J ADVANCE HALTED.
Thus the enemy was brought to /
standstill for the time being and Sat-
urday morning did not bring with II
the resumption of his infantry attacks.
He was assumed to be preparing for
renewal of the assault, however, while
the Anglo French forces were estab-
fishing themselves more firmly for the
defense of the hill positions lying back
OF Mount KENNEL, at which It & said

The next day or two probably
will decide whether the allied COM
mand will attempt to cling to Ypress
and the salient which encircles it In
the face oft he threat to the imnc-
diate rear Of the Yprcs positions. Al
British withdrawal from the salient
has been predicted by many Of the
military observers, although the
British war Office has declared such
a move was not necessarily forced
BY the loss of Mount KENNEL.
The military situation in Flanders
as q whole does not seem to be
particularly happy one from the
allied viewpoint. The scheme of the
entente high command, however, it Is
pointed out, does not appear to be
particularly regardful of the map ex-
cept where vital positions are threa-
tened and confidence is expressed in
the ability of the allies under their
unified leadership to keep the situa-
tion well within their grasp on the
northern, as well as the southern
battle front.
Allies Score Gains in South.
In the south, indeed, below the
Somme, new evidence has been given
OF the strength of the allied positions

British have made through Villers-

divisions have been badly smashed
in the fighting against the British

WILL RESIST AGGRESSION.
Amsterdam, April 2.-According
to The Hague Vaderland the prospect
of an agreement between Holland and
Germany has slightly improved since
Yesterday. While it has been agreed
to reopen the Limburg railway, there
is still a difference regarding the
nature and extent Of the transport
over the railroad and by waterway.
The Telegraf, under the heading,
sIf it must be-" recalls the German
attack on Belgium and says:
"1f Holland now is to be placed at
the same cross roads as Belgium,
then the government may be certain
that the nation will rally around it in
the hour of danger. Every one will
ardcntly hope that this cup may be
spared us and is it not almost un-
tfinkable that the crime which has
been branded Gains mark on the
forehead of the violator' should be,

dishonor more than war. Holland

Neutrality Menaced.
Washington, April H.-Negotia
tions between the State department
and the war trade board with the
Netherlands government regarding
the monetary consideration and the
amount of grain and raw materials to
be allowed to 60 forth to Holland in
return for the use of Dutch shipping
seized in American ports have reached
a point where mutually satisfactory
agreement has been brought in sight.
The main concern of the officials
here now is the outcome of the
between Germany and
Holland growing out of the new Ger
man demands which include the right
to transport across Dutch territory
sand and gravel, part of which would
be used for military purposes. The
granting of Germany's demand in this
regard might be construed as viola
tion of Hollands neutrality.
Swiss Press Protest.
Germany's attitude toward the
small European neutral nations, par
ticularly Holland and Switzerland,
has caused sharp protests from the
Swiss press, an official dispatch today
from France said. !. The increased
pressure which Germany threatens to
exert on Switzerland, according to the
dispatch, has created a particularly
painful impression at this time be-

man, director of publicity, has written
the following letter to this paper:
"My Dear Sir: The united war
work campaign in Idaho has been
splendid success. The state once
more has done it's duty and proved
it's love and loyalty to America and
Americas defenders on the battle
field No greater task has been put
upon the people responsible for rails

."This has been the only fund-rais-
ing campaign put over during the war
that depended entirely upon the pub
licity department to get the message
to the people We have had no meet

speakers, we have had to depend

IDAHO IS WITHOUT
A NATIONAL GUARD
CANNOT HAVE LEGAL REGI-
MENT UNTIL LEGISLATURE
MEETS IN JANUARY

BOISE.-Idaho is without a regiment
at the present time and can have none
of recognized standing until the legisla-
ture passes law accepting the terms of
done there will be formed in this state
the Third Idaho, to take the place of
the Second Idaho regiment, which was
~5worn into the federal service, segre-
gated and its companies divided among
engineers, machine gun and infantry
units
When the Idaho boys in the old Sec
ond Idaho come marching home from
the western front they will have termi-
mated their length of service in both the
federalized army and the Idaho national
guard, and to create a Third Idaho regi-
ment it will become necessary to build UP
an entirely new organization, including
officers and enlisted men.
Failed to Pass Act.
This information is confirmed by Ad-
jutant General C. S. Moody, the author
of the militia bill presented to the last
legislature when he was majority leader,
and defeated The legislature failed to
pass the act and thereafter failed to en-
act militia law and adjourned without
accepting the terms of the national de-
fenSe act.
Thereafter when internal trouble arose
i'll the state, especially the l. w. W. in
the north, Idaho found itself without
military protection because the judge ad-
vocate rules that the legislature having
failed to accept ON behalf of the state
the terms of the defense act, the govern
ment was powerless to do anything in
supplying equipment, ETC..
Governor-elect D. w. Davis will have
as one of his important appointments an
adjutant general to succeed Adjutant
General c. S. Moody, appointed by the
present governor. 1t will be under the
supervision of this official that the new
regiment in this state will be organized,
providing that the legislature moves to
take advantage of the terms of the de-
tense act.
Two Held Eligible.
By doing this the legislature will open
the way for federal equipment and sup
port from the government amounting to
thousands of dollars which the state of
Idaho cannot supply.
There are said to be only two repub-
licans in the state at the present time
qualified to be appointed adjutant gen
eral The law requires that the adjutant
general named must have served one
year as adjutant general and been a
commissioned officer for three years.
The two men are Major J. B. Burns,
present assistant adjutant general, and
A. M. Rowe of Boise A number oI
other men now in France are qualified,
but they are not in Idaho and it is diff
cult to determine when they will be.

TRUST COMPANIES
HAVE GOOD GROWTH
INCREASE OF WEALTH OF IDA
HO TRUST COMPANIES FOR
PAST YEAR SHOWN

The 1918 edition of 'Trust Com
panies of the United States" which
is the 10th annual publication of trust
company statistics issued by the Unit
ed States Mortgage & Trust company,
New York, is now being distributed
John w. Platten, president of the
company, says inthe preface to the
volume:
"In presenting the 1918 edition of
''Trust Companies of the United
States" attention is directed to the
gratifying statistics of the growth
and influence of these institutions for
the fiscal year just closed, during
which trust company resources reach
ed total of $9,380, ,886,051, or $422,-
374,214 more than year ago.
"It is a satisfaction to record a
large accession to the membership of
the federal reserve system from the
ranks of the trust companies, it be-
ing worthy of note that of the total
resources above shown over SO per
cent are held by companies now in
cluded in the system.
"Conditions directly resulting from
the great struggle in which we are
now engaged have stimulated fiducl-
ary business to an unprecedented eX-
tent in all parts of the country and
the pre-eminent fitness of these in
stitutions for the handling of this
class of business has been still fur
ther demonstrated.
'.Trust companies have lost no op-
portunity to render loyal and whole
hearted service toward the winning
of the war, and the events of the
wear have shown more clearly than
@ ever before their great Importance
and usefulness. as an integral part
in the financial structure of the ma
tion."
The 1918 book consisting of about
900 pages, contains in addition to
over 210O statements, lists of officers
and directors, stock quotations, divi-
dend rates, etc.
A recapitulation table shows that
the total resources of the trust com
panies in Itaho amount to $10,789,877,
a gain of $731,103, or 7.2 per cent
during the past year.

MINING IN LATAH
COUNTY TO RESUME
POINT TO IN
CREASED ACTIVITY IN THIS
COUNTY NEXT WINTER

Preparations are being made for
the resumption of mining activity in
the mining districts of the northern
and eastern parts of Latah county
in the near future. Nearly all op-
erations were suspended on account
of the war making it impossible to
secure help, but with the ending of
the war and the release of men who
can be secured for this work it is
planned to not only renew but to in
crease operations in several places.
The great mica mines, where a
mountain of mica, said to be one OF
the largest deposits in the United
States has been idle for months, is
to resume work, it is understood. An
eastern syndicate has secured con-
troll of the great deposit and has been
putting in new and modern machinery
and it is announced that large
force will be kept at work there this
winter. The property is regarded as
highly valuable and will be developed
and regular shipments made.
In the Gold Hill, Hoodoo and other
districts there will be increased ac-
tivity. Many properties in these dis
tricts that are regarded as valuable
have been idle or only assessment
work done on them for the past three
years, but already preparations are
being made for working these prop
critics next winter. Roads are being
cleared and supplies will be taken in
before the snow gets deep enough
to Interfere with travel
There are believed to be valuable
mineral deposits in the mountain
districts and along the rivers in this
county and development work is to
be pushed There is still some placer
being done along the Palouse
river in the Hoodoo district where
many millions of dollars were taken
out more than so years ago and where
fair wages are still being made by a
few settlers who work the placer
grounds which have been worked over
before, but from which occasional
good returns are secured.

when the minds of the people were
distracted by strenuous political
campaign. Added to these, was the
greater distraction Of the announce
ment of the signing of the armistice,
at the moment the drive started.
"Only through the splendid support
of the newspapers of the state has it
been possible to make the united war
work campaign in Idaho a success.

gladly gave their space, amounting
in the aggregate to thousands of col

did all you could that Idaho has sent
