ed to follow out the suggestion
made therein and place a taboo on
abbreviated dresses for young
women.
The resolution adopted is as fol
lows:
Whereas, the matter of dress re-
form in our state institutions and
public schools has become an alb
solute necessity;
Whereas, the elaborate dressing
of our girls has become a menace
morally, physically and financially;
prevents proper development of
character and depriyes many girls
of a college education;
Therefore, be it resolved, That
the Idaho Third District Fedora
ton respectfully request the state
board of education to make uniform
dress compulsory, thereby solving
the problem of many parents in re-
gard to the education of their
daughters, enabling girls to devote
more time TO the development of
mind and character.
Respectfully submitted,
MRS. Fl. G. Shaver, Occur d'Alene.
"Mrs. James Babb, Lewiston.
"Mrs. Jay Eldridge, Moscow
The resolution will be laid before
the state board of education at its
next regular meeting.

IDAHO GOODS DRESS
IN FEARFUL ATTIRE,
SAY CLUB WOMEN

Young women attending Idaho
educational institutions dress scan
dalously. This is the opinion of
the members of women's clubs in
the Third District Federation for
the state.
The abbreviated dress, with short
skirts and low-cut necks, is a dis
grace and should be put under
ban, the club women assert, because
of the menace, morally, physically
and financially, to the young
women thus attired and to their
parents.
The club women made known
their attitude toward the dress
question at their meeting in KEEL
logg, October 8 and 10, when a re-
solution was adopted condemning
the practice, and requesting the
compulsory wearing of a uniform
dress by the young women students.
Copies of the resolutions were for
warded to DR.. +. A. Bryan, state
commissioner of education, and to

The resolution adopted was sub

WHITIOCK VISITS KING
OF BELGIUM UNDER FIRE
American Women Accompany Min
lister to Trenches at Front.

HAVRE May 11.-Brand Whitlock,
the American minister to Belgium.
has made his first visit to the King
OF the Belgians on the battlefront
He enjoyed his experience on the fir
ing line, to which he was accom-
panied by Mrs. whitlock and several
other American women. They were
under the fire OF the German guns.
The party included the secretary OF
the legation, Albert B. Ruddock, and
his wife. They were first received at
the chateau of Baron de Broquevtlle.
the Belgian premier. The meeting
with the King took place at cot
tage occupied by the monarch, Where
he keeps in close and constant touch
with his army.
The King and Minister Whitlock
were closeted for an hour, after
which the King and Queen received
the entire party, who had luncheon
with them. Afterward the visitors
were conducted by General Marchou-
chez to the Queens Hospital at the
headquarters OF the general staff.
The members OF the party were
then conducted to the Belgian front,
and later went by way OF Newport
to the Belgian trenches in the neigh
boThood OF Ramscapelle and PerVyse,
where they saw the vast extent OF
the inundated regions and were actu-
ally under fire. General Marcouchez
complimented the American women
OF the party for their bravery, say
ing that they were the only women
except the Queen OF the Belgians,
who had ever been so far forward In
the firing line.
Mr.. Whitlock expressed himself as
delighted with the trip, and felt es-
pecially honored by the cordially or
the Kings reception. at was pc
culiarly gratifying sensation" he
said. It ODE on free Belgian soil
again, but two hours from Brussels.

How to Get Results

II further encouragement for en-
listments is needed the Administra-
ton is in a position to furnish it by
acting on the suggestion of one of
our distinguished visitors, Major
Charles F. Gordon, of the Forty
third Cameron Highlanders, as fol-
lows:
Tell the story Of German machi-
nations in this country since the
war began.
Throw the full light on these
and every other phase OF the war
that will quickly lead the people
to understand the kind of enemy
We are lighting.
Then. and not before then. can
the full force of this great coun-
try's man power and resources be
made effective for war.
Tell the story of German machi-
nations on this side of the Atlantic
before the war as well as since its
beginning! Under the circumstances
the American people have right to,
indeed they should be made to, know
the facts. The most curious aspect
Of our part in the war to date has
been the almost studious withhold
ing from the American people of the
details that would make even the
dullest understand why We have
Joined the fight to suppress Prus-
sianism. The fact that the Govern
ment has long had knowledge that
Berlin was plotting even at the time
of the Lusitania atrocity to league
Japan and Mexico against US has
been permitted to come out only
grudgingly in testimony incidental
to the Won Neutrality-suspicious.
an conspiracy trial.
Members of the Administration
have called repeatedly for the re-
cruits for the regular army and the
national guard who are required, ac-
cording to the Governments own
plan as officially announced before
Congress took up the army. bill, to
furnish the country's first line while
the selective CONSUMPTION law is be-
ing put into effect. But the head
of the Administration has not
sounded the call or made public the
information which would have
brought forth the volunteers.
Publication of the plain facts
would be Of equal value in getting
ships to overcome the U-boat peril.
The way to arouse American indus
trial and man power to the grim
job ahead is to tell the whole story
of the surreptitious warfare that
Germany has waged against the
United States for nearly three years.
America was at war a month yes
terday, yet, apparently the people
do not yet fully comprehend the
fact. 1t is time for them to be
awakened.

The Heart of the Problem.

The business Of defeating Ger
many is q clean-cut problem; the
most intricate, the greatest in a ma
terial way and the most far-reaching
in its outcome that the present gen.
Grafton has had to deal with in this
country. For all that it can be for
INFLATED in few words. The defeat
of the Germans can surely be ac-
complished only by our attaining
certain ends: First, military co-ordi-
nation of plans with the French and
British; next raising certain quanti-
ties Of food, munitions, and men;
next conveying these necessaries
when and where they are required in
Europe. The rest of the problem is
an enormous mass of detail, chiefly
technical, with which the experts Of
the War, Navy, Treasury, and other
departments are charged; some Of it
eluding the routine methods of the
technical expert and calling for
other solution.
Coordination of plans with the
French and British is, we hope, under
way, thanks to the visit of the
French and British commissions. The
business Of procuring men and NUM-
tions is still in the preliminary
stage, but the progress of the Lib
-, ,,,k.o-;,T,op apd the a.
surance Of the passage Of the mill
tary service bill indicate that this
part of the problem may soon be
left to the technicians. Raising
food is largely a matter Of raising
the extra labor to farm the land;
largely also q matter of economizing
on home food consumption as an in
direct means Of producing a food
war surplus. The continued indirect
transfer Of fOodstuffs from this
country 70 Germany by our exports
TO Germany's neutral neighbor is a
loose end Of the situation to be dealt
with by embargo, which has already

unsolved problem. but We are pro-
crossing with it.
Conveying our resources to the
seat of war is the one yet wholly
unresolved difficulty Of the great
task. The U-boat bars the way. It
increases enormously the difficulties
of supplying materials and foodstuffs
TO the western allies even now. It
threatens to cut down their receipts
of these essentials even more. Above
all, it renders desperate the Difficult
ties Of Transporting hundreds Of
thousands of men across the ocean
and maintaining them there in addi-
ton to the millions we must already

Hence the determined outcry for a
way to check the U-boat. Unfor-
tunately the mere repetition Of the
idea, "The U-boats must be stopped"

The OhiciaI Bulletin

The Times welcomes to its ex-
change table the Official Bulletin
published daily by the Committee on
Public Information, George Creel,
chairman. The first number contains
information, evidently intended for
that part of the public which has
been at sea for some weeks and de-
prived Of the services OF the news
papers. It is noted with interest,
however, that "The Official Bulletin
is designed to inform the public on
the progress Of the war" SO we live
in hope.
If'the Bulletin is to contain eight
pages daily, it will be almost imPos-
sible to avoid publishing some news.
The first issue seems TO have cleared
the way for news by filing its pages
with executive orders and letters
from the heads Of departments is
sued and published during the last
forty days
Mr.. George Creel, the editor, was
once connected with a daily news
paper and we trust that his later
career as a magazine contributor has
not caused him to forget the import
ance of publishing today's news to-
day. The Times does not wish to be
unduly critical of so young con-
temporary % and hopes to see 1t
soon get out Of the class of the Con-
rressionaI Record and other Govern
rnent notifications.

Buy a Flower for Mother Tomorrow

Buy a Flower for Mother Tomorrow
In all the rack and ruin Of war,
in all the jargon Of bursting shells
and scattering shrapnel there has
been one sound, one word that has
held its place and its meaning, its
holiness and its sweetness.
1t is the first word that millions
of baby lips have formed. 1t is the
last word that thousands upon thou
sands of dying tongues have whis-
pered. 1t epitomizes all there is of
love and care, all that ever will be
of devotion and fidelity. 1t summar-
ICES a religion and rivals an attri-
butte of deity.
No syllables, in whatever language
spoken, have the depth and breadth
of meaning that is enshrined. in the
one word Mother.
Next Sunday is Mothers Day. 1t
is the day set aside by a wise Gus
tom for each Of US to pay tribute
to her whose breast was our life
fountain, whose hand was our sup
port, whose devotion follows US to the
heights of success or the lowlands of
failure.
Tomorrow on the streets Of Wash
ington a devoted band of women will
offer to you nosegays Of sweet flow
ers and the funds from their sale
will go to the saddened and destitute
mothers Of our allies.
Buy one. Buy one for your own
mother and pin it on your coat as an
emblem of your love for her.
Buy one for that mother across
the seas who waits with dry eyes but
bleeding heart for a son she loves
as your mother loves you.
Buy one for what the act may
mean as an offering to the WORTH
ness and holiness Of motherhood the
world over. If the coin be large
that your fingers first grip let it ex-
press to the fullness of its value your
tribute to those who are silently
bearing a burden past all compre-
hension.
Buy a flower tomorrow.
