DESPITE ACTIVITY IN AMERICAN
SHIP YARDS SUPPLY IS
INADEQUATE

LONDON-"Our allies are making
every effort to increas their produc-
ton of ships" said Sir Eric Geddes,
first lord of the admiralty in the house
of commons today, "but in spite of
glowing reports in the American press
and great as the efforts of the country
doubtless is, there is no doubt con-
siderable time must elapse before the
desired output is obtained"
Sir Eric said the naval force of the
allies in European waters is to be
greatly augmented shortly by Bra
lillian warships This is understood
to mean that Brazil, who has been
patrolling the south Atlantic, is going
to send ships across the ocean to as
sist in the actual warfare there and
be prepared for the expected COM
bination fight of the allied fleets with
the German fleet, which the allies hope
to crush this spring.

YOUNG MAN |SAMER|CA HERO

It was an Idaho boy, barely 22 years
old. who is being lauded all over the
world as the hero of the recent trench
raid in France with the Germans. He
lost his life but the Germans paid
dearly for his death.

Their of Miss Phillis Hoover, of the
University of Idaho, is the hero who
gave his life for liberty. Miss Hoover
left this morning for her. home in
Blackfoot to be with her parents in
their deep sorrow.
The dispatches telling Of the battle
told of how a young captain, West
Point graduate, leaped out OF the
trenches with a machine gun and stood
in ''No Mans land" between the Ger
man and American trenches waiting
for his men to drive the Germans who
had invaded the American trenches
out into the open, and how, when his
machine gun was disabled or out OF
ammunition he was last seen using his
automatic pistol, fighting mob OF
Germans who had been driven out by
his companions But the name was
not given and it was not known until
last night that the hero was an ldaho
boy. The young captain is reported
to be the first West Point graduate
to lose his life since the war began.
The story of his dashing conduct,
the high regard in which he was held
by his men and the sincere distress
occasioned by his death is told in the
following excerpts from Associated
Press dispatches:
One American captain rallied men
with rifles and machine guns and
went through the American entangle-
nents into no mans land and there
waited for the enemy, whom he ex-

| pected to be driven out by his com
rades in the trenches.
| He was right, for soon groups of the
enemy started back through the wire
ed in a deadly fire, but unfortunately
the captain was killed during the
fight
Keen distress was displayed by all
the men of the company commanded
by the captain who was killed. One
of them said:
"He was a fine officer and, believe
me, he took care of his men. Any one
of the company would have gone
through hell at his order We will
pay Fritz for that if we have not al
ready done so"
A Kansas man who was in the fight
said the last he saw of the captain
he was kneeling alongside splitting
machine gun and blazing away at the
Germans with his own automatic pis-
toll Il saw him fall fiat" added the
private. The captain was killed by
a gunshot wound in the chest.
Miss Phillis Hoover showed herself
to be a worthy sister of such hero
by the splendid manner in which she
bore up when the news was broken to
her. "I have never seen such an ex-
ample of supreme courage as Miss
Hoover exhibited said lady friend
who was present when the young girl
received the sad news. "She seemed
to realize that her brother had died
as he wished to, fighting for his coun-
try, and that her part of the sacrifice
was to bear her sorrow without finch
ing. Miss Hoover showed that her
brother did not have all of the heroism
in the family

Japan before the collapse of the Rus

may be taken by the Germans for use
against the allies in the west. Japan
has offered to take charge of these

to withstand the steady and I'M
swerving advance of the American,
thrown against them and in addition
lost many prisoners to the Ameri
cans.
The only enemy weakness was in
his artillery, the reply OF his big guns
being deficient and spasmodic through.
out, evidencing that he aid previously
removed the greater part to safer po-
sitions. But his machine guns were
vicious enough to compensate for
this.
German Casualties Heavy.
Prisoners taken by the Americans
come from seven German divisions,
among them men from the Landwehr
and landstrum. Austro-Hungarians
made prisoner came from the 1920,
10th, 25sth and 307th regiments.
The prisoners asserted that the
casualties resulting from the Ameri-
can fire were very heavy. Among the
captives were numerous officers. who
freely criticized the high. command
for what they termed bad Judgment.
All the evidence at hand tends TO
confirm the belief that the Germans
were altogether unprepared to resist
such force as General Pershing sent
against them. One division on a GER
tain sector sent out a cali for REIN
forcements, The only response to this
appeal was a reply to hold the sector
az all costs.
