BEGIN PROBE INTO
WARS AUTHORSHIP
SECRETARY LANSING PRESIDENT
OF BODY TO FIX RESPONSIBLE
iTY FOR CONFEDERATION.
Will Establish Guilt Of Those Respon-
sible for Premeditated Violation Of
Treaties and Will Also Fix
the Penalties.

Paris.-Robert Lansing, the Ameri
can secretary Of state, was unanimOus
ly elected president of the committee
on responsibility fer the war, which
held it's first meeting on February 3
at the foreign office.
In proposing Secretary Lansing's
name, Captain Andre Tardieu. the
French member of the committee, said
that before regulating a peace Of jus
tice it was necessary to impose penal.
ties upon the authors of the aggres-
sions which had brought death to mil.
lions.
The work Of the committee, he q.
planned, would be first to study the
facts which would establish the guilt
of those responsible for premeditated
violation of treaties and international
law, and, second, to fix the penalties
which would be defined and applied.
He closed by proposing Secretary
Lansing for president which was ap-
proved by the committee.
At the meeting Of the commission on
society Of nations Monday afternoon
there was general agreement to push
the deliberations as rapidly as possible.

IDAHO Is HEDGING

BOISE, Ida.-With the passage by
both the house and senate of joint
memorial to congress by Representa-
tive Mcdonald Of the Idaho Iegisla-
ture, the law making body of the
state goes on record on one Of the
most important road measures ever
before congress.
The federal bodies have before
them the bank head and other bills
which make a huge difference in the
federal appropriations to Idaho for
coast road building.
AS is generally known the govern
ment has appropriated 5000, 900, 900
to be available by July 1, 1924. OF
this amount $75,000,000 is available
by July l Of this year. Idaho's share
Of this amount is 100000 which
must be used before July 1, 1922.
The same amount is available next
year and even more than this for the
years following. According to the
provisions of the federal aid act this
state, as we'll as others, must appro-
pirate and spend an equal amount
with the federal government each
year.
A difficulty hard to surmOunt Is
presented in this phase of the mat
ter for in the sparsely settled states
the burden of taxation would fall
too heavily on a few to take COM
plete advantage of the federal act.
1t Is pointed out by the state high
way engineer that in 1910 there were
but four persons per square mile in
Idaho Tho m ou orjo1 bv Roproconfo
tive Mcdonald asks that the govern
ment's share be increased to the ex-
tent that but rs per cent would be
provided by local funds. This
amounts to $480,000 per year for
Idaho as against 100000 annually
which theh law at present proposes.
1t is to meet this problem of
sparsely settled states that the Bank
head bill was submitted to congress
and endorsement by the inter-mount-
ain states will do much towards Sc
curing its passage, it is believed here.

RESEMBLES EXPERIENCE OF
LONGFELLOW'S EVANGELINE

Mrs. A. M. Stewart of Blackfoot
and Pocatello is still in correspond
ence with the British government
trying to prove the identy of her son
George, who is near Manchester,
England, wanting to come home to
his native land and the good old
Snake river valley in particular.
Readers of our paper will remem-
Der that we published an account
of him few weeks ago, saying that
he ran away from home during the
Spanish-American war when the
family lived near Riverside, west of
Blackfoot, and they never heard
from him for twenty years.
Once they had what seemed to be
some clue of him in South America,
but nothing ever came of it. Last
September when he was fighting in
the British army he was sent to a
hospital in England, and wrote some
letters in an effort to find his people.
His brother Earl was at that time
working as an aviator at Manchester
within three or four miles of where
he lay in the hospital, but neither Of
them knew about the other. Before
letters could be exchanged, Earl was
on his way home, and in December he
landed back in America. He arrived
at Blackfoot last Friday, and is now
at work in the Service garage OPP
posite the Republican office in Black
foot.
He brought with him a piece of pro-
peller from Curtis plane, and it
stands in the display window of the
garage.
Mrs. Stewart is sending photos and
various other things to England to
prove Georges identy.

LANE LOOKS TO IDAHO

BOISE, Ida.-Deep interest is be-
ing expressed here over a series of
conferences being held between Sec
rotary of the interior Lane and the
senators from Idaho at the national
capitol.
Three great irrigation projects
which will need government aid are
in the making. They are the Sunny
side project between Mountain Home
and Nampa; the Dubois project ly-
my west of Dubois on the Sweet Sage
flats; and the Bruneau project be-
tween Twin Falls and Bruneau. The
largest would reclaim more than a
million acres. In addition there is
the Black Canyon project in the
southwestern part of Idaho.
Irrigation experts here agree that
each proposition is entirely feasible
and that water enough can be i'm
pounded to take care of these i'm
provements and vastly increase the
material wealth of the state.
