ALL IDAHO MUST
HELP TO WIN WAR
STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE Is
SUES BULLETIN CALLING
UPON ALL TO WORK

BOISE.-To effectively carry on the
war work of Idaho it should, insofar as
possible, be distributed among the many
instead of being shouldered by the few,
SAYS the state council of defense in a
bulletin. County councils should en-
deavor to make their entire community
feel, and justly SO, that every one who
resides therein has duty to perform IN
keeping war work up to the highest pos
sible standard of efficiency. Where men
and women war workers are members of
the same organization, each one should
feel "a like responsibility in bringing
about success in whatever line OF war
activity is attempted.
The present war is not one-man
war, nor are the few going to be re-
sponsible for the victory for civilization
the United States and her allies are go
ing to win. It has from its inception
been a war of the many, taking the
struggl cas- whole Every man con-.
tributing toward it in the past four years

the individual, must do his or her part

War work should be spread over as
great territory as possible and among
as MANY workers as can be reached The
executive heads need not be many, but

when rectified they have only served to
make the machinery stronger. A sug-
gestion, rather than a criticism, could
be offered. That is, the few who have

Of the burden should, by proper organi-
cation, more equally distribute the re-
sponsibility among the many, and when
that has been done every war worker

MAY HAVE FAT SHEEP
SHOW AFTER ALL
DEAN IDDINGS PLANNING To
SECURE HERD TO REPLACE
THOSE BURNED

Dean E. ]. Iddings, head of the aeri-
cultural college and animal husbandrv
departments of the University of Idaho.
| returned today from an extended tour
of the state. He spoke at farmers
picnic at Caldwell, and visited the ex-
pertinent stations and extension workers
at Twin Falls, Rupert, Jerome Boise
| and other parts of southern Idaho, re-
turning through the northern part of
the state. He said:
THE crop outlook in the south is
fine. Everything is prosperous and in
the irrigated districts one of the best
crops ever grown is being harvested. In
southeastern Idaho the crop is very good.
Returning | came through northern
Idaho and found that rains since | came
through there last has done a great
amount of good to the pasture, although
too late for the early grain The north
ern part of the panhandle looks more
like spring than August, the grass hav-
ing startedS@up" and is nice and green
again"
Asked concerning the loss of the fat
sheep by the fire which destroyed the
barn in which the prize sheep were being
fed for the fat stock shows of the north
west next fall, Dean Iddings said: "The
loss is discouraging, but not irreparable.
We lost the entire herd of 81 animals,
which included the yearlings and the
lambs That destroyed our show herd
for next ydDg as well as this, for the
lambs would have been our yearlings
next year and it is the yearlings that
win most of the fat sheep prizes l
have not given up hopes yet of having
a prize winning flock of fat sheep and
may have an announcement to make in
a few days."
Dean Iddings thinks the fire was set
by some one sleeping in the barn where
a load of alfalfa hay had been placed the
day before. Examination discloses that
the lock on another building nearby had
been battered as if an attempt had been
made to break it.
The4Ione sheep saved from the fire
died last night, making the loss of the
fat sheep,a total loss. The entire II
head are dead. Dean Iddnigs thinks
$500 would be a conservative estimate
of the loss on the sheep. The building
was insured, but he does not know how
much insurance was carried as the
papers are at Boise

the Somme to Arras.
The capture of Ribecourt by the
French marks an important epoch IN
the offensive which has for its imme-
date purpose the freeing of the re-
gion between the Somme and the
Disc. AS gain from the strategic
standpoint it ranks with the taking
by the French of the forest and hill
positions between the Matz and the
Disc, which has brought the French
almost to the gates of Lassigny.
Through Ribecourt lies an open route
up the Disc valley to Noyon-a route
by rail and the big national thorough
fare, not to mention the canal which
parallels the roadways for the greater
part of the way Noyon is only a
little more than six miles northeast
of Ribecourt.

 "On the eKmmel and Lys battle fields and on both sides of the Som me and Avre the artillery duels in creased in intensity yesterday morn ing. Between VoermeZeele and LOcre we penetrated the French lines and brought hack more than 300 prisoners.
 "The attack of the German crown prince 10 the south of Lacn led to com plete success. We completely defeated the French and English divisions sta toned there.
 "Tha army of General Boehm took the ChemiE Des Danes by storm. The long ridge, against whicn the great attempt of the French to break through collapsed in the spring of 1917 anl which we evacuated in the autumn of last year for strategic pur- poses, IS again in our hands.
 Claim Surprise Attack
 After tremendous artillery prepara- tion our infantry at daybreak found their way across the Ailette river be- tween VauxillOn and Craonne and penetrated the English lines further east between Corbey and the Aisne. Completely taken by surprise the oc- cupants of the first enemy lines gen orally offered only slight resistance.

LONDON. May ZS.-Ihe reports from the battle fields of France tO night, both official and unofficial, show ,hat the allies have again suffered a setback. whereby they have lost all thc ground in the ChemIl Des Lanes region so gallantiy won by the French in the great struggle from April 10 October, 1917.
 The enemy has driven a wedge int0 the allied line on a front Of some 9 miles, and at last reports the tre- mendOus battle was still continuing about Fishes. which is the center Oi important allied communications. The French reserves, however, were arriv- ing to contest a further enemy ad- vance at this point.
 Up to the present, according to the German claim. 15,000 prisoners have been taken. It still is uncertain wheth- CT the Germans intended this attack as a resumption of their full scale offensive. The fact that only from 20 to 25 divisions have been engaged is held to indicate that it was, not a main attack. but was originally in- tended to attract allied forces from before Amiens and that the major op- eratiOn would be attempted elsewhere.

PHOENIN. Ariz., May 2S.--A re- newal of the fight in the legisla- ture over the I. W. w. suddenly rose in the senate and ragged throughout the morning session. It came up over a re-introduction by Campbell of COcOnino of his resolution denouncing the l. W. w. and pro-Germans.
 The friends of the governor have ,regarded all such resolu- tions as attacks upon that part of his message relating to the Bisbee deportation cases. After a heated debate the resolution was passed through three readings under suspensions of the rules, by a vote Of F to s and was finally adopted without division.
 There was a contest in the house over the bill to cOmpen- sate former Governor Campbell. for his services and to restore to him the costs Of Governor Hunt in the late contest.
