The latter, his cheeks scarlet, reeled and clutched at the table.
 His first impulse was to hit back l; but, with self-possession, he drew him. self up, clicked his heels together and saluted without a word.
 The kaiser, his face white as paper, turned and left the cabin.
 I stood aghast.
 "Well," exclaimed Rudolph at last, "he shall pay for that blow, even though he be emperor" l" and he strode out, leaving me speechless with sur prise.
 A few minutes later I ascended to the deck in order to refresh my mud dled senses. I was walking up the deck when suddenly saw before me several of the personal suite, who sa- luted as the kaiser, naughty and erect, passed with quick, angry step.
 As he approached I saw a figure emerge and stand in his path. It was that of Won Lantzsch. The kaiser lifted his hand, and, with some imperiOus words, struck the man who stood in his path. In a second Von Lantzsch, in a fury of passion, raised his fist, planting a direct blow at the emperor's jaw and sending him spinning against some deck chairs. Wild shouts arose from the officers who had been chatting near, two of whom rushed towards the emperor, but the latter had instantly recovered himself, and with a grim smile con- tfnued his walk and went below.
 Naturally, we all expected the hus- sar captain to be put under arrest. But he was not. He entered my cabin smiling and merry an hour afterwards the only man who had dared to give back blow for blow to the emperor.
 A Midnight Command.
 Among the entourage there was, of course, much gossiping. The cause of the fracas was to them a complete mystery. What had occurred previ- ously in my cabin was unknown to them, and as a'1oyal servant of his majesty at that time it was not my place to reveal anything whatsoever of a private nature. Therefore the amount of whispering that went on on board that evening may be readily imagined.
 Just before midnight, as was about to turn in, received a command to go to the emperor's cabin wherein he worked.

EDITORIAL NOTE. - William Le- Queux, who here chronicles for his friend, Count Ernst von HeltzendOrR, the latter's revelations of the inner life of the imperial German court, has long been recognized throughout Eu- rope as the pOssessor of its fnnermOst secrets.
 The English "Who's Who" says of him: "He has intimate knowledge of the secret service of Continental coun- tries and Is considered by the govern ment (of Great Britain) an authority on such matters.o Another authority saysi ssFew people have been more closely as- sociated with or know more of the astounding inner machinery of Ger many than he.'
 LeQueux probably has more sources of secret Information at his command than any contemporary in civil life, and for the last six years the British Gov ernment has made valuable use of his vast store of secret information through a specially organized department with which LeQueux works a voluntary assistant
 Count von HeltzendOrf became an in timate of LeQueux several years prior to the outbreak of the war; he has been living in retirement in France since August, 1914, and it was there that Le- Queux received from the crown princes late personal adjutant permission to make public these revelations of the inner life of the HohenzOllerns-tha the democracies of the world might come to know the real, but heretofore hidden, personalities of the two domi- uant members of the autOcracy 1t Is now arrayed against.

lndisputabIy the Most Terrible Instrument of Defense,
 Says Observer.
BIG GUNS OFTEN INACCURATE
While Necessary in Offensive Warfare Heavy Artillery Is Not in Same Class With Machine Guns
 In Defensive Tactics.
BY A FRENCH SOLDIER.

tn the Cn1caSO Oally NeWS.) Paris.-Months of furious assault on the French lines at Verdun, which have brought into play the most pow erfu1 known means of attack, have barely succeeded in bending the ad- versary's lines. There is, it is true, a diminution of forces on both sides, and one may look forward to the day when the accumulation of material and the superiority in numbers of men on the side of the allies will enable the latter to break more rapidly the adversary's tenacious resistance.
 But why is 1t, one asks, that despite the accumulation of heavy cannon it costs so much in men and money and time to break the enemy's resistance? It is because this war is being fought in period of development of the art of war, in which the means of defense are vastly superior to the means of ofense in the facility with which they can be brought into action and manu- factured at low cost, and above all in tbeir efficacy, arising both from the difficulty which the adversary finds in demolishing them, and from the abso- lute accuracy of their aim.
 Means of Defense.
 To understand this one has merely to review the means of defense at the disposal of the armies in the field First, besides the trenches, and the barbed wire that prevents access to them, which are the basis of the pres ent system of defense, and of which the shell hole wherein the soldier con- ceals himself from the enemy, is but a variation, the two great arms of de fense are the machine gun and the "75" cannon, the last resort of the French army and one of the great de- lenders of Verdun.
 In the factory there is nothing easier or relatively cheaper to make than the machine gun. And at the front there is nothing simpler to trans port than this light arm, whic, three

On entering I found him seated aa his table, his uniform tunic unb1.6 toned, his hair slighly ruff1ed, by which knew that he had been writing hard.
 "Von Heltzendorff," he said, as I stood beside his table, "you were wit ness of the insults placed upon me this afternoon. Does anyone except our selves know what occurred in your cabinY'
 T have not told a soul, your ma- jesty," was my reply. "But the officer who has raised his hand against the sovereign to whom he swore allegiance may have done! ]" he said. 'There is but one way in which he may atone for his offense against majesty. Hand this to him."
 And he gave me a letter addressed in his own hand-addressed with all Von LantZsch's titles and distinctions. It was sealed with the emperor's we'll known black wax.
 Ten minutes later handed the cap- tain the emperor's letter. He tore it open, read its contents, and then gave queer, nervous laugh, it seemed to me. Thanks, Heltzendorff. It was my turn tonight to be on duty with his majesty, but did not feel equal to it. Goodnight"
 Early next morning one of the i'm perial stewards entered and, awaken ing me, asked me to go to Captain Won Lantzsch's cabin.
 On entering found him lying dead on his berth with blood oozing from a pistol wound in the temple. Upon the little shelf of the folding washstand was a note addressed to me.
 On opening it I found these words | scrubbed in pencil: Dear Heltzendorff: I have taken my life at the order of his majesty. Am I not a loyal subject after all?- Rudolph"
 By noon the body of the kaiser's | victim had been landed at Bodo, where 1t now reposes in the little cemetery beneath those high snow-e1ad crags which rise against the gray, turbulent sea.

or four men can carry as they run. Its aim is most accurate; it can, when necessary, fire from 500 to 600 car tridges per minute, sowing death on every side with incredible speed. But against a trench it is powerless, and therefore it is pre-eminently the arm of defense. When properly handled, 1t is so redoubtable that one alone has been known to stop an entire regi- ment. It is indisputably the most ter rtble instrument of war.
 Yet a well-directed battery of ''75'' cannon, sweeping space of ground, is more certain to leave nothing alive.
 These, then, are the primordial means of defense, to which naturally are to be added the numerous rifles of the defenders of the trenches, those trenches in which are invisible loop holes where the enemy awaits our ap- pearance.
 Heavy Shells for Offense.
 What are the adversary's means of annfhilating these hidden, powerful de lenses? Only heavy artillery; the large shell, the huge torpedo, the heavy pro- jectile of steel, inclosing a violent ex- plosive, Is capable of demolishing a netting, of demoralizing those occu. pants of the trench whom 1t does not kill and keeping the adversary's nerves on edge by the menace of its sudden arrival several kilometers behind the lines. Thus the means of offensive are the heavy cannon, the large trench mortars, the large caliber howitzers, the formidable marine gun mounted op rails, all that is longest, most difficult and costly to manufacture, to trans. port, to set in motion. A machine gun can be installed anywhere in two min utes or less. A month is required to install the 1920" trench mortar. To put naval gun on rails in running order necessitates months of work and the installation of a railway. Even guns that are easy to handle, such as the "155," are moved with difficulty; at times 1t takes two or three days to place them in a battery.
 And this is not all. The heavy ar. tillery is naturally less accurate than the field artillery. When one consid- CTS that heavy guns soon wear out, as the big gun can fire only a more or less limited number of shots, as its caliber increases, and as it must constantly be replaced, one understands why it is so much easier to take the defensive than the offensive, and why the situa- ton on the western front, at all points well defended, was stationary for so long a time before the means of at tack were sufficient to permit of an offensive.

Soc cir Patriotism
Contribute To Liberl, Bonds And Vote
To Protect The Members OF The So
ciety at War.

Patriotism was dominant note in
the proceedings of the called meet
ing of the Idaho Society of Architects
which met in the rooms of the Poca-
tello Commercial club to consider mat
ters of general interest to the mem
bers and for the public good.
The association, which was attend
ed by President Burton e. Morse and
Secretary e. II. Gates of this city,
voted to protect the interests of the
members who have gone to war and
to remit all dues and charges against
them while away, and also voted TO
purchase $500 worth of liberty bonds.
Inasmuch as the building laws of
the state are generally admitted to be
insufficient and inadequate, it was
agreed to appoint committee to draft
proposed legislation for submission to
the next state Legislature. Provision
was made for the holding of a public
exhibit of architectural drawings at
the annual meeting in Boise January
g.
The following are the resolutions:
Whereas, several members of this
society have been or will be called
to the service of our country in the
present war, it seems eminently fit
ting that the members of this society
pledge themselves to make the per-
sonal loss and sacrifice of those go
ing, as small as possible.
Be it therefore resolved, that each
member pledge himself to do all in
his power in behalf of those archi-
tects who enter the service of the
United States either directly or indi-
rectly in the present war.
And to further agree to take over
the practice of any such architect, il
requested, carry his work through fol
him in his name, accept no persona
! commission on his work, keep his
name in evidence, paying all expenses
incurred out of the payments accru
ing to him and render a complete ac
counting to him or his estate when al
is finished And further, to protec
his clientele and his reputation in 81
far as lies within our power to do so
Be it further ordered, that the dues
of such members of this society, b,
remitted to them until such time a,
they may return to their respectiv,
communities and to active practice.
The following committees were ap
pointed:
On Practice, to report to annua

BOISE, Nov. 1T is reported upon
what is considered good authority that
the state land board has practically
decided upon the method of elimina-
ton to be used in reducing both the
Salmon and Oakley irrigation tracts
to the acreage recommended by the L.
s. land commissioner and ratified by
action of the board.
The method to be adopted, accord
ing to the authority indicated, will be
to send an adjuster to both tracts,
who will make a careful examination,
in company with a representative of
the settlers and of the company, and
decide upon each specific forty foT
which a patent shall be secured II
is expected that both the report of the
state engineer and of the government
engineer will be taken into considera-
ton in making this final adjustment.

upon from time to time for temporary
work at Washington, u. G., or for work
on national committees. Among such
mentioned should representative law
yers, bankers, merchants and engi-
neers who upon short notice will be
able to devote considerable time to
national service, Mr.. Bickneli asks
that such men communicate their
names to him Mt Boise giving him an
adequate description of their capabil-
lty.

Bishop O'Reilly Speaks
on Patriotism
Declares 1t Duty of All to Support
Nation in War Declared by the
Lawful Civil Authorities of the
United States.

, The Catholic congregation of ST.
/ Edwards church in Twin Falls and
OF the Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception at Bull, were much edited
Sunday and Monday by the visit of Rt.
Rev. Charles ]. O'Reilly,. bishop of the
diocese of Baker, Ore, who confirmed
large classes in both cities and dedi
Gated the Euhl church.
Bishop O'Reilly came to perform the
episcopal offices named because of the
vacancy created by the death of the
late Rt. Rev. A. j. Glorieux, bishop of
Boise, to whom a successor has not
yet been named. He arrived Saturday
and during the time not engaged in
religious duties was escorted by
members of the congregation over the
tract and to Great ShOshone falls. He
expressed the greatest surprise and
admiration for Twin Falls and the
country round about and declared that
though he expected much, he had no
idea that it was so prosperous and
well developed as he found it to be.
Bishop OReilly celebrated the early
mass here at which thirty-three chill
dren. received first Holy Communion,
ana delivered an appropriate sermon.
After this mass the first communicates
were entertained at breakfast at the
'OSlOIy dS guests VI IuS pastor, lNef'
NJ P. Hahn.
High mass, which was sung by
Father Hahn, was offered up in COM
pliance with the request of President
Wilson, for success of American arms
and for peace with justice. At this
mass Bishop O'Reilly spoke on the du-
b, ties of citizens to their country under
I. the law of God as laid down in the
y molly scriptures.
At o'clock in the afternoon a class
of sixty-six was confirmed. On this
occasion Bishop O'Reilly spoke from
the text: "Then they laid their hands
upon them and they received the
Holy Ghost" After the confirmation
ceremonies the members of the first
communion class were enrolled in the
scapular This service closed with
solemn benediction.
The altar was artistically decorated
with roses, carnations and other flow
ers and presented a beautiful appear
}Aance. The singing of the choir was OF
'*Ehe highest order and was cOmpli-
n mented warmly by Bishop O'Reilly
W who said that it was among the very
4 best in the northwest. The congrega-
tion was greatly pleased with all the
services and the sermon of the visiting
bishop.
Monday Bishop O'Reilly, accompan-
led by Father Hahn went to Buh
where a class of twenty-five were con.
firmed, and where the church was ded
