IDAHO CALLS FOR SH|PYARD MEN

men making up an army of 100000 to
enter the shipyards and build a much
greater number of bottoms in the flu
ture than this country has in the past,
should be needed, for upon the build
ing of these ships depends as much
the winning of the war against Ger
many and Austria as the sending of
great army across to Europe. In fact
it is held by many authorities to be
even more so. Without ships this
country can neither send the men or
the supplies they must have after they
arrive there Submarines, those saw
ages of the ocean that know no law,
are taking ships daily. Construction
of a greater number of these vessels
means absolute defeat of the subma
rine. Every rivet driven into ship
for this country is nail in the sub
marine coffin.
The government has placed Idaho's
quota for shipyard volunteers at 900.
o. G. F. Markhus, director for this
state, working in cooperation with
the state council of defense, is en-
deavoring to secure this quota. Idaho
has never failed in going over the top
on war demand. 1t will not fail in
the present emergency, the director
and the state council believe. 1t is
expected that every man who can
possibly work in the yards will offer
his services by enrolling and then hold
himself in readiness for the govern
ment's CALL 1t will come, but no man
who enrolls should quit his present

spring of 1916, when he was wounded,

has always been considered by experts
as the aviator possessing the best
technique in the service.
Soulier, who is only twenty years
old, went to Flanders in May last with
a crack French escadrille. He was fix

was wounded, he had destroyed seven
enemy machines. The Morane which
he will demonstrate has been tried out
by Raoul Givas Lufberry, the Ameri-

its performance. 1t has shattered all
speed and climbing records, but can
only be driven by the most skilled
pilots.

By ALlSSA FRANC

TNEW of US realize that during
~ the recent epidemic of influenza
the boys of our armies were
taken off the boats and brought into
the city on stretchers by the hundreds,
to die, or recover if they were able
to overcome in their grim struggle with
death. Most of them had been taken
i'll in midocean, and by the time they got
to shore they generally had pneumonia.
The majority were taken to the Will
lard Parker Hospital for contagious dis
eases, where there were two thousand
of these cases at time throughout the
duration of the epidemic. The heroism
displayed by the women on the staff,
aided by the Home Defence nurses who
gallantly stepped into the breach, was in
deed the heroism of war-a heroism
that lived silently on day after day with
out the fanfare of trumpets, without
even the feminine comfort of a becom-
ing uniform; for what could be more
hdeous than the rough-dry, i'll fitting
garb which is donned in hospital for
contagious diseases?
