HINDENBURG'S FAMOUS
LINE OF DEFENSE

The celebrated Hindenburg line, OF
Siegfried line, barring the allies road
to Berlin, has been compared by the
German leaders to the great wall OF
China. Until the British broke it in the
spring of 1917 they believed it impreg
nable to assault as was once the Chinese
wall, and regarded it as the eighth
wonder of the world.
The Hindenburg line, as generally de-
fined, is about go miles long, running in
a general north and south direction
across the Picardy plains in France It's
northern extremity was guarded by the
heavily fortified bastion of Vimy Ridge
and by the mining city of Lens, whose
underground corridors and chambers
long have barred the British. The
southern end of the Hindenburg line
proper is in the vicinity of La Fere or
Laon. That end is protected in part by
the forest of St. Gobain and the fortifi-
cations around Laon
Between Virny Ridge on the north and
La Fere on the south the line passes
west of Cambria and ST. Quentin SO as
to protect those two important indus
trial and railway centers which are
routes for bringing up supplies for the
German army.
Some war correspondents describe the
German line as continuing southeast
ward from La Fere to the Aisne river
and Rheims, following the line of the

INTENSIVE TRAINING
At CAMP LEWIS

CAMP LEWIS, Sept. 18.-Intensive
training of the stiffest character for
the men of the 18th division became
effective today with the publication
of orders by Brigadier General Frank
B. Watson, setting forth in minute
detail what plans are to be carried
out.
The men already have been train
ing at practically top speed, but the
new orders solve many difficulties in
administrative affairs through which
some companies have lost time. The
orders also call for a report on each
regiment being made daily to General
Watson showing exactly the progress.
The order is another indication
among many which recently have
been published that this division is
to see active service as soon as the
men can be whipped into shape.
A bulletin issued today disclosed
there will be no great campaign made
among soldiers for Liberty loan sub
scriptions for the fourth issue. Men
and officers will be given every ops
portunity to purchase bonds they
desire to do so, but there Will be no
among. the soldiers.

TO COMPLETE ROAD
| TO LEWISTON HILL

The three-mi1e stretch of unimproved
road between the Lewiston hill road and
the Uniontown macadam will be inn
proved next year, thus completing the
highway, according to State Highway
Commissioner James Allen, of Washing
ton, who, with Harold Doo1ittle, district
engineer for the highway department,
was in Pullman today, says dispatch
from that city. The highway officials
were returning from an inspection of
the unimproved gap, and state that the
reports that the government will not
assist in financing the promised improve
ment are erroneous.
Five thousand dollars still remains
from the last appropriation, according
to Commissioner Allen, while the county
has appropriated, by resolution, $4,000
toward the work and like amount is
promised by the federal government
The three-mile stretch will require a
considerable amount of concrete work.
thus adding materially to the cost of the
improvement. Three concrete bridges,
80, 20 and 18 feet, will be required, as
well as a 12-foot concrete culvert. The
cost of the improvement is estimated at
8000

GOVERNMENT NEED IS MEN Of
MATURE AGE FOR OFFICERS

| One of the greatest needs of the
| government just now in connection
with the war, is more men of ma
ture age for officers. The students
army training corps offers the med
ium, however, through which an un-
| limited number of officers can be
supplied. Definite information has
| been received by the authorities at
the University of Idaho, that all reg
| istrants between the ages Of 18 and
45 years, excepting general service
men who are in class l and who reg
istered previous to September 12, are
eligible to enroll in the S. A. T. C.
at the university, providing they can
meet the entrance requirement for
the collegiate section. The require
ments are graduation from standard
four-year high school course, or its
equivalent.
This opens the best door for many
mature men to an officers commits
sion. The only other way is to take
chances of being selected from among
the men in the army cantonment.
Many men in the state have ex-
pressed an eagerness to know if they
were eligible to enter the S. A. T. G.
at the university, and it is believed
that Immediately upon the definite
information being given out, a con-
siderable number will signify their
intention of enrolling.
There is no doubt that at least 900
men will be in training here during
the coming school year. Men from all
parts of the state are expressing an
eagerness to have their boys trained
for army service in their own state
institution, and the fact that arrange
ments have so promptly been made
for the state to provide the facilities
is source of qualification to the
people generally.
There has also been a desire ex-
pressed by many to know if boys not
yet 18 years of age may enter the
students army training corps. Defi-
mite information has been received
at the university that they may not
enter as members of the S. A. T. C.
but that they may receive military
instruction at the university if prac-
ticable. No ineligible student, how
ever, may be enrolled, uniformed or
paid.
Application cards from many such
students, while they do not immedi-
ately receive the benefits of housing,
subsistence and pay, receive the ben
efits of the university training and
of military drill, and when they reach
the proper age and are inducted, they
are that much further advanced in
their college work.
Those entering the S. A. T. c. will
be given the physical examination by
medical officers detailed to the uni
verslty after the arrival of students.

SLACKERS BETWEEN AGES
OF 18 AND As

| WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-Com-
plete returns from last Thursdays
registration in 81 states and the Dis
trlct of Columbia, showing an enroll
ment og 1861 ,252 men as against the
official estimate of 7,623,35 led Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder to an
nounce tonight that it is very plain
that practically every living man of
the new registration ages came for
ward.
"There is no shortage between the
number of men that exist, alive and
the number that registered" said
General Crowder ''This is where we
have scored a national triumph.
"If registration day means anything
it means that this nation is unani-
mously in the war to win-and to win
1T completely, decisively and forever"
General Crowder pointed out that
before the registration his office esti-
mated on the basis Of figures fur
nished by actuarial and census experts
that the registration would total 12-
778,758 and that the returns so far
received indicated that the actual
registration would be at least 1881
900.
Army be 100000 by July.
/ An army of 100000 by next July,
after all deductions have been made
for casualties and reflections, is what
the enlarged American military pro-
gram calls for, General March ex-
planned this to the house appropria-
tions committee today, in discussing
the new seven billion dollar army esti-
mates.
There are now about 100000 men
under arms, General March said, and
the plan is to call 2,7OO,OOO of the
new draft registrants to the colors
between now and July.

j. S. FOOD PACTS
SIGNED BY NEUTRALS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18-(By the
Associated Press. )--Danish-A American
commercial and shipping agreements,
which have been the subject of me-
gotiations between the war trade
board and the special Danish mission
in Washington, were completed to-
night and signed. Similar agreements
have been made with all European
neutrals except Holland.
The agreements, which follow close
ly those made with Norway and Swe-
den, assure to Denmark a supply of
foodstuffs, metals, machinery, tex
tiles, nonedible animal and vegetable
products, chemicals, drugs and other
commodities required for it's needs in
an aggregate quantity of well over
$4,000 tons annually.
Pursuant to the agreement a num-
Der of vessels sufficient to carry the
commodities to Denmark will be
placed at the disposal of Denmark
out of the Danish tonnage, which at
present is employed in overseas
trade. The remainedr of the Danish
tonnage in the trade will remain at
the disposal of the United States and
its associate powers.
No articles imported into Denmark
under the provisions of the agree
ment are to be directly or indirectly
exported from Denmark to the CEN
tral powers nor to any neutral coun-
try where such expectation will di-
rectly or indirectly serve to release
for export to Germany or her allies
any article or commodity of whatever
origin, nor shall commodities which
the United States or it's associates
in the war furnish Denmark be used
IN the production of any commodity
to be exported to the central powers.
