.
 "Im here to get a bottle to take myself" he continued, flor it's helped her so much I am sure it will be fine spring tonic for me to take.
 My wife suffered with indigestion and stomach trouble for a long time, and was in a general rundown condi- tion. She reached the point where she couldn't hardly sleep at all, and her appetite went down to almost nothing. She couldn't take interest in anything, was very weak and ner- vous and seemed Respondent all the time. She lost good deal in weight and her strength was all getting away from her.
 "This is the very shape she was in when she began taking Tanlac. She has now taken three bottles of the medicine and the indigestion has been relieved entirely She hasn't a pain about her and feels fine in every way. She has been gaining weight and strength ever since she took her first few doses, and weighs eighteen (1S) pounds more today than she did the day she began taking Tanlac. She has the biggest kind of an appetite and eats meats, hot biscuits and anything else she wants and everything agrees with her perfectly. She is no longer nervous nor dizzy and sleeps like a baby. She goes about her housework as happy as sixteen-year-old girl and smiles all the time.
 'I have one hundred cows to look after and my wife is helping me more with my work than she ever has in her life. Tanlac just seems to have filled her with new life, strength and energy, and you don't know how hap py we are over her recovery. It's just marvellous the way it has acted with her, and if anybody wants to know what we think about Tanlac they can just see or write me-"

The Clearwater Republican has il
figured out as follows: IF Idaho is
divided, as we most earnestly hope II
will be, we are for Lewiston for the
state capital. The state normal school
will suffice for some time to come for
state capital building, and the Lew
iston normal can be moved to Moscow,
combining our educational institutions,
as they should be, under one head. This
should be done in the interests of
economy, avoid future discord such as
has retarded the growth of our state
university and other institutions in the
past, and lay sure and sound founda-
ton for future years. The new state
will have an asylum at OrofinO, and
should give Occur d'Alene a school for
feeble minded. That would leave re-
form school to be located somewhere
in the north, probably at Standpoint, or
at some other point where soil condi-
lions are favorable for a good farm.
But we'll not quarrel about these
things. Here's hoping we'll get that
new state

ROAD MOVEMENT is LAUNCHED
Citizens Of Clearwater county in Fa-
vOr of Bonding For Road Work

OROFINO, Feb. 12.-With 100 cit
liens in attednance, representing the
different sections of the county, the
movement for the bonding of Clear
water county for a system of good
roads serving all localities was
launched Saturday with an enthusiasm
which seems to assure beyond all
doubt the carrying out of the import
ant work. The system of roads to be
installed will include the highway
along the Clearwater river that would
be a link in the interstate highway
from Montana to Washington and
known as the Lewis and Clark high
way.
The meeting was held at noon I'M
der the auspices of the Orofino Com
mercial club. The temporary organ
ization was effected by the election of
James Mccain of Gilbert as temporary
chairman and w. E. Cunningham of
Gilbert, temporary secretary.

NEWSPAPER TALK
ABOUT DIVISION
CONTINUED from Page y

of the old is yet undetermined, the
Weiser Signal comments: THE north
mas stood by us and it seems migrate
full for US to fail them when they ask
dividing the state is serious one, and
The question of which subdivision we
should join with is more serious. Our
hearts naturally go out to our friends,
but our people feel that the division
putting Washington county in the new
northern state would place us in a
southern panhandle to the new state
just as the people of the north are
now the panhandle to the present
state. We would then be compelled to
traverse Oregon and Washington to
northern friends now have to traverse
those states to get to Boise. Ours
would then be the only irrigated county
in the new state, and the waters used
would partially come from beyond the
new state boundary. Politically we
would be in a hopeless minority and
would probably have little more inf1u-
ence than we seemingly have at pres
ent, and that is not much. However,
that is small matter compared to the
fact that we are south of the natural
typographical dividing line and would
be in measure a little community to
ourselves whose interests would not be
in common with the timber and mi
ming industries of the north or the
farming of that section.
Payette Independent: 1.-The division
of the state of Idaho is a matter call
ing for the studied thought of the
citizens of the state and should not be
hastily acted upon. 1t is a matter of
such Importance to the people that a
would mean a mighty handicap
in the future development of Idaho
We are not deciding, even for our
selves at this time, whether division |
would be wise thing but only in /
sisting that the move should be ap-
preached with much caution and CIV
en- the most candid consideration,
viewed from every possible stand
point"

NO POLITICS IN
DIVISION PLAN

G. P. Mix returned from Boise Sat
urday evening where he spent sew
eral days on business in behalf of the
Idaho National Harvester and lending
his efforts toward the formation of the
new state of Jefferson
In an interview with a Star Mirror
reporter, Mr.. Mix stated today that
the northern delegations, irrespective
of party affiliations, are solidly be-
hind the resolution to form a new
state; that the move to divide the state
is based wholly upon economic condi-
tons and the movement is entirely
free from political issues; that the
leaders of both parties in the house
and senate are favorable to the move
ment; and that safe majority in the
senate have agreed to vote for it. While
in the house the majority is less, it
is believed there will be sufficient
votes to carry the resolution.

Senator M. E. Lewis, and Represent

atives F. c. MCGOWAN, o. Bohman and
A. S. Anderson, he reported, are work
ing hard, and Latah's interests are be-
ing we'll taken care of. Senator Lewis
he states, is considered one of the
strong men of the senate, and Repre-
sentative MCGOWAN as minority floor
leader is also making good He says
the whole delegation have thrown
partizan politics to one side and are
lending their efforts to all progress
sive legislation.
Mr.. Mix had the pleasure of at
tending the final joint meeting of the
finance committees of the house and
senate at which the appropriation bill
for the educational institutions of the
state was agreed upon for introduce
ton into the house. Senator Steven
son of Shoshone county is chairman
of the senate committee and Repre-
sentative Hitchcock of Bonner, is
chairman of the house committee
Senator Grant of Clearwater and
Senator Curtis of Ada are also mem
bers of the senate committee. Sen
ator Grant is well and favorabIy
known in Latah county and is a friend
of the university. Senator Curtis is a
graduate of the university and has
many friends here He is one of the

few students who won Rhodes sohoI-
arship.
Mr.. Mix states that, from the dis
cussion, both committees appeared to
be of the one opinion that the educa-
tional institutions of the state should
be literally supported, and that they
would have granted the full
amount asked by the several institu-
tons but found themselves unable to
do so on account of the call for money
from many sources, especially for
state highway purposes. All seemed
to be satisfied with the recommends
lions of the committees. Mr. Mix be-
lieyes the appropriation bill as in
troduced will go through the house and
be signed by Governor Alexander
without material change.
