LOCAL ROADS NEEDED FIRST.
The coming legislature will no
doubt consider measures looking to
ward the building of a north and
south wagon road. Gov. Alexander
enthused over this proposition prior
to his last campaign for governor, and
we remember hearing him say in one
of his speeches that the people of
north Idaho could drive to Boise over
the new road to eat their Christmas
dinner. That was three Christmases
ago and the road is not yet. Reminds
one of the Christmas dinner the
kaiser didn't eat in Paris.
Far be it from us to decry any un
dertaking that would benefit the
state. We want to see Idaho prosper.
But we don't see how the state as a
whole would be benefitted by the ex
penditure of several million dollars
of the people's money for a road from
north Idaho to Boise. At least not
yet. Nobody from the northern coun
ties ever has business at Boise, and
such a road would attract only occa
sional auto tourists. Its scenic value
would be its chief asset, and not one
out of ten north Idahoans have time
to look at scenery. The only kind of
a road connecting north and south
T . . ■ 1 .
Idaho that would be of practical bene
fit would be a railroad.
The state could go into the road
business in a way that would directly
benefit Hhe whole population. It
could work out a plan for building a
system of trunk roads all over the
state, one or more in each county,
and there would be no opposition from
the taxpayers. The people would
heartily approve of such action. Take
our own section, for instance. The
. ,
peopie would unanimously endorse
the building by the state of a trunk
road from Bovill Moscow and
would cheerfully pay any extra
within reason to help put it through;
but they would not willingly pay
taxes to build a road from Whitebird
to Boise. What good would a road
between these points do them? —La

Voluminous promises of legislation
were made to "benefit" the farmers,
, . ,,, ,
and to benefit the working classes
to gam votes.
But the people voted on specific,
program of class legislation and the
state needs most of all a plain busi

for a dollar expended.

OTHERS TAKE PRHCEDENCE.
It is the height of impudence for
Genaany to try to put herself in the
front rank of the bread line. She be
longs at the tail, not at the head, of
that procession. The needs of the
allies must first be supplied, then
those of the hungry neutrals. After
that, Germany may expect some con
sideration, but not to the extent of
any pampering. So far as the United
States is concerned, we shall have to
divide our surplus up among many
Medy beneficiaries, and friends will

DABE DAYS AHEAD OP HUNS.
Dark days are ahead for most of
th« German cities. In such an un
settled condition as that which now
prevails in Germany the centers of
population suffer most severely. The
riots in Berlin may be only a fore
taste of what is to follow. Mean
while Coblenz, Cologne and the other
Rhine cities will be assured of a reign
of law and order. Under the rule of
the soldiers who are still technically
Germany's enemies the Rhine cities
will fare far better than the other
cities that are fully under German
control. —Cleveland Plain Dealer.

American Doughboys Faced
Three Fortified Defense
Systems.
NOTHING COULD STOP THEM
Interesting Description of One of the
Last Big Fights in Which
Pershing's Troops Were
Engaged.
With the First American Army.

tween the Argonne and the Meuse
; when the Alnericaus burst through

The advanced Jlne, the enemy's old
line, called the Hagen Stellung; his
intermediate line run a kilometer or
two behind it, according to the config
uration of the terrain, hills, streams

Stellung. Behind that ran his main

At their first bound the attacking
waves of doughboys swept over the
first two fortified zones with their
barbed-wire entanglements cut to
pieces by the preliminary bombard
ment, and In several points they pen
etrated the Kremhilde Stellung, which
pivoted in the Aire-Meuse sector on
Monkfaucon.

snult troops were in the trenches

down the stairways Into the under
ground bombproof shelters before the
Boches could get upstairs.
Reducing Strongholds.
Between the three different lines of
Intrenched positions the Boches had
installed series of strong points, ma
chine gun nests, sometimes emplaced
* n concrete and steel pillboxes, or else
mercjly set in strong, natural, com
manding positions. The system for re
ducing these strongholds was identical
with that already practiced by thb
enem y ; n i ds various offensive opera
tlons.
troops going forward in open order,
worked their way between the strong
points, often by worming along for eon
siderable distances on their stomachs,
or by crawling on hands and knees
through woods or along ravines. Ar
riving in the rear of these positions,
The advanced waves of storming
they established contact with one an
other and proceeded forward, leaving
snipers to work their way back in the
rear of the strong points and pick off
the Boche machine gunners in many
cases,
It was the job of the succeeding
1 waves of assault, with their light ma
chine guns and their little trench mon
I tars mounted on light, two-wheeled
■ carts hauled by man power to reduce
| these strong points with or without the
a *d of artillery, tanks, or airplanes,
The most advanced waves were en
tirely safe from the machine gun po
sitions once they passed them, as the
Boches usually could not work their
guns toward their own rear, the em
placement having been organized with
a view to firing ahead or on the flanks
only. Furthermore, if the Germans
fired toward the rear, they would re
veal their presence to the succeeding
attacking waves which would put
them out of action before they could
swing around again.
Why Casualties Are Light.
, It , 1 ® becaase tbe a « a ÇMng waves

formation and behind a curtain of fire
of bursting shells, a creeping barrage,
that casualties among attacking
I trocps were so much lighter than any
I one unfamiliar with these tactics

The doughboys passed Montfaucon,
which was a hive of machine gun
nests in their advance toward Nnn

, practically surrounded that the last
j enemy resistance was crushed there.

Those patrols which entered from the

through the ruins of shell-shattered
houses right up to the front of the
town, where they sniped tl
machine gunners In the backs, as they
were firing on American patrols ad

taken from the deep da gouts 50 and
