CONFESSION OF HORACE MANN
his DslOyalist Was Sent to Idaho by lie Seuer and
Worked Under Direction of MCKag

You have all read the confess
sion of Horace Mann. He ad-
mitted under oath that he had
been sent to Idaho by Arthur Le-
Seuer, secretary of the Non-par-
tisan league, to work among the
farmers for the league; that he
had been working under the d.
rection of Ray McKaig, the field
secretary for the league in Ida
no. He confessed that he was a
Socialist and sympathizer with
the l. w. W.; that he had made
statements in defense of the acts
Of Haywood; that he declared
the draft law unconstitutional
and that he was against the war
that he had told a number of
people that the Bolsheviki gov
eminent was the highest type of
democracy that the world had

yet produced. He also admitted
the authorship of a Socialist
book containing rabid state
ments.
When Mann was arrested let
ters and documents were found
on him confirming his confess
sion. Among them were letters
from Ray McKaig praising
Mann's good work" his damn
able Socialism, |. w. W.-ism, pro-
German-ism.
Before Mann confessed, affi-
davits of reputable citizens were
published in Boise and all over
the state reciting the disloyaI
statements he had made. Nc
kaig was fully advised of these
affidavits but he did not stop

tinue to peddle pro-German pro.
paganda, and when he was ar
rested McKaig took steps to de
fend him.
But the evidence was over
whelming and Mann confessed
everything.
Many discriminating letters
were found on Mann and were
taken over by the secretary of
the Gooding county council of
defense. Later the secretary's
office was burglarized and all the
Mann letters that were there
then were stolen. The more i'm
portant ones had been placed in
a bank vault. Who burglarized
the secretary's office? Maybe
Mckaig knows why this was
done? Tell us, McKaig.

PEACE NOTES ARE PASSED BY THE
 ALLIED COUNCIL.
President Wilson Has Not An Swered the Austrian Peace
 Note to Lansing-Terms to Germany Same as to Turkey.

Washington. Oct. 3l.-President
 Wilson cleared up today his task as
 intermediary for armistice and peace
 pleas of the central powers just as
 press dispatches were bringing the
 news of Turkeys surrender and of
 events foreshadowing an early col
 lapse of Austro- Hungarian arms. Formally as well as actually the
 whole question of the conditions upon
 which the war may end now is before
 the American and allied representa- tives in Paris. The next step prob
 ably will be the decision of those rep
 resentatives on armistice terms, un-
 less, before this is reached, Austria follows the example of Bulgaria and Turkey, and capitulates in the field before the great drive that is cutting her forces to pieces in Italy.
 It may be stated that while the armistice program which the Ger mans await may not differ essentially from predictions that it will include surrender of the German navy and submarines, disarmament of the Ger man armies and occupation of Ger man strongholds, the framing of the program has not been completed, and any informal announcements are pre- mature. Exchanges between the American and allied governments as well as discussions among representa- tives in France still are in progress It was intimated today that the purely military phases of the problem probably had been worked out in ad- vance by the supreme war council, but that unhurried deliberations are ne- cessary to dispose of certain ques- tions involved in the making of per peace, which must be dealt with in finally fixing terms of an armistice.
 Secretary Lansing made public dur ! ing the day a note handed to Ambas- i sador Riano of Spain informing him ! that the Turkish request that he i propose an armistice and peace nego- .iations, delivered by the ambassador | October IA, had been transmitted by he president to the governments at ! war with Turkey. Later the secre- .ary announced that the last Austrian supporting similar
The Prescott daily news., 1918-11-01

appeal with acceptance of the stipula- tions of complete independence for subject nationalities, had been for warded to America's belligerents.
 Minister Ekengren of Sweden, in charge of Austrian interests, was so informed verbally, the president ap- parently having decided that it was unnecessary to send the written reply he was reported yesterday to be pre- pairing.
 This leaves one note unanswered, that of Count Andrassy, the Austrian foreign minister. asking Secretary Lansing to intervene with the presi- dent for favorable action on Austria's request. Since the president already has acted Mir. Lansing probably will make no reply.

AUSTRIA TOLD IT

 TALK ARMESTICE
Proposal to the Italian General on the Basis of Leaving Ter ritOry--Will Drive the Enemy Out.

Italian Army Headquarters, s D. m.. Wednesday, Oct. 30-In answer to Austria's announcement that she was ready to evacuate Italian territory, Italy has officially replied that the offer has come too late. It is as sumed the Italians will endeavor to drive the Austro- Hungarians from Italian soil before an armistice can be signed.
 Vienna, Oct. 31-AD Austrian dep utation has been permitted to cross the fighting line for preliminary pour parlers with the Italian commander according to the official announce ment tonight
 The statement says:
 "The high command of the armies early Tuesday by means of a parle- mentaire established communication with the Italian army command. Ey- cry effort is to be made for the avoid ance of further useless sacrifice of blood, for the cessation of hostilities and the conclusion of an armistice.
 Toward this step which was ami mated by the best intentions, the Italian high command at first assum- ed an attitude of unmistakable re- fusal, and it was only on the evening of Wednesday that in accord with the  Italian high command, General Web CT, accompanied by a deputation, was permitted to cross the fighting line for preliminary pour parlers.
 If, therefore, the cruelties of war fare must continue in the Italian thea ter of the war, the guilt and responsi- bihty will have to be ascribed to the enemy"

break, and the decline should help
turing interests. It will also check
the agitation for price fixing, which
was being pushed with vigor. The
steel industry is somewhat deranged
by the necessity for concentration
upon essential products, leaving the
non essentials to the future. There
is an insistent demand for steel
plates and other materials for our
Allies, Great Britain, France and
Japan. In view of the fact that the
war threatens to be continued with
growing intensity, it is quite prob
able that considerable period may
elapse before the production Of nom
essentials is resumed One notable
example of the demand for essentials
is the placing by the government of
a $50. 100000 order for locomotives
with two leading manufacturers.
Enough of these engines are to be
ready in order to avoid a deficiency
of motive power, which had so much
to do with the breakdown Of our
railroad system last winter. This
order also supplements that recently
placed for 1000 freight cars, valued
at nearly $500. 100000, which will
doubly insure us against a repetition
of the coal shortage.
The effect of war upon new capital
issues is very striking. as might be
expected when tho government was
endeavoring to gather in all the avail.
