DEFENSE COUNCIL
SOUNDS A WARNING
CALLS UPON CITIZENS OF NOR
THERN IDAHO TO COOPERATE
ON WAR MEASURES

A warning has been sent out by the
state council of defense to the peo-
pie of northern Idaho, and their CO.
operation is asked in protecting this
part of the state from sedition, dis
loyalty and other dangers and to pro-
mote increased production in all lines.
The people are warned against pro-
pagandists who are going about the
country in the guise of book agents,
insurance agents and adjusters or dis
tributers of quasi-religious works.
people are warned that many of these
are spies working for German inter
ests, spreading German propaganda
or working in the interests of disloyal
organizations, such as the I. w. W..
and kindred associations that are try
ing to hinder preparations for the sue
cessful carrying on 'of the war.
The people are especially warned
against those who are asking the wom-
en- of the state What are the corpora
tions and big business doing while
you (the mothers) are giving your
sons to fight for the nation?" The
statement says that the fire losses in
the United States last year were far
larger than ever in the history OF the
nation and that large per cent OF
these were of incendiary origin to help
the German cause. The closest vigil
ance to guard against fires and to ar
rest and punish firebugs is urged.
Other things that should be watched
are here given in the language of the
circular sent out by the council:
"There ought to be very close OBJ
servance in every community OF the
of any new body of any
Kind, cult or creed, whether it be relig- |
GUS, political, social, benevolent or |
whatever it's name or Ostensible pur-
pose may be. You ought to investigate
Ind know positively what it's purposes
md objects are, and that it is loyal.
'sThe state council of defense is OPP
posed to any one addressing any
gathering or assemblage of any kind
n any other than the English langu-
Ige, and this restriction is being OBJ
erved and enforced in most sections
# the state. We hope it may be OBJ
erved everywhere until the war
nds.
"It is thought to be a good idea to
.eep a list of every one who sub
cribes to the various war funds.
Where a man is able to subscribe
to the Red Cross, Y. M. e.
:, Liberty Loan, or buy Thrift Stamps,
nd refuses to do so, the defense coun-
il ought to know the reason why no
UGH subscription is made. Such
raises a serious doubt
$ to a persons attitude toward the
nited States at this time"

DEFEATED

JOSEPH E. DAVIS is THE DEMO-
CRATIC NOMINEE BY A BIG
MAJORITY

La Folletteism and disloyalty re-
ceived rude shock by the primary
election for United States senator in
that state yesterday Interest cen
tered in the republican fight with
Irvine l.. LenrOOt, loyal republican,
now congressman from that state, as
the candidate of the loyal American
republicans and James Thompson the
candidate of the disloyal or La Fol-
1ette wing of the republican party.
Lenroot seems to have won the re-
publican nomination after hard fight
in which Thompson had the lead in the
earlier returns.
Joseph E. Davis defeated Dr. Chas.
Mccarthy for the democratic nomina-
tion by vote of five to one. Victor
Berger, indicted by the federal courts
for disloyalty, is the socialist nom
inee and announced that if he should
be elected he would at once introduce
a bill to withdraw American troops
from Europe and declare peace with
Germany.
Returns at Noon
MILWAUKEE, Returns from scat
tered precincts up to noon, with IA
counties missing, follow: Lenroot,
6O643; Thompson, 6O,109; Berger ESQ
cialist), 33,799. OF the missing coun
ties al but two are normally favorable
to Lenroot. Five of them are in Len
roots congressional district.
LenrOOt in Lead
MILWAUKEE,, 4 p. m.-With seven
counties unheard from, Lenroot leads !!
Thompson by about 25,OOO votes. The
impression is growing that Lenroot
has defeated Thompson by narrow
margin.
Will Support Wilson
With Davis and Lenroot as the nom
inees, both of them staunch support
ers of President Wilson's war policy,
Wisconsin is certain to fall in line
with one senator loyal to the govern
ment. Should later returns give the
to Thompson it is believed
certain that Davis, the democratic
nominee, will be elected by COM
bination of democratic and loyal re-
publican votes.

SAYS WE EAT. MORE
MEAT THAN BEFORE
MEAT ADMINISTRATOR CLAIMS
MORE MEAT IS EATEN ON
AMEATLESS DAYS"

WASHINGTON P Cotton,
division told the senate committee in
vestigating the food supplies that
meatless days have not conserved the
meat supply, but, on the contrary, he
believed there had been more meat
consumed on those days than usual.
Cotton said this was caused because
while many observed meatless days,
others, who previously had not used
much meat, are enabled to do so be-
cause of the high wages they are now
receiving. He thought this has re-
suited in new increase OF cOnsump-
ton rather than saving of meat.

Every year the Slav population gained
in numbers proportionately, every year
its demands for political liberty in
creased, every year its sympathies
natural, racial and religious. with the
main, mass OF the Slavs outside the
Hapsburg empire increased. Finally
the successful Serbian campaign in the
two Balkan wars brought about
situation in which the future domina-

Germany Seeks to Divide slavs.
Now. bearing these facts in mind,
what is the German policy? Obviously
to seek to divide the Slavs in such
way that their numbers will no longer
be formidable and that for fifty years
at least Germany will be free to con-
solidate her road to the near east, to
build her great Mitteieuropa and to
complete her effort to dominate the
world. To do this she must detach
some portions of the Slavs from the
great Russian bulk; she must. in addi-
ton, take measures to suppress the
hopes of the southern Slavs.
Now, with reference to the Russian
Slays. Germany has shown her hand.
At Brest-Ltovsk she proposed that two
states should be created out of the Rus
sian territory taken by Austria and by
herself during the war. The first of
these states was to include all the Bal
tic provinces of Russia and extend from
the environs of Petrograd to the Prus-
sian frontier at Memel. All the great

To start at the beginning, there are
in Europe some 125. .000,o 900 Slavs and 7s,-
600. 900 Germans. Not only do the Slavs
outnumber the Germans greatly, but
they occupy vastly larger territories,
are more prolific and are certain WITHIN
a brief number OF decades to become
far stronger in numbers; overwheim-
ingly superior. In fact. Unless the Ger
man can prevent the unification OF the
SIav race or some sort OF sympathetic
association his position In Europe is ul-
timateiy doomed. so far as this position
mems the domination of the continent
and the possession Of world power.
Fortunately for the Germans, the
slav regulations are not co coneen'rauu cen 1ners
merely geographical barriers between
the various elements of Slavdom; re-
ligion and tradition also divide the
Siavs. Thus, while 100000 slavs in
000,0 900 in Austro-Hungary are sep
arated by no geographical or Linguistic
barrier, 100000 in Bohemia are al
most entirely surrounded by Germano
speaking populations and ls,ooe'osUo W y
southern SlaVs are cut off from the
main mass by Hungarian and German
speaking districts of Austria. In the
same way, while the mass of the Slavs
are Orthodox-that IS, Delons TO tne
Creek Church-the Poles and the Croa-
tfans are Roman Catholic.
Formerly Only One Problem.
AS long as Germany was content to
follow the Bismarckian policy which
aimed at preserving the Germany Gre
ated in the last century, and, not at
setting forth upon a world adventure
of power. there was only one Slav
problem for the German, and this was
Supplied by his 100000 Poles in east
ern Prussia. In a population of 6S,-
100000. all save few hundred thou :
sand German by race and speech. this
was not a great problem, despite the
difficulties and annoyances incident to
the undyinE desire or the Poles for the
restoration of their old nation.
But when Germany, long allied with
Austria, set out to push Austria south
ward to Constantinople-that is. across
the Russian outlet to the open sea by
the Bosporus and the Dardanelles-the
problem at once changed, OF the 50.-
0O0, 900 inhabitants of Austria Hungary
not fewer than 24,000.000 are Slavs,
while the two controlling elements. the
Germans and the Magyars, number but
22,00Q, 900 combined. The remaining
1000 900, Rumaniaf1s and Italians. fav-
ing centrifugal aspirations. are thus
