Will Practice Law.

William H. Bonneville who is a
member of the senior class and who
recently passed the state bar exami-
nation at Lewiston, has gone to Occur
d'Alene and is practising in the office
of Ralph S. Nelson. Bonneville had
several cases in the federal court held
here last week some of which involved
some very difficult questions of pro-
cedure. He will remain with Mr..
Nelson until Judge Ailshie returns
from his trip east. He will then
probably enter the office of Judge ALL
shie and take the position vacated by
his brother, Lawrence, who has gone
to the officers training camp at San
Francisco.

THINGS A FRENCH MOTHER
IS UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND.

PARASITIC people of France can
not understand why the American gov
ernment since declaring war on Ger
many has not leaped to recognize IN
a material way the Americans who
have long been fighting for France.
A letter signed "a French Mother
printed her, said: "Why is it that those
few Americans, brave enough to seek
voluntarily, while their country was
still neutral, the ranks of our army,
have not yet been claimed by their own
government, whose citizens they re-
main? While all those at home are
apparently receiving commissions and
honor, are these men to remain SER
geants and soldiers in the French
army, unrecognized and unhonored by
their mother country?'

GERMANS AFRAID
TO TRUST SOME
WAR PRISONERS
ALL INHABITANTS OF ALSACE AND
Lorraine ARE UNDER
SUSPICION.
By HENRY WOOD

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
German prisoners declare the inhabi-
tants of Alsace and Lorraine who are
enrolled by force in the German army
are treated with the utmost suspicion
and severity, especially on the western
front.
They are kept under strict sur
veillance and for the most part en-
ployed behind the lines as it is feared
they would desert if sent to the front
trenches.
The Alsacian soldiers as we'll as
those from Lorraine are only granted
leave of absence to visit their homes
after a very strict investigation OF
their sentiments as regards France.
AS fast as possible these soldiers
are being Withdrawn from the French
front and sent to the Russian front.
One German prisoner recently states
that while he was at Hildesheim he
saw 20 Lorraine soldiers brought in
in closed wagons and under armed es-
corts They had belonged to the 21st
German regiment of reserves then sta
toned at Vitry-les-Reims but had
been withdrawn as the result of con-
slant desertions amongst comrades
from Alsace and Lorraine.

Boise Banker Visits Mos

Federal Loan
,IDAHO'S SHARE S7,50O,0OO
Plans On Foot to SEN on Small Pay
ments to Farmers and Employees
of Big Companies.

Frank F. Johnson, vice-president of
the Hoise City National bank, and
chairman of the United States Liberty
Loan committee of Idaho, was in Mos
COW to-day for the purpose of a con-
ference with the bankers of this city.
This conference was held at the Ho-
tel Moscow. From here Mr.. Johnson
went to Spokane to confer with the
lumber men of north Idaho relative to
plans for enabling employees of the
lumber companies to buy Liberty Loan
bonds on the installment plan.
Let Workers Buy.
From Spokane he will go to the
Coeur dAlene mining district to take
up similar plans with the mine owners
Liberty Loan bonds are good in
vestment," Mr. Johnson said in dis
cusing the object of his visit to Mos
COW. "They are absolutely safe and
they pay good rate of interest con-
sidering the times and the. fact that
they are free from taxation. Then
they are as good as the cash because
they will be taken as collateral at
any bank"
Mr.. Johnson also said that plans
were under way to sell bonds to the
farmer on a cash payment OF 10 per
cent, the balance to be paid in the fall
when the crops are marketed. Notes
of this kind, he said, would be
handled by the federal reserve banks.
idaho Has Work Cut Out.
Idaho is expected to take S7,5OO,O0o
worth of the Liberty Loan bonds as her
share, and a systematic campaign is
now on to place this amount. All
officers of the Idaho committee are
out in the field in various parts of the
state during work similar to that Mr..
Johnson has in hand. He was met at
the hotel by w. L. Payne and }. >
Heckathorn of the First National, n

LITTLE BUSINESS TRANSACTED

DOUGLAS. Oct. 16.-There was but little business demanding the attention of the city council last night other than that of a routine nature. As it was reported that the steamer Al-Ki was in port with a surplus of coal and was desirous of disposing of GA tons. the council authorized Wharfinger Kilburn to have it unloaded, although there were 181 tons still on hand and an other cargo on the way. the cOun- ell deeming it advisable to take all offerings in the line of coal while the taking was good. The receipts of the dock for the past week were reported as being $491.45. Money in the treasury amounted to $5,633.94 and bills to the amount of $82290 were ordered paid.

CONSERVATION BEE
 IS NOW BUZZlNG
 ON THE ISLAND

DOUGLAS, Oct 16.-In the ab sence of formal food conservation organization the practice is being observed by residents of both Doug las and Treadwell and observed in a manner that is not in any way working a hardship on those prac ticing it. Too many people who have not given the matter intelli- gent thought, imagine the word "con- servation" as used in connection with food is a simile for hash that what they conserve in the way of food today will confront them in hash tomorrow, and it is to edu- cate the people as to the real mean ing of conservation rather than to spread the doctrine of it that the city council took formal action last night.
 As meat and wheat are the two items of food on which the United States is short, the object of the council in starting something last night is to show the people that, while they are supposed to always leave their tables fully and wholly satisfied, their appetites should be sated, at least two days each week on food other than white bread and meat--not that both should be de nied the same day, but wheat bread say, on Tuesday and meat on Fri day which is fish day" anyhow. With the idea of conducting wha, might be termed a food conserva ton campaign the various member of the council and certain citizens of the town were appointed last night to spread the gospel as fol lows:
 J. w. Martin was appointed to secure committee from the Doug las order of Masons, Mayor Smith q committee from the Eagles. John Feusi from the Knights of Pythias O. E. Bennett was instructed to see committee from Labor Union and invite heads of the Douglas Tread well Parent-Teachers' Association, H F. Murray and Oliver Olson to SC cure committees from the Order of Vasa and the Sons and Daughters of Norway; l.. w. Kilburn, the Odd Fellows, George Johnson, the East. ern Star and Rebekahs; k. J. White to secure heads of the Douglas Treadwell Red Cross and August Olson to interview members of the Catholic club.
 The object is to have members of the above named orders and or ganizations to meet with the coun. cil next Monday night at 8:30 o'clock when arrangements for conserva tion mass meeting for which prOmi- nent speakers will be secured will be made. It is thought that by the various orders, organizations and churches cooperating, everybody in town can be reached and enlisted in and of the movement.
