= BE deeds Of heroism performe

1 BE deeds of heroism performed
by the soldier boys of Idaho
in France and Belgium are
among the most striking of which the
war department has a record. Some of
these Idaho soldiers have returned
home. Others are still on duty. Some
Will never return. Their bodies rest
IN last long, sweet sleep under the
poppies of the French republic. They
have made the supreme sacrifice.
When duty called they responded
without hesitation and gave to the
world their lives that the world might
be safer.
When we read of these deeds Of
valor and when the eye is dimmed and
young men of our acquaintance who
SO willingly died that we might live
in security, we are prompted to mar
vel at the character of the heart and
mind of any who, living in comfort
and far removed from danger, might

SO costly In lives and the monetary
expense of which has been incense
Quental compared to the sacrifices our
heroes have made and the benefits
they have conferred upon civilization.
An officer high in rank who comes
from Idaho and who has been cited
for superior service is Colonel Lucius
r. HolbrooS of the 18th Field Artillery.
Colonel Holbrook's position was one
of great. Importance in a notable en-
gagement Any break there, any mis-
takes, would have been costly TO the
entire force Because he displayed
such conspicuous skill in handling his
artillery grohp in this attack, and in
subsequent bombardments, preserving
his guns and giving most efficient sup
port to the infantry, the war depart
ment o. the recommendation of the
commander OF the Expeditionary
Forces, has highly complimented him.
Carried Comrade to Safety.
Among the many Instances of hero
ism on the part of Idaho soldiers is
that of Sergeant Arthur y. thinner
man. whose home is at Bonners Ferry.
Zimmerman entered the service in the
fall of 1917 and sailed for France in
July, 1918, with the 91st Division. He
participated in the Argonne drive,
where he WIS wounded and is still in
French hospital. Near Oesnes, Nom

extraordinary heroism and awarded

Captured Hun Gunners.
Another son of Idnho- who won the
d. S. c. is Corporal John w. Cramer,
of HALEY. Corporal Cramer was a
member of a patrol sent out to re
connoiter the town of Audenarde, Bel
GUM. This detachment discovered
several enemy machine gun sniper
posts located in buildings from which
the streets of the town were being
swept with lead. With but one com
panion, Corporal Cramer lodged from
building to building under this intense
fire, entered one Of the houses con-
tanning a machine gun, and captured
two Hun gunners.

Volunteered and Died.
Many reports have been made to
the effect that it was with the utmost
difficulty that the American troops
were held in check. When they start

were always dissatisfied with orders
that halted them.

sary for some to advance considerable
distance beyond the front lines. Such
was the case in the fight near Thiau

In the great hush of eternity they
sleep.
In vain we reach for that old ia

In vain we strain our ears to catch
a word from that far off shore; but
still in spirit they send us message
that we must recognize. They call
on us to perform our duty as they
performed theirs, not to face death
dealing weapons of war, not to under
go privations and hardships, not to
yield our ease, but simply to make as
generous loan as we possibly can
to our goyernment--"TO FINISH THE

SHOULD MAKE US PAUSE.

Not long ago the manager OF telegraph COM
pany was dismissed from Office for failure TO
comply with the mandate of the postofice de-
partment; at least, that department alleged the
failure. In the congressional Inveshganon OF
matters pertaining to telegraph control by the
government this manager was summoned as
a witness and in the process OF interrogation
one congressman, a warm supporter OF MI
Burleson, heatedly asked the witness IT he did
not admit that he had been guilty of treason"
The reply was an indignant denial and there
was general surprise at the question Probably
it is question to excite general surprise
throughout the nation, if attention be attracted
to it. For it simply brings clearly into view the
possibilities involved in government control
Such control means setting up military bu-
reaucracy No one is credited with power to
act as prophet of the future Of bureaucracy;
all that is possible is to reason from the past
history of it. Bureaucracy has always tended
straight toward becoming autocracy, an
autocracy bending its wits constantly to the
task of entrenching itself against interference
and overthrow by the people at large. 1t has
constantly sought to make independence of its
regulations treason We are still in theoretic
state of war; but it is only theoretic Yet here
comes this allegation of treason. 1t ought to
make thinking people pause.
