The even- ing was pleasantly spent in sing- ing and music by violin, piano and mandolin—also dancing and eating everything good to eat. Ed Koelker, who had -been at Sandpoint, Idaho, and Butte, Mont., a couple of years, was here also to visit his brother before the latter left for the army. Ed will remain here for a while. On Wednesday evening ° Mr. and Mrs. Ed Dasenbrook also gave a farewell party in honor of Ben Koelker. A large number of young people were present and greatly enjoyed the evening, in- cluding a very fine supper. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Nuxoll, relatives, also gave a nice party Sunday to Ben Koelker and Avery Gentry,| _ which was attended bya large number of young folks. The Schott, Dasenbrook, Koelker and’ Leo Simon families aceonpanied the boys to Grangeville Saturday. | Secretary Baker Makes Wise Decision. . (Spokesman-Review) Senator Chamberlain, ehair- man of the senate committee on military affairs, announces that Secretary Baker will recommend to congress that the draft ages be made from 18 to 45 years. This is the most heartening news that has come out of the war de partment since Mr. Baker suc- ceeded Mr. Garrison, for it indi- cates that the war secretary’s once clouded vision has grown clear and far sweeping and that he will now follow expert guidance and has shaken off former notions that Germany could be beaten by half or quarter way measures. It has taken months of persist- ent pleading and the hard lessons of this year’s campaign in Europe to convince Secretary Baker that the draft age limits should be ex- tended. Several months ago high officers in the army advised that young men of 19 and 20 be draft- ed and put under training, but the recommendation met with disfavor in the war department and at the White House. Now Mr. Baker goes his counselors one better and advocates the drafting of youths of 18. The Spokesman-Review has thought all along that the draft ages should be carried downward and upward. It advocated the drafting of young men of 19 and their fine training to be ready to go on the fighting line at 21, and has had occasion to criticise Secretary Baker for his lack of military grasp as revealed in his waiting, drifting policy. It is now all the greater pleasure to ap- plaud his present vigorous action. In another editorial the Spokes- man-Review says: For the present at least victory is with the entente allies. That much is undeniable. Even the German press admits it with yary- ing degrees of concession, and even the Kaiser proclaims it be- tween the lines of his last procla- mation. Confession is also made that Germany is war weary and | filled with an intense longing for peace. “We have become spare of figure, subdued in, mind, hard of face,” says the Cologne Ga- zette. “Today in Germany the word ‘peace’ drowns all other sounds,” says the Frankfort Ga- zette, and the dejected remark is added that no peace is in sight and the United States would not let Germany win.” “Wide gaps have been torn in our families and the suffering of this terrible war has spared no German home.” declares the Kais- er, “but the enemy does not yet want peace.” The German spirit is not yet broken, but many signs tell us that itis breaking. There is dis- appointment and despondency at home, and undoubtedly there is shattered morale in the retreat- ing armies. Austrian conditions can not possibly be better and we have good reason to know that they are worse. Conversely, hope of victory is deepening into conviction in every land that is leagued against the Prussian peril. Event on the western line have never gone so encouragingly, and the Russian situation is brightening. The al- lied armies are fighting with splendid spirit and heroic rivalry under a grand united command that now holds the initiative and is using it. It looks like the beginning of the end of the mad ambition of the Kaiser. ee ee Wanted to Rent Farm on Camas Prairie or Reser- vation—between 200 and 400 acres for one year, with - privilege of two or three years and to buy.
