a drop in the Irish birth rate Of 3.8 be-
low the average for the previous ten

Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure In such q map for Ameri-

cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of

to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
BILE centers.
England, France. the Netherlands

A food map of Europe today shows
not single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat Of serious
difficulties and only small part which
Is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception Of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even In the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
In the large centers Of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear ON the hunger
map distinct from the rest AZ Europe
because they stand In different rela-
ti0n from the other nations to the pec-
pie Of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
of Serbia, must be included In this
plan, are urgent in the extreme and
must have immediate relief

for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the

work there. The moment the German

GOVERNMENT SENDS
WOOL PURCHASE NOTICE.

The following telegram has been
sent out by the U. S. department of
agriculture, addressed to county agents
and farm bureaus:
cam advised that government will
not purchase any wool shorn during
year 1918 unless it has been loaded on
cars and billed through to an approved
dealer in an approved distributing Gen.
ter on or prior to Dec. 81, 1918, and
then only in case such approved dealer
filed statement and copy of the in
voice thereof within five days after re-
ceipt Of invoice. Suggest you urge all
wool growers who have not delivered
their wool to the government to do so. !"
The above notice was dated Dec. II.
1t will be. seen that it was too late for
many wool growers to take advantage
of the price established by the wool
division of the food administration.

gi0ns, with conditions most serious In
Finland.
Bohemia. Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached. the
famine point and are suffering heavy
toll Of death. The Armenian popula-
tion is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll. and In Greece, Albania
and Roumania 90 serious are the food
shortages that famine is, near. Al
though starvation Is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are in the throes of serious strin-
gencies.
In order to fulfil Americas pledge
In world relief we will have to export
every ton Of food which can be han
died through our ports. This means at
the very least minimum Of 20,O0O, 900
tons compared with 8,OOO,OOO tons pre-
war exports and 11,82O,OOO tons ex-
ported last year. when we were bound
by the ties Of war to the European
allies.
II we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or IL we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bied
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine Should this
happen we will see in other parts of
Europe repetition of the Russian de-
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been in vain.

LEWIS AND CLARK HIGHWAY
ASSOCIATION FORMED.

A very important matter to the peo-
pie of the entire Clearwater country
was the organization of the Lewis and
Clark Highway Association at Lewiston
last Monday. The meeting was attend
ed by the highway commissioners of
the Orofino, Clearwater, and North
Fork highway districts Of this connty,
and the unanimous opinion is that now
is the time to start united movement
for starting this important highway
work, together with the aid of the fed
eral and state governments.
The chairman named a committee
on organization consisting of Messrs.
Frank Thompson, John R. Becker, M.
Granquist, F. E. Quist and A. H. West.
Those nominated on the executive
committee for this county were:
Clearwater county at large-Dr. j.
w. Givens.
Clearwater highway district-Samson
Snyder.
Orofino highway district-Julian
D0bsOn.
North Fork highway district-W.
Bertrand.
A memorial from the association was
addressed to the state highway COM
mission setting forth the fact that the
Clearwater river and its tributaries as
'traversed by the early explorations of
Lewis aud Clark affords the natural
water grade route across north Idaho.
Attention is called to the fact that the
establishment Of this highway would
encourage communities to open up
large areas of undeveloped agricultural
territory in addition to upward of 25,-
OOO, ,OOO, 600 feet of lumber.

Chateau Thierra.' .
"When the American army Of occu-
patton started its march toward the
Rhine on November II, one Of our
! crack divisions, the Thirty-Second, was
celebrating an anniversary just six
months before this division first planted
the American flag on German soil in
Alsace. On May 10, Wisconsin and
Michigan men came under enemy shell
fire and from that date to November II
the division has outranged Boche guns.
Only ten days after its turn in the
trenches the Thirty-Second chased the
Boche from the Ourcq to the vesIe.
Then it went to sector north Of Sois-
sons and stormed Juvigny Plateau.
fighting side by side with the heroic
"poilus" Of General Mangin. After
that victory with the French it had
rest for ten days before getting ready
for the final drive. The American
army's scrap north Of Verdun was but
three days old when the Thirty-Second
went in, and for the next three weeks
the Wisconsin and Michigan boys hat
tied the Boche for Kreimhilde Stellung.
II was they who finally broke through
the key position Of La Dame Marie.
from which they then pushed on to
Freya Stellung, pushing the Boche
gunners out Of Bantheville wood. They
carried the line up to the point where
the final attack, on Nov. l, was launch
ed, and Followed in support OF the di-
visions which crossed the Meuse at
Dun and captured Stenay. In the last
few days Of the war the Thirty-Second
went into line in the Meuse bridgehead
sector, and with the French were in
the midst Of an attack when the armis-
tice stopped fighting, During the war
the division has fought on five fronts,
Alsace, the Vesle, scissors, Argonne
and the Meuse, and has fought twenty
of Germany's best divisions, among
them the Prussian Guards. It has new
er yielded yard Of ground to the en-
emy's counter-attacks.
