NAVY DEPARTMENT TELLS OF
FIGHTING NEAR THE CLOUDS

Ensign Stephen Potter. United
States Naval Reserve Force, killed in
action with German planes April 25
last. was the first American naval av-
itor to shoot down and destroy a
German seaplane, according to a
Navy Department statement.
The report states that on March
19. 1918. a long-distance reconnais-
ance OF the German coast was made
by large American flying boats oper-
ating from a British Royal Air Force
station. Ensign Potter was one of
two American naval aviators accom-
panying this expedition. and Potter
was successful in shooting down n
German seaplane which attacked the
reconnaissance formation. A second
enemy seaplane found safety in run
ming away.
Potter's death reflects credit on his
courage. He was killed In a fight
with seven enemy single-seaters. He
was second pilot to a British Air
Force captain. who was with him
when he shot down the German plane

STAND BY THE PRESIDENT

The official organ of the Republi-
paper published in Washington-hot
ly resents the suggestion that the
people should support the Comman-
der in Chief of the Army and Navy"
by electing to Congress this fall men
who will stand by the President and
his war policies. Under the head
ing, "The People Will Punish the
Patrioteers at the Polls" the mouth
piece of the Republican national or
ganization lamely seeks to justify its
virtual demand that opponents rather
than supporters of the Administra-
ton be entrusted with legislative
commissions by the voters.
Unity of action in Washington is
as essential to the success of the war
as unity of command is essential to
military success on the battlefields of
Europe. This is not a theory; it is o
fact In past wars the people of
America have invariably have stood
by the party in power during the heat
of the conflict They supported Lin
coin in the trying days of the Civil
War, in response to his historic APP
peal mot to swap horses while cross
ing a river" they supported Mckin-
ley during the SpanishAmerican war
and they will support Wilson during
th;o 0raatest of all wars
The appeals of Lincoln's day and
McKinley's day are as appropriate
now as they were then. 1t may be
distasteful to certain Republican
leaders. who for one reason or an
other believed il incumbent upon
them TO criticize the President today
to have quoted the speeches they
made twenty years ago when theil
party was in power, but they must
lin fairness. concede that the argu
ments then used may now be applied
with equal force.

IMMENSE STORES NEEDED TO

ship has very little to do. Very little.
He is only called upon to pro-

MORE SMALL ARMS FOR
EXPEDITIONARY FORCES;
PRODUCTION COST DROPS

Grman timidity before American
pistol fighters armed with American
AS caliber automatic pistols has
brought about a change in the equip
ment of the American Expeditionary
Forces by the War Department and
the Ordnance Department is rushing
production of these weapons. About
3 1000 are turned out daily and pro-
duction is increasing. The impress
sion exists that shot from an Amer
lean AS takes a man out of action
completely. Men hit from the small
er German pistols. frequently contin-
ne in action effectively. The .45 cal
iber was adopted by the United States
army in 1911.
Despite the heavy increased de-
mand for these pistols the ammuni-
tion branch of the Ordnance Depart
ment has effected a saving durin :
the past two calendar months OF
nearly s2,000.000, mostly on small
arms ammunition. such as AZ calibcr
ball cartridges. 80 shells. and on
clips and bandoleers.
The total savings by the Ordnance
Department for these two months
through salvage. waste prevention
and the utilization or sale af discard
ed materials have aggregated SS..
757,O25. Cost of Nickers machine
guns has been reduced s322.35 each
Colt machine guns, s2S4.16 each
Lewis machine guns, s22 each. Gov
ernment rifles now cost S22 each. q

of the United Society of Christian
Endeavot. That organization does
not look upon social vices with COM
placency. That is what he says OF
conditions in General Pershing' S
army: "The American soldier over
seas is true to the finest traditions
of American arms. The stories OF
wholesale drunkenness and vice which
have greatly disturbed the minds OF
thousands of people who have given

PAVING OF MAIN STREET
iS THOROUGHLY DISCUSSED
Town Board Meets Representatives
of Water Company on Paving Issue

On last Monday noon Mr.. Wallace
and Mr.. King. representing the Je-
rome Water Works. were In Jerome
to confer with the town board ria
tive to the water mains on Main
street in connection with the pro-
posed paving.
A number of business men of Je-
rome, who are property owners in
the proposed paving district, we're
present and voiced themselves as in
favor of the paving, but not if it was
to be laid over the present made
quate and inferior wooden mains.
On having the question put squarely
up to him as regards the changing
of the mains to the alley or relaytn &
with cast iron ones, Mr.. Wallace
stated that his company would no
nothing voluntarily, owing to the fin
ancial condition of his company at
the present time. However, he prom
ised to give a definite answer in q
few days or as soon as he could get
an estimate of the work to be done
1t would seem that 1t is now W
to the village board to take the nee.
essary legal action to compel the
Water company to put its mains In
the proper shape and not rely on the
promises made by this company and
wait for an indefinite time for then
to fulfill them, as was the case re
garding the well and water supply
situation last fall
The matter of paving at this time
was discussed at some length From
various angles il seemed to be thu
opinion of those present, most o
whom were the ones who are to pa.
the bill. that the movement to paw
Main street should not be stopped a
this time. and that the board shoul'
go ahead and have the necessary .un
derground work completed as 500
as possible In order that the groun
n@y have ample time to settle. Wit
all this taken into consideration, to
gether with legal matters that wi
have to be settled. 1t will take o
least eighteen months before the az
tual paving can commence.

four years threatened to strangle.
there will be losses. The coming
days may bring sadness into many
homes. Already the pang of bereave-
ment has been felt in the breast of
the father, mother, wife, sister and
brother. Those who have no near
relative at the front can in these
times do service to their country
by showing kindness, sympathy and
consideration to those whose sons
have made the greatest sacrifice.
The county councils can be of un-
usual assistance in the trying times
ahead. Many sons from Idaho are
in the service of their country. They
left behind them all the comforts of
home, association of relatives and
friends, and vowed to make sacrifices
| in mind and body that the principles
of their country advocates may be
maintained. No act is more noble.

the progress OF the enemy. AS the
burden grows so will grow the casu-
