Jos. L Sweeney, is an English

Boise.-Dr. r. ~ Jackson of Sand
point is the new medical superinten-
dent of the South Idaho asylum at
Blackfoot. He was elected by the
board of trustees and accepted the
position. Telegraphic information was
received by Governor Alexander con-
tanning this announcement DR.. Jack
son succeeds Dr. Pike, who recently
placed his resignation in the hands
of the board of trustees, which reluct-
antly accepted it.
Senator Jackson represented Bon
ner county in the last state senate. He
is a democrat in political faith and
was elected to the senate over Guy M.
Martin, at one time candidate for gov
ernor on the progressive ticket. While
serving in the senate Senator Jackson
played a conspicuous part in the dis
posing of medical legislation and was
active in the debates over the pro-
vision confined in the workmen's COM

DAIRY SCHOOL MEN
ARE IN DEMAND
THREE SHORT COURSE MEN FROM
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO
GET PLACES

The demand for men educated in
dairy work is far greater than the
supply and Professor E. S. Goss, head
of the dairy department, finds it diff
ficult to hold men until they complete
their work. Undergraduates are want
ed for dairy work and the draft has
taken many while many who were not
of draft age have volunteered and en-
tered some branch of the army or
navy.
During the past few days three
short course men have been taken
from the dairy school by business
concerns that wanted men who have
technical training in dairy work. Har-
ry McKeever, of Kendrick, goes to
Salmon, Idaho, where he is to take
charge of the Salmon Creamery com
pany's plant at that place.
Wilmot Ramsey, of Standpoint, has
been employed by large COW testing
association of Montana, to take charge
of their work in that line. r. K.
Reeder, OF Moscow, has been employ
ed by the Moscow Creamery.

NO DRIVE TO
Be MADE BY
GERMAN ARMY
INDICATIONS NOW POINT TO GER
MANY PLANNING TO HOLD
WHAT SHE HAS
HUNS NOW ON DEFENSIVE.
IMMENSE FORTIFICATIONS BEING
BUILT BACK OF THE WEST
ERN FRONT

WASHINGTON is a growing
suspicion that Germany's much adver-
tised offensive on the west was bluff
to put the allies on the defensive while
the Germans built permanent fortifi-
cations, with great forts and systems
of pill boxes" and other Notifications
extending for miles back of the Ger
man front, indicate that the Huns are
preparing for a defensive rather than
an offensive.
1t has been pointed out that the ad-
vertising of great drive or offensive
movement is so unlike the German
system, which has always been to un-
dertake to surprise the allies, indicates
that it was only feint and that Won
Hindenburg really has no intention
of trying to break through the west
ern front.
The erection of massive concrete
forts and lines of defensive fortifca-
tions extending for miles back of the
present front, indicates that Germany
is preparing to hold what she has
seized on the west while she consoli-
dates Russian and Finland territory
on the east.
This theory is gaining in acceptance
as more is being learned of Germanys
preparations to resist an attack and
it is becoming apparent that there for
tifications would not be erected if Ger
many was planning to advance in the
west, but are rather being made to
prevent the allies advancing and re-
taking the territory Germany wrested
from France and Belgium in the early
months of the war.
A military expert suggests that when
Germany gets these permanent for
tifications completed she may make
another offer of peace and try to hold
the territory she has taken in the
east as we'll as what she has left of
the territory seized in the west The
belief is growing that Germany never
intended to make great offensive
drive in the west and that her adver-
tising of such drive was merely
