WHY AMERICANS SHOULD
BUY VICTORY LOAN BONDS

"V" is for victory over the Hun,
"V" is for vigor, don't quit till
you're done, ~.
~" is for valor. let's do it up
ihgrt.
The Victory. issue to pay for the
right.
The Fifth Liberty Loan is about
TO be launched by Uncle Sam. At
least one member of this fleet should
find a safe harbor in the strong box
Of every farmer of this country.
To complete our victory over the
Hun by putting this Victory Loan
"over the top" is not only a duty but
q privilege, and its success depends
upon the whole-hesrted support of
every citizen of our nation. That the
farmers and other citizens have done
their duty nobly in the preceding
Liberty Loans is one of the factors
that has made the United States the
leading nation of the world.
We must not demobilize our patri-
otism before our armies are demObil-
lied. We must not allow ourselves
to relax our efforts until the final
"over the top of the Victory Liberty
Loan has been sounded. Just as the
unconQuerable spirit of the marines
struck terror in the heart OF the Hun
at Chateau-Thierry, so the unfalter-
ing and tremendous support of the
American people struck terror to the
Germans at home. We still have
boys "over there" to support, and
principles OF humanity to back.
A Liberty bond is worth 100 cents
on the dollar. 1t is absolutely safe
and non-taxable, so tho its interest
return may be smaller, II yields fair
income and is considered the worlds
premier investment. Judging the flu
ture by the past, Liberty bonds will
almost certainly go we'll above par
soon after peace is declared. Records
show that following previous wars,
some 4 per cent 500 United States
government bonds have sold on the
market as high as $40.
1t Is not too much to say that I'M
time to come, every Liberty bond
holder who sold his bond will regret
1t and every one who held his will be
glad that he did.
What is going to be done with the
money of the Victory Liberty loan:
l. Pay the financial obligations
that the United States is under. as a
result of the war.
2. Maintain our soldiers an gail
ors in safety and comfort until they
have returned to their homes.
8, Carry out the provisions OF the
War Risk Insurance law in caring for
disabled soldiers, their families, or
dependents.
4. Re-educate and rebabilitate
those who, by reason OF their wounds
or injuries, are unable to pursue their
former vocations. and train them and
fit them. not for weaving baskets or
knitting knickknacks or things of
that sort. but for' mems work. Dur
ing this training they will receive the
same pay and their families the same
allotmeDts they received while the
soldiers were in active service
No one who knows the American
farmer, doubts for a second that he
sees his duty with regard to the Vic
tory loan, and seeing 1t will do 1t.

Fourth. the provisions for disar.

Fifth, IL the jurisdiction and pow

adequate. u.
Sixth. the league still fails to pro-
vide any machinery for the applica-
tion of the principle OF self-determin-
alton, without which there never can
be peace. Until this principle is full
ly recognized and the machinery for
its peaceful application provided for.
any league of nations would be sim
ply a vast machine based upon militia
ry power to oppress and hold in sub
lection all small nations and to .steril-
ize all progress.
Seventh. It still fails to provide
any check or control whatever upon
the part of the people over the five or
nine men within whose unlimited and
underlined discretion rests the ques-
tion of peace or war. 1t still remains
not a league of peoples. not league
of free nations, but league of dip
lomats. of officials, of imperialists. 1t
still leaves it in the power of those
five or nine men, assuming now that
we are going to live up to the provis-
ions of the league, to commit us to
war"

SENATOR BORAH OPPOSES
THE AMENDED COVENANT
Idaho Solon Declares Revised Pact IS Unaccept
able-League is Not One Of Peoples. but
Diplomats, He Asserts.

Washington, April l4.-Senatol
Borah of Idaho, one OF the leaders OF
the opposition to the league of ma
tions, gave. out.fa statement tonight
declaring the covenant. as revised
was wholly unacceptable. Analyz-
ing the amended constitution, he sets
forth seven instances In which il
failed to meet the fundamental OBJ
jecttons raised against the original
document. and concluded:
The real issue is now formed and
the real contest now begins"
Senator Borah has just returned
from a speechniaking tour against
the league OF nations In the middle
west. He. expressed the opinion that
the attitude Of the people in that Sec
ton was swinging to opposition to
any league OF nations.
Il do not say that the majority of
the people there are against all
league OF nations now," said Senator
Borah, Il do not undertake to say
how they will regard the amendments
made. They were undoubtedly op-
posed to the league as it was first
presented. But do say that many
people in that section are coming
around to the belief that the United
States had better stay out of all Eu-
ropean broils and entangling allianc-
es and that the trend of sentiment Is
In the direction of opposition to all
leagues" a.t
Senator Borah enumerated the in
stances In which the amended cove
nant fails to meet vital objections as
follows .-.s.... .l..
Ennmerates Objections.
First. that the proposed league
would commit US to alliance with
European and Asiatic powers and
oblige us to take part in the ordinary
conflicts and turmoils OF Europe.
Second, that we will assume the
tremendous obligations of guarantee
ing the territorial integrity and polit-
ical Independence of all nations mem
bers of the league, and the argument
is that all nations are ultimately to

BATTERY b NOT LIKELY TO
GET HOME FOR SOME TIME

Private Clarence Grant of Battery
B, 146th artillery, arrived in Nampa
last Monday, says the Leader-Herald,
wearing q wound stripe for wounds
received in action ON Nov. 2, when
the battery was helping to reduce the
German strongholds around Mont
faucon, one of the stragetic points
where the Boche held on desperately
during the last big offensive ON the
Meuse. A fragment from q high ex-
plosive shell struck one of Private
Grants legs, causing vicious wound.
He said the general belief over there
was that Battery B was stuck" for
q while yet and would not likely be
home until well into the summer.
Tell the people OF Idaho that Bat
terry b was there at all times and in
every sense Of the word" said Pri-
vate Grant OF q Leader-Herald repre-
sentative. I'VE went into the field
early in July, during the desperate
lighting around Chateau -Thierry.
and were in the thick of 1t most of
the time from then on until the arm
istice was signed. We took part In
practically every offensive of any i'm
portance that was. staged on the wes-
tern front after the start at Chateau
Thierry. We helped pave the way
for the doughboys In all of the
smashes and the organization has
won a splendid name for itself in the
A. e. F.
Yes, we were mighty lucky, con-
sidering all the engagements in
which we had a part. Only one 9TH
er man besides myself was wounded.
That was Carl McIllwain, one of the
Montpelier boys who went to the
Border with us. When I left the or
ganization on November z all the
boys were In fine spirits and were
feeling fine. All of the old gang,
except a few who were away at school
were there and some new ones who
were sent 10 us. Bob Laing was first
sergeant OF the company, having
been promoted after Don Lamson
went TO the OfEicers' Training School.
"It surely seems fine to be back In
Nanlpa. and it's fine to see how inter-
ested everyone Is in finding out
about the Battery B boys. 1t shows
that the folks at home were backing
US up and that helps a whole lot
when the boys are at the front. Ill
bet there wasn't anybody here whd
was a Stacker on Liberty Bonds, Red
Cross. or Battery B subscriptions. !.
''The men received a number of
shipments from Battery b Auxiliary
and I can't imagine anything that
could have been more appreciated.
The boys over there in the Battery
swear by the auxiliary. They viii
never forget the members OF the aux
iliary and those who helped them to
look out for u.s.

Notes On The Game

The two outstanding stars of the
big victory were Houser at end, and
Hollis at half. Few prep teams. can
show two players as good. Houser's
catching of forward passes was one
of the features of the game, and that
long run by Hollis over the goal was
the kind that makes you thrill all
over.
Cook L., at the left end played a
star game. He was unusually good
Friday,
L%abrunierie seems to be using his
head this year at quarter. His va
ried attack and g~eneralship of the
team was all that could be desired.
That short pass for the third touch
down, when the collegians were look
ing for a line plunge was a pretty
piece of head-work.
Two other men who deserved spec
ial mention are Hubert and Moore
in the line. Moore especially, fought
hard. When he and Houser collided
in the second half, "Gobbo" had five
teeth broken off. Did he leave the
game? He did not.
Wentworth's line looked ragged at
times. The Backfeld was Ane. Cook
D, showed that he will be the same
old star with a little more practice
