SCENES AT MARINE /
TOLD BY MR.. FRENCH
MOSCOW CONGRESSMAN WITH
OTHERS VIEWS HISTORIC
FRENCH BATTLE FIELDS

In this, the eleventh letter by Bur
ton l.. French, congressman for the
First Idaho district, who has been in
the war zone of Europe and is re-
porting for his home paper, The Star
Mirror, what he has seen and learned.
Mr.. French tells of the havoc
wrought at Marine, where the Ger
mans lost the war in the fall of 1914.
His letter follows:
VERDUN, France, April l, 1919
Editor The Star Mirror: | am not
trying to write a history, nor even to
give any well connected story, in fact
| can say little that is new. | am
merely trying to jot down a few i'm
presslons from along the way, gath
cred as | look over the havoc that
war has wrought | hate war; / al
ways have hated war, and yet, not
withstanding | had looked over num-
erous American battle fields includ-
ing Bull Run and Gettysburg, what
| am seeing now is so vivid, because
SO recent and awful, that its horrors
have been intensified a thousand
times.
Early yesterday morning our party
left Paris and drove to the Marine at
a point called Claye, a place that
marks the farthest German advance
toward the French capitol in 1914,
and that is seventeen miles away.
From there we drove on through La
Ferte and Lucy to Belleau Woods, on
to Chateau Thierry, and Rheims, and
spent the night in the old historic !
town of Chalons. Today we visited
Verdun and st. Mihiel and Mont
faucon and Spincourt. We have COW
cred quite lot of territory and es-
pecially that over which American
boys fought and died, and over which
our brave Idaho boys played the part
they did in heroic contest side by side
with other heroic men.

for the improvements contemplated at

satitorium at Nampa. Two new wings
will be added to the main building OF
| the Nampa institution at a cost Def
$780, 00 Improved refrigeration and
water systems plus the installation OF
dairy herd will consume further
appropriation Of $4,000. The soldiers
home appropriation, $4,000, includes
sum for an altered piping system
in addition to the $4,000 authorized
for the replacing of buildings DESTROY
ed by fire.
For the state asylum at BlackfOOt,
an improvement appropriation OF $45,-
600 was made by the legislature. Maj
or items include the construction of
psychopathic hospital and the clear
ing of 500 additional acres OF farm
land.
The northern Idaho asylum at Oro-
fino received maintenance grant
of $4,000 The erection of new isNa-
ton hospital and the construction OF
several concrete barns and a large
silo, are improvements contemplated.

the country is slightly rolling. This
is true from Claye to beyond Belleau
Woods. From near Chateau Thierry
to Verdun and the Argonne region
the country is much hitler, and in the
forest of the Argonne the country
is quite rough. The buildings in
country and city were of stone or
brick and stone, and people lived
close together. Streets are narrow,
yards about houses scarcely exist and
houses are damned SO closely togeth-
er that a city of fifteen thousand
covers the area of a city with us of
three thousand; and city of 100000
the. area Of city in America one
fifth as large.
| mention this because it has i'm
portant bearing upon the appearance
of destroyed city. Again some of
the cities were poorly or entirely sur
rounded by walls of stone in years
gone by and the havoc to the walls
adds dramatic color to the scene.
Imagine a trip from Lewiston to
Spokane, and if possible think of all
the buildings in all the cities of stone
or brick and close together. Imag-
inc Lewiston with not a building left
that was not shattered, her streets
piled high with ruins, her churches
all wrecked, her beautiful normal
school structures tumbled down, the
bridges across the Snake and Clear
water rivers blown up and tempo
rary spans taking care of traffic,
few people hunting about in the ruins
for what was once home; imagine
Genesee without single residence
left, not church, not school house,
not bank nor building of any kind,
but deserted, ruined walls marking
the site of a once busy and prosper
Gus home of many people; imagine

| six Of the eight tests.
The abilities called for in these
tests were as follows: following di.
rections, solving arithmetical prob
lens, common sense, giving informa-
ton and others.
Men were highest in their ability
to use words and in common sense.
'It is common information that
women have a superior language
sense" said Professor Reed. That
women like to talk is not mere rumor.
1t is an established fact. They are
also more practical than the men.
These facts are demonstrated in the
tests.
Professor Reed discounts the gen
eral superiority of the men over the
women as shown in these intelligence
tests. He says:
"After all the tests only show that
men move more quickly, that they are
able to adapt themselves to a new
set of conditions more easily than the
women, and that they are more cap
able executives" ,
The following are some Of the facts
demonstrated by the intelligence tests
conducted by Professor Reed, head
of the psychology department at the
University Of Idaho:
Men are more intelligent than wo-
men.
Women have a better language
sense, they talk more than men.
Older students Of the same class
are less intelligent than younger stu
tents.
Each class is more intelligent than
,he one below it.

and not more than one person where
now there are ten struggling to set
things in order or to find some place
to begin; imagine, then all along the
country roads, buildings shot full of
holes, roofs of houses tumbled in,
fences down, cemeteries roughly

States, or Germany, upon each; i'm

what the county and the towns and
cities of France look like that our
party has visited on yesterday and
today.
And yet / have understated the ap-
pearance of this region. The coun-
try is naturally a prosperous one.
Except in the more billy and timber
ed sections, there were rich farms
five years ago, orchards, grape vim
yards, grain fields, gardens; while in
the rougher sections stock raising
and dairying added to the wealth of
the land. On all sides these natural
industries are in ruins and the people
must begin at the bottom again in
home building and struggle on. Add

FLORIDA STOCK RAISING.

The Kansas farmer has long been held up as
about the climax of success in the agricultural
line, says the Tampa Times. We are told of his
hundred million bushel wheat crops and the
limitless number of automobiles and pianos and
other ct ceteras which he purchases with the
proceeds thereof, and we have come to consider
him very fortunate individual. Some of our
farmers perhaps have been inclined to envy him,
forgetting the scorching winds that occasionally
sweep his fertile prairies destroying every
green thing in their course, or the cyclones that
sometimes send him scurrying to his cyclone cell
lar while his livestock, barns and fences are rid
ing the wings of the wind over the next county.
But the Florida farmer has no cause to envy
his brother farmer in any part of the world.
Where else but in Florida is there such long
growing season, making it possible to raise three
and even four crops from the same bit of land !?
In what state do the annual returns per acre ap-
proac those of Florida? Where but in Florida is
there possibility of growing such variety of
crops? Even wheat, which has enriched the
Kansas farmer has been grown in Florida the
past year, and that with production per acre

IN the last two or three years, and the increase

FLORIDA GETS
FIRST ALLOTMENT
OF MOTOR TRUCKS
(RY JOHN c. TRlcE.)

Tallahassee, May 22.-Florida's ini-
tial allotment of motor trucks, to be
used under the supervision of the
state road department, consisting of
sixty three trucks, are ready for ship
ment and will very shortly be ready
for use on the public roads OF the
state.
These are all new trucks and were
part of the vast number of motor We
hicles purchased by the United States
war department for use of the Army
in France. Under an amendment to
the federal aid road act these trucks
and a great quantity of other road
building machinery was ordered turn
ed over the secretary of agriculture
for distributing to the road depart
ments of the various states to which
federal aid funds had been allotted.
More than two mnoths ago State
Road Commissioner VIM. +. Cooke, of
the state road department, filed APP
plication for Florida's portion of the
road building equipment and the trucks
now ready for shipment are but the
first installment of the equipment to
be received by this state.
While the act authorizing the dis
tribution of this equipment among the
states provides that it is to be used
on federal aid projects, the depart
ment of griculture is now trusting the
state of Florida to meet the federal
aid apportioned to this state and is
shipping the trucks prior to the en-
actment of the necessary law by the
state legislature.
Commissioner Cooke said tonight
that he had wired the director of the
bureau of public roads to ship the sixty
three trucks to Jacksonville, from
which point they will be distributed
to various parts Of the state and will
be used by the state road department
in repair and maintenance work until
funds for meeting the federal aid is
provided and additional federal aid pro-
jects are approved.

gether is not denied by thinking politicians.
The southern legislatures haze already failed
the south. And unless the Georgia senator
comes TO the rescue, it looks as If the southern
senator's have failed If the amendment passes,
then the day may be saved, for the tide may
again turn in favor of democracy.
1t may be claimed that it will not be fair for
the women to so use their power against democ-
racy, should the Georgia senator fail them, and
the passage of the amendment be blocked But
it must be remembered that women have not en-
tered politics for the pleasure it affords them,
or because of the notoriety they wish to gain, but
because they believe that it is only through the
ballot that certain much needed legislation may
be secured.
They have learned this through long years of
futile effort in putting across municipal re-
forms and other needed legislation. IF they can
not get the ballot through the democratic party,
then they will go where they can get it, for it
so partisan as is the man vote Their leaders
are women who are for the measure rather than
the man. If they can get across necessary child
labor legislation, necessary school reforms, nee
essary sanitary measures, through the national
republican party, then leaders will work with
that party.
If the women of the south had the ballot, it
is safe to say the next administration would be
democratic. But they have not got the vote, and
no one will deny that things do not look bright
today for the democratic party. The passage or
failure of the Susan B. Anthony amendment by
this congress may possibly mean the fate Of the
next candidate for the presidency.
The men who have blocked the measure in
variably bring up the negro question, and point
out the fact that if the white women of the
south are enfranchised the negro women will
also be given the ballot But it is a fact easily
proven by government statistics, that there are
many more white women in the south than
negro men and women together, with the excep-
ton of only two states, in which is known as the
Black Belt.
Where the negro race predominates, and these
two states have never had any race troubles of
any consequence.

OVER THE RIVER
Tomato Prices Set

Seaford, April 30.-The directors of
the Seaford Produce Growers Asso-
citation at a meeting on SATURDAY last,
considered the question of the price
for tomatoes grown this year. 1t was
unanimously resolved that the con-
tract price should be $25 a ton, or
Al 2-3 cents a basket, the price rec
commended at the meeting of the Pc
ninsula Association held in Seaford on
March 18th. This price, it is held, is
the lowest at which tomatoes can be
grown at a fair profit.
AS an evidence of the increasing
tendency on the part of the farmers
to cooperate as never before, may be
cited the number of associations ev-
e~rywhere being organized with a large
membership. In addition, a move
ment is on foot to bring the several
associations more closely together by
the organization of county and State
Associations.
