Ballard Dunn CT Omaha. special
representative of Director Calvin !;
Joel Priest OF Boise, who ct present
bears the title of assistant tax agent
Of the Oregon Short Line, and Divis-
ion Superintendent Pearce OF Poca-
tello. were in Montpelier last Mon
day morning. The object OF their
visit here was to organize a branch OF
the Oregon Short Line War Service
club.
Some months ago there was es-
tablished on the Union Pacific rail-
road, under the direction of Mr.. Cal
vim, a club known as the Union Pa
cific Family War Service club, the
purpose OF which was to create a
spirit of mutual help and brother
hood between all Union Pacific en-
ployes who had enlisted in the mill
tary service of the United States, and
the officers and employees OF the COM
pany who, from force OF varied cir
cumstance were left at home.
The idea has worked so success
fully on the Union Pacific that a Sim
liar club has been organized on the
Oregon Short Line. All employees OF
the company are eligible to member
ship on payment of monthly dues
ranging from ten cents to 81 per
month. These dues are entirely vol
untary and the amounts are regulat
ed solely by the wishes OF the individ-
ual employe.
A central committee will have
charge of the disbursement of the
funds collected and will look after
in general way the work Of the
organization. This committee is
to be composed of the chief sur
geon, general attorney. one repre-
sentative of each division and the
general shops, and one representa-
tive Of the headquarters building In
Salt Lake City.

HOW GERMAN PRISONERS
OF WAR ARE TREATED

+, 1t is impossible to get back OF the
German lines to learn the compost
tion of the German army, but It is
not impossible to learn something OF
that army. This was done by seeing
a great many men and boys from the
army in prison camps in England
and France.
/ Not far from London there is a
camp for German officers who have
been captlred by the British. AS We
approached this camp, we saw 80
men In the blue-gray uniform OF
Germany, marching along the road
side for exercise. These men were
permitted to take the exercise out
side the guarded camp on their hon
i or to return and to make no trouble
for the three unarmed British on
GERS who accompanied them. They
lived up to this pledge. Besides
having given their word. they must
have realized that It would be DIM
cult to get out of England should
they attempt to make a break for
liberty. They were not permitted,
however. to go near any city or vii
lage.
The camp itself was surrounded
by barbed wire entanglements and
watched over by guards with rifles.
There were 400 German officers In
the camp when we visited IL. and
enough private soldiers. also German
prisoners OF war, to act as their or
derlies.
We were first taken into q room
the size OF a small church. There
was a platform in one end and
benches In the body OF the room. On
the platform was . piano. and
young officer was playing. Another
was playing a violin. and a third
cornet. Two others were working at
easels in another corner.
The men in this room were
young, very young for officers. The

IDAHO POLITICAL STU.
ALTON is INTERESTING

Boise, July 23.-Never In the his
tory Of Idaho has q more interesting
political situation presented itself
than at the present time. In at least
one respect the situation 10 tragic.
The Democratic party faces possible
annihilation. This comes through
the action Of the Nonpartisan leagues
nominating or endorsing a ticket to
be flled for approval at the Demo-
cratic primaries. This ticket is in no
sense q Democratic ticket. In fact,
some Of the nominees we're Republi-
can. Their candidate for governor
was a Republican county chairman
until q few weeks ago. Not a single
nominee ON the Nonpartisan ticket
could BY any possibility have receiv-
ed q nomination from a regular
Democratic primary, except possibly
Senator Nugent, and he Ia acceptable
only to = faction OF the real Demo-
cratic party. Should the Nonparti-
san league ticket win out at the Dem
ocratic primary. the Democratic par
ty in Idaho will be annihiIatsd. The
Democrats viii have no party. No
one realizes this better than the
Democrats themselves. In this ex-
tremity they are holding big pow
vows at the capital almost daily.

The Democrats trace their troubles
to ex-senator Dubois and Senator

SOLVE CAR CRISIS

DR.. Henry Suzzallo, chairman

has been asked to take. charge Of
the work of solving the urgent
problem of transporting workers
to and from the shipyards in Ia
coma and Seattle.
This latest move in the effort
to relieve the transportation stu
alton is the result of suggestion
contained in a telegram from A.
l.. Valentine, superintendent of
public utilities in Seattle, to
Chairman Hurley of the emer-
gency fleet corporation, that
steam trains be run to handle
the shipyard traffic.
Following a hearing before the
