Consequently the chief activity OF
the United States in the event of wal
would be in protecting rights on the
seas. To this end, part of the United
States navy would be sent to English
waters to help keep open the steamer
routes travelled by American ships
The rest of the navy would be kept
near the United States to do the same
duty and to patrol the seas adjacen,
to American territory.
An army of 100000 men would be
raised, not for the purpose of send
ing it abroad to fight in the trenches
of Europe, but to be used in the de-
fensc of the United States if Germany
eventually should be able to send a

Washington, Feb. 10. Thousands
|of kilograms from different parts of
the country urging steps to maintain
peace between the United States and
Germany reached the White House
today. Many of them were the same
in language and evidently were the
result Of an organized movement.
Representatives of the Emergency
Peace federation recently organized
|at New York called at the White
House today in an effort to make an
engagement to see President Wilson
next week. A mass meeting is
planned here Monday. One of the
objects of the movement is to secure
a referendum on war us suggested by
William Jennings Bryan.
New York, Feb. GA fort to con-
tain the new coast defense batteries
at Rockaway Point is already under
construction, and will be completed
with all possible speed, it became
known today. The war department
already is collecting ordnance to be
mounted as soon as the Notifications
are erected. The land taken for the
new fort covers 312 acres. The
cost is to be 81 ,Q0D, 600.
The battery, it is said, today, will
contain four six inch siege guns, and
two or more !6-inch rifles. 1t is
thought that the concrete emplace-
ment for the six-inch batteries will
be ready to receive the guns within
three weeks.
Army engineers believe that when
the new battery is in place, New
York will be comparatively safe from
sea attacks. These guns can be re-
lied upon to keep hostile squadron
from dropping shells into Brooklyn
something that could not be done with
impugnity. The fort will stano II
miles distant from Fort Hancock on
Sandy Hook, the other side of New
York bay. These two forts, mill
tary experts believe, will be able to
criss-cross the city's water approach
es with a gun fire that no feet could
venture into.

many with dependents, the federal

the officials were emphatic in explana-
ton that the help of these agencies in
finding new employment for the alien
enemies would not be withheld. This
was only one evidence of the gov

LATAH COUNTY SHORT
OF MEN IN TRAINING

The Latah county exemption board
received a message today from Ad-
jutant General Moody ordering it to
send men to American Lake immed-
lately to fill the vacancies caused by
the rejection of some men already
sent The difficulty is that the local
board does not know how many to-
send. 1t has never had reports on the
two large contingents of 50 men each,
and if the reports received from the
adjutant general are correct the coun-
ty is short but two men. The order re-
ceived today is to send six. County
Auditor Estes has wired Major Gen
eral Greene to learn the exact status
of the county.

|. v. v. AGENT
LANDS IN JAIL
ARRESTED AT LOCAL HOTEL
WITH GOODS IN HIS POS
SESSION

A. L. Carpenter of Spokane was
arrested by Chief Stillinger and OF
ficer Summerfield at the Hotel Moscow
this morning suspected of being an l
w. W. propagandist at work to in
fluence the trial of T. E. Hawkins, II.
E. Herd and Charles Clifford, the three
|. w. w. agitators whose trial comes
up in district court on Monday.
Carpenter put up nasty fight when
confronted by the officers making it
necessary to put the handcuffs on
him. The officers resorted to the ruse
of calling him to the telephone and
when he came from his room con-
fronted him with a revOF er. After his
arrest he was placed in the city jail
under special guard and not permit
ted to consult anyone.
Frank L. Moore, the prosecuting at
torney, swore to an information
against the man charging him with
having concealed weapons. A revolv-
er and a mass of l. W. w. literature
were found in his room. Carpenter
came to the hotel last Sunday and be-
gan distributing his stuff soon after
his arrival. 1t is presumed that he
was working up sentiment to have
bearing on the three men to be tried
next week.
