conditions TO supply TO best advant,
age the meat demands Of soldiers ana

be done, it is pointed out, only by a
reduction in American consumption and
an increased supply in this country.

Witness Wilson
Revises His Story
Assistant District Attor-
neys, Not City Club, Of
fered Cash, He Says

Albert L. Wilson, the witness who
surrendered himself on Saturday with
a promise of revelations concerning
the charges against District Attorney
Swami and his own testimony against
Lucien S. Breckenridge, resumed and
revised his "reminiscences yesterday in
his Tombs cell.
The story that the City Club had
offered him $4,000 to testify against
District Attorney Swami was all wrong,
he said, and the truth was that AS
sistant District Attorneys Dooling,
Markewich and Eder had offered him
$500 to testify against Mr.. Breckin-
ridge. He denied having told Rabbi
Buchler, in whose presence he related
several anecdotes on Monday in the
Office Of Assistant District Attorney
Tallev. that the City Club had offered
him So 900 or that his testimony ought
10 be worth that TO the District Al
torney.
Clinches His Denial
81 never saw Rabbi Buchler before in
my life" said he, as if clinching the de-
NAL. ale at once tried to prevail on
me not TO double cross Mr.. Swami and
Tammany Hall, because, he said, it was
too big a job for one man to get away
with"
The same Assistant District Attor-
rovs who had offered him the $500
had broken his spirit, Wilson averred,
by keeping him in the Tombs for six
teen days last January and threaten
ing him with twenty years IN sing sing
for forgery. If he consented 70 JOIN
forces with District Attorney Swami,
he said, he was TO get $50 week so
long as he was needed, and the dr.
ference between what he had been paid
and $500 when the salary ceased:
He declared that Mr.. Markev'ich had
paid him S35 week until August =,
and that Mr.. Markewich gave him $500
on the day that Mr.. Breckinridge was
indicted He recalled that Max Hart,
whose wife furnished $4,000 bail for
Wilson, had told him that the bail had
been furnished simply because Dis
trict Attorney Swami had promised to
reimburse Hart if Wilson ran away.
He added that Hart had promised TO
bail him again if he would stand
pat"
Swami Denies Payments
District Attorney Swarm said that
Wilson had never received dollar
from any one in his office, but that
Mr.. Breckenridge had paid him 80
week during the administration OF
Charles \. Perkins.
Wilson GOT a chance 20 talk for two
hours when John h Clark, associate
counsel for the City Club, visited him.
Mr. Clark explained carefully that he
was not Wilson's attorney, but was
taking a statement from witness who
wanted 10 confess that he had COM
mitted perjury when he testified
against Mr. Breckenridge.

AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR-
TIERS, France-Just little matter OF
precedent seems to be all that is keep
ing scores of patriotic young Amer
leans of tried bravery, from offering
their lives to their country. They are
fighting here in France, the survivors
of five battalions of Americans who
joined the Canadian army to gain in
killing Germans Those who are liv-
ing and still taking their turn in the
trenches have seen hundreds of their
friends blown up by shells, choked by
gas or mown down by machine guns.
Although the new American army
could use these Americans, particular
ly the specialized officers, the transfer
appears to be blocked by the technic-
al fact that they alienated themselves
when they Joined the Canadians. To
join the American army they must
become Americans and to become Am
orleans they must journey home and
obtain their papers, Very few can
afford to do that. Besides, the Canad-
ian authorities are disposed to release
from fighting only those for whom the
American army make application.
This is the forlorn admission of one
officer who applied for an
American commission the day we de-
clared war. 81 have almost given up
hope of ever fighting with my own
army. Our fellows in the trenches
could certainly give them. some val
liable lessons in fighting. I wish it
would come to passive would like to
)e with our own people. But they
lon't seem to want u.s."

Watch Their Smoke

Whenever you're throwing your but

Whenever you're lighting a new

Just think of the fellows that sailed
away
And how you would like it, if you
were they,
And someone at home sent YOU
You finish the package, the devil you
carel
There are shops-and you've got
the money
It's a diamond sight different cover
There"
It's a damned long journey to God
Knows Where,
Yet THEY fight and YOU don't.
That's funny.
For War is mixture of various
Hells
From vermin and rats to stenches;
But it isn't damnable German shells,
Nor the mud or the blood or the gas
that tells
The most on the men in the trenches.
It's the. ice cold nights without ever
a smoke
It's the fire hot days that are
meaner;
And hospital ward amt so much of
joke
And there's only one thing that can
always provoke
A smile-that's Miss Nicotina!
Did you ever refuse him cigaret
When your pal hadn't any? I doubt
Today you have thousands of pals!
and yet
Tobacco is scarce at the front. I'll

EVEN BRAZIL is IN LINE

President Wilson sent message OF congratula-

great big country south lined against Germany
in the world war. In his message President Wilson
said Her action in this time of crisis binds
even closer of friendship which already uni
ted the.two republics
In the light this incident is compelled to spe-
culae on present status would have been had
the United followed the bad advice of rrespons

United States would find arrayed against her most
of the nations of South and Central America. They
would have been lined up with Germany and against

eous thing than when announced that it would never
acquire another of foreign territory by conquest

Who Are the Slackers!

Dick Donovan, deputy in the state
arm markets bureau, returned to
Boise a few days ago from trip
through the rural sections and said
found the farmers laboring under
he impression that the war is a
ich mans war and that they are
lerefore reluctant to buy bonds. He
aid further that the farmers have
God crops and will gladly buy when
ley have been made to see that they
ave been given the wrong impression
! their duty to their government.
All of which is the purest rot The
lrmers are just as intelligent as the
Iwnspeople, whom Donovan wants
go out and instruct them. They
i've read the newspaper and other
|urces of information as carefully as
le townspeopIe and know about the
Iuses of this war and how President
Hlson sed all honorable means to
Iep out of it and only went in when
heed to do so for the preservation of
b lives and property of American cit
Ems and to preserve the national
nor.
Amy farmer who says this is a rich

/ same thing when we expected to
at war with Mexico and would say

ton. Any man who makes that moss
back statement is a Stacker and is
using that as an excuse to cover up
his own lack of patriotism.
1t is no more true of farmers than
any other class of citizens. Slackers

tunately there are some in every class.
