BORAH's GUARD PLAN
National Guard Not Abolished in Bill
Prepared BY idaho Senator

t..It F. +. q Il
WASHINGTON If Senator Bor-
abs bill, recently introduced, propos-
ing to repeal the federalized national
guard law, could be presented square,
ly to congress on its merits, without
other legislation attached, it is quite
probable it could be passed before
the 4th of March. But the more the
Borah bill is discussed the more gem
eral is a desire on the part of other
senators to attach to the bill some
other plan of providing a second line
of defense.
The Borah bill does not. as has
been contended by some, abolish the
national guard; it merely abolishes
the nationalized guard and leaves the
guard where it was before the Hay

Prominent Idaho Democratic Leader

political comment around Washing
ton. The belief is current that not
only will Dubois be rewarded with a
job, which he is admitted to have
earned, but that hereafter he will be
looked to by the administration as its
referee and advisor regarding affairs
political in the state of Idaho.
OF all the Idaho democrats, Du-
bois was the only one, during the late
campaign, to render material service
to the democratic national commit
tee. Early in the campaign, Dubois
went to Chicago and placed his serv-
ices at the disposal Of Senator Walsh,
the western manager. Those services
we're quickly and gladly acsRted,
Dubois, four years
ago, had been the campaign manager
for Champ Clark, when the speaker
of the house was seeking the presl-
Dental nomination at Baltimore.
Just what government office is to
be offered Fred Dubois has not be-
come known, but it is known that his
friends, and particularly those who
took an active part in the conduct of
The democratic national campaign,
have not allowed the president to
overlook the services rendered by the

that that plan will soon provide an

his plan to the Borah bill.

KAISER WOULD FORCE
HOLLAND INTO WAR

London, Feb, 26.-Conviction grew
in Great Britain today that Germany
deliberately planned the torpedoing
Of the seven Dutch ships reported on
Saturday to have fallen victims to
German "ruthlessness.
The belief was based on the theory
that Germany, her belt tight from
lack OF food, has for a long time
looked longingly at comfortable, we'll
fed Holland, her acres under cultiva-
ton, and deliberately sought to force
The Netherlands government into war
SO that she might raid this storehouse
OF a nation.
This assumption, II was pointed
out, would explain the mysterious
masslng Of large German forces on
the Dutch border and the treachery
Of Berlin in not living up to a safe
conduct grant to the Dutch vessels.
The Dutch situation was eagerly
discussed here today, being nearly as
prominently displayed in the news
papers as the German retreat around
Bapaume.

There are great many excellent

When asked IL the navy would sup
ply gunners as well as guns, Daniels
said that they would not put a
gun on ship as an ornament"
Questioned regarding the convoy
ing Of merchant ships, Daniels inti-
mated that the navy department did
not look upon conveying with ap-
proval.
Incidentally Daniels announced that

tails $685.. During February, 1871

ENGLISH MAKE GREATEST GAIN
OF TERRITORY SINCE BATTLE
OF THE MARINE
SIX SQUARE MILES CAPTURED
Gen. Haig's Troops Are Now Within
Four Miles of Teuton
Stronghold

London, Feb. 26.-The greatest
gain Of territory since the battle OF
the Marne with its terrible sacrifices
Of troops has just been achieved by
the British--and with practically no
losses. Field Marshal Haig's men
now have Bapaume almost within
their grasp. The troops Of Crown
Prince Rupprecht have abandoned
section Of territory probably six
square miles in extent.
Retirement by the Germans from
Bapaume. an important strategic
point, is now confidently predicted
here. For two years British troops
have pounded increasingly toward
this position.
Even winters SHOWS and frosts
have not stilled the methodical Brit
ish bombardment on German posi-
lions. ! BIT BY bit Hsig's men have
battered the enemy's trenches. One
week ago the British drove forward
sensationally northwest Of LeSaars
and near Petit Miramount.
At that time 1t was pointed out
that the Germans strategic position
after this fresh advance was such
that retreat was likely. Retreat
would not be made without a des-
perate effort by the enemy to
straighten out the ''kink" in the line
put there by the advance Of Febru-
AIRY IL.
But dispatches today indicated a
withdrawal with hardly a blow
struck. Al few machine gun squads
were left with snipers. to harass the.
advancing forces, but these were
quickly. stilled. The full extent OF
the retirement has not yet been re-
vealed by reconnoitering parties. Pre-
liminary information, however, dis
closes that British forces are within

spot where General Townsend and

mian forces. The Turkish garrison
appears to be trapped, in much the
same fashion that Townsend was
trapped by them. s

President Wilson Addresses Congress In Joint Session.

American Lives and Interests on High Seas

Washington. Feb. 26.--President
Wilson today delivered an address
to joint session OF congress for
permission to arm American mer-
chant ships. to establish an armed
neutrality" and for full and imme-
diate assurance that he may exercise
such authority as he deems neces-
sary in handling the German-Ameri-
can situation.
Declaring that he rs the friend OF
peace and means to preserve II for
America" as long as he is able. the
president emphasized the fact that
he neither asks nor contemplates a
step which might bring war through
the action OF this country.
He declared that war could come
only through an act OF Germany.
NO course OF my choosing will
lead to war" he said. "Wsr can
come only by the wilful acts and ag-
gression OF others"
He added in almost the next sen.
tence that I'VE must defend our
commerce and the lives Of our
people"
He emphasized that while he may
now have full power to take what
steps are necessary. he desires that
congress- ''by It's own vote" show tina,
II Is behind him in whatever he may
decide Is necessary.
While he asks specifically for
power to arm ships. he said he could
not be any more specific, since he
can only decide as the situation de-
velops what should be done.

neutral nations is suffering severely,
but not. perhaps. very much more
severely than II was already suffer-
Ing before the first of February, when
the new policy OF the imperial gov
epment was put into operation. We
have asked the cooperation Of the
other neutral governments to prevent
these depredations. but so far none

us in any common course OF action.
