Women Have Endurance.

Pound for pound, the average
normal woman in good health can
endure more pain, discomfort and
fatigue. and can expend more mus
cular energy than the average nor
NAL man of similar condition, de-
clared DR.. Dudley A. Sargent Har-
ward in emphasizing the fact that wo-
men should make every whit as good
soldiers as men.
Women of necessity comes near
er the primitive type than man She
is biologically more of savage,
more of a barbarian, and she has,
therefore, greater physical endur-
ance. She can undergo many strains
a man cannot.
"Withstanding cold, or thirst, or
hunger, or physical privation Of any
sort, a woman can outlast a man.
Nine times out of ten, woman, from
the standpoint of physical endurance,
should make as good soldier as A
man"

RAILROADS SEND
CARS AND ENGINES
TO EASTERN ROADS

There is no reason for concern
on the part of Western shippers at
the report that Western railroads
have been asked by the Railroads
War Board to hold one hundred To-
comotiyes in readiness to be turned
over to eastern lines. This Is the
view taken by c. J. Mcdonald,
assistant to William Sproule, chair
man of the Western Department of
the War Board.
by Western railroads is meant
all roads in that territory west of
the Mississippi" explains Mcdonald,
THE requisition Is being made on
the basis OF the number OF locomo-
tives owned by each railroad opera
ting in that territory, The number
allotted from each individual line liz
very small, and they will be kept
in service until the requisition is
effective
1t should be horne In mind that
the release of these locomotives to
eastern territory is for the purpose
of relieving the congestion which
is tying up equipment there that
we need out here So that, the
effect will be to make available for
the West cars and equipment that
would otherwise remain in the East.
The West will not lose anything by
such move If it becomes necessary
to make it"

Our Loans to Our Allies.

The loans made by the United
States to the Governments at war
with Germany are arranged by
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
and submitted to the President and
made with his approval.
The Secretary states that his
judgment in making these loans is
determined largely by the monthly
requirements of the applicants. The
different powers, through their duly
authorized representatives, make
their representations as to their ne
cessities for carrying on the war, and
after discussion the various amounts
are arrived at.
These loans, says the Secretary,
are essential for our own protection,
not only for our protection in a
military way but for our economic
protection and welfare. The pro-
duction Of the United States has been
speeded up and greatly stimulated.
We are producing more than our
own needs, and our own economic
protection and welfare demand that
we sell much of our products to our
allies To accomplish this we must
extend these credits to enable them
to buy our products.
Their commercial salvation is an
essential part of their effectiveness
In the war and their commercial
walIbeing demands that their ex-
port trade be maintained in a con-
siderable measure They must keep
their civil population engaged to
the extent necessary to sustain their
industrial and economic existence.
It is sound economic policy of our
Bart to assist them in maintaining
their industrial life and economic
welfare.
Very little of the money loaned to
our allies, the Secretary states, goes
out Of the United States, Most of
it Is spent right here for war mater
ials and foodstuffs The money we
are advancing is not contribution;
ii is loan, on which they pay in
terest and which ultimately will be
repaid in full. Our allies are looked
upon us as solvent peoples Without
ready money but with perfectly
good credit.
Their expenditures of this money
in this country are supervised by us.
Their purchases are made with the
advice and assistance Of our War
Industries Board. This system not
only protects the borrowing ally but
prevents competitive bidding against
The other allies and the United
states itself, and obtains for the
borrower the same prices, the same
terms and the same treatment our
own Government demands in making
its own purchases.

CLERK OF CHURCH
HAS PAPER ON
HISTORIC POINTS

At the anniversary celebration of
the Congregational church last Sun
day, Mrs. j w Caldwell. who has
been church clerk for several years
read very interesting paper, en-
titled "Milestones in Church His
tory" which referred to many mat
ters of interest in the history OF the
church. The paper was in part as
follows:
The church was organized in 1892,
making this year the 25th anniver-
sary of its organization. In the
first year there were rs members. OF
those there are in the membership
at the present time two charter mem
bers Mrs w. c. Howie, and Mrs. 2.
Hungerford.
During the first five years of the
church life five pastors served name
ly, r. N Burr, j. A. Spencer, #. N.
Nash Morris Townsend and A. s,
Hawkes., the last being a son Of Rev.
w S. Hawkes., who favors us with
his presence today
During the pastorate of Rev. Nash
the first church building was con-
structed by the assistance of Rev,
Mr.. Paddock of Weiser During the
pastorate of Rev Hawkes. the par
sonage was built, but not occupied.
The present pastor Rev. G. f..
Mason. began his pastorate the last
Sunday of December, 1897 20 years
ago this Sabbath making this the
goth anniversary, At the beginning
of the present pastorate there were
II resident members. Since that
time 339 members have been received,
an average Of II for each Of the 20
years. The present membership is
1877, 40 being absent.
The pastor has ofiiciated at $50
marriages; 1876 funerals; 203 bap-
tisms.
The new church was built in 1908,
and dedicated in 1904. The furnace,
new organ, cement walks, and pews
In successive years. All the trees
have been planted in the time ex-
cept two.
The parsonage was enlarged eight
years ago. The church came to
self-support In 1910, seven years
since. The Ladies Aid developed in
to three sections . years ago. The
Sunday school superintendent, Mr..
o. K. Norel has served ten years,
the present enrolment is 142, with
Cradle roll and Home-department, a
total of 1874.
The present choir has served,
most OF the members, since 1907 ten
years, with consistency and efficiency.
In the time of the pastorate, there
has come a great bereavement, the
loss of the pastors wife, and the
the blessing Of the second Mrs.
Mason.
In all the tw5nty years Of service,
the pastor has not been absent from
pulpit on account of sickness single
Sunday. He wishes to acknowledge
the Providential hand over him, and
the very great kindness, helpfulness
and patience of the beloved people
with whom he has served

taken by American trappers had to go
to Leipzig before it could be sold

the pioneer work of the old Hudson
Bay Co. and far-sighted English
commission houses, three quarters of
the fur shipped to London from
America, Russia and even China went,
after the auctions, direct to Leipzig
for dressing and dyeing.
cat Leipzig each year after the fur
was prepared and the German mer-
chant had fixed the price for that
year, Americans were allowed to pur-
chase as much as three-fifths of the
entire fur produced for manufacture

they were forced to pay the original
cost plus the expense of dressing and
dyeing, plus handsome profit for the
Germans, plus thirty per cent. duty
before they got them back hon -
They were constantly either indebtt :
to the Germans or completely under
their domination"
Mr.. Palmer said American fur dye
ing houses now are operating in New
York and that in St. Louis the attempt
has been made successfully to dye
seal skins, which previously had never
been done outside of Leipzig and
London. Fur auctions also have been
undertaken successfully both in St
Louis and New York.
when the war is over" Mr.. Palm
er concluded, Germany will again
buy American furs, but these goods
will be bought in the American mar
ct this time, from American firms
and they will be American dressed
and dyed, and prepared for European
| consumption. The unnatural trade
conditions which forced Americans &c
ship certain furs abroad, to buy them
back and to re-ship them to America
will have disappeared, and Germany
l will be the loser"

Washington, May S1-Another ten

not be made until all the fur dealers

HAPSBURGS> FALLS
TO SUBJECT STATE

What Austria Hungary is to get out
of the compact Of the Kaisers is mill
tary support, not, as in the case of the
old Austro-German alliance against
Russia or any other foreign country,
but against the insurgent forces ut
home. For some time it has been
plain that the German and Magyar
sections of the Dual Empire could not
much longer hold in subsection the
Czech, Jugoslav and Latin nationaIi-
ties. Left to herself, the Dual Empire
would have to face seriously the al
ternatives of liberalization or dissolu-
ton Federation would imply the III
innate political predominance of the
Slavic elements, who in another half
century will constitute decisive ma
jority of the population. And even
so, it may be that the opportunity of
solving the Austro-Hungarian prob
lem of federation has lapsed. If
then the Germans and Magyars of the
empire wish to retain their old po-
! litical privileges, they must commend
themselves to the German Kaiser as
weak barons Of the. Middle Ages COM
mended themselves to the greater
lords But this is the end of Aus
| tro- Hungarian independence. This
old empire of the Hapsburgs, once
confident of destiny to rule the world
falls to the rank of a subject state
The Central European political unit
comes into existence not by mutual
consent, as Naumann proposed, but
by Germany's conquest of her allies
How long the Central European unit
will endure, however, depends upon
the course of events on the western
| front.-The New Republic.
