PRESS BUREAU FOR army.
Uncle Sam to Handle News.
About Khaki Clad Men in
Regular Service.

Added to his other multit,dincus
duties. Uncle Sam is about to assume
the role of a newsboy. In the service
OF the government under the war de-
partmcnt there are thousands Of men,
who are, in a way, isolated from the
rest of the citizens. When they enter
the army, they cease to be remembered
by most Of the people of their home
towns.
Under Il new plan about to be inaug-
urated in the United States army, a
press bureau has been provided, the
duty of which is to keep a strict watch
over the entire body of men in the
regular army and report daily tho hap
penings of news of Importance which
comes to it's attention. The names and
home addresses of the men are kept
on file and when anything happens in
which they are concerned, the story is
forwarded to the town from which they
came. Several men from Missoula have
enlisted in the army and are now
working in the different departments.
infantry, the calvary or the artillery.
If any one of them should be promoted,
decorated for bravery or killed on the
field, the only way the news would
reach Mssoula would be through per-
sonal letters or the formal announce
ment of the war department to the
relatives. When the new system goes
into effect, such announcements will be
made through the press.

VICTIM Bus CHAUFFEUR
Former Proprietor of Stage
Line Gets Away With
Company's Cars.

Officials of the Valley Mercantile
company Of Hamilton are making very
earnest efforts to locate one F. s.
Biomberg. well known IN Missoula. and
promise to make things rather hot for
him if they can locate him. Blom-
berg is reported to have disposed of
considerable property which indirectly
was the property Of the Valley Mer-
camille company. and thereby placing
them in such position that unless he
can be arrested and brought to an
swer to his alleged depredations. the
company will sustain considerable
losses.
1t is charged that Blomberg. after
spending the summer running the Bit
ter Root stage, went down to the Bit
ter Root metropolis last fan and
started doing automobile hauling work
for different persons. 1t is said that
he contracted with the Valley Mercan-
tile company to do their hauling into
the Big Hole country during the pres
cnt year According to the contract
the company was to furnish Blomberg
with the trucks for the freighting
work and he was to pay them back out
of the money made in the hauling Of
goods over the divide.
The company furnished BlomberG
with two big White trucks, but he did
not use them for hauling goods but
instead, it is said, dismantled the cars
and sold the parts. After this i'm
portant financial transaction had been
concluded. Blomberg skipped the ba-
mana belt and the Valley Mercantile
company. and they are wondering
where they will get off AZ on the deal.
Blombcrg operated the Bitter Root
automobile bus line from Missoula to
Hamilton last year, having his local
office on Front street.
