happenings would prove harmful to their plans,
the Journal is quite willing to accept their judy
ment and withhold the news, believing that such
action will have the approval of the great ma
jority of our readers.
It is true that the censorship is less rigid at
other points than at Pensacola. But that, again,
is matter for the officers in command to deter
mine Unfortunately, there is no fixed rule for
the release of news matter Much is left to the
Individual judgmnet of local commandments. Be-
ing human, they do not think in the same cham
nels. What one would consider most danger
Gus item for general circulation, another would
release for publication without hesitation, That
accounts for the publication at certain points of
news items which do not get beyond the copy
desk in other newspaper offices.
Then, there are papers which do not observe
the censorship. They place their news service
above duty to the government. They place their
Judgment of danger in news story above that
of the official censorship.
The Journal is content to be numbered among
the papers which rigidly adhere to their pledge.
There is nothing more painful to the trained
newspaper worker than to t'kill' good story
after it is type simply because some official
thinks it should not be printed. But the war is
too big an undertaking, too important to all of
us, to PRINT personal feeling to prevent against
the judgment of the men who are bearing its re-
sponsibility, even though that judgment seems
contrary to public interest and good newspa-
pering.

ENEMY AIRCRAFT is
EXTREMELY ACTIVE

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 22.-Enemy aircraft have
been extremely active along the Amer
lean front In Picardy since the advent
on the new moon. Villages and roads
in the rear of the American lines have
bombed md some of the villages visited
by the hostile aviators present pitiful
scenes of destruction. The military
demage done has been negligible, but
q number OF civilians have been killed,
most of them women and children.
The American soldiers and nurses are
freely Offering aid and comfort to the
distressed That some of the American
hospitals have not been damaged is no
fault Of the enemy, but Is due to good
fortune, as the Germans are apparently
dropping their bombs without and con-
sderation of military detectives.
The area under bombardment from
the sir is that between the American
front and Paris and nightly the air
over this district Is humming with
enemy motors, while the American ana
French anti-aircraft guns are keeping
UP an almost continuous barrage.

ITALY AMERICA DAY.

The nationwide celebration in this country OF
Italy-America Day on May oath, the third ami
versary of our southern aly's entry into the war,
marks the beginning of new of cordial un-
derstanding and mutual appreciation between
the two countries. The vital Importance of an
organized effort to promote this good feeling is
striking proven by Germany's tirless endeav-
or through insidious propaganda to arouse i'll
feeling between the two countries.
It was German propaganda rather than force
of arms that nearly put Italy out of the war in
the great Teutonic drive last year. And the
Central Powers have not ceased for moment
their crafty efforts to isolate Italy from her al
lies Italy by her prompt declaration of neu-
trality realeased French troops from her borders
in time to make possible the victory at the
Marine She stands today as barrier between
Germany and the open Mediterranean and prob
able victory in the great war. Hence the i'm
portance of giving to the Italian people the full
est measure of moral support and to their
government as completely possible the back
ing of our armed forces.
1t is to promote this important object, which
has its concrete expression in the celebration of
have recently been formed-the Italy-America
Society and the Roman Legion of America
The purpose of the former organization is the
establishing of definite platform upon which
the leading personalities of the two great nations
may be enabled to exchange their best thought
upon the questions of industry, economics and
finances they understood and practiced
in each of these separate lines. 1t purposes to
bring together periodically representative groups
of the two nations for the purpose of cementing
a more friendly and intimate relation %>p.
The Roman Legion is an association purely of
Italians throughout the country-the first ma
tional organization of Italians in America. It's
purpose is to present systematically to Italians
in America and Americans of Italian extraction
the true situation with regard to Germany's eff
forts to influence the Italian mind and to show
them that America is entirely in sympathy with
our Italian ally.
These two organizations and the cause they
represent should receive the heartiest support
of every loyal and intelligent American citizen.

WOMEN MUNITION WORKERS

The increase in the production of munitions
in England from twenty-five to seventy fold
since 1915 is to very great extent" due to the
women of Great Britain, according to a pamph-
let Just issued from the press of r. Clay and
Sons.
'Some months ago DIR. Kellaway, M. P. said
there 491 different munition processes. on
which women were engaged" says this author
ity Recently he asked his officers at the Min
istry of Munitions if they could give his cor
responding figures for today. They reply was
that so great has been the extension of war
processes upon which women are working that
it might be said to be covering the whole engi-
neering and chemical trades.
"Women are to-day building great part of
one of the best high-speed engines in the coun-
try, each woman setting her own tools and work,
and able to machine any kind of work the tool
she is on will take. Women are building gun
carriages including the fitting work on the
breech mechanism and the screw cuttings of
large threads up to shoulder. They are doing
much of the work in some shops 3 IL ton
army lorries, and will be doing practically the
whole of it. including chassis erecting and test
ing, if the war last much longer. They are do
ing important work in marine-engine building,
including turning the connecting rods, propeller
shaft, lines, and practically all the marked-of
drilling.
Their activity and skill have not been con-
fined to the engineering and allied industries
Their success has been remarkable in the pro-
duction of chemicals and optical munitions, both
of which industris were to a large extent, before
/ the war, in the hands of the Germans"
I'm October, 1917, the factories producing mu-
nitions in Great Britain employed 100000 men
and 100000 women according to Employment
and Labor Maintenance. "The monthly increase
since that time has been at the rate of about H.,
900 men and 10000 women. In the national fac
tories women workers outnumber in the
following percentages: In royal factories, 80 /;
national projectile factories, AT; explosive and

and thus the money becomes sort

of more grain and poison. In this
way the $4,000 raised in Sheridan

A few sheep on the farm will pay
any Clearwater county farmer. In
our county most farmers have more
or less brush land, and there are a
lot OF weeds needing cleaning up.
Eight sheep will live on the feed OF
one COW. And bunch OF sheep is
needed. In 1917 Jack Harlan, with
no previous experience. bought six
Oxford ewes. In the spring of this
year eight lambs came. Then one
of the ewes died. One lamb also
died. From this flock Mr.. Harlan
sold $2210 worth Of wool, net. AZ
ter freight. etc, we're paid, that is
the amount left. He sold three buck
lambs for SOS. and has been offered
$40 for two eve lambs. Two young
wethers are worth $3.50 each. The
original investment was 500. Mr..
Harlan has five Of the original flock
left. and has net profit additional
of $1S5. Which is some record, but
could not be approached with scrub
breeds. For the prices he received
are much better than scrubs would
bring. But 1t shows the value of
sheep on our farms, and should be
stimulant to others. A dozen or
fifteen sheep on every farm in the
county should be the aim.

The leading democrats of Idaho
are indignant and insulted when
you tell them that Samuels, who
was republican county chairman
at the time of his nomination, liz
today a democrat. He is a camou-
tagged republican. guilty Of the
crime OF stealing a political party
and who stopped to disfranchise ev-
cry man and every woman in Idaho
who believe in democratic policies
and principles. Samuels is as crook
ed politically, judged by his part in
this crime, as the kaiser of Ger
many or the Russian car. They all
trample the rights Of others under
foot, and would destroy civil liber-
ty. The non-partisans are denying
democrats their right to vote for
democrats. And it is monstrous
outrage. Fred Dubois, as a silver
republican, attempted the same
thing with the republicans years
ago. And he is despised to this day
by republicans Of Idaho.

successful farmers, residing in the
Gilbert section, informs the Repub-

year made yield of 1850 pounds
per acre, and that variety called
Red Mexican made 1900 pounds per
acre. Mr.. Longteig had "a acres in
beans this year, and celebrated his
good fortune by buying a bunch of
Liberty bonds, and signifying- his
willingness to buy his limit If I'm
Gle Sam needs it. The Red Mexican
brings about one cent a pound less
on the market than the white navy,
so that 1t has proven a most excel
