POLISH SOLDIERS ARRIVE
ON THE ITALIAN FRONT
Developments Make the Strategic
Reconsideration of Austrian
Situation Necessary.

VENICE. Italy. october "a Polish
military mission is now in Rome to
announce the arrival of Il group of
Polish soldiers on the Italian front
and to arrange for the coming of a
vastly greater body in the immediate
future. This development makes a
strategic reconsideration of the Aus
irian situation absolutely necessary,
and it is doubtless being studied now
Opinion here is that the defense of
invaded Serbia will be left by the
Germans to the -tustrians. Austria

The gravity of the Austro- Hun

NosslSche Ieitung declared some DAYS
ago thai If Bulgaria arranged for an
armiStice with the allies the capitu-
Jatlon o. Turkey would be necessary
and that one of the first consequences
of the new situation would be the
reunion of Rumania with the entente.

10 throw against Austria the British
armies operating against Turkey. and
the Balkan armies can raise a revolt
among the Slavs in Austria especially
the Jugo-Slavs.
1t is clear that Austria Hungary
could not resist such pressure. and
her capitulation would be only
question of time. These obvious consid-
erations render the spreading of the
allied offensive to regions now ac-
tually quiet extremely probable.

Mile of Track Quickly Laid.

One of the greatest exploits of the
American engineers was the ballasting
and laying with screw spikes of ninety
pound rail on 400 meters (about one
mile) of standard gauge road in twenty
four hours. The French military au-
thoritieS could not believe that such
rapid work was possible until they We're
told that trains We're already running
on the new lines. The work was per-
formed by French and Chinese laborers
with American bosses. The road has
handled as many as seventy trains in a
single day.
Practically every man in the regiment
has learned French from Il years asso-
citation with the French people and
working under the French military au-
fhoritieS. The peasants consider them
adopted natives of the country. Each
station is surrounded by truck gardens.
More than thirty of these are tended by
the rai1rOaderS between trains, and they
furnish fresh vegetables three months a
year.

Burn Wood and Save Coal.

Look the situation square in the
face, these are war times and our
country is short of coal,-50,000,00O
tons short. We mined 50,00O,00O extra
tons last year but it was all used in
ammunition, war sup
plies and firing battleships and trans
ports. We are still short of coal. The
railroads can't possibly hall as much
as we need. And we are facing an
other shortage this winter. Those
who are compelled to burn coal get it
now, while It can be had, but every one
should lay in a supply of wood.
or coal. We must save
coal for use in the manufacturing of
munitions and many other war sup
plies. This must be done.

WILLOW
IRRIGATION PROJECT

AS a great many Of our readers
Creek Irrigation Project, We will
take pleasure in reporting from
time to time the progress made and
the prospects as they appear to us.
I his is without a question, a very
unfavorable year for a project al
this kind, and yet the present con-
ditions prove that the proposition Is
bound to be grand ssuccess. With
all the shortage of snow and rain fall
during the winter and spring, the
big reservoir at Paddock Valley has
quite quantity Of water. At the
prs ant time the water extends back
at least four and a half miles, and
is within four feet of the present
height OF the dam which is about
sixty feet and is raising all the time.
Thnre are threa sources of supply
that enter the creek below the Pad-l
deck Valley dam, Indian Creek, Lind
sor Creek and Holland Gulsch, which
will be used for early irrigation. Wei
are told by Mr.. Coats that there are
now about two thousand inches Of
"ater flowing over the diversion dam
which is located at his ranch, and
will IN a very few days be turned |
into the bitches for irrigation. The
reservoir at this diversion dam
backs up the creek about one-half
milo, and covers quite territory Of
land. 1t would seem advisable for

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
TAKES STAND ON FOOD LISTS
Requirement to List Food Supplies
Brings Out Fine Evidence of the
Loyal and Patriotic Spirit.

/ Although response to the request to
list food supplies was not expected
before April 20, the responses began
TO pour in in large numbers immediate
iy after the issue of the papers last
week, and many took pains to add TO
their lists some fine expressions OF
patriotic sentiment. One man said:
81 have four sacks of flour left from
wheat exchange last year, but l will
willingly surrender every pound of ii
md live on kusks if need be, if the
fl)Lr is needed for the armies in
France. No man has a right to tx
-stenee in America at this time if he
takes any other attitude" This one
is faom native-born German: "Willi
be glad to surrender food supplies and
also my property if it will make the
land of my adoption free from the
possible yoke of present day Prussian-
ism, which does not represent the be-
loved Germany of my boyhood days"
That expression should shame any
American Stacker.
Tae Payette County Council of De-
tense. at meeting held last Monday, !
adopted a resolution TO
The effect that the honest report on
'ooi supplies would be considered as
2yideDce of loyalty, and that the fail
ire to report could be viewed by the

lence of a disloyal disposition. The
