NOT FEEDING GERMANY
FREE OF CHARGE.

Considerable feeling has been man
ifested in the United States regarding
the proposition to furnish food to
Germany to keep her people from
starving. 1t is not the intention
of the United States government to
give them this food but merely to
give them permission to buy 1t and
to make arrangements so that 1t can
be forwarded across the sea and
into Germany. Even this will only
be permitted under assurance that
the food VII be properly distributed
among the common people and that
1t will not be used to maintain any
military powers.
Germany has forfeited it's right to
charity and sympathy, but because
we are humane nation we do not
deny them tine right to purchase our
food If they have the money.
The terms of the Armistice are
being carried out in the main, altho
there have been exceptional cases
where the Germsn soldiers have con-
tinued to loot and violence. This
is not surrisin gas they have been
stepped in those things all their
lives and especially during the past
four years. Indeed 1t would be sur
prising II they did not overstep or
disregard their orders In some cases
when there was q chance for loot or
chance to exercise their cruelty.
The American army Of occupation
following up tho retiring Huns re-
port vast supplies Of munitions and
other war materials left just as it
was when the firing ceased.
The long list of property named
in the Armistice to be surrendered
by Germany included the railroad
equipment strung between Belgium
and France and the stribute levied
upon Belgian and French cities dur
ing the period Of occupation. The
Germans, witch characteristic cheek,
set up the plea that they could not
spare their locomotives and railroad
cars, but General Foch knew what
he was about and increased the de-
mand three-fold on the number OF
cars to be surrendered.
The terms of the Armistice were
sufficiently drastic to give great sat
isfaction to the alliees and 1t is said
the German delegates sobbed as they
heard the different paragraphs read.
They also shed tears when they came
back to General Foch to sign. Those
were good sobs and good tears and a
large percentage of the people of
Germany would be benefited by she'd
ding copious tears over the things
they have done and the things they
have yet to- do.

ANALYSIS OF FIFTY SPRINGS

The analysis of the water of Fifty
Springs as received from the chemist
on Tuesday indicated that it is one
half per cent purer than. the present
water supply at Blackfoot, but 1t con-
.tains enough lime and salts to coat
the teakettles and choke up the boiler
tubes. 1t is hard water, but good
to drink, says the chemist.
There does not seem to be an adj
vantage in the spring water except
ing the escape from constant pump
ing If it were piped into town, and
the bounteous supply would enable
everybody to sprinkle lawns at their
pleasure. Further tests will be
made of the waters from each sep
arate spring to see if there is any diff
ference in them.

WILSON TO ATTEND
/. PEACE CONFERENCE
PRESIDENT WILL HEAD THE
AMERICAN DELEGATION TO THE
VERSAILLES CONFERENCE.
Presence Of Chief Executive In France
Regarded as Necessary to obviate.
Manifest Disadvantages Of
Discussion BY Cable.

Washington. - President Woodrow
Wilson will attend the opening ses.
sions of the peace conference. This
was announced November is. He will
go Immediately after the converting of
the regular session of congress on De-
cember 2.
This official statement was issued
Monday night at the White House.
"The president expects to sail for
France Immediately. after the opening
OF the regular session of congress, for
the purpose Of taking pant in the dis
cussiOn and settlement of the main
features Of the treaty of peace. 1t is
not likely that 1t will be possible for
him to remain throughout the sessions
Of the formal peace conference, but his
presence at the outset is necessary In
order to Obviate the manifest disad-
vantages Of discussion by cable in de-
termining the greater outlines of the
final treaty, about which he must
necessarily be consulted. He viii, of
course. be accompanied by delegates
who will sit as the Representatives Of
the United States throughout the, con-
ference.
"The names of the delegates will be
presently announced" III
How long the president will remain
abroad he himself probably can not
say now. The time for the converting
of the peace conference has not yet
been Announced. but the general belief
here is that 1t can not be assembled
before late in December at the earliest.
If such proves the case, the president
will be absent from the country for at
least month and probably longer.
In visiting Europe the president Will
establish two precedents. He will be
the first chief executive of the United
Statets to participate in peace con-
ference for the settling of A issues
growing out of a war in which this
country participated, and likewise he
will be the first president to leave
North America during his term Of Of
fee. NJ.
In reaching his decision to attend
the peace conference, President Will
son is understood to have been largely
influenced by representations from
Premiers Lloyd George of Great Brit
ain and Clemenceau Of France and
other statesmen Of the entente coun-
tries. at a' D.

THE CITY ELECTION
AND ITS LESSON.

The people of Blackfoot showed
in the recent election that they were
the victims of two kinds of diseases,
both of which have become chronic.
We are unable to say when the first
one starts, which we shall call ru-
mOritis, but the second one, which
we shall call ennuitis seems to have
spread rapidly during the period
when the water question was under
discussion.
People have been in the habit of
speaking of the present water sys-
tenn as an old system and as junk,
a streak of rust, ect. All Of these
expressions were used in the extreme
sense until even those who used the
expression figuratively got so they
took themselves seriously and be-
lieved it was a WORKOUT bunch of
junk. People who listened to them
and took their expressions at full
value became indignant at the thot
Of being invited to buy bunch of
junk. With these thoughts in mind
and one publication in town persist
emily hammering at the idea that 1t
was an obsolete and WORKOUT sys-
tenn and another newspaper publish
ing all the facts it could get for and
against it, merely leaving people to
reach their own conclusions, the peo-
pie assumed that the system was of
no account OF that in would not be
profitable to operate under city man
agement and either stayed away from
the polls or voted against the pur-
chase.
tut OF nearly one thousand per-
sons entitled to vote at the ordinary
city election only 261 voted at this
time. None but tax payers were en-
titled to vote, but there must have
