TOO MUCH TERRITORY

In last weeks interview with
Prof. Robertson the Courier Reporter
took in too much territory. We quot
ed Mr.. Robertson as saying that he
was confident the soft fruit crop was
killed. When we wrote soft fruit we
were not thinking of pears. Mr.. Rob-
ertson said that while the pear crop
had undoubtedly been nipped he was
not prepared to say to what extent.
Many of the local growers who have
carefully inspected their orchards are
of the opinion that there will be fair
pear crop.

WASHINGTON, ID. a., FEB H.
Rejecting President Wilson's advice,
house democrats in caucus last night
went on record a. opposed 10 univer-
sal military training, by a vote Of l06
to IL. The president. in letters to
democratic leaders earlier in the day,
asked that action be withheld 50 the
party's stand might be left 70 its ma
tional convention.
Rejection Of the presidents appeal
was double in its scope. for before
declaring against military training

1T is the sense Of this caucus, de-
clared the resolution adopted. that
no measure should be passed by this
congress providing for universal com
pulsory military service or training.
Though not binding on the demo
cratic membership of the house, the
caucus decision was interpreted by
Representative Caldwell, Of New
York, who led the fight against the
caucus action, as precludiug the pos
sibility Of universal training being
incorporated ia the army re-organiza-
tion bill. soon TO be brought before
congress. In a statement after the
conference. he said:
Unless there is considerable
change i'm sentiment on the democrat

parent there are not enough republi-
cans who favor universal training to
include il in the reorganization bill.
Nevertheless il ;s anticipated that
both houses will have a vote on the
universal training proposal, for Il is
included in the senate bill, and Chair
man Kahn Of the house military com
mittee. which is framing the house
bill. reiterated his intention of press
ing adoption of the plan.
President Wilson in his letter. pre-
sented at the caucus after being
made public. declared any action that
would make the proposal a party is
sue would be unfortunate.

voring universal training. reflected
