THE END ALMOST IN SIGHT.


The end of the great world war is
almost in sight Developments are COM
ing SO quickly that it is difficult to keep
track of the situation. Bulgaria has
surrendered and fighting with that coun-
try ceased at noon. She is the first of
the kaiser's allies to acknowledge de-
feat. Turkey is expected to surrender
within "a hours and Austria has called
for peace conference.
Kaiser Bill who set out to conquer
the world, is about to be left alone to
accept defeat. The countries that were
drawn into the war by German intrigue
and are less guilty than Germany, are
getting out of the way while the getting
is good and leaving the kaiser to settle
with the allies.
This is good news. We want to settle
with Bill last of all The defeat of the
other countries makes Germany's utter
defeat within a short time certain and
the terms will be hard when Germany
surrenders. The other rulers seeing the
certainty of defeat, are trying to save
what little they can from the wreck, but
there will be no soft terms when Ger
many quits.
It is believed that but few of the
130OOOOO men who registered recently
will ever cross the ocean, but we must go
on preparing as if the war were to last
for wears. We must be prepared to deal
Germany such hard blow that she will
never recover. The more men we have
ready. the greater number of guns and
the greater amount of ammunition we
have. the sooner that blow can be dealt
and the war ended.
1t cannot last another year. 1t may
not last until the end of this year, but it
will not end until Germany is crushed
and so disabled that she will never again
be able to start a war. The outlook to-
day is more encouraging than IT has been
since the war began.

The resignation of Mr.. B. L. Williams,
as secretary to President Lindley of the
University of Idaho, will cause much re-
greet, but his decision to enter the stu

and of great assistance to students and
others having business with the univer-

''As matter OF fact. there Is nc
material that can be put into bat

II was awful TO see the men when

the boys from the Georgic. not much

belonged to the Germans. We would

the Germans made US carry them
across the road. They weighed about
100 pounds apiece. nnd we were so
weak that II was all two men could do

them; they would not let us roll them.
We were so cold and hungry that even
that exercise did not warm us.
About 2:30 the whistle blew again,
and tho Huns picked out few men
and took them down the road. We
could not figure out why. but they
came back about three o'clock, all of
them with bread In their arms. They
were chewing away on II when they
had chance. Whenever the sentries
were not looking they would bite at II

When they got In the barracks the
sentrles made them put the bread
down ON the floor. and then. with
their bayonets, the sentrles cut each

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Public officials, veterinarians and
stock owners should be on guard to re-
port Immediately any cases of foot
and-mouth disease that may appear in
this country, according to statement
by DR.. J. Il. Mohler chief of the bureau
of animal industry, United States de-
partment of agriculture. Doctor Moh-
Ter said:
Recent cable news announces an
outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in
England which brings to mind the Sc
rious outbreaks of that disease which
have been experienced in the United
States.
''Foot-and-mouth disease has appear
ed in England from time to time, as
it has done in the Ua.ted States. In
both countries the past outbreaks have
been promptly controlled and eradicat-
ed and no cases have occurred in the
United States since 1916. Neverthe-
less the disease makes its appearance
ut irregular intervals. In this country
we may expect it's return at any time,
although every precaution is being tax
en- by the federal authorities to prevent
the Introduction of the disease, espe-
cially from the present outbreak in
England. So long as communication
