PLANNING
A GREAT HOLIDAY
WANTS FOUR GOVERNORS TO
EAT THANKSGIVING DINNER
IN THAT CITY

SPOKANE, Wash. = Governors of
four states have been invited to Spokane
to participate in the three-day Thanks
giving celebration planned as a period of
rejoicing over the winning of the war.
All of the Inland Empire towns have
held impromptu celebrations and it is
being thought advisable to invite the citi-
zens from all of this big region to have
a still more elaborate observance at the
central city Now that the flu ban
has also been lifted there seems extra
occasion for rejoicing.
The plans call for special services in
all of the churches, beginning at 9 o'clock
on Thanksgiving day, a state luncheon in
honor of the governors and their official
parties at | p. m.; mass meeting and
unveiling of victory statue at 3 p. m.
formal state bali 9 p. m. The second
day will be signalzed by big street
pageant typifying victory over the cer-
tral powers. In the evening a public
concert and dance will be held at the
armory with the United States Marine
band providing the music Saturday
crowds will witness the one big football
game to be held in the Northwest this
year between Mare Island marines and
the University of Idaho. Other features
are to be added.
Extending an invitation to the Inland
Empire generally, Frank Sweeny, chair
man of the victory celebration commit
tee, says:
People of the Inland Empire have
been saving their money for three years
or more of war, and this celebration of
victory should mark the return of pros
perity The Inland Empire is prosper
Gus and we want folks from all points
to come to Spokane and have a good
time next week The people have been
staying at home, denying themselves
luxuries, and often necessities to help
win the war. Now the war is won they
should give themselves big holiday"

INFLUENZA BAN IS
OFFICIALLY LIFTED
STATE EALTH OFFIC E r
THANKS COUNTY BOARDS
FOR EFFICIENT ACTION

BOISE.-Orders have been issued by
the state board of health to lift the
Spanish influenza ban which has been
in effect in this state for a month as a
precautionary measure against the spread
of the epidemic, on November "a. Like
many other states, Idaho decided to close
down churches, public schools, theaters
and all public meeting places in order to
guard against spread of the disease. The
order lifting the ban, as issued by DR..
E. T. Biwer, secretary and executive Of
ficer of the state board of. health, to the
chairnen of all county health boards, is
as follows:
"You are advised that all restrictions
of the state board of health for the con-
troll of the epidemic of influenza are to
be removed at l a. m. Sunday morning,
November "a, insofar as is safe within
your jurisdiction.
"Reparts received by this office indi
cate that for thes state as a whole, the
incidence of influenza is rapidly dirnin
ishing, which explains the above order.
''While sporadic cases will doubtless
develop for considerable period, and
while in some isolated sections, inf1u-
enza may still attain epidemic proper
tions, we believe that the present strin-
gent requirements may be done away
with.
"You are directed, however, to use all
care in handling the situation within
your jurisdiction and if in the judgment
of the local board of health, the TIME is
not ripe for removal of restrictions, you
are authorized to maintain them for the
present.
"I wish to thank you, and, through
you, the public generally for the splendid
cooperation that has been shown the
state board of health during this abnor-
nal situation"

NORMAL CONDITIONS
EXPECTED SOON
BUT SOME SCHOOLS MAY NOT
OPEN NEXT MONDAY BE-
CAUSE OF INFLUENZA

School may not open in all districts
in Latah county next Monday, although
the state quarantine will be lifted Sun
day. Influenza has just made its appear
ance in some of the districts and is
spreading. One district which has not
had the disease at all until three days
ago reports seven new cases and the
directors asked Mrs. R. B. Knepper,
county school superintendent, what they
should do about opening school, She in
structed the directors to use their own
judgment about it and if they deem it
unsafe to open school Monday they may
keep the school closed until such time
as it is thought safe to reopen it.
School will open in Moscow and in
nearly every district in the county Mon
day. Churches will hold services Sun
day for the first time in several weeks.
The motion pictures are arranging to
reopen Monday evening and the chamber
of commerce will give its regular week
ly luncheon at noon on Tuesday. Lodges,
which have held no meetings since the
quarantine went into effect, will resume
regular meetings next week and condi-
tions are expected to become normal be-
fore the end of the week.
Many students of the University of
Idaho, who have been out since the quar-
antine started, secured health certificates
from DR.. w. A. Adair, city health Of
ficer, last night and were permitted to
enter classes this morning. No new
cases of influenza are reported in town
today.

SHIP BUILDING
TO Be CONTINUED
NOT ENOUGH SHIPS IN THE
WORLD TO SUPPLY THE I'M
MEDIATE DEMANDS

BOISE Ships must come and ships
must go loaded with supplies of all kinds
for the men of this country overseas,
according to the United States shipping
board which has notified the state coun-
Gil of defense of Idaho, the people must
not think that their duty with relation
to the war is over.
The statement of the shipping board is
as follows, as issued by Director Hurley:
"Now that the armistice has been
signed and the end of the war is in
sight a statement roughly outlining the
plans of the shipping board is in order.
The continued need for building Ameri-
can-owned tonnage is obvious. Not only
must we continue to supply our armies
overseas and prepare to bring them home
at the earliest moment compatible with
safety, but Europe must be fed and sup
piled with the necessary materials to per-
nit the reconstruction of devastated
areas in order that both our friends and
our enemies may become selfsupporting

MUST SHOP EARLY
IN SPOKANE STORES
MERCHANTS WILL NOT KEEP
STORES OPEN LATE FOR
CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS

\ SPOKANE, Wash. - Sweeping re-
forms in the handling of Christmas shop
ping have been adopted by virtually all
merchants of Spokane acting through
their retail trade bureau. All lines Of
merchandise are reached by the agree
ment which was made in Difference to
the wishes of the war industries board
and which will be adhered to in spite of
the fact that the war has ended and the
flu" ban has been lifted.
Stores will close during the pre-holiday
period at O'Clock, instead of remaining
open until 9 or 10 p. m, as has hereto
fore beens customary No extra clerks
will be required as the early announce
ment of the change in custom is ex
pected to distribute holiday buyers
the several weeks before
Christmas. In fact, many merchants are
already advertising holiday goods. 1t
has been further agreed by the retail
trade bureau to unitedly and individually
advocate the buying of useful and essen
tial gifts. Such gifts will be featured
in all displays Unnecessary and extrav
agant articles will be kept in the back
ground or completely forgotten. Amcri
toys for children are, however,
to be regarded as essentials.

and the burden of feeding the world
taken from our shoulders.
"There are not enough ships in the
world to carry ON this work and to pro-
vide Immediately for ordinary commerce.
For that reason only limited portion
of the shipping which can be constructed
by us in 1919 will be available for use in
the ordinary commercial channels. For
two months the shipping board has been
making a complete resurvey of its con-
struction program and contracts. Be-
lieving that the emergency war pressure
which necessitated the speediest con-
struction possible would soon end, the
investigation has been with view to re-
planning the ships to be constructed from
this date forward.
"It is planned that from now on ships
will be built with special reference to
the economical cost of operation, in
c1uding the motive power, cargo, space
and speed. 1t is also planned that'these
shall be built with reference to probable
trade uses and trade lines SO as to adapt,
them to particular uses and to increase
the speed every unnecessary delay in
loading and unloading must be elinai-
1ated."

DEFENSE COUNCIL
MAKES AN APPEAL
L. F. PARSONS, CHAIRMAN, ASKS
THAT LATAH COUNTY RAISE
ITS FULL QUOTA

To the Public: :
The united war fund drive is going
slowly. There is tendency to depre-
ciate the Importance of this drive. The
cessation of hostilities apparently is
causing great many to lose interest in
"Our Boys" and to ignore their quotas
entirely or to subscribe but small part
thereof As result Latah is far from
reaching its quota
The matter was given serious consider
alton by the council of defense at its
regular meeting last night 1t was the
sense of the council that Latah should
meet its original quota of $4,000. That
while it was called upon to oversubscribe
this quota by so per cent, it was the
sense of the council that the ending of
the war made the oversubscription un-
necessary, but considering it very i'm
portant that the county meet the quota
of $4,000. 1t was unanimously voted
that the drive be kept open until this
amount had been raised
Latah has had an enviable record
standing 100 per cent in all previous
drives-and it is felt that Moscow and
Latah county cannot afford to put blot
on that record at this time
The council asked that each individual
do his part in keeping that record clear
by doing his part 1t called upon the
people to forget all partisan feeling in
the matter The money subscribed is
not for any sect or creed but for the
boys who have offered their all and
have been instrumental in bringing the
war tc an early and successful close.
The failure of Latah county to do it's
part in this drive can and would be con- y
strued as lack of appreciation for the
services rendered by our boys and a
record.
Can Latah afford to fall DOWN. Your
answer will be recorded by your sub

REV. ]. QUINCY RGGS
MAY BE ARMY CHAPLAIN

Rev. j. Quincy Biggs, pastor of the
Moscow Christian church, returned
last night from Fort George Wright,
Spokane, where he passed success
full physical and mental examination
for the position of chaplain in the
army He had been accepted for
the work two weeks ago and was
instructed to go to Spokane and take
the examination. Captain Coffey, of
Fort George. Wright, sent the Rev.
Mr.. Biggs' papers east at once and
said that he has little doubt that the
minister will be called to service even
though the war has ended for there
is said to be a shortage of chaplains
and many of those who have been en-
gagged in the work since the early
part of the war, will want to return.
The Rev. Mr., Biggs was formerly
pastor of the Dean Avenue Christian
church of Spokane. He came to Mos
cow early this year. He will hold
himself in readiness to go whenever
called. If accepted as chaplain he
will be given the rank of first lieu
tenant.

BERLIN CITY Of
GLOOM, SAYS MAN
JUST RETURNED

Water Butterworth. who has re-
Gently been released and allowed TO
return TO America after having been
interned in Germany since the United
States entered the war. gives the fol-
lowing statement OF conditions in
Berlin:
Berlin is a city OF mourning. The
Germans are wretched at the dura-
tion OF the war; the people not in
the fighting are starving that those
who are may eat.
Berlin, say again. is a city OF
mourning. The people outside the
Uniform pale all appear to be dressed
IN black.
The women are pinehed. and
emaciated through want and mental
distress, whilst the children are
anemic and sad.
ITO go out for meal or for shop
ping in Berlin means the carrying OF
innumerable tickets. A ticket is
needed for every component OF
meal. Even >the military official
was with had his pockets bulEing
with cards. The people are sad at
heart. They curse the war. 1t sur
prised me to see how singulsrly un-
popular the Kaiser was with the
working classes.
Military junkers have the civil
ians well watched, and have taken
precautions against any collective
movement OF protest. Few are left
but the women to organize revolt;
even nlunition workers are as dis
cipliped as the soldiery. Have not
most OF them had military training
under the system of conscription?
The railway carriages. like the
houses in Berlin. had been stripped
OF all their brass fittings, while the
letter-boxes and door bells had been
taken from the houses. the window
straps of the carriages had been
taken away for other purposes.
The country appears denuded OF
men. Refreshment buffets, fruit
stalls and Newspaper lciosks which
abounded on all principal railway
stations In Germany were empty.
Female labor is everywhere employed.
but even then neither women nor
children appeared plentiful as one
scanned the country"
