FUNKE
VISITS HOME
Cottonwood Boy Enjoys
Army Life.

Sergeant Leo Funke of Camp
Lewis enjoyed a brief visit with
his relatives and friends here dur
ing the last week, arriving here
Sunday evening and remaining
until Tuesday morning. He also
visited Orofino a couple of days
before coming here, and since he
had only a Today furlough, he
was obliged to cut his home visit
short.
On Monday evening a large
number of his young friends and
former schoolmates honored Leo
with a surprise party at his home,
and most delightful evening
was spent playing games, music
and enjoying refreshments.
Sergeant Funke is loud in his
praise of the excellent manner in
which this great army camp
Camp Lewis) is conducted in
every department. He believes
the training that young men get
in an army camp is the best
schooling on earth that could be
obtained. In his opinion it
makes real men out of thousands
of young men who otherwise
would be utter failures. The Wig
orous exercise they are forced to
take does more good than all the
medicines in the world, and soon
converts weak, puny boys into
big husky athletes capable of TAX
ing their places among the strong
est of men. Leo knows this from
experience, as he never was as ro-
bust or strong as he thought he
ought to be until he went through
the training for army service.
Now he is the-very picture of ro-
bust health and vigorous man.
hood.
Last weeks Orofno Tribune
says:
Leo C. Funke surprised his
many friends in Orofino by drop
ping into town Wednesday even
ing, on a short furlough. Mr..
Funke is greatly pleased with
military life, and makes quite a
commanding appearance in the
uniform of one of Uncle Sans
fighting men. Mr.. Funke is still
stationed at Camp Lewis, and
says the Clearwater county boys
that are still in that camp are in
good health and getting along
nicely. He has one brother in
France, and Felix, who was man.
ager of the Goldstone store in
Orofino two years ago, expects tc
enlist at an early date. Mr.
Funke will remain here unit

board of directors of the Fidelity
State bank Tuesday, he still be

EXTRA SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE
Likely to be Called Soon by
the GOverOr.

1t is probable that the Four
teenth Idaho legislature will be
called into session extraordinary
to deal largely with war measures.
81 can say nothing definite at
this time with regard to an extra
session of the legislature" said
Governor Alexander. "It is true
that requests have been received
by me from all parts of the state
to call a session extraordinary to
deal with important war emergen-
cy issues that have come up since
the legislature held its regular ses-
sion."
At the present time Idaho is
without financial arrangements to
carry on the necessary prepara-
tions for war that it would desire.
In order to meet the expense of
these war aims it is necessary to
float certificates of indebtedness
which the banks have consented
to take up and hold until the leg
islature can redeem them.
While this is allowed by law in
an emergency it is not considered
to be the proper arrangement or
good business. Many believe
that a special legislative appro-
priation should be made to meet
the emergency.
The state has a council of de-
fense representative of all parts OF
Idaho. The council has been
very active since its reorganiza-
ton and has all but completed a
county cooperative plan in which
is ultimately to be included the Al
counties in the state.
To meet the necessary expenses
the council has to pay all indebt-
edness contracted by deficiency
warrants or war emergency
claims, which are first approved
by it's executive committee ano
then pass through the state board
of examiners receiving its approv-
al. Properly financed, the coun'
Gil could carry on an even more
vigorous campaign.
1t is believed that a census o.
all male inhabitants of the STATE
should be taken and this is one O.
the questions that a special ses
sion of the legislature would have
to deal with. The object of thiI
census is to determine the statui
of every man and to put him tC
the most effective use for the win
ming of the war. Authority shoulC
also be given some official or boarC
to enforce the useful employment
of the unemployed, it is claimed
A number of war emergency
measures are considered necessary
and if the legislature is called in
to special session they will be pre-
sented.

Much information about life on the
island of Guam is contained in a let
ter Fl. J. ISavanaugh of this city has
received from his nephew NJ. X Tur-
ner who has been in the navy three
years and is now stationed at Agana,
Guam. He has a pal, G. w. Daley
who hales from Pendleton and the two
men have had a hard time convinc-
ing some Texans that Oregon is a
greater wheat country than Texas.
They scored heavily on the Texans
when they showed a picture of an
eastern oregon combine and the
southerners Mid not know what COM
bine was like. Turner is in charge of
Tuberculosis sanitarium near Agana
and says the navy is having a hard
time getting the Guam natives to
drink goats milk. There is a general
order forbidding a sailor from calling
a native a niger or a monkey and it
is a court martial offense to lay hands
N a native to do the mbodily or moral
harm. As result the natives take
advantage of their immunity and the
only way a sailor can do is to Kick
one when he is not looking. 7.'

lor the President of the United States
for any emergency involving the above
lduties. The location of Pendleton in
the center of very valuable area of
production and its remoteness from
Portland, the headquarters of state
mobile troops, would make it extreme
ly desirable and valuable to the state
to have an efficient National Guard
unit at that place.
/ go National Guard organizations
would only be called into Federal SER
vice in an emergency which might be
Ideemed beyond control of the War
Department with the available mill
tary forces at hand. The War De-
partment has announced that it must
be made manifest to all concerned
that National Guard units recognized
during the present emergency may
not anticipate Federal service. The
Secretary of War definitely announc-
ed that National Guard troops organ
lied since August 5, 1917, cannot be
used to advantage as any part of the
forces of the United States in training
for overseas service and will not be
called or drafted for such service.
(4) The matter of supplies, equip
ment. arms and uniforms is very diff
.ficult at the present time, and the
War Department advises that it should
be expected that these new organiza-
tions will probably have to wait and
do the best they can for some time
until surplus has been accumulated
above the demand of troops already
overseas and OF new organizations
forming at home. To alleviate the
difficult position in which National
Guard troops would be placed on ac-
count of the present inability of the
government to supply equipment. the
governor has Just authorized the pur-
chase by the state Of n supply of arms,
from which, it is believed, all National
Guard organizations will be able to be
armed. No definite assurance can be |
given at this time. however, as to the !
time when uniforms will be provided. |
The interest OF the state in maintain |
ing National Guard forces will, of |
course, serve 10 expedite the issuance I
of al, necessary equipment and sup |
plies to such organizations.

GERMAN ARMY GROWS
Mutinous Spirit and Des-
pondency Seething
Among Troops.

| LONDON. Sept. 11.-Demoraliza-
tion of the German population and
widespread and growing dissatisfac-
tion i'm the German army, accompan-
| led by mutiny and desertions, are de-
scribed in a dispatch to the Daily
telegraph from its Rotterdam corre-
spondent. The correspondent says
that information reaching him is so
sensational as to inspire skepticism,
but declares that he has received cor
rohoration from authoritative sources
which establishes the authenticity of
the information.
He asserts that the German army
is filled with dependency and seeth.
ing with mutinous spirit, and that
alarming outbreaks have occIrred in
several units, principally Bavarian
and Silesian. One incident of the
Arras front terminated in whole
Bavarian division being disarmed and
transported to Bavaria, where it was
"iaced in a prison camp, and the mu,
tiny of one of the Silesian regiments
resulted in nearly a hundred of its
men being executed.
huge number of desertions are
occurring the correspondent says,
and it is estimated that there are
more than 10000 deserters IN Berlin
alone. Large numbers are scattered
throughout the country.
Disobedience and defiance of Off.
GERS is common at the front, accord
ing to the correspondents information
and similar spirit is shown in the
factories. where the workers
deliberately are slowing up.
