of the ~shipowners.
1t would have been within the rights
of the United States to take the yes

that only the use of the ships would
be required. After the war they will.

and athletic coach for the University Of
Idaho since 1912, has resigned his posi-
ton to accept place on the faculty of
the Texas Agricultural and Mechanics

Stockholm, where he represented the
United States at the Olympic games.
Since he began his work as coach here

the exception of four, two of which were
his own records, were made here They
were the half mile and mile records, and
were established in 1905 at the Lewis

CALL TO AID OF UNIVERSITY AND
GOVERNMENT FOR WAR WORK

In response to the demand of the war
department of the United States govern
ment for adequate provisions to accom-
modate larger unit of the students
army training corps at the University of
Idaho, the university authorities and the
council of defense are planning for the
enlargement of the plant in order to
care for much larger number of SOL
diers than could possibly be trained here
under present conditions In making
provisions for the more extensive work,
the expenditure of many thousands of
dollars will be necessary Immediately.
The war department has approved the
plan whereby 800 fighting mechanics
may be trained by the university, instead
of 100, as heretofore, providing that bar
racks and shop facilities will be guar
anteed by the 18th of October. 1t has
been suggested that the plant of the
Idaho National Harvester company be
placed at the service of the university for
this purpose.
In addition to the large number of
fighting mechanics, President Lindley
informs The Star Mirror that the uni
versity, in order to give the government
every aid within its power hopes to be
able to provide for 900 S. A. T. c. men
of college grade. This, in addition to-
other students: including women, will in
all probability give the university an at
tendance of upward of 1900.
Governor Alexander Wires Support.
Governor Moses Alexander, who is
now at Camp Lewis, wired to President
Lindley, in response of a, request from

ceived indirectly by Mrs. A. E. Keane
Of this city that her son, James ].
Keane, who is in the field artillery with
the American expeditionary forces in
France, had been killed in battle. The
word did not come through any govern
ment source, but through a letter from
friend of the young man, who is also
in France. All efforts OH the part Of
Mrs. Keane, and of other relatives here,
to get some definite information, proved
futile, until Monday of this week when
a letter was received from the young
man himself, bringing the news, to the
distressed mother that he was safe. in
the base hospital in France, injured, but
not seriously.
Young Keane was injured in rail
road accident early in July. A troop
train on which he was travelling on his
way to the front was standing on the
track and was run into by fast train.
Keane thought he had arranged for his
mother to be notified of his injury and
of his whereabouts, but for some reason
the information never reached her, but
letter from her sons friend telling
that ne was dead did reach her. The
Moscow boy, when he wrote, expected
