ONE EXPECT OF YANKS?

LONDON, Oct. (by maiD For
good behavior American soldiers are
walking on with the palm.
The Londoner is favorably i'm
pressed with the quiet. gentlemanly
conduct and soldierly bearing of the
Yankees Although vast numbers OF
American soldiers are met in London
streets every day, not a single case
of drunkenness among them has been
brought to public notice.
Voluntary women workers at the
Eagle hut are unanimous in their
praise OF Americans. who. they say,
are always courteous and never in

at a well-turned compliment and does
not try to hide his appreciation OF
what English women are doing.

banished the festive alligator from his
old haunts and the steel-ribbed skele-

The shipyards now employ approx
imately 1000 men who draw wages
totalling S225.000 weekly. Notwith-

DEFENSE COUNCIL
CALLS MEN TO TASK
MAN WHO FAILED TO BUY
STAMPS RECOMMENDED TO
BE PLACED IN CLASS

Six residents of Latah county were
called before full meeting of the
county council of defense today to
show why they refused to buy thrift
or war savings stamps and had failed
to do what the council thought was
their duty to do toward the financing
Of the war. The men gave various
excuses for not having done more and
promised to do better.
The hearing was held in the coun-
cil's rooms and was not open to the
public, but was attended by most Of
the members of the council. Those
who were called before the council
are:
Gust Nelson, H. L. Kerlson, Gust
Hallam and p Orvick, all of Bear
creek precinct; and Andrew and
Granville Wall, of Linden precinct
The last named is married man,
with no children and has been in
class 4. The council recommended
that he be placed in class 1 and be
called for service This recommended
ton was sent to the local draft board
and it will take the matter up at
its next meeting.
Latah county is very short of men
for class l and if a call as large as
the last two calls comes the county
will be unable to fill it.
