Dwarfed Anything Before Attempt.
Had the war run into spring ar
rangements were made for carrying
the gas warfare into Germany on a
scale which would have dwarfed any,
thing heretofore attempted by any
of the belligerents. For a long time
the United States hesitated over the

Number of Casualties in Plant.
There were a number of casualties
among the officers and men engaged
in experiments with the deadly ho-

this city, but the nature of the work
made it necessary to observe secrecy

AIRMEN DROP 5000
FEET FROM PLANES
THOUSANDS THRILLED BY NEW
SENSATIONAL STUNTS-ONE
PERFORMER BROKE RIB.

Sergeant Mack Mcneil, who joined
the marines five years ago and is now
stationed at Quantico, Va, has sent
The News a clipping from the Eve
ming Star giving an account of some
thrilling stunts at the national capital
by air men. 1t follows:
Washington, late yesterday al
ternoon, was thrilled by a perform
ance in the air by two naval aero
nauts. While circling high over the
heart of the city they swung their
feet over the edges of two naval
planes and started downward on
ten-minute trips to the capital with
twenty-foot-wide parachutes swaying
above them.
New Stunt for Washington.
In private life these parachute
artists are Gunner John L. Mccoy
and Sergt. Thomas A. Holland, mem
bers of the balloon detachment of
the United States marine corps, sta
toned at Quantico. Both the men
had made similar previous leaps, but
the performance was a brand-new
one to Washington.
THE men were announced to try
to land on the ellipse as a public sur
prise just as the head of the free
milk for France parade was passing
that point. Their planes, however,
did not appear until after 4:30
O'Clock, and neither jumper came
within half mile of the designated
spot.
Lands on Walls; Bibs Broken.
Gunner McCoy's parachute picked
the hospitable roof of No. precinct
police station for a landing place,
while that of Sergt. Holland bore him
to the high brick wall Of the old
Visitation Convent, 18th street near
L street northwest. Mccoy was en-
tirely uninjured, but Holland suffered
a cracked rib or two and some
bruises. Both leaps were made from
a height of between $500 and 5000
feet, the respective planes travelling
at about mile-a-minute clip.
The performance was staged in
connection with the campaign for
milk for French babies. A flying
boat went to Quantico in the morn
ing and brought back the marines and
equipemnt to the naval air station at
Anacostia. There was some delay
before the naval aircraft managed by
Lieuts. Connolly and Ravens and En-

That Uniform Story

This is the story that Drew w.
Standrod, Jr., of Pocatello, who was
commissioned lieutenant at the train
ing camp at the Preside recently,
told of the governors recent visit
there, and it is corroborated by other
Idaho men who attended the training
camp and received commissions also.
The governor called at the Presi-
dio, and requested that the Idaho
men meet him at a certain time They
failed to do so, and then the COVER
nor induced the officers in charge
to issue an order gathering the men
together. They did this, and the gov
ernor made one of his typical har-
rangues. He had with him his SON
in-law, who is in the clothing bust
ness in San Francisco, and who a
short time prior to this had run
his business under his own nome, but
recently had changed the name of his
store and called it "The Army and
Navy Store"
The governor made this remark:
81 have with me my son-in-law, Mr..
= q forgot the name), who has a
book with him, and l want you all
to sign it, because l want your names
to be placed in the archives of the
state capitol of Idaho" Thew all
signed, although some Of them did so
grudgingly. 1t was only a day or
so following when each man received
notice of what the governors son-in-
law could do for them in the way of
irving discounts on uniforms.-Pend

RETURN
OF QUESTIONS

missionaries which have been
mailed out during the past two
weeks are being returned by regis
trants to the county exemption board
very promptly. Thus far only a few
have failed to return their question
naires promptly and these are for
eigners who have probably changed
their address since the draft regis
tration of last June.
1t is thought probable that the ex-
emption boards of the country will
not have completed their work before
February 18th and Adjutant General
Moody has advised that no more calls
of any kind for men will be made
before February 18th.
Up to yesterday So registrants had
returned to Clerk Moore, of the
county exemption board, their ques-
tionnaires. Eight of these are in
cluded in class No. / which takes
in single men with no dependents
who are not entitled to deferred reg
istration. The men in class No. 1
follow: Lonnie Austin Lahey, Einar
Mikkleson, Cyrus Edwards, Oscar
Frylman, Will Jeffries, Carl o.
Crest, Alva V. Merchant and Carl
j. Sandstrum.
Two have registered claiming de-
pendents and deferred registration
on account of being skilled laborers;
two claim relatives dependent upon
them and registered as county or
officers; % are registered
in class No. A, claiming a wife and
children solely dependent upon them
for support and % have registered
in class No. as aliens and unfit
for military service.
The Boundary county exemption
board has been requested by Adju-
tant General Moody, of Boise, to
furnish at once a list of the names
of men from this county who enlisted
in the national guard between July
LIST and December 18th, in order that
the county may be given credit for
such enlistments when the quotas
for the next draft are prepared.
