Captain Luther Fe1ker of the u. S

structions from the commanding gen

up the way again for civilians to enter

istration, may apply, accept that no ap-
plication will be entertained from civil

tofore
"Civilians in class /, admitted to train
ing schools, will be required to enlist for

main in service, but civilians in de-
ferred classifications may, if not found

j. S. WILL Be GREAT
CREDITOR NATION

DENVER, Col, Sept. 21.-Othe1
nations probably will owe the United
States nearly $9,OOO,OOO,O 900 at the enc
of the war if it should come about 8
year hence, John E. Rovensky, OF
New York, told the bankers assembled
here today in the national convention
of the American Institute of Bank
ers. Mr.. Rovensky is vice president
of the National Bank Of Commerce
of New York.
States about $5,765 100000, Mr.. Row
would be increased within year by
about $3,000,000.000.
"By the time the war is over,' said
Mr.. Rovensky, America will be one
of the leading creditor nations of the
world, financial center from which
a large part of the worlds economic
forces will be directed; where the
debts and credits of the worlds trade
will be to a large extent be cast up
and be settled.
"World banking on scale hereto
fore undreamed of will be the order
of the day. The star of financial
and economic supremacy that has
been travelling westward since the
dawn of civilization and that now
rests over London, will again move
onward in its course and cross the
Atlantic. In contemplating this pic
ture there spreads before our eyes a
vista of world of boundless oppor-
tuities which awaits young American
bankers of the present generation"
Mr.. Rovensky reached these con-
clusions by an interesting analysis OF
the international financial position of
the United States. He said that when
the war began the United States net
debt to the world was about $780,
100000. The United States paid an
nually to foreign countries a net
amount of $780, 100000 in interest on
our debt, freight charges, remittances
to foreign laborers, expenditures of
American tourists, insurance premi-
ms and sundry items.
After the beginning of the war the
United States repaid it's debt to for
,ign countries very rapidly by pur-
.hasing American securities held
abroad "It is probable that our net
lebt to foreign countries was practic-
lily extinguished about two years
lgo," declared Mr.. Rovensky.
During the war, up to July /, 1918,
he United States exported merchan-
lise in excess of it's imports to the
xtent of about $4,000, 100000. In
eturn the United States arranged to
end it's allies and other foreign coun-
ries about $780, 100000, it received
american securities to the amount of
bout $2,00O,000,000 and 81 ,000,0
90 in gold; total of Sic, 100000, 900.
Mr.. Rovensky estimated that the
United States would find it profitable
fter the war to leave its $9,000,000,-
90 investment abroad and to reinvest
broad the income from it by pur-
base of securities of foreign rail
,ays, steamship companies, manu-
acturing, mining and other enter
rises.

MAY CHANGE IDAHO
STATE BOUNDARY
REPRESENTATIVE FRENCH OF
FERS RESOL UTION FOR
CHANGE OF LINE

Representative Benton L. French OF
this state has introduced joint reso-
luton authorizing the states of Idaho
and Wyoming, through their legislatures,
to exchange small strips Of land along
the boundary line SO as to better accom-
modate the farmers of the respective
states.
Mr.. French is in receipt Of petitions
urging relief and the passage Of the reso-
luton introduced will make it possible
for the states to act. This raises rather
an unusual question, yet probably some
twenty times or more states have
changed their boundary lines slightly.
There are two procedures for this
work to be accomplished. The one
method is for the states to pass legisla-
ton ceding to each other the lands in
volved in the exchange and then call
upon congress to ratify the cession. The
other method is for the congress to pass
an enabling act or resolution and then
authorize the states to make the cessions
they desire to nake-the resolution or

F. |. MOORE RE.
0'D''"'.S FROM BOISE

Hon. Frank L. Moore, candidate for
United States senator, returned from
Boise yesterday afternoon, where he
had been during the meeting of the
state central committees.
Mr.. Moore expressed himself as
being well pleased with the action of
the democratic committee and to a
Star-Mirror reporter, said:
political issues are formulating at
the capital very rapidly. The all-ab-
sorbing topic of conversation is the
prosecution of the war to speedy,
successful and definite end. Two
other issues of Importance are the
Susan B. Anthony amendment to the
federal constitution and national pro-
hibition."
Mr.. Moore's stand upon these issues
is we'll known to all who know him.
He took an active part in the adop-
ton of the constitutional amendment
granting to women equal suffrage in
Idaho, and has always been an ardent
champion of every prohibition move
ment in the state, and has always
contended that the best and most COM
prehensive method of accomplishing
these reforms is by national prohibi-
tion and by granting equal suffrage
to women through an amendment to
the federal constitution.
Mr.. Moore has been asked to assist
in the Fourth Liberty loan drive in
the southern part of the state and
will leave for that purpose in few
days.

WAR TAX BILL
HITS BIG PROFITS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-(By AS
sociated Press. 1.-The house late today
passed the war revenue bill designed tc
raise by taxation approximately $685.
100000 of the "a or more billions needed
by the nation for the current year. The
huge measure, the largest of its kind in
the history of any nation, now goes to
the senate.
Passage of the bill was unanimous. A
formal roll call, demanded by Majority
Leader Kitchin, recorded $50 yeas and
no nays, which, announced by Speaker
Clark, was greeted by a roar of cheers
and applause.
All possible speed in the bills course
through the senate is assured, according
to leaders, the senate finance committee
having concluded formal hearings. De-
sire for the bills enactment before the
November elections has been expressed
by leaders of both houses, but this is
considered doubtful.

PLAN TWO DAYS ROUNDUP
IN MOSCOW OCTOBER 4 AND 5

A movement is on foot by the Mos
COW chamber of commerce to give the
people of Latah country two days OF
real entertainment after the harvest is
completed and the early fall seeding
done. The dates selected are October
4 and S. The event will be in the nature
of roundup and will take the place
of the regular Latah county fair.
A wire has been received by Secretary
c. ]. Hugo of the chamber of commerce
that Jackson Shutdown, 1916 champion
buck ckaroo, will be here with rs men. 1t
is also possible that Yakima Canute,
1917 and 1918 champion, will be here.
Captain Edgington, OF the S. A. T. c.,
has agreed to stage sham battle for the
entertainment of the people of Latah
county and the Inland Empire who will

FARMERS FAIL TO

Northwestern farmers in drouth-

such financial straits as has been repre-
sented according to the applications for
federal aid in buying seed wheat through
the federal land bank of Spokane, says
the Spokesman-Review To date not
one application from farmer in eastern
Washington has reached the land bank.
Total applications approved up to
September ID, the date of the last Off

the head office in Spokane, aggregated

PORTLAND FAMILY ON VISIT
LITTLE ONE SUCCUMBS

Pearl Edward Bond, the two and
one-half- year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. w. Bond of Portland, Oregon, died
at a local hospital yesterday. The
conditions surrounding the death of
the little one are particularly sad.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bond were visiting rel
atives at Juliaetta, when the child
was taken sick and developed con-
dition so serious within few hours
that he was rushed to hospital in
this city. Every possible aid was rem
dered, but without avail. Death was
due to an attack Of cholera infantum.
The body will be shipped to Portland
for burial.
