The Honors OF Atrocity

The Sultan of Turkey has graci-
ously conferred on the German
Kaiser the diamond star of the
Iftichar Order, Turkeys highest
war decoration, and the Kaiser has
decorated the Sultan with the star
and chain of the Hohenzollern Order
with diamonds.
The honors are even-the hero of
the Belgian and Lusitania murders
honors and is honored by the hero
Of Armenia massacres. No one will
question the deserving of the honors
or the respective fitness of the NUT
ual donors and recipients.
But to the intelligence and con-
science of the world a Liberty Loan
button, showing that an American
citizen has done his or her part in
support of our Government, is a
vastly more honorable decoration
than the diamond orders of the Sui
tan and the Kaiser. 1t signifies
only simple patriotic duty done;
but the diamond orders stand for
colossal infamy and murder. Tex.

Capital Correspondence

Your correspondent has been
rather negligent of late but there
are reasons. The Capital City is
such delightful place in which to
while the days as they come and go
that one forgets that Boise is not
the only place on earth.
An article published in one of the
city papers recently, eloquently de-
scribed the scenic beauties of the
northern part of this wonderful
state. Ample justice was done to
the mountains, lakes and rivers. 1t
was indeed interesting reading but
recent trip through the Boise
Valley convinced the writer that
IF there is paradise on earth it
is here, it is here!"
This wonderful valley stretches
away for miles and miles and the
roads are as near perfection as it is
possible to make them. On this
particular occasion the big auto
was at it's best. By diligent atten-
ton to business passenger could
count the telephone poles as he
passed but he had to hurry. Even
then the pace was not too fast for
one to observe that he was travel
ling through a broad level tract of
country that is as fertile as the
Garden of Eden. Many neat, tidy,
thrifty homes were seen and all
gave evidence of perfect content
ment on part of the inhabitants.
Fruit, hay, grain, cattle, hogs,
horses-in fact everything that
grows was most abundant. The
apple crop had Jared rather badly.
Its great quantity was too much for
the producer to handle. The result
was that thousands of bushels were
allowed to freeze either on or I'M
der the trees. The writer has seen
something of fertile valleys but
none superior to the one above
mentioned.
Despite the war these are pros
porous times. The villages passed
through were all fourishing. At
our stopping point, Payette, was
found a most thriving city. New
buildings of a most substantial
character have sprung up and a
profitable business in all lines is
easily noted. While in the city we
met an even hundred men sitting at
banquet table in the brand new
hotel. There was not crouch or
; a knocker in the lot. Surely these
; are prosperous times and the farmer
; and the fruit grower is coming into
his own, and this beautiful valley
in ten years from now will be one
, of the wonders of this great state.

From San Jusn Hill
Dear Folks:

Dear Folks:
Just must drop you a line to let
you know that we are all o. K.
here in Cuba. The weather is cold
here though and the wind has been
blowing the last two days and it is
probably getting ready to rain.
We have moved from our old
camp at Guantamona Bay to much
better place, right on the old battle
ground where one of the big battles
was fought in 1898. We had a
busy time when we built our new
camp as we had to cut the brush
away and fill up the old military
trenches before we could find a
place to pitch our tents. As soon
as we had the camp Strengthened
around we built roads, which was
great sport. You can't imagine
how fast big bunch of men can
build a road. We sure built fine
one.
Since we got settled down we
have been having an easy time of
it. We get liberty every night
from six until twelve. We drill
about four or five hours each day.
We have taken up the army style
of drill now in the manual of arms
which is going to be hard at first.
Our company hasn't tried it as we
are having hikes and machine gun
drill. The list company is the ma
chine gun company for this regi-
ment.
We have infantry drill and ma
chine gun drill and police work
every day. Every soldier must lie
we'll trained before he goes into the
trenches and that is going to take
much work yet. We have taken up
all the trench warfare and are get.
ting ready to do our part as soon as
we are called upon. But maybe
we will never go to France. We
may be ready to leave tonight and
then we may stay here for a num-
Der of months.
Anyone wishing to write to me
will find me at the following ad.

Corps, Company E and like the
bunch quite we'll. Our work is to

The food is quite as good as we
have a right to expect and our quar-

you read of the review that took
place before Major General Greene
1t looked fine. The worst of it was
we had to march four miles at at
tention and everyone was getting
tired before it was over.
We are having fine weather now.
Only week or so of rain.
Hope everything is moving along
fine at Kendrick and will ask you to
give my best regards to the people
there.
We may be moved any time so
we don't know much about where
we will be week ahead.
Best Wishes.

Improvements DELAYED

The unfavorable weather condi.
tions have forced the contractors to
discontinue the making of sidewalks
and this branch of the improvement
work will be abandoned until spring,
as it is thought unadvisable to take
anr chances on frozen cement in the
walks. This does not mean that
there will be no more work done in
the improvement district, however,
as the engineer is getting the work
outlined to start action on the sew.

Red Cross Working

1t is an inspiration to visit the
Red Cross Rooms and see the splen-
did work that has been done and is
being done. Tuesday, two large
boxes were filled with miscellaneous
supplies, neatly packed by Mr.. Flor
ance, who is an expert along that
line. The following list of articles
in the two boxes will give general
idea of the amount of sewing neces-
sary to complete set, as the two
boxes contain less than half the
amount necessary for the equip
ment: IL dozen large sheets. 8
dozen pairs pillow cases, IL dozen
towels, a dozen turkish bath towels,
3 dozen wash cloths, the contents of
one box; 5 dozen shoulder wraps, 2
dozen bed socks, 40 dozen handker-
chiefs, 20 dozen table napkins, s
dozen tray covers, were packed in
the other. Each bundle of articles
has to be neatly tied with tape and
packed in box lined with white
paper.
1t is estimated that the supplies
in stock at the local headquarters
are worth in the neighborhood of
81, 900.
Sam Callison is doing great work
as president of the organization and
is spending most of his time, looking
after the many details on which the
success Of the work depends.
Too much cannot be said for the
faithful work done by the ladies.
The attendance at the regular sew.
ing hours is better than ever but
there are many who are not doing
their part and it is to be hoped that
they will come to realize the grave
necessity of the work and will
eventually offer their services.
Their isn't a man or woman in
this entire community who cannot
afford to join the Red Cross. The
fact of the matter is, no one can af'
ford not to join. While the Red
Cross Membership Drive is on, would
be a good time to join. Send in
your name and a dollar and have
the satisfaction of feeling that you
are one of the Red Cross.

Allen-Meyer Case Dismissed

On motion of the county attor-
ney, Frank L. Moore, the probate
judge dismissed the complaint maze
against Henry Meyer and Fred
Allen, Monday and the bows are
now at liberty and will not be held
in any manner on account of the
complaint on which they were arres-
ted.
The boys were arrested purely on
suspicion and there has been no ev-
idence brought to light since their
arrest that would indicate in any
way that they had anything to do
with the safe cracking here. 1t is
only reasonable to suppose that
professionals did the work. 1t is to
be regretted that the arrest was
made.

Over And Back Again
Norfolk, Va.

DSSs 4cA
We have been over to England
and have seen a few things that l
never expected to see in my life
time. We left the U. S. A. Octo-
Der 26, l believe, and it took us
thirty-two days to get back to the
good old United States. England
may be all right, but America for
mine.
We were landed at Davenport,
England and adjacent to Plymouth,
a city of about 100000, Davenport
having in the neighborhood of
10000 and there is a town between
with about 10000, making in all a
city of about 100000, as they are
all Incorporated as Plymouth.
The people are to me, peculiar.
Their ways are quaint and they talk
in peculiar manner. l could I'M
derstand their talk all right but in
counting their coin l was at sea for
while as it seemed to me they
have no system and the less coin
is worth the larger it is. A coin
called two pence is as large as our
four-bit piece, so you can imagine
what a pocketful person can have
and still not have much either.
l did not go over to London as l
imagined the trip would be too ex-
pensive, although wish now that |
had gone, because the fellows who
did go, said the trip was worth any
price as it was magnificent. Then
they also saw the wreck wrought
by the zeppelins which they say was
quite interesting.
Our trip over had few thrills
We did not see any subs but never
theless we fired twice and the Hunt
ington near US. seven times. The
morning on which we fired we were
seated at the breakfast table just at
broad daylight, which is the time
subs are dangerous, when bang
went our after three-inch gun on
the port side and bang. again in a
very few seconds. Can you picture
a bunch of stampeded cattle? Well,
that was us! Tables, dishes, bench.
es, grub, all went heller SHELTER,
here and there, as everyone rushed
to his station. After few minutes
of very alert watch, during which
time nothing more occurred that
looked suspicious, we hurried bach
to our fast cooling meal. All went
we'll after that until we'll towarG
one o'clock of that same day. wher
the Huntington got busy firing {
while at what appeared to me to b.
our wake.
We arrived in port safely aftel
a very hard voyage as the sea wa
rough, the wind blowing in gale
and the rain falling in sheets, max
ing it necessary to batten down tn
air vents. which made the air thicl
and impure.
y We came gosh darned near run
ming out of coal coming over
Thought for a few days that w
would have to be lowed in, whicl
would have caused us to suffer il
dignity. We coaled ship the after
noon we arrived and the whole mex
day. Coaling ship is no easy matte
for the band as they have to pla
all the time. We were all in tn
night they finished. We will hav
more leisure now and l will writ
more later.-Walter Thomas.
