GERMANS FORWARDING HEAVY
 ON WESTERN FRONT
By Associated Press.

DATELESS Associated Press sum marD from the British and French war offices today indicate an extensive increase in the German tillery activities at several points along the Western war front.
 The Germans are reported carrying on heavy bombar rdments on vari 'Is sectors on the Flanders Champagne, Arras and Cambrai fronts. The ar tillery is also reported active along the front occupied by tho American forces.
 The sudden renewal of the German bombardments is causing considerable speculation as indicating a possible commencement of the long heralded
The Nome daily nugget., 1918-02-07

German western offensive which the Germans hope will break down the sl- lied resistencc and open the road to Paris and the conquest of France.
 The German attacks are all being made at the most important strategeti. cal points on the western battle line and along some of tho hardest fought over sectors.
 So far the Germans have shown no disposition to undertake infantry &C., tivities aside from the usual raidipg and bombing operations.

COMPANY C WANTS
GUNS FOR DRILLS
WASHINGTON is ASKED TO PRO-
VIDE ARMS FOR IDAHO Ma
TIONAL GUARDSMEN

Captain Mix of Company G, Idaho
National Guards, is experiencing some
difficulty in drilling his men proper
ly without rifles. The matter OF arm
ing the guards is a matter that is oc-
cupying state officials The matter
of supplying arms is now before the
war department at Washington.
If it is impossible to obtain arms for
the guards from the federal govern
ment it is understood that Governor
Alexander will call special session
of the legislature and the state will
provide them
This will require a'considerable loss
of time. We would suggest that all
persons having rifles or other guns
that can be used for drill purposes,
loan them to the company until regular
army rifles can be obtained from eth
er the state or the federal government.
Any one having such arms should get
into communication with Captain Mix
as soon as possible. 1t will be of great
benefit to the company to have guns
when the drills are being taught.

RED CROSS ROOMS IN FED
ERAL BUILDING

The convention of the Red Cross OF
Latah county is in session on the Sec
ond floor of the federal building this
afternoon, with more than 60 delegates
from out of town in attendance. The
guests began to arrive this morning

three-course luncheon, especially pre-
pared for them.
After the luncheon the visitors &C
companied the local members to the
federal court room where an after
noon session is being held. There is
a good attendance of Moscow members
in addition to the visitors. Many mat
ters of vital interest to the members
were discussed The work of supply
ing a naval base hospital unit having
been completed it is planned to take
up the work of making refugee gar
ments'' for the refugees from the coun-
tries that have been devastated by the
war Samples of these were shown
and the making of them was discussed.
Reports from the various auxiliaries
were made to Moscow chapter, which is
"the parent" local Of the county.
J. w. Jones, who recently visited
Spokane and received much first-hand
of interest to the Red
Cross workers, told of his trip and
what he had learned before the reg
ular program began. The visitors will
have dinner this evening and there
will be a business session tonight.
Most of the visitors will be entertained
at the homes of Moscow members.
A complete and detailed report OF
the entire convention will be published
in The Star-Mirror tomorrow after
noon.

SHIPS MANY
CH0|CELAMbS
PRIZE CARLOAD OF LAMBS FED
AT EXPERIMENT STATION
GO TO SPOKANE
GETS is CENTS A pound
BUYER FOR ARMOUR & co. PAYS
FANCY PRICE AND PRAISES
THE SHEEP

What is believed to be the record
price for carload of lands was paid
to the university today for PIT choice
lambs fed at the fair grounds for ex-
perimental purposes by the animal
husbandry department. The price paid
was 16 cents, live weight land the
lambs brought $12.85 per head. The
lambs were bought by Fred Stanton,
sheep buyer for Armour & Co., Spo-
kane, and were shipped over the Nor
thern Pacific to Spokane today.
The sheep were selected from a
large band held by Ross Howard here
last fall and were divided into three
lots to test the relative value of silage
and other feed for fattening purposes.
Lot No. 1 was fed on barley and
alfalfa; lot No. was fed on barley,
corn silage and alfalfa, and lot No. 3
was fed on barley, alfalfa and oats
and pea silage.
The work of feeding was under the
supervision of c. W. Hickman, as
sistant professor of animal husbandry,
and the feeding was done by Alvin Nc
Cormack, a senior, who halls from
Lewiston, and Ambrose Johnson, jun
ior in the department of animal hus-
bandry, who comes from Idaho Falls.
Mr. Mccormack plans to use the re-
suits of this feeding experiment for
the basis of his thesis at commence
ment.
The lambs were fed on alfalfa for
two weeks and weighed into the feed
ing lots at between 60 and 61 pounds,
each, there being less than one-third
of a pound difference in the average
weight of the three lots. After being
fed 81 days they were sold and the
lots averaged from 1873 to S5.3 pounds
each. Those fed on corn silage, alfalfa
and barley had made the greatest gain
and the increased weight cost about
7-10 of one cent per pound less than
the gain for the other two lots, the
cost of which were about equal, those
fed on barley, alfalfa and pea and oat
silage making practically the same
gain at the same expense las the those
fed on barley and alfalfa, without the
silage.
There were 254 sheep in the original
lot but 81 of them were killed by dogs
IN December 26, which left PIT to be
sold today.
Fred Stanton, sheep buyer for Arm
)ur & Co., who received the sheep,
pronounced them an extra choice lot
md so even that he found but one re-
ection in the entire double decked |
,arload of 217 head.

ACADEMY GIRLS
HELP RED CROSS
PLAY GIVEN LAST NIGHT WAS
WE'LL RENDERED AND HIGHLY
APPRECIATED

The young ladies of tie Ursuline
convent high school, not satisfied with
their regular Junior Red Gross work,
last night put on play for the ben
eft of the local Red Cross military re-
lief fund The play was we'll attended,
and much enjoyed, if one might judge
by the laughter, applause and favor
able comment.
The play was entitled, ''The Truth
Society,"" and it detailed the woes of
a hapless young couple who resolved
to tell the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth for "a hours.
Margaret Yangel took the part of
the hero of the play and by carefully
telling the truth lost a fortune, a
sweetheart, most of his friends and
was arrested as insane. Mary Ford,
the other victim, told the truth and
lost a home, a position and she too
was suspected of being crazy. For
tunately the "a hours came to an end
just before the doctor had condemned
the two as lunatics and all ended well.
Bessie Strohm as the sweetheart,
Myra Armbruster as the romantic
poetess, Florence ArmbruSter as the
sensible girl, Virgil Martin as Miss
Crabb, Mary Angatell as the infirm
aunt and Winifred Mosier as the uncle.
All did good work in the jolly little
farce.
The play showed work, energy and
marked the desire to aid in one great
cause, and if the audience went home
without making resolution to tell
the truth at all times, they at least
felt they had enjoyed good laugh,
and been we'll entertained.

The authorities at Occur d'Alene and
Wallace were confident the I. w. w.
army could not invade their cities.

of Kootenai county, at Occur d'Alene.
We'll take every step that is neces-
sary, whatever that may be. Coeur
d'Alene will not allow any unlawful
intimidation.

clared Sheriff Robert Pfeihl of Sho-
shone county. They'll get the same
kind of reception they got last year.
We've got some under arrest here now,
and we're looking for some more"
The breaking down of the Idaho syn
dicalism law is seen as the objective
of the /. w. w. in their proposed dem
onstration. A victory in north Idaho
might mean a drive on Montana, which
recently enacted a similar law.

LIEUT.. HOLIDAY
KILLED YESTERDAY
POPULAR FORMER STUDENT OF
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MEETS
DEATH IN TEXAS

Lieutenant Howard w. Holiday, a
member of the university graduating
class of 1916 and brother of H. A.
Holiday, assistant professor of chemis-
try on the university faculty, was
killed instantaneously yesterday after
noon when the aeroplane in which he
was flying at the San Antonio, Texas,
training school became unmanageable
and plunged to the earth. This was the
information conveyed in telegram re-
ceived this morning by Professor Hol-
aday.
Lieutenant Holiday was both prom
inent and popular in his undergrad
.uate days, a lieutenancy in the cadet
battalion and a place on the string
quartet being among the honors which
fell to him. He was a member of the
Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
The young officer was married only
last May to Miss Hester Pettijohn of
Walla Walla, a university graduate
of the class of 1915 and a member of
the Delta Gamma sorority. The couple
were visitors on the university campus
early in June on their way to Denver,
where Lieutenant Holidays parents
reside.
The funeral is to be held in Denver.
A despatch from San Antonio, Texas,
this afternoon, says that Holidays
airpIane fell 1000 feet. What caused
the accident is not stated.

ISOLATION given to a struggling democ-
racy full fifty and fife years ago and
like the pillar of cloud or the pillar
of fire, like the lifting of a Moses
of Lincoln with gravity rolling down
half century of years find sequel
in our nations slogan of today, FREE
DOM OF THE WORLD-no more in
tellectual slaves, no more of mental
serfdom in the races of mankind. If
Lincoln were here that he would car
nv out the program which he had
mapped out ere his untimely depart
ure from this terrestrial ball, is our
belief, but we also feel that in spite
of many and varied difficulties, that
in the world of spirits he is behold
ing the consummation of his freedom
which he died to establish and which
he has left to his successors to pre-
serve. Lloyd-George, the British
prime minister, declares, go on or
go under"-a veritable Lincoln action,
and as our race as particular ele-
ment of this nation can view with
thankfulness the righteousness of &C
ton of the man whom we feel proud
to honor, let us be encouraged AND

Armstrong spirit, DR.. Frissell kept
himself in the shadow of Armstrong;
great name.
HE was wonderful as an executive,
wonderful in winning the loyalty and
enthusiasm of his Hampton associ-
ates; in retaining and charging the
supporters of Hampton, and in making
its excellence and value known to the
white men of the South, who must CO.
operate to make this great work at
Hampton success.
Or. Frissell was Christ-like in his
spirit and methods, and in his way of
winning the great influence he welded
Broad, catholic, sweet and reason
able, far-seeing and firm of convic-
ton, sympathetic but stimulating,
with a vision of increased usefulness
for Hampton, he supplemented Gen
eral Armstrong; work DR.. Frissell
lived and was the Hampton spirit
which General Armstrong breathed in
to this place and it's environment.
Happy an institution and race that
have had two such leaders as Arm
strong and Frissell. Their successor,
the Rev. James Edgar Gregg -
straightforward, effective, earnest, re-
ligious, broad and feeling the joy OF
service and full of the greatness of
the task he assumes-we may be con-

Appeal to Hampton Cadets.
Speaking directly to the Hampton
Institute battalion of cadets, Mr.. Taft
said:
eve are neither Republicans nor
Democrats now; we are Americans in
supporting the President in this
righteous war.
"Our allies have been fighting this
monster of German militarism for
three years. They are nearly ex-
hansted, and we are praying that they
may hold out until we can get there
with our forces so as to predominant
in man power and win this world war
for righteousness.
Therefore it is that you, my boys,
have before you an opportunity to
show the value of these CAPABILITIES of
opportunity.
) : Chow that you are not only citi-
zens of the United States, but citizens
of the world.
do not allow yourselves to be mis-
led by the thought that peace is near.
God bless you, boys, and go on with
the Hampton spirit for that is the
spirit that will carry you on to the vic
tory we must have, if the human race
is to live in Christian civilization"
