CITY MANAGER PLAN MAKES
APPEARANCE IN MOSCOW

Would not Moscow benefit by the
city's affairs being carried on under
the city manager plan? With the
approach of the biennial city election,
which will be held April %, this ques-
tion is being discussed by men who
are interested in the city's welfare.
Under Idaho's laws it is possible to
have city manager and the expert
ence of other communities, east and
west, where the city manager system
has been adopted, leads to the belief
that the plan is we'll worth consid-
ering.
Frank David, we'll known pioneer
business man, when seen by Star
Mirror representative this morning,
said:
81 have been thinking for some
time that Moscow should at least in
vestigate the merits of the city man
ager plan, and l find that many
others are thinking along the same
line. We always want to advance
and to improve our condition, and this
leads US into new methods, which are
usually an improvement. A concen-
tration of authority spells success in
private business and [ firmly be-
lieve that it would prove beneficial
in conducting the affairs of a city.
AS a matter of fact it has been
proven by the experience of many
cities that it is a success. By en-
ploying capable man at a fair sal
ary to act as purchasing agent for
the city and to supervise all city de-
partments, l believe we would get
better results from the expenditure
of the city's money than could pos
sibly be obtained under system Of
divided authority"
Another very capable business man
said that he would be glad to have for
his personal income fifty per cent
of what he believed could be saved
for the city by capable business
manager. He said the city could well
afford to pay man $3.50 month to
devote his time to the city's affairs.
G. G. Pickett, city attorney, states
that it is possible to create the office
of city manager, under the Idaho
state law, without an election. The
city manager plan would not do away
with any city departments, but would
coordinate the departments under one
head. The duties of the
could be changed by resolu-
ion of the city council at any time
hat it was felt that change might
)e for the best interests of the city.
Also, all important actions taken by
he manager would come up to the
,ity council for ratification.
Mr.. Pickett has for several years
'een investigating the merits of the
,lan, and has secured data from cities
which have been operating under a
manager, finding in each case that
he plan works out admirably.
Judging from the opinions express
ed by successful business men, it is
ot beyond the range of possibilities
hat the affairs of the metropolis of
orth Idaho will be conducted next
ear under the city manager plan.
At the city election, which will be
eld April %, and which will be pre-
eded by a general caucus, mayor,
tx councilmen, city clerk and city
reasurer will be elected for term
f two years.

MOSCOW BOY PROFITS
BY MILITARY EXPERIENCE

Wm. L. Robbins, son of Mr.. and
Mrs: W. S. Robbins, left Tuesday for
Great Falls, Mont, where he has a
good job as foreman in a shop of the
Great Falls Construction company, a
firm "Bill' worked with before he
went to war.
Mr.. Robbins was over year in
France as a mechanic with the avia-
ton department. On his return about
three weeks ago he received notice
from the army that he was promoted
to be chief mechanic of his depart
ment, which was engaged in making
aeroplanes.
Mr.. Robbins army experience has
been profitable to him for he has
learned to be an expert workman in
his line. He has proved his ability

CLEMENCEAU'S WAR
CROSSES A HEART OFFERING

PARIS. - (Associated Press.)-
Premier Clemenceau was opening his
mail this morning, hurriedly as is
his custom, merely glancing at some
letters, making short annotations on
others, in a fair way to dispose of
his courier in the usual few minutes.
Suddenly, upon opening a somewhat
soiled and cheap envelope, the con-
tents fell to the floor with a metallic
sound.
The Premier picked them up, read
the letter slowly, then read it again,
and then sat there staring at the
paper with tears filling his eyes in
spite of his efforts to suppress them.
The letter read:
"They have not given you the war
cross; here is mine. 1t has only two
stars while you deserve two palms
but it is the best | can offer; here it
is" It was signed: can old poilu."
And the 'sgrand old man" of France
who with dry eyes has looked upon
the horrors of two wars, picked up
the little rusty piece of metal, the
ribbon of which is soiled by the rain
of the trenches or bespattered with
the blood of it's former owner, and |
wept.
"It might have been given to me
by the president of the republic or
by marshal of France, with great |
pomp at the Invalides. Coming from
this humble "poilu" I shall treasure it |
forever" he said

for few hours on his way home
from Troy, where he had disposed of

WILSON PROGRAM
WILL SAVE HUNS
BERNSTORFF SEES LEAGUE AS
ONLY SALVATION FROM
BOLSHEVISM

PARIS, Tuesday, March 25.-Ger-
many is determined to stick close to
the Wilson program in making peace
with the allies, Count Won Bernstorff,
former German ambassador to the
United States, declared in an inter
view given the Berlin correspondent
of the Temps.
"The armistice of November H."
said Count Won Bernstorff, was
signed when all the powers interested
had accepted the program of peace
proposed by President Wilson. Ger
many is determined to keep to this
agreement, which history will regard,
in a way. as the conclusion of a pre-
liminary peace. She herself is ready
to submit to the conditions arising
from it and she expects all the inter
ested powers to do the same. If these
essential conditions of the Wilson
program should be violated or neg
lected, and especially if conditions
are imposed which go beyond the
he German delegates would
find themselves in
position of, say non-possumus."
Count Won Bernstorff advocated a
plebescite for Alsace-Lorraine and
German Austria.
"Germany's attitude on indemni-
ties,' continued the former ambassa-
dor, "is fixed by her acceptance of the
note of November 5, 1918, whereby
is accorded for all dam
age done to the civil populations of
France and Belgium by German ag-
gression. This note admits of the
payment of no other indemnities."
81 am not prophet, but bolshevism
would gain immensely. The liberal
world, which has seen salvation for
in President Wilson's prin-
,iples, would be terribly disappointed
f peace were not made. Even the
higher classes would be driven to de- |
pair. Remember that since the mid /
lie ages no idea has aroused the
worlds enthusiasm like league of
lations based on peace and justice
md who will dare to cause the idea
o miscarry at the first test. hope
hat a league of all the nations of the
world will make common cause
gainst the spectre of bolshevism and
riumph over it."

EUROPEAN NATIONS
FAR BEHIND AMERICA
HARRY HUP TELLS OF WAR EX-
PERIENCES-WA SEVEN
MONTHS OVERSEAS

Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Hupp returned
Sunday from Camp Lewis where Mr.
Hupp was mustered out of the sery-
ice. Mrs. Huff. formerly Miss Vivian
Allen, has been teaching as principal
of the Richfield high school in the
southern part of the state while heI
husband was in the service.
Mr. Hupp enlisted 16 months ago
and was seven months in France
where. he served as WAGNER in the
motorized unit of the coast artillery
His company was ready to move to
the front when the armistice was sign
ed.
He says England is beautiful coun-
TRY and quite progressive, according
to our American ideals, but the French
seem to cling to methods that are CEN
turies old, with no systems of SANTA
|tion and organization for modern Iiv-
ng that we deem necessary The
French and American modes of living
and common moral rules seem to
vary widely. 1t was laughable to
watch the dexterity Of the peasants in
manipulating their wooden shoes.
Effect of Gas Terrible.
1t was terrible to see the wounded
imen being brought from the front, but
the Red Cross were giving the boys
he best of care The effects of gassing
were the hardest of all the warfare
to be borne by our boys. Mustard gas
in some shell holes.
His company saw very few Y. M. G.
A. workers but the Salvation Army
was much in evidence. While at
Limoge they were quartered in the
former cavalry headquarters of Napol-
con. and Mr.. Hupp secured as a SOU
venir an old muzzle-1oader duel pis-
tol, which was reported to date back
10 Napoleons time. Among other
souvenirs he brought back his gas
mask and some wooden peasant shoes.
1T is almost unbelievable, the
amount of supplies the Americans
have stored in France, but it was all
necessary as no one knew when the
war would end These mountains of
and the endless stream of
valiant fighting men coming from
overseas, no doubt did more than any
other items to break the morale of the

NEED IS GREAT
FOR USED CLOTHING
THOUSANDS OF REFUGEES SUI
FERING- YOUR CON-
TRIBUTION AT ONCE

If you have not already taken in
voice of your supply of used clothing
and done up a package to be deliver
ed to the Red Cross to help make vi
Latah county's quota for the French
and Belgian refugee, you have over
looked one Of your duties. The drive
is now on and by Saturday night the
Moscow chapter hopes to have the
four tons of used clothing allotted to
it, ready for shipment.
The clothing is being received at the
W. A. Lauder feed store, on Main
street. Deliver your offering there
as early as possible and find out
whether your neighbor has forgotten
the drive, and if so urge immediate
action.
A Paris dispatch states that the
need for clothing among hundreds of
thousands of refugees in France is
even more imperative than food. That
is the substance of a statement con-
tanned in the report of so investigators
of the American Red Cross working
among the 100000 refugees gathered
in and about Paris.
"Most of the refugee families man
age to nourish themselves on the gov
ernment allowance and their small
wages, but they are by no means able
to clothe themselves. AS the pres
ent prices of clothing in France are
prohibitive the need for this kind of
assistance is obvious. Accordingly, we
decided to give food only when spe-
cial nourishment was ordered by
physician, but to continue to look aft
er the clothing need as imperative"
1t is estimated that the German in
vasion of France and Belgium made
wanderers of 1,250000 formerly hap
py country people of these countries.
Now that the conflict is over and the
occupied territories of France and
Belgium have been liberated, these
refugees are fastening back to their
former homes in large numbers. They
haye no thought of the ruins, the cold |
weather, or their condition as regards |
sufficient clothing, only the longing
to get back to their homes occupy
their minds.
