Adjutant General Wilson explained

Adjutant General Wilson explained
that the new national guard compan-
les will be governed by the law of
June, 1916, and the officers and men
will receive 25 per cent of the pay
of men of similar rank in the regular
army. Thus private in the national
guard will draw $3.50 per month,
which is one-fourth of the pay of a
private in the army. Company Off
GERS will draw one-fourth the pay of
officers of the same rank in the
army. In addition to this the state
will provide an armory, equipment,
uniforms, and everything needed to
carry on the work. The men will be
paid January L and July 1. Men
must attend not less than "a drills a
year to qualify for pay, and the com
pany must drill 48 times year.
Capt. G. P Mix, of Company G.,
is anxious to have many young men
in the new company which is to be
organized next month. When the
present company was organized last
year many of the young men were in
the army and there are many mem
bers of the old company who are from
40 to SO years old. These would be
glad to drop out and have their places
filled with younger men, and es-
pecially those who have had actual
military experience

GIRL AND MARRIED
COUPLE HELD IN JAIL
STORIES OF DEPRAVITY AT POT
LATCH TOLD TO LATAH
COUNTY OFFICIALS

Gladys Olson, aged 16, was com
mitted to the reform school by Judge
Adrian Nelson, of the probate court
today, and James Mitchell, aged 20
and his wife, Blanche Mitchell, aged
IL, are held in the county jail on a
charge of contributing to the delin-
quency of minor, the Olson girl,
who weighs about 180 pounds, being
the minor in question.
The two girls tell tales of shocking
depravity, almost unbelievable.
Gladys Olson confesses to illicit re-
iations with Is different persons, CIV
ing the names of each. They include
men and boys at Moscow, Potlatch,
Palouse and Spokane. James Nit
chell, husband of the other defendant,
is one of the men named and her
story of this act is almost beyond be-
lief, but she told it in an unconcerned
way as if talking of some event of
no great Importance. Mrs. Mitchell
says she was witness to this act
which occurred in the home OF the
Mitchells at Potlatch.
Mrs. Mitchell says she is II years
old and was married here last April
and that she told the county clerk
she was 18 years old. They were
married by Judge Barge. She con-
fesses to illicit relations with IL men
beside her husband and gives their
names. She says she sanctioned and
suggested the act of her husband
with the Olson girl, for which she
and her husband are held on the
charge of contributing to the delin-
quency of a minor.
The trio were taken at Potlatch,
and four men were arrested and given
a hearing there John Nisbet, county
attorney, does not know the names of
the men, but says three of them
pleaded guilty before a justice of the
peace at Potlatch and paid fines ag-
gregating $3.50 and were discharged.
He is undecided as to what action to
take regarding the other whom the
Olson girl confesses contributed to
her delinquency, nor does he knew
what should be done with Mitchell,
who is a lumber jack, now only 20
years old, and his wife, who has con-
fessed her depravity. He has the
names of 81 men whom these two
girls say had contributed to their de-
Iinquency and if all are arrested
there will be some sensations, it is
believed.

GRAYSON REPORTS
Remains in Bed Nearly All

On Board President Wilson's Spe-
cial Train.)-zAlthough benefited by
several hours sleep, President Will
sons condition showed no impor-
tant change tonight, while the spe-
cial train on which he made his in
terrupted tour of the country was
approaching Washington.
late in the afternoon DR.. Gray
son, Mr.. Wilson's personal physi-
clan issued this statement:
"The condition of the patient this
afternoon shows no material change
since. this morning, but he has ben

Remaining in bed nearly all day
the president was said to have re-
gained some of the loss of strength
which followed his nervous attack
of yesterday. His train is due IN
Washington tomorrow morning and
he will be taken to the White House
for more complete rest from his
long speechmaking trip fol. the
peace treaty.
Second Bulletin.
The bulletin issued by DR.. Gray
son was the second of the day, a
morning statement declaring there
was. little change from Mr.. Wilson's
condition of yesterday, which had
been described as mot alarming"
Mr.. Wilson sat up short time
during the early afternoon, but DR..
Grayson, enforcing strictly his rule
of absolute rest, did not permit his
patient to give attention to executive
affairs or to exert himself in any
other way. The physician spent
practically the entire day with the
president and insisted on keeping his
mind away from the cares of his Of
flee and OF the treaty fight.
During the entire day Mrs. Wilson,
too, was in constant attendance upon
her husband, insisting upon acting
as his nurse and ministering in per-
son to many of his wants.
DR.. Grayson seemed particularly
pleased at the rest which the presi-
dent was able to get during last
night and this morning. Through
out the evening and early night
Mr.. Wilson had been restless, but
in the early morning he fell into a
sound sleep, which lasted for sew
eral hours. Although still weak, his
rest during the night helped him to
pass more comfortable day.

The hardest work of her career,

importance of such work kept her
from faltering. Three shows every

then an enormous Jump" to an

and most of the time she ate Can

on Straw beds. But the gratitude

insists, paid her a thousand times

track, the presidential special ran
virtually without schedule, railroad
officials making what speed they
could without taking unnecessary
risks. No stops we're made except
at long intervals to take on water
or change engines. 1t was thought
tonight that the capital would be
reached not later than 8 O'Clock to-
morrow morning.
Aboard the train it was packing
up day for the members of the presi-
dental party, who virtually have
made their home aboard since the
departure from Washington three
and half weeks ago.
During the trip of nearly 10000
miles all of those in the party, in
GLIDING the president and Mrs. Viii
son, have spent all but three nights
on the train.
Late today the president, on the
advice of DR.. Grayson definitely
abandoned his plan to go to New
York next Friday to welcome King
Albert of Belgium.
The president wired the State de-
partment asking that some one else
be designated to officially repre-
sent the government in extending
the nations welcome to the royal
visitor. Later he expects to meet
the king at the White House.
Orders Less Speed.
As the train neared Pittsburgh,
running at a rate in excess of most
express trains, DR.. Grayson object
ed to the pace and it was decided
to slacken it during the night. 1t
was understood Mr.. Wilson became
uneasy at the way the train was
speeding and that DR.. Grayson de-
cided slower pace would be adj
visable in the interest of the pa
tents comfort.
At the rear end of the train, the
presidents private car had the hard
est jolts as the special cracked
arounds curves and bumped over
switches along the way. Under the
new schedule no attempt will be
made to reach Washington until ii
o'clock tomorrow morning.

late tonight that the president was
doing as we'll as could be expected"

Grated under the German flag, but

Ordered Ships Turned Over.
Under Secretary of State Polk,
Head of the American peace delega-
ton at Paris, has sought to have the
II oil ships allocated for the trans
portation of oil from the United
States to Germany. The repre-
sentatives of the five great powers
at Paris agreed, but the supreme
economic council, on which the
United States is not now represent
ed, ordered Germany to>turn the YES
sells over to the allies.
In announcing that the shipping
board would retain the eight Ger
man liners, Mr.. Rosseter said their
ALLEGATION to the United States was
permanent. When the ships were
delivered by the Germans in Eng
land, the shipping board, it was ex-
planned, turned them oyer to the
', War department for use as trans
ports and has now taken them back
for commercial employment.
Could Only Return, Them.
1t was said at the War depart
ment. today that since the ships
had been assigned to it by the ship
ping board, the departments only
course was to return them when
no longer needed as transports. At
the State department it was said
that the matter had not been
brought formally to the attention
of officials there and no state
ment was forthcoming.
Great Britain has contended that
the ALLEGATION of the eight liners
by the inter-allied commission was.
only temporary and that when the
need for the ships as troop trans.
ports had passed they were to re-
vert to the allied pool for perman-
emf ALLEGATION, among the allied and
associated nations.
Officials of the shipping board
would not say upon what authority
they were acting. 1t was expected,
however, that the whole question
would be brought to the attention
of President Wilson upon his re-
turn to Washington, either by the
board or by Viscount Grey, the new
British ambassador, who arrived
TODAY to take I'D his duties.
