swept through the east wing and the
original administration building and

practically Quilted and portions of the
walls Of the east building had fallen in

er II o'clock and at that time had
burst through the windows of the
training department. The department
was visited and inspected by Night
Waterman Grim at II O'clock and at
that time there were no indications
Of fire and everything appeared to be

now under way. the departments were
congested and the materials and equip

BRITISH TAKE JERUSALEM.
Victorious General Preserves Sacred
Places Of Holy City.

Jerusalem Is in the hands Of the
British, after having been for virtually
twelve hundred years in the control of
the Moslems The Holy City Of the
Christian religion capitulated to Gen
eral Allenby's forces. consisting of
British. French and ITALIAN troops, aft
er it had been entirely surrounded
and with its fall seemed swept away
the dream Of the Germans and the
Turks Of driving southwark through
Palestine, capturing the Suez canal and
invading Egypt.
Regard for Sacred Places.
Since the recent taking of the town
of Jaffa on the Mediterranean and the
gradual closing in on Jerusalem by the
allied forces, the fall Of the ancient
city daily had been anticipated. It was
not the lack Of strength that prevented
its capitulation. but rather the desire
Of General Allenby TO carry out his
plan Of enveloping the city and forcing
its capture. as frontal attack would
have endangered the numerous sacred
places inside the city and its 'environs.
TeutOns Move to Western Front.
That the Austro- Germans are reliev-
ing men from duty on the eastern front
and throwing them into the lines in
France and Italy daily becomes more
apparent by reason of the almost con-
tinuous augmentation Of their forces
in these regions. The belief prevails
that the enemy is preparing for a great
offensive on the western front.
The Italians have definitely stopped
the attempted drive Of the Austro- Ger
mans toward the Italian plains and the
Germans have failed thus far to follow
up their success of last week against
General Byng's army on the Cambria
sector in France.

FavOrs Home Guards.
The adjutant general of the army
has declined to permit the organiZa-
ton of national guard In Idaho COM
posed of a battalion Of 400 men due
to the fact that II would interfere with
the second draft, but favors the organ
izaion of home guards, the members of
which will be drawn from men not
eligible under the draft. This infor-
nation has been transmitted to Ad-
jutant g. s. Moody who was request
ed by Governor Alexander to ask
permission from the adjutant general
of the army to organize the battalion.
All state adjutant generals have been
asked to submit plans for the organi-
zation of military units In the states
for home protection. Idaho Is with
out troops at the present time. 1t
Is felt by Governor Alexander that
such condition should not be permit
ted to exist as there may be serious in
ternal troubles or property may need
guarding when least expected and the
state should be In a position to meet
such an emergency. The adjutant
general of the army intimates federal
aid will be extended to the home
guards organized. Plans will be an
nounced later.
Frauds i'm Foods.
Pure Food Commissioner J. K.
White has officially branded as frauds
certain compositions. representing to
contain the same elements as an egg,
including one labeled "Egis" and has
warned the public against their pur-
chase Most Of the compositions are
principally corn starch "The par
ticular line of products to which
refer at this time are called egg sub
stitutes or egg savers" said Com
missioner White. "They always have
some fancy coined name including the
word egg This nomenclature In
almost every instance is deceptively
constructed with the word egg, so as
to create the impression either that the
product contains egg as one of its
component parts or is perfect equiv
alent and substitute for egg. 1t sure
ly must be apparent to the unframed
observer, when he stops to reflect, that
from two to four ounces or less of
| yellow powder cannot possibly rep
resent the nutriment Of two or three
dozen eggs" The commissioner also
brands as deceptive a device guaran-
teeing to make two pounds of butter
out of a pound of butter and a quart
of milk.

Ex.Ensign Dunbar
Is Army Prisoner;
Faces Trial as Spy
Relative of Accused Man,
With Pershing, Re-
ported Seized

The alleged German spy who OBJ
tanned a commission as an ensign in
the United States navy under the name
Of William Lewis Dunbar, and who was
arrested by agents Of the Naval Intelli-
gence Bureau after he had been
dropped from the navy's rolls, is now a
prisoner Of the War Department. IL is
said that he has been confined in the
military prison or Governor Island, in
old For. Castle William, for nearly a
week.
This latest phase Of the case, to-
gether with a report that he has a
relative with General Pershing's troops
in France, and that this relative has
been seized as a German spy, is taken
10 mean that Dunbar" will be tried by
a general court martial on Governors
Island. The army authorities would
have jurisdiction over Dunbar, al
though he never served in the army,
because after he was dropped by the
navy he tried to enlist ia the infantry.

States entered the war" said Federal
official yesterday. Evidence that he
was friend of Fritz Kuhn and Baron
George Won Seebeck, son Of General
Won Seebeck. who led the 10th Gei-
man Army Corps against Verdun, is
now in possession Of the authorities
The Federal officials believe that they
are fast on the trail of the directors Of
the German spies whose particular
province is the destruction OF ships.
Two men now under arrest can help TO
throw light on the system, it is be-
lieved.
One OF these is Charles W. Walnum,
who claims to be a Norwegian, now
awaiting trial on the charge Of plot
thing to destroy an American troop
ship, and Matthew Vailiekonkounos
who says he is a Lithuanian. He was
seized Saturday by Secret Service men,
who say that he tried TO board one of
the biggest troopships with a delicately
made fire bomb.

is punishable by not more than twenty
years Imprisonment and $4,000 fine.

There were several fnanciers Of

DRUSSELS, Aug. 6 (contin-
X ued).-A little after mid
- night friend Nasmith, United
States vice-consul, came along and
we set out together for our rounds.
We first took a look at one or two
places and then went to my diggings
for a sandwich and such rest as we
could get before time to start on our
roundup.
Soon after midnight Fortescue
came rolling up in a cab looking for
q place TO lay his head. He had
lust come in from Liege, where he
had had close view Of yesterday
mornings heavy fighting. He said
the Germans were pouring men in
between the forts in solid forma-
ton, and that these sheep were
being mown down by the Belgians
heavily intrenched between the forts.
The Germans are apparently de-
termined to get some of their men
through between the forts and are
willing TO pay the price, whatever
It may be. To-day we hear that the
Germans have asked for an arms
tee Of twenty-four hours to bury
their dead.
After we had hung upon his
words as long as he could keep
going, Nasmith and l got under way
to look after our exodus. The
Garde was keeping order at all
places where there were refugees,
and l was easy in my mind about
that; my only worry was as to what
might happen when we got our peo-
rle out into the streets. Promptly
at 8 o'clock we began to march them
out Of the Cirque.

Belgians Still Hold
Forts at Liege

The Belgians continue to be a sur
prise. At last accounts they were
still holding the forts at Liege. The
French appear to have established
themselves along the Mouse and to
be ready for the attack when 1t
comes. Where the British troops
are nobody here seems to know
and, strange to say, they are not ad-
vertising their whereabouts. There
are plenty Of people who have had
confidential tips from their cooks
brother, who lives in the country
and has seen them with his own eyes.
According to such stories they are
all landed at Ostend and are being
hurried across the country through
Malines. Another story is that they
have been shipped through to Liege
IN closed freight cars to outwit Ger
man spies and that they are now in
the thick of it. According to still
another Of these confidential fellows,
they have been shipped through
BRUSSELS itself in the night and we
we're unaware when they passed un-
der our very windows. You can
choose any story you like and get
an audience with it these days.
To-day's mouth-to-mouth news IS
that the French have fought a big
battle near st. Hubert and repulse |
the Germans with heavy losses. This
has about as much confirmation as
the reports as to the whereabouts OF
: the British army.
