Last Sunday about noon. Willis Dur
fee. son of Jim Durfee. and Grin Dur
fee, son Of John Durfee. were herdins
sheep about a mile and a half north
of Peavey. They both had 22-rifles
and were shooting birds. They separ-
ated and while passing around a hill
Grin shot at a bird. In coming around
the hill be was surprised to find Willis
had been shot. Thinking he had acct
dentally shot himself. ne discarded his
coat and rubber boots and ran to his
homo about a mile away for help. Will
lis lived about an hour. but never re-
gained consciousness. Not until the
guns were examined did Orin know
that 1t was his shot that killed his oou-
sin. The bullet entered the back of
the head and after striking tho back
Of the skull split. part going to the
brain and part following the skull,
making two holes. which for q time
was very puzzling to the officers. The
coroner and sheriff were called, and
after carefully going over all the facts
concluded an inquest was unnecessary.
The remains were taken ON Wednes-
day mornings train to Burley, and
from there by motor to Almo, the for
mer homo Of the Durfees. and where
they buried q child SIX months ago.

commander Of tho city said the Ger
man army had spent l0.00o.0oo marks
purely for the new Qualifications. And
this 10 only = drop In the bucket of
what Germany has spent to make one
gigantic fortress OF this occupied ter
ritory.
Germany has not only fortified every
strategic position; she has not only
staked off trenches and and planned
underground systems Of defense. but
Germany has carried out gigantic en-
cheering feats. The courses Of rivers
have been changed, barbed wire
stretched and mines planted in the old
river bottom; then the river turned
back in its customary course. On one
trip through Belgium I saw two rivers
the courses Of which had been changed
In northern France / saw a dam which
had been built so that upon an instant
notice the countryside for miles around
could be flooded. I saw fields and for
ests where barbed wire entanglements
had been stretched through the grass
and underbrush in continuous net
work. It was explained that the
streams in that neighborhood could
be 30 diverted that this ground could
be flooded Just above the top OF the
low barbed wire netting, 30 that II
soldiers attempted to wade through
they would be trapped. In some sec
tons Of Belgium rode for at least an
hour on the railroad train and saw
nothing but this bsfbed wire net-
ting.
DEFENSES At NAMUR.
In Namur. which Is considered one
Of the best strategic points in Belgium,
the Germans have reorganized the en-
tire system Of defense. Trenches and
underground means of communication
have been established between every
one Of the individual forts. So, when
Germany maintains that there is no
definite defensive line in the west,
Germany means that the whole coun-
try is fortified and that the army as 1t
moves backward can stop almost any
place and fight defensively.
There are in this occupied territory,
which American troops may help re-
cover from the Germans, many big in
dustrial and commercial cities. Lille,

expect American Intervention, nor a
Russian republic. nor such large En-
glish army to be lined up against Ger
many. During the Somme battles the
morale of the German troops was on
the point Of breaking when the allies
stopped their advance. They have now

ed long enough, can SO shatter the

there is break will compel the Ger
mans to retire in such haste that they
will not have an opportunity to de-
stroy what still remains in the occdp-
led territory.

For over a year Germany
has been strategically pre-
pared on the western front.
Almost Immediately after
the occupation of northern
France and Belgium, Ger
many began to fortify every
possible position or to draw
up plans for the fertilization,
so that they would be ready
for instant use. Through
out the territory which the
German army still holds I
have travelled as a CORE

been prepared.

PRAY FOR DELlvERANcE.
But while this occupied territory has
been made great fortress as far back
as the German frontier it is still the
homo for several million French and
Belgian citizens, who hope and pray
for the hour Of their deliverance. In
some cities where tho German army
has taken over the beautiful churches
and cathedrals the people have had to
worship out OF doors or in their own
homes.
As the allies advance they are not
only freeing these human beings who
for two years have been tortured by
the war, but they are capturing day by
day positions which 1t has taken the
Germans two years to defend. As they
march on they are also capturing Zep-
pelin harbors and threatening the Ger
man control OF the Belgian coasts,
which. as Sir John R. Jellicoe stated
recently is one of the knotty problems
which the allies have to face in solving
the submarine danger. The >German
navy has made the coast OF Belgium a
strong fortification. From every i'm
portant harbor submarines can obtain
supplies. AS the British advance into
France and Belgium this strategic ma
rine point Of Germany will be more and
more threatened, and the destroyers.

"APPROvAL" PRACTICE HIT

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The prac-
tice of purchasing dry goods on ap-
proval and later returning it to stores
constitutes an enormous unnecessary
cost and is likely to be abolished as a
war economy measure, the commercial
economy board of the Council of Ma
tional Defense reported today. An
investigation shows that returned dry
goods vary from four to thirty per
cent of the sales and cause many
thousands of dollars of expense.
