STRIP FOR PROMPT ACTION

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Officials
today predicted that President Wilson
will Immediately announce the course
of action he intends to take as the re-
suit of Germany's latest affront on the
high seas in sinking three American
steamers. Some said they believed he
would call congress Immediately for
consultation. Others thought he might
empower the navy department to use
an emergency fund to pursue a more
aggressive policy to protect Ameri-
can shipping. Secretary Lansing
conferred with President Wilson this
morning over Consul Frost's reports of
the sinking Of American steamers. "The
situation is too serious to discuss"
Secretary Lansing said.
President Wilson has authorized Sec
retary Daniels to use the $115,000,00O
appropriation to speed up the ship
building program. After hours of con-
ference between the president and Sec
retary Daniels it was indicated the

evening
"Mr. Bohman succeeded in getting d
bill enacted into law that / consider
vitally important for all north Idaho.
This is the one regulating the sale of

land where the timber companies
have bough the timber from the state,
cut it off and then turned the land
back to the state. Much of it is good
agricultural land and there is quite an
acreage in Latah county.
How This Law Works
''The Bohman law provides that the
purchaser of land of this character
shall pay 10 per cent of the price
down. On the balance he pays 2 per
cent interest for the first five years and
4 per cent for the next five, but no part
of the principal Then he pays per
cent and has 80 years in which to pay
the principal. 1t will result in the
development of good land all over
