Whitman county furnished it's
county superintendent of schools
with Ford for travelling when visit
ing rural schools. AS a result the
225 schools were inspected in one
half the time. In fact the first time
that all were visited in one year for
decade, and at cost Of about one
goth of former years. This is simp-
ly the application of modern methods
to county business.
Bonner county for a number Of
years has owned it's own cars instead
of paying out hundreds and hundreds
of dollars for hire. These cars are
used by all county officials when
there is need to travel for official
business.
One Of the very important factors
in the conservation of our resources |
during the war, is for each driver of |
car or its owner to learn to give
said car proper care-cleaning, ad-
justing, repairing. Adjustment in
time will save dollars in repairs.

The Troy Lumber company took
delivery of a ton Republic truck
this week from the Auto Sales and
Service company. This is the second
truck of this make the company has
purchased this season. The company
is using it's fleet of trucks to trans
fer lumber from it's mill out Of Troy
to the railway, and finds that much
time and expense is saved by the
use of trucks,a The last Republic
purchased weighs $500 and is equip
ped with all the best up-to-date ac-
cessories.
If time is money, then the use of
the motor is money maker. 1t all
depends on the value of the user of

AS the number of cars increase the
need of a better system of road max
ing increases. If one hundred cars
in the county rutted the main lines
of travel badly, what will one thous-
and do to 'em?

"TOMMIES" MUST HIDE
BATTLEFIELD SOUVENIRS
Old British Army Order Revived
Forbids Carrying Away From War
Zone Any Trophies.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, June mo longer are
British soldiers on leave seen stream
ing out Of the big, London railroad
stations with trophies Of the great
war in the form Of German helmet,
rife, bayonet or few odd bombs and
shells to decorate the walls Of their
homes. An army order long since is
sued. but only very recently put rig
idly into effect, forbids the carrying
Off of these trophies from the battle-
field, and now hawk-eyed military po-
lice watch the leave boats.
But all the orders in the world and
all the precautions ever invented will
not stop souvenir hunters. And the
'sTommies" have the craze worse than
to specialize in railway straps. hotel
soap and towels and chips Of granite
from old castles.
To carry the souvenirs home the
soldiers will try all sorts Of subter-
fuge. They will carry them about
trenches. sometimes even refusing to
dump 1t when going into action. They
guard their treasures like a diamond
for months and will sacrifice little
comforts that mean SO much in the
line in order to stow a harmless Ger
man bomb or the fuse cap OF shell
In their sack.
Men have left their own rife with
the quartermaster or in some unau-
thorized quarter and carried of q
German one in a>waterpoof case past
the picket at the boat. Pieces Of
bombs and shell have been bound into
puttees because haversacks are liable
to ,be searched and extra pockets have
even been sewn into tails of overcoats
to hide forbidden souvenirs.

LONDON, June 1-sergt.
Mai. Flora Sandes, the only
Englishwoman in the Serbian
army, is about to rejoin her
regiment Mt Snloniki. She had
returned to England for n few
weeks sick leave, devoting
much of her time to raising
money for comforts for her
Serbian comrades by telling the
dramatic story of her military
career.
She went to Serbia in 1914,
md, after experiencing the
strain of the retreat before the
German hordes, she was cut off
from her ambulance unit and Mt
once Joined a Serbian regiment
as private.
For two years she took part
in NIL the hardest fighting in.
that desolate theater of war,
often being first over the top,
and coming scatheless through
fierce ha0d-to-hand encounters.
Then, in a charge that secured
some vital heights, she was
wounded by a hand grenade ex-

For her bravery she has re-
ceivcd the highest order that a

vienna PAPER CENSURES
GERMAN PEACE METHODS

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
Zurich, June IA bold editorial in
the Vienna Arbeiter Zeitung. a social
list paper, stating the conviction that
1t was only for moral reasons that
the United States entered the war, and
vigorously censuring Germany's peace
by violence" with Russia, has aroused
great resentment in Berlin.
Neither for military nor economic
reasons. the Vienna paper pointed out,
could the United States have made
war on Germany. America" the edi-
torial continued. need but have look
ed on while the peoples Of Europe
were tearing themselves to pieces,
and reaped gigantic profits out Of the
struggle. Powerful America has
pledged her honor in the war. and 1t is
her will that this honor shall be vim
dicated.
Nevertheless. peace might have
emanated through America. II that
peace has not come, the fault lies
with those who engineered the nego-
tiations Of Brest-Litovsk and the
peace by violence. which was their
outcome.
How, after this proof that this
peace was imposed solely by the viii
of the conQueror. could Mr.. Wilson
possibly believe that the central pow
ers are desirous of a peace based on
his own principles?

HEAVY WAR TOLL ON BIRTHS.
20 Per Cent Fewer German Babes
Born in 1915 Than in 1918,

C3srsspondeneS Of the Associated Press.
LONDON. June The first three
years Of war reduced by over two
million the number of babies who
would have been born in Germany
had peace prevailed. says a report Of
the British local government board.
Some 10 per cent fewer German
babies were born In 1916 than in 1913.
The infant death rate. which rose
to an abnormal height for q time
after the outbreak Of war. appears to
have gradually returned to the pre-
war rate. The food dificulties have
babies dying, at least, till the end Of
1915. In the towns where the food
shortage was most acute the death
rate tended to fall.

WAR[|KE SCENES IN
MANY HOLY SPOTS
Relics and Biblical Reminders
Seen in Journey Along Brit
ish Lines in Mesopotamia.
orrcsnondence o, the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
MESOPOTAMIA, May 15.-Warlike
scenes again encompass places made
sacred by Biblical stories of associa-
the British lines in this birthplace Of
civilization.
Going from Nahaf to Hillah, one
passes Kufa, with it's beautiful
mosque. built upon the spot where. ac-
cording to popular belief, Jonah was
cast up by the whale. Half an hour
later the traveller comes upon an
other shrine. the tomb of Ezekiel. re-
vered by Moslem and Jew alike.
The next relic one passes is Birs
Nimrud, huge mound of earth with
a rock-like brick foundation sur
mounting it, which, according to Arab
tradition, is all that remains of the
Tower of Babel. But here the scien-
tist comes in with his disappointing
researches and tells us that it Is
merely a piece of work dating no
farther back than Nebucharnezzar.
The tower remains in view until one
enters Hillah. Here silence and local
traditions agree, and one may look
upon the identical chamber where
oSlSldZZdE SD" lIlc uduO"TlLIHk OH
the wall.
The story Of Noah and his flood is
a tale easily credible in Mesopotamia
1t nearly repeated itself in the first
two years of the British struggle to-
ward Bagdad. It takes little imagi-
seeking resting place between Kut
and Ali Gharbi.
Those who survived the July of
1917 can easily believe the story Of
Shadrach. Meshach and Abednego, or.
il there is any doubt in their minds.
it will concern only the artificial
origin of the fiery furnace.
New Tongue Arisen.
Babel. the mixing of the tongues
and languages, is still in progress in
Mesopotamia. Moreover, q new
tongue is arising to increase the
original confusion, q compact Of Eng
lish, Arabic and French. In the new
tongue. railroad is called "shemmin-
duffer." a corruption of the French
"chemin-de-fer:" An automobile is
called .stronbill" which is as near as
the Arab can get to the English pro-
nunciation.
At Eden the Arabs have coined a
verb from an English expletive-
jugated in all the Arab moods and
tenses.-"I damfuled you." HE dam
fuled me-" with the proper Arab in
hections.
The British soldier. too, is broaden
ing his vocabulary. Two Of the COM
monest Arab words, "imshi" or go,
and "makoo," or there is none. have
been adopted into army parlance. In
Basrah one may hear the soldiers
calling out for "bill-bellam" Bellam
in Arabic Is a boat, and bill" is the
proposition "in", but Tommy Atkins
is never a purist even of his own
language.
