British Experience Quoted.

Leaving aside all considerations of
frightfuiness applied to the civil popu-
lation of a small country. as in the
cases of Belgium and Serbia. might pay
on the ground that 1t renders con-
quered country easier to govern Brit
ish experience certainly does not bear
out such an argument. and / think 1t
very unlikely to be substantfated by
either the Belgians or the Serbs. But
the theory that frightfulness applied to
a powerful enemy can accomplish any
thing more than to strengthen that
enemy's determination and resourceful-
ness is absurd, and has been proved SO
in the present war.
And, as 1 said. perhaps the German
political crisis may indicate that if not
the absurdity of the theory. at least
the unprofita bleness of the practice has
begun to penetrate few German
minds"

POWER LINE
To JARB|DGE
Guggenheim interests Contract
For Power For Mining
Camp

The Twin Falls News says: Jar
bidge will have electric power by
October /. High tension lines will
be run particularly to supply power
for the Guggenheim interests. and the
Idaho Power company has contracted
to furnish power by that time. The
line will be run from the Thousand
Springs plant 10 the Nevada camp. Il
distance of about so miles.
1t will represent large investment
on the part of the power company, but
the camp has been proven and there
will be big demand for power for Il
long time to come. The Guggenheim
interests arc particularly interested in
getting the transmission line built in
the shortest possible time and are Civ
in gthe power company every possible
assistance in its construction. Pre-
liminary surveys are now being made
and next week the permanent survey
will be run. Construction is TO be
started at once. The power company
some time ago bought the copper wire
needed for this line.
Work Will be Rushed
Scarcity of material and labor will
have something to do with the time in
which the new power line can be
built, but the work will be rushed.
The Jarbidge camp is showing up
exceptionally well. There are now
about 1000 people at Jarbidge and the
extensive development under way OH
the Guggcnhcim properties gives
promise of n noticeable growth in the
immediate future. The Guggenheims
are the heaviest owners of properties
ut Jarbidge, but it is understood that
George Wingfleld. the Nevada million.
aire mining man. has had his agents
in the field and las become interested
in some promising claims of the dis
tricl.

Here is First, Step in Co.
Ordination

WASHINGTON. May Two allied
war commissions sitting continuously,
one in England and the other here,
appear as the first actual steps to
coordinate the powerful resources OF
the United States and Great Britain
in the war with those of the allies
across the sea. -.......
The commission in London with
representatives "of the other allied
nations. including the United States,
would receive and decide upon the
apportionment OF seaborne traffic. The
commission will then charge itself
with getting such supplies to the sea-
b1ard, either by direct purchase or
through the existing agencies.
While the inroads made by Ger
many's submarine continue, 1t is alb.
solutely essential to conserve every
ship for the most needed freight and
the only way this can be done is to
have the allies submit its needs to the
central body in London which shall
have the power to give priority to the
most pressing freights.
