Before one of the most representa-
tive bodies OF Boise business and
professional men ever gathered at
the commercial club and at a lunch
con in his honor last Tuesday, the
Capital News says that Howard v.
Platt, vice president and general
manager of the Oregon Short Line,
in speaking about the coal short
age made the important announce
ment that arrangements had been
perfected at cost of better than
$4,0OO,00O, whereby the Oregon
Short Line would by next fall have
a direct route to Utah coal fields,
heretofore denied that line except
ing through d. & r. G. connections.
This announced solution of Idaho's
coal troubles in the future was
greeted by prolonged applause by the
200 club members at the luncheon.
Mr.. Platt says the Wyoming mines,
on the Oregon Short Line and Union
Pacific, during the past year has been
unable to secure the services of more
than SO per cent of their normal
working force. At all times, said
Mr.. Platt, there had been plenty of
cars at the mines to move all the
output. In Utah there had been
enough to work the mines. but the
Oregon Shore Line and Union Pacific
had been forced to depend on the D.
G. r. G.
Mr.. Plat said the Short Line had
done everything in its power to re-
leye the situation and he was glad
to report that while it had been
critical at many points, there had
been no actual suffering from coal
shortage. This was due, he said, to
efforts put forth by the operating de-

MSS LILLIS BIRCH GOES TO
BURI4EY AS CHIEF OPERATOR

The Examiner is always glad to
chronicle the advancement of any
of Montpelier's citizens. especially
the young people, in their chosen
line of work, and we are pleased
this week to note the promotion of
Miss L!llis Birch, who has been
chief operator at the telephone ex-
change for the past year and a half
Miss Birch has been called to take
similar position in the exchange
at Burley, and will leave for there
next Monday. En- route she will
spend a few days visiting with
friends in Pocatello and incidentally
obtaining a few pointers in the Gate
City exchange
We did not suppose that the Bur
ley exchange was any larger than
the one here, but Manager Husson
informs us that It has about twice
the number of patrons and there arc
twice the number of operators en-
ployed. So the calling of Miss Birch
to preside as chief operator there
means that she will have added du-
/ ties and responsibilities and with
them will come an increase In sal
ary. That she was chosen from
among the many young ladies em-
ployed in the exchanges In the Poca-
telio district, speaks highly for her
ability as chief operator Miss
/ Birch has been with the telephone
company here since October, 1911.
She is the second one OF Montpelier's 8
young ladies to have advanced in
the telephone world. Miss Kathleen
4 O'Connor. who is now travelling in
/ structor In the Pocatello district,
began her telephone work I'm the
little old Montpelier exchange. !"
Miss Birch will not only be missed
by her associates IN the telephone
exchange, but also by the Pavilion
orchestra, OF which she has been a
member for several years
She will be succeeded here as
chief operator by Mrs Hila Brook
shire, who is well qualified to as
sumo the duties. Mrs. Brookshire
served as chief operator here some
years ago, and has been one OF the
obliging members Of the exchange
for nearly year and half.
Right here we wish to say a word
in behalf of all OF the hello" girls
OF the Montpelier exchange. We
have reason to know that they all
do their best to give prompt serv-
ice, but they are woefulIy handicap
ped because of the antiquated switch
board in use here II any one will
take the time to go up to the central
office any time during the busy
hours of the day and witch the
girls in their efforts to answer calls
quickly. with the equipment at
hand. that person VIII soon learn
why the service some times seems
to be bum, and we will venture 20
say that he would never again be
guilty of "cussing the telephone
girls" But Montpelier is on the
list for a larger and better exchange
and Manager Husson Is hopeful thai
1t will be installed this year. When
Il is. the hello" girls will be re.
lieved of much OF their present
nerye-racking work and the patrons
will then have little. II anything. e
kick about.
) But reverting to the subject OF thii
/ artfcle-we congratulate Miss Blrcl
upon her promotion. and have ever
reason 10 believe that she will max,
good. and that her further advance
ment viii be a matter Of only /
shcrt time.

DETENTION CAMPS
 FOR ALIEN ENEMY
NORTH CAROLINA WILL BE SCENE OF ONE OF THE FIRST CAMPS TO BE ESTAB-
 LISHED.

Washington, May Advancement,
 for placing all lntefned alien enemies in permanent de ention camps where they will be we'll housed and given work al fair wages have been com plcted by Secretary Wilson os the labor department An official an nouncement today says the first camp will be established on 500-acre tract
 of agricultural land in the m-untan5 of North Carolina and that the 800 officers and sailors taken from Ger man merchant vessels in American harbors will be the first aliens to go there
 The statement adds that Secretary Wilson expects the necessity soon VIII arise for the establishment Of addi- tional camps In addition to enemy aliens, the department plans to care for other aliens who cannot ne ad- mtted to this country under the i'm migration laws and whose deportation ls impos sible on account of the war as well as for feeble-minded imml. grants. Those placed in camps will be segregated in three classes-ene mics, other aliens and the feeble minded.
 The first detachment of German sal ors will go to the North Carolina camp this week There is a summer hotel on the camp tract which was origin .ally destined for club purposes. In addition to a large central building there are forty cottages. with accom- modatious for from seven to fifteen men each. All buildings arc well fitted and up 10 date in construction and have sanitary arrangements. A large lake affords opportunity for
 winning and boating.
 Some 200 acres are under cultiva- ton and the interned men will be em- ployed at this work at first, while plans are being made for the develop ment of industries into whichl the'r la bor can be turned profitably. Secre- tary Wilson pointed out that with the approach of warm weather, it was necessary that opportunities be pro yided for interned persons to work and obtain recreation in pleasant sur roundinEs.
 The government desires he said, 10 treat iHterned persons with the greatest Of courtesy and make the con- dtions under which they must live as pleasant a. possible.

TWO CONFERENCES
 HELD ON ARMY BILL
HOUSE MEMBERS ARE STRONG " AGAINST THE ROOSEVELT
 VOLUNTEER EXPEDITION.

Washington, May S.-Two more con ferences today on the war army bill failed to bring senate and house com mittee5 together and adjournment was taken tonight with the prospects of an agreement still doubtful.
 The big point of difference stlll was the senate amendment to permit Col onel Roosevelt to take a volunteer ex- pediuOnary force to France.
 The house conferees stood out strongly against this amendment and the only hope for an agreement was said to lie in the possibility of the senate giving up on the point. On re turn, lt was said, the house conferees might be willing to accept the age limit, 2l to 27, ill the senate bill for tlsose subject to the selective draft. in place of the Q to 70 limit in the house measure. Efforts tomorrow will cen ter on such a compromise and if il cannot be agreed upon, it is probable the bill will be returned to the both houses and further instructions asked by the cOnferees.

SECRETARY BALFOUR
 ADDRESSES SENATE
WAR IS DESTINED TO CRUSH THE WORLDS GREATEST MENACE
 AND TO SAVE CIVILIZATION.

Washington May S.--Forcign Secre- tary BaltOur declared in an epochal address in the senate clnmber today that the war conferences her had cemented all alliance of three great democracies destined to crush the greatest world menace Of all time aud
 tU save civilization and liberty
 Though several trials still must be faced, he said, free people now have 1 been aroused and fired with a deter
 IT nation insuring the ultimate triumph
 Of free institutions
 This war is to be settled by hard fighting said the British statesman. and when it comes to hard fighting neither America nor Britain nor | France need fear measuring them selves at any moment against those who have risen up against all that We hold dear for the future
 Tt requires every man and woman
 on this side of the Atlantic as on the other side to throw their efforts into the scale of right, but that effort un- que tionably will be made. I speak with confidence about the issue Of thfs great struggle-a confidence which is redOubled since you have thrown in your lot"
 The submarine campaign presents a grave situation now, Mir. Balfour said, but more than one difficulty of like magnitude has been overcome The war could not be won, he predicted, by killing helpless women and children or by mwarned attacks on neutrals Failure to comprehend that the two great English speaking people would and could fight for an ideal he char .acterized as the greatest blunder which would cost Germany lle war
 Because We are Nnmilitary," he continued, they jumped rashly to the conclusion, firstly, that we were afraid to fight, and secondly, that if We fought, We should be negligible quantities. l think they are beginning, possibly, to find out their mistake"
 The foreign secretary expressed fUll appreciation for the warm reception given the war missions by the Ameri- can government and people, declaring ths attitude had raised the whole level of the war conferences from a purely business nature to a signifi- canoe that will live in history as epoChal.
 In his visit to the senate chamber, .Mr. Balsour va accompanied by Lieu tenant General Bridges and Admiral De Chair of the British mission, and they were given q reception riyalng in enthusiasm that accorded them Satur- day in the house.

In Northern France

1t Is strange and terrible 70 visit
Paris, and no one can be happy, but
to one who has loved France II IS far
worse TO visit the lovely northern
country. There is here sense of
emptiness, as If terror still hushed the
normal cheerful noises of mankind.
The people of these regions have lost
everything; their houses are burned /:
their animals, even the rabbits, are
gone; their farm implements are
shapeless pieces Of grotesquely melted
patched shelters, and in the houses
built by the Society of Friends, or
mass themselves In some nearby viii
lage that escaped destruction at the
hands of the crown princes retreat
ing army. After time In this silent
country one gets the sense that de-
struction is normal, and tears start 10
ones eyes Mt the sight of an unde
stroyed French village smiling in the
sun. SO changed are all values that
could feel nothing strange In the
words of the woman who told me.
Fortunately, my husband is a lunch
back. MARY Heaton Verse, In the
Century.
