Washington. Nov. 13.-Switzer-

menced this week, has objects which
are revolutionary and political rath-

Indictment from the Bolshevik organ
ization in Russia, according to Hans
Sulzer, Swiss Minister to the United
States.
Mr.. Sulzer sketched circumstances
leading up to the strike to-day for
the Associated Press. Though with
out information as to the progress of
the movement. he expressed complete
confidence that it would fail to break
down the present Swiss Government
which he said had the support of the
overwhelming proportion of the pop
ulation.
Great Industrial Unrest.
For some time there has been
great industrial unrest and unem-
ployment in Switzerland. due to gen.
eral world conditions, and intensi-
fled by our general location" Minis
ter Sulzer said. Food has been in
sufficient and raw material has not
been obtainable with which to keep
all plants employed. Then there are
10000 deserters and undesirable
aliens from belligerent countries har-
boring in and around Zurich, where
trouble has centered.
1.-THE Russian Bolshevik Govern
ment, though not recognized, had a
representative in the country, who
was tolerated upon his agreement to
refrain from propaganda against our
democratic form of government. This
promise he did not keep, but instead
engaged more or less openly in agi'
tation.
affairs eliminated when the
Swiss Government ordered troops in
to Zurich to maintain order, which
was done last week. The Socialist
committee, which controls the cen
trail labor organizations, ordered the
Government to remove the soldiers
or face general strike, to begin on
Sunday. Naturally, my Government
would not be dictated to in any such
fashion. The strike followed.

FUN IN P0oLRooM ROUNDUP
PatroIman Assisting in Raid Unable to
Produce Registration Card When
Demanded.

Knoxville, Tenn.-Amusing incl
dents occurred here during the round
up" Of more than 300 youths in twelve
poolrooms. A deputy sheriff asked one
Of the patrolmen, who is in the drarl
age and who was assisting in the
roundup" to produce his final card.
After making a few feeble excuses the
patrolman had to admit that he did
not have his final card with him. The
situation was relieved, however, when
the patrolman applied at his local
board and secured a card.
In another instance a young man
told the officers that he wanted to
Join the navy. He was taken to the
office Of the naval recruiting station.
His legs began to do the Hula Hula

southwestern United States, now are
providing a profitable our of reve'

Official dispatches received here say
the British board of trade has ordered
100000 crates Of skinned rabbits.
which will require the killing Of 21,-
100000 rabbits, weighing 100000

rabbits were shipped with the skins

the fur.
How to dispose of the skins is caus+

is a ready market for them in this
country, but tonnage Is scarce.

profound appreciation of the great
work, which he found on his recent
visit to America, was being carried
on by the American Committee for
Armenian and Syrian Relief, of the
keen enthusiasm of their workers and
of the hearty sympathy which he
found on all sides. He was deeply
impressed with the Colossal" gener-

with the reports of the work of the
agents of the committee, both within
Turkish territory and in the regions
adjacent to the various battle fronts.

PRESIDENT TO FIX
PRICE OF COTTON

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-(By AS
ISOLATED Press.)-Presiden Wilson will
fix the price of cotton, placing the last
of the principal commodities necessary
in the prosecution of the war under
governmental regulation, despite strong
pressure from the southern states. In
addition to determining the price the
government will take over control of the
distribution of this years crop.
The decision of the president, an
nounced at a conference this week with
senator's and representatives from the
cotton states, became known today.
Plans to carry Il the decision are said
to be under way.
Shortage Principal Factor.
The principal factor in the action of
the president is understood to have been
the shortage in the present crop, esti-
mated at between 100000 and 100000
bales.
The price to be named by the presi
dent or the means of controlling distri-
button have not been decided upon.

mended that rs cents would be fair.
Southern senators deny this would be a
fair price and declare that because of
the increased cost of production a fig
ure above 80 cents should be named.
Cooperate With Allies.
In determining a plan for controlling
distribution it is understood the
president is ~endeavoring to work out a
method of cooperation with the British
and French governments.
AS the needs of these two govern
ments and the United States represent
more than so per cent of the crop pro-
it has been pointed out that a
price could readily be fixed which
would control the world market.

ment to the western front. It Is The
personnel of the first American tani
battalion.
Trained by veterans of the British
tank service and equipped with the
most modern of the land war ships, the
new force will give an excellent
account Of itself. The British coaches
OF the American crews have expressed
their approval of the manner in which
their pupils have adapted themselves
to the operation Of the machines and
unless they are mistaken, the men
whose training in England is Just be.
Ing completed will be given enviable
roles. Their machines have the best
points Of both the British and French
tanks and the training of the men has
been in the light Of experience already
gained by the fighters of France and
England.
To every mar in the American outfit
there have been impaired the stories
OF mistakes made In the early history
Of tank warfare. Enlisted men and Of
hcers have been told what to do and
what not to do; all their admonitions
have been based not on theory but on
actual experiences, gained in the face
of German fire, loosed always upon
the slightest intimation that the tanks
are numbering to the front.
1t is expected that because of the
excellence Of the weapon with which
1t will fight and the training it has
undergone the American contingent
will prove itself exceptionally efficient.
Further for believing the
American Tank Corps will live up to
the estimate of the British instructors
is the character Of it's personnel, both
men and officers. They are carefully
selected men, picked from the thou
sands who volunteered when the call
for tank men a made. Two base
requisites were insisted upon: First,
every nan must be physically fit, and,
second, temperamentally adaptable.
The training every man has received
has meant either that he is delivered
the commanders at the front as q
efficient unit or is merci-
lessly thrown out Of the service. He
Is turned over to the fighting force as
expert mechanic, a man drilled in
operation of both machine guns
and heavier ordnance, a tactician and
strategist, and, finally, as a mar with
no evidence Of nerves."

SUBMARINE MENACE is
PRACTICALLY AT AN END

LONDON, Sept. 21.-According to d
London paper, truth of the prophecy OF
Admiral Lord Jellicoe made last spring
that the menace of the submarine would
be at end in August, is evidenced by the
revival of holiday traffic with the Isle
Iof Man. Crowded excursion steamers,
it is pointed out, would not be allowed
to navigate the seventy odd miles of the
Atlantic between the island and the
mainland unless the chance of attack
had dwindled almost to nothing.
For the last four years visitors to the
Isle of Man have been mainly German
civilian prisoners for internment.

To Our Patrons

AS has been stated in these columns, the undersigned has
applied to the Public Utilities Commission for authority to increase
certain telephone rates. Briefly stated, the proposed increases are
as follows:
Individual line business telephone increased from S25Oto $3.50
per month. And four-party business telephone increased from
$3.50 to $3.50 per month.
All residence rates remaining as at present-name1y, indi--
vdual line, $500; four-party, $150; and eghtparty, SIPS per
month.
Please note in Occur dAlene. Wallace and Standpoint, for
instance, the individual line bushes. rate is $500 per month, with
no lower business party line rate, and the lowest residence rate
$500 per month.
Our farm line rate of 500 per year is proposed to be increased
to 5000 per ear. Very little need be said in justification of this
increase, since the proposed rate is still considerable below the
actual cost of performing the service. Of course, farm subscribers
paid the rates asked, but it is a wen-known fact that these rates
are relics of the days of severe competition in the telephone bust
ness and we're never based upon the cost Of giving service.
only a ew hundred telephones, IS 1t is a wen-estabhshed fact that
the cost of telephone service increases a. the number of subscribers

of like size.
rates, although material used in this business has advanced in some
instances 500 per cent And this has had bearing upon II giving
the subject early attention; yet it will surely be seen that We are
endeavoring to get by" n " a lower rate than that usually
charged IN cities OF this size In ordinary times.
We believe we can do this, with your cooperation, without
lowering the high standard of our service largely through the elm
nation of overhead expense and enforcing rigid economy.
We feel we have been very considerate indeed, in forming the
proposed schedule Of moderate increases and trust you, upon careful
consideration, will come to the conclusion.
We solicit your patronage and hope to retain your confidence.
