Is said positively that transportation
requirements Of the army are being

immediate situation as to ships is DE-
scribed as satisfactory.
In view of this assurance that the
United States will be able to maintain
its place as a fighting unit on the bat
tie front, reports from the western
front are being scanned more eagerly
by officers here for the first signs Of
the 1918 campaign. 1t is felt strongly
that the opening Of major operations
in what President Wilson has predict
ed will prove the decisive year Of the
war viii not be much longer delayed
Mud has been the determining factor
Of many previous western front op-
erations. So long as the ground is
soft with the winter rains 1t is impos-
sible to move forward great guns and
necessary transport trains to support
an advancing line. Even in Flanders,
however, indications this year are that
the ground will harden early, permit

In previous years April has seen Of

the allies. For that reason many Of

and minor assaults before the middle
Of next month, which will show in
themselves that the ground Is being
mapped, information obtained and To-
cal strategic advantages established
by one side or the other in preparation
for the great effort.
To others it appears probable that
no important offensive will be under
taken before May /. They found that
view on reports that the French Of
fensive in 1916, started in April,
proved to be at least two weeks too
early. The guns and transport could
not be brought forward to consoli-
date all the ground the troops were
able to wrest from German control.

The Greatest Burglary.
Idaho Daily Statesman)

Stories of the wealth of the
potentates of long ago were pro-
badly greatly exaggerated, and
careful historians are practically
unanimous in declaring that Ger
many recently committed not only
the greatest burglary of modern
times, but burglary far greater
than any ever perpetrated by the
ruthless conquerers of centuries
ago.
Belgium, of course, was the
victim. Between August and No
vember, 1914, as is we'll known,
Germany levied fines of 200, 600, :
900 francs upon Belgian cities and
towns. In November, 1918,
Belgium was ordered to pay 49,
900, 900 francs tribute every month
In November. 1916, this exaction
was increased to so, 900, 600 francs
month, and in May of 1917 it
was increased to 90, 900, 900.
But even these measures did
not satisfy German cupidity, so
the kaiser's military governor
"seized" 43o, 900, 900 marks in
German bills held by the Societe
Generate de Belgigue and the
Banque Rationale, the two largest
banks in Belgium. When one of
the directors of the Societe Gener-
ale refused to divulge a part of the
combination of the vaults known
to no one but himself the German
threatened to blow the vaults open
with high explosives, and then the
director yielded.
A German mark is worth practi-
callY ID cents in American money,
or was worth that at pre-war ex-
change. The German theft from
the Belgian banks was therefore
the equivalent of $1o3, 200, 900.
The German kaiser is certainly
the greatest cracksman the world
has ever known.
The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1918-10-04

THE kaiser and his whole Hun
horde stand convicted of so many
crimes against humanity and the
liberty of nations that they have
long since placed themselves out
side of all right to kindly consider
alton from true American citizens
and all other decent people. The
record of their fendish barbarities
committed by wholesale as mill
tary policy has been sufficiently
authenticated from every source,
including official German letters
and orders, to convince every fair,
unprejudiced mind. A nation so
stepped in infamy, led by rulers so
INSCRIPTIONS and debased, cannot
be dealt with by negotiation. The
menace and brutality of its power
can only be removed when that
power is beaten to the dust by
force of arms. The entente allies
must continue to prosecute the war
until Germany surrenders as Bull
garia has done. Any other kind
of peace with such a nation and
such rulers would mean that all
the blood and treasure spent in
four years of strife to save world
freedom will have been spent in
vain.

New Sugar Regulation.

The following sugar regulation T."
dealers and retailers from II. +. Bick-
nell, federal food administrator for
Idaho, was received Tuesday by G. W.
Culp, local deputy. from Thos. Neill,
county food administrator:
The new sugar regulation become
effective October l, 1918.
All retailers are permitted to sell
sugar to consumers for family use in
quantities not to exceed thirty day
supply at the rate of two pounds per
person per month.
This means family OF five may
purchase ten pounds OF sugar at one
time but this amount must last them
one month.
Dealers must in every Instance
continue to keep record of each sale,
which record must be open for in
spection at all times by the proper
authorities.
The maximum margin allowed
| dealers is fixed by the U. S. Food
| Administration at one cent per pound
above cost at their place OF business.
Where special permits are issued by
the dealer for canning purposes, a
complete list of these permits and the
amount must be mailed to me every
| Saturday. Where these permits are
| issued by a deputy administrator for
| any one locality. he must mail me
| every Saturday complete list OF all
permits issued and the amounts.
These are required as there has
been no allotment made for the
month Of October for canning pur-
,, poses and it is necessary for me to
make application weekly for the re-
Quirements of the county.
Special canning permits may be
issued in amounts not to exceed %
pounds at one time to customers who
require additional sugar for saving
fruit in their possession if in the
judgment Of the person issuing the
pciulO GulS eAOId dIlOWduC0 VI sugar
is necessary.
t The sale of all sugar should be re-
fused to any persons who are hoard
.. ing or wasting sugar as there is only
enough to 90 around and we must
divide it equally.
Kindly give these matters publicity
that all may understand and do their
share 10 enforcing them.

and Health.
Lesson Text: Mark 5:2143.
Golden Text: Himself took our
inf1rmities; and bare our diseases. -
Matthew S:17.
l. "My Little Daughter"
: This is one OF the most fascinating
stories of the New Testament. The
little daughter of Jairus, one Of the
rulers of the synagogue, was at the
point of death. The ruler leaves his
business and comes to Jesus for help.
He may not have believed everything
which Jesus taught, but he evidently
had confidence in what Jesus was
able to do.
Undoubtedly a man will do any
thing for the physical welfare Of his
child. He would not let his child
suffer If he could help it. He would
pay any price to any doctor to make
the child we'll.
Why is it that men will be so in
different to the spiritual welfare of
their children? To meet spiritual
needs costs more than to meet phys
ical needs. 1t makes a greater de-
mand upon the man himself. 1t in
wolves a right example and clear
thinking and steady, faithful living
day by day. In all Of this we need
our Lords help. He is wise man
who comes to Christ for guidance and
strength in helping his children.
ii. 81 Don't Believe"
We used to hear great deal from
O certain class of men who said: II
don't believe in foreign missions"
We hear less from them today. In
the one point Of medical missions
alone, all the criticisms of the un-
believers are overthrown. Countless
thousands of hospitals and dispen-
saries are being operated in foreign
lands today. where no such ministry
had ever been known. It is most
practical fulfillment of Christ's chal-
lenging test: II was sick and ye
visited me-" So long as they are still
using .bamboo pith, women's toenails
and bedbugs, ground to powder and
sprinkled in the throat" to check
epidemics of diphtheria in China there
is need of medical missions. Only
the man who is blind and wilfully
narrow can fail to see and understand
this work of the Christian church,
Yet the next time an Offering is taken
for missions he will again sit back in
his seat and sneer and crfticise and
put in one cent! Probably he would
use half-cent If there were any in
coinage
