From a White Star liner to the flag
ship of the British Suicide Squadron"
the grey armada which never
mounted a single gun nor fired sin
gle shot, yet patrolled the North sea,
keeping the German navy huddled be-
hind its mine fields, and played an i'm
portant role in the battle of Dogger
Bank-this was my experience in do
ing my bit for the Allies.
NO such colossal war jest has been
played on an enemy since the days of
the Trojan horse. The British Admir-
atty tantalized the German navy with
mysterious maneuvers of a wooden
squadron, some of the vessels made
of barn lumber, and the Germans were
completely baffled for months by the
unexpected number of their enemies.
The wooden ships, without a single
real weapon aboard-British navy men
called them mock turtles"-helped
Britannia rule the waves during the
first year of the war, and the Ger
mans never once suspected that they
were aught but what they seemed
The foe did not catch on to the joke
even when one of their submarines
sank a dummy at the Dardanelles,
where it was serving as a mail ship
for the Allied fleets.
On board, the joke was evident at
once. The fighting turrets were lit
tie wooden barns, with bare rafters
inside. The great guns were logs,
and bored in exact imitation of naval
cannon.
Not single gun aboard. We could

Anticipated merchantmen of about
5000 tons burden, unfit for sea traf-
fic in ordinary times, were the mater
ial out of which the Admiralty con-
structed the squadron. The flagship
however, was a better bottom than
the others.
The ironical part of her history was
that she was a captured German boat

In some embarrassment the commo-
dore ordered it to be removed immed-

progress, every Idahoan is expected by
the State Liberty Loan committee to
do his duty by subscribing for the

enemy
The quota for this state will be ap-
proximately the same amount as it
war for the second loan, or $4,000, 900
The quota for the twelfth district
which includes Idaho, is 100000, 900.
Every county in the state has been or
ganized for the drive, official solicit
ors designated and the campaign so
worked out under the direction of the
state committee that it is expected the
bulk of ldaho's quota will be raised
within a short time. Idahoans are
termine the amount they can subscribe
for and be prepared to meet the So
licitors on the opening day of the
drive.
The proclamation of Governor
Alexander is as follows:
WHEREAS, April 6, 1918, will be
the first anniversary of the entrance
of the United States of America into
fl,A
mocracy from destruction throughout
the world at the hands of a German
military autocracy crazed for power,
and
WHEREAS, the said April has
been designated as the day upon which
patriotic American people are re-
quested by their government to assist
in this great cause by the making of
contributions from their earnings and
savings in the Third Liberty Loan
bonds of the United States govern
ment
NOW, THEREFORE,, 1, M. Alexan-

virtue of the authority vested in me

thorities having the raising of funds
in charge, do hereby designate and set
aside the said sixth day of April, 1918,

Wooden Motor Ships
Urged by Experts
Craft Would be From 5000 to 5000
TOns-Shipping Board Shows Great
Progress for Month.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The
prospect of between 100000 and $780,
900 tons of shipping being added to
the shipping boards original program
doomed large this afternoon, when it
was learned that there is under seri-
Gus consideration the construction Of
$4,000 wooden motor driven ships. The
plan suggested by Pacific coast ship
yards led by official Representatives of
the State of Oregon, will probably be
accepted within a week it was init
mated. This plan contemplates Diesal
driven motor power craft ranging
from 5000 to 5000 tons. All of the
vessels, according to the plan would
be built on the Pacific coast.
Thomas Orchard Lisle, an engineer
and editor of New York and formerly
of Seattle, appeared before the com
MERGE committee of the senate this
week and strongly advocated motor
ships. Lisle declared cargo space and
labor will be saved by these vessels
and also that they give less degree
OF visibility and give more efficiency.
Lisle presented statistics to show that
these ships are being used largely in
foreign countries now. The senate
committee was so impressed that they
asked the shipping board to investi-
gate the plan.
simultaneously with the revelation
that this great addition to the ma
tons shipping capacity is in sight the
shipping board made known the big
steps forward that marked the month
of March. During this month there
have been delivered to the board Is
completed ships, having a tonnage OF
1862 200 dead weight, with two more to
be delivered before Monday night.

transport was the Northern Pacific"

which is about 80 miles on hour. We
went out through the Golden Gate

We made New York yesterday morn

and great foe of liquor, Numbered:
Don't give that jury whisky"
Counsel for the defense refused to
admit the bottle contained whisky.
The bottle was passed to the witness,
who, at the request Of States Attor-
ney Sims, withdrew the cork and
Smelled it.

Then it was passed to the jury, who
began sampling the goods, three hav-

moved the tobacco from their mouths
when the judge halted the proceed
