KAISER To RECALL
At 7ACHEs IN j. S.
NEWS THAT REQUEST WILL BE
COMPLIED WITH EXPECTED
SATURDAY.

washingtong, D. c., Dec. S.-Emper-
or William has personal interest in
the withdrawal Of Capt. Karl Boyd
and Capt. Franz Won Papen, attaches
Of the German embassy here.
State department officials have been
informed that as the attaches were
personally appointed by Emperor VIII
liam, he personally probably will give
the orders for their withdrawal. 1t is
understood that officials considered
1t probable that the Berlin foreign Of
flee was prompted to ask what caused
the action of the United States in de-
claring the attaches persona non
grata so that when report Of the
incident is made to the emperor it
may be complete in all details.
The belief prevailed in official cir
c]es that Ambassador Bernstorff would
not be able to inform Secretary Lans-
ing that the wishes of the United
States would be complied with before
Saturday at the earliest.

DEFENSE NOT TO
Be PARTY MEASURE
PRESIDENT WILSON REFUSES TO
LET DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
TAKE UP PLAN.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 8.-Senator
Gallinger, republican leader, told Pres
ident Wilson today that republicans
want the army and navy strengthened
and are willing to cooperate with the
democrats. Later Mr.. lGallinger said
President Wilson had told him he
would not approve Of the democratic
caucus making the defense plans a
party measure.
Senator Gallinger disagreed with
the president on his plan for mer-
chant marine and for raising the
money necessary for preparedness
When the administration shipping
bill is introduced, Senator Gallinger
said he will offer substitute. The
republicans, however, he added, favor.
ed using the merchant marine as naval
auxiIiaries.
Representative Mann, republican
leader of the house, will discuss ma
tional defense plans with the presi-
dent tomorrow.
In conference today, Chairmen
Chamberlain and Hay of the military
committees decided not to introduce
bills they have prepared at this time,
but to submit them informally to the
committees for deliberation
IF we should introduce them now
they might be construed as partisan
measures" Senator Chamberlain said.

PEACE PARTY AUGMENTED.
Second Expedition Scheduled to Leave
for Europe Today to Join
Ford's Group.

New York, Dec. S.-Twenty peace
advocates constituting the second con-
tingent Of the Ford expedition to The
Hague will sail this afternoon on the
andinavian-American line steam
ship Frederick VIII for Copenhagen.
Most of the members Of the party
were unable to make arrangements to
leave Saturday on the Oscar II, car
rying the main Ford expedition.
Undergraduates of Iowa state, as
we'll as other leading colleges and uni
versities, are included in the party
Berlin, Dec. S.-The German press
treats the Ford peace mission only as
manifestation of American &C.
centricity. Local opinion is that the
mission will have but slight chance of
exerting its efforts in Germany or
other belligerent countries, in view OF
the fact that the passports of its men,
bers are good only for neutral
countries.
It would be possible, of course, for
Germany to relax It's regulations and
permit the Ford party to enter Ger
many without passports, but in view
of the German knowledge that the
comes without official in
spiration or the approval Of Washing
ton 1t is unlikely to do so.

Hutchison Lumber Co. and
Two Stores at Agency
Entered During Night
THINK WORK IS THAT
OF A PROFESSIONAL
Door Was Not Blown and
Had Been Closed Again;
May Have a Clue

Four checks aggregating 1859 and
less than $50 in cash make up the
loot which robber or robbers secur-
ed when they opened the safe at the
Hutchison lumber yard and entered
Reynolds and Yeager's general stores
at Agency sometime during Tuesday
night.
The work Is thought by the lumber
yard owners and the officers to be
the work of professional as the safe
door was not blown but the combina-
tion was worked and after the money
and checks had been taken out the
door was locked again. The checks,
OF which there were three, were all
drawn on the Agency Savings bank
and are designated as one of $400
signed by A. L. Buchanan, one for
$420 signed by John Reeves and one
for $50 signed by Belle Carver. Be-
tween eight and nine dollars in cash
was taken from the yard Office also.
At Yeager's store few pennies and
two or three dollars we're taken from
the cash register. These had been
left there at the close Of business
Tuesday evening and the balance of
the firms money which was In the
safe was not touched. The safe at
Reynolds store was not bothered
either and only very small amount
OF money and few articles have been
missed.
No knowledge OF the theft was had
until this morning when the managers
OF the respective stores opened up for
the day. No one heard or saw anyone
around the places during the night.
Citizens say that there were two
strangers in town during the early
evening but their connection with the
robbery is only matter Of conjecture.
The Rodibaugh bloodhounds which
are stationed at Agency were called
but no definite scents were located.
Sheriff G. G. Cremer was called this
morning about $3.50 and has been
working on the case all day. One
trail which seemed to lead toward
Ottumwa along the old roadway.
across the overhead bridge. failed to
bring any definite results
What promises to be a clue was
unearthed this noon by the sheriff. It
was found that stranger was driven
from Agency to Cliffland this morning
where he boarded north bound Rock
Island train. He told the farmer lad,
whom he hired to drive him, that he
was travelling man and wished to
catch the train to Cl1ffland SO that he
could get into Des Moines. The sher-
iff has his description and he is COM
municating this afternoon with the
conductor on the train where the man
is supposed to be a passenger. He
was noticed about Agency this morn
ing but about the time that the dis
covery of the robbery was detected
1t was found that he had left.
A reward Of $40 is being offered for
the arrest and conviction Of the per-
son or persons who committed the
crime. The Agency Protective asso-
citation handles $25 Of this, the lumber
concern so and Mr.. Yeager IS.

IOWA TO Be REALLY DRY
Cossan Says That All Saloons Will Be
Closed and Excess Liquor
Shipped Out.

Des Moines, Dec. 8.-Not only will
all saloons in Iowa be closed on JAN
uary /, but all superfluous wet"
goods will have been shipped out Of
the state, according to information
reaching the Office of Attorney General
Cosson as the result Of recent COM
munication sent out to county at
torneys.
In this communication the attorney
general said he proposed to see that
Iowa had prohibition "in fact as well
as technically" and that he would
make every effort to see that the law
was obeyed. He urged the hearty CO
operation Of the various county at
torneys In this work, to make sure
that the advent OF 1915 would see a
non-alcoholic Iowa. The responses SO
far received, the attorney general
said, have been exceedingly encourag-
ing.
In his letter to the county attorn eys
Mr.. Cosson said that the postponernen
of the enforcement of the prohibitory
law from July 4, as Is usually the case,
until January /, was done with the
idea of giving the liquor dealers an
opportunity Of disposing Of their stock
and fixtures without great financial
sacrifices. That this opportunity is be-
ing taken advantage OF is indicated by
the communications coming into Mr..
Cosson's office.
