MUST HOLD TROOPS
FOR PEACE TERMS
BRITISH MINISTER POINTS TO
GRAVE CONDITIONS THRU
OUT EUROPE

LONDON, March 25.-(By the AS
sociated Press. )-Defendin the mill
tary service bill in the house of com
mons today, Winston Spencer Church
i'll, secretary for war, declared thai
the whole of Egypt was in vlrtua
state of insurrection. The position
was so dangerous. he added, that the
government had to appeal to men or
the point of rehabilitation to return
and save their comrades from being
murdered.
This declaration by the war secre-
tary was brought about by the re-
marks of Sir Donald MacLean, who
had said that Great Britain was gross
ly over-insured with respect to the
strength of the army Mr.. Churchill
asked if he followed what was taking
place in almost every country at the
present time and if so, how could he
say that there was over-insurance In
keeping 100000 men, for every pur-
pose, including ten division on the
Rhine and four divisions in the home
country, less than the number kept
here in the peaceful days before the
war.
Only three days ago, continued the
secretary, a situation developed in
Egypt which was of very far-reach-
ing danger and which made it neces-
sary to appeal to the men who were
collected at various ports for demob-
ilization to go back and help their
comrades and save them from being
murdered.
The whole of Egypt was virtually
in a state of inSurrectiOn.
Had Sir Donald read of what was
taking place on the Black Sea, In
Hungary and on the whole frontier
of these small states which were
guaranteed protection by the league
of nations by which Sir Donald had
said, continued the secretary, that
the German army was to be reduced
to 100000 men and that the Germans
were to have no boy scouts ? Thats
the speaker asserted, was what the.
allies were going to demand. But
had the Germans agreed to it? Was
there any chance of their agreeing to
it, if the allies divested themselves Of
all their forces at the present time2
"The government said the secree'
tary, "have to face the real facts. II
we squandered our forces at the pres
ent time before our terms are Sc
cured, with European conditions of in
creasing gravity and perlexity, then
we would throw away with both hands
all the results gained by the sacri-
flee of millions of our men during
four years"
The liberal opposition has proposed
a series of amendments to the mill
tary service bill which Mr.. Churchill
declared were intended to wreck the
bill There was no truth in the ac-
cusation that. the government had not
tried the voluntary system. The gov
ernment had tried and would try ev-
cry means under the voluntary sys-
tenn.
Objection was taken to men being
invited to reenlist for as long as two
three and four years. But unless men
were secured for those periods it
would be impossible to relieve the
territorial and other troops in India
and elsewhere who ought to have eff
fective relief. He thoroughly agreed
that the government must do every
thing possible to re-create a voluntary
army at the earliest possible mement.

Movement For Better Roads.

There is a strong movement on
throughout the Moscow district this
spring for better dirt roads during
the coming summer. The only way
this can be brought about is by drag
ging the roads at the right time, and
now is the right time. The roads
should be dragged before they become
dry, and should be gone over again
following rains during the spring. BY
doing this they will remain in fair
condition throughout the summer.

TRACTS FOR EXTENSION
PRACTICALLY ALL LET

At an adjourned meeting of the
city council the contract for the
sewer pipe for Moscow's sewer ex-
tension of approximately one mile,
was let to the Washington Brick &
Lime company of Spokane, on motion
of Councilman Boyd. The council de-
cided on the vitrified ay,salt-glazed

''The Better 'Ole"
Pleased Audience

A crowded house greeted De- Wolf
Hopper in "The Better 'Ole" last
night at the Greenwood Theatre, ev-
cry seat being filled. Hooper is
noted actor and his role of "Old BilP'
an English soldier, was cleverly por-
trayed.
The scenes of "The Better 'Ole"
were laid in France and England. The
play opened in quaint little French
town behind the lines. Scenes just
behind the firing line and scenes in
the trenches, where shells were burst
ing and the hum of the airplanes could
be heard, were realistic.
The play dealt with the lives of
three comrades in France. ''Old Bill
played by Mr.. Hopper, Bert by a clev
er comedian, Harry McNaughton, who
had a girl in every village, and Alf,
Victor Dyer, who was also especially
good.
AS a climax, "Old Bill" blows up a
bridge, saves French command by. a
daring act an dis suitably rewarded,
being decorated with bronze medal.
For his deed of valor, he and his COM
panions are given a leave of absence
and they go to "Bill's" home in Eng
land, where the last scene is laid.
The play introduced Tommies, Poll
us, and many charming girls, repre-
senting the Allied nations.
Nothing but praise can be given Mr.
Hopper and his associate artists fol
their convincingly realistic acting
The trio, who played the leading
parts, each in their pose and makeup
had every appearance Of having step
ped right out Of the striking BARNS
) father cartoons to talk and live ovel
again, the scenes portrayed by the ar
! tist.
Every one present at the show las
night, went away pleased with th'
evenings entertainment, and sound
ing the praises Of Mr.. Hopper, wh'
despite his 81 years is one Of Amer
; icars greatest, most human and mos
; interesting comedians.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21-It was
officially announced today that Presi-
dent Wilson will take up the whole
subject of the treaty of Versailles in
his message to Congress on December
1st.. Meanwhile he will have nothing
to say, regarding the Senate's action
in rejecting it.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21-The ac-
ton of the Supreme Council fixing
December 1st as the date for the for
NAL proclamation of state of peace
between the powers ratifying the
treaty of Versailles, has fulfilled the
expectations of the administration Of
ficials, the general feeling here, being
that Europe would not wait longer for
this country's decision. The effect OF
the PRONUNCIATION of the State Depart
ment will not directly affect the le-
gal status of the war existing between
the United States and Germany but
means the work of the rehabilitation
of Europe will begin without the par
ticipation of the United States.
