Pocatello, Idaho,

American Falls Press:
| Gentlemen:
Appended herto is list of the men
of Power county who have enlisted
in the service of their nation since
the presidents call. 1t is list that
Power county may well be proud of.
This recruiting office wishes to ex-
press to the county that supplied these
men and particularly to the communi-
ties from which they came, our heart
felt thanks. Individual patriotism
sends many men to the colors, but
community feeling sends more. So
all thanks are due the people who are
left and particularly to the parents.
A plan is now under consideration
whereby each home may be issued
service flag to fly from its door in
dicating how many men that home has
sent into the greatest of all services,
the service of country. And the par
ent whose doorway boasts such a flag
may find consolation in the know
ledge that there is no patriotism
| greater than hers.
Sincerely,
LEE o. MILES,
Second Lieut.. Second Idaho Infan-
try.

no doubt will discover the very first in
dfcation of desire on the part of the
kaiser to quit fighting and make peace.
The pacifists, by meddling, brought this
war upon us because they made the kali

would not support the presidents inten-
lions The pacifists are now prolonging
the war and making it more bloody and
expensive by nagging the president and
the administration about peace when
they ought to be preparing to whip the
kaiser. That is, If they don't want to

suing the proper course as they can do
him more service by stirring up dissen-

STAGING Bloody Battle

PARIS. Aug. 20.-A new and terrific
battle was reaching a climax today
around the bloody grond near Verdun.
Today's official statement declared

vantage"
The conflict was over a front of
twelve miles, extending from Avocourt
wood TO Bezon Vaux.
The attack was delivered between
Avocourt wood and BezonvauX
Heavy artillery fighting is in progress

Constantine Told Kaiser
He Had to Be Neutral

LONDON, Aug. 2O.-An Athens dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph COM
pany says that among the diplomatic
documents found in Athens since the
change in government is a dispatch Of
former King Constantine written a few
days after the war began in response to
a message from Emperor William, who
proposed Greece should range herself
with the central powers, Constantine
said
THE emperor well knows my per-
sOnal sympathies, as well as my polit-
ical opinions attract me to his side
Nevertheless it is impossible for me to
understand in what mannet coul1 he
useful tc him in modifying n AIRY.
The VI I'd terraIean is at the mercy Of
the united fleets of England and France,
which could destroy our navy and mer-
chant marine, occupy our islands and
above all. prevent concentration of my
army, which could be effected only by
sea, in the absence of railway commune
cations. Without it being IN cur power
to be usesul in any particula" we would
be wiped off the map. l am necessa-
rily of th4 opinion that neutrality is i'm
posed upon Us"
Gottlieb Won Jagow. then German for
eign secretary, replied to Constantine
that Emperor William woulC under
stand the necessity of maintaining neu-
trality for the present. He advised
Constantine to reach an understanding
with Sofia and Constantinopte.

KING COAL IS NEXT
TOLOSE HIS THRONE;
MAY HAVE DICTATOR
Hoover Has His Hands Full
With Food and CoIver May
Be the Man to Boss Fuel
By gibson GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19-The produc-
ton and distribution of coal at fair
prices is one of the objects of the So
called food bill. Food. feed and fuel
the law reads.
Hoover says he has his hands full
with the food problem. so the president
will have to find someone else to be
coal dictator"
At a guess il will be w. b. Colver
of the federal trade commission. Colver
has specialized on coal and knows more
about the difficulties and remedies than
any man in the country. This is ad-
mitted by his colleagues on the COM
mission and by the senate committee
which drafted the food law coal sec
tions after Colver had spent two whole
days telling them about it.
Under the law President Wilson may"
use the federal trade commission to car
re- out its purposes. The law gives the
government ample powers. 1t only re-
mains for the government to use them.
The government may take over the
coal industry. if IL seems best, and as
much of the railroads and their equip
ment as necessary.
The new act recognizes the coal ia
mine is caused largely by car shortage.
So congress passed the priority law"
The president, through proper agents,
may direct coal or other shipments and
regulate car distribution. This ought
to bring adequate coal cars to the mines
The so-called Pomerene amendment
takes care Of coal price and distribu-
ton. Under II the federal trade COM
mission can determine production cost,
compel pooling of all coal at the mine
and fix the price there at a figure COW
ering mining cost and rea sonable prof
it, Then the government may follow the
coal through the agencies OF distribu-
ton, seeing that it reaches the consum-
er without excessive middlemen profits
The governments weekly bituminous
coal report shows car shortage remains
the principal obstacle in the north. A
better car supply is reported from, Vir-
ginia and the south. In Illinois the
car shortage was responsible for II per
cent Of the loss in output; in Indiana
20 per cent. in Ohio IS and in western
Pennsylvania Is per cent. In these
fields labor troubles have reduced the
output less than per cent.
Special committees are in Washing
ton from Boston and Minneapolis urging
the precarious situation in New Eng
land and the northwest. Factories and
public service gas and electric plants
already complain of the impossibility of
getting coal even at famine prices. And
il is daily borne in on the White House.

JOHN BARLEYCORN'S DEATH
IS GREATLY EXAGGERATED
One Million Gallons of Whisky
Being Withdrawn From
Bonded Warehouses Daily
BY HARPER LEECH.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. IS
Feeling fine, thank you"
This CHEEKY greeting is from Old
John Barleycorn, rumors of whose
death have been widely circulated dur
ing the recent heated spell.
The rumors were vastly exaggerat-
ed" as Mark Twain said on a similar
occasion.
National prohibition, as an amend
ment to the food bill or as an emer-
gency war measure, has been defeated
Although the senate has passed a
resolution for a dry constitutional
amendment, that must go to the house
and then thirty-six states must as
sent to it. Johns friends are conf
dent they can hold at least thirteen
commemorative fast for booze for many
years to come.
Manufacture of whisky or distilled
liquors is prohibited for the period of
the war-but the practical effect of
this is to enable the whisky trust to
raise prices to three or four times their
normal level. The trust has enough
whisky to supply booze consumers for
three years. Distillers securities stock
rules higher on change than ever be-
fore.
The big dstillers will not worry
about not being able to manufacture
drinking whisky during the war. Their
plants will be kept going at full speed
to make alcohol for explosives. The
same thing that puts the kick in grog
puts the kick in smokeless powder.
Industrial alcohol corporation (mu-
nitions branch of the whisky trusD has
Just declared a dividend of 16 per
cent.
Whisky is being withdrawn from gov
eminent bonded warehouses at the rate
of over 100000 gallons per day.
Prices have been raised in every bar
room.
While the president is authorized to
commander whisky In bond and to
redistill it for munitions, this is neces-
sary to save foodstuffs which would
otherwise be made into alcohol for mu-
nitions purposes. there is little prob
ability that the president will seize
this stuff. Alcohol for munitions can
be mace from corn at 80 cents pei
gallon To redistill whisky into indus
trial alcohol. and to pay it's owners, as
provided by law. would cost the gov
eminent around S1.20 a gallon, and the
government would lose $500 in taxes
on each gallon seized.
Probably nothing gives Old John so
much plea sure as the plight in which
his false friends, the brewers. now find
themselves.

SUBSTITUTE OTHER
CEREAL FOR WHEAT,
IS HOOVER'S PLEA
New Economies Must Be In
troduCed or United States
and Allies Will Face Deficit
of 400,0O0,0OO Bushels

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S-North
within four hundred million bushels of
supplying the shortage of European al
lies and neutrals. Herbert Hoover an
nounced tonight.
AS partial remedy. he suggests
that every person in the United States
use one pound less wheat flour per
week, a reduction of 20 per cent in
present consumption.
Substitute other cereals, of which
there are plenty, he urges. If these
cereals-corn. oats. barley and rye-are
substituted in the American loaf. it
means that war bread"-becomes part
of the American diet
He suggested that this conservation
will be no privation to us and will
reduce the privation of our allies"
His estimate of the shortage is based
on normal consumption in a three-year
war period. France, Italy and the United
Kingdom, he says. must import 57T,-
5000 bushels of wheat and $4,000. 900
of other cereals If normal consumption
requirements are to be met.
The United States and Canada are the
only markets this wheat can come
from, the South American crop having
practically failed, the Russian, Bulga-
ran anu RuHldHldH SuppllSS UcilS Cut
off by the Teutons. and the Austria
liam and India crops being too far away
and too subject to U-boat perils to be
counted on.
The United States will have $4,000
600 and Canada 120.000,00O bushels,
leaving an actual shortage to European
allies of $685. 00, 900 bushels of wheat
Mr.. Hoover estimates that which goes
to neutrals from whom vital supplies
return, and more for seed will bring the
shortage to 400 900 900 bushels of wheat.
An excess of other cereals. he esti-
mates, will be sufficient to make Eu-
ropes war bread. materially reducing
her wheat consumption and also make
Americas and Canadas war bread. re-
ducing their wheat consumption.
Reduction of a pound of wheat flour
per week per person in the United
States will triple our contribution-now
$4,000 900 bushels-to the shortage.
AS showing how critical this Euro
pean shortage is and how necessary
the cutting down of American consump-
tion of wheat. he cites the fact that
ain Belgium. the relief commission has
been compelled to reduce the consump-
ton of cereals by nearly so per cent
bringing the food supply so low that
the population are incapable of labor"

The statement says that on Saturday
the Bulgarians bombarded the city more

bombardment, as no fighting was in
progress. Women and children who fled
