WAR WORK IN IDAHO


Idaho has formidable geographical ~handicaps that work
against the state unity, but unity in a very important line
of endeavor is nevertheless being achieved. The Idaho state
council of defense, by its energetic prosecution of a state
wide campaign of coordination, is welding the northern and
southern counties into an effective and homogeneous unit
for the prosecution of the war.
Chairman Bryan of the state council, with other
state and national war work directors, has just closed a
very successful tour of the ten counties of northern Ida
no. Local councils of the various counties assembled at
convenient central points and conferred with the trav-
cling commission on problems of community organization.
One interesting and encouraging aspect OF the con-
ferences was the emphasis placed on reconstruction work
after the war, With its vital problems such as the assim-
ilation of returned soldiers, the useful occupation of those
who have been disabled and the readjustment of the
industrial organizations. This is a phase that ALL states
will have to take up sooner or later. To be sure the
immediate task of war workers is to expedite the win
ming of the war, which means primarily the raising of
funds. But after the war there will be much work to do,
and it would be a great waste to have the fine organiza-
tons that are being built up now disintegrate before the
%postbelum questions have been settled.-Spokesman-Re-
view.

CELEBRATING THE FOURTH

There probably has never been a more effectual eel
ebration of the nations birthday than that which occur
red Yesterday on the battlefields of France. The Austria
lans, French, British and American troops made fierce
and irresistible attacks on the kaiser's hordes "just to re-
mind them that this is the American holiday, the birth of
American liberty which is to spread throughout the world"
as it was nicely put by one of the British commanders.
And the celebration was successful. When the days fire
works had ceased to boom and the reckoning was made
it was found that more than 5000 Germans had been TAX
en- prisoner, probably an equal number were killed and
hundreds of guns of various sizes, thousands of rifles
and much booty had been taken.
The kaiser was whipped by British and Americans,
fighting side by side in celebration of the anniversary of
the date when the United Colonies threw off the yoke of
Great Britain, whose king at that time, George the Third,
was a German. 1t was a significant celebration and one
that the Hun will long remember.
But the day was celebrated yesterday as it has never
been celebrated before. Three South American countries
which have declared war against Germany, have made Ju-
1y 18th a national holiday in honor of America. King
George of England, attended an American baseball game
and cheered Justify and last but by no means least, 100
giant ships which will help to win the war for freedom
and put the kaiser out of business, slid into American

WHERE WAS YOUR FLAG?

81 have seen more American flags displayed on the
streets of Yokahoma, Japan, on the Fourth of July than
| saw in Moscow yesterday or on any other day since ]
have been here" said a man who has travelled extern
sive1y in this and foreign countries.
The absence of flags on the streets of Moscow on the
nations birthday was noted by a number of persons. This
was not due to a lack of patriotism, for Moscow people
are patriotic and when it comes to doing their "bit' for
their country they are always there" But it was due to
negligence. We are all negligent and careless. 1t takes
too much to get us started and keep us going on public
matters. We are too engrossed in making money or look
ing after our personal interests.
Moscow should have been gaily decorated with flags
and bunting yesterday, even if there was no public cele-
bration. 1t should have been done in honor to the flag
and the country: Let us be more thoughtful next time:
