its necessity. All the principal muni-
tions plans will be permitted to run

Attacks Made by Congress
When congress assembled this morn-
ing attacks on the fuel administration
burst out anew, mingled in the sem
ate with resentment that the fuel ad-
ignored it's resolution ask
ing for delay.
Senators. described themselves as
being in state of "impotent indigna-
ton Senator Smith of Michigan de-
clared: "All this chaos is shameful.
The senate should arise and clip the
wings of those who seek to exercise
authority which never was intended
to be given"
Senator Smith of Georgia received
a letter from Fuel Administrator Gar
field reading: 'The ruling does not
apply to newspapers and other in
iustries operated by hydro electric
power"
House Opens Fire Also
The order was attacked in the house
also. Congressman Snyder of New

hitting Garfield to issue an order
which meant utter chaos, want and
suffering in the country.

VARSITY TAKES
ANOTHER GAME
IDAHO HAS LITTLE TROUBLE IN
DISPOSING BASKET BALL
INVADERS

Whitman's veteran five again went
Edmundson's university quintet last
night in the second contest of the
four-game series which the two teams
have scheduled. The varsity doubled
it's opponents score for the second
time, rolling up AZ points while the
Missionaries were achieving but 20.
Only at the beginning of the final
period did the Whitman five perform
on a parity with Coach "Hec's" scint-
/ illant charges, two sensational shots
| hooped by Wilson and another Gagged
by Clerin giving the Missionaries a
| vigorous impetus that carried them
with eight points of the varsity's to-
tal
Shut Out at First
Borleske's men were SO closely
guarded in the first half that they
failed to register a single goal from
the field, their nine points resulting
from Gus Clerin's foul line accuracy.
Drom Campbell and Les Moe were
largely responsible for the 25 Idaho
points amassed in the same period
Drom Campbell was perhaps the
most sensational performer of the eve
ming, achieving the substantial total
of seven field goals, but Les Moe, who
hoped five baskets and ranged the
floor brilliantly, was also an unques-
toned star.
Work of Varsity Boys
Ernest Lindley again played with
the intelligent aggressiveness that
characterized his performance of
Wednesday, The best tribute that
can be paid to him and to Gene Hyde,
the scrappy varsity running guard,
lies in the statement that Whitman
failed to score save by the foul-line |
route in the first half and that five
field goals was the Missionaries to-
tai in the entire game.
Hunters Fine Record
Elra Hunter, who served as team
accounted for 16 points,
dropping in four baskets from the
midst of the melee and caging eight
of his II free throws. He passed ably
and played hard team basket ball
the affray.

ON IT'S WAY TO SCRAP HEAP
Dialect Known as pennsylvania
Dutch" Bids Fair Soon to Be
Thing of the Past.

pennsylvania Dutch that curious
combination of German, English and
Yankee, which since Revolutionary
times has developed in parts of Penn
sylvania and Ohio, is going into the
discard. For more than a century it
has been growing just as languages
always grow, with use. 1t has cor
rupted words, made words, created
forms, one might say a grammar of
its own. 1t has not, it is true, pro-
duced a literature. But it has been the
speech of a considerable number Of
persons in their homes. It long since
ceased to be recognizable as German,
dents tell us, are mingled German,
English, Welsh, French and even Gaze
lie words.
pennsylvania Dutch has been the
dialect of those German disciples of
Peter Memo who came to America,
some Of them in pre-Revolution days,
seeking religious liberty and political
freedom. Some of these went into
Ohio during Revolution days, others in
to Canada, some as late as Civil war
days. Their religious beliefs contrib
uted to isolation. And they were large
ly an agricultural people.
Now the word has gone forth among
the Mennonites that it is no longer
patriotic to speak Pennsylvania
Dutch" and as fast and as thoroughly
as possible these unbelievers in war are
discarding the speech Of childhood and
home associations. The task is not an
impossible one to them, since all or
nearly all Of them have had some ex-
perience in the common schools. From
among them 5000 young men have
gone overseas to fight the oppressors
of their ancestors and the barbarians
who threaten their own liberties.
The banning of Pennsylvania
Dutch" is an impressive object lesson
to all Americans. Let's all resolve to
speak English.-Detroit Free Press.

ELECTION NEWS
COMES SLOWLY
People Called on to Exercise Pa
thence and Wait for the
Returns.
MAY BE MATTER OF DAYS
Congestion Due to Exigencies of War
time, Combined With Shortage of
Operators-Congressional
Vote Only Important.

Election returns had no right OF way
over the telegraph lines of the coun-
try last night.
The usual bulletin service of the two
telegraph companies, which has been
a feature of election returns for years,
was abandoned this year by reason OF
wartime congestion and shortage or
operators.
AS q result the actual outcome OF
the struggle for state officers ana Tor
the control of congress, which is being
watched with eager and intense inter
est at the White House, as well as IN
the other capitals of the world, is still
in doubt.
1t is possible that the delay in re-
turns and uncertainty in the final re-
suit may equal that of the presidential
election of two years ago, when at
least forty-eight hours elapsed before
definite data was Obtainable.
The action of the telegraph cOmpa-
MES in dispensing with the customary
bulletin service was taken at their
own initiative, they announce, because
of lack of facilities, due entirely to
prevailing conditions. The post office
department says government authOrl-
ties did not specifically raise the ques-
ton and the course of the companies
undoubtedly was dictated by necessi-
ties of the situation.
Early returns give the following re-
suits: For congress, Seventh district
John J. Esch Rep.); Tenth, James A
Frear Rep); Eleventh, AdOlphus T
Nelson (Rep); elected.
Figures on the state ticket were SO
inadequate that it was impossible to
tell results. The managers of both
parties expressed confidence.

Dies of Influenza in England.

Oshkosh, Nov. 6.-Private AdOlph
Gertsch, twenty-five years old, com
pleted a greater part of the journey
to the battlefields of France, but he
was not destined to finish the great
adventure, for he died somewhere il
England" of pneumonia. Word of his
death on September % has been re
ceived from officials at Washington by
his paretns, Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph
Gertsch of this city. He and his broth
er. UIrich, both members of the Eighty.
sixth division of the United States

Death Guided the Plane.

A remarkable instance occurred
somewhere in France, in which a faith
full flyer brought his machine safely
home, although he himself had died
from the effects of wounG received
in an encounter with an enemy ma
chine in the air. Knowing that he was
about to die, he propped himself up
in such a way that the rudder bar and
control lever were kept III position,
carefully calculated the distance back
to camp and arranged the machine SO
that it would volplane safely to the
ground after his soul had departed.
His plans were successful, and when
his Mortified companions fastened to
him they found in his pocket note
book in which was the information he
had been sent to obtain-"at all costs. "

It Didn't Work.

A wee four-year-old was having
Thrift stamps explained to her by her
young uncle, an enthusiastic canvass
er. To illustrate his talk he ended
it by giving her two quarters. Nov
these will buy you two Thrift stamps -
he said.
"Two Thrift stamps" she repeated,
smiling.
A few minutes later her grandmoth-
er came into the room. The uncle,
eager to display the effect of his ora
tory, ordered: MARY Ellen, show
grandma what you have"
Obediently Mary Ellen displayed her
two quarters. "Now, tell grandma
what you're going to buy with them, -
he smiled in anticipation of the
answer.
But his smile didn't hold. In Macy
Ellen's sweetest tones came the in
formation: 'Tandy anc tookies."
