MAJ. MORAHT IS So ' TERRIBLY ANNOYED
Abuses President for Trying toI
 Draw Austria From War

Amsterdam. via London, April 7.--l Major Moraht in the Deutche TageaI Zeitung writes an abusive article on] what he calls President Wilson's att tempt to provoke Austro-German dis sensions over the submarine war
 He calls the presidents messag among other things hideously hypoc- ritical. unprincipled and untruthful,l People like Wilson," he says, "can1 only be converted by sheer force.
 He expresses the hope that the Ger. man navy will inflict all posetblA damage on America and thus spoil1 the plan of the American financiers."
 Calls President q Liar.
 The Hanover Courier says: ''w6| have no quarrel with the German peoples says liar Wilson, who has hundreds of thousands of dead sol- diers on his bomb-proof copscience. and words his declaration of war as if he would only take the field agsainst the German government. That is alike dishonorable, impudent and stupid"
 "A Note of Caution. i.
 The Neueste Nachrichten of Mu- nich says that the president has set the seal to the diplomatic campaign which he waged against Germany since the beginning of the war and complains that "in his puritanical naf- rowness of mind he has never been able to reach a comprehension os the German stondpoint.'
 The Nachrichten goes to considcr- able trouble to belittlo :he military significance of America's action. It adds warningly. however, that if the Germans canp go to meet their now opponent without great anxiety. IF would be foolish to underestimate thc political consequences on the world at large.

 WAVE OF SELLING
Heavy Disposal of Securities Fea.
 ture Of Short Session

Selling of securities in large volume was renewed during today's short ses- sion; the formal entry of the country into the war precipitating fresh in vestment liquidation and encouraging the short interest to greater activity.
 Apprehension was heightened by reports- of strange vessels off the Att lantic coast and the circulation of other reports of disquieting charac- ter.
 Long stocks opened at losses of to points but before the end of the first hour these were generally and in some instances greatly extend- cd.
 Selling moderated slightly toward the end of the first hour but the mar ket manifested no rallying tenden- cies.

LAND BOARD to-
HEAR SETTLERS.
ON WATER SALE.
After Protracted Hearing
Today Dec. 10 Set for a
Conference on Idaho Irri-
cation Project.
Settlers Claim Company
Selling Water Right to
Carey Act Lands in Viola
ton Board Order-Inves-
tigation Will Be Made.

The state land board decided to in
vestigate the charge made by large
delegation of settlers from the Idaho
Irrigation company project that the
Idaho Irrigation company Is disposing
of additional water rights to Carey act
lands within the project, promising the
delivery of water, in violation of the
order of the board. Dec. 10 at Sho-
shone was the time and place fixed
for the hearing. All members of the
land board. settlers and representa-
tives of the company are expected to
be present.
DELEGATION PROTESTS.
This action was taken after a pro-
tracted hearing of the board which
lasted during the entire morning ses-
sion of the board today. The delega-
ton of settlers present was headed by
Fred w. Gooding of Shoshone.
The company was cited to appear
before the board at it's meeting today
to answer the charge previously made
by the settlers. The company did not
have one of it's representatives pres
ent but submitted written communi
cation in which it denied the charge
N toto.
NO RECORD OF SALES.
In presenting their charge before the
board the settlers claimed that they
arc positive that additional water
rights are being sold to additional
lands within the project and that the
contracts for the water are not being
reported to the state but are being held
back by the company representatives.
There 10 no record at the StatehOuSe
showing that additional water rights
have been sold and no applications
have passed through the hands of the
board. The settlers asserted they were
just as positive that the water rights
that are being disposed of are for land
that has not heretofore been farmed
Dr. that are new entries.
1t is claimed that the sale of addi-
tional water rights impairs the water
deliveries to the lands already under
irrigation. Some time ago the board
entered an order to hold up additional
sales pending an examination, inves-
tigation and report on the water sup
ply by the state engineer.
POSTPONE HEARING.
The board postponed hearing in the
Mountain Home Cooperative Irriga-
ton company's rules and regulations
to Nov. 30. That company was cited
TO appear today before the board and
submit these rules and regulations. 1t
asked for an extension of time. Man
ayers of the project said they desired
to take the matter up with the owner,
Senator Brady, before making an ap-
pearance.
