RESIGNATION OF
BRYAN REGRETTED
COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION
GIVES UP GUARDIANSHIP
OF DEFENSE COUNCIL

The following statement sent out
by the state council of defense in
regard to the resignation Of DR.. E. A.
Bryan, as chairman of that body, will
| be Of interest in Moscow, where DR..
! Bryan is so we'll and favorably known.
The statement follows:
The Official Bulletin regrets to an
nounce the resignation of DR.. E. A.
Bryan as chairman of the state coun-
Gil of defense. DR.. Bryan is com
missioner of education of Idaho.
Since the reorganization of the state
council he has been its chairman and
active head. The duties of the two
offices have multiplied and DR.. Bryan
felt that as commissioner of educa-
ton his entire time and attention
should be devoted to the duties of
that office. He was director of state
council affairs and the work carried
on required a great deal of personal
attention. DR.. Bryan was, therefore,
doing double duty.
Prior to the fourth liberty loan
campaign DR.. Bryan desired to step
aside but was prevailed upon to re-
main in charge of affairs of the coun-
ell while the drive was in progress.
Governor Alexander urged him to do
so and the executive committee of
the state council made similar re
quest. DR. Bryan consented to do
this and under his direction the state
and county councils gave valuable aid
to the loan drive.
Speaking of the action taken by
DR.. Bryan, Governor Alexander said:

Bryan finds himself confronted with

SCARE MEx|CANS OUT
Hun Propagandists at Work on
the Border.
Try to Prevent Mexcans Crossing
Over to Accept Employment in
United States.

Laredo, Texas.-German propagan-
dists in northern Mexico and along
the border are actively engaged in in
stilling fright into Mexicans with
view to preventing their crossing to
the American side and accepting en-
ployment as laborers on farms, rail-
roads, etc. One canard that has been
given considerable publicity by the
propagandists is that the Americans
are contemplating drafting all Mexi-
can men between the ages of eighteen
and forty-five into the army, while all
Mexican women will also be forced in
to service and "taken to France, where
they will be used as washerwomen for
the American soldiers and the allies
generally"
These kind of reports have reached
the American consular service on the
border and they are exerting their ut
most efforts to set the MeXicans right
by assuring them that none but Ameri-
can citizens will be subject to the Sc
lective draft, while, as for women,
there is absolutely no foundation for
the report that they will be conscripted
and used as washerwomen in France,
as there are any number of women al
ready in France and none others are
needed ''for washerwomen."
Now that the new draft is in effect
it is expected that the German propa-
gandists will be manufacturing all
kinds of deliberate falsehoods to
thwart the efforts of the Americans to
secure laborers from Mexico to do ag-
ricultural and other work in this coun-
try

That the arrangement by which Adrian Nelson
has acted as probate judge and clerk of the district
court since April 1917, by which the salary of one
official was saved to the taxpayers of the county
will be continued is assured by the statement OF
the Republican county platform to which both Judge
Nelson and Homer Estes, county auditor and clerk
of the district court have subscribed. The following
plank from the Republican platform is here re-
produced:
eve heartily recommend the action of the board
of county commissioners of Latah county in ap
pointing Adrian Nelson to the office of probate
judge and thereby consolidating the office of the
clerk of the district court and the office of probate
judge at saving to the taxpayers of more than
thousand dollars per annum, and if elected,
Homer E. Estes, Republican candidate for clerk Of
the district court and ex-offico auditor and
corder, pledges himself in the event of Adrian Mel
sons election to the office of probate judge to
appoint him to the office Of deputy clerk of the
district court in order that the same economical
administration may be continued as that which
exists, and if elected, Adrian Nelson, Republican
candidate for probate judge, pledges himself that
he will continue to perform the duties of the two
offices for the next two years.

HUN PLOTS IN RUSSIA

fidy Of Lenine and Trotzky, there is
no longer any question but what they
are the hired and paid agents of Ger
many to bring about the downfall of
Russia. The United States govern
ment has laid the full evidence of
their work before the world during
the past week and stamped them by
unrefutable evidence as arch crooks
and dispoilers. These proofs have
been secured in Russia by American
agents and show the payments of
money by the German powers to these
men and the added evidence that Ger
many was planning a wal of world
conquest long before the assassina-
ton at Sarajevo. They also show
that Germany was organizing her
destructive agents and observers
long before the United States went
into the war and that the strikes and
outrages in this country have their
origin in her employment of these
agents and escaped criminals. There
Is also conclusive proof of her be-
trayal of Russia. how she played both
the aristocrat and subsidized the so
cialist. How a picked German officer
was chosen to defend Petrograd
against the German army. and how
they have directed the bolsheviki in
all of their plans and prompted them
in all of their actions. 1t is a most
wonderful revelation of brutal schem.
