SERIOUSNESS OF THE WAR
BROUGHT TO THE PEOPLE
L. ]. DOckery, Red Cross Speaker,
Leaves Impression of Long Struggle
and Possibility of Serious Reverses.

In four addresses last week Hon. E.
j. Dockery of Boise, brought the SER
iousness of the great war in which we
are engaged, to those who heard him.
mo one can say" he said, that the
Germans will not take the channel
ports, and lombard England" In the
recent great battle the German army
advanced S5 miles, at points, and they
are only 20 miles from the channel.
Tremendous as their losses were, and
able and valiant as was the defense
of the allies, still the Germans ad-
vanced No one can say that the next
great battle, or one succeeding it, will
not crush the British army and result
in the capture of the channel ports.
No one can say that Paris will not be
taken, nor that the French will not
suffer such losses that they will be
forced to sue for peace. Should such
came to pass, with the channel ports
taken and the southeast coast and
cities of England brought within range
of the big guns, Great Britain might
have to acknowledge defeat. Then
with the British and French navies
removed as an obstruction, what
would there be to prevent transferring
the scene of war to our Atlantic coast?
Germany has won the war up to the
present time, he said. She has gained
everything she set out to gain. South
ern Russia overrun, Serbia and Ru-
mania subdued Mittel Europa, ex-
tending from the North sea to the land
of the horrible Turk, is an accomplish
ed fact. Any peace made now would
be German peace.
By the reading of official documents,
and in eloquent but unimpassioned
language, he portrayed the magnitude
of the task confronting America, and
the necessity for speeding up our pre-
paratiOns. The Germans are the most
thorough people in the world, he said,
in whatever they undertake, and they
have overlooked nothing in their eff
fort to win.
No speaker with the exception of
Willsie Martin, has brought us such
a message as Mr.. DOckery. 1t was
stimulating by reason of the clearness
with which he set forth the situation
and pointed out our duties. He made
four addresses in the county. Due
to meetings in surrounding localities,
and to the fact that the stores are
kept open Saturday night, his Ameri-
can Falls audience was much smaller
than it should have been. This did
not affect the quality of his address
in the least, however. He paid a high
tribute to the people of the county for
their efforts to uphold the govern
ment in responding to every call, and
to d. W. Davis for his work in man
aging the Liberty Loan campaign in
the state.

FINDS GERMANS ARE LOYAL.
F.. J. DOckery Speaks Highly of Power
County TeutOns.

An index of the interest and earn
estness of the citizens in Power coun-
ty in the Red Cross work is told by
E. j. Dockery, who returned Sunday
evening from speaking tour of sew
eral days in that county.
1T certainly is inspiring and COM
pensating to platform speakers on war
topics to receive the intense and alb
sorbing attention of their hearers, "
said Mr.. Dockery. For instance, on
Friday last l made three addresses to
earnest, attentive audiences, and my
last assemblage of about $50 ranch
people patiently waited my arrival un-
til nearly midnight and then gave me
their undivided attention for an hour
or longer.
twenty-five per cent Of the resi-
dents of Power county are of German
birth or descent and their loyalty,
manifested by their Liberty Loan and
generous Red Cross subscriptions is
beyond question; in fact, many of
them exceeded their native born
neighbors in their liberality. The
county, although close run for several
years through short crops from their
dry farms. oversubscribed its allOt-
ments of both bonds and the Red
Cross Boise Statesman.

There is no soldering to do up to date

very good English but as a rule among
the French they have old ways. They
still have the old customs of dress
One goes out in the country in the

WOUNDED AMERICANS
PUT UP GAME FIGHT
Meet Enemy Forces in No Mans Land
and Force Them to Retreat; Ger
man Prisoner Tired of War.

An American accommodating party
commanded by Lieut. A. P. Craddock
of Lynchburg, Va, had a thrilling
hand to hand encounter with Germans
in No Mans Land in Picardy Friday
night In the face of a continued tre
from two machine guns, they charged
the enemy. Although Lieut. Craddock
and several of his men were seriously
wounded, they continued fighting and
drove off the Germans.
One of the Americans was shot in
the head and body. and lay on the
ground stunned. When he came to he
found a German holding him by the
shoulder. He whipped out his pistol
and killed the German.
Another American detachment dur
ing the course of the night penetrated
enemy organizations in the Boise AL
logne, attacked a German post and
killed five Germans and took one
prisoner. The prisoner told the same
story as thousands of others who have
been taken by the British and French
that he would give anything to see
the war ended. He apparently knew
nothing regarding future German
movements.

dress at Edinburgh, Scotland, Friday
The Germans are straining every
muscle to reach the goal first, on the
eve of American help becoming avail
able for the allies"
Il can honestly say" the premier
declared. that the government has
neglected no possible means for find

outlet out of this war, its horrors and
tragedies"
Mr. Lloyd Georges address was de-
livered in connection with the con-
ferring of the freedom of the city upon
him.
I'VE are on the eve of a great Ger
man attack" the premier asserted.
Those who know best what the pros
poets are feel most confident about

Speaking of the time necessary for
the United States to prepare for full
participation in the war, the premier
said that after all her exertion, Amer

the fighting strength which the enemy
had received owing to the collapse OF
Russia. He added that it took time to

The premiers statements about the
submarine situation were most opti-

Mr.. Lloyd George was received with
great enthusiasm, the people rising

DUNN BUYS INTEREST IN
CHRISTIANSEN MACHINE SHOP
Experienced Garage Man and Mechanic
Locates in American Falls and Will
Specialize in Farm Tractors and
Automobile Repairs.

c. K. Dunn. for several years owner
of a garage and general repair shop
at Dayton, Ohio, but more recently
master mechanic at the mines at Ban
mock, Montana, has purchased half
interest in the christensen machine
shop, one of the best equipped plants
in southern Idaho, and cast mis- lot

the highest recommendations. He
will rebuild and sell second hand ma
chimes, having several on hand at the
present time.
The new firm has taken the agency
for the Parrot Tractor, and expects to
do a large business along this line.
Mr.. Dunn comes from localities where
tractors have proven their worth and
says they are a practical and paying
proposition for the ordinary farms.
The most of the trouble with tractors,
he says, is that their owners have not
received proper instruction in their
care and operation. He has seen, he
said, owners send to the factories for
experts to make an adjustment which
would not have taken twenty minutes
to make, had the owner been properly
instructed when the machine was de-
livered.
we expect to put a man out with
every tractor we sell, said Mr.. Dunn
"and let him work with the owner for
a few days. explaining everything in
detail, until the owner is thoroughly
familiar with it, and able to locate any
trouble that may arise without having
to call on an expert. l have made a
close study of the tractor for several
years and have used several different
makes. l have, from experience with
them. selected the Parrot as the best
of them all. 1t is certainly the best
have seen or used"
Mr.. Dunn says they are ready tC
demonstrate this tractor at any time
and invites interested parties to call

year, Director General McAdoo
Monday ordered railroad freight

The American people answer
ed Germanys renewal of the
offensive on the western front
Monday with an outpOuring of
more than 32,000,000 mercy dol
lars, swelling the American
Red Cross second war fund to
100000. Reports still were
coming in from some districts
at midnight, and the final total
of the drive, which ended Mon
day, will not be known until
tomorrow or later.
Greater New York, which
early in the night had reported
only s27000,000, turned in
final subscriptions at midnight
of s33.434,73O. The Atlantic
division outside of Greater New
York. and the Pennsylvania
and mountain divisions, also
reported substantial increases
after first totals were made
public.
The oversubscription was much
larger than to the first $780,
100000 fund last year. Every
Red Cross division except the
central. and every state in the
union except Illinois, went over
its quota. The central division
lacked 100000 of reaching its
$13.S0O,00 Oversubscriptions
in Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin
and Michigan could not offset
the $2,S00,000 by which Illinois
failed to achieve its $S,000,OO0
goal.
