real facts of history and more gro
tesquely false.
The French have ben a militar-
istic nation eevr since Chalemagne
They have regularly and constantly
made war upon other european peo-
Mes and invaded other European
countries and disturbed the peace OF
Europe and plundered and looted DC
feated nations for more than -FOUR
hundred years.
Instead of being peace-loying and
war-hating nation, France has been
the militaristic disturber of Europe's
peace generation after generation.
The only considerable length OF
tim during which France did not
bully or make war upon some other
European nation was the Al years
that followed F RANGES severe and
self-invited and well-deserved defeat
at Sedan-a defeat which was ap-
plauded nowhere else so joyously as
it was here in America by the gen
GRAFTON which had witnessed the
great war for the preservation of the
Union and which still had fresh in
mind the dastardly and treacherous
efforts of France to destroy the
Union cause by fitting out privateers
to pray upon our commerce, and by
landing a great army in Mexico to
DEFY the Union armies with attack
ten the Union armies with attack
from the other side of the Rio
Grande.
The younger Americans, and some
of the older. have forgotten all that
but not all of us.
To hear Monsieur Clemenceau one
might think that Germany wickedly
invaded France in 1870, without
cause or provocation, other than a
desire to steal territory and indem-
mites.
The real truth is-and it is dis
grace to any grown American to be
so ignorant as not to know it-that
France forced the war in 1870 upon
Germany, without cause or provoca-
ton or even decent pretext, and
that Germany, after being so wan
tonly attacked, and after having won
such a complete victory, took back
only German territory, filled with
people which
France had stolen from Germany, but
little more than century before and
imposed besides, cash indemnity for
he causeless attack by France of
,nly $1,000, 100000 which Germany i.
enabled France to pay quickly by it ..

MOTHERS DAY"
A proclamation by the Governor.


No fonder or dearer recollection
can be cherished than those OF tina
Mother who directed and protected
us in infancy, who was constan,
solace and refuge in youth, and
whose gentle ministrations and low,
ing tenderness are the greatest
blessings of our manhood and wo-
manhood.
We can do little toward removing
the debt of gratitude we owe our
Mothers and can never fully repay
them for their faithful efforts and
loving care. Realizing the made
ouacy OF any material recognition,
the only act which seems at all APP
propriate is to set apart day when
we may recall the memories of our
childhood and our youth, whose joys
and sorrows, trials and tribulations,
levolved about our greatest infiu-
ence-Mother.
Now, Therefore, in conformity with
an Act of the Legislature providing
for the second Sunday Of May as
Mothers Day, l. c. C. Moore, Gov
ernor OF the State of Idaho, do here

FRANCE IS THE REAL MILITAR-
IST IN EUROPE

Z The average Americans knowledge
OF the part France has played in
European history and in our own
history is best described by Josh
Billings in his famous remark ''The
trouble with most people amt that
they don't know much, but that they
Know SO ALFRED much that amt So"
When the average American talks
ABOUT France at all, he talks of that
nation as brave, peace-loving little
country, that is always ready to
stand up for its rights, but never
seeks quarrel.
He will say, and he believes, that
france has been in terro of foreign
INVASION for generations and asked
nothing but to be relieved of the
menace of militarism and to be per-
mitted to rest in peace.
we think that fairly states the av-
e'age Americans beliefs about

Dear Mr. Wells:
Last week you printed an article
in the Enterprise, why the Dough
boy?" by E. ]. Winner which 1 read
and interested me very much. At
the same time, in middle western
paper appeared the article, France is
the Real Militarist in Europe; taken
from the Chicago Herald and Ex-
aminer which was rather contrary to
some of Mr.. Winners statements.
Mr.. Winner, being student and in
terested in history, will no doubt ap-
preciate reading the enclosed article
which l would like you to print in
your next issue of the Enterprise.
Yours truly,
