Referring again to my application sent
you some time ago for service in your
proposed division on the European
battlefields. l feel sure that the SEN
ate and house conferees will grant you
the necessary authority to raise the
division, or possibly several divisions.
most heartily agree with you that
the Stars and Stripes should be with
the Tri Color and Union Jack at the
front at the earliest possible moment.
AS you have so aptly said. the Amer
leans don't want to pay for their
fighting-they want to do their own
fighting. believe that Idaho, the
Gem of the Mountains" will furnish
at least thousand men for your or
ganization. IL given the opportunity

Who In Idaho Will Follow Roosevelt?

Editor Capital News: 1t has al
ways been my belief, since this coun-
try severed relations with Germany,
that American troops should be sent
to the front at the earliest possible
moment, and / have hoped that the
government would authorize Colonel
Roosevelt to raise at least a division
by calling for volunteers, having it un-
derstood that this organization would
not in any way interfere with the plan
worked out by the general staff of the
army for conscripted army. 1t has
been my belief that the sending Of an
army to the front, though it be small
and of little effectiveness as a fight
ing force, would have a great moral
effect on our allies and at the same
time would tend to arouse enthusiasm
for the cause in this country. 1t looks
now as though Roosevelt would be
given authority to raise the division
asked for, and in the event he is given
the authority / want to see Idaho we'll
represented in the first contingent to
cross the Atlantic to battle for hui
manity. / suggest that the daily pa
pers of Boise could give valuable serv-
ice in helping to arouse interest in the
proposed division and in endeavor-
ing to locate who would be willing to
go. Publicity could be given the mat
ter and the names of all who were
willing to volunteer could be sent to
the offices Of the papers, or some 9TH
er arrangement could be worked out
whereby it could be ascertained how
many men Idaho would furnish.
Some time ago l wrote Colonel
Roosevelt, offering my services, and
received a reply to the effect that T.
would be notified as soon as authority
was granted to raise the troops. Today
sent the colonel q telegram, in which
stated that l believed Idaho would
furnish at least a thousand men, If
given the opportunity, to accompany
his division, and I would like to see
our glorious state fall in line with
that number. I am sending you a copy
Of the telegram sent Colonel Roose-
welt, and l suggest that you start a
to ascertain who in the !
state are ready to follow the lead of
our loyal and patriotic senior senator, |
William E. Borah.

WOMAN'S STYLES MADE
SUBJECT Of DIPLOMACY

For the hrst time In history women's
styles have become . matter Of interna-
tonal diplomatic negotiations.
The commercial economy board Of the
Council OF National Defense undertook
to reduce the number and kind Of styles
to be turned out for the fall Of 1918.
Moreover1and note this carefully-it
will seek to reduce tho amount Of cloth
used in q woman's suit by 20 or 25 per
cent
To gain an idea Of what the Partisan
styles for next fall are to be, the COM
mercia1 economy board got into COM
munication with French designers
Through the aid Of the French ambas-
sador In Washington, and has at hand
plish its purpose.
AS a result styles will be fewer. there
will be less change than usual over
those Of the preceding year, and, as
stated. the cloth used will be reduced
materially.
But don't be alarmed, skirts won't be
rs per cent shorter or Is per cent tighter
The saving in cloth will be effected large
ly by the elimination of betting, of pocket
flaps, OF pleats and other furbelows
which take large amounts Of cloth.
All this applies to mems as well as
women's clothing. and the coat and suit
trade and the big custom tailors Of the
country have pledged their full co-opera-
ton.
