Remain to Stay Foe.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
On THE AISNE-MARNE FRONT,
July.-Efforts made by the Germans
to advance their lines against the
Americans on this front last night
and this forenoon were fruitless.
The Americans for their part were
content to hold their positions along
their slightly advanced line for the
time. The German line, however,
is reported gradually. giving way
both to the right and left. There
was hard fighting thruout the night,
but no concentrated attack in force
by either side.
During the night the Americans
made a pretense of retiring from
part of the town of Servings. The
Germans advanced into the town, on
observing the supposed evacuation.
Two companies of Americans then
closed in and enveloped the German.
force, .Ailling or capturing every man
of it.
Both high explosives and gas shells
were sprayed by the Germans over a
wide area.
The air forces on both sides were
busy this morning. One of the
American observers was attacked by
eight enemy machines, but escaped
and returned to his base.

PROVISION TO BE MADE
EOR RETU AIMING SOLDIERS

It Is the business of the govern
ment to look ahead! Already
Washington has plans in operation
to provide against the day of the
Homecoming of American soldiers.
War-risk insurance is one of the
greatest plans of modern times.
Vocational employment for wounded
soldiers is an actuality, and plans
are being projected to take care of
$4,000 incapacitated men, who are
likely to return from PerBhing's
army this year.
Secretary of the interior, Franklin
X. Lane, has called attention to the
fact mat at the close of the Civil
war Amer ca met it's problems of
caring for the returning soldiers by
throwing millions of acres of home
stead land open for entry, The So
called homestead law was signed by
Lincoln in the second year of the
war, and out of our wealth in lands
we had farms to offer millions Of
veterans. But the bountiful domains
of the sixties and seventies have
passed, and as Mr.. Lane puts it:
1--WE have. no land in any way COM
parable to that in the public do
main-when men turned westward
with army rifle and rolled blanket
to begin life anew"
Even though the rich homestead
lands have all been taken, the fact
remains that there are still arid lands
in the west, cut-over lands in the
northwest and in the states border
ing the Great Lakes. The swamp
lands Of the south can be made avail
able thru their proper development.
However, the best opportunity for
new home-seekers doubtless lies n
the Colorado basin. THAT great
project, l believe, will appeal to the
new spirit of America" says Secre-
tray Lane, who comments: ut
would mean the conquest of an en-
pire in the southwest. 1t is be-
l4eved that more than three million
acres of arid land could be reclaimed
by the completion of the upper and
lower Colorado basin projects. 1t
has been officially estimated that
more than fifteen millions Of acres |
Of irrigable land now remain in the
governments hands. This is the
great remaining storhouse of govern
ment land for reclamation"

RED CROSS CANTEEN
OPENS IN POCATELLO
Institution is Thoroly Equipped to
Supply the Wants of Soldiers

POCATELLO. Idaho, July 81
The Red cross canteen at the Oregon
Short Line depot in this city was Of
ficially opened last night by gay
celebration on the platform of the
union depot. The women of Poca-
tello are among the first in this part
of the state to look after this well
fare Of the soldier boys as they pass
thru the city in all directions on the
trains.
The canteen opened by the local
Red Cross is modernly equipped
thruout, with electric lights and cleo
trio ranges. The unit is located in
a small building remodeled and do
mated by the railroad company, and
most of the equipment was donated
by business firms Of the city. Re-
freshments, such as coffee, dough-
nuts and sandwiches, will be dis
pensed to all men passing thru the
city wearing the uniform of Uncle
Sam. Other small comforts, such as
tobacco, magazines, newspapers and
post cards, are also porvided for the
boys free of charge.
Mrs. Charles G.. Summer, a prom
inent member of the canteen COM
mittee, received callers at the can
teen in the late afternoon, and stated
that the refreshment stand will be
kept open all day and all night if
necessary to serve the boys. Other
women who are prominently con-
nected with the opening of the can
teen are Mrs. D. w. Standrod, presi-
dent of the Pocatello auxiliary to
the Bannock county chapter, Ameri-
can Red Cross; Mrs. T. w. Richard,
chairman of the canteen unit, and
Mrs. -. G. Hinckley, chairman of the
refreshment committee.
Hundreds of prominent people of
the city spent the evening at the can
teen, where program consisting of
speeches, a flag raising and dancing
was carried out. The dance on the
platform of the station proved a
novel affair, with its five-piece jazz
orchestra rendering the latest war
melodies. The festivities continued

NEW LABOR PROGRAM
TO GO NTO EFFECT

On August l the federal govern
ment's new labor program is to go
into effect in Idaho as we'll as other
states in the Union. It is claimed to
stand next in importance to the selec-
tive draft. After that date no en-
ployer with war business who has a
force of more than 100 workers will
be permitted to recruit common la
Dor and all such employers will be
required to use the federal employ
ment service. While the restriction
against private recruiting for the
present applies only to unskilled
labor, as soon as possible it will be
extended to include skilled labor,
and eventually no employer may be
permitted to employ men unless the
latter have United States employ
ment service cards. In the mean
time, however, private recruiting of
skilled workers will be subject to
regulations prescribed by the SER
vice, which will prevent the whole
sale labor stealing" and "poach-
ing" that has been largely RESPONSE
BILE for the DISCRIMINATION of the
labor supply. IM
War industries of the United
States are at the present time short
between 100000 and 100000 COM
mon labOrers. This is the situation
which the United States employment
service has been delegated to re-
lieve by the president and the pro-
duction department and boards of
the government.
The overcoming of present short
ages and the insurance of war manu-
facturers of an adequate supply of
labor for the future has made this
imperative. The new labor-supply-
ing program will be conducted in &C
cordance with the following four
cardinal principles: First, war work
must have men at any COST Second,
Withdrawals Of workers from nom
essential industries for war indust-
ries will be equalized. Third, the
volunteer principle will be followed
in dealing with the individual
worker. Fourth, only fit men will
be sent to war industries.
Each state will be given a quota
of common labor, which may be
drawn upon as men are needed. The
state directors of the public service
reserve in turn will divide their
states, assigning to each division a
certain portion of the states quota. |
Each state will create an advisory
board and state organization COM
mittee to establish community labor
boards. They will have the power
to recommend removals of common
labor in their respective fields.

NAVAL REo.1RVISTS
~. CALLED FOR DUTY
Men to be Used on Troop and Sup
ply Ships in Replacing Civilians

WAohINTON, July 81 In &C
cOrdance with the prearranged plan
for the navy to take over control OF
all shipping engaged in transporting
troops and war supplies, orders have
been issued by the navy department,
calling several thousand reservisits
into active duty. The number called
it was stated officially today, was
limited only by the available facili-
ties for handling them at the naval
training stations.
alter undergoing few weeks in
tensive training, the men will be or
ganized into crews which will be
utilized to replace civilian sailors
now manning the troop and supply
ships, and for the vessels that are
constantly being turned over to the
navy under it's own constitution pro-
gram.
To hasten the process of transferr-
ing the military tonnage, heads Of
the various departmental bureaus
have inaugurated a strict canvass of
the men on shore duty in their Or
CARNATIONS to determine how many
can be spared for service with ships
or troops.
at marine corps headquarters or
ders have been issued to detach
every man whose place can be filled
by a. woman. The men will be sent
to one of the corps stations for duty
with a unit. .....
Similarity, Rear Admiral MCGOWAN
paymaster general Of the navy, has
started campaign for the reduction
in the number of petty officers, yeo-
men, who are filling clerical positions
in the bureau of supplies and &C.
counts. The bureau of navigation,
under Rear Admiral Palmer, was the
first to undertake this step, as the
result of which several hundred
men will be added to the force avail
able for service at sea. r.

NEW PHONE CALL FOR
THE IDAHO REPUBLICAN,

A change has been made In the
telephone system at The Idaho Re-
publican, and people are requested
to call 45-w for the business office
or Ash for the reporters room.
The reporters should handle every
thing pertaining to the news service,
and the business Office should handle
everything pertaining to advertising.
This is the first change we have had
to make in our phone call in four
teen years, and we are both sorry
and glad. Sorry because 1t is not so
easy for the public-glad because
the increased volume of business and
service makes it necessary. tt

ARMY SURGEON IS
AN UNSuNG HERO
Shows Bravery in Unpleasant
Tasks and Without Roman
tic Stimulus.

One Of the unsung heroes Of the war
Is the military surgeon. No man has
been harder worked in the tremendous
fighting of the last few weeks, and his
| work has been in most cases far frun,
pleasant.
There is not the same romantic
stimulus for the medical man that
there is for the infantry or artillery
officer. It Is one thing to dash about
under fire intent on killing or being
killed; 1t is another thing to dash
about under fire and take the same
risks while calmly attending to these
with wounds from which all other men
as they pass avert their heads. 'Thank
God, I am not a DOCTOR" said an officer
who had been detailed to inspect a
number Of improvised casualty clear
ing stations along the front during
recent attack.
The regimental surgeon in the Brit
ish army has in his charge the we'll
being Of more than 1000 men. When
there Is no fighting on, he has plenty
to do. He has to strike a happy me-
dunn in discouraging the faint-heart-
ed, who come up to him as means
Of obtaining fortnight's rest, and in
holding out a helping hand to those
who are In real distress. II he is too
lenient, the commanding officer begins
to ask whether he intends to deplete
the whole regiment; If he is too harsh
the junior officers and men lose pa
thence.
The doctor doesn't ride, but foot
slogs" 1t with his regiment through
the same mud, the same wind and
rain, and the same perils. His duties
are not confined to caring for the Ill
and injured. He must supervise the
sanitation Of camps and billets, insure
the purity Of drinking water, keep a
lookout for outbreaks and epidemics,
maintain continuous campaign Of in
EQUATIONS and vaccinations, and fill
out long series Of records and army
forms. He has to do his utmost In
the light Of his special knowledge to !
maintain the health Of his unit, and
any remissness on his part may lead
to serious diminution in its strength.
In billets he has the added duty Of
playing the role Of medical attendant
to the villagers, as all the French doc
tors in the country districts have gone.

Do Not Break
Faith With Them

An American who has just returned
from Europe said. The question I
was asked the oftenest over there
was this: is il true that the Amer
lean people without the enforcement
of any laws or other restrictions are
voluntarily giving up certain foods
so that we may be fed?'
ITO them it seemed almost in
credible that a great, luxury loving
nation such as they know us Ameri-
cans to be. is of its own volition do
ing without the foods which they
need.
When assured them it was true.
however continued the American,
lit seemed to encourage them and
give them heart more than anything
else I could have said"
1T is wonderful" they would re-
peat over and over again. The
Americans are with us. They will
not let us starve."
If we can always remember this
supreme and beautiful confidence OF
the Allies in our ability to feed
them. it will glorify the little daily
sacrifices we make in giving up
wheat. in guarding our meat supply
TO make ii go the longest way, and
in Watching over the sugar bowl and
frying pan to see that no sugar or
fats are wasted. For it is these
little daily acts of thought and care
by every one of us which make il
possible for the Allies to have food.
You will not break faith with
those helpless ones across the water
who trust you to feed them. The
