BLACKFoOT POST OFFICE MOVES

The Blackfoot post office will be
removed this season to a new build
ing to be erected next door to The
Republican building on Bridge street.
1t will be on the east side of the
alley facing south and adjoining the
Cash store and the First National
bank.
Plans for the building have been
drawn and approved, and the con-
tract for construction will be let as
soon as bids can be secured. The
lease for the post office on the pres
ent site will expire the first of Aug
ust, and work will be rushed to get
the new building ready for occupancy
by that time or as soon thereafter
as possible. aI
The lots for this purpose were pur-
chased five years ago and an effort
was made at that time to secure the
lease from the government, but the
plan failed and was revived month
ago with better success.

FRENCH PAY HONORS
- TO UNITED STATES

Enthusiastic and touching cere-
monies were held at Paris, Sunday,
which was United States Day" in
France The Stars and Stripes were
broken out at the top of the famous
Eiffel tower at o'clock in the after
noon and saluted by 21 guns. At
the same hour the French tri-color
and the Star Spangled banner were
unfurled together from the Ameri-
can embassy, from the city hall and
from other municipal government
buildings.
Besides the many American flags
already displayed by French citizens
the celebration committee handed
out 10000 more to the multitudes,
who were not slow to wave them.
With impressive ceremonies the
equestrian statute Of George Wash
ington in the Place d'Jena was dec
Grated with bronze palm. Am
bassador Sharp and his escort were
received at the city hall by Premier
Ribot and other dignitaries. His
speech to the people of Paris was
received with rounds Of applause. He
was presented with a plaquette rep
resenting liberty enlightening the
world, protected by the American
eagle, as a memento of the occasion.

BALFOUR AND PARTY
IN UNITED STATES
To Confer With American Leaders as
to Best Cooperation for
Winning the War

Arthur James Balfour, British
minister for foreign affairs, and a
party of distinguished Englishmen
arrived in Washington, Sunday.
Their mission is to help America
profit by the entente allies costly
mistakes and successful ventures In
building their present armies. !.
They were received quietly at the
capital, altho some 5000 people were
gathered to see them arrive. Flags
and bunting were much in evidence
thruout the city, including the Brit
ish union jack and French tric0lor,
but at the station only three large
ones representing the three countries
A band to meet the nations guests
was dispensed with because, as the
president explained, these statesmen
are here on a grave and serious mis-
sion, which call for no jubilance.
Two troops Of U. s. cavalry, and
all the policemen available, acted as
guards and escort for the visiting
foreigners, and detectives were thick
ly interspersed thru the crowds. Pre-
cautions taken to safeguard the Of
IlCldl WClC SdAu W w 0AOA
extensive and CAREFUL than ever
practiced in this country before.
Secretary Lansing officially greet
ed the party as they descended from
their train. The minister for foreign
affairs walked to the station with
head uncovered, bowling to the cheers
of the people, and with his party en-
tered waiting automobiles. The pro-
cession was then instantly envelopedi
by the cavalry escort until 1t reached
the palatial residence to be used by
ti.s visitors during their stay Along
the avenue large crowds were banked
as close a. the police lines allowed
and kept throwing out cheers as they
proceeded.
The party left England setfst'y
on the eleventh of April and were
protected in every way from possible
German spies watching their move
ments. They noticed the change
from their battle-ridden atmosphere
to the natural calm of this country
Every honor in the power OF the
government to bestow was shown the
visiting statesmen. Mr.. Balfour ex-
pressed himself as surprised at the
warmth of their reception here.

FRENCH DIGNITARIES
ARRIVE FOR CONFERENCES

The French war mission to sthe
United States arrived at Washington
Wednesday to join the English Of
fetal delegates in conference with
American leaders. The French party
is headed by Rene Viviani, minister
of Justice and vice premier, ana
Marshall Joffre, hero of the Marne
and popular idol of France.
AS in the case of the British mis-
sion. every honor in the official com
pass was shown the distinguished
guests of our nation, and every pos
sible safety precaution was taken:
Two troops of U. S. cavalry acted
as escort of the party. The French
tri-color was in evidence everywhere
in the city, many times the three, tri,
color, union jack and Stars and
Stripes kept amicable company:
Schools were dismissed and clerks OF
the government departments allowed
to Join in welcoming the visitors.
Great crowds received them with
cheers as they alighted from their
train and proceeded to their official
guest apartments.

CLOSE ALL SCHOOLS

The state officials and department
of education of Utah and Idaho are
seriously considering the matter OF
closing all schools right away to re-
lease the pupils for farming and
gardening. Some of the officials are
in favor of continuing the schools
for the lower grades and some advo-
cate releasing only the high school
pupils. 1t is agreed by all that the
world food question is a very serious
one and that getting seeds into the
ground this spring is the thing that
is necessary to keep the world from
going hungry next winter. Pfoduc-
ing everything that is possible from
the soil and canning, drying and pre-
serving it so that nothing nutritious
shall go to waste, is advocated all
over the country.

FIRST AMERICAN WAR
GUN SETTLES U-BOAT
Gunners ON Liner Mongolia Plant
First Shell i'm German
PeriscOpe

The naval gunners stationed on
the liner Mongolia are given credit
for firing the opening gun of the big
war for America. They had been
ordered to fire at any enemy subma-
rine on sight, and when on the last
afternoon of the trip to England a
periscope peeped out oft he ocean
surface at 1000 yards keen eyes
marked it. The captain ordered full
steam ahead intending to ram it. The
periscope disappeared. A few min
utes later it rose on the ships broad
side; the gunners fired, shattering
the periscope with a square hit. Oil
was seen on the water, and the Of
ficers of the liner feel confident the
U-boat was sunk.

OF DRAFT
PLAN USE HOT WORDS

Opposition to the administration IS
conscription plan waxed strong and
warm in both houses of congress by
Wednesday. Speaker Clark in the
house attacked the draft plan In such
a rousing fashion as to gain loud
applause from the representatives
who do not agree with the admins
tration. Champions Of the measure
confidently assert that it will pass
not later than Saturday.
Senators Reed, Vardaman and
Sherman. fought the selective draft
system in the senate.
Speaker Clark said that in his
state the word "conscript' is class
ed with " convict" He urged that
the volunteer system be tried, at
least.
A poll of the house disclosed a
favorable majority, and the bill is
expected to pass the senate at a
vote Saturday.

RED CROSS SOCIETY WAITING
FOR NEEDED SUPPLIES

The local Red Cross association
will hold no further meetings until
the necessary materials are received
from the national headquarters.
Three requests have been sent in
for supplies, but it is evident that
insufficient preparations had been
made for such a widespread move
ment as resulted from the call. Mrs.
C. A. Hoover, president Of the local
society will announce the next meet
ing so soon as the materials arrive.

VACUUM STREET CLEANER HERE

An up-to-date, rear draft, vacuum
street cleaning apparatus was receiv-
ed in Blackfoot this week and COM
menced operations Wednesday. The
machine is drawn by horses, and fur
nishes it's own power for the sweep
ing up and confining of the dust. 1t
will cost about $4,000.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1917-04-27

When all the allies on our side of
the war are exercising SO strict a
censorship on letters home that the
soldiers have to merely sign their
names to regulation cards, 1t is odd
that they find so many gushing, sad
German letters to wives and mothers,
all showing great despair at the sit
uation, too.
