ATTEND YOURI0WN
STATE UNIVERSITY

The Wallace Press-Times gives the
following excellent reasons in it's edi-
torial columns why the young man
entering the students army training
corps, should enlist at his own state
university. The editorial, which fol
lows, should be read by every Idaho
boy who is eligible for this branch
of the service:
Training corps demands emphasis.
istrants eligible for this branch of
the service enlist at their own state
colleges and universities and not in
those of an adjoining state, and this
is sound doctrine fully justified on
grounds of wise military psychology
and of broad state policy.
The Idaho boy entering the S. A.
T. c. at his own university-our uni
versity-the state university becomes,
if he demonstrates capacity, an army
officer-an army officer with the
Idaho brand on him, as such con-
forming to the established procedure
he is assigned to an Idaho company,
in an Idaho regiment-mayhap to a
company composed largely of men
from MS own cOunCV-dnQ COgeLneT
this lad and his fellows from this
great state of ours go overseas to
fight together for the liberty which
they have learned to prize in the
mountains and plains of their own far
western state.
"And when the war is o'er," they
will return, most of them to their
own communities, with a bond unit

state for which they have fought. the

Let our boys then go where they

versity has been unouestioned, its re-
sponse to the war-call has and Will
continue to be worthy of the best ira
ditions of the state. The sons of the
have already distinguished
themselves by efficiency in training
camps and by gallantry in action
And the girls, too, there is no need
for them to go east or west to COM
plete their education, Idaho's women
as well as Idaho's men have every

tive, and a proper state pride alike
demand that the alma mater for Ida
hoans shall be Idaho.

LODGE MEMBERS HEAR
AN ABLE SERMON
WORSHIPED AT M. E. CHURCH
YESTERDAY

The Odd Fellows and the Rebekahs
worshiped at the Methodist Episcopal
church yesterday morning. Space
was reserved for them so that they
were seated in body. The pastor,
DR.. H. 0. Perry, in recognition of
their anniversary, preached sermon
appropriate to the OCCASION, using the
parable of the good samaritan as a
basis.
He said, cit is well to note that this
parable grew out of an effort to in
terpret the proper kind of love for
ones God and his neighbor All great
humanitarian schemes have grown out
OF close personal relationship To
God. If we would not become weary
in we'll doing we must have a divine
personal friend. On the Jericho road
there were all kinds of people. It
was main highway. The highway of
life is not different now You can
find all kinds Of people in any COM
including the robbers. He
who travels this highway must ex-
pect to meet everything disease,
hypocrisy, thieving, mur-
der, graft, sympathy. love, honesty,
truth, kindness, sacrifice
'The parable would indicate that
there are two sides to the road. This
side, and the other side.
eff you take the other side you
may live long and be sleek and well
fed, but it matters not if you are
centerarian if you did not notice any
thing as you went along.
eve live in deeds, not years;
In thoughts, not breach;
In feeling, not figures on the dial.
"We shall count time by heart
throbs,
He most lives who feels the noblest,
Acts the best, and he whose heart
Beats quickest, lives the longest.
eff you take the other side, you
may seem to have more pleasure, for
there is toll on this side. But toll is
a blessing to him who has learned
how. Labor is Gods good gift
"The other side may be the popular
side The priest and the Levite out
numbered the samaritan, but they did
not outweigh him.
''The other may seem to cost less |
For this side does take time and skill !

ACTIVITIES OF THE =
MOSCOW BOY SCOUTS

Moscow people will be interested
to know of the activities of the local
troop of Boy Scouts, which is part of
a national organization that has de-
veloped into an important factor in

that the local troop has more than
kept up its end in these activities.
The following facts regarding the ac-
tivities of them furnished the Star
Mirror by one of the active members:
every Tuesday at 7:30 p. M, in the

BATTLE SUMMARY

British resistance having stiffened
and held the Germans to small gains
in the past three days, the batt,c
west of ArmentiereS has reached the
stage of masscd local attacks to gam
a desired objective. The enemy cap
turd Bailleul. His attacks in that
region were made in great strength
along a line of about six miles from
south of Bailleul and Wulycrghem.
The English have fallen back to new
positions north of Baillcul.
There are indications that the
Germans will start a drive on the
southern side of the new salient in
an effort to reach Bethune. The
enemy artillery fire along a ten-milc
front from Robecq to Giyenchy is
increasing in intensity, and large
bodies of troops have been discov-
cred behind the German lines. The
British lines here is about one mile
north Of, and parallel to, the La
Bassee canal.
Givenchy held by the British, has
not been attacked since the repulse
OF strong enemy efforts last week.
Like the drive in Picardy, the Of
fensive in Artois seems to have worn
itself out in the first week. The
Germans have ceased thei rattacks
along the entire front and are CON
hning their efforts to an endeavor to
outiiank the Messines ridge. The
capture of Neuve Eglise, four miles
west Of Bailleul, was a strategic gain
for them.
Around Wulverghem, between
Neuve Eglise and the Messines
ridge, heavy fighting also is going
on. The British have Strengthened
out their line near Neuve Eglise by
retiring to the northwest. Berlin
claims to have gained the British
lines northeast of WuIverghem
which would bring them near Mes
sines on the eastern slope of the
ridge.
On the Picardy battle field the
German attacks on Hangard have
died down. Very violent artillery
fire continues there and the French
gunners have dispersed enemy in
fantry attempting to advance from
Demuin. On the remainder of the
French front there has been artil-
lery exchanges. The Germans fac
ing the Americans north and east OF
st. Mihiel have not renewed their
attacks.

English Labor Leaders Appeal to
Lloyd George to Grant Ireland
Home Rule on Basis Majority Re
port Recent Irish Convention.

London, April l6.-Dangcr of a
crisis in the British cabinet is be-
lieved to have been avoided through
a conference the labor leaders had
with Premier Lloyd George. They
urged the premier to grant self-gov-
ernment to Ireland on the basis OF
the majority report of the Irish CON
vention, and his reply is reported to
have been satisfactory. Meanwhile,
a home I1le bill is being drawn up,
and meetings of protest against CON
scrlption are being held throughout
Ireland.
Meetings TO protest against con
scription were held Monday in 100
parishes, all classes of the popula-
ton participating, says a dispatch
from Dublin to The Times. The
clergy took a leading part in all the
meetings. Rhe solutions of protest
are pouring in from public bodies.
Sim Fein clubs are very active.
"Unquestionably," the dispatch
adds, the present temper of the Ma
tionaliSt Ireland is very deplorablc
The country has lost all sense OF
proportion and has forgotten not
merely home rule but the war. 1t is
a country of contradictions, how
ever, for in Dublin and some other
towns, voluntary recruiting has been
remarkably good in the past few
days"
The committee which is in charge
of the drafting of an Irish home rule
bill, says The Times, includes J.
Austen Chamberlain, former secre-
tary for India. This, it adds, is a
fact which suggests that he already
is or is about to become a member
of the war cabinet
The same paper prints an appeal
from the Unionist members of par
lament urging the immediate intro
duction of measure of home rule
as generous as can be devised by
the light OF the recent discussion oi
the Irish convention"

american Red Cross to Relief
OfPeople of Holy Land; Big
Sum Of Money Appropriated

Washington, April l6.-A COM
mission OF about sixty members,
headed by John H. Finley, com
missioner of education Of New
York, has been sent to Palestine,
it was announced. today at Red
Cross headquarters, to study the
needs of the people of the Holy
Land and assist in their relief
The Red Cross has made COM
prehensive plans for the relief of the
people of the Holy Land, who for
centuries have suffered under turk
ish rule and who recently were res
cued through the British CONQUEST
Of Jerusalem.
For some time" said the an
nouncement, "The American Red
Cross has had under consideration
the best way to relieve conditions
in Palestine. All reports indicate
that they are peculiarly deplorablc.
Famine and disease have exacted
heavy tolls. Typhus and cholera
were and are epidemic. In no part
of the world into which the war
has been carried is the condition of
the civilian population worse than
in the land of the Bible.

London, April 16.-Ten German

in the Cattegat (between Sweden
and Denmark) the admiralty an
nounces. Their crews were saved by
British ships. There were no Brit
ish casualties.
The operations in the Cattegat,

by the commander-in-chief of the

Significant seems the form Of the
British announcement which comes
in a report from Vice Admiral Sir
David Beatty, commander-in-chicf
OF the grand feet. This would. ap-
pear to indicate that the grand fleet
is out, and possibly pressages most
important naval developments.
The operation was undertaken
yesterday for the purpose OF sweep
ing the Cattegat of mines, the report
shows, and may still be in progress
What further British effort, if any,
the operation implies, can not well
be forecast. 1t is indicative of in
tensihed British naval activities, at
any rate, if not preliminary to far
more important operations on the
part OF the British naval forces.

Proposals for commercial agree

Enormous Loss To
Enemy When Huge
Plane Factory Burns

Geneva, Switzerland, April 10
Enormous loss was caused by the
fire which broke out Saturday in the
Zeppelin works at Manzel, near
Friedrichshaien, and destroyed the
plant, which had been transformed
for the manufacture of airplanes of
the Gotha type, according to reliable
reports from Rorschach, on Lake
Constance.
Vast quantities OF raw materials
were burned and it is reported at
Constance that two large Zeppelins
and forty airplanes also were de
stroyed, comprising the whole fleet
then at the plant.
Many warehouses were reduced to
ashes, as was also the Offices of the
plant, situated close to the work
shops. The number of victims was
considerable, but as the military au-
thorltieS are preventing any one
from approaching the scene of the
fire the number OF killed and injured
cannot be learned at present.
The fire broke out at II o'clock
Saturday, and burned all day Sun.

ers, who were in Friedrichshafen
Sunday. The fire began with an eX-
plosion and there were frequent ex-
plosions throughout Saturday night
and the following day, apparently
due to the bursting of gasoline tanks
and hydrogen cylinders.
