UNFURL SERVICE
FLAG LAST NIGHT
SWEDISH LUTHERAN CHURCH
WAS THE SCENE OF IMPRESS
SIVE PATRIOTISM

A fine example of loyalty to their
adopted country was shown at the
Swedish Lutheran church last night
when a service flag, with eight stars
was unfurled with impressive cere-
monies. The flag represents mem
bers, or sons of members of this
church who are fighting for their
adopted country and are willing to
make the supreme sacrifice, if need be,
to save freedom to the world.
The program opened with a hymn,
followed by vocal and instrumental
music and select reading by Fred
Pearson, who has been blind for many
years. A feature of the program was
the singing of America" in the Swed-
ish language, the first and last verses
having been translated for the occas-
ion.
The large audience arose and sang
America in English as two boys un-
furled the American and the service
flags on either side of the church.
Then the service flag was lowered and
the mothers of the boys whose names
were represented by the stars went
to the flag and pinned white flower
upon her sons star.
The names of those represented by
the eight stars are: Oscar Peterson,
George Fahlquist, Aizid Anderson,
Walter Johnson, Walfied Anderson,
Victor Peterson and Carl and Theo.
Nelson, the two latter being brothers
and sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Peder Nell
son. The service flag is of silk and a
beautiful piece of work. 1t was pre-
sented by Mr.. and Mrs. Theo. Lund-
quist.

The British tank was one OF the
great sensations Of the present war.
It not only surprised the world when
it appeared in action, but it sur
prised the Germans-and there was
a good strong jolt accompanying the
surprise. The very idea Of a land
battleship was inspiring in itself, but
the tanks did not go into action with
any desire on the part Of their crews
to create poetry and romance. They
went into action to sweep German
barbed wire out Of the way so that
the infantry could get through quick

and overwhelm the Huns before they
could. organize an effective defense.

banks. woods, houses, pill-boxes-did

during the war on any part of the
western front, Andrew Bonar Law,
spokesman of the government, told
the house of commons.
Our outpost troops" he added,
''have been withdrawn on the part
of the line which was very lightly
held. This was nothing more than
was expected, and was in accordance
with instructions. There was nothing
in the nature of a surprise attack
about it,
81 am sure that with the knowl-
edge beforehand of what has hap
pened in similar attacks on either
side" continued Mr.. Bonar Law, "the
house and the country will not be
unnecessarily alarmed by information
of that kind Our staff and the YER
sailles council naturally have been
considering what might happen in the
event of an attack. And | may tell
the house that this attack has been
launched on the very part of the line
we were informed would be attacked,
if an attack were undertaken at all.
81 may say that only three days ago
we received information at the cabi-
net from headquarters in France that
they had definitely arrived at the con-
clusion that an attack would be
launched Immediately and as they
were prepared to meet it the country

for the full scope of the enemy ac-
ton against both British and French
fronts to be made clear, and still be-
lieve that the logic of the situation
points away from German offensive
in the west at this time.
There was a distinct feeling last
night that the tumult of the German
guns might cloak some other purpose
than to commit the issue of the war to
onslaughts against the all
but impregnable allied lines in the
west. Supreme confidence in the pow
er of those lines to resist the shock

BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE-By Associated Press
Fighting still continues but the first
stage of the offensive has passed.
The enemy failed badly in the eXecu-
tion of his program as is attested by
the capture of documents showing
what he had planned to do in the early
hours of his offensive. Vigorous coun-
ter attacks yesterday restored some
of the positions which the British had
abandoned temporarily. The British
dropped back at the beginning of the
German drive from some of the most
advanced front line trenches which
were lightly held, to more secure posi-
tions, and after the Germans had ta-
ken these abandoned trenches, made a
counter attack and drove the Ger
mans out.

BOISE TEAM GIVES

BASKET BALL PLAYERS PAY
TRIBUTE TO MOSCOW'S TEAM

That the Boise basket ball players
were we'll pleased with their visit al
Moscow, even though they were de-
feated for the state championship, is
shown by the report of their trip pub
lished in the Boise Statesman, which
follows:
The Boise high school basket ball
team returned from Moscow Sunday
night The Boise team was defeated
by the Moscow high school five in the
University of Idaho tournament.
Ward Wyman, Boise captain, was
nicked as one of the forwards on the
all-star high school team by Coach w.

members of the all-state team were

Good Generalshfp by Moscow
Boise's defeat at the hands OF Mos
COW, after winning way to the semi
finals by defeating Lewiston ana
Occur dAlene, was attributed not TO
Boise's lack of condition, principally.
Moscow, according to the Boise play
ers. has a wonderful machine. MOS
COW, however, had the advantage OF
practicing two weeks before the tour
nament on the university floor, and
did not run up against strong teams
at the beginning of the tournament.
Boise, in eliminating Occur d'Alene
and Lewiston, eliminated two OF the
strongest teams. Moscow had IL men
in suits on the floor, and used second
string men to win her first two games
with Post Falls and Kellog. Mos
cows team when it met Boise was
fresh, and Boise was worn out by two
hard battles.
Given Good Time
The visiting teams were shown a
fine time. They we're entertained by
a dance after the last game Friday
night, and a smoker after the dance,
at the Beta Theta Pi fraternity house
Boise coach, D. M. Sharer, in speak
ing of the tournament, said: "The
poorest team entered in the tourna-
ment could win from any team in this
district with the exception of Boise.
Boise played its best basket ball this
season at the tournament"
Boise was adjudged the next best
basket ball team entered by Coaches
Bleamaster and Edmundson. Coach
Bleamaster said that the first half OF
the Moscow game was the best
high school basket ball he had ever
seen.
For Better Athletics
The Boise team stayed at the kap-
pa Sigma fraternity house. w. Z.
Bleafnaster gave dinner for the Wis
iting coaches Thursday night.
A state high school athletic associa-
tion was formed, with Coach Blea-
