THE STATE OF IDAHO AT WAR
Big Dam Protected

The Arrowrock dam, one of the
highest In the world, located twenty
two miles above Boise, and behind
which is stored water for the irriga-
ton of lands in the Boise valley, is
amply protected by guards, the state
council has ascertained on investiga-
ton. No suspicious characters are
allowed near the dam, day or night.
Disloyalty Investigated
Numerous charges of disloyalty,
some apparently we'll founded,
others built upon erroneous reports
and rumors, have been carefully in
vestigated by the state council in
all parts of Idaho. In several in
stances, the parties whose names
were mentioned have been cited to
appear before the council and answer
the charges. That the council pro-
poses to stamp out disloyalty among
those who favor the enemy of their
country, rather than the country
that is protecting and giving them
a home, is evident. When once a
charge is established beyond ques-
ton of doubt, the proper officials
will be asked to step in and prose-
cute.
Banks Back Council
The banks of the state are loyalty
coming to the aid of the state coun-
Gil. Early in its work the council
was handicapped because it was
without funds with which to carry
it on, there being no legislative ap-
preparation available. When the
council reorganized it decided to A.
:. nance itself by the issuance Of GER
tificates Of Indebtedness to the ex-
tent of $4,000. The banks were
asked to carry these certificates un-
til the legislature could meet to re-
deem them with interest. This the
banks agreed to do, with the result
that Indebtedness contracted by the
council is paid, the banks cashing
the certificates issued.
Idaho Defense League
The Idaho Defense League of Ada
county has been organized with John
F. Nugent as president, B. w. OPP
penheim secretary and R. F. McAfee
treasurer. The object of the league
is to aid in enforcement of the laws
of the United States and of the state
of Idaho; to promote loyalty and
justice; to quicken the spirit of pa
triotism; to put. down sedition; to
assist in bringing traitors to justice;
and to render any possible aid to the
government of the United States in
the world war.
To Move Fruit Crop
A joint conference between the
executive committee of the state
council of defense, the public utili-
ties commission and the state horti-
cultural inspector, together with
shippers, to arrive at some solution
by which cars could be provided to
move the early apple crop in south
western Idaho, resulted in assur-
ances being given those at the con-
ference by officials of the Oregon
Short Line railroad that cars to
move the fruit would be delivered
prior to December 1.
It is estimated there were 1875
cars of Jonathan and other early

PLEA TO THE
WOMEN OF AMERICA

Women of America, your country
is at war against the worlds might
lest military power.
We entered 1t when all the nations
holding Germany at bay were throw
ing in their man-power and money
power, spending their millions to end
this war by winning 1t. And still
Germany was not defeated.
We entered 1t when, with their
farm folks in the trenches, the fields
uf our allies were being plowed and
sown by the women. But there were
not enough, thru they worked from
dawn till dark.
Those crops have been painfully
small. The usual outside sources of
supply have been cut off and our al
lies must depend on us. The women
will work and the soldiers will fight
to the death, but against hunger
they are helpless.
.eruany knows. She has said
that if she can only starve England
she will win.
If our allies have to yield to Ger
many because of hunger, America
alone will have to shoulder the bur-
den of winning the world war.
And so to save our allies and their
liberty and our own, we have pledged
our youth, our wealth, our all.
But we are not prepared to throw
millions of soldiers into the field at
once. Our money can not buy bread
and meat in Europe for our allies.
There is little there to buy.
We must give them food-real
food! They need wheat, meat, can
ned foods, fats. And tho thousands
of tons of it will be sunk by subma-
rines, still we must ship, ship, ship,
until we have saved democracy with
food.
But how can we do this and feed
ourselves when we must send our al
lies 220,000,000 bushels of wheat
this year, instead of the usual 49,
100000 bushels; when we are al
ready sending them three times as
much meat as we have sent them
before? Moreover, corn meal, Of
which we have more than enough,
can't readily be shipped to Europe
now because it spoils.
Women of America, even as the
women of France are guarding the
fields day and night, your country
calls to you to stand guard over the
worlds commissary. That commits
sary is the food supply of America.
There is enough in it If you will
guard it.
Your task in this war is to guard
food for the soldiers and home work
ers of our allies. They are fighting
for you!
You can release shiploads of
wheat for these fighters and workers
by using less wheat -four in your
homes and by using more corn meal,
by wasting not crust or crumb of
wheat bread.
BY eating less beef, mutton, and
pork, and by eating more fresh and
preserved or dried vegetables and
fish, our supply of meat animals will
do for us and our allies.
Likewise you are needed to stand
guard and see that there is no waste
in the worlds supply of fats, sugar,
and milk in your homes. They are
becoming scarcer. AS they do, then
we ourselves and our brothers on the
firing lines and our sisters in the
fields and munition factories will
suffer.
Three times day-at each meal
think of Americas glorious privi-
lege: To feed the world while it
fights it's way to freedom. Then re-
member that you are standing guard,
that the opportunity to win this war
for humanity is yours.

Praised by British

| w
casualties had not been established
in headquarters reports up to today
The whole British army, however
was ringing with praise of their first
class fighting ability.
Ever since the beginning of Byng's
thrust the army engineers Of the
American forces have been building
and operating strategic railways
close up to the German lines.
Most of them got their first bap-
tism of fire in Crown Prince Rupp-
recht's counter surprise blow. They
liked it and went into the fighting
with enthusiasm.
Like many of the British gunners
the American engineers saw the Ger
mans "close up before they realized
what was happening.
Day Full of Thrills
One lanky Tenneseean got day
full of thrills.
ST was standing beside my en-
gine," he said today, when shrapnel
beguan raining all around me.
didn't have any tin helmet, so l
gra bbed a petrol tank. figured that
was better than nothing.
"Well, sub, those Prussians kept
a-coming. | hustled back and Owed
into a shell hole. Pretty soon l
looked up-and the Boches were all
around me. They went to work and
blew up the railway tracks but they
left the engine. l sneaked from the
shell hole until / finally found some
Tommies. Then l grabbed rifle"
The ,Tennsesseean didn't tell the
rest of the story, but some Of those
who saw him in action turnout the
day brought it back joyfully to head
quarters today. The southerner en-
loved himself immensely and he
must have caused lot of pain over
among the Boches.
When he and his fighting brothers
of the British finally rescued the
Tenneseean's beloved engine, the
Tommies said the American was
tickled as if he'd done all the res
cuing himself.
Engineers Experience
A st. Louis engineer soldier look
ed up from his work suddenly to see
the Germans coming over a hill
straight toward his engine. He ran
200 yards and fiooped into shell
hole. From there he watched the
enemy dynamite the track and at
tempt to smash the engine by artil-
lery fire. Their shells fell on either
side of the locomotive, but lickily
missed it. The St. Louisan worked
his way to the British lines, found
himself rife, grabbed some am
munition and went to it hot and
heavy.
At least three New Workers of the
same engineer detachment had an
Identical series of experiences.
The American doctors were mostly
at base hospitals close by the firing
line. They were under fire but stuck
to their jobs.

AMERICANS IN BATTLE

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
Americans did their bit to aid Byng's
Tommies in pushing back around
Cambria Germany's most formidable
assault since Verdun.
They weren't enlisted to fight.
They fere engineers and doctors.
The engineers got caught in the
malestrom of struggling lines and
some were cut off by the Germans.
Then a good many of them rolled
ND their sleeves and went into the
fight. They borrowed rifles and
fought like bear-cats shoulder to
shoulder with the British.
The American doctors stuck to
their jobs of helping the wounded
under fire.
