Adiutant General Writes With Refer

tiOnaI Guard Company.

In response to the recent action of
the Chamber of Commerce with refer
ence to the organization of a National
Guard company, Scott Ogden, the Sec
retary of the chamber, is in receipt of
the following communication from the
adiutant general at Boise:
My Dear Scott:4
AS far as we know at the present
time there will not be Third Idaho
under state regulations. If there is,
however, Moscow will be given an op-
portunity to show her claims. In fact
rather suspect that Latah county
will be given an opportunity under the
draft as the tentative arrangements Of
the draft are to recognize those coun-
ties that have not done a great deal
toward supplying men.
I will keep you informed and
through you, the good people of Mos
COW, and Latah county, as to matters
that may transpire.

Crisis Draws Nearer i'm the Affairs of
Spain, Norway and other
European Nations

LONDON-It is expected that the
next few days will bring crisis in
the Spanish situation. Premier Da-
tos decree instituting martial law is
reported to have caused additional un-
rest 1t is believed that the revoca-
ton of the constitutional guarantees
will either strengthen the govern
ment or cause an immediate coalition
of all the elements of discomfort over
coming the monarchy.
Norway has reached a crisis in her
German relations. Judging. from in
formation received here there is rea-
son to believe that Norway Will re-
fuse to submit to Germany's arrogant
demand on commerce and shipping
despite the desperate efforts to main
tain peace.
The Petrograd congress of work
men and soldiers has decided to send
a delegation of six members soon to
Stockholm, England and France to
urge peace conference at an early
date on the basis and aims the
workmen and soldiers announced.

BERLIN-Agitation for the immed-

papers, strongly conservative in their

leading the way.
The historian, Professor Otto Huntz
has just given out statement in
which he says:
1--WE Prussians cannot stand alone
in the midst of Germany, of Europe
and of the whole world in resisting
liberalization. We are threatened
with dangerous isolation from the
