COUNTRY ON FIRM
BASIS, SAYS GLASS
CONFIDENCE IN FINANCIAL CON.
DITloN EXPRESSED By SEC.
RETARY OF TREASURY.
Declares There Is No Insufficiency Of
Credit for the Needs of Any Useful
Enterprise, Nor a Shortage
of Gold.

Observation-Disclosures in the fin
ancial condition of the country and It's
ability to float the Forthcoming Vic
tory Liberty Loan was expressed Tues
day by Secretary Glass in replying to
the suggestion of Senator Calder of
New York, that special session of
congress should be called to stop de.
probation in the market price of Lib
erty bonds.
Far from agreeing that the decline
in outstanding bonds might jeopardize
the popular campaign for flotation of
the Victory issue this month, thereby
tying up credits by forcing the banks
to take the new bonds, Mr. Glass de-
clared that he was assured the treas
ury's efforts to solve the financial
problems of the country would have
the support of united and victor
ious people," Depreciation in bonds,
he said, has been the result of arti-
fetal causes and he knew of no one
who did not believe that all Liberty
bonds would sell above par before
maturity.
"There is today no insufficiency Of
credit for the needs of any useful
enterprise nor insufficiency of gold to
support our credit structure" Secre-
tary Glass declared.

EDITION TO BE PROUD OF

The Teton-Peak Chronicle of St.
Anthony has the following to say
about the good roads edition issued
by the Idaho Republican:
Byrd Trego is the man that con-
trolls the organ of public informa-
ton for the poole of Blackfoot and
the adjoining territory. He is the
editor and publisher of the Idaho
Republican, that twice weekly comes
from it's home in that progressive
town bearing the tidings of intelli-
gence to all the folks of that COM
munity. For years he has been there
on the job with both feet.
The past week he produced and
sent out broadcast good roads edi-
ton, and from the front page to the
last one, the columns of each car
ried an interesting series of articles
that covered all phases of the good
road movement. 1t was printed on
good paper, the separate section ar
ranged with a taste and discerning
value which cannot fail to produce
good results.
The many stories were well writ
ten, and accompanying the text were
latest engravings giving pictorial
treatment of the matter used. Mr..
Trego cannot be congratulated too
strong on the result 1t was a paper
that any publisher could be proud
Of, and one that will surely bring
good returns for the purpose for
which it was given. Good roads are
absolutely essential for the right
progress of any modern county or
state, and when an editor hesitates
for a time in his general work, and
gives the time, care and energy re-
quired in the task of presenting such
an effective messenger of publicity,
we not only cheerfully give him the
boquet he is entitled to, but we go
one better and give him the whole
darn garden. You did good work
Brother Trego, and your next edition
will meet with even a warmer and
more substantial reward.

AN HONEST ANARCHIST

The Plummer (Idaho) Reporter
prints the following interview with
an I. w. w. suspect, Oscar Saarin,
alias Matt Hill, Finn, picked up by
Sheriff Prentice Wolf. When taken
before United States Commissioner
McFadden at St. Maries to swear out
the complaint, few pertinent ques-
lions were asked:
"Who would you like to see in
the place of the PRESIDENT" amy
of the boys"
do you like this government"
"No."
would you like this country like
Russia?" "Yes."
do you believe in destroying
property to accomplish the |. w. w.
teachings?" YES"
did you come here to help over
throw the government" Eyes"
do you believe the I. w. w. will
get strong enough to overthrow the
government" eyes"
do you think you should have
as much right here as a native-born
citizen?" eyes"
In addition to the above the pris-
oner indicated that he worked in
the shipyards so he might do some
poor work, hoping that, as result,
the ship would sink when it was
loaded with soldiers. He said that
he is an /. w. w. organizer, but
claimed his organizers certificate
had not yet been sent to him.
This man at least has the courage
to acknowledge his convictions.

KAISER TO Be TR|EO
FOR STARTING WAR
CONFEREES At PARIS PLACE THE
BLAME ON SHOULDERS OF
HUN LEADER.
Probable That Former Emperor Will
Be Taken to Belgium For Trial
Huns Must Pay Five Billion
Within Two Years.

Paris.-The responsibility of the Ger
man emperor for the war and the
means for bringing him to trial by one
of the allied governments, probably
Belgium, have been definitely deter
MINED upon by the council of four.
This follows the definite decision on
the terms of PREPARATIONS for war dam
ages, whereby $5,OO0,OOO,OOO must be
paid within the next two years and an
interallied commission assess the re-
naming damage for period OF thirty
year, beginning May 1, 1921.
Thus, two of the great obstacles
which stood in the path of the rapid at
tainment of peace have been removed,
and the period of extreme tension over
the inaction and the failure to secure
tangible results is succeeded by re-
vived confidence over the great ad-
vance made towards a permanent set
Element.
How far these results are due to the
limitations conveyed by the summon
ing to France of the United States
transport George Washington by Pres
ident Wilson is only conjectural.
The council of four has reported. an
agreement on the Saar valley. The
agreement leaves sovereignty over the
valley unchanged, but accOrds to
France, free of duty, sufficient coal for
the Lorraine iron industry and to re-
place the production of the mines de-
stroyed in the Lens mining district,
with the privilege to the Germans of
restoring the Lens mines and thus re-
lieving the Saar valley of that charge.
This agreement removes one of the
most difficult obstacles to the conclu-
sion of peace.
There was practical agreement on
the general responsibility of the Ger,
man emperor for bringing on the war
but division occurred on whether il
was feasible to bring him to justice be-
| fore an international tribune.
The French and British view favored
a tribunal, but the American view, II
| is understood, favored moral cOndem
nation without recourse to prOsecu
| ton, owing to lack of an international
| law as basis for trial before an in
| ternatiOnal court.
