CONTROL OF THE
TELEGRAPH LIKELY
GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE CON
troll OF TELEGRAPH AND
TELEPHONE SYSTEMS

WASHINGTON.-Owing to the
threatened strike of telegraph opera
tors Of the Western Union Telegraph
and Cable Company, called for next
Monday, government control and oper-
alton of the nations telegraph and tel
ephone systems has. been recommended
to congress by President Wilson.
In the face of the strike called on
the Western Union for next Monday
an effort will be made to put the matter
through congress before its recess adj
journment this week. 1t is expected
that legislation will be passed giving the
president power to take over the sys-
TENS as he did the railroads.
It is believed a resolution authorizing
the president to take over the lines will
be reported favorably by the committee
today.
Letters approving this method of solv-
ing the problem have been sent by Sec
retary of War Baker, Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, and Postmaster General
Burleson, whose opinion was sought by
the committee.

Suggestion Made for Provid-

Nacks

It has been suggested that cam
teen" be provided for the soldiers sta
toned at the University of Idaho for the
special training and it has been also
suggested that the Red Cross take this
UP. These men are quarantined and cal-
not leave the campus. They require
many small ahticles that could be OBJ
tanned down town but they have no
method of securing them. When the
carrier boys go to the campus with
their papers they are frequently given
money by the soldiers and sent down
town for various artic es. They like
nick-nacks, fruit, ETC., end If a stand
were kent where they could reach it
this would prove great convenience
for the men.
The soldiers are we'll led at the dor
rnitory but they, like every one else,
get hungry between meal. They would
like to get ice cream, candy, soft drinks
and light refreshments, but they cannot
would do we'll to take this matter up at
once and provide small fund with
which to start a refreshment stand at
s4he campus border where the men could
reach it and secure the things they
crave.
It is hoped that some public spirited
men or women will take this matter up
OF once and arrange to have refresh
ment stand opened at point to be
reached by thesren- his should ne

MORE SOLDIERS
GO FROM MOSCOW
Eight More Men Leave Mos-
con. for Service in the
Army

In addition to the number of men who
left Moscow Friday to join the new ma

ed and have responded to the call Don
aid Nankervis went to College Park,
Maryland, to enter the radio school there
on special induction, leaving Sundey.
On Saturday evening Albert Emerson
Nicely, of Moscow; Millard Fillmore
Harland, Of Troy; and Earl G. Estes,
of Moscow, left on the 80 O.-W. R.

they will enter the training school at that
point
On Sunday afternoon Peter Olson, OF
Bovil1, and Lyman Chapman Bigelow,
of Moscow left on the Northern Pacific
for Vancouver, to enter the service OF
their country in the airplane manufac-
turing department.
John William Brigham, of Moscow,
was inducted into the army from Ober-
lin, Ohio, where he is attending school,
and Keith C. Flower, of Potlatch, enter
ed the service of his country yesterday,
going from Hoquiam, Wash, to Van
couver
The canteen committee supplied those
who left Moscow Saturday evening and
Yesterday with 1uncheons and dainties,
giving them the same as was given
those who. left last Friday. The COM
mittee deeply regrets that it did not
azs1rsss that Donald -sEatllsc>r~is was tc
leave and failed to provide him with
a lunch. No one was there to bid him
good bye because no one, outside of his
immediate family, knew he was gong.
The committee regrets the fact that he
was overlooked more especially because
his mother, Mrs. J. N. Nankervis, has
been so faithful in always providing
her share for the lunches prepared for
the other soldiers and has never fail
ed to do her part. Had the committee
known that Donald was going it is GER
tain he would have been well supplied
with lunch and committee would have
been there to bid him good bye.

judicial appropriation bill on account
of provision increasing the govern
