HITS AT WARMONGERS
Maximilian Harden Says They
Should Be MuzzIed.
German Editor Finds No Justification
For GIoating Over Alleged Teu-
tonic Triymphs.

London.-By reading the following
extract from a recent number of the
Zukunft, Macmillan Harden's German
newspaper, one may understand why
Herr Harden is in constant difficulties
with the military authorities:
after all, what special Justification
is there for the Pan-Germans and the
war at any price mouth heroes to gloat
over recent triumphs over the Eng
lish7
1T Is true that the U-boats have
.contrived to bring 1t about that in an
English hotel or boarding house no
more meat is supplied at breakfast and
that afternoon tea guests receive only
an ounce and a half of bread or cake.
Also an old maid of Dover, who fed
her fourteen little dogs with milk and
biscuits, has had to atone for her
crime with a five pound note. All this,
however, does not yet spell the decay
of the British empire.
1T is time that the warmongers
were muzzled and that the authorities
once for all gave them to understand
ludt Lucy are UctcIIllucO, WucucVc
the claims Of any nation or group of
peoples are found to be justified, that
Germany would honestly aid them in
establishing themselves on a clean ba-
sis of self-government.
MAY our rulers reflect while yet
there is time that, unless q new order
be substituted for the old one of vio-
lence and force, human life will be-
come intolerable and all hopes of hui
man development will be rendered
for ages to come.
Questions Of the very highest i'm
port are at stake, questions that are
not concerned about securing Ger
world power, but that involve
the utilization Of that power in the up
building of q new, bright and joyful
world, in which, If its founda-
ions are to stand strong for all time,
every nation, the greatest, the small
,st-Germany as well as all the others
must sacrifice self to secure its
.leighbor's welfare.
'This Is the command of the hour.
Dare Germany hesitate in obeying it?'

In MOntdidier Sector

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE-A gigantic enemy ammuni-
ton dump at Cantigny was fired by the
American artillery Monday morning,
At the same time two fires were start
ed in Montdidier, followed by numer-
BUS explosions.
The weather continues misty and
rainy. There was no infantry action
Monday and only intermittent machine
gun and rifle fire. The position Of the
Germans is becoming more and more
intolerable, while the Americans are
'entrenching their positions more firm
ly. Any hopes the enemy might have
had of breaking through in this sec
tor are diminishing.
The Americans tax e nothing for
granted, but return fire two to one,
which is believed to set a new pace
in this sector. What appears to trou-
Bile the Germans most is that the
Americans never turn back when the
enemy is using gas. They give him
double the dose, with everything else
the enemy tries.

WHERE is MOsCOw's SPORTING SPIRIT

Much disgust has been manifested by the lack of sup
port for sporting events at the University of Idaho. Last
Saturday, with one of the closest and best track meets
between the two rival schools, 68 persons, may of them
from Pullman, paid admission. The receipts were $34.
of college spirit that is unforgivable and is inexplicable
is putting it too mildly.
What has become of the old college spirit that ran
so high here when the university was not as good a
school as it is now? The writer, attended many meets,
football games and contests between the two schools
and never saw as good fighting spirit, as much of the
spirit that wins, as was shown in those contests. The
end of Main street, would hardly hold the crowds. Re-
ceipts ran into the thousands of dollars There was in
tense interest and the real college spirit that makes for
success.
1t is said that last fall was the first time when the
university lost money on a football game with W. S. c.
and this actually occurred in Moscow. Three baseball
games between Idaho and other schools have been played
here this year and the receipts for the three games were
50. or So per game. Does anyone suppose that athletics,
the very life of a university, can continue with such
lack of support and interest? If he does, let him get that
idea out of his head, for it has no foundation in fact.
Moscow must wake up. The university is our one
greatest asset and it must have support. When visitors
come to attend such a meet as was held here last
Saturday, where it took the relay race to decide the
68 paid admissions, that visitor will carry away with him
a mighty poor opinion of Moscow's interest in her great
school.

whose funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon and
whose death has caused probably as general sorrow as
any event that has occurred here in years.
One who has known Mr.. Byrns can not read the above
lines by Shakespeare without having his thoughts turn
to the kindly face, the gentle man and the pleasing
smile that has been SO familiar upon the streets OF Mos
COW for a quarter of a century.
When the people return from the cemetery tomorrow
afternoon every one will feel that he or she has left in
that place of rest the body of one who was indeed a
friend and whom it was a pleasure and a privilege to
have known.

The business men of Orofno showed their patriotism
and love of fair play last week when they bought eight
pages of advertising space in the Clearwater Republican
for the Red Cross. Instead of letting the newspapers
carry all of the burden of these drives in which every
one should be deeply interested, the business men helped
the newspapers by buying the space used. 1t cost none
of them a great sum and the drive was thoroughly ad-
vertised and great good was done for the Red Cross
and the newspaper did not have to do it unassisted. That
is an example that might well befollowed by other
is an example that might we'll be followed by other
towns. Lewiston, Colfax, Pullman, Pa1ouse and other
that have newspapers.

st. Marks Rectory, Moscow
Editor Star-Mirror:
May l plead with we fellow citi-
zens to make Memorial Day in Mos
cow something memorable? / do
not know how it is kept usually, but
I do know how it should be kept this
year. President Wilson's splendid
and dignified words require neither
adding to nor taking from, but they
need to be taken to heart. | would
humbly suggest that all lighter
amusements give place to ONE pub
lie manifestation of the Nations faith
in God. Let the churches hold SER
vices at many hours, so that some oc-
casion may be found suitable to every
citizen. Let the children be gathered
in a procession of witness and as
sembled for prayer in the Park, and
let the citizens unite in some great
~Servie, in the open air or otherwise.
Have a Memorial program of prayers,
hymns, ETC., printed and distributed
to every citizen. Incidentally let all
arrangements be made well in ad-
vance and let every township in the
county know what Moscow intends to
do.
Believe me, sir, such an effort
patriotic fervour than anything you
could devise. We have the testimony
Of our leading generals that the boys
think more about and are helped more
by this sort of activity at home than
by any other effort. We ought to
send our memorial program, suitably
printed, to every boy gone from the
county.
Shortly before he died upon the
of honour, Britain's youngest
brigade commander, General Brad
ford, v. c., M. c., who was only 25,
said to his men:
Regard me as a friend, and by the
help Of God l will lead you to the
pest of my ability. Your interests
ire mine.

SPOTS SUBMARINE
ON BED OF OCEAN
Seaplane Has Important Part in
Hunting Down German
U-BOatS.
SHARED WITH STEEL ROPES
Enemy Is Given Five Minutes to Rise
and Surrender, Then 10 Blown
Up-Vivid Description by
English Writer.

OIL Oh the metnOQS b.
which, as the first sea lord, Sir Fri
Geddes said recently, the submarin,
menace is being "held," is wildly de
scribed by a writer in the Liverpool
Journal of Commerce.
A seaplane had spotted" a subma
rine lying on the sea bed. Instantly
the observers finger commenced tt
tap a key. Ten miles away a long
lean destroyer and foul squat trawlers
detached themselves like a pack OF
hounds working a covert, and FASTENED
to the kill. Meanwhile the ~seaplane
circled around. When the surface
ships arrived, her instructions, deliv-
cred by wireless. were curt and pre-
; else.
Acting upon them the trawlers sta
toned themselves at the four corners
Of a wet quadrangle, while the de-
stroyer kept her guns ready to talk to
Fritz should he appear above the sur
face.
The trawlers at the corners got out
their sweeps-long wire hawsers, with
a heavy "kite'' in the center to keep
their bights down on the seabed-and
commenced to steam toward each
other.
AS the pairs of vessels met, their
wires simultaneously engaged them
selves under the U-boat's bow and
stern, and commenced to work their
sinuous way between her hull and the
sea bottom.
Then the strange thing happened.
Two round, black objects seemed to
detach themselves from her hull and
float surfaceward, to hover a second
and then to commence bobbing down
the tide.
"Minelayer, eh?" called the sea-
planes observer.
"That's it, lad" came the te1ephoned
answer, "but her eggs can wait for a
minute.'
Then the trawlers crossed their de-
pendent cables and thus held the u
boat in a kind of wire cats cradle. She
seemed to suddenly awake to her
danger, for with a bound she tried to
disentangle herself from the meshes
which held her. But it was no use;
the trawlers had been too long at the
game and the submarine was doomed.
Got him." signaled the seaplane.
"Thanks," responded the destroyer.
"We,n give him five minutes to come
up and breathe, but no longer" That
time passed but still Fritz made no
further 10Y
The End Of the U-Boat.
At a flag signal from the destroyer
the port foremost trawler and the star
board after one clipped a small red
tin Of high explosive to the bar-taut
wire, and allowed it to slide down till
touched the U-boat's hull.
It was the s%eaplane's turn to wave a
flag, and Immediately there followed

keys; the uprising of two gray mounds

The seaplane circled twice above
the patch Of rising oil, ascertained
that Fritz had been destroyed, and
notified the destroyer. Then, with her
observer slipping a drum of cartridges

BROTHER OF MRS. MARSH


Mrs. W. c. Meade of this city has
just received the very sad news that
her brother, DR.. Teter Of Cleveland,
Ohio, was among the soldiers who
lost his life on the Inflated Tampa,
which was torpedoed off the coast of
Ireland several weeks ago. The name
of Or. Teter was not mentioned in the
first accounts giving the casualty list
and his relatives have just been mott
fed OF his death in this terrible disas-
ter, in which so many of our soldiers
persisted
DR.. Teter was assistant surgeon on
the Tampa.
Mrs. Meade's Ocala friends will
learn with a great deal OF regret Of
the sadness that has come into her
life in the death of her brother.
