I ., With the end of the war in sight the
I jearching-out of the slackers and
I j "slickers" in this country will con
1 1 tinue, according to advices from Wash-;
I ington, accompanied hy an order to
I' military and civilian officers to con
tinue their hunt ior the traitors and
see that they arc punished. Many of
I ,! those who have successfully evaded
I ( military duty by failure to comply
i -with the draft regulations, or -have
Rf. wilfully deserted the army and navy
It after they had donned the uniform of :
I .service, must not be allowed to go un-1
punished. The search should continue
until every one is brought to justice. ,
In speaking of the slackers the Salt
1 1 Lake Tribune says, in part:
"All such traitors should bo appre
R hended and punished. All men of legal
age and physically sound arc expected
to take up arms in defense of their
country In time of war unless speclfi-
cally exempted. Those who fail to do
if their duty in time of peril should be
ft deprived of citizenship, whether born
k in this country' or In somo foreign land.
h There are many thousands of slackers,
j, some of whom succeeded in getting
U out of the United States with the in
p tentlon of coming back after the close
B of the war. All such should be arrest
J ed as soon as they set foot upon
Ir ' American soil. Amnesty for such mis
it creants is out of the question. In the ;
it'
ji course of a year or two at most our
men in France, Russia and Italy will :
return home after fulfilling the task '
J laid upon them. Thousands of their 1
j comrades, however, will lie buried in i
i foreign soil. Wo owe it to these men :
j to punish the cowards who would not
take part in the fighting, even when 1
drafted under the law of the land. So i
w let us nil be on the lookout" for slack- i
ft ers." !

tion of that part of her country, which
has been wrecked during the four
yoars of tho great strugglo for the lib'
orty and democracy of the world. The
European republic has asked this
country to provide mon, money, mate
rial and ships to aid in that gigantic
problem of putting her on her feet
again. The request comes from Andre
Tardicu, general commissioner for
Franco-American war affairs.
It is estimated that three hundred
and fifty thousand homes have been
destroyed and tho agriculture, com
merce and Industry of the invaded re
gions virtually wiped out and that tho
French shipping has been reduced to
almost non-existence. M. Tardieu
estimates that it will require ten bil
lion dollars to finance the process of
reconstruction. He suggests that the
American soldiers now upon the
French soil aid in the restoration of
tho requblic and this country extend
credit for about 50 per cent of her re
construction purchases. Ho declares
that "America on account of her im
(mense capacity for production, ought
to give us the first help."
The appeal of M. Tardieu on behalf
of Franco together with the appeals
from Belgium, Montenegro, Serbia,
Rumania and Rusisa will undoubtedly
repeive tho support of the government
and peoples of tho United States.
The destruction which has been
wrought in those countries of Europe,
in the kaiser's effort to carry out his
dreams of world domination, seems al
most unbelievablo except for those
commissioners of America who have
visited the devastated regions. The re
reports are evidence enough for tho
people of this country that they must
render every aid in the revival of the
weaker nations.

REPUBLICANS IN
CONTROL.
With the unofficial returns from
Michigan which indicate the election
of Truman H. Newberry to the United
States senate, there seems to be no
doubt but that tho upper house will
pass to the control of the G. O. P. In
complete returns indicate the Repub-
licans will have 239 members in the
lower house with the Democrats hold
ing 191 members.
Tho new members of the senate and
liouse will have many of the present
Jay war problems to meet when they
take their places in the national as
sembly, and there will be problems of
nuuuuai anu international im
portancethe reconstruction and re
habilitating of a world, which has
been in the throes of the greatest of
. all wars during ihe past four years.
, There is a duty before this country in
tho immediate future which must be
: considered as Americans and not along
party lines. Aid must be promptly
; rendered to the war-stricken countries
of Europe.
Problems' or enormous magnitude
face the United States in maintaining
I her supremacy among the nations of
the world.

AWAKENING OF
GERMANY.
The demand that the Kaisu- and his
regime resign at once and that the
Jcrown prince renounce all claims to
the throne, forms the basis of de
mands coming from tho people of Ger
many, according to the day's dis
patches from Amsterdam. It is added
jthat the Hun dictator has declined to
.accede to the demands that he abdi
cate, declaring that with peace in
sight that ,jt would be disastrous to de
liver the country up to anarchy.
Anarchy in the eyes of the head of
the Prussian emperor would probably
mean a fate for him and his family
such as was meted out to the former
jczar of Russia. With tho thoughts of
Ithe fall of the Romanoffs still fresh In
his mind, the kaiser is going to make
the fight of his life to retain his
throne.
I Whether tho kaiser wishes to 're
main upon the throne of Germany or
not win probably be settled before any
peace conference ie held, according to
the news of tho revolt In many Ger
man cities which has leaked out
through the frontier towns. Revolt is
in the air and the red flag is flying. In
many of the important sea coaBt towns
turmoil reigns. It Is said the greater
part of the Kaiser's immense fleet is
i i revolt and the commander has fled
t) the interior. Soldiers are deserting
from tho front. Everywhere there is
a general awakening of the German
people. They are beginning (o realize
they have been dupes for ho who
would dominate the liberty of the
world. Time very shortly will tell.
STILL HOLD TIT
LlPHjSELECTEDi
SALT LAKE, Nov. 9 Friends at the'
stato capltol of W. T. Lamph of Cleve-
land, Emery county, have not yet con
ceded that Don R. Colton of Vernal
. wP the representative of the
twelfth district in the next state sen
ate. Mr. Colton's re-election has been
predicted several times since the elec
tion of Tuesday, but no definite fig
ures have been printed in Salt Lake
City to prove- that this is the case.
Accurate advices have proved dif
ficult to get. Press reports are that
San Juan went Democratic, which
would indicate that Lamph was chosen
for the senate. Grand county went
Democratic on the state ticket, accord
ing to a. telegram received yesterdav,
giving Welling 100 majority and
Lamph 75. Grand on the county tick
et elected Democrats with the excep
tion of assessor, attorney nnd sheriff.
The returns from Carbon, fifteen
out of seventeen precincts, show a ma
jority for Lamph of 112. Emery, his
homo county, is said to havo boosted
his cause by a majority of 150.
Uintah county is said to havo given
Senator Colton about 250 majority for
re-election, while the returns from
Daggett had not .been received yes
terday afternoon.
Should the prediction that Senator
Colton Avould come back prove truo,
Jt is declared ho would he the only
Republican In tho senate-
Sanpete county's vote on the con
stitutional amendments, as reported
by tho county clork, was as follows:
Prohibition yes, 2906: no 235.

Wei Organized
German Propaganda
In 'Buenos Aires
BUENOS AIRES, Sept. -1. (Corre
spondence of tho Associated Press.)
German propaganda hero has taken in
the form of a well organized campaign
of street corner soap-box speakers
haranguing against the allied black
lists. The speakers base their argu
ments on the high cost of living which
they trace to these blacklists.
Evidently a large number of speak
ers have been engaged, for In all parts
of the business district and at all hours
there arc small groups of listeners
around a speaker who is mounted on a
wooden soap box. And as he moves
from one corner to another he is followed-by
a mounted member of tho
Security Squadron.
These speakers aro advertised as
being members of tho "Liga Pro-Equl-dad."
which might be translated as the
Equity or Justice league. This league
has an office near the business center.
Over the entrance to It is a-shield that
was so prominent during tho Luxburg
neutrality campaign but which had
disappeared, the shield of the pro
Neutrality league, so designed as to
make the office appear to be an office
of the Argentine government.
Tho shield is the same size and
shape as those which designate gov
ernment offices, bears the same kind
of lettering and has In its center the
Argentine national coal of arms.
Las year this shield guarded a door
way at one of the busiest corners In
the city and at the head of tho stairs
was the neutrality office which uas
maintained with German funds, sup
plied largely through the newspaper,
La Union. At the head of the stairs it
now guards tho office or tho "Pro -Justice
leaguo." organized to stir up ill
feeling among the Argentines on the
argument that the allied blacklists are
responsible for the high cost of living.
The only newspaper in the city sup
porting this league is La Union, tho
newspaper for which Count von Lux
burg, the former German ambassador
here, asked and obtained a German
government subsidy of 10.000 pesos a
month.

ON BOARD AMERICAN DE
STROYER, AMERICAN PORT IN
FRANCE, Nov. 1. (Mail.) Kite bal
loons towed at sea by destroyers are
one of the odd devices used to aid in
the hunt for Ilun submarines. A winch
brings down tho balloon to within 12
feet of the deck, so that the observers,
throwing out a Jacob's ladder, descend
for their usual meals at a change of
watch. Within tho wire cable leading
to the gas-bag is a telephono wire by
which the observer keeps in communi
cation with tho deck.
The Americt'in naval aerounauts are

TO PROTEST AGAINST
PROPOSED RAISE IN
FREIGHT RATES
SALT LAKE, Nov. 9 Through the
traffic sorvlcc bureau of Utah tho job
bers and wholesalers of Salt Lake will
enter protest against a proposed ad
vance in freight rates to points outsido
of this city as contemplated under the
zone system or tariffs as outlined by
tho railroad administration It is
probable that the matter will be tak
en up by the interstate commerce com-
miSJfifin nf fl limn t.t trt Krt nnnnnnnA.l
Evidence will be introduced by II. W.
Prickctt, manager of tho tariff service
bureau, to show why freight rates in
tho Salt Lake territory should not be
any higher than between points in
Oregon and Washington and points in
other proposed freight zones.
The zone scales havo been sent out
by the railroad commission with an
Invitation for criticism and sugges
tions. The advice of the interstate
commerce commission Is also sought
under the eighth section of the federal
control act, and hearings will bo had
by that body to the end that the wid
est possible investigation as to the
propriety and reasonableness of the
proposed scales may be made.
"Contention of Shippers
It is contended by tho Salt Lake
shippers that the tonnago density in
Utah is sufficient to warrant as low
affreight rate as that given to other
sections of the country with similar
tonnage, and where the density of pop
ulation is no greater than in 'Utah.
Seventy-five per cent of the popu
lation of Utah is within a radius of '
soventy-fivo miles of Salt Lake and
Ogden, it is maintained, and the den
sity of tonnage within this small area
is greater in comparison than in sec
tions of the United States for which '
the 100 per cent rates are proposed.
Under the zone system it is pro-,
posed to place the territory included ;
in North Dakota, South Dakota, Ne
braska. Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Missouri south of the Missouri river
and tho commonpoint territory of Tex-1
as In the 300 per cent scale. In tho 75 I
per cent scale, with rates 25 per cent I
less than those in the 100 per centl
territory, it Is proposed to place Iowa,'
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Missouri I
north of tho Missouri river. California,)
Washington and Oregon will be placed 1
in the 100 per cent scale. Arizona, 1
New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Wyom- !
ing, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and the
differential territory of Texas, it is
proposed to place In tho 120 per cent
scale, with a freight, rate 20 per cent
higher than that of tho 100 per centl
zone. i
Comparative Figures !
Prior to the war advance of 25 per!
cent in freight rates, the first-class
rate from Salt Lake to Pocatello, a
distance of 171 miles, was 55 cents per,
100 pounds under the scale proposed!
the rate would bo increased to 9S cents '
per 100 pounds an increase of 78 per,
cont over the pre-war rate, and. 42 per I
cent over the present rate.
'Tho pre-war rate to "Green River, j
Wyo., a distance of 212 miles, was S3 :
cents per 100 pounds, which has been (
increased to 1.0-1. It Is proposed to'
increase this rate 1.1-1, an advance
of 37 per cent over tho pre-war rate
and 10 per cent over the existing rate.
From Ogden to Salt Lake, a distance i
of thirty-six miles, the old rate was;
30 cents per 100 pounds. With tho
war advance it was fixed at 37 1-2
cents. It is proposed to increaso this
rate to 4G cents, or 53 per cent above
the pre-war rate and 22 per cent above
the present rate.
The old rale to Provo, forty-five ;
miles, was 30 cents per 100 pounds. I
With tho war advance it is now 37 1-2 p
cents. The proposed new rate will be n
18 cents, an advanco of CO per cent '
over the old rate and 28 per cent over
the existing rate. . j :
Final Conclusions
"I think it will be admitted," said
Mr. Prlckett yesterday, "that the den- j
slty of traffic in Utah is as great, if ,
not greater, than that of almost any
state west of the Missouri river, which ,
will bo used as one of tho most im- (
portant factprs on which to base an
argument for low rates of freight
transportation. The interstate com (
merce commission reports for 1915,
which arc considered fair, show that
the number of miles per 10,000 popu-
lation was 50.11. for Nebraska 49.15. i
for Kansas 51.11, for North Dakota t
74.03 and for South Dakota 63.37.
With one exception, the population i
per mile of railroad in Utah compares
well with that of any state in the 100
per cent zone, and this factor also
will bo considered inJiulcing for a more
equitable rate." r
In making an .argument for rates no
higher than those proposqd for points
in tho 100 per cent 7,oner It will be
pointed out that the tonnage carried
by the various railroads in, Utah will
warrant tho contention During the
calendar year. 1916, tho density qf ton
nage on the Oregon -Washington Rail
way & Navigation ' railroad amounted
to 5S6.4S1 rovonujc tons per mile of
railroad. The Oregon Short Line, dur
ing the samo period, carried a ton
nago of 1,226,960 gross tons, of which
1,094,265 was revenue tonnago. The
Denver & Rio Grande lines in Utah
carried 1,120,S03 tons per mile of road.
Between IlGlpor and Ogden the Denvor
fc Rio Grando carried a total of 2,
245,475 rcvonue tons per mile of road.

Cavalry Arm of
Services Held as
Very Important
FORT BLISS, Tex., Nov. 8. In
creased demand for cavalry to close up
gaps in the American lines caused by
rapid re,trcats of German forces ro-
called the theory advanced by General
Pershing when ho returned from the
Mexican punitive expedition as to the
best methods of training cavalry hors
es. A cavalryman himself, General
Pershing has always held the cavalry
arm of the service closest to his heart.
When his division was encamped hero
it was a long and laborious task to
break the necessary cavalry mounts
and remounts. Ordered suddenly to
pursue Francisco Villa into Mexico,
General Pershing was confronted with
a shortage of trained cavalry horses to
replace those who became saddle sore
or crippled on the long desert march
. In In Aln..Un
His resourcefulness, which has been
demonstrated so admirably in France,
camo to his rescue. Riding over tho
sand hills of western Chihuahua ho
evolved the theory that cavalry horses
were no different from cavalry men In
regard to training. Whore one man, no
matter how brave, will hesitate to go
on a scouting expedition alone, a de
tachment would be eager for the
chance.
"Men and horses aro more or less
alike in their primary instincts," Gen
eral Pershing thought. "Why not try
the mass plan of training for horses
tho same as is done with recruits?"
Next day a column of green cavalry
horses, broken only to the saddle and
bridle, wero taken out to an improvis
ed drill ground and taught the cavalry
maneuvers in column formation.
Charges, retreats, firing over the hors
es heads and all the other lessons In
the education of tho cavalry horso
wero given that day. When night came
these horses were ready for their sol
dier mounts and the training time had
been reduced 29 days by General Per
shing's plan. All cavalry horses for the
expeditionary force were treated in
that way during tho Mexican cam
paign. "Horses like companionship the
same as men." Gonaral Pershing-said
at the time. "That is why they become
so attached to their stable mates and.
their masters. The same holds true in
battle and horses and men are alike in
that they will go In crowds whore
they will not go alone."'

Strike of Priests
In Moscow Caused
By Bolshevik Rule
LONDON, SepL 28. A strike of
priests, in Moscow was one of tho in
cidents of "Bolshevik rule. Bishop And
ronic, of the Perm diocese, A man of
considerable influence among the Rus
sian clergy, had been arrested for his
outspoken opposition to the Bolshevik
regime and all the ecclesiastics in
that district went on strike in protest
against his Imprisonment.
They refused to perform the services
their office required, and the devout
muzhiks and townspeople were great
ly mortified A number of striking
clergymen were arrested, charged with
counter-revolutionary activity.
After a thorough examination by the
local commission for the suppression
of counter-revolution, sabotage and
speculation, they were released upon
signing a pledge that they would nover
take part in agitation against tho sov
iet government nor in connection with
the arrest of the bishop.
What became of the bishop and how
the strike ended, has not been learned.

1 Government Pay $1,500,000
to Write $36,250,0.00,000
in Policies for Soldiers
and Sailors.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9. It has cost the
government only 51,500,000 to write
$30,250,000,000 of insurance on the lives
of soldiers and sailors within the last
year, said Thomas B. Love, assistant
secretary of the treasury, in an ad
dress here today before tho Associa
tion of Life Agency officers. By its ac
complishments in the short period of
twelve months tho treasury's bureau
of war risk insurance "has wrought
the insurance miracle of doubling the
volume of ordinary life insurance in
the world," Mr. Love said.
Mr. Love said that in the last two
months more than 8000 soldiers or
sailors have died of Influenza in this
country alone and insurance which tho
government will pay to their benefic
iaries will amount eventually to 170,
000.000. Premium income collected for
insured soldiers Is estimated at ?143.
000,000 and up to November 1 dis
bursements on account of deaths have
amounted to -1,102,000. These pay
ments are distributed over a period
of years and the aggregate or com
muted value of claims is $122,09S,000.
New insurance has been written" at
the rate of 2,750,000,000 a month, and
it is estimated that 95 per cent of
men in the army and navy are insured.

U. S. Engineers Do
Wonderful Work
In the War Zone
Much has been written regarding
the wonderful work of the American
Engineers In France both afthe bases
of the United States Army and along
the many connecting lines which hook
up the front lines with the sources of
supply. There is, however, another
isido to their activity which is just as
remarkable and praiseworthy espe
cially sinco It is gratuitous and done
after ordinary working hours. It is
tho preparing of fields or enclosures
for the soldier athletics and without
which it would be impossiblo to play
r
many of the games and contests. i
Stories of the helpful work of thi
engineers In this direction aro con
stantly boing sent back across tho
seas along the following lines. Re
cently a Y. M. C. A. athletic director
with an engineer regiment in tho cen;
ter of France felt discouraged regard
ing outlook for sports. There was no
field fit for baseball, football or even
basketball. To relieve his mind he
told his trouble to a sergeant. "If its
a baseball field you want" quoth tho'
sergeant, "we'll have it." i
A rocky, uneven and generally des-!
olato pasturo was selected as tho only
possible placo upon which a ball park
could be builL The physical director,
thought possibly after a year's workj
something might be made of it. That
was before he knew tho engineers
well. It took just three days to "skin"
of the field, level It, roll It and put it
In condition for play, even to tho build
ing of a fine wire netting backstop
and marking out the foul lines with
flags. Tho job was done by the men
after they had put in a hard day at
their regular tasks. Practically tho
whole regiment assisted at one time
or another. !
With the baseball field In operation
it was decided to promote boxing. The
drawback was that there was no placa
to stage bouts except the floor of the"
hut, and the men who wanted to read
or write or listen to the music ma
chine wouldn't stand for that. Asaln
the sergeant was consulted. In three
days he had put up, near the hut, as
good a ring as ever staged a cham
pionship bouL It has a well-constructed
platform, ropes arranged in
the proper manner, padded floor and a
time-keeper's gong. They didn't saj;
whero they got the boards and nobody
seemed to care becauso the officers
who might have been fussy were too
busy crowding into ringside seats for
the oponing performance. These are
but two isolated incidents of what the
engineers do when their help Is need
ed to keep the sport spirit alive.

Efficiency Will I

December 1 will have an absolute and I
positive advantage over the less effi-

heretofore enjoyed, according to warl
department orders recently received D
