AMERICA IS PLANNING TO
FEED HER FORMER ENEMIES

1t is understood that the plan con-
templated by Mr.. Hoover, but which
the president is not known to have
approved, provides for rationing
system similar to that employed in
Belgium by the commission for relief
in Belgium, which was worked out by
Mr.. Hoover, chairman of the commits
sion, and his assistants on the basis
of the required number of calOries
necessary for each individual.
Supervision of this rationing, it was
said, would be in charge of repre-
sentatives of the allied and American
governments. All available food sup
plies in the central powers would first
be apportioned, including the reserves,
if any, held for the armies, it was
said.
A survey is now being made by
the administration to determine the
worlds food supply. Pending its COM
pletion the new food conservation plan
for the American public is held up.
The survey will include investigation
of the interior food supply available
in Austria-Hungary and the Balkans.
Officials of the food admins
are said to believe that investigation
will disclose food supplies which have
heretofore not been available owing
to dissention between the Teutonic
allies.
With Austria definitely out of the
war, the opening of the Mediterran-
can and the India route as we'll as the
so-called short Australian route will
release vast grain supplies and other
food stuffs in that part Of the world.
Austrian merchant, ships, it was said,
may be usel to transport these sup
plies.
The food program worked out by
the interallied food council, of which
Food Administrator Hoover is mem
Der, calls upon America to ship to
the allies II, 100000 tons of foodstuffs
the coming year. With the necessity
of assisting in feeding civilians in
middle Europe, it is roughly estimated
that minimum of 100000 tons will
have to be added to that figure,
though the ending of the war neces-
sarily will make possible increased
production throughout Europe next
year.

ENDING Of WAR WILL NOT
CHANGE CONDITIONS HERE

The ending of the war will not make
any change in conditions at the Univer-
sity of Idaho where 800 young men are
enlisted as members of the national army
and taking training in the student army
training corps known as the IS. A. L. I.
This information was brought to Or.
E. H. Lindley in telegram from The
committee on education of the war de-
partment at Washington, d. {. Ihe
telegram follows:
IS. A. T. C. units will continue mill
tary and academic work without inter
ruption regardless of armistice Plans
have been prepared for the future OF the
S. A. T. c. under conditions brought
about by the arrnistice which will be
sent you and the college authorities as
soon as authorized"
The telegram is signed Committee on
Education, per Rees."
s This news is welcomed here. There
are 800 men in the S. A. 7. c., divided
among class A and class B men, there
being 500 of the former and 30O OF the
latter. The former take the academic
course with military training. The lat
ter take auto and general mechanics and
radio work with the regulation military
training given in regular army work.
Both sections are being trained by army
officers and are under strict military
rule. The university has contract for
training 800 men in the vocational train
ing department, taking new contingent
of 800 every two months. The big plant
of the Idaho Harvester company IS be-
ing used for this work.

! America and the allies are planning
to cooperate in making available as
| far as possible food and other sup
plies necessary for the lives of the
demoralized civilian population in
once enemy countries This became
! known Tuesday through the publica-
tion of a message from Col. E. M.
House at Paris to President Wilson,
saying the supreme war council at
Versailles had adopted resolution
announcing its desire 70 CO operate
with Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey in
furnishing the necessities of life for
the suffering people of those nations.
The decision was reached by the
Versailles conferees on Monday,
President Wilson was advised Tues
day by Col. E. NJ House. "At the
conclusion of the meeting Of supreme
war council Tuesday" said Col.
Houses message, 81 proposed reso-
same was adopted: a'The supreme
, war council in session at Versailles
desires to cooperate with Austria,
Turkey and Bulgaria in the making
available as far as possible of food
and other supplies necessary for the
lives of the civilian population of those
Countries"
This announcement is expected to
have far-reaching effect in Ger
many, where, from all accounts, the
food situation is only little less seri-
Gus than it is in the countries until
recently allied with Germany in the
war. Conditions are represented as
particularly serious in Austria-H Hun
gary, where food riots have been fire.
quent and where there has been in
tense suffering not alone from the
want of food, but clothing and other
necessities.
Hoover Working Out a Plan.
Food Administrator Hoover, it was
said at Washington Tuesday, is
working out new food conservation
plans to assure supplies not only for
the people of the nations that have
been eliminated from the war, but
also the liberated populations of Bel
gium and northern France and even
Germany, when that country has ac-
cepted armistice terms now in the
hands of Marshal Foch.

MOSCOW CITIZENS FAILED
TO TAKE PART IN PARADE

Some dissatisfaction is expressed be-
cause of the few citizens who took part
in the big parade yesterday. Although
impromptu and arranged in short time,
it was felt that more citizens should have
taken part. President Lindley and the
university people, although very busy,
dropped everything else to take part and
the university and the soldiers (despite
the fact that more than 100 of them are
sick) made a fine showing. But the
university and military people were
somewhat disappointed because the citl-
zens of Moscow, while interested spec
tators, left all of the marching to BE-;
done by the university, S: A. T. G. and
company c people. The citizens evident
y did not understand that they, were
expected to take part in the parade and
show their joy over the declaration OF

ERRORS FOUND IN
ELECTION RETURNS
POSSIBILITY OF CANDIDATES
IN LATAH COUNTY LOSING
25O VOTES IN COUNT

An error which may make changes III
many election returns III Idaho was dis
covered today when the local board was
canvassing the returns for Lataf county.
It was discovered in the tally sheets that
duplicate numbers occur on SIX different
pages The errors occur on pages ~,
81, 43, S., 81 and o5. The latter page
did not carry any election returns in this
county and page 81 carried the returns
of the vote on constitutional amend
ments.
The error is peculiar one. The pages
are divided into spaces of 10 each, rum
ming from 0 upward. Where the count
reached 100 it is duplicated, 100 appear
ing twice instead of 100 followed by 10.
Thus where the count for a candidate
ended in the space that should be ITO
it appears as 100 and he is 10 votes short.
AS these books were used in every pre-
cinct in Latah county and probably
throughout the state, they would make
big difference in the total count.
I In Latah county it makes no differ
ence to any Of the candidates as none
of the successful candidates had ma
jority small enough to be changed. On
page 10 the vote of Judge Bulge for
supreme court shows, on some of the
books, 80 where it should appear lOo.
On page 43 E. J. Gemmill, republican
candidate for county assessor is credited
with 101 votes in one precinct where he
should have been credited with III. On
the same page John Nisbet, successful
candidate for prosecuting attorney, IS
credited with 102 votes in that precinct
when his total is really 112.
The page on which the tally of the
Gooding Nugent vote was kept is num-
bered correctly SO this error will make
no change in that office 1t will effect
state senatorships in many counties, how
ever, if the vote is close. With this
error it is possible to make a mistake of
10 in every precinct where these books
are used and with rs precincts in Latah
county it would be possible to make a
total error of $50 votes. This would
have no effect in Latah county, but it
might seriously effect the result in other
counties where the contest was close.
The matter was called to the attention
of the state republican central commit
tee at Boise by Adrian Nelson, probate
judge of Latah county, who discovered
the mistake.
These errors occur in the books fur
nished by Simms- York company. It is
not known here how generally these
books were used, but it is believed they
were used pretty generally throughout
Idaho.

WHERE TO PAY WAR
FUND SUBSCRIPTIONS

An error was made in the adver-
tisement paid for by the three banks
of Moscow yesterday for the COM
bined war funds drive. The adver-
tisement stated that the subscriptions
were payable at the three banks Of
Moscow. This is "a mistake. H. H.
Simpson, chairman of the drive says
subscriptions are payable at the Of
flee of the council of defense, in the
rear of the First Trust & Savings
Bank building; at the office of Fred
Veatch and at the office of Max Grit
fifth He requests that payments be
made to any one of these three places,
where receipts will be given for all
subscriptions.

better today than at any time since the
epidemic struck Moscow. There have
been no deaths since Sunday night and

case had been admitted to the hospital
while eight had been discharged as
cured. The new case is very mild. The
patient belongs to class A of the S. A.

ACCEPTABLE
PARTIAL SUBSTITUTES


Owing to the extreme scarcity OF
substitutes In this state the food ad-
ministration telegraphed that tenn
porarlly, potatoes may be added to
the list OF substitutes on the basis
OF four pounds Of potatoes to one
OF other substitutes TO the extent OF
one half the quantity OF substitutes
purchased.
For illustration with a sale OF so
pounds OF flour the buyer may take
100 pounds OF potatoes and 20
pounds OF substitutes. The pound
for pound regulation as to substi-
tutes for wheat flour is not affected
by the above except to the extent
that an additional substitute is tenn
porarily provided. This does not
mean that the consumer is compelled
to purchase potatoes as Substitute
but II he does not do so he must
purchase the full pound for pound OF
substitutes, list OF which was pub
lshed few days ago.

RUSSIAN l. W. WIS

Well. the dream is over. The bub-
Bile has burst! The pipe has gone
out! Bolshevism will not save the
world, nor democracy. nor anything

While the headlines OF the New

disposed OF the fantastic camouflage
whereby the Bolsheviki we're going
to instigate revolutions in Austria
and Germany and lead the kaiser to
sue for peace, the headlines on the
18th disposed of that greater Vlusioi
that the Bolsheviki would never
make separate peace and that be-
fore they would surrender to the
criminal demands Of the "Potsdam
Gang" they would again grid up
their Ioins and put on the armor for
the fight.
OF course, between those two dates
great illumination was shed upon
the whole Lenine-Trotzky game, by
the publication Of the documentary
proof that Lenine. Trotzky and 9TH

ed their revolutionary movement In
Russia with German funds. In fact,
the correspondence shows that the
Imperial Bank of Germany had or
dered half dozen different bankers
to honor checks not only from Len
Inc and Trotzky but from five
other Bolshevist leaders, including

COMMUNICATIONS

Mr.. Editor: Several citizens have
asked me. the object of the special
city election called for March 18th
to vote on the proposed amendments
to the city charter-ordinance 76s
set forth In the pamphlet is to
amend the charter OF the city, sc
that II may bid In the property OF
delinquent owners who. have failed
to pay the special assessments
against their lots. abutting por'
tions Of any street that has been
paved or improved, and charged M
to the owners.
Unless authority is given to the
city by this amendment the city
might advertise a lot for sale for
the delinquent assessment and II no
private person bid at the sale. or II
bid was submitted for less sum
than the amopnt due. the city could
not protect itself, by. buying in the
property. or advancing the bid by
competition. n no bid was offered
lby a private person. the city would
be obliged to pay for the printing OF
the advertisement and would accom-
lplish nothing towards collection.
When the bonds which the city gave
to raise the. money fall due II will
be obligedsto pay the same. whether
the money has been collected from
the abutting owners or not. This
amendment does not necessarily
mean that the city will proceed, to
foreclose the delinquent liens: but
will give1t the power to protect IT.
self. in case foreclosure becomes
necessary.
Unless there was such a power
given by the charter the taxpayers
of the city might haye to raise the
money by general taxation to pay
these bonds when they fall due.
The last amendment, No. 1853. Is
simply to change the date of the
city election. SO that II will be held
on the same date as the regular bi-
ennial election for state and county
officials and would save expense OF
special city election.
There does not seem to be any
good reason why both amendments
should not carry--the present city
council and the mayor are working
faithfully to advance the interest OF
the people, they have devised the
proposed amendments in the inter-
est of the people, and should be sus-
tanned.
Respectfully,
