DEAN HULME SPEAKS ON
"LIBERTY AND THE ALLIES"
Tells University Students What Each
Nation Has Contributed to the
Great Cause

Liberty and the Allies was the
subject of an address delivered this
morning before a university assembly
audience by Dean Edward M. Hulme.
He stressed the various contributions
which the different allied nations
have made to the spirit of liberty, say
ing that England had given practical
ity, that France had offered rational
element that Italy had made liberty
beautiful and that the United States
had infused it with energy and had
mae it progressive.
"The American spirit of liberty" he
said, "is something more than the age
long feeling of England from which it
sprang. 1t has become imbued with
the spirit of initiative and of prac-
tical expediency, but its product is
the strong and sturdy embodiment OF
our national life"
Dean Hume closed with a warm ex-
preston of confidence in the ability
of american characteS resting on a
base of granite" to emerge victorious
from the present world conflict.

RED CROSS SEALS
IN GREAT DEMAND
LOCAL COMMITTEE MAKES GOOD
USE OF THE POSTOFFICE LOB
BY IN CAMPAIGN

The response to the sale of Red
Cross Christmas seals exceeds the
most sanguine prediction. At the
postoffice yesterday over 1000 seals
were sold. A committee will be on
duty there until Christmas day, the
object being to solicit purchases only
of those who have not had an oppor-
tunity to buy elsewhere. Many Wis
itors at the postoffice yesterday had
NOT yet neard of the campaign and
were glad to respond when the sales
woman explained that the money
would be used in war work to pro-
tect the lives of soldiers.
The letters replying to the mail
sales soliciting show splendid and
generous spirit F. S. Curtiss,
prominent merchant of Deary to whom
100 seals had been sent, wrote his
check for $3.50 and said he did not
care for the additional $50 seals.
Other generous patrons from over
the county were: F. G. Gibson,
Deary; j. A. Harsh, Deary; G. V.
Johnson, Troy; E. w. Porter, Juliaet-
ta; L. G. Verdon, Bovill.

turned in $110 this morning.
Many inquiries are made as to how
much the average gift should be. If
every family gave SO Moscow would
meet the demand, reckoning defaulters,
a round figure of $500 would guaran-
tee the quota But conscience and sym
pathy will direct most people.
Only some $3.50 was in sight this
morning. Latah county must get busy
to raise this to $4,000 by the end of

severe jolt through the arrest of F.

County Benevolent, Church, Fraternal

Withholding the books of the company
from it's officers and stockholders.
Campbell languishes in Jail for the
want of a $500 bond while officers of
the society are endeavoring to
strengthen out the tangled affairs of
the concern. They announce inten-
ton of continuing the cooperative
selling plan regardless of the outcome
of the action against Campbell
The scheme has attracted much in

Something over 500 names have been
claimed in membership, each person
paying 81 initiation and 25 cents
monthly dues.
Coal, wood, flour and foodstuffs
were bought in quantities and deliv-
cred to members of the organization
at prices far under those charged by
regular dealers. The society has seen
a rapid growth and now that it is in
trouble, opponents of the plan are de-
claring that the whole thing is i'm
possible of success, while supporters
of the movement are equally insistent
that the idea is thoroughly feasible.

DO CABLES CONNECT
ENGLAND AND GERMANY? I?
From Argentina Comes the Story Of
Secret International Link

BUENOS AIRES-Submarin cable
experts in Buenos Aires, strongly sus-
pect the existence of cable con-
nection between some northern point
on the English or Scottish coast or one
of the imme diately adjacent British
islets to the northward and port on
the German seaboard, Emden being
most frequently mentioned.
It is hard to tell whether this sur
mise is based only upon mere guesses
by the cable experts here, upon hints
from England or upon both theory and
definite information.
Anyway the story is current in
"well-informed circles
The supposition is that the cable,
if one actually is in operation, was
secretly laid before the war began,
though perhaps a connection was not
finally established until later, and that
it has been in operation ever since
The men who advance this supposi-
tion say the work of German air raid
erS upon the Engl1Sn coast anu lu'o
the interior has been so accurate ana
up-to-date as practically to preclude
the idea that the Germans lack tele-
graphic information. They assert that
the operation of secret wireless sta
ton of sufficient range to convey such
information from the British Isles is

county farm expert, believes 1918 will
see even a larger acreage devoted to
pea growing than was used in this

crop for 1917 was worth 100000 and
this was on land which would have
been idle had it not been turned to
pea growing. There have been
number of calls for data and instruc-
ton on pea growing from communl-
ties outside of Spokane county.

SPORT PLAYS PART

YOUNG AMERICAN TO HAVE EVERY
OPPORTUNITY FOR ATHLETIC
DEVELOPMENT

NEW YORK = Football, baseball,
track and field athletics-all the sports
known to America are running the
gamut of approval in every canton
ment, both national army and National
guard, in the United States.
Never before in the history of the
United States army and navy has such
a flocking to the colors of sport taken
place. After the war ends sports
should have such firm grip on the
youth of the land that it should en-
joy the greatest patronage it ever saw.
The reason is the war, and the effect
is to loosen the tense seriousness of
getting ready for this job of ridding
the world of kaiseristic war maniacs.
Coast to Coast
From California to New York and
for the same inclusive expanse up and
down the map sports are gripping the
of youngsters. Boys who
never before saw a first class football
game, star boxer, record-holding
athlete, star ball player and the
other idols of youth are enjoying
glimpses of the highest type of ath-
letics. They are learning to do the
things in athletics the way they are
done by the best athletes in the world
because these men are teaching them.

are living clean, healthy lives. They
