acknowledgements ARREST ALL SPlES !
Roundup to be Made in Washington
Within Twenty Four Hours =
Woman Wanted. =.

News from Washington today noon
was to the effect that several arrests
of suspected German spies in the Dis
trict are expected within the next "a
Ihours. Names of the individuals TAX
en- in custody will not be given out.
One of the men under surveillance is
known as one of the ring-leaders. He
came to Washington few days ago,
| followed by Government agent. One
of the suspects a woman, is known to
have had the closest relations with
the German embassy before the de-
parture of Count Won Bernstorff sew
eral weeks ago. She has resided in
Washington since the embassy Off
Gals left, but has carefully been
watched by Secret Service operatives.
Reports to Washington today indi-
cate that a total of more than 900
spies, sympathizers, and pro-German
propagandists have been taken into
custody in the last week, the largest
number having been arrested on the
Mexican border.
Measures for the segregation of
German aliens and the rounding up
Of all the suspected spies were dis
cussed by President Wilson, Attorney
General Gregory, and Charles War
rem, Assistant Attorney General, at
a White House conference last night
No statement was Forthcoming from
either the President or the Depart.
ment of Justice, but it is known that
all the places of the German espfon-
age system were discussed.
The Administration is particularly
exercised over the pro-Gcrnlan actl-
vities in South and Central America
designed to incite anti-Amer:can SEN
timent among the Latin-Amerlcans.
Plots in Latin-Amer1ca.
Much evidence of plots concerning
Central and South American coun-l
tries has been gathered by Govern
ment agents, and it is planned to in
form those governments interested OF
the unneutral acts and consplrac'es.
Nc exemptions will be made in the
orders for German aliens to move
away and keep away from the half
mile radius around naval and Mill
tarv operations and establishments.
Scores of protests art reaching the
officials from German
aliens who insist that they should mott
be put under the ban or suspicion or
subjected to Inconvenience.
The executive order has had the
effect of causing an unprecedented
rush for naturalization papers by Ger
nan aliens.

Five Billion Bond Issue-s3,O 100000 to
be Loaned to the Allies-No Stingi-
ness.

Washington, D. c., April 9.-Presi-
dent Wilson'S policy, outlined in his
address to Congress, Of paying Amer
ica's war bill, SO far as possible,
while the war is being waged, leaving
minimum debt to posterity, was
reflected last night in virtual de-
cision by leaders in the House and
Senate to raise 80 per cent. of the
first years expenditures by taxation.
Under this program Congress will
be called upon to raise war revenue
to the extent of $1,750,000,000 through
new and increased measures of taxa
!, ton during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1918. This is exclusive Of
the 100000 bond issue, authori-
cation for which will be sought from
Congress this week. The total de-
mand upon the financial resources of
the country during the first year of
war, under this program would be
$6,75O, 100000.
Of the S5,000,0O0.00O to be raised
by bond issue, $3,OOO,000,OOO, it
was definitely Stated tonight, would
be loaned to the entente allies. The
entire issue, House and Senate lead
crs have agreed, will bear interest
at the rate of 3 1-2 per cent. 1t is
proposed to make the loan to the
allies at this interest rate, which is
lower by far than the rate they have
been compelled to pay Or their prev
ious issues.
No Stinginess in War Fund.
After the entente Governments
have been granted the loan, the plan
is to hold the remaining S2,000,000,-
600, of the $5,O00,O00,O0O, to be APP
Piled, as necessary, on the cost of the
and naval establishments
and other war expenses of the United
States. Indications are that with the
new war revenue measures in effect,
the full amount, $2,0O0,000,O00, would
not be entirely exhausted at the end
Of the first year.

THE HOMELAND QUARTET
ATTRACTS BIG AUDIENCE

The third number of the high
school Lyceum course given in the
opera house Tuesday evening was one
OF rare pleasure and drew large au-
dience, as 1t richly deserved. There
was an abundance OF enthusiasm and
encores from the first rendition to the
closing one, and the only regrets are
that the building is inadequate to ae-
commodate more people and that the
entire people of the city did not have
the privilege OF witnessing and hear
ing the excellent program. These en-
tertainments given by the Lyceum
course are extremely educational
and patriotic and. therefore, among
the best entertainment to visit Mont
pelier. Each member of the Home
land quartet is liable to be called for
military duty at any time and 1t is
doubtful IL they will again be seen
and heard here, but whether they will
or not. their appearance will not soon
fade from the memory of the people
whose pleasure it was to be present
on their visit last Tuesday evening.

BEAR LAKE MERCHANTS
TO ADOPT CASH SYSTEM
The cash and Carry Plan, as Recommended
by the Government, Will be Put Into Effect
Thruout the County on Jan. 1St.

As a result Of the meeting in Poca-
tello last Friday between the state
food administrator and some $50 mer-
chants of Southeastern Idaho, great
revolution will be made ON Jan. 1st,
in the manner in which these mer-
chants will conduct their business in
the future. In short, it is what has
been termed the Cash and carry
plan, that is the merchants who at
tended the Pocatello meeting, by al
most a unanimous vote, decided to
adopt the cash system on January 1st
and to discontinue all deliveries. This
is a nation wide movement, and the
new system will be adopted by prob
ably nine-tenths of the merchants of
the United States on the first day OF
next month.
The Montpelier merchants who at
tended the Pocatello meeting were in
structed to call meeting 'of all the
merchants in Bear Lake county. This
was done and meeting was held in
this city on Wednesday afternoon,
which was attended by every mer-
chant in the county. who handles gen.
eral merchandise. After the plan, as
recommended by the federal food ad-
ministration was presented to the

the same. A county organization was
perfected by electing w. j. Crockett
chairman, and Carl Spongberg. secre-
tary and treasurer.
The merchants of the county who
signed the agreement to adopt the
cash system make an official an
nouncement which will be found on
the last page OF this issue Read it.
This is bona fde agreement
not made to be kept a week or two,
but will be permanent. That mer-
chants of Montpelier are in earnest in
the matter is evidenced by the fact
that at a meeting held Wednesday
night they voted to have the tele-
phones removed from their stores af-
ter January 1st, so it will be impos-
sible for people to call up any mer-
chant and ask to have goods deliv-
cred Owing to the fact that Bren-
nan & Davis do quite 1obbing bust
ness with the merchants of the coun-
ty, one phone will be retained in

Due notice having been given, 1T will
be up to the people TO prepare them

j. r. Martin OF Ogden, district en-
gineer for the forest service was in
attendance at the meeting and ex-
planned to the commissioners the
plans of the forest service for build
ing the road, and the requirements
which would have to be met by Bear
Lake county. If it was to cooperate
with the government Mr.. Martin
stated that the preliminary survey
would cost approximately $4,000,
half OF which would have to be paid
by this county. He also stated that
the estimated cost of the highway
was about $4,000.
After a general discussion of the
question, the commissioners voted t.
appropriate half the amount neces-
sary to make the survey. This money
will be paid out at different periods,
as the forest service submits proofs
that the survey has been made and its
share of the expense has been paid.
The engineer estimates that ii will
require at least five years to construct
such a road as the government builds.
This would mean the expenditure Of
about $4,000 a year by Bear Lake
county toward the construction of
this road.
The action Of the commissioners
last week was just the preliminary
steps, as application for the appropri-
alton of funds for the survey has to
be approved by the proper forest Of
ficials, before any work can be done
This county having agreed to pay
half the expense, there is no doubt
but what the proper forest officials
will approve the appropriation and
the survey will be made at an early
date. IN fact, the survey will be made
this winter. If the weather permits
In that event the construction of tn,
road would begin next spring.
