Yanks Always Happy.

A regiment of American soldiers,
brigaded with an English regiment
that had seen much service and act
ing under the immediate orders Of an
English brigadier general, recently
marched for six hours under broil-
ing sun to a point where a German
attack was expected, although 1t failed
to materialize, and, while the English
sat down and "looked glum" the Amer
leans gathered In groups and sang,
Hail Hail the Gangs All Here!"
The British officer commanding told
the newspaper correspondent, says the
Louisville Post, that he had never seen
such troops. They never seemed to
get tired and were always in good
humor and could see amusing things
In situations which appealed to the sol
iiers of other nations as anything but
funny.

AMERICAN LEGION PLACES
EFFECTIVE POLITICAL TABOO

They had no trouble in making the
change. Booth himself moved to
make this selection unanimous.
The decision of the legion was I'M
animous in standing by the Mondell
bill. 1t was given out by the dele
CATION from Canyon county that an
effort would be made to push through
n resolution condemning the measure
When the resolution was introduced
indOrsing the act, lively debate fol
lowed. The Endorsement went through
however, while the delegates in at
tendance cheercd. They were as en-
thusiastic over the resolution re-
commended to congress that all aliens
who refused to become naturaliZed or
who surrendered their first papers to
avoid military duty during the war
be deported, although an effort was
made to table the resolution on the
grounds that ii might lead to inter
national complications. The opposi
tion was flattcncd out, however, and
the resolution passed with a chorus Of
approval that swelled into a great yell
One clause in the resolutions con-
dennis the action of the enemies of
the Mondell bill who have declared in
favor of loan to soldiers, sailors and
marines. Congress- is requested to
eliminate that section which gives
former service men employed on irri-
Cation works & preference right In
drawing for reclamation lands. The
delegates in the convention felt 1t I'M
fair to men who are holding positions
to force them to give up their jobs to
accept work with the government In
order to get homestead.

Probably no other hill in the world

or played so important part in the
affairs of men as that at Greenwich,

every British map and chart is calcu-
lated. All England sets its time by
the mean solar clock. There is large
electromagnetic clock fixed on the
outside wall of the observatory and
divided into "a hours. There are many
who believe that this clock is kept

that the fixed stars are the real time

Boise, Idaho, June 2S.--The Idaho
branch of the American Legion, which
was organized in this state at Boise
this week, made it clear from the out
set that an attempt to mix politics with
the affairs of the legion would not be
tolerated and that it proposed to re-
main free from The entanglements
which political wire pulling affords.
The legion is made up Of veterans of
the recent war who propose to re-
main free lances In mattere OF pub
lie interest and policies, taking a hand
i'll them at such times as ii is believed
this is necessary.
The. legion struck boldly at slack
ers and aliens who refused to fight for
the country Of their adoption after
enjoying its benefits. 1t also went on
record as i'm favor Of the passage OF
the Nondell soldier land settlement
bill which adyices from Washington
now say is in jeopardy. The enemies
of the act were condemned in no UNI
certain terms.
1t was the initial meeting of the
league In the state and the proceed
jngs and action taken created no lit
tie interest. The hands Off notice
to the politicians did not come as a
surprise, for ii has been known for
some time that am ovement was under
way to free the soldiers from entan'
clements of this kind which later
might prove embarrassing. Captain
Edgar Hawley of Boise was named tC
preside over the conventions pro
ceedmgs. He was selected by the
anti-political forces. Whether there
was any truth in the report or not, II
was freely circulated during the con
vention that Major G. M. Booth o.
Twin Falls, who called the convention
by virtue of the fact he was head Of
the delegation the soldiers sent to thu
national caucus of the legion Mt st
Louis In May, was active in an effor
TO have himself made chairman of the
convention and legion. There wers
rumors that Booth aspired to politica
Office as well. His friends contendet
that he had perfect right to botf
ambitions and that he was the mos
logical delegate In the assembly to ac'
as head of the legion. The anti-Bootf
faction decided on Captain Hawley IL

Word was passed along that the Ger
mans were coming and later the Huns
could be seen marching in massed for
nation. But small number Of
men were opposed to them, but If
they went through the line it meant
the gaining of the sea and it's ports
for the Boches. The railroad engin-
GERS and their crews threw down their
picks, spike mauls and drills, picked
up rifles and filled the breach beside
the British. The line held until re-
Inducements arrived and the Germans
were driven back. A shell burst
among the railroad employees and so
shattered Boom's leg that it was neces-
sary to amputate. This hero of the
war has been elevated to the post of
commander of the Idaho legion. He
has already proved to be an efficient
executive officer.
The cmstitution adopted by the
league provides that the executive
power shall be vested in the execu-
tive committee to be made up of one
ircmber from each Of the 10 JUDICIAL
districts In the state, the state com
mander and state adjutant; that the
officers to be named by the legion shall
