active participation by the United

in military policy. Today the allies are
engaged in defensive warefare ON the
western front.
" Win the war;" that is the slogan
that has been heralded thr uahout the
land. We must and we shall win the
war, but we cannot win it merely bv
defensive warfare We should have.
and we shall have more aggressive
policy. We can keep the Germans from
reaching the English channel and from
invading Paris for all time to come. but
thereby we would not win the war.
Provided, as they are at the present
time, with fresh stores of war supplies
and with men from the great Russian
empire, which have come to them as
spOils of war, the Germans are pre-
pared to long maintain their lines in
France, if the allies do not adopt a more
vigorous policy. And even though the
German lines were driven back beyond |
the Rhine, the war would not necessarily /
be won. The United States, in order to |
win the war, must hurl its might into
the conflict, and this the American gov
eminent, in drawing on more and more

"wILL THEY COME BAoKq'

A few weeks ago there was printed
in the Idaho County Free Press an edi-
torial entitled: ''Will They Come
Back" 1t was desired to show that,
enomored of the excitement of waf the
American soldier in Europe would, after
the war is over, be reluctant to return
to his home and to the monotony of a
workaday life but rather would seek
further adventure in the four corners of
the earth
On this identical theme, Robert w.
Service, the poet immortalized by his
poem, "The Spell of the Yukon and
who now is on the French front, has
written the following verses which have
Just come 10 hand:
The same old sprint in the morning.
boys, to the same old din and smut;
Chained all day to the same old desk,
down in the same old rut;
Posting the same old greasy books,
catching the same old trains;
Oh, how will l manage to stick it all,
if l ever get back again9
We've hidden goodbye to life in cage,
we've finished with pushing pen,
They re pumping us full of bellieosc
rage; they're showing us how to be
men.
We re only beginning to find ourselves:
we re wonders of Drawn and the z.
But when we go back to our sissy jobs
oh, what are we going to doa
w ell breathe free air and we II biv-
ouac under the starry sky;
We II march with men, and we IL fight
with men, and we II see men laugh
and die;
Wen know such joys as we never
dreamed; and Wen fathom the deeps
of pain;
But the hardest bit of all will be
when We come back home again.
For some of us smirk in a chiffon shop |
and some of us teach in a school;
Some of us help with the seats of our
pants to polish an office STOOL
The merits of somebody's soap or jam
some of us try to explain,
But all of us wonder whatever we II
do when we have to go back again.

RECLAssIFIcATIoN FOR ARMY

Redistribution of men of conscrip-
ton age seems necessary, in order that
the government may be provided with
an adequate supply of men to meet ex-
listing and future needs for the military.
At the time foriginal classifications
OIL registrants- months ago-men
At the time of original classifications
and now many of these men are being
put in classes subject to earlier call
than are the classes in which they were
originally placed.
1t seems that throughout the United
States there is much variation in the
percentage of registrants in Glass ! in
the numerous draft districts. In some,
the percentage is large. In others it is
low. In some districts, Glass l already
has been totally exhausted, not so much
by reason of heavy calls for registrants,
but because of what may be termed
leniency in classifications.
1t is proper that draft classificatiOns
should be equalized throughout the Unit
ed States. Each man should be made
to bear his rightful portion Of the
national burden.
Yet it is unfair to upbraid all draft
officials who are now obliged to take
men from deferred classifications and
place them in Glass l. At the time the

DISTRIBUTION OF OFFICES

Certain of the newspapers of Idaho
county have been worrying over the dis
tribution of county offices at the forth
coming election, and have intimated that
Grangeville wants all the county off
Gals to come from the east side OF
Camas Prairie, quite forgetting that
there are other section of Idaho county
which possess men of county office
stature.
1t would be ill-becoming of the peo-
pie of Grmgeville and vicinity to cons
pire to capture all county offices, as
has been limited by one newspaper in
Idaho county. Under the direct prim-
AIRY law, any person possessing the nee
essary legal qualifications, no matter
where he may reside in Idaho county,
may announce himself as a candidate
for public office in the county or state,
and if nominated, he will be his party s
candidate at the general election.
The voters will be the final judges,
and it is safe to say that they will give
consideration to every as
pirant.

troops are being trained, and the islands
are planning to offer $4,000 well-drill-
ed soldiers to the United States.
A report from Manila says:
subscriptions to the three Liberty
loans in the Philippines amount to S.
$4,000, and treasury certificates TO the
sum of $l0,0OOOOO have been purchased,
making total of more than $4,000, 600
subscribed to wartime securities. War
savings and thrift stamps have been
bought to the extent of $4,000 by "a
large number of small subscribers. The
Philippines are Keeling the war also in
great increase of trade, the total
foreign trade for the first six months
Of last yea being SS,5OO,OO0 over that
for the corresponding period for the
preceding year Much of this increase
has been made possible by the fact that
sixteen Of the interned ships in Philip
pine waters have been repaired in Man
lila drydocks and are carrying valu-
able cargoes of raw materials to the
United States
This great war work by the people of
the Philippines cements them closer to
their guardian and protector, the Unit
ed States of America, and at the same
time makes for greater unity of the IN
iabitants of the islands.

THE soARDs CASE

The grand jury has adjourned without
finding single indictment in the
soards murder case. Sixteen men, after
examining. in secret session for more
than a week, large number of witness
es we're unable to procure sufficient
evidence as to who were the murderers
of Henry Soards to bring an indictment.
It will be interesting to note the re-
suit which the grand jury investigation
will have on those persons who have
been openely criticizing the officials of
Idaho county because they were unable
to round up the murderers Of Soards.
The Free Press had hoped that it would
be possible to bring to justice the STAY
ers of Henry Soards, for the crime was
most heinous one. Yet, it seemed that
the identity of the murderers was so
carefully concealed that the county Of
ficials did not feel that evidence they
had procured was sufficient to warrant
arrests. If they thought they knew who
the murderers were, they did not posses
the necessary facts to justify an arrest.
At the same time the officials were
severely criticized by certain persons,
because they did not arrest men against
whom there possibly was little evidence
of guilt. Now, the grand jury, after
conducting a thorough probe of the
Soards murder, also has failed to Of
ficially point its finger toward anyone
suspected of the killing. 1t develops
then, that the criticism of Idaho |
county officials was nothing more than
malicious nagging on the part of few
disgruntled politicians who, seeming
that an election is near, sought to take
advantage of the complications present
ed by the Soards murder, to discredit in
the public eye certain men who now hold
office in Idaho county.
The grand jury also investigated re-
ports of an alleged still near Cotton
wood, and the matter seems to have
turned out as inconsequential. It is well,
also, that the grand jury looked into
these rumors, for now there will be set
at rest tongues which have been wag-
ging about mooshine still in opera
ton somewhere near Cottonwood

original classifications were made, many
of the men who now are rendered imme-
diately liable or service, were entitled
to be placed in deferrer classes because
of the large number of men of lesser
business or domestic responsibility who
were available. Now the supply of these
registrants is nearing exhaustion, and
something must be done to replenish the
list of available men. Hence the re-
classification. And it will ill-beeome
any man to balk when his time arrives

OUR SOLDIERS

The glorious achievements of our
troops now on the west front have cleo
trified not only our glorious land, but
all the allied lands as well They have
brought to every real American citizen
a pride which is the most precious pos
session of citizenship. These noble boys,
unframed according to the German
viewpoint, have whipped twice and
thrice their number of German troops in
every engagement and have held every
gain against the most desperate attacks
of the enemy. Thus have the free men
of the republic justified every conf
dence and hope of the people at home,
and those of the allied troops, weary
with four years of unceasing warfare.
The doom of Germany is at hand and
American soldiers will write it in
characters of blood and fire across the
blood-stained battlefields of Europe, and
possibly over the kaiser s door in
Potsdam. A. f. p.

AFTER THAT
FERRY SLIP

An attempt by L. Y. Stayton,
Tacoma cement contractor, to pre-
vent the city and county from
building a ferry slip at PIT. De-
fiance park, win be headed off by
a committee of citizens chosen by
Mayor Fawcett.
Stayton recently wrote to the
war department in protest against
the ferry landing at PIT. Defiance,
calling the departments attention
to the fact that the government
gave the point property to the city
for park purposes only.
Copies of Stayton's correspond
ence were received by Fawcett
last week and he turned them
over to a committee headed by
A. v. Love. This committee will
appear before U. S. engineers in
Seattle this week, and attempt to
show the government that the
ferry landing will not be COM
mercial enterprise and will not
spoil the beauty Of the park in
any way.
Permission OF the park board to
build the ferry slip at the park
was granted recently on stipula-
ton that the city and county re-
ceive the governments approval
of the plan.
No construction work has been
started yet. A crew OF city en-
gineers has spent the past fort
night making surveys and plans
for the new dock.
