IDAHO UNIVERSITY AND WAR

President Lindley of the University
of Idaho says: Nothing counts but
the war;" and in proof of this state
ment the entire university has been
made available for war requirements
Courses were revised to meet war
needs; short courses were organized for
men below draft age, designed to rend-
or them more efficient in the technical
phases of military service; the extension
service of the university was rapidly
expanded in the interest of food produc-
ton and conservation; large numbers
of students and faculty members have
entered the service of the nation; large
contributions have been made to war
funds and military instruction at the
is given added emphasis
''In short, says President Lindley,
&" the university is loyal to the spirit
of the great state of Idaho which in two
years has sent disproportionately
large number Of its sturdy men to the
front.

I'M AND ANTI-EUM.

The Free Press recently received "A
copy of the Anti-Prohibitlcr Manual,
published by the National Association
of Distillers and Wholesale Dealers. The
booklet contains great deal of pro
paganda for the vets, and contains a
list of names of men VINO did not ad-
vocate prohibition, and which, simply
for the sake of entertainment, is worth
reading. The list contains such names
as Jesus Christ, John c. Calhoun,
Christopher Columbus, Saint Paul,
Socrates, Daniel Webst,.. William
Shakespeare, the Popes of Rome, John
Paul Jones, Martin Luther, Henry Clay,
Michel Angelo, John the Baptist, L. S.
Grant, all the Apostles Goethe, Ben
jamin Franklin, Julius Caesar, Alfred
Tennyson, Robert Burns, Alfred the
Great, Perciles, Napoleon Bonaparte,
Plato, Charlemagne, Immaunel Kant,
Voltaire, Dante and George Washington.
1t occurs that the present is no time
for the distillers to spread their propa-
ganda, especially in a state in which
the liquor question is settled A wet and
dry light always creates a great deal of
and much hard feeling re-
suits therefrOm Now hat the issue is
settled here, and the country has far
greater questions that need its attention
than the booze question, it is high time
for both the vets and the drys to calm
themselves and quit shouting rum or
1nti-rum in Idaho.

BAR GERMAN FROM GRADES

The state board of education has
voted to prohibit study OF the German
language in public schools Of Idaho NJ
to and including the eighth grade. The
board decided to leave the teaching of
German in the high schools to the vari-
Gus local school boards, but recommend.
ed that the teaching of the French and
Spanish languages be encouraged. Op-
position to the teaching of German in
the public schools is spreading through.
out the United States and in many
places is manifest in prohibition of the
study. About tie only unfortunate re-
suit of ruling of this manner is that
thousands of persons who have been
schooled to teach the German language
would be out of jobs. But when one

mand for teachers, and the resourceful-
ness of the average instructor, the re-
sultant Inconvenience could not help

III order to release additional locomo-

restriction comes largely because the

IN THE PHILIPPINES

Just twenty years ago the eyes of thu
American people were fixed on the
Philippine islands, and especially OF
activities in Manila bay, where, ON May
1898. an American fleet, under com
mand of Commodore George Dewey
destroyed a Spanish squadron, and open
ed the way for American occupation OF
the capital of the Philippines, at that
time Spanish possession.
Today, so deeply involved in a war
on the opposite side of the globe frol
the Philippine islands, we give little
thought to these far-off possessions of
ours, and what is being done for the
Improvement of the people of the is
lands.
1t is gratifying, therefore, TO note
that, while America is directing almost
her entire energy toward winning the
war in Europe, the U. S. administration
in the Philippines and the F ilipinos
themselves are not taking siesta. On
the other hand, they seem to be pro-
crossing rapidly, as is evidenced by re-
cent industrial report from Manila,
which says that plans are being made
for establishment in the southern Philip
pines of private bank, to be capitaIiz-
ed at 81, 100000, in order to render eff
fective help to the sugar planters of
that region.
In order to reduce the present high
cost of foodstuffs in Manila, the city
authorities have decided to open COM
munity markets where supplies will be
sold to the public at cost.
Two more vessels of 10000 tons
weight cargo each have been added to
the fleet carrying Philippine produce
between Manila and the L. S. Pacific
ports. With these new boats, which
will be operated by the Standard o..
company, the Philippines are promised
total of 100000 tons of shipping. The
additions are the Royal Arrow and
Astral, and they will carry sugar, hemp, |
copra and barreled oil. They will also
be used to relieve the situation in Iloilo,
where sugar has been piling up await |
ing adequate transportation.
sugar plantation in the agricultural
colony to be established i'll Cavite for
the boys of the Philippine reformatory
is now being laid out Although the
boys are to be taught to do general
farming, it is intended to devote the
greatest effort to the growing of sugar
cane.
Before tile present month is out
Manila will see ground broken for four
more school buildings, which, together
with those now in process of construc-
ton, will add six to the city s list. The
new schools will be a high school to be
erected at cost of 100000; an inter
mediate school, at $4,000; and two pri-
mary schools at $4,000 and S35 900
respectively. The new schools will be
built on city lands. The completion of
these schools viii be followed by the
construction of nine more school build
ngs, all to be ready for use by the end
IF the year.

Thirty Years Ago Germany Planned to

Did you know that more than

OF Military Science in Germany
was. required to submit a plan
for the invasion of the United
States, as a part OF his training?
An American student who is the
author of this statement says
that you may be sure that there
are many well-worked-out plans
for the invasion of the United
States, reposing safely in the
archives If the German General

there IS any chance of carrying
them out successfully.
Can there le any doubt as to
whose war this it is that we are
fighting? 1t is not a war for the
defense of France, Belgium, OF it.

of ourown lives and safety. We
cannot longer shut our eyes to

Farmers SGT Apart Fields Tn WIN War.

Recently a request was sent out
from State Headquarters to the
farmers of the State urging those
who !had failed to plant Extra
Acres" or ""ictory Acres, to ded
icate an acre or more already

sized the fact that it was to be
one of the best acres that should
be given to the cause of winning
the war. The farmers have done
the big thing, many OF them, by
going a step further and setting
aside whole fields for this pur.
pose. They say that an acre is
not enough, and that thew are
willing to make a greater sacri.
flee .and give whole fields a n d
crops to win the war.
