FEW CLAIRE MEDALs
Former Service Men Sow to Call
for Government Gift.
Distributing Officers Urged to Make
Utmost Effort to Reach All En-
titled to Victory Medal.

WashingtOn.--Vict medals are
being applied for so slowly by ex-serv
ice men that Maj. Gen. p. G. Harris,
the Sdjutant general of the army, has
notified the officers in charge of the
distribution to make the utmost effort
to reach all who deserve it. 1t is es-
timated that 1851 ,624 men who served
In the army are entitled to the medal,
but to date only 379,214, or about 10
per cent of the number have applied.
Applications are coming in at the rate
Of only $500 day, which is far be-
low the capacity for issue Of the work
ing crew in the Philadelphia general
supply depot. The quartermasfer has
put on a large force, and these men
are being held at much expense to the
government
ut is no more difficult to make out
a form for the Victory medal" an
nounces General Harris, than it is to
fill out a money order blank. This
form verifies the recipients service and
his present whereabouts. 1t will pre-
vent the medals from falling into the
wrong hands. The governments gift
Is q work of art, not bauble, and has
intrinsic as well as sentimental value.
It cannot be sent out to unverified adj
dresses, any more than Liberty bonds
or war insurance checks, many OF
which have been lost before reaching
the ADDRESSED in spite of all possible
care.
1.-The ex-service man has only to ap-
ply at the nearest army post or re-
cruiting officer in his home town, or
through any patriotic society," such as
the American Legion or the Veterans
of Foreign Wars. Here he will be
shown how to fill out his blank, and If
his discharge papers are correct the
application is forwarded direct to Phil
adelphia and the medal mailed within
a week. Hundreds of applicants have
given wrong addresses, and many med
ais are returned daily by the post Of
fee because the men cannot be To-

THE EFFICIENCY RECORD OF
GOVERNOR DAVIS

A most important test Of the eff
ficiency and economy Of a state adj
ministration is the tax rate. One of
the strongest recommendations OF
Governor Lowden's administration in
Illinois is the manner in which taat
states taxes have been kept down in
a time of abnormal price levels. On
the other hand, the increases OF the
tax rate in forth Dakota is one OF
the best .gnme nts in favor Of the
contention that the nonpartizan
league regime has been failure. A
governor WHO can show reduced
levy can go up for reelection with a
powerful argument in his favor.
Such a governor is Davis of Ida1o.
He has made good on his pledge
that the cabinet form ol state gcv-
eminent would bring administrative
economy. The state levy in tiaho
next year will DE three mills less than
the year before. Of this one mill is
directly due TO increased earnings and
reduced expenditures OIL the state ue-
partments.
Going more into detail the reader
will find in another part of today's
Spokesman Review and interesting
exposition of the business-like meth
DDS of the Davis administration. The
states finances are shown to be in
nd TO m n
administering surplus funds conser-
vative and profitable.
Admiration is due Governor Davis
for the manner in which he has kept
his promises and has made the cabi-
net form a progressive, workable
method of conducting the states bust
ness.

turn of the total foreign commerce

The business Of the shipping board
was handled through fOrty-nine

ports and 1868 per cent of the i'm
ports, or 27.9 per cent OF the total
business. Baltimore and Philadelphia
ranked second with ten per cent, and
New Orleans third with 7.6 per cent.

LOUvAIN TO BE MODERN CITY
New Up-to-date Structures Replace
Those Raced by Germans
In 1914.

Louvain, Belgium.-From the ruins
of Louvain, to which the Germans ap-
piled the torch on August %, 1914,
are springing dozens Of modern build
ings.
They lack the historic interest OF
the destroyed structures, but no city
IN Belgium will be able to boast Of a
more up-to-date appearance than Lou
vain when the work of reconstruction
Is finished.
The city presents to the stranger
an unusual appearance-masses of
ruins here, new ive-story buildings
there, with the old, undestroyed
buildings in sharp contrast.
No efforts have yet been made to
rebuild the famous library. The Bel
gian government, however, is grad
ually finding in Germany traces of
many Of the priceless manuscripts
and other books looted from the IL
brary by the Germans.

NO SPIRITED CONTEST

The political campaign in Latah
county has been carried on in quiet
way, the rival candidates seeming to
have been inclined to let matters drift
without putting forth any special ef-
forts in behalf of their candidacy
None of the contestants for office
have conducted spirited campaign
such as usually characterized the cleo
tons of past years, but what has been
dOne, has been in quiet way without
arousing the ire of opposing candl-
dates which generally results in pre-
cipitating spirited contest and puts
pep into the campaign. While there
has not been the usual excitement and
enthusiasm displayed in this election,
which may be disappointing to some,
yet the quiet campaign is not without
it's advantages as there is sure to be
fewer sore spots to heal after the
contest is over-Juliaetta Record.
Tomorrow is the "battle of bal
lots and many more candidates will
be defeated than elected. Let us all
forget the campaign Wednesday NOR
ming and begin anew the work for
bigger and better Moscow; a bigger
and better Latah county; bigger
and better University and bigger
and better Idaho. Our enemies" and

friends and neighbors the next day
