house, we talked 1t over between us.
Eyes O'Blue and Touslehead were told
that, while the world Is good, It Is not

who in the furtherance Of that ambl.

PRODUCING MORE
LIVESTOCK IN
THE WEST

Although many farmers of both
Utah and Idaho have entered into
the pork production business during
the past few months, with conse-
Quent increase in the numbed OF
hogs held ON the farms and ranch
es Of both Utah and Idaho. neither
state has added enough to supply
the local demand, according to the
Ogden Union Stock Yards. to which
thousands OF head are being shipped
each month. Assurance that tha
price Of hogs will not be reduced dur.
ing the war period has been given
and in recent months the Ogden
quotations have ranged from SIS to
$40 per hundred pounds. in COM
parison with the old prices that
were as low as IS.
I Pork Is absolutely essential-it Is
needed for the soldiers OF America,
OF Great Britain, OF France and OF
Belgium in order that they may
fight. even more than Il is needed
for the civilians. Without fat the
fighters could not carry through their
strenuous efforts on the fields or
France.

PHYSICALLY FIT TO
LOSE SAFETY JOBS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-All men
indicted into the army who are physi-
cally fit for general military service
are to be sent to France. The secre-
tary Of war has notified all branches
of the army that this new policy will
be enforced. If policy is carried out
without fear or favor it will send
across the water a large number of
young men who had influence enough
to get into what they thought were
safety branches of the army. The new
policy does not mean that physically
fit man of draft age in a noncombat-
ant branch of the service will be trans
ferred to a combatant branch because
under the law this cannot be done,
but it does mean, the general staff ex-
plains, that all men so qualified will
be ordered to France and attached to
what is known as the service of sup
port" branch.
Most persans have foreseen for a
long time that it was inevitable that
sooner or later the physically fit young
men of draft age who had found COM
Portable berths here at home would be
dislodged and sent across. The new
demand for men, which began to man
ifest itself several weeks ago, caused
the war department to make inquiry
as to the possible number of men of
draft age who were not disqualified
for general military service and yet
were so placed temporarily as tc make
it impossible to send them abroad.

WORK OF PLACING
LABOR IS STARTED

More than thirty manufacturers
were present at the meeting Satur-
day morning to decide upon their re-
preventative for the Community La
Dor Board. No decision was reached,
but committee OF five was appoint
ed to make the nomination and report
early next week. The members of the
committee are S.. E. Swayne, chair
man; VIM. Bockhoff, Willard z. Carr,
Frank Watt. and Harry Gennett.
This Community Labor Board will
be made up of three members, one
chosen by the manufacturers, one by
the employees and the third, accord
ing to the governmental ruling filled
by Lawrence Handley, examiner-in-
charge of the U. S. employment ser
vice.
The board is to be concerned with
placing labor in the most needed
places; to prevent the pirating of la
Dor, and at the same time to see that
the district supplies it's quota for war
industries, according to the director
of the Public Service Reserve.
The board will in no wise be a board
of appeals to settle labor problems or
prevent strikes, as a special provision
is made for this by another division
of the Washington authorities.
The work of placing labor already
has been started, and anyone interest
cd either. in securing work or work
men for war industries may phone
1477. Provision also will be made for
women.

PRESIDENT MAY
TOUR u. S. FOR
LIBERTY LOAN
Plans Trip to Pacific Coast
During Three Weeks Of
Fourth Loan Drive.

WASHINGTON, Aug.3.-It Is be-
lieved that President Wilson is contem-
plating nationwide tour of the coun-
try during the fourth Liberty Loan
campaign, which is scheduled to be-
gin September 2S. The president to-
day wrote letter to Representative
Charles H. Randall Of California, in
dicating that he would like to visit
California during the next few months.
Mr.. Randall has written to the Pres
ident asking him to visit California i'll
October. and while the invitation was
not accepted, neither was it refused.
Ever since l came to Washington,
have not only wished to visit the
Pacific coast" said the president, in
his letter to Mr.. Randall, but have
repeatedly tried to work out plan
to do so, but always something has
interviewed which made it my impera-
tive duty to remain in Washington.
You may be sure, however, that l shall
not give up the hope, or stop trying
to make the plan
In making this part Of the presi-
dents letter public, Mr.. Randall stated
he had assurances that program for
the presidents tour of the west is
already in process of formation, and
that the date suggested by him, Octo-
Der, will be adopted.
Mr. Randall stated also that the tour
will be completed probably with the
final date of the Liberty Loan cam
paign, which has been fixed for Octo-
Der 10.
1t became known today that Post
masterGeneral Burleson has been in
strumental in having various members
of congress write to the president, ex-
tending to him an invitation to visit
their state during October. Mr.. Ran
dali is thus far the only one who has
received a reply, so far as has been
ascertained.
The fact that Mr.. Burleson is en-
cheering the scheme caused an i'm
mediate interest on the part of Re-
publicans in congress. They see in It
carefully devised piece of political
strategy, to be staged as part of t:sA
Democratic campaign for retaining the
control of the House and Senate. 1t
has been whispered for a long time
about the corridors of the office build
ings of the members that the date
of the Liberty Loan campaign has been
fixed for October, with an eye to po-
litical advantage.

Terrorism Only Weapon Left Russia After
Betrayal BY Germany, Says Russ Diplomat

Concerning the probable effect of
the reported nomination of General
Won Falkenhausen, to succeed Won
E:chhorn at Kiev would have on the
future policy of the Germans in Russia
affecting their intercourse with the
Bolshevik government, the ambassa-
dor said it was difficult to judge from
this distance because of the meager
news which was permitted to come out
out of Russia and especially when the
news was given German tinge before
transmission. But he thought from
his knowledge of the personality of
Helfferich that he would rule with an
iron hand. The record of General
Won Falkenhausen in Belgium, he ad-
ded. speaks for itself.
M. Maklakoff. half jokingly and half
seriously, concluded: Their jobs GER
tainly are no sinecures. They are vel

PARIS. Friday, Aug. 1t is Rus
sia's way of demonstrating that no
reconciliation is possible with Germany.
NJ Maklakoff. the Russian amhassa-
dor to France, said today In discus

significance of the recent assassina-
tions of Ambassador Won Mirbach and
Field Marshal Won Eichhorn.
Murder and acts of terrorism, he
added, ARE the only weapons left to
hands of the Germans by the Bolshe-

smashed by anarchy and the Russians
wish to show the world and the allies
that they are prepared to use what
weapons they still possess. These
acts of terrorism are not the result
of misguided courage on the part of
individuals, but an expression of the
general dissatisfaction of all the peo-
pie or at least great majority of the
population.

making a sacrifice of their own lives
if they they were not aware that the
population was solidly behind them.
1t was Bismarck who said that the
strength of revolutions did not lie in
the advanced idea of their leaders, but
in the number of moderate and rea-
sonable exigencies which were left
unsatisfled. There are many reason
able and modern exigencies in Russia
which have been left unsatisfied by
the Germans, and in them lies the
strength of the Russian revolution and
the hope of it's salvation from the
grip of the Germans and from the
throes of anarchy.
Reconciliation Impossible.
Were these acts of terrorism iso-
lated deeds Of vengeance by individ-
uals they would not mean anything,
but they are symptoms of general dis
content and evidence that Russians
will not become reconciled with the
system forced upon them by the Ger
mans by strength of arms"

Aged Man Disappears
from Home; Tells Family
He Is Going to War

Gilbert Wright, 81 years old. resi-
dent of Williamsburg, disappeared
from his home Monday, saying he was
going to war and had not been seen
since. His family has noticed that in
the last few weeks he has not been
normal mentally. This was thought to
be due to grief over the death of his
son a few weeks ago and worry over
the war.
1t is known that he got on the train
at Fountain City and went as far as
Fort Wayne. A son left for Fort
Wayne Saturday in an effort to flnd
him.
