STATES GERMAN PEOPLE
 MUCH DECEIVED

Copenhagen, Wednesday, Oct. 9.--- George Bernhar, writing in the Ber- lin Vossische Zeitung, says the sub- marine warfare never would have been proclaimed if the German people had not been deceived and misled. Discussing the peace steps taken at Washington, in 1916 and 1917, the writer says:
 If we had known President Wilson had been continually requested to act as peace mediator and even that spec flied conditions had been submitted, our action would have been different. Had we known that at the moment unrestricted submarine warfare was declared President Wilson had agreed to accept the role of mediator, the German people, in the great majority, never would have tolerated a policy which brought upon them the reputaA tion of being double-tongued.
 "AlI this" says Bernhar, goes far toward making President Wilson's sharp words understandable.
 Tt also explains Ambassador Ger ards unmeasured speech, when one recalls that the German government permitted him to make a friendly ad- dress in the presence of high officials at the very moment when the subma- rine campaign already was decided upon,'' he concludes.

QUAKER HOSPITAL
 UNIT WIPED OUT BY GERMAN BOMB

Havre, Oct. 11-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-The head quarters of the Friends Ambulance Unit, an organization of $50 workers from all sections of America sent to the western front by the American Society of Friends, has been almost completely wiped out by bombs dropped from GermaA airplanes. Two of the staff were killed and four in jured. The others were safe.
 The story of the disaster is told in a report of Major John Van Schaik, Deputy Commissioner of the Amert- can Red Cross, of which the Friends Ambulance is a unit, who says:
 "A worker whom we had placed with the unit was sleeping in the room with one of those who was kill ed He was not injured. He describ- ed his experience as follows:
 :" T was awake when the bomb fell. I don't remember much noise, only the motion. The whole room seemed to lurch back toward where the bomb fell, and then went down. We fell fast and seemed to be falling through all eternity. My life was saved by my | bed shooting across the room. The cupola of the adjoining building fell where my bed stood.
 The adjutant of the unit was buried under the debris for three hours. A large oak chest held a beam | off his neck. They had to tunnel through the debris to get him out. He was conscious part of the time, and l directed the rescuers in their work He was bruised but not seriously 1

 For material use as fine gauge or cheese cloth as possible. Fold the material to make five thicknesses, and cut an oblong 1-2 by ' 1-2 in- ches. Make three half-inch pleats at each end, turn in edges and stitch. Cut four feet of tape into four lengths and sew one to each corner. Make box pleat 1 1-2 inches in width on one of the long edges of the mask; stitch down one inch.
 To adjust, place the mask over the face, tie the tapes. from upper cor ner around the back of the head and the tape from the lower corners around the back of the neck. Place box pleat over the nose.

NEARLY MILLION TONS OF COAL A
 MONTH NEEDED
Pershing Sends Order For 9OO,OOO Tons Needs 6,000 Locomotives and 60,000
 Cars.

Philadelphia, Oct. 11.---Gen. Persh- ing has just cabled the government for 9OO,OO0 tons of coal a month. This means that 11,OOO, 900 tons must go to France in the next 12 months. Coal exports show for seven months, Jan- uary to July inclusive, 10,915,337 tons shipped overseas.
 The new order, which must be met, calls for 5000 locomotives; 60,00O rail- road cars and enough rails to build 2,40O miles of line. This order looks like a new route to Berlin and multi plies the government estimate on To- comotives by four and adds 10000 to the car number. While filling this de- mand, there can be no quibbling as war needs and necessities are the de- mands of the hour
 The further the Allies penetrate into Hunland, more trackage and rails must be laid to bring up troops to the front and facilitate the movement of army supplies. American engineers are doing this work, principally, on the other side. More coal---anthra- cite and bituminous---and more coke is urgently needed for coke blast furnaces, steel mills and loco motive works on this side of the Alt Iantic ocean.
 Despite the fact that Lens, the French mining region, has fallen tc the Allies, it is not expected that the Huns left it in workable condition With the falling off in production ir the Welsh mines, every ounce of ooa. | is needed to carry the war to a sue. cessfuI conclusion.
 In the meantime, the cry for coal fs as great in Europe as in this country with not enough labor to produce i in sufficient quantities to meet every need and condition.
 Not counting it's other vicissitudes the anthracite industry is now con | tending with the ravages of the inffu enza. From reports received yester day from operating companies up state, it is estimated that 10000 mine workers are affected by the epidemic either themselves or some member o their family. It visibly affects outpu with a daily loss of about 25,0OO tons Some collieries are more affected thai others throughout the anthracite re zion and depression results in genera work.
 Averaging 10 tons for family winter supply of anthracite, this drol in output means a. possible loss o coal to 2,5OO families, as lost outpu now cannot very well be made IT with a working force depleted 35,0 men.
 The influenza affects the mine-work CTS psychologically, as well as physi cally. When there is a death or sick
 ness in the family, the operating com
 panies have found that a certai amount of pep or ambition is take
 from the men while at work with tn
 result that output invariably suffers.

ceiving hearty response from the
people of Latah county. The drive for
this county is in the hands of Tim

900 in the United States for this fund
and this money is to be used In the
training camps and cantOnments in
the same manner as the funds raised
for the Y. M. G. A. The government is
looking to the Y. M. G. A. and the
X. of G. to look after the moral and
spiritual welfare of the men at the
front and in the cantonments. The
two organizations are cooperating to
the fullest extent in performing the
important duty asked of them. It is
asserted that some 40 per cent of the
men in the army and navy are Cath
olics and it is among these that the
knights Of Columbus are required to
do their work in ministering to the
spiritual needs of the men.

The brilliancy of Coach w. G. Blea-
master and H. w. Hubert of the farm
crops department, forwards on the
university faculty basket ball team,
defeated a quintet representing the
Washington State college faculty by
a score of 27 to IA in a contest staged
in the university gymnasium last
night. Each of the Idaho forwards
hooped five goals from the field and
Coach Bleamaster Gagged one free
throw.
The game was quite as vigorously
contested a battle as campus basket
ball fans have witnessed in several
seasons. Decided roughness charac-
terized the play at times, but there
was little fouling, for all the virility
of the affray.
A feature of the contest was the af-
fair of honor at center participated in
by "Hec" Edmundson and j. Fred
Boiler, coaches of the basket ball
ives of the two institutions. Each
performed sensationally, Boiler in
particular looming up as the bulwark
of his aggregation.

Leslie Moe, fast moving forward, who
has been troubled since the last Mon
