The Italians are inflicting heavy
casualties on the troops of Emperor
Charles which crossed the river at
this point.
To the south from St. Andrea to
Fossalata, respectively, the northern
and southern flanks of the famous
Zenzon loop, where last year the Aus
TRANS effected a crossing Of the
Piave, only later to be driven back
with sanguinary losses, and from Fos-
salata to San Dona di Piave, the fight
ing also is of violent character, with
the Italians heroically and success
fully, according to the Rome war of
flee, holding the line of the river.
Between Candelu and the Zenzon
loop, where the Austrians crossed the
Piave in Saturdays fighting, the Ital-
lans have driven them back to the
river bank and are endeavoring to
push them across the stream. The
latest Austrian official communica-
tlon records the gain of additional
ground west of San Dona di Piave and
the capture of the village OF Capo
Sile, on the eastern edge of the La
goon region in the province of Venetia
and about twenty miles from the city
of Venice itself.
Thus far the Italians, British and
French have made prisoner of more
than 4,5O0 Austrians, while the Aus
trian war office asserts that 10000
prisoners have been taken by the
Austrians.
Although the fighting has died
down considerably in the mountain
region, it is expected soon again to
be resumed with increased violence.
Emperor Charles is reported to be at
the front and thousands of reinforce

GIVES HER PET LAMB
To THE RED CROSS
FORMER ASSESSOR HELPS
THE GREAT CAUSE

Of course you know that Mary had
little lamb, but did you know that
Marjorie had one, too? Marjorie is
the eight-year-old patriot in the
family of B. j. Jones, formerly as
SCISSOR of Latah county, and at pres
ent wealthy and prominent farmer
near Palouse.
AS soon as Marjorie saw the story
in the Star Mirror about the great
auction for the Red Cross to be held
next Saturday, her noble little spirit
saw in the event chance for sacri-
flee for her country, and she immedi-
ately asked to put her precious lamb
on the sacrificial altar.
Marjorie's lamb is a highly bred
little Shropshire sheep that would be
credit to any farm flock. On Satur-
day morning instead Of following his
little mistress to school, the tale will
Be modernized (the lambs tail is
already in revised version and is cut
SHORTY, and Mr.. Lamb will ride in the
tonneau Of the Jones' car beside Miss
Marjorie, straight up to the auction
block.
Marjorie hopes that the bidding on
her precious little lamb will be spirit
ed and generous, and that some
soldier boy in far-away France will
rest easier on his hospital pillow for
the bandages and bed-shirt that Mar
jorie's lamb will buy.

LATAH FARMERS
POOLtTHE|R WOOL
EXPECT TO GAIN SEVERAL
CENTS A POUND BY SELLING
A LARGE LOT AT ONCE

Farmers of this section are pooling
their wool in compliance with re-
quest of the county farm bureau and
are promised good returns for their
work. Heretofore it has been the
practice of farmers to sell their wool
to individual buyers, each man selling
for himself and, as the lots were
small, they generally got several cents
below the market price.
Already more than 10000 pounds
have been pooled and more wool is
coming in every day. The wool is
being stored at the Farmers Union
warehouse and several offers have al
ready been made for it. An offer of
AZ cents has been made, but at least
seven cents above that price is ex-
pected.
A. w. Kjosness, county agent, who
is in charge of the farm bureau work
and has been active in arranging this
pool of wool, said: "In Ada county
last year we induced the farmers to
pool their wool and got fair sized
pool. Those in the pool got three
cents more than those who did not
enter the pool. I have just learned
that Ada county has 100000 pounds
pooled this year, and that three cents
more has been offered for the pool
than for individual clips, and this
means net gain of $4,000 for the
wool now in the pool in that county
We believe that the farmers Of Latah
county will get several cents more for
their wool if it is all pooled and sold
in one lot than they will get if they
sell it out in small lots. The farm
bureau is back of the movement and
will do all in it's power to get the very
highest price possible for the farmers
WOOL"
There are many small bands of
sheep kept on Latah county farms and
they have been found to be very
profitable. These sheep produce a
better grade of wool than range sheep,
it is claimed, but usually the wool
from these small bands has sold for
several cents below the market price
because buyers would not give as
much per pound for a small as for a
large lot.

Result of Yesterdays Battles

| Result of Yesterdays Battles
| ROME.-In their attacks between
Zenson and Fossalata along the Piave
the Austrians have been stopped
everywhere, says an official state
ment issued tonight by the italian
war office. In the mountain region
and around Montello there have been
no infantry attacks by the enemy.
The allied troops have taken sew
eral hundred additional prisoners and
some machine guns.
Not alone are the Italians and their
British and French comrades in arms
holding in check the Austrian often
sive along the greater part of the hun
dred mile battlefront from the region
southeast of Trent to the Adriatic
sea, but they have turned aggressors
on some of the more important sec
tors, especially in the mountain re-
gions.
Counter attacks in the hill country
in the north at several points have
resulted in the occupation and the
rectification of their lines, while
stiffening of the front along the Piave
river has made impossible further
fording of the stream by the enemy.
Hard fighting still is in progress,
with the Austrians bringing pressure
against the allies on both northern
and eastern parts of the battlefield
in an endeavor to gain access to the
plains.
The strokes of the enemy are par
ticularly violent on the Montello plat
eau, the highest bit of ground along
the middle reaches of the Piave, the
capture of which would give him com
mand of the roads leading through
Treviso to Venice and fairway west
ward through the province of Treviso.

Shakespeare may not have been
thinking of the Moscow Red Cross
auction sale of next Saturday after
noon when he wrote these immortal
words, but he couldn't have described
matters better if he had been paid to
do it. AS soon as one person started
to give for the sale, the little light
of generosity stretched all over town
and country and Illuminated the whole
community. Now they're all giving.
Everybody's doing it.
The number of pigs, chickens, cows
and horses that will be assembled on
Third and Main streets Saturday will
make Noah turn over in his grave,
green with envy for such record Of
quick assembling Of all kinds of live
stock.
Three sheep, a bantam rooster of
high pedigree, and pure bred Poland
China boar, eligible to register were
listed early this morning. The boar
was sired by university boar brought
from Iowa by Dean Iddings, and is
supposed to be worth $3.50 in any
herd.
On Main street a committee con-
sisting of DIR. H. j. Smith, H. J.
David, Mrs. Neidig, Mrs. Shields, Mrs.
Yost, Mrs. Howard David, Mrs. H. j..
Smith, and Mrs. Edgar Steele were
darting in and out of business houses
this morning with a constantly swell
ing list of donations. Among things
promised were a wagon, coffee, a
washing machine, potted plants, auto
mobile supplies and parts, peruna,
town lot, and rooster. The commit
tee was not turned down a single time,
and more Heterogeneous collection of
valuable merchandise it would be hard
to imagine. Nothing like it has ever
been seen except in the dreams of a
rare-bit fiend.
The Corner Drug store will receive
any donation and take care of it until
Neely's barn will receive
and care for the livestock.
There is rumor, not yet officially
confirmed, that an Idaho thrashing
machine will be put with the dona-
lions by Captain Mix of the harvester
company The machine will be forth
coming in case there is a single one
to spare.
The most sensational gift so far
offered is that of N. Williamson, who
will donate eighty acres of valuable
and, located in Benewah county. This
and is free from all encumbrances
except small mortgage of $3.50,
which the bidder must assume. All
5axes are already paid. Ten acres
nave been cleared and are planted to
1 fine stand of timothy. The rest of
5he tract is in timber, valuable cedar
being the chief growth. For an un-
adjoining place belonging to Clarence
Miller an offer of $4,000 has already
,een made. The tract has a fine per-
nanent stream flowing through the
middle of it, so that there is abundant
water all year long. The acreage ad-
oins new and extensively built
'ublic highway. Any one who secures
his eighty acres for 81 200 will be
'etting fine piece of land dirt cheap.

JONAHAN MATHEW, FIRST
 AMERICAN "LIBERALIST." ,"

The first clergyman in the American colonies to attain prominence as an advocate of liberalism was Jonathan Mayhew, who was born in Martha's Vinyard, Mass, 19S years ago today, Oct. 8, 1720. He was the son of Experience Mayhew, famous as a mis- sionary among the Indians.
 Jonathan was graduated from Har- yard and in 1747 was ordained min ister of the West Church in Boston, T post which he held until his death in 1766. While most of the clergy of that period were Jealous monar- (chists, Mayhew was a staunch Re- publican in politics, and his preach ing and writing were remarkable for their liberalism and their controver- sial character. He was one of the boldest and most outspoken of the Whigs, and co-operated with Otis an1 others in their resistance to measures of the British Parliament, while he himself was engaged in controversy with Dr. Seeker, Archbishp of Can terbury, regarding theological mat ters Many of his sermons and tracts were publuished in England,

HIN NEED OF MORE Av|ATORS
Growth of Service Also Gre ates Demand for Civil
 ian Mechanics.

The needs of the fast-moying pro- gram of the Air Service, today more than 160 times greater in respect to personnel than it was when war was declared, require a number of addi- tional men, according to Colonel Shields. acting executive of the Di- vision of Military Aeronautics Ire spective of status in the draft, the Air Service has been reopened for induc- ton of mechanics and of candidates for commissions as pilots, bombers, observers, and balloonists, after hav- ing been closed, except for a few tn- stances, for the last six months,
 In announcing the opportunity for service in the aviation section, officials disclosed the completion here of 29 flying fields, 200 de Haviland planes, 5000 Libetty motors, parts for the first heavy night bombers, $500 train ing planes, and 12,5O0 training en- zines. Civilians have not been given an opportunity to qualify as pilots since last March. During last fall and early winter a reservoir of more than 6,600 prospective f1iers, accepted by the examining boards, had been built up, but this has since been gradually drawn off through graduation.
 Colonel Shields said that while the present call for flying candidates was being made generally, he hoped that in order to avoid unnecessary pressure on the test boards, possible candidates would consider well whether they pos sessed the necessary qualifications for admission to the schools. The age limits for fiiers are from IS to 30, in- elusive, with preference to those un- der 25, and for balloonists from IS to 45 years. Applicants may apply at the Personnel Section, Division of Mill itary Aeronautics, Washington. or to the boards sitting at the following places:
 New York City, 104 Broad street; Atlanta, Ga, Georgia School of Tech nology; Boston, 739 Boylston street; Chicago, 23O East Ohio street; Dallas, Camp Dick; Fort Sill, Okla. Post Field; Los Angeles, Marsh Strong Building; Minneapolis, University of Minnesota; San Antonio. Fort Sam Houston; San Francisco, 55 New Montgomery street; St. Louis, 525 South Euclid avenue; Canal Zone, Camp Sherman.
 In stating the necessity for the en- listment of men as mechanicians, Col Shields gave the following as a list o1 trades desired. Cabinetmakers. chauf- feurs, electricians, automobile me chanics, motorcyclists, tailors, instru- ment repairmen, armorers, carpenters clerks, triggers, engine repairmen, pro- , peller makers and stenographers.

THE 'FATHER OF
 AMERICAN BAPTISTS." :"

The Father of American Baptists,"
 John Clarke, was born in Suffolk, England, So9 years ago today, Oct.
 8, 1909. He was a physician in Lon
 don, but emigrated to Massachusetts, and joined the party of Anne Hutch inson, with whom he went to Rhode Island, of which colony he became one of the founders. In 1644 he es- tablished the second Baptist church in America and became its pastor. Later he returned to Massachusetts as a Baptist missionary, but was driven out for spreading false doc trines." In 1851 he returned to England with Roger Williams and there wrote and published a book en- titled ''Ill News From New England; or, A Narrative of New Englands Persecution After twelve years of labor he secured a new charter for Rhode Island colony, which guaran- teed to every person at all times his own judgment and conscience in mat ters of religious belief. He returned to Rhode Island in 1863 and retained his pastorate until his death in 1876.
