BATTLE-GROUND OF EUROPE
DESCRIBED By MISSIONARY.
N. Y. StratfOrd Tells Local People of
Conditions In Great War Z0ne-Was
Suspected BY British.

The flash and roar of cannon as
they Numbered in battle along the
Franco-German boundary near the
Swiss border was described by N. Y.
Stratford. late missionary of the L.
d. s. to the German empire, in talk
in the Mormon church here Sunday.
From advantageous ground in Swift
zerland Mr.. Stratford said he could
see a part of the far flung battle line
that is being bitterly contested by
France and Germany. He pictured in
vivid language the battle ground at
night as the cannon rumbled and
flashed in the distance and sent mys-
terious missiles of death hurting sky
ward to fall in the trenches of the
enemy
Mr.. Stratford was in Germany when
the war broke out in the summer of
1914. He gained Swiss territory as
soon as possible intending to make his
way to England. After leaving Switz-
erland he was followed by English
secret service men for three weeks,
night and day, and before he reached
England passed through red tape that
precluded any possibility of remaining
suspicion in the eyes of the French
or British transportation authorities.
The people near the German border
resorted to every ingenious method
conceivable to smuggle food and cloth
ing across the line, according to Mr..
Stratford. Many of them put bacon
in their hair, their shoes or clothes in
ar effort to evade, the inspection Of
ficers. Spies were frequently caught,
and where there was sufficient evil
dence, were dealt in brief fashion.
Spies, he said often bore messages
written in the skin of their bodies.
Others carried messages in their hair.
Mr.. Straford just recently returned
from the fighting zone. He was one
of three men who we're in American
Falls Sunday visiting the local L. d.
S. church. With him we're his father,
Jesse Stratford, and A. Y. Satterfield
of the High Council of the L. d. S.
Mr.. Satterfield is also General Mana
ger of the Farmers Society of Equity
with headquarters in Pocatello.

STOCK STARvE TO DEATH
IN R0CkLAND AND ARBON
Shortage OF Hay and Heavy Snow
Reap Heavy Toll from Farmers
Horses Selling High.

The death toll of stock is increasing
daily over the county, due chiefly to
the extreme shortage of hay. Four
hundred horses have starved to death
in the Arbon valley alone, according
to County Agent Kjosness. Stock in
the Rockland valley are suffering
greatly and have already succumbed to
starvation to the number of fifty head
of horses and probably as many cattle.
Many farmers have about exhausted
their supply of hay and in a few days
will be facing a problem more serious
than the one at present unless there
is an abatment in the severe weather.
Hay that sold at $40 ton a week
ago and $15 two weeks ago, is selling
now at $25. And it has to be hauled
several miles over extremely bad
roads.
A great loss is being suffered by
the sheepmen around Aberdeen ac-
cording to reports. In some cases it
is due to shortage of hay and in
others to improper care or lack of
facilities for caring for them in the
cold weather. An exception to the
general loss that is being suffered is
the experience of w. G. Terrence and
F. w. Ertle on the Terrence ranch
eight miles north of American Falls.
Mr.. Terrence has wintered 500 ewes
and several hundred lambs with a
loss of but one sheep. He has begun
lambing and so far has averaged 160
