It proposes to take.
Although no of1lcial announcement has

Base Hospitals for Work in France
Take Full Equipment

A base hospital, several of which
are already in operation overseas.
consists of the people and material
necessary to establish and operate
hospital without asking outside as
sistance except the provision of shell
ter. This usually means a deserted
hotel, an empty village, a group Of
huts or a number of large and small
tents.
The personnel of one hospital
which is fully organized and waiting
to be sent to France includes "a ply
sicians and surgeons, nearly all Of
whom are now on active duty at
cantonments or hospitals in prepara-
tion for their future work. The
nurses number 65, all having passed
rigid examinations. There are 6
women stenographers and bookkeep-
ers. OF the 153 enlisted men, 65 are
orderlies or male nurses, ana the re-
naming are clerks, bookkeepers, me-
chanics and skilled laborers. The
base hospital is a little world in tt
self and must have cooks, butchers,
bakers, carpenters, engineers, etc.
The equipment for this one unit
cost $4,000.

Chance for Immediate Service
Might Be Lost

Soldiers at the cantonments would
rather see service at once on the bat
tie lines as privates than go later
as officers. In many instances enlist
ed men eligible to officers training
schools have refused to apply because
they feared the work would lessen
their chances of immediate active SER
vice in Europe.
In one division, with $50 men to
be selected for training schools, only
40 men would apply. The rumor
was abroad in camp that the division
would sail before the work at the
school was completed, and not until
the men were assured that the
schools would move with the divi-
sions were the quotas filed

ces of Leather in Equipment Of
Infantryman

While the demand for leather for
many uses has taxed the productive
capacity of the country, the amount
used in ordnance equipment for SOL
diers is singularly small The equip
ment furnished. an infantryman by
the Ordnance Bureau (Which does
not include the uniform equipment
from the Quartermaster's Depart
ment) contains only 1912 ounces.
The largest use of leather in this
equipment is in the gun sling, which
contains Z ounces; in the oiler and
thong case are Is ounces; bayonet
scabbard, or ounce; pack carrier, l
ounce.

GOOD NEWS FOR THE TRACT
Controversy Between Settlers and
Company Settled and Federal
Suit Dismissed

No more acceptable Christmas gift
could come to all interested In the
North Side tract than the announce
ment made last week that satisfac-
tory settlement had been made be-
tween the settlers and the bondhold-
ers committee whereby all differences
have been adjusted and a suit which
has been pending in the Federal
court for the past two years had been
dismissed under stipdlations agreed
upon by all parties and decree sign
ed by Judge F. S. DIETRICH.
Elsewhere in this issue will be
found brief review of the case and
a copy of the decree as signed by the
Judge.
1t has become an accepted fact
that the North Side tract is one Of
the best and most successful irrigat-
ed sections, not only in Idaho, but
the entire northwest and though the
controversies between the settlers and
the company have in a measure re-
tarded it's growth it mas continually
forged ahead and now that matters
have been settled, one may expect to
witness the greatest growth in its
history the coming year.
All parties concerned are to be
congratulated on the settlement, as
legal proceedings are usually long
drawn out affairs. and from thio time
on we may hope to see more hearty
cooperation between the settlers and
company and a desire on the part of
all to see the North Side rank second
to none in the entire country.

Must Defeat Both Kaiser and People
We also take the following from
the Statesman in which Former Pres
ident Taft warns the Nation of the
great task which confronts 1t:
Boston.-The United States is not
only fighting the kaiser and the Prus-
sian military system, but the German
people. said former President Taft in
addressing a gathering Of manufac-
Associated Industries Of Massachu-
setts here Wednesday night. And
the only way we can win," he added,
'is by hitting the German people on
the head with club"
1T is not true" Mr.. Taft said,
that we are not fighting the German
people. We are. We are not fight
ing the kaiser and Prussian military
system alone. We are fighting the
German people, a people obsessed
with megalomania, and the only way
we can win is by hitting The German
people with a club"
Obseesion OF German People
When the attempt to form a con-
stitutional monarchy in Germany fail
ed" Mr.. Taft continued, "the free
dom loving Germans came to this
country and are now counted among
our best citizens. Those who remain
ed in Germany through the Bismarck
ian rule saw the success Of this rule
OF blood and iron UNTIL" Mr.. Taft
said, they became obsessed with the
idea that success in conquest had
made them chosen people OF God
and that there was German god,
represented by the German state
which state courd do no wrong"
Mr.. Taft then described how loyal
the Germans we're to their govern
ment, and he said they would re-
main so until they experienced psy-
Geological change. And this change
would be affected only by their posi-
tive defeat, he said, after which they
could be trusted to abandon their pol
icy of militarism.
Mr.. Taft thought that to accom-
plish the defeat of the Germans the
United States must send from 5,000,-
900 to 100000 OF American SOL
diers to France. Two million would
not be enough, he thought.

full part In the affairs OF everyday
life. The men remaining at home
are the unfit and the aged-and an
occasional cowardly embusque-and
a very few fit men who cannot be
spared.
In spite Of this absolute scrap
ing of the barrels bottom for
men, 1 find statement In ono
of the weeks reviews that
France has 400, 900 fewer men In
the army than she had in 1915.
All this is black enough. But
not the most pessimist1c man In
authority has even considered
the possibility Of defeat 'tf
America does her part"
But all this means fighting for
America, not In 1919 but in 1918.
1t may mean fighting In 1919, too.
1t certainly will If we are only able
to send enough hard men into the
line next year to hold the Germans
back and not take aggressive action
as well. The conviction now is uni
versal that the war must be won In
the west. 1t is very good news in
deed to learn that GAIA and Jerusa-
lem have been taken. but these are
absolutely minor matters.
All this means hell for the Ameri-
can soldiers next year-just plain
hell-the sort of hell the green
troops of England and France went
through in 1914. l know the Ameri-
can censorship has forbidden the
sending from this side of anything
suggesting that the Americans are
coming over here for anything more
than a triumphant Joy ride. I'VE do
not want the folks at home to wor-
ry about the boys III this war" a
censor is quoted as saying to a cor
respondent recently.
But the time has gone by for what
is inelegantly termed soft sawder."
We have stuffed ourselves with fic-
tion. Now let us try to digest a few
facts.

Public Lands to Be Opened for Gull

Hundreds OF thousands of acres of
land in the United States, hitherto

at some length the wonderful success
he had had with three litters of pigs he
had marketed that day.

they brought me 10 cents pound, or
little more than s4O0 Why, few
years ago those same pigs would have
brought me only half as much | tell
you, the farmer is having his harvest
now."
The smith, having finished sharpening
the share, handed it to his customer.
From well-worn purse the farmer took
two dimes, the usual price for the job,
and dropped them into the smiths hand.
You'll have to come again." said the
smith, still holding the money in his
outstretched palm II charge 80 cents
since the first of the year for sharpening
that size plow -
"Why. how now?" the farmer ex-
claimed testify. "That's an outrage.
Why have you raised the price on me ?"
"To buy some of that high-priced pork
you were tellin' me about" was the
smiths calm reply.
