HOW THE WAR MAY BE
LOST

II 7 is said that President
V Wilson has asked Mime
sofa democrats not to
name a candidate to oppose
republican Senator Nelson.
It's Washington correspond
ent has wired the New York
Tribune that the president may
later indorse republican con-
gressmen who have consistent
ly supported the war policies
Of the administration.
It is stated also that a non
partisan coalition may be form
ed in which Idaho will return
a republican and democratic
senator.
If true, it is the working out
Of broad purpose. There could
be no greater disaster than for
the war to be made the foot
ball of partisan politics. There
is no surer way for the conflict
to be lost.
1t is as important to keep
partisan feeling and prejudice
buried for the period of the
war as to keep pro-German
submerged. The
one is as destructive as the
other.
This war is supreme ira
gedy. Events in Europe are
daily making it more porten-
tOus, more terrible. The Prus-
slams have obliterated the east
ern front and their empire is no
longer girted by a ring Of steel.

erican boys who are in France
Or en- route there, are offering

fords a splendid instance
of the valu@of looking into

the newspapers, notably the

The charge is not true. The
idea is opposed because from
the standpoint Of efficient

It provides an inadequate ser

cost. This fact can be thor

Rev. William Crawford and choir of the Ffrst Methodist church were at the Shekering Arms for the Sunday after noon service. Many were in attend ance, and the song service was espe- cially enjoyed. Mrs. F. H. Bushnell and Miss Florence Bennett gave most effectively, the selection My Father Knows; Miss Hazel sang sweetly Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown? and at the close Rev. Mr. Crawford gave the hymn He Lifted Me. Other members of the choir were Mrs. Will liam Tague, F. H. Bushnell. Mrs. Bushnell accompanied.
 The text of the address was For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever be- lieveth in Him might have eternal life. The voice of this verse calls unceas- ingly, Rev. Mir. Crawford said, through mans soul with the yearning of God and the voice of an angel. This is Gods love and we cannot fathom it The word so is small but in this verse it is the greatest of words, there Gods love is focused. It is a worldwide love. He loves the people of the world and all that pertains to it, sin except ed. There was a reason for Gods gift | What was it that was worthy such 2 sacrifice?

Oh, Boy! the Comstock Elliott com edy in music, that has enjoyed a rec ord run of two years at the Princess theatre, New York, will be the attrac- ton at the Davis theatre Friday e.ven- ing. Feb. 18th.
 Oh, Boyl is utterly different from what has been long known as musical comedy in America. It is of the inti- mate stylr made famous in New York by |. Ray Comstock and William FL liott who introduced such popular en- teItainments as Nobody Home and Very Coed, Eddie The players in Oh, Boy! seem to catch hands with the audience and take those in the or chestra seats into their confidence in such a manner as to make the whole performance seem as a family party.
 The various songs and dances fit in accurately and consistently with the action of Nthe plot, differing com pletely from those musical comedies where the specialties seem forced and out of keeping with the story being unfolded on the stage. As there are more than twenty distinct musical numbers introduced it will be seen that the action in Oh, Boy! is fast and furious through the three hours occu- pied in it's presentation.
 The company 10 De seen here comes direct from five months at Ye Wilbur theatre, Boston, and includes Heller Shipman, Irene Haisman, Charles Compton, Harold Crane, Joseph Allen Stella St Audrie, Mrs. .George A Hubbard.
