REV. WILTSIE MARTIN PUTS
GERMAN KULTUR UNDER
HISTORY'S LIMELIGHT
MINISTER SPEAKS OUT
CALLS KAISER "THE ARCH
MURDERER OF ALL TIME"
STRONG TERMS USED

Rev. Martin came to Moscow with
the reputation of being one of the
most eloquent speakers of the north
west. His address at the Methodist
church Monday night fully sustained
that honor.
For almost two hours he held the
close thought of his audience. He
reviewed in a lucid manner the es-
tablishment of American government
and pointed out its distinguishing
characteristics. Also briefly gave
the common misconception of THE
Imperial government of Germany.
That opinion being that it was a
constitutional monarchy when in fact
it was not, the sole power resting in
the person of the emperor. The two
forms Of government were carefully
contrasted and the ultimate purpose
and end of each pointed out.
The fact that Prussianism had been
for a world conquest for the
past century was shown. That this
'Jcluded the minutest de-
tail, that all forms Of life's activities
in the empire were bent and trained
toward one end. That in this process
the greatest, the finest, the bes3
equipped fighting machine the world
has ever seen was created and fully
trained. That through the espionage
system, the most wide spread and the
closest organized, the German propa-
ganda was planted in every land and
cline. The seeds of dissension and
were inculcated among all
people. Then when the world was
east prepared, the signal was given,
and the blow fell and the war of con-
quest was on. For generations the
nilitarist of Germany had been look
ng forward to that day. For years
he track that was always under
stood when two officers drank to- !
yether, and clinked their stines, ''to
,he day." What day? The day when
he Empire would begin the conquest
If the world.
Mr.. Martin with a few brief SEN
,ences made clear that not nation
vas ready for the conflict, indeed ex-
oecting it. Each Of the Allies has
oeen holding back the enemy with
me hand and preparing with the
,ther.
It is regrettable that every citizen
n the county did not hear the adj
lress Of which this is poor attempt |

Incidents of the war were related.

EVIDENCE IS
ALL TAKEN IN

ARGUMENTS ARE NOW BEING
MADE AND CASE MAY GO
TO JURY TONIGHT
DEFENDANTS TESTIFIED
DEFENDANTS TAKE STAND AND
ADMIT THEY ARE 1. w. w.
l. AND PROUD OF 1T"

The case of the state VS.. H. E
Herd, T. E. Hawkins and Charles
Clifford, l. w. w. charged with
criminal syndicalism will probably
go to the jury tonight. The taking
of evidence was completed this af-
ternoon and arguments began. The
three defendants took the stand and
admitted they are members of the I.
W. w. and two of them said they
are proud of it.
The state had made out strong
case against the defendants. It had
shown that the Industrial Workers
Of the World advocate sabotage and
give instructions as to how it can
be carried on. 1t had shown that the
organizations text books say "The
question of right and wrong does
not concern US" and it had shown
that the defendants are members of
the order and that H. E. Herd, who
is evidently leader in the move
ment, had been delegate from Spo-
kane headquarters to different points
in Latah county and in other por-
tions of Idaho and that after the de-
PENDANTS were in the county Jail they
had correspondence with James Row.
an, who called strike of all labor
ers in the northwest for August 20,
1917, and urged laborers to "let the
crops rot in the field" and who is
now in the Jail at Chicago awaiting
trial with Ill others on a federal
charge.
The defense tried to prove that
the I. w. W. is not criminal or
ganization and does not fight the
farmers interests, in spite of the
demand Of Rowan that they "let the
crops rot in the field and the claim
was made that the prosecution of
the I. W. W. is an act of the lumber
interests to fight labor and get
wages lowered. Little progress was
made in these efforts by the defense
for much of the evidenced offered was
ruled out on objections made by the
state and upheld by the court.
Each side has two hours in which
to argue the case and it may be that
a night session will be held. In that
case the jury will have the case in
their hands before retiring. Otherwise
it will go to the jury tomorrow fore
noon.

JULIAETTA IS LOYAL IN

JULIAETTA.-Alm $4,000 was
subscribed in Juliaetta on the open
ing day of the third Liberty Loan
drive. Juliaetta expects to do her
part toward having the county reach
her quota of $475,OO0 during the first
ten days of the drive.
Although 10 degrees of frost was
recorded here during our recent cold
snap, it seems that the Juliaetta
cherry crop escaped damage entirely
owing to the backwardness of the
buds and the dryness of the atmos-
phere at the time.

sizing this particular service to the Allies by consigning the great prepon- derance of her wheat export to those nations which are associated with her in the war.
 Not only has there been an increase in exports to the Allies but there has been a marked increase of exports to France and Italy. Before the war Se2t of the total calories exported each year went to the United Kingdom, while France and Italy received about eight and seven per cent respectively. Since the bgienning of the war, the share sent to the United Kingdom has fallen to 573e, while France and Italy are receiving 269e and 163o re- spectively For the United Kigdom, the number of men supplied with complete rations since the war is roughly twice the number supplied be- fore the war began. For France how ever, we export enough to provide Italy we are completely rationing over eight times as many men as before the war.-Bulletin No. 108.

Order in Council. The law applies to all between the ages of 16 and 60, and heavy penalties are imposed against offenders.
 Here in the States we have diff erent kind of "loafer" war bread loafer. With our Wheat ration re- duced to 1 1-2 pounds per person per week, .'loafer" takes his pound loaf of bread and has 3-4 pounds left for other wheat products. The wheat four substitutes in the bread reduce the amount of wheat, hence 3-4 pound extra instead of 1-2.
 In order to keep to an average con- sumption of l 1-2 pounds per capita it would be necessary for some of us to. cut down below that. Therefore we ought to try to round up the loaf CTS" and see if they cannot be induc- ed to join the total abstainers." For every "loafer" who is converted into total abstainer, a vital saving of wheat is accomplished.
 Street loafers and wheat loafers must disappear.

Wheat has emerged out of the

Wheat has emerged out Of the strategy of war as the most important food It is interesting to notice that cur average yearly export of wheat to the Allies has increased 2359o since the beginning of the war and our ex- port of wheat flour has increased 205 c. We sent on the yearly average during the first three and two-thirds of the war more wheat and wheat flour each year than we sent in the entire three years before the begin ming Of the war. While the total ex- ports of wheat in the three year pre- var period were 95,000,000 bushels, and of wheat flour were 7.600,OOO bar rels, the yearly average export since July l, 1914 has been 1O6,000,000 bus heis of wheat and nearly S,O00,000 bar re,s of wheat four.
 Expressing these increases in terms of nutritive units only gives them further emphasis. In terms of calories our yearly exports to the AL lies have increasd over 300Ro. Before the war cur food exports to the three Allies were sufficient to ration 6,000,- 900 men per year. with an excess of protein and fat. Since the war be- gan, our food exports to these coun- tries would supply completely 22,000- 900 men per year. With very large excess Of protein and a smaller ex- cess of fats. Since the war began we have exported relatively much larg- CT proportion of carbohydrate than during the pre-war years.
 Let us now look at the change in proportion between the total exports of food commodities and the exports to the Western Allies. Before the war about 35@o of our wheat exports went to the three principal Allies. During the last nine months we have sent S19o of our wheat exports to these countries; and for the entire period since the beginning of the war we have directed over 6OTo of our wheat exports to them. During the three year pre-war period we sent 43,00O,0 ,00O bushels to the Western Allies and 7S,- OOO,00O bushels to other countries. For the period after the beginning of the war the average yearly export to the Western Allies increased to 141,- 100000 bushels. while the export to other countries increased only to 94,- 00O,OO bushels. Thus, while the ex- port of wheat to countries other than the Allies increased only about 208o the export of wheat to the Western Allies increased over 200%o. And the United States is even further empha-

Ketchikan, Alaska,

July 19, 1913 Editor, rogressive-Miner:-
 In the early days of Kentucky there were many deadly feuds between fam lilies.
 Let us assume that a Kentuckian engaged to work for farmer. As a hired man if you please. AS such he would be welcomed at the home of his employer and treated with all kind ness as though he were member of the family.
 Also let Us assume that a quarrel arose with another family entailing bl0odshed-and for the sake of apt illustration, that the hired mans en- ployer was unjustly attacked.
 Do you suppose that this hired man would have gone back on his friends on the plea that they were no kin to him and it was not his fight?
 Not on your life. The Kentucky code would have called on him to wade right in as if his own family had been attacked. And he would have been considered a renegade and a pol trcon to have done otherwise.
 i-riyate Rasmus B. Huse and others of his ilk could with profit apply the principles of the Kentuckian's code to their political status.

WOMEN WORKERS

An interesting study has been made by the United States public health service in cooperation with the Wis consin industrial commission on fla tigue among women workers. The re- suits apply with almost equal force to men workers.
 This investigation has been under taken to determine what are the proper hours of work to develop the greatest productive efficiency with the least fatigue. It has been found that as a general thing women who work ed more than eight hours day dropt in their efficiency so much that eight hours was found to be the period of greatest results. Longer hours brot on nervousness, which in turn caused the worker to stop work more ire quently, to lose interest and divert at tention. As tiredness wore on the work slowed down.
 Some years ago interesting experi' ments were tried by scientists con- nected with one of the country's larg- est industries. Recording instru- ments were attached to treadmill ma chimes and volunteer workers of strong physique were put at work on the treads. It was found that up to eight hours they developed good re- suits, but after that period the results woro down and down until over a per iod of twelve hours there was no more accomplished than in eight.

SERVICE THE U. s. HAS PERFORMED SHIPPING
 FOOD TO THE ALLIES

The United States Food Administra- ton presents some interesting figures relative to the service the United States has performed in shipping food to the Allies. In order to show the increase of food exportation since the war began a comparison has been made between the total exports to the Western Allies of the more important food materials for the three years i'm ned;ately preceding the war and the exports to the same nations for the three and two-thirds years since the beginning Of the war. The periods compared are July 1911, to July, 1914, and July 1914, to March, 1918.
 Studying these figures, some really remarkable results are revealed. How much America has helped the Allies ill food is shown in two ways:
 First:
 By the enormous increase in her to- ;al exports of food materials.
 ny lhC HUI CstSC Ol tAC plOPOl IlOu of food commodities sent to the Allies as compared with the amount sent to other countries.
 On the side of increase in total ship ments, some of the figures almost pass belief. Between the two periods in the food commodities shipped to the Allies show an annual increase of 11,OOO, 00,OOO,OOO pounds. The total average exports for the three pre-war years was less than 5,00O.O00, ,000 pounds. We have therefore during the last four years increased by 2309o our shipments of food to the Western Allies as compared with the three pre- war years.
 Studying certain commodities for which there has been abnormal de- mand in the warning countries we find almost fantastic increases. Thus the increase in the yearly rate of export of condensed milk is from 100000 pounds before the war to 100000, ,000 pounds since the war began. Here there is an increase of nearly 30,00O ft. Exports of driea, smoked and cured fish increased 18,OO09t: fresh fish exports grew over 10,00OTo; fresh beef nearly 6,0O0Rs; rice, 2,33S%, and several other commodities showed relative increases of between 1,0OOGc and 2,000Gc.
