ARMY INSPECTOR
IS WELL PLEASED
CAPTAIN BENEWAH, u. S. A.,
PRAISES CONDITIONS AT UNI
yERSITY OF IDAHO

Captain Benewah, u. S. A., in
spector, was here yesterday and made
- detailed inspection of coR5itions at
The university, where 100 men are be-
ing trained for special war work
Captain, Benewah was loud in his
praise of conditions as he found them
here. He reported to the war depart
ment that everything is entirely sat
isfactory and in his talks with Off
C.rs, men and faculty members he
made it plain that he approves of
conditions at the university. The re-
port of Captain Benewah will be sent
to the war department and will be Of
great benefit to the university in the
future. Captain Benewah has IN
spected all Of the schools for special
training in the west and he says that
the University of Idaho stands high
in the list. He inspected the men,
the quarters, the equipment, the
school, the mess hall and sleeping
quarters, going thoroughly over each
department.
Captain Edgington, commandant
in charge here, asks that all Moscow
citizens who wish to take physical
training as suggested by the Captain
recently, be at the university prompt
ly at o'clock Wednesday morning,
July 3. Captain Edgington asks that
%o %o1 fro nCr
work come with negligee shirts and
loose.fitting clothes. s-7-s-- - .se's.-vs
This is rare opportunity for busi-.
ness men, professional men and any
who feel that they do not get enough
of the right kind Of exercise, to
secure special physical training that
will be of inestimable value to them.
It is the kind Of training the govern
ment has found to be the best for de-
veloping all parts of the body and the
kind that makes the soldiers, who
have taken it, walk straighter and!
look better, cleaner and straighter
than. the civilians. 1t costs nothing,
and Captain Edgington and his staff
offer the men of Moscow this oppor-
tunity to take the training with the
enlisted men and secure what could
not be obtained at any price in any
other way. It is hoped that goodly
number of Moscow men will avail
themselves of this opportunity to get
this splendid Setting up" exercise
which will be given one hour every
morning.
Everything is moving nicely at the
university. The men are doing splen-
didly, are apparently well pleased
with their work, and Captain Edg-
ington speaks in the very highest
terms Of them as men and as SOL
diars, and praised the adaptability
hey are showing for this work and
the interest they are taking in it.
There is no doubt that Captain Edg-
ington is proud of his men and the
showing they have made in the two
weeks they have been under training.

Directed by FOch

Although the points of attack were
separated by about 100 miles, the
maneuvers seemingly had been well
considered by General Foch, the allied
commander in chief, as they were
carried out spontaneously.
The Berlin official communication
issued Friday evening made note of
the allied thrusts by declaring that
the Germans were busily engaged in
attempts to repulse them.

Allies Strike First

The British troops in Flanders and
the French forces further south ap-
parently have anticipated the pro-
posed German drive toward the Eng
Ilish channel ports or Paris and struck
first.
Although only slight details OF
the maneuvers thus far have been re-
vealed, the allied troops caught the
enemy unawares at important points
and took terrain which would have
been of considerable value as the
starting points of enemy attacks. A
comparatively large number OF prls-
oners and machine guns were left by
the Germans.
The attack of the British was de-
livered about midway between Haze
brouck and Bethune on front OF
nearly three and half miles.
Altogether, the attack was produc-
tive of an average gain of ground to
a depth of nearly mile, and included
the taking of several small hamlets.
It is probable the Germans in pro-
posed offensive in this region had set
their hearts on the capture of st.
Omar and the railway line running
thence to Calais and Dunkirk.
French Take 1,O60 Prisoners
The stroke of the French troops
was over. a still greater fEont@four
a--r--@ y, E. : .-... -s-'4.-
and half miles-and they penetrated
enemy positions at some points a
mile and quarter. The evident in
tention was further to block the gate
way to Paris through the Villers-
Cotterets region.
From Amblemy to the east Of
Motngobert, the French carried out
their offensive and overwhelmed
strongly fortified positions of the en-
emy along the entire front.
More than 1000 Germans fell into
the hands of the attacking forces.
