Idaho is Preparing
to Spend Big Sum

This state is paving the way to
spend thousands of dollars during
the coming summer and fall in the
erection of new buildings at state
institutions. On June 10 the con-
tract for the administration building
of the Lewiston State normal will

cost $150,000.
On the same date the contract for
an addition to the administration

provements are being made on build
ings at the University of Idaho at
Moscow, the Idaho Technical Insti-
tute at Pocatel1o and the Idaho In
dustrial Training school at St. An
thony.
The improvements at the latter
place call for the expenditure of $780,

The German contemporaries will
in the opening section argue for tive
existence of Germany's contractural
right to a peace based on President
Wilson's fourteen points, because the

peace be established on any other
basis.
The second section will deal with the
contradiction between the draft of the
treaty and previous assurance from
entente statesmen and the general
ideals of international right.
The counter-proposals will declare
that the terms of peace completely
ignore the fact that Germany has re-
placed an ,imperialistic and irrespen-
sible government by strictly demo-
cratic one and that Germany in her
proposals for a league of nations has
adhered to the principle of limita-
ton of ornaments.

UNCONQUERDD GERMANY

The Huns threw up the sponge in
order to save their land from inva-
sion. With their territory intact,
their propaganda machinery in ex-
cellent working order and strong
hopes of creating sympathy for their
plight" as well as a possibility of
creating differences in opinion among
the allies which would tend to
tighten, to some extent, the final
terms of peace, the German people
welcomed home their soldiers as
"conquering heroes" Berlin went
dance crazy, the returning troops
were rendered ovations and the peo-
pie, with no sense Of the enormity
of their crimes or shame because Of
them, confidently expected to win at
the peace table by means Of clever
strategy what they had been unable
to gain on the battlefield by force
of arms. In welcoming home the
Hun troops, Premier Ebert declared:
mo enemy overcame you You
protected the home land from inva-
sion, sheltered your wives, children
and parents from flames and
slaughter, and preserved the nation s
workshops and fields from devasta-
ton. You can return with heads
erect"
Ever since the signing of the arm
mistice. the people of Germany have
persistently declined to admit them
selves vanquished. They have sung
and danced and drunk and made
merry. They have relied on the
Wilsonian fourteen principles to save
them from paying more than nom
inal penalty for the nations crimes.

no admiration from the fact he wa
doing his duty.

very nicely
To Whom it May Concern
All he has got to do is stand
Just where he's put, with club II
hand,
And on his hat a rosy band;
All he knows is. one demand:
Hey, Buddie, got pass?"
But when this bloody war has passed
1--WE hope that this will be the last!
Dark looks will still be at him cas-,
Because he, always in the past,
Said: Whoa there, got a pass?"
Oh, we'll we know this army life
With peace and Joy is hardly rife,
It's full Of itch and slum and strife
But what cuts thru us like knife
Is: Hey, you, got a pass?"
And some day when we all are free
To reminisce of Gay Paree
And all the things we got to see
In spite of brig and grim M. P.
And: "You guys got pass?"
Well sit and think and say SO, too

It'd had the same effect on you),
AS have some guy, eyes fixed like
glue,
Say: Soldier, got pass?"
But when he lays his club away
For issue of harp and wings some
day, H.
Up to the Golden Gate he'll stray.
We hope right there Saint Peter'll
say,
Hold on there, got pass?"
We know that then he'll hang his
head
And cuss his hat-band that was red,
The brassard, club, and all he said
In days before he yet was dead

 YEAR IN BASEBALL.
Ban Johnson Says National bSport Will Be Better / Than Ever in 1919.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan- 2-Baseball 1s back and has come to stay. That is the consensus of opinion gleaned from the New Year statements of President Ban Johnson of the American Lea gue- John Heydler of the National League and Chairman August Herr mann of the National Commission. Their statements are all brimfu! of Optinism-they predict great things for the national pastime during the coming season.
 '"The game will go right along on a safe, firm footing" says Hermann. land the Reds will do all they can to better their mark of last season.
 "As to Manager Mathewson l can- not say positively. He does not as yet know whether his military duties will claim him next summer or not. and the managerial question can there fore be left open for while.
 q will not be surprised if the long rest given baseball will prove to be the best thing that could have hap pened to the sport" says John Heyd- ter. During the layoff the fans wil> have had a rest that should make them eager for the fun to start and the leagues big and little will have time to mend their fences,
 "Unquestionably many things in baseball can be changed or bettered. but these reforms will work out in due time. The thing now is to get the game going again. with the sup port and firm cooperation of the public. A great part of the 1919 cam- paign-by far the most picturesque | portion of it a1l-wilI be the recep- tion given to- the boys who joined Uncle Sams fighting forces,
 Ut will take some little time to ad- just affairs of the game" says Ban Johnson That is the mean reason for the American League preferring a shorter schedule, opening May 1. I hardly anticipate any serious quar- rels or actionnl rows As to the Ma tional Commission, I already have gone on record for Garry Hermann. I want him every day, today and to- morrow and all the time"
 The National Baseball Commission will meet here next Monday. The financial budget will be approved. Hermann said today that the com mission would not organize for next season until after the joint meeting of the American and National leagues in New York. January 16. Johnson.

WILLIAMS AND ' MADDEN BATTLE TO FAST DRAW Local Light Heavyweight Holds His Own With
 Bart Madden. WILLIAMS MEETS
 COFFEY SOON Larry Also Has Battles Booked in Syracuse and
 Jersey City.

According to the Evening Bulletin of Philadelphia, Larry Williams. the local light heavyweight, was not beaten by Bartley Madden last night. The Bulletin issued a Final Sporting Extra immediately after the light and although 1t does not give story, 1t gives the bare facts, which are as follows:
 Larry Williams of thls city and Bart Madden of New York, battled six rounds to q draw In the semi 61nal."
 Down in Philly they claim Larry as their own because he began his lighting career there.
 A local morning paper gave the light to Madden but 1t can be seen from the above that 1t was a draw. The Bulletin Is one of the most re- liable sporting papers in PhillT and their decisions are generally accept ed as the most authentic.
 Williams will box Jim Coffey in about two weeks and as Madden has decision over him there should be no reason why Larry should not get another name added to his column of Kayos. Williams has also been matched to meet Leo Houck in liar risburg and Kid Norfolk .n Syracuse. dFrom there he will turn back to ter sey City, where he will again meet Clay Turner, the Indian, and then Bill Brennan, in the same city.
 It can be seen from this that Lar ry will be a busy man for a couple of months and will have to do some stiff training to keep in condition for the coming bouts
 Louie Bogash, the lightweight who Sam Driver has under his wing, will also be busy man if MT Driv- CTS plans materialize. Sam is now trying to match him at some of the best clubs in Lowell, Boston, Law renee, Portland and Pittsfeld and there Is no doubt but what he will, as Louie Is a pretty popular boy up Massachusetts way.

The game, a feature of the annual Rose tournament, was played at Tournament park before 22,000 per- sons. Soldiers and sailors, with plentiful sprinkling of marines, occu- pied stands at the ends of the field as guests of the Tournament association, and their yells and songs blended with the blare of two bands and the shouts of the thousands in the other stands.
 The weather was ideal, being cool. with a light breeze.
 William Dietz,coach of the Marines, expected his team to lose. Before the game he said:
 T am sending my team into the lrame today expecting to he beaten. but we will lose only after a hard fight" The superior weight of the opposing team was given as the ground for his pessinlisn.
