10 NATIONS FIGHTING GERMANY.
Three-fourthS Of the Worlds Populs-
ton Arrayed Against Teutons.

More than three-fourths OF the
worlds population lives in the 19
countries at war with Germany or
her allies, according to compilations
from government sources.
The persons living within the cen
trail countries are outnumbered
more than seven times by anti-Ger-
manic populations, and the proper
ton is swelled even higher if con-
sideration is taken of the popula-
ton of the ten countries which have
broken relations with the central
powers. Germany's enemies now in
clude nearly all the white and yellow
races, and the physical resources OF
about half the worlds are mobi-
-lized against the forces of Germany
Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Tur-
key.
For these reasons observers here
are watching intently the play of in
fiuence within the few remaining neu-
trails, including Spain, Netherlands,
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzer-
land and in America, Argentina, Ven
ezuela, Paraguay, Colombia, Ecuador,
Salvador and Mexico.
Similarly, unusual interest is felt
here in the future course of the ma
tions which have broken relations
with Germany or her allies. These
are Bolivia, Costa Rica, Guatemala,
Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua. Peru,
Uruguay and San Domingo.
1t is pointed out here that OF the
worlds total population of 1891
100000 about 1,342.0O0, 1000 live un-
der flags of the. central powers open
enemies in the war. About 100000
900 inhabit the countries which have
broken relations. and 132,O00,OO0
are neutral, while the population OF
Germany and her allies is about
1T, 100000.
OF the worlds total area of 1000
900 square miles, 27,0OO,OOG are
under anti-German domination. while
the Germanic allies control only
100000.
State department records SHOW
the following nations at war with
Germany or her allies: United States,
Great Britain, France, Russia, Servia,
Japan, Belgium, Italy, Portugal Rou-
mania, Greece, Montenegro, San Ma
rino, China, Cuba, Panama, Siam. L.
IBERIA and Brazil.
The alignment of these nations is
shown by the formal declarations OF
war made since Austria precipitated
the world strife on July 2S, 1914. by
declaring war on Servia. These decla-
rations are as follows:
Austria against Belgium. Monte
negro, Russia and Servia: Bulgaria
against Servia; China against Austria
and Germany; France against Aus
tria, Bulgaria and Germany: Ger
many against France, Portugal and
Russia; Great Britain against Bu!-
garia, Austria, Germany and Turkey;
Greece against Germany; Italy
against Austria, Bulgaria and Ger
many; Japan against Germany;
Liberia against Germany; Monte
negro against Austria; Panama
against Germany; Roumania against
Austria; Servia against Turkey;
Turkey against ali the entente ma
tions, November 90, 1914, and later
against Roumania; United States

many.

Geese Saved British Forces.

This is the story Of how the Geese
Of Kale-Zir gave the warning and
saved a British detachment.
When the Bulgars left their native
Businesses and came down into the
plains. their advance was halted by
q certain famous river and historic
lake. A British company was hold
ing the Upper Lake, for it was dl-
yided into two parts connected by
the river. The company was chars-
ed with responsibility for the upper
lake and five miles of the connecting
stream as far as kale-Zir. They had
absolute command of the lake, thanks
to the motorboats, and a crossing
there was inconceivable, but the river
flowed through a maze of reeds and
swamps and forest most parts of
which appeared absolutely impen-
etrable from the British side. A feel
ing of comparative safety prevaded
the British camp.
Then one evening the orderly Of
ficer set out from the camp on his
bicycle to visit two outposts up the
river nearly two miles from the camp.
1t was nearly dark. AS he neared the
sentry. he heard the movement OF
wings, and distinguished flock after
flock of ducks flying from their night
rest among the reeds.
Looks odd" he remarked to the
sentry. Then to sergeant. III take
one man, sergeant, and we'll cycle
down the path and have look
The path ran a quarter of a mile
along the marsh and then died an
abrupt death in sitting fence OF
reeds. The officer and his orderly
dismounted and listened. They could
discern over in the swamp a long
line of men in single Tile.
Back at the picket post the order
is sent a nan to warn the camp,
while he remained behind to keep
the enemy raiders under observation.
The raiders were two hundred
strong. under command of German
officer. They kept to the path until
Just before it came into clearing.
Then they halted and prepared to at
tack. They got into a loose sort OF
oper order and came on quickly. At
that moment the British officer fired
four shots. Immediately light over
the British camp appeared. The glare
was dazzling. There was moments
silence and then a roar of fire. It
vas complete surprise. The raiders
we're punched close, and must have
had fifty casualties in the first fusi-
lade. They made no attempt to re-
sist, but flung everything away and
made for the maize fields.

the beef at the average mans table. y

to the enactment of a compulsory

measure. The objectors based their

his organization are no bettere BIZ

sire that you publish little article

expect to speak through the New Free
dom because they would not publish
anything in denunciation of the party
organization and it is my wish that
make apology to progressive democrats
for my past writings in favor of an
organization that has betrayed princi-
pie and Knocked its voters. 1t Is always
the part of wisdom for a publicist to
make exhaustive investigation into
the character of men that he supports
with his pen. ] failed to do this and
took demagogues at face value, be-

INCOME TAX IS BASED
ON EARNINGS OF 1917
TO MAKE STATEMENTS AFTER
FIRST OF YEAR-WiLl PRO-
VIDE THE BLANKS.

With dozens of inquiries being re-
|ceived in regard to the duties of in
come taxpayers under provisions OF
the new war revenue law, sClinton H..
Moore, deputy collector of internal
revenues, has given detailed ex-
PLANTATION of just what is necessary to
obey the law.
The income taxes will not bother
ANYONE before January /, 1918, accord
ing to Collector Moore. Because Of
this, he declares that they should ere
ate no worries In the minds of the
persons who come under its provisions
until that time.
Beginning Oh January /, according
to Collector Moore blanks will be dis
tributed to all taxpayers, and those
who fail to receive them will be given
them provided they call az the revenue
office These blanks must be filled out
in detail with the statements giving
the persons income during the year of
1917 and returned to the local revenue
office by March l, 1918.
After the statements are filed and
approved by the revenue collectors,
statements will be sent to the taxpay-
ers announcing the amount Of taxes
due on sthe accounts. These taxes. as
has been the usual custom, are pay
able in the month of June
LAS far as the new revenue law is
concerned, its provisions merely lower
the amount of exemption allowed sim
gle and married men, and increase the
tax" Collector Moore said These
are the only differences and the rev.
enue law should not be so confusing
to the people WHO expect to pay in
comes. Under the new law a single
man will be exempted for only $1,000
instead of $4,000 as formerly and a
married man must pay income taxes
on all earnings in excess of $4,000, in
stead of $4,000 as previously was the
case. The rates also are to be adj
vaneed, and get heavier in proportion
to the increase of earnings

advanced the cause of the initia-
tive, referendum and recall and other
reforms in good faith, and, presuming
that enlightened self-interest would
require that platform promises so
solemny made by candidates for the
legislature would be carried out In
good faith, gave support to their as
pirations for Office. We had witnessed
republican betrayals at previous ses-
sions and ii was the natural thought
of progressive democrats that any sort
OF intelligence would demand an ex-
acting and relentless living up to plat
form promises by representatives OF
party that owed it's increasing pres
tige to radical action in favor OF
sweeping reform. The legislative re-
suit was 81 the proof necessary to
progressive democrats to know that
they had been humbugged. Bi-parti-
san business reaction had been pro-
jected into the new administration and
the progressive democrat was without
representation.
There is every indication at present
to warrant the belief that the men who
dominate the democratic organization
will repeat every reactionary tenden-
cy supported by them during the cur
rent state administration and that
they are now preparing to prevent the
rank and file of the democratic party
from gaining expression.
1t Is my sincere hope. that the self
respecting democratic voter will take
a keen look at the actual results of the
last legislative session of Idaho and
make comparisons between platform
pledges and action. There Is no 9TH
er way to judge of the character of an
organization except that of its legis-
lative action when I'm session. If the
democrats of Idaho are to
have one word to say about party pol
icy during the next campaign they
must begin some time this winter to
organize for a complete overthrow of
all present leaders of the party. Rad
icalism has not friend in the organ

Shortage Of Gold.


The exigencies of war have brought
about a most abnormal distribution of
the worlds stock of gold money Dur
ing the two and half years in which
the United States was neutral ma
'tion we accumulated gold reserve,
the result of a trade balance distinct
~ in our favor, of nearly so per cent
above normal. There Is only about
eight and half billion dollars worth
of gold money in the world today, and
the United States holds something
more than three billions of it. All of
the neutral nations of Europe, too, are
holding reserves of gold far above nor
NAL with a consequent depletion of the
reserves of the belligerents.
The scarcity of gold has created a
demand for silver that has raised the
price of this metal and the United
states. being the largest producer of
silver in the world, is profting by this
condition.
Foreign mints are reported as work.
ing overtime to coin silver for the
everyday transactions of the people,
and the production has not yet caught
up with the demand.
