GAY TERMS
 IMPOSSIBLE IF SIGNING
No Nation Could Sign Such
 Terms" Is Vail ;Pessimism Prevails In Hun Capital
Declare Amended ultimatum
 Same As Original Treaty After An All-Night Study

5ERLIs, June 17 (5y the As
 sociated Press) impression
 of those 'who were engaged
 throughout the night in trans
 lating the reply of the allied and
 associated powers, is that it will
 be utterly impossible to sign and
 that it is probable a negative re-
 ply will be wired to pr. HanieI
 Von Haimausen for submission to
 M. CIemenceau.
 It is considered possible that Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau, will not return to Versailles on account of the demonstration made against the delegates, resulting in injury to Minister Giesberts, Frau Dorlblush, Attache Meyer and others, all of whom were hit with stones. Herr Meyers eye was injured by glass.
 Universal Dismay" In Berlin
 The changes in the peace terms, as indicated by the red interlineations in the text of the old treaty, are so slight as to cause universal dismay among those who have had the op- portunity of examining the document. The financial notifications are con- sidered unimportant and objection able, and the terms governing Ger many's admission to the League of Nations are declared to be unsatis- factory.
 Government circles state they can not conceive any government willing to sign such terms, though it is ad- mitted the treaty will be fully dis cussed, because 1t is realized that serious effects, with the spead of Bol- shevism in lGemany. would be en- failed in refusal to sign. The En- tente's answer, also, is considered nothing less than an ultimatum.

MAY CALL THE
LEGISLATURE

II is quite possible that Governor
D. w. Davis will call a special SEES
sion of the legislature some time be-
fore February l, to ratify the federal
woman suffrage amendment. Gov
ernor Davis has had in mind the call
ing of special session for some time
past on the condition that the mem
bers of the legislature agree to pay
their own expenses and cause no extra
expense to the state. II the ldaho
legislature is called similar action
will be taken in Washington.
The national republican committee
in executive session on Wednesday
passed a resolution calling on repub-
lican governors of states that have not
ratified the woman suffrage amend
ment. to make an effort to secure rat
ification and it was the sense OF the
committee that no republican state
should stand in the way of nationwide
suffrage for women in the next pres
idential campaign. Of the % states
that have ratified, IS it is pointed out
are under republican control and there
are only eight republican states yet &c
ratify which include three northwest
ern states.
The republican national convention
is to meet in Chicago. Nationa
Chairman Hays states that this com

the same stabilizing influence in poll

EX-SOLDIERS
GIVE DANCE

One of the most successful dances
ever given in this city was that held
at the /. o. o. f. hall on Saturday ev-
ening by the members of Boundary
Post No. So, American Legion. The
expenses of the dance were quite
heavy as the members of the Legion
were determined to show the public
a good time no matter what the cost.
The net receipts were about $4,000. =
The dance was attended by about so
ex-service men from all parts of the
county and these all wore their army.
navy or marine uniforms. The hall
was attractively decorated for the
dance with U. S. flags, flags of the al
lies and red, white and blue bunting.
The music was furnished by the
Bush orchestra of four pieces and at
promptly $3.50 o'clock the grand march
started, being led by Post Commander
f. B. Stookey and Miss Faye Kent.
During the evening punch and cakes
were served at the refreshment stand
which was in charge of Mr.. and Mrs
Charles Roesler
One of the interesting events or the
evening was the drawing OF the three

II. &. Tax Man Here

Lewis James, L. S. Collector of
Dealers Excise Tax, was an official
visitor in Bonners Ferry Saturday,
Sunday and yesterday and gathered in
quite a donation from the business
men both in the way of tax money and
in fines for violations of the tax laws.
Most of the merchants look upon
the law providing for a ten percent
tax on goods over a certain value as
a scheme to give a few more political
jobs and it may be they are right
II is certainty that the merchants
would rather pay a direct tax thar
have to bother with the red tape ant
nuisance of the present law.

Administration Ineficiency

The soldiers insurance policies is
sued during the war have lapsed to
such an alarming degree that the War
Risk Insurance Bureau is threatened
with extinction, and the officials or
the bureau are now trying to inter-
est soldiers in reviving their insurance
which il was much to their own IN
terests to retain. 1t is fair TO say,
however, that the principal reason for
the tremendous number of lapses was
the difficulty experienced by the SOL
diers in getting information ABOUT
their policies Not only was there
failure in notifying soldiers OF their
premium payments, but inquiry by let
fer seldom elected an intelligent re-
sponse. Soldiers became discouraged
because of their inability to get nee
essarv information and hundreds oil
thousands of them dropped their IN
surance in disgust. This was slmpi,
and solely because of the inefilclency
which. as Senator Chamberlain put II
caused every department in Wasnlng
