 SERVICE TO THE SICK

This kind of weather calls for sac rifices of different nature.
 Miss Cullins, of Little Rock, who is traned nurse and who has beenn at Desha for some time visiting rel atives, was called Sunday by MT. Charlie Maxwell to come to his home and attend his daughter, who is i'll. The river was frozen and could not be ferried. Miss Cullins having walk ed to the river and finding it frozen walked right across to a point just below the ferry and was met there by Mir. Maxwell in a conveyance and brought her to town.

BRAZIL HAVING SPY SCARE.

, Ro Grande Do Sul, Brazil, Dec. IS. Brazil, now that it has entered the war, is having it's spy scare and it has become more general even than in some of the other belligerent coun- tries. It is only necessary for per son to be a foreigner and a stranger in any Brazilian town to become the- object of suspicious regard by the people and even of police surveil- lance.
 Orders have gone out from Rio de Janeiro for the arrest of large num- bers of Germans, many of whom ap- pear to be innocent business men, al though there is no doubt but that GeT- man espionage is well organized III Southern Brazil. Spies are reported to have been especially active in the state of San Paulo and the govern ment has taken rigid measures for watching all suspects there.
 As soon as the government began these measures of precautions, how ever, a large number of rich and well known German business men, who under suspicion of being German government agents succeeded ln es- caping into the Argentine Republic with whatver secrets they may have had

~MY FOUR YEARS IN GERMANY >

Sunday and Monday night the pic
ture My Four Years in Germany"
adapted from the book of the same
title written by James W. Gerard,
former American ambassador to Ger
many, was shown at the Auditorium.
This picture has been seen from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and is one of
the most instructive lessons that can
be presented to the American nation
al this particular time when We are
engaged in war against Germany. 1t
shows what Ambassador Gerard had
to contend with, shows how utterly
impossible ii was for America 10 safe
guard her rights and those of humanity
without resorting TO force of arms.
One of the most impressive scenes in
the picture is where the raw recruits
of the selective draft service are shown
on their way to the camps. and in the
next scene they are shown after i've
months of training. In this last
scene they are shown marching in
uniform. fully equipped. and ready for
fight or frolic. The scenes of the
picture are well arranged and we'll
presented. taking the audience from
the court in Germany to the prison
camps of English and French soldiers
held in Germany. and then TO the
training camps in America. The au-
diences at the Auditorium were not at
all what they should have been in size.
and it is to be regretted that more
people did not see this splendid pre-
sentatiOn of Mr.. Gerard's book. By
far the greater part of the audiences

SUNDAY AFTERNOON. JUNE 2s.

Somewhere in Power county, a small
detachment of Co. A men undertook a
flank movement against an orchard
which was believed to be lightly held
by another detachment of the same
company. BY miscalculating the dis
tance, the small detachment suddenly
deployed in the rear of the other, and
although completely outnumbered Sc
verely punished the larger detachment
and put il to rout.
Casualties: Killed, none; slightly
wounded, four; missing, all except 20
of American Falls detachment
The picnic, drill and church services
of Co. A at Camp Sorenson last Sun
day was a violently successful drive,
minus the counter attack. The men of
Capt. Ley's command exhibited to the
800 visitors present, an amazing ver
satility in the rudimentary maneuvers
OF warfare, executing the manual of
arms, close and extended order, bat
talon and company drill like veterans.
Their particular adaptability to mod
ern war was best displayed at mess
call. and upon orders to fall out" for
refreshments consisting of ice cream,
lemonade. etc. The drill extended
from 1880 a. m. until $50 p. m. in
terspersed with rest periods and
church field services conducted by
Rev Wuest acting chaplain at two
o'clock in the afternoon. The cere-
monies of field service were most i'm
pressive. A recount of the days events
would not be complete however with
out having made special mention Of
the strength and enthusiasm of the
Aberdeen detachment. and of the vol
unteer service rendered by the Aber-
.ieen band. which furnishd music of
quality and without stint and led Co.

If the men do nor attend drill when
they can they surely are not living

men who do not attend drill.
Only one drill will be given each
week and every member of the COM

This week the drill Will be held on

a call for 1000 men to entrain from
Idaho for Camp Lewis American Lake,
Wash, during the five-day period be-
ginning July p, was received at the
adjutant generals office Saturday.
White men qualified for general
military service are to be inducted
The provost marshal general all
thorizes the adjutant general to allot
the call lin such a manner as will
provide the required number of quail
fed men from within class l with the
least disturbance of industrial and ag-
ricultural conditions in your state
The small number of men in class
from which TO select the states quota
will necessitate the calling Of some
registrants engaged in farm work
1t will not be necessary, however, to
make demands upon deferred classes
Exclusive of additions resulting from
reclassifications being made by the
draft boards of the state for the pur-
pose of applying more rigidly the
qualifications for service, the men re-
naming in class l after the filling of
the call for 2O0O men this month will
be reduced to 961 when the call re-
ceived Saturday is filled
County quotas were not announced
for the new call Saturday
The status of the registrants of the
class of June 5, this year, with respect
to the new call has not been deter
mined by the adjutant generals office.
No reference is made to them in the
order. Questionaires are TO be mailed
out to the registrants the last of the
month. The registrations for Idaho of
the new class totaled PISS
A special call for men qualified for
limited or special service, which was
announced Saturday through the press
by the provost marshal general, will
probably not affect Idaho as two calls
for men of this class have already

versity June 15, and one for the same
