WANTS CHINA AND
JAPAN IN THE WAR
DEFENSE SOCIETY CALLS UPON
PRESIDENT WILSON TO ASK
ORIENTAL AID

H. G. Quinby, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the American
Defense society, today made public an
open letter to President Wilson, urg-
ing the Importance of the immediate
use of Japan's forces on the eastern
front.
The letter in full follows:
'It is convinced to be a duty of the
American Defense society to present
from time to time to the government
for it's information such public opinion
brought to it's notice as is evidenced
by the views of intelligent and pa
triotic citizens.
"May we, then, transmit to you the
suggestion that immediate action is
demanded because Of Germany's en-
croachments upon Russia and the Far
East. There is a general belief that
the aid of the fighting millions of
Japan and China is necessary for the
winning of the war, if it is to be won
without unnecessary delay and an un-
warranted and appalling loss of Am
erican lives"

SEWER COMMITTEE REPORTS To
CHAMBER0F COMMERCE ON TANK
To the Moscow Chamber of Com

To the Moscow Chamber of Com
merce.
Gentlemen:
Your committee appointed to exam
inc and report on the septic tank sit
uation of the city, beg leave to report
as follows:
The committee met and organized
by choosing M. E. Lewis as chairman;
F. A. David as vice-chairman; and T.
A. Meeker as secretary.
On July this committee, with the
:, mayor, the city engineer and the city
water commissioner, visited the tank,
the filter beds, the outlet of the pack
ing plant, sewer and the new site of
the proposed septic tank, making a
thorough examination of the sewage
| disposal and overflow for the city.
At a subsequent meeting we decided
on the following recommendations to
your body, these recommendations be-
ing made with the unanimous vote of
the committee:
First.-We recommend that the
new septic tank be not put in at this
time on account of the high cost of
material and labor, and the scarcity
of labor and need of it in other more
important work.
Second.-We recommend that the
new sewer line be put in with a slight
change in depth throughout, so it will
take the overflow from the present
septic tank and carry it through the
new sewer to the new site for the
septic tank and there discharge it, in
stead Of discharging it into the chan
net of Paradise creek at the site Of
the old septic tank as at present. This
new sewer line should have a suffi-
cient number of manholes along its
course to thoroughly aerate the sew
age in its passage.
Third.-In case the sewage flowing
through this new sewer is not prop
erly digested by bacteria to destroy
all odor after leaving the outlet, we
recommend that two filter beds be in
stalled as the outlet of the new sewer
to aid in further digesting the sewage
and preventing odor.
Fourth.-In case the filter beds
mentioned do not accomplish the pur-
pose of their installation, we recon-
mend that chlorination plant be in
stalled at the outlet of the filter beds
to purify their overflow and destroy
the odor therefrom.
Fifth.-We recommend that a sew
er line be put in from the new site Of
the septic tank to carry the overflow
from that place as far down Paradise
creek as possible before emptying
into it, provided the right of way can
be procured for that purpose without
cost to the city.
Sixth.-We recommend that the in
let into the present septic tank, which

CLOSING ORDERS
ARE AGAIN CHANGED
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR BICK-
NELL BACKS UP UNDER A
STORM OF PROTESTS

| State Food Administrator Bicknell
has retracted his order made last
week by which soda fountains, ice
cream parlors, drug stores, hotels and
restaurants were ordered to close at
o'clock, and has fixed the hour at 10
p. m. Such a storm Of protest went
up all over the state that the food
administrator could not stand it and
sent out telegraphic instructions to
county administrators changing the
hours He also changed the order on
flour for merchants and bakers who
can now purchase as much flour as
they did in the same period in 1917.
H. D. Martin, county food admins
traitor, received the following tele-
gram from Mr.. Bicknell with a re-
quest that it be given wide publicity.
The telegram is self-explanatory It
follows:
"H. D. Martin,
Moscow, Idaho:
The flour rule limiting merchants
and bakers to the purchase of 70 per
cent of the amount Of flour they
bought the preceding quarter, 1917, is
now abrogated.
They may now purchase their full
requirements. The so 50' rule gov
erning sales Of flour and substitutes
remains the same. Please give wide
publicity. Have decided to change
closing hour orders for drug stores,
soda fountains, soft drink stands, res
taurants, hotels and others serving
meals to 10 O'Clock p. m. instead or
9 o'clock, is named in original order.
The reason is that while we under
stood the government would by July
Is put US on Pacific Coast time, we
have now been advised this action
will not be taken before another 30
days. Otherwise closing rule remains
the same. Give closing order wide
publicity.

is in the northeast corner, be changed,
and that the sewage be made to enter
the tank in three inlets spaced equal
ly along the east end of the tank
This will do away with the cross cur
rents now existing in the tank which
leaves 20 to 80 per cent of its present
spaces dead water, and destroys it's
efficiency to that extent.
Seventh.-We recommend that a
proper scum BATTLE plate be installed
at the outlet of the septic tank to
prevent the scum accumulating there
from flowing out and communicating
the outflow and causing an odor be-
low
The city engineer has roughly esti-
mated the costs of installing the i'm
provements as recommended by your
committee as follows:
Sewer line from old tank to
new site, including outlet. $40, 100000
COLONIZATION works ....... 100000
Two filter beds at $1,000
each 2,4OO.OO
Alterations at old tank. 49,. 10000
Total ................$ $23 10000
To finance this improvement in the
also result in more of the cost being
paid in cash by property owners and
reduce the final issue of bonds to such
an amount that they could easily be
handled by our local financiers. The
time necessary to reform the plans
and specifications, to amend the ordi-
nance and to advertise and receive
bids, should the recommendations of
this committee be adopted by the
council, would be 20 days at the out
side, and might be cut to 16 by prompt
action by the council. The expense Of
this advertising would be small. The
city engineer should be able to handle
this work without the necessity Of
hiring outside assistance. \

sewer system your committee is OF
the opinion that the only way open
to the city is through the bonding of
the property within the sewer district
under the Improvement district"
bonding law. Owing to the demand
for money for all war purposes we are
of the opinion that per cent i'm
provement district bond cannot be
sold at par, so contractors must fig
ure on discount of about 10 per cent
on such bond in making up their bids
This will raise the cost of the work
by that amount. We, therefore, rec
ommend that the ordinance as passed
by the council be amended to provide
for these bonds drawing per cent
instead of six. In our opinion this
would allow the bonds to sell at par
and not add to the cost on account of
discount. This rate of interest would

1000 MEN CALLED
FROM THIS STATE
IDAHO ASKED TO FURNISH TWO
THOUSAND MEN IN AUGUST
WITH BUT 500 LEFT

With only 500 men left in class
in Idaho after the July quota is filled
the state is called upon to furnish
| 1000 more men in the first few days
of August, and unless the 1918 regis
| trants are classified and class l is en-
| larged, men will have to be taken
from class 2. The state must entrain
| 1000 men. There is no alternative
The provost marshal's orders require
that that number be entrained for
camp and if there are not enough men
in class / to fill the quota, class 2
must make up the deficiency. The
following dispatch from Boise tells
what is required Of Idaho in the way
Of furnishing troops for July and
August:
"BOISE.-The state of Idaho must
supply 1000 more men for the national
army under the draft. The call to
entrain them during the five-day
period beginning Aug. was received
today by Governor Alexander and
transmitted to the adjutant generals
department which is now working on
the quotas for the various draft
boards in the state. These men are
to enter Camp Fremont, Cal.
"This call will take into the service
all of the class l men registered in
the class of June 5, 1917, and draw
upon the class of June 1, 1918, or
those men who registered on the lat
ter date, having reached their 21st
birthday between the two dates. AS
many of the registrants Of June 5,
1918, have not as yet submitted their
questionnaires and, therefore, are not
classified as to their military respon-
sibility, it difficult to determine the
number of men available for immedi-
ate induction into the service in class
one. -
''Fill Call This Month
"On July % Idaho will entrain 1000
men for Camp Lewis. This call left
only about 500 in class 1. The adju-
tant generals department has appor-
toned the call among the various
counties and to Boise city and plans
have been completed for their mobi
lization and transportation.
"There were registered in this state
on June 5, 1918, total of 2788 men
who became of age between June
5, 1917, and June 5, 1918. 1t is be-
lieved that the greater percentage,
probably 65 per cent of these men,
will be available for service when the
classification of their questionnaires
is completed. The new call, however,
will take the most Of them the adju-
tant generals department is inclined
to believe, this conclusion being reach
ed on the available figures at hand.

plenty of complaint now from the
hunters who have to go through
months of red tape to get their pay.
What is needed, say the Game Com

the hunter when he sends in his
pelt. This will probably be achieved

He can tell whether the beast has n

knows a weasel from a tomcar. He
first mutilates the hide with a cash

it ever being presented again as a
new skin. 1t is infallible and was
entirely ignored under the old re-
gime. When a peace justice paid
for q pelt he never nicked 1t. Con-
sequence was that many a shifty old

Two Turkish Cruisers Sunk
by British Shins in Battle

London, Jan. Fl. - In a naval
action between British and Turkish
forces at the entrance to the Darda-
nelles, the Turkish cruiser Midullu,
formerly the German Breslau, was
sunk and the Sutton Yawuz SeIim,
formerly the German Goeben, was
henched. This announcement was
made by the Admiralty last night
The German cruisers Breslau and
Goeben were in the Mediterranean
sea at the outbreak of the war and
fed into the Dardanelles, seeking
safety from the British and French
warships that sought their destruc-
tion.
Since then they have been active
in the Dardanelles, at the Black Sea
entrance to the Bosphorus and in
the Black Sea along the Turkish
Asiatic, the Russian and the Ru-
manian coasts.
Reaching Constantinople in the
middle of August, 1914, the British
government Immediately protested
against the German warships be-
ing accorded refuge and Turkey
promised that they would be intern
ed, and placed out of commission
until the end of the war. Later, how
ever, it was announced that Turkey
had purchased the cruisers and
them the new names of Midullu and
Sultan Yawuz Selim.
Then followed frequent reports Of
the activity of the worships in the
Black Sea, bombarding enemy land
positions and engaging or being en-
gagged by ships of the Russian Black
Sea fleet. Although the Turkish and
German war statements frequently
announced victories for the re-
christened Germans, the Russian
Admiralty on numerous occasions
told of how Russian warships had
sent them scurrying from the Black
Sea into the Bosphorus, damaged,
on fire and SHOWING the wounds the
Russian shells had given them.
Shortly afterward, however, the
Midullu and her sister ship again
would appear, and the game of hide
and seek between them and the
Russians would go on again until
another battle took place, the Turks
in the meantime having sunk cargo
boats ranging from the smallest
fishing craft to steamers.

this country. Clary told the re
porter something he did not know,
namely that a weasel is simply alias
for ermine, that costly white fur
you always see on actresses. Yes,
a weasel, that is one-tenth of the
tribe, turns white in the winter, all
but the tip end of his tail and that
ever remains black. The farmer
gets $3.50 for a weasel hide and by
the time the fur merchant gets
through with it the actress has TO
dig deep for her neck warmer. A
weasel is, by all tokens, worse than
Hun Kaiser in his thirst for blood
and death.
%Now you take a wildcat" said
Clary, and, by the way, he had two
there, five feet long. "A wildcat
will eat one rabbit at night and be
contented, lie down and sleep with
a good conscience. But that weas-
ell there" he pointed to a miserable
thing, only one-sixth as long as the
wildcat, will kill twenty-five rab-
bits just for the fun of 1t and let
them lie in the snow. He treats
chickens the same way, 30 no one
has much sympathy for a weasel"
Mink is about the most valuable
pelt we have in this state. And
yet the mink seems to be harmless;
he only eats water snakes, which
no one is fond of. and frogs. A good
mink skin brings $3.50. He is plen-
tiful up in Crawford, Somerset and
Wayne counties, where he toys away
life in the water and swamps. The
red fox is also costly and hardest
to capture. He thrives in the North
Tier counties, while the gray is found
plentifully in Perry, Wayne and
Pike counties.
The strictness with which game
laws are now administered is high
ly satisfactory to every citizen who
loves to feel that there is still some
primeval territory left in Pennsyl-
yania. Until recently it was COM
mon for hunters to poison grain
and thus kill thousands of birds
and animals. A number of these
criminals have been convicted
through the efforts of the present
authorities. With the reforetation
going on it is not unlikely that our
forests will be populated more and
more with game and thus preserve
something of early days for coming
generations.

DIR. DIXON WARNS
AGAINST EXCESS
Says That Alcohol Must Be
Eschewed if One Would
Avoid Dread Pneumonia

overeating and drinking are pro-
lific causes of pneumonia and not
only people in civil life, but the
young men who are in military
training should refrain from over
indulgence during the excitement
OF a new life, says DR.. Samuel G..
Dixon, state commissioner of health
IN g statement issued to-day giving
warning of dangers of pneumonia.
DR.. Dixon addresses himself espe-
cially to the young men in the mill
tary camps and calls upon citizens
to assist the military authorities and
at the same time to keep them
selves fit.
DR.. Dixon says: Getting the
great number of men together from
various parts of the country to mill
tary camps is most difficult duty.
Ihe violent change of climate and
the exchange, in many cases, to out
door life from indoor life, without
proper clothing and under unusual
living accommodations, as well as
the influx of new men, without iso-
latlon camps where they might be
Kept under observation until any
contagious disease has had time to-
develop, are sources of danger TO
the men who are already in the
service. Unfortunately, the recruits,
under the excitement of the new
life. are tempted to indulge in high
living and alcohol, which condition
IS always bad, particularly in cases
or pneumonia. Alcohol combusts in
the human system and does so at
the expense of other valuable food
stuffs, and therefore, should not be
considered foodstuff under the,
circumstances. 1t interferes wiel
treatment, using the patients
strength, when this strength is most
needed in resisting the disease.
Overeating and drinking are bound
to increase the death rate from
pneumonia. 1t is the duty of each
one to take good care of his health
so as to enable him to fight against
this serious, exhaustive disease pre-
valent in winter.
During the last several months,
not only in military, but in civil
life. we have lost by death q large
number of citizens by pneumonia
ana other diseases, where the pa
tients' condition was due to the fact
that they were overfed and over
alcoholed.
1T is to be hoped that this word
of warning will, particularly at this
time when this terrible worlds war
calls for our best efforts, help us
to restrain ourselves, and that our
citizens in civil life will join in
assisting the military authorities ilfl
carrying out their discipline, by re-
training from furnishing alcohol to
those who are in the service"
