TRIAL OF THE KAISER
WAS A DEEP SECRET
President Wilson Didn't Tell Even
Secretary Lansing About it
Was Not Made Public.

Paris.--The plan of the allies to try
the former kaiser in London was
secret which President Wilson carried
with him aboard the George Wash
ington. Nobody was more surprised
by Premier Lloyd Georges announce
ment in parliament than the members
of the American peace delegation. The
president before his departure did not
even inform Robert Lansing, the
American secretary of state, and now
the head of the United States delega-
ton. 1t is assumed the decision re-
garding William Hohenzollern was
one of the many agreements of the
council of four which have not been
given to the public.
Lansing Held Action Impossible.
Mr.. Lansing was the author of the
opinion submitted to the peace CON
ference that the former kaiser could
not be tried under established judicial
procedure. and that such a trial could
have only political basis. The sec
rotary of state also has been skepti-
cal regarding the possibility of extra.
diting the Hohenzollerns.
Lloyd George Won Over Wilson.
American officials are inclined to
believe that Premier Lloyd George
won the president over to the plan
OF trying the ex-kaiser before a spe.
cial tribunal in London only short
time before the president sailed for
home, and that Mr. Wilson forgot to
leave instructions with the delegates
mere. At any rate, it is the intention
of the American delegation to ask the
president for information. The dele
gates believe with Mr.. Lansing that
Holland will refuse to give up Will
helm or his son.

Investigate Officers Bonds.

Inc state commissioner of finance
has issued letter to all county COM
missioners in the state, asking them
to determine conclusively the condi-
ton of all official and depository
bonds, as to whether they are made
out in proper form and If sufficient
security is furnished or a surety bond
is supplied by the officers who are
required to furnish bonds. Under the
law that will be put into operation in
the immediate future by the finance
commissioners the state is divided in
to four districts and each will have
a registered examiner who will SUI
pervise the finance work of the state
institutions in that district. Commits
sioner Bowerman believes this sys-
TEN will produce an economical ad
ministration and also be the means of
the officials familiarizing themselves
more thoroughly with the actual con.
dition of state affairs.
Water Short in South Part.
Boise.--It is estimated that the
shortage Of water for irrigation in the
southern and eastern portions of this
state will result in loss of opproxi
mately $40,00O,OOO in crops unless
there is some relief and a proper dis
tribution of the available supply. Com
missioner Swendson of the irrigation
department is now in the upper Snake
river valley making an investigation
following an appeal sent to Governor
Davis. The shortage is due to the
light fall of snow in the Teton and
other mountains dividing Idaho and
Montana. The water from this snow
is stored in the Jackson lake reser-
voir in Wyoming and brought into
Idaho via the Snake river as It ia
needed. Many farmers say their crops
are drying up because there is not
sufficient water to irrigate them. In
some instances canal headgates have
been broken open and water stolen
during the night
