GREAT VICTORY
IN WALLA WALLA
MOSCOW HIGH SCHOOL BASKET
BALL TEAM CHAMPIONS OF
TWO STATES

Last Saturday night at Walla Walla
the speedy Moscow high school hoop
shooters administered defeat to the
Garden City boys. The score, when
the wrangle was settled, was $3.50.
The count was 1918 at the end of the
first half and 1928 at the end of the
game. A five-minute period was then
played and Walla Walla Immediately
got two free throws. Just as Gimme
diately," however, Moscow got three
field baskets and due to the guarding
of Robert Cozier and Ben Keane,
Walla Walla was not able to take
any short shots during the period.
No star can be picked for Moscow.
Nelson made eight baskets. Fox, who
also guarded the back passes, slipped
away long enough to make five
baskets. Thompson played man who
WIS 6 feet .3sinehes in his soelsa- and
got the tip-off almost every time be-
side rolling in one basket.
The boys say they received excel
lent treatment everywhere they went
on the trip, everyone is feeling fine
and is training hard for the game
here with Walla Walla next Thurs
day.
Coach Glossep said his team was
beaten fairly and added that although
his star forward was out of the game
Saturday, that when they came up
here next Thursday he expected to
bring his whole first string. The

JEROME J. DAY
To HELP MANY
YOUNG MINERS
MAKES ENDOWMENT WORTH $685.
600 TO THE UNIVERSITY
OF IDAHO
POUNDS 4 SCHOLARSHIPS
FRIEND OF THE SCHOOL OF
MINES MAKES COETRIBU-
TION OF GREAT VALUE

A gift to the university of scholar
ships in the school of mines amount
ing to an endorsement of between
$4,000 and $4,000 was announced in
Wallace this morning by Jerome J.
Day, we'll known north Idaho mining
man. Dean F. A. Thomson ofthe min
ing college was with Mr.. Day at the
time his gift was made public.
Four scholarships are provided for
by Mr. Days endowment, one $3.50
contribution becoming effective each
year, so that at the end of four years,
four undergraduates in the school of
mines will be receiving total annual
income of $1,000.
The following statement with re-
gard to the scholarship was made by
Dean Thomas for publication today:
"Thru the generosity of Jerome
Day, an interesting stimulus has been
offered to the youth of the Occur
d'Alene region to fit themselves for
the practice of mining engineering
by taking a course in the Idaho Min
ing School at Mr.. Days expense.
How Scheme Works
beginning with this year Mr.. Day
offers to graduates of Shoshone
county high schools a scholarship
tenable for four years and having an
annual income of $3.50. One of these
scholarships will be open each year,
so that in four years Mr.. Days in
vestment in the youth of Shoshone
county will amount to $1,000 a year,
actually the equivalent of a $4,000
or $25,000 endorsement. The scholar
ship is to be awarded by the Day
Scholarship Committee consisting of
DR.. E. A. Bryan, commissioner Of
education, President Lindley, of the
University of Idaho, and myself.
How Awards Are Made
"The award is to be made upon
scholarship as determined by series
of non-competitive examinations, up
on interest in athletics and upon
qualities of leadership and ability to
cooperate with teachers and fellow
students.
"Mr. Day denies any philanthropic
motives and simply states that the
operations with which he is connected
need more technically trained men to
be is taking this means of stimulating
the supply
$50 far as known these are the
first mining scholarships offered any
where in the west, and I feel that
both Mr.. Day and the Idaho School
Of Mines are to be congratulated on
he innovation"

Praise for Count Czernin

Draws Deadly Parallel

Throughout his address President
Wilson drew parallels between the
speeches of the German chancellor and
the Austrian prime minister and
praised the Austrian prime minister's
speech as being clear, friendly and
pointing out possible way for perm
anent peace, elements which he de-
clared were utterly lacking in the
speech of tn German chancellor. The
presidents address was heard by a
crowd that filled the gallery and is
regarded as strong arraignment of
Germany's insincerity.
Many members of both houses eX-
pressed approval of the presidents
address, thinging it opportune and the
essence of permanent peace. Senator
Reed, Democrat, said: "It is shrewd
move to dissolve the alliance between
Germany and Austria" Republican
Leader Mann said: ''The address,
while spoken to the house, was plainly
not addressed to it; it was addressed
to the chancellories of Germany, Aus
tria and Others"

Count Czernin would probably have
gone much further had it not been
for embarrassing Austrias alliances

Count Czernin seems to see the
fundamental elements of peace with
clear eyes and does not seek to OBJ
scure them," said the president.

WASHINGTON President Wilson,
in addressing congress- today on the
attitudes of the German and Austrian
governments toward a permanent
peace and the methods to be pursued
to attain this desired end in the pres
ent conflict, laid down five cardinal
principles which must be observed in
order to secure a peace that will be
acceptable. President Wilson an
nounced the principles as follows:
"First-Each part of final set
tlement must be based on essent-
iaI justice to bring permanent
peace.
"SeconH- Peoples and provinces
must not be bartered about like
chattels to establish balance OF
power.
ssThird- Territorial settlements
must be for the benefit of the
peoples concerned, not merely
adjustment of rival states claims.
ssFOurth-WeIl defined national
aspirations must be accorded all
possible satisfaction.
'Fifth-A general peace, upon
such foundations can be discuss
ed. Until such peace can be Sc
cured we have no choice but to
go on"
sThese principles" said President
Wilson, "have been accepted by every
one excepting the military autocrats
in Germany"

SaiIorinn Is Different.

Sailorlng on the briny deep is en-
tirely different than doing the same
stunt on land. This was admitted by
a landlubber from Pittsburgh, who
has just returned from his first vOy-
age with a brand new seaslck story.
'The first day / vas out" said the
amateur navigator, "the old tub rolled
like a barrel, and before l knew it l
was in the throes of NAL de mer. The
bunch guyed me and told me my job
was driving a trolley car instead Of
sailoring. I had to seek my bunk.

when the ships surgeon visited me
and c%allously asked What's the mat
ter?' 'O-o-oh, I'm so sick I told him,
and l rolled over in agony. Come, get

been torpedoed and we're sinking I
fell out of my bunk and scrambled
to the deck. The bunch again derided
me. Say. have you ever been seaslck?'

SO farmers joined this "non-political'
league. They sent delegates to the
convention.
They found a pre-arranged plan,
not altogether of Endorsement. but of
outright nominations-all picked in
advance by leaders of the league.
They found Fred T. Dubois, a cur
ming politician, on the ground pulling
the wires. The leaders Of the league
and Mr.. Dubois ran the convention
and everyone knows the result.
There was an invasion of the Dem

shown by court records, by public ut
terances and by the charges today of
leading men, one of them United
States Treasurer Burke. a member OF
President Wilson's official family,
who is openly fighting Townleyism in
North Dakota-the same Townleyism
existing in Idaho-on the grounds OF
its opposition TO the war and its fail
ure to support the war policies OF
President Wilson's administration.
The situation in Idaho leads US be-
yond the platform of these Nonparti-
tons and their purpose to do in this
state what they have done in North

The farmers OF Idaho are loyal and
deserving. There is no class on a
higher standard of citizenship. Many
of them have been induced to join
this league and to follow these leaders

bearing a sugar coating.
II we did not believe our farmer
citizens were being misled into Social

any substantial good could come to

these Nonpartisan leaders in power in

But We see so many evidences OF
