The school board of the Moscow
evening, at which time the board or
ganized for the year. H. Melgard was
elected president and L. F. Parsons
secretary. Harry Whittier was elect
ed treasurer and the Moscow State
bank was designated as the depository
of the district.
Owing to the failure of teachers
previously elected to positions in the
High school to accept, E. G. Hall was
elected to the position as science
teacher Miss Dinah Bloomquist of
kewana, Iowa, was elected teacher of
English and Miss Alberta Dryden, of
Weston, Oregon, to a position in the
grades. Miss Florence Richardson of
this city was employed as a special
teacher to take charge of the play
ground work of the Whitworth build
ing and to supervise drawing in the
grades.
On petition of a large number of
the women teachers in the district, the
board appointed a committee to ar
range the teachers cloak room in the
High school as a rest room. Hereto
fore there has been no place provided
for handling students, or teachers,
who might be injured or be taken sick
in the school.
In the matter of further increasing
the accommodations of the depart
ment of domestic science, which has
been overcrowded for some time past,
the board took under advisement the
matter of installing an electric range.
Superintendent Rich reported the
enrolment of the first day as 8S2 1t
is anticipated that this number will
be greatly augmented within the next
few weeks.

A Romance in Khaki

Moscow saw the elimination of a
khaki romance yesterday evening at 8
o'clock at the Presbyterian manse.
The young lady, who succumbed to the
fascination of the U. S. uniform was
Miss Esther Marie Lundquist of Mis-
sou1a, Mont, and the man in the case
was William J. Schmalsle, the mech
anic of Co. E, I'd Montana Infantry,
now stationed at the fair grounds in
Moscow. The romance started in Mis-
soula where the company was station
ed last spring and ended when Rev.
D. H. Hare performed the marriage
ceremony with Sergeant Guy Seig and
Miss Bonita Struble as witnesses. Mr..
and Mrs. Schmalsle have no very def
mite plans for the future. Mr.. Schmal-
sic has been connected with the army

Incident in Part
CAN SEE NOTHING WRONG
Says Other Nations, Even the United
States, Has Acted in Similar
Capacity

WASHINGTON - Sweden's reply to
the United States on the expose of
the Luxburg affair was delivered
orally to Secretary of State Lansing
today. Charge d. Affaires Akerhie1m
submitted the Swedish explanation.
Sweden is not obliged to make full
and formal answer because the affair
is not considered a diplomatic incident
so far as the United States is concern
ed. Sweden contends that Minister
Lowen acted without the official know
ledge of Luxburgs language when
the German messages were transmitted
through Stockholm, adding that other
neutrals, including the United States,
had acted in similar capacity for the
central powers.
Charge d. Affaires Akerhielm de-
clared that the American minister in
Turkey had used the neutrals' cable
rights to send and receive messages.

LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
FOR STEADY FUND
RED CROSS WORKERS PROPOSE
TO PUT OPERATIONS ON A
BUSINESS BASIS

The meeting at the Red Cross head
most delightful and enthusiastic one.
There were 40 people there, everyone
of the captains in the drive to be made
this week being present. The plans
for this campaign were completed and
the solicitors are out and will continue
to be out the rest of the week getting
pledges for the Red Cross monthly in
come 1t is hoped that an amount
equal to 5000 will be pledged as all
this is needed to supply material for
the women of Moscow to use in the
fall sewing. The women in Moscow
are especially enthusiastic workers
and have run out of supplies more than
once. Reports from the captains have
already been turned in to headquarters
and they are most encouraging. Mon
day evening the remainder of the re-
ports will come in.
It is understood that this pledge
will last only during the present war.
The pledges can be paid into the Red
Cross headquarters any time from the
first to the 10th of the month.
1t was decided to have the rural
routes canvassed also and captains
were selected for these routes as fol-
lows:
Mrs. Earl David, southeast district.
Miss Lillian Carithers, west rural.
Mrs. G. P. Mix and Mrs. Frank Mix,
north rurak
Mrs Ward Gano, south rural.
Mrs. C. E.. Hagan and Mrs Nicholson,
from A to Third.
The Red Cross has little money on
hand now and if the headquarters are
to be kept open and if Moscow is to
contribute her share to the helping of
the boys at the front it is necessary
to supply enough money to keep the
Red Cross society active. Many are
confused about the big war fund drive
that was made sometime ago and
think that it was given to the Red
Cross society here while in reality the
Moscow division got none of the money
at all.

NEW LIBERTY MOTOR"
A WONDER OF THE WAR
American Genius Turns Out Machine That is Ex-
pected to Give America Dominion in the Air
Over the European War Zone

WASHINGTON-Newton d. Baker,
secretary of war, expects the "Liber-
ty Motor" just completed to give the
United States domination of the air
in the war zone. The mechanism was.
given it's final tests on Wednesday and
after it's complete success had been
demonstrated Secretary Baker gave
out this statement.
"The United States Aviator engine
has passed it's final tests. They were
success and gratifying. The new
motor, designed by the signal service
as the Liberty motor is now the main
reliance of the United States in the
rapid production in large numbers Of
'high-powered battle planes for serve
in the war. For power, speed, ser
viceability and minimum weight, the
new engine invites comparison with
the best that the European war has
produced.
Big Thing of the War

development of this engine as one of
the really big accomplishments by the
United States since it's entry into the
war. The engine was brought about
through cooperation of more than a
score of engineers, who pooled their
skill and trade secrets in the war
emergency, working with the encour-
agement of the air craft production
board, the war department and the
bureau of standards.
"The story of the production of this
engine is remarkable one. Probably
the war has produced no greater single
achievement.
How Problem Was Solved
Zone of the first problems was to
produce quickly dependable avia
ton motor. Two courses were open.
One was to encourage manufacturers
to develop their own types; the other
to bring the best of all types together
and develop a standard The latter
course was chosen and two of the best
engineers at Washington and the prob
lem of producing an all-American en-
gine at the earliest possible moment
was presented to them. Their first
conference was on June 3.
"These two engineers were fgura-
lively locked in room in Washing
ton hotel and for five days neither
left the suite of rooms. Consulting
engineers and craftsmen from various
sections Of the country were brought
to Washington to assist them. The
work in the drafting room proceeded
continuously day and night. Each of
the two engineers in immediate charge |
of motor development alternately |
worked 24-hour shift.
All Rendered Help
"An inspiring feature of this work
was the aid rendered by consulting
engineers and motor manufacturefAl I
who gave up their trade secrets under
the emergency of war needs. The in :
dustries have also contributed the ser
vices of approximately 200 of their
best craftsmen.
