THE TREACHEROUs Hun

In common with other newspapers
Of that date, the last issue of the
TINES chronicled the capture of one
OF the largest German submarines and
the surrender of it's crew of nearly
fifty officers and men. The boat
was disabled by gunfire, was surrend-
cred and made fast to the United
States destroyer that put it out OF
business Then, while the American
iackies we're busy salvaging the crew
and taking care Of desperately wound
ed, one of the surrendered Huns
sneaked into the hold, opened the sub
merging valves and sent the ship to
the bottom so suddenly and unexpect-
edly that one or more of his own COM
rades went down with her and she
was with difficulty cut loose from her
captor This act was as treacherous
as hell-but, in no manner out of
character for one of a nation of pur-
veyors of poisonous gas, robbers of
private homes and ravishers of wom-
en-.

and lacks details as to his work, a
precaution taken doubtless because of
his knowledge as to censored letters
gained while acting as assistant sec
rotary to George Creels, of the gov
eminent war information board at
Washington, he tells of the wonderful
treatment received while en- route and
of the fine class of men he has met

The letter follows:
Dear Folks:
After a most pleasant voyage we

it will be some time before you re-

caused poor mother. But mother you

will soon be home safe and sound
and much better off for the expert
ence.
OF course you are aware that we
can say very little in letters. But
cannot refrain from telling you how
courteously we were treated on our
voyage I have met very nice class
of men, both amongst the enlisted men
and the officers. The one feature of
the whole trip is the wonderful food
we had all the way and the comfort
able quarters for sleeping, in fact,
/ consider it a vacation. AS far as
the weather is concerned we could
ask for nothing more, but very little
water and a beautiful moon most of
the way.

AN APROPOs QUESTION

"A century is a short period in the
life of a nation" writes General Up
ton in his classic history of THE Mill
tary Policy OF the United States" but
its history may convey many valu-
able lessons as the result of the sys-
tenn which we cherish as our own in
vention; thus the War of the Revolu-
ton lasted seven years, the Wor of
1912 three years, the Florida War sew
en- years, the Mexican War two years.
and the Rebellion four years. not 70
mention the almost incessant Indian
wars of this period. In other words,
since the publication of the Declara-
ton of Independence to this time
these figures show that for every
three years of peace we have had one
year of actual war"

full results, in quickly and adequately
meeting a difficult labor situation; in
locating available seed stocks; in
arran ging for farm credits for the
purchase of machinery and fertilizer;
in supplying tractor power, and in
other forms of effective leadership,
all contributing to a great increase
in the production of spring wheat,
oats, corn, potatoes and other food
crops. and. finally in assisting in fac

ties of this war will be won dur

America. The county agents Will be

THANKSGIVING AND CHURCHES

1t is well for the people of this
country to keep Thanksgiving both
in body and spirit this year and to
obey literally the request of President
Wilson and Governor Alexander that
they repair to their places of worship
on that day and offer up prayers of
thanks to Almighty God for the bless
ings which He has bestowed With
out going into detail regarding such
blessings, il might be we'll to note
the one that they have churches left
standing, untouched by the hand of
war in which TO worship
There ere enough places for all who
wish to offer the thanks which they
should feel, and it is more than us
ually appropriate for them to do so
on this occasion.

A CAPTAIN o. THE CoMMIssARY

Mr.. Carl Shurz vrooman, who is
Assistant Secretary United States De
partment of Agriculture gives to the
public the following with regard to
county agents and the important
work that is expected from them:
The county agents constitute
American agriculture's first line of
defense.
They are the men in the first line
trenches, zealously guarding the far
mer's interests and bringing to his
attention all that is of immediate
practical value in our scientific
teaching. and fortifying this with re-
suits from the experience of the most
successful hard-headed practical far
mers of each county.
At time like the present, when the
nation is engaged in great war
wherein food production is of vital
military importance, the value of the
county agent to the government can
hardly be over emphasized.
Since the United States became
belligerent, the county agent has done
valiant war service. In counties hav-

War Likely to be
Extended by Congress
Declaration Against Austria, Turkey
And Bulgaria Unless There Are
Reasons Against It

WASHINGTON, Nov 26-With the
arrival here today of a large number
of leading senator's and representa-
tives to take up the preliminaries of
the regular session of congress a week
from today, enthusiasm increased as
to whether the United States will de-
clare war on Austria-Hungary, Tur-
key and Bulgaria. 1t was evident this
afternoon this subject will be one of
the first to engross the attention of
the national legislature.
Many of the senators and represen-
tatives openly favored an immediate
war declaration holding that the
events on the Italian front make it
necessary that all of the Teutonic al
lies be considered enemies of the Uni
ted States. They agreed, however.
that they will be guided in their ac
ton by the action of President Wilson.
The necessity of the United States &C
lively assisting Italy is one of the
main subjects now being considered
by the Paris interallied conference
and on the conclusion reached there
will probably depend this country's
line of action. 1t is understood that
Colonel E. M. House already has ac-
quainted President Wilson with the
views of the British government on
this subject.
Senator Stone, of Missouri, chair
man of the senate committee on fore
ign relations who will have charge of
any way resolution in the senate, said
today that he believed it would be
advisable for the United States to
declare war on Austria to clear the
situation, but that this was for the
president to decide"
An immediate declaration of war
against Austria and Turkey was ad-

at Camp Mills. The boys are looking
fine and feeling the same. Chester
came in from camp with me and will
stay until this afternoon, could not
get a longer leave of absence. They
are getting pretty strict and it is hard
for the boys to get passes any more.
The captain said he would let Chester
off a day and night on account of my

certainly do think a lot of the soldiers
and they will go out of their way to
do them a favor. Camp Mills is not
near so nice a camp as Camp Greene.
The drainage is very poor and it has
rained a great deal since the boys
have been there. l ate dinner yester
day at camp with the officers and
took supper last night in the kitchen
with the boys. They treated me fine
and they all seemed to be mighty glad
to see somebody from Twin Falls. 1t
is hard to tell how much longer they
Will be here. but the indications are
that it will not be very long. Chester
sends his regards to all the office
force, also remember me to every
body Yours truly,
