SUPPLIES Will
Be PROTECTED
IN THIS STATE.
Sheriffs and Other Peace
Officers Called Upon by
Governor to Make Every
Effort to Safeguard Them.
Activity of German Spies
and Sympathizers Makes
it Necessary to Take Spe-
cial Precautions Supplies
Are for Carrying on War.

Idaho's supplies and crops ready for
shipment to eastern markets to assist
the government in carrying on the
present war, are not going to be burned
or otherwise destroyed if the arm of
the law can prevent it, for Governor
Alexander today issued a proclama-
ton calling on sheriffs and other peace
officers to take such steps as are nee
essary in their respective counties to
protect the supplies.
German spies and sympathizers will
have difficult time attempting to de-
stroy them in this state, if the spirit
of the proclamation is followed out to
the letter. The governors proclama-
tion follows:
Whereas, in this crisis of the ma
ton, conservation of food and the in
classification of production are potent
factors in winning the war, and,
Whereas, the state of Idaho, by the
diligence of her people has produced
an abundant supply of food, more than
ever before. and AS transportation ia
cilitieS in our state have been ham
pcred to a certain extent by the short
age of cars and the inability of the
transportation companies to move the
crops, it has become necessary to store
millions of dollars worth in value and
thousands of tons in weight in the var
ious elevators storehouses, warehouses
and other places until such time as the
movement of transportation will make
it possible to carry said products to
the eastern market and to the coasts
that it may be there used or transport
ed across the ocean to feed our allies
and our soldiers.

ARGENTINE TO
GIVE GERMANY
EIGHT DAYS
To Make Definite Reply OF
Break Relations
MESSAGE is THREAT
South American Republic is Tired Of
Notes Which Bring No Salts
factory Results.

Dissatisfied with the progress Of
negotiations with Germany growing
out of the sinking of the Argentine
steamer Toro, the Argentine govern
ment has broken off the discussions
that were being conducted with the
German minister at Buenos Aires and
has sent final, categorical note to
Berlin requiring clear and final re-
ply to the Argentine demands within
a reasonable time
The reply is expected within eight
days. During this time 1t will be de-
cided ii relations with Germany shall
be broken if the response from the
German foreign Office is negative.
The foreign minister and the German
minister had been discussing for the
past few days the question of the
sinking Of the Toro.
The reply from Germany had led
Argentina to believe that Germany
was disposed to agree to the demands
of Argentine vessels, even in the war
zone.
When II came to discussion of the
details of the conditions that was
taken up in Buenos Aires, however, II
began to, appear that when it came to
the final point Germany was not Will
ing to give complete satisfaction and
pledge herself to respect Argentine
vessels in the future. The breaking
off of the discussion with the German
minister and the sending of the new
note followed.

Wit Of Joseph choate.

Joseph Choate had decidedly nasal
roice, bnt 1t was beautiful voice,
resonant as some big gong. and his
rather uEsind wit was as genuine as
his courage. Every now and then his
wit was touched with beauty, as when
he said Of the freshmen dormitories at
Harvard that all they needed to make
them rivals Of the oxford college build
ings was Ivy and time. Mr.. Choate
took playful satisfaction in suddenly
chilling auditors whom he had careful
ly warmed. Speaking once at a boys
school, three of whose graduates had
acted as his secretaries when he was
ambassador, he delighted his audience
by his praise Of these secretaries
After enjoying the pleasure Of masters
and boys Mr.. Choate wound up by say

Fur naarina Animals.

The fur trade in this country has
grown TO such proportions as regards
It'll business value that naturally the
concern Of those engaged in 1t Is d.
rected to its permanency. Curiously
enough the prevalent opinion that fur

numbers Is not correct as regards those
animals which furnish the bulk of the
fur business.
There are a number OF fur bearing
animals which cannot exist in civilized
and thickly settled countries and which
consequently are fast dying out. But
muskrats, coons, skunks and some 9th

OF civilization, for such old and thick

largely to the fur trade, especially in

The ocean does not sink into the
earth owing to the fact that there is
kind OF substance at the bottom
of the ocean which the water can
not penetrate, in spite of the tremen-

deep water exerts. Inall places where
the bottom Of the ocean has covering

this is possible, by comparison, that

Mrs. De Saulles Tells of Kill
ing Her Husband
HE WAS DISAPPOINTED
When He Found She Had Only $780,.
900 and Got That Away From
Her Fast as Possible.

Mrs. Blanca ErraZuris de Saulles,
who is in the county Jail at Mineola,
l.. l., charged with first degree mur-
der for shooting her former husband.
John Longer de Saulles, was not heir
ess of millions at the time of her
marriage, as was generally believed,
but possessed fortune OF only $780,
600, according to statement made
last night by Henry A. Uterhart, her
attorney.
The lawyer declared that the mari
tai difficulties of Mr.. and Mrs. de
Saulles, which led to divorce de.
cree for her, began soon after she
learned that the vast Chilian fortune
she had expected to inherit had been
sQuandered by relatives and that her
wealth was only fragment Of what
it had been reputed
In his statement Uterhart alleged
that De Saulles got $4,000 from his
wife after their marriage; $37 900 in
cash and $4,000 in bonds, which he
spent. He declared his client had
been told by friends that De Saulles
borrowed the money with which he
went abroad to marry her in Paris.
Mre. De Saulles now is worth only
$4,000. the lawyer said.
Uterhart detailed many incidents
which he claimed had caused Mrs. De
Saulles to break down in health and
spirits. Reverting to the night of
the shooting the attorney declared
that when Mrs De Saulles started on
the quest of her four,years-old son.
who had gone to visit his father. she
did not expect to find her former hus-
band at home.
1t evidently was her plan, Pterhart
said. to carry off the boy before De
Saulles returned from his club, where
he was supposed to be dining. She
had been told by the De Saulles but
Ter over the telephone, the lawyer de-
clared, that Mr.. De Saulles was not
at home.
She then started for the De Saulles
cottage, hoping to reach there before
he returned. Uterhart asserted that
Mrs. De Saulles took revolver with
her for protection on her motor ride
over lonely roads in the dark and that
she had no intention of shooting De
Saulles until he refused to return
their son to her.
Mrs. De Saulles was more com
posed in her cell yesterday. although
she asks continually for her son. The
child was said to be still at the DE
