Labor is the vital force of our war

The world war began in August
1914. During the remainder of that
year and throughout the next the sub
marine situation, automatically and
militarily, moved inexorably toward
war. The war department moved not
one step. In the spring of 1915 the Ma
tional Guard was modified against
Mexico. In that mobilization the no.
torious defects of our militia arm were
publicly demonstrated. The insuffi-

The recommendation from the
state council Of defense for legislation
by the coming special session of the
legislature include suggestions that
sound like carnations from the Nom
Partisan league. The defense council
proposes a law providing state,
county or municipal support for pro-
ductive enterprises where necessary"
and as an example suggests providing
for needy and deserving farmers, farm
machinery, livestock and storage
houses for farmers produce" 1t is
claimed that this measure is necessary
to make Idaho lands as productive as
possible and to provide facilities for
caring for the crops after harvest. The
Miner is willing to go to the limit in
support of the war. but 1t submits that
measures such as this should be close
~ scrutinized before writing them in
to the law. Possibly it may be neces-
sary to extend the help to the farm
ers here proposed, but at this time IL
has more the appearance of camou-
flage to cover a political purpose to

President Wilson has now set be-
fore the world in explicit terms thu
objects of the United States in wagins
war upon the central powers. This
eloquent declaration has been received
with acclaim in the American congress
and by the press of our allies, and
without being accepted as an ultimat-
um in all its details, it constitutes the
highest form of international pledge,
But just In proportion to the solemn
ity of this pledge are we in honor
bound to back it with all our might.
And this responsibility lies first upon
the shoulders of the president. who is
not only our mouthpiece but our chief
executive. If our world resounding
challenge is not to return upon us in
hollow echoes of mockery, we must
put every ounce of our weight behind

The investigation into the conduct

claration of war against Germany has

led to believe that energetic efficiency
even though ii was not always in evil

dissension, supplying the army with
guns, providing clothing and personal
equipment for the soldiers at home

sanitary conditions 1t will not be de-
MED that much has been accomplish

compared with what should have been,
and what the people generally believ-
ed was being accomplished, the show
ing Is sorry one, The investigation
has revealed inexcusable delays in the
execution of government contracts and
lack of disposition on the part of
bureau chiefs to overcome them; petty
1ealousies among men in responsible
positions which have seriously retard-
ed military preparations at time
when every citizen, and especially
those upon whom the government de-
Ponds in this crisis, are expected to
lose sight of all personal consldera-
tons under the stress Of war; and a
Lack of business capacity to organize
the vast activities of the government
in order to accomplish the maximum
results.
Primarily the president is RESPONSE

his address to congress and other state
papers he displays a masterful grasp

country is engaged and the magnitude

SOCKS GREATEST NEED
OF U. S. SAILOR BOYS

BASE OF AMERICAN FLOTILLA
IN RITISH WATERS, March g.
Admiral Henry r. Mayo, commander
Of the Atlantic fleet has cabled to Vice
Admiral Sims, in charge of American
naval operations in the war zone, a
request for information regarding the
suitability of the special winter out
fits of clothing furnished to the naval
men by the navy department at
Washington. Admiral Mayo also
wants to know Of any recommends
tons for changes in these garments.
The Associated Press corresponding
has yet to hear word of complaint
against the present outfits worn by
the men. Thanks to the busy women
who knit, most of the men, early on
their arrival here, received excellent
sweaters, jerseys, and socks which
were sent by wives, relatives and
friends back home When the cold
weather came on these were augment
ed by an entirely new issue of extra
heavy winter clothing Many of these
garments were designed by the British
from their long experience in torpedo
boats in the hard winters off this
coast.
Experience has show that the wom-
nu folks home ought to concentrate

demand and the most appreciated of
all things they send to the sailor boys

COUNT NESSELRODE
LOSES HIS FORTUNE

PARIS, March Count Nesselrode,
one of the first Russians to respond
to the peoples demands for better
share of the worlds goods by dis
tributing among them all of his
property except what he required for
his own living, says the growing
distance between the people of Rus
STA and those of Western Europe is
due to the neglect by the French and
other leading nations, except Ger
many. to cultivate relations with the
Russian people.
He was exiled in 1905 by the gov.
eminent because of the mad example
he set to the nobility in giving his
property over to peasants. Since
then he has resided in France and be-
come a naturalized citizen of the re-
public "A personal frined of Kerensky
Count Nesselrode was fervent adj
herent to the revolution and gave to
the provisional government what aid
he could from this end.
The French are astonished at the
progress made by German influence
II Russia" he says, "but they forget
that the Germans are simply reaping
the reward ofpersistent efforts that
date back to a remote period" As
an example Count Nesselrode points
to the great number of Russian
students in German universities where
they were aided, encouraged and cult
waited in every way. He puts the
number just before the war at $4,000.
Count Nesselrode has now been com
pletely ruined by the revolution, the
little property he had retained having
teen sacked, devastated and appro-
priated, yet he keeps his faith in a
final sane outcome of the revolution
and he considers it great fault for
the nations of the Entente to base their
attitude toward Russia any other hy-
pothesis.
