Establishment Of r. o. T. Q.
Unit One Of Most Important
Steps Taken During Year
Student Body Active.

The growth and development of the
Boise High school during the last year
has correspondent to the progress Of the
community as a whole. With a pres
emit enrolment Of 1907. hundred more
than year ago, and with baseball
basketball and track teams that
showed championship form, the high
schools history has been a notable
one.
The establishing of an r. o. T. C.
unit, Lieutenant Colonel John F, Wall
commandant. is perhaps the most sig
nal step that has featured the record
of the years events. Coach Fletcher
and 20 boys organized a cadet unit in
September 1918, and the spirit and eff
cheney of this corps was such that upon
the investigation OF Captain Mcneil
the instituting of a reserve officers
training corps unit was authorized and
Colonel Wall detailed in charge. A
battalion of four companies was or
ganized with personnel of $50 boys
early in May, 1919, and drill was car
ried on at the Boise barracks grounds.
TRIP TO PRESIDE
Fifty-two boys of this battalion were
given an opportunity to go to the Pre-
sidio at San Francisco, where they re-
ceived military training with all their
expenses paid. These men afforded
nucleus for the building of the r.
0. T. c. last autumn and drill has been
carried on with enthusiasm. A liaison
society has been formed, with those in
the r. o, T. G. as members. The gov
eminent has promised to equip the
boys in the r. o. T. c. with uniforms
and has already furnished rifles Boise

west having a junior unit Of the r. o.

GOOD ATHLETIC RECORD

maintained it's reputation for teams
that win. The basketball team OF
1888 beat Nampa twice by decisive
scores, buried Meridian. AZ to Ia; de-
feated Gooding. 35 to %. and after los
ing to Caldwell and Weiser defeated
both these quintets-Caldwell, 80 to z,
and Weiser, 80 to 81.
The baseball team of 1919 lost to
Twin Falls at Twin Falls, but defeated
the Twin Falls nine later in the season.
Last years football team passed
through hard schedule creditably.
With only two letter men back the
Boise eleven lost to Nampa, Caldwell
and Gooding and defeated Meridian
Weiser and Payette.
A strong basketball team for the
season of 1919-20 is looked for. No
games have been played as vet.
The track team, captained by Arnold
Cooley, defeated Baker City, Ore, in
a dual meet held at Boise by 921s

Rebels Attack Monterey

Mexico City, July 14.-Monterey,
capital Of the state Of Nuevo Leon,
was attacked by German Villareal to
day according TO reports received by
the war office from General NJ. Perez.
Trevino, chief Of military operations
in that state and General Arnulfo
Gomez, chief Of operations in Tamaul-
ipas. General Pablo Gonzales, former
candidate for the Mexican presidency,
e said to have been responsible for
the attack on the city General Ire
vino. Comes and Porfirio Gonzales
governor of Nuevo Leon, are taking
necessary steps" against Pablo Con
Zules, according to war office state
ment.
The report Of the fighting at Mon
terey Fl ON General Comes, was given
out at the war office late today by
the government press bureau. Belief
was expressed that General Villareal
had not attacked the city with any
serious intention of capturing it, but
lad sought TO join forces with Pablo
Gonzales. General p. Elias Gales
secretary of war said that Pablo
Gonzales had been responsible for re-
cent uprisings in the northern states
He said General Villareal had $50 men
and was being pursued by cavalry
commanded by General Rios zertucht
in the direction of Topchicoe, Nueyo
Leon.
General Gales announced he haI

ROOSEVELT REPLIES IN
POSITIVE TERMS TO THE
HARDIN rs AL.LEGAT TONS
THAT WILSON WILL BOSS
THE DEMOCRAT CAMPA| GN

Hyde Park, N. Y. July 14.--Frank-
lin d. Roosevelt, replying at his home
here today, to the charge Of Senator
Harding that President Wilson had
forced the Democratic presidential and
vice president nominees to accept his
views that the league Of nations,
should become the dominant campaign
issue declared he was quite willing,
as l know Governor Cox also is, TO
let the American people decide whether
they will go back to the condition OF
1914, or whether they will join with
civilization and humanity in the great
step forward.
"The great attempt Of Senator
Harding. yesterday" he said, ito befog
the true league of nations issue, by
dragging in the name of President
Wilson, is merely further evidence
of the historical fact that a certain
type of senatorial mind cares more
about squaring an ancient grudge
against an individual than 1t does
to consider the true welfare of the
nation. II is, Of course well known
that seven-eighths of the opposition of
these senator's, is not to the league of
nations, but to the person of the presi-
dent Of the United States itself.
History will take care Of the
great part Woodrow Wilson has played
but the Democratic party enters the
campaign with the clear-cut issue
purpose of providing that the world
war has not been fought in vain.
Senator Harding says; Should the
Democrats win, the treaty and the
league will be ratified He is right;
no one, probably not even Senator
Harding himself, knows what would
happen should the Republicans win.
One branch of his supporters such
as Senator Hiram Johnson, assures
that nation that a Republican victory
means no league Of nations. Another
branch led by such men as Former
President Taft, assures the nation that
Republican victory means ratifica-
ton. with certain underlined reserva-
tons.
Therefore Senator Harding's state
ment is the usual vague. summoning
for the opposition of bogies and imag'
mary hosts from the horrible pictures
of American soldiers waging war in
Poland. Russia, and Turkey; and at
the end he talks in glittering terms
about the change OF IA surrender Of
the republic.
II owe nothing in my success to
Senator Harding. to Senator Penrose,
TO Senator johnson or to any OF their
followers.
Rather, believe they are the
only ones who fail to visualize the
great future and the independent III.

Fatal Accident to Resoluie

Sandy Hook July 15.-Resolute, de-
fender Of the Americas cup, parted
her throat halyards, which support
her main sail, while leading sham
rock w. by about a half mile in the
turning point in today's race Of the
1920 series.
Resolute was standing for the mark
on the port tack when the throat
halyards parted and the gaff came
half way down the mast. Skipper
Adams, kept on sailing.
Resolute turned to outer mark at
2:52:34, headed back for the finish q
run Of 1-5 miles, with her two head
sails drawing her club top sail swing
ing helpless. Her crew meanwhile
made every effort to replace the brok'
en- rope.
Turning at 2:57:39, Shamrock pass
ed the almost sailless Resolute at
o'clock.
Shamrock overstood the mark and
wore around with wide berth as
she slipped past her rival.

Sandy Hook, n. j., July 15.-An

TWO sloops that are the pride or

and Resolute, defender, dazzling in
her coat of white.
Aboard them were Capt. William p,
Burton and his crew of British tars
and Capt Charles Francis Adams,
second, OF Boston, with his Yankee
shoremen.
With the start set for noon from
the Ambrose channel-light vessel, the
rival shippers conversed with their
nayigators regarding weather and
wind conditions which would determine
the course 10 be set them by the race
committee. They knew that the rules
called for q Windward and leewari

direction OF the wind alone would
the course be started
A ten-knot breeze from the south
west and a smooth sea were the fav-
orable conditions at $50 this morn
Ing for the first race.
Both shippers were hopeful O..
bringing the races to a brisk and de-
cisive close, with three straight sue
cesses, but both were prepared t.
sail five races and to start all over
again another day if a race was
declared off because the yachts failed

With the Shamrock ~, because OF
her great sail area, giving the de-
fender handicap Of seven minutes

question OF which it was more blessed
