in Germany and of German parentage,
Mr.. and Mrs. William Momberg OF
this city, have consecrated their son,
William j., to the service of the Unit

Company G of the Second Idaho
composed OF young men in this cit
William Momberg, the father OF the
boy and the proprietor of the city
bakery, declared today that so long
as the conflict was between Germany
and the allies and his adopted coun-
try was not involved that his sym
pathy was with the land of his natiy-
ity but with the injection of the Unit
ed States there was only one course
for a decent German-American citi-
zen and that was to be absolutely 10y
al to the country which had given him
home and unequaled advantages.
Mr.. Momberg predicts that the vast
atority of American citizens will,
IKE hlmSelI, take THIS view and be un-
ialtering in their loyalty to the Stars
nd Stripes. The two Siebenberg boys
of this city are also sons of German
parents. The patriotic course Of
these young men is meeting with no
small measure of praise from their
comrades and the citizens of the city.

In addition to the loan, the land
board pledged the entire resources OF
the state to the federal government

Copies of the resolutions adopted
by the land board were telegraphed to
Senator Borah, who was asked to
transmit them to the president and
congress.
The state constitution provides that
school endowment funds must be
oaned on improved lands in Idaho,
but Attorney General Walters says he
believes that in the event OF an emer-

protected, since the money advanced

Russians suffered heavy losses, and
were compelled to retire before the

The Russians also made night at
