War Trophies.

One of the fifteen U. S. war
trophy trains visited Rathdrum
Wednesday afternoon, in charge
of I. C. Williams of Seattle. All
the material exhibited was captur-
ed from the Germans by the
Americans. 1t included trench
mortors, field guns, howitzers and
whiz bang, samples of ammunl-
ton, bombs, hand grenades, etc.
The trophies shown are only a
small part OF the quantity captur-
ed by the Americans last summer.
Accompanying the train was a
detail of soldiers and marines, three
wounded Americans, one Canadian
and two French soldiers, and the
tooth military band from Camp
Lewis. A large crowd, including
the school children in charge Of
their teachers, assembled to see
these evidences of the successes
achieved by our men in the wal
against the Hun.

ACCORDING to the general pub
Lefty committe of the Twelfth fed

not begun to feel the burden of

war funds. The committee stated
on September ~ that the ratio of
our national debt to the total
wealth of the nation was then only
five per cent, as compared with
Germahy's 81 per cent, Fra noes
81 per cent and Great Britain As

THE Hun ruler is sh putting

absolutely UNDECIDED by the
entente governments until his
troops in the field have laid down
their arms to the allied forces and
his military power is utterly
broken. There can be no ultimate
victory for the entente until such a
result is obtained. A ruler and a
nation that use power to exter-
inmate or enslave neighboring
peoples and to obtain world
dominion must be shorn of that
power.
