.SUPER|ORWAR |. COUNCIL AIDS ALL NATIONS
 OF THE ALLIES
French Premier Tells of the Formation and of the War Mapped Out For the Inter- Allied War Council Now Sitting.
CBy Review Leased Wire)

PARIS. Nov. 13.-The new inter. allied war committee was character. :zed as a superior war council'' in a declara ion read by Premier Painleve in both the senate and chamber Of deputies today.
 We do not doubt that the United States. whose troops have been sum- inoned to light upon this front, will give their adhesion 10 this council" said he Negotiations concerning the other fronts will ultimately be car ried on with Russia and Japan
 The object of the council is n to direct the details of military opera tions, but to define the general war policy and the general plans of the allies. so as to assure the strongest result possible.
 Two Representatives
 "The council comprises two repre- sentatives of each government. Nor mally it will meet in France, at least once a month The decisions of the council are not tainted by any partic- ularism. as they embrace the battle fields as a whole. They will have to be ratified by the respective govern ments.
 We have heard already the objec- tion that it is a united command we need. not a conservative committee. All plans are open to criticism, and I am far from saying that the step we have taken is the last in the pro- gress to be accomplished, but it is wise to bring into being what is pos sible instead of waiting for months to obtain something better"
 Supreme Command
 M. Painleve said that if a single supreme command some day were pos sible it would have the need of pre- cisely such an inter-allied staff as now would be created by the superior war council.
 The premier said the British and French omthander-in-chiefs had come to an arrangement for the extension Of the British front at an early date. which it would be injudicious to men tion exactly. Great Britain and France he concluded, had reached a complete agreement respecting the provisioning of the two countries, which would be put into immediate execution.

rous educators this state, through its
chief executive, has made unbeara-
BILE for a self-respecting educator to
remain in. No state in the northwest
had three more capable men in the
employ of its state educational sys-
tenn than did Idaho when Brannon,
Black and Sisson were working in
harmony and giving to the state of
Idaho the reputation of possessing
the best possible talent OF any Of the
northwestern states. All three men
were acknowledged by educators and
their names stood at the top of their
profession. Idaho became known
through them as a state standing
foremost in the northwest and among
states too, which were paying much
greater sums for their educational
institutions than is Idaho.

that led each in turn to abandon a
field Of endeavor in which they were
interested and giving the best serv-
ice of ripe careers.
Among educators Idaho is today a
place to be Stunned. 1t has become
a joke. The narrow prejudice OF a
man who looks upon his office as

with ignorance and sublime effront-

REFORM WORK IS ON AT
/. IDAHO PENITENTIARY

Boise, May 19.--Work of bringing
reforms into the state penitentiary
to improve conditions therein, par
ticularly with the prisoners them
selves, has started. The last legis-
lature, at the suggestion of a COM
mission Of citizens in touch with the
prisoners, passed laws providing for
better education and a school at
which prisoners could be instructed,
and also created the position OF pa
role officer.
The prison board appointed the
Rev. James Leitch as that officer.
He has opened his work with a d.
rect appeal to the prisoners, in
which he tersely said in part: II
will do my best for you, but every
thing depends on you. The warden
and his co-workers will do their best.
Now what are you going to do? II
you expect to make any gain you
must plan to meet the warden and
his helpers 'fifty-fifty.' Will you do
It? II you do 1t will be much
easier for all concerned. believe
that every one of you are going to
do his best to make this institution
one of the best of it's kind"
Ever since the liberation of Fred
M. Coleman. former deputy state
treasurer, who confessed to and was
incarcerated for embezzling $22 900
state funds, the prison board has
been active in making a canvass and
classification Of the prisoners with
a view to either paroling or pardon
ing those who have served long sen.
fences for minor crimes The re-
suit ia that many of the prisoners
who had little hope of immediate
release have been given q chance

 Plainville Loses, 21-6.
 In a fiercely contested football game staged yesterday afternoon at Aliens field between the All Stars of Plairf- vile and the Tigers of New Britain, the local aggregation were taken into camp to the tune of 21-6 score. AL though the home boys played good ball they had to succumb to the on- slaught of the warriors from the Hard ware city. The game for next Sun day has not been announced yet. More Letters Received.
 Letters of exemption were received at the post office this morning for a number of the young men of the town. Each missive contained one of the exemptions buttons which are to be worn to show that the wearer has been discharged from military duty temporarily. Those who received the letters were exempted either for physical reasons, or because they have dependents. It is thought most of the claims have been acted upon and that those who are to leave with the last fifteen per cent. will receive their notices in a few days. Tn order to make room. for the last offering from the various towns and cities in New England, drafted men at Aver are constantly being assigned to na- tional guard companies and other branches of the service.

ID 0PURCHASE BONDS . FROM LOCAL BANK
American Paper Goods Company to Subscribe in Berlin
TOWN TO GET CREDIT
From Liberty Loan
 Committee of New England-Gr1f-
 etb Eeannointcd Personal Tax Enumerator-Celebr Birthday.

! In order that Berlin may receive kcredit for subscriptions taken by local ,employes at the American Paper Goods company, officials at the fac tory stated this morning that efforts would be made by the concern to sub- scribe for Liberty Bonds through the Berlin Savings Bank. In the last campaign, the Paper Goods company purchased their bonds through New Britain banks, and although number of these subscriptions indirectly came into the possession of local employees, Berlin received no credit for their sale. In order that this town may be able to raise the quota allotted, Mrs. Charles M. Jarvis called on the fac tory officials and enlisted their aid.
 At the Berlin Construction com- pany it was stated by MT. Robinson, the treasurer, that no plans had been made by the concern for securing bonds. He added that in the last campaign the bonds were purchased through their banking house in New Britain. He denied that the subscrip- tions were bought in Hartford as was reported.
 Chairman Francis Deming has re- ceived 8 communication from the Liberty Loan committee of New Eng land indicating clearly how Berlin may receive credit for subscriptions to which they are entitled and which are purchased in other cities.
 -The letter follows in part:
 "In view, of the general plan which was adopted of alloting to each dis trict a certain quota of the second r hoe waQ1th n the community, it seems only fair that the various cities and towns throughout this district should have credit for subscriptions which orig mate in the districts from actual resi- dents or corporations who are as- sessed therein.
 "In the natural course of events some of the subscriptions, originating from towns located near large f1nan- cial centers, will be entered through banks and bond houses located else where. A plan has been adopted by the committee whereby If any district knows of subscriptions of its residents Aefng placed outside the district, and such district will notify the bank in which the subscription is filed. to formerly advise the committee of the date name. subscriber and amount said district will be given immediate credit on the books of the Liberty Loan committee, without making any change whatsoever in the actual filing arfd handling of such subscription.'
 Those in charge of the last cam naign in Berlin believe that this de- cision will obliterate the injustice done to this town in the last drive.

Loyal Men in Party

The drift Of the New York Socialist
contingent, in which Hillquit played
more and more important role. was
soon so manifestly un-American that
loyal American Socialists began to
grow FESTIVE. On March % J. G. Phelps
Stokes, Charles Edward Russell, Upton
Sinclair and others objected to the at

ing national defence. Oddly enough,
too, "The New York Call" as late as
March 26-now, a firm supporter OF
Hillquit's anti-everything platform
admitted that real Socialists the world
over AGED with what Hillquit be-
lioved b r-e the United States entered

Then Hllquit began grooming the

of the OOUernment and support the
workers in "mass uprisings

scription.
1t is pertinent at this point to recall
that in February, 1915, Hillquit eX-
pressed the view that Socialists as a
whole we're not opposed TO defensive
warfare such as Belgium was waging,
and committed himself in favor Of COM
pulsory military service on the Swiss
militia plan. But all this had to be
changed il the Socialist party was TO
help the Kaiser by keeping the United
States from becoming a formidable
military power As early, therefore, as
March II "The New York Call" printed
a story which naively showed how Hill
quit and his crowd we're developing
their plans for an anti-war, anti-con-
scription stand A Congressman from
a New York district was 20 be elected
in April, so the story ran. Calling
upon the opponents Of war and mill

ard, the announcement continued, the
inference being clear: "Both old par

Hillquit in the present campaign has
repeatedly boosted that he did not
"stand behind the President"
