MOTHER WOULD TAKE
BLAME FOR HER SON

Cedar Rapids, March ia pathetic
case of mother trying to assume
punishment for crime committed by
her son was brought to the attention
of the police. Monday night when Mrs:
Hodge, mother of Milton Hodge, called
at the police station and tried to con-
vince the police that she and not her
son, burglarized the home OF Elmer
Cole, 912 South Third street west. For
many minutes Mrs. Hodge insisted
that she committed the burglary and
was willing to go to prison for the
crime.
Mrs. Hodge, however, did not know
anything about the articles that were
stolen. She finally admitted that her
effort to take punishment for the crime
was only a determination to free her
son. She said that she would rather
be in prison than suffer as she does
living the life she is forced to live at
present. The police made every effort
to encourage Mrs. Hodge. Her son,
Milton Hodge, as is known, confessed
that he and Ray Ring burglarized the
Cole home.

MANY UNIVERSITY
STUDENTS EARN WAY

Iowa City, March 19.-That a rela-
lively great number of Iowa university
students are working their way
through school, is the contention OF
DR.. Robert N. Renow, dean of men at
S. U. I. who has summarized host
of facts and figures. He conducted a
careful questionable among 424 fresh
men who entered the university last
September, and has just announced
the results. He found that 80 per cent
Of them, 161, were entirely self-sup-
porting and 35 per cent, 14S, were par
TALLY SO.
The Dents" lead with At per cent
of their number self-supporting.
In all, the 800 students who have
supported themselves wholly or IN
part, had saved prior to coming TO
S. u. l. in September, 1914, just $751;
742 and the lis students whose par.
ents had supported them had saved
only $3.50, a total of $S5,502.

TH0RNE SAYS THAT

CHAIRMAN OF IOWA RAILROAD
COMMISSION MAKES CHARGES
AT HEARING.

Chicago March 19-Clifford Thorne,
chairman of the Iowa railroad commits
sion, at the hearing of the western
railroad freight case before Interstate
Commerce Commissioner w. NJ. Dan.
iels, today, charged that the railroads
were Withholding certain witnesses so
that they could not be cross examined
by the commission.
S. II. Cowan of Fort Worth, Texas,
who had appeared on behalf Of the
shippers in opposition to the railroads,
proposed an increase of 2k cents a
hundred pounds on live stock. He an
nounced he had to leave the city and
wanted the railroad witnesses on live
stock to be put on for cross examina-
ton. The question of advanced rates
on cotton piece goods, however, had
been scheduled for today.
"It must be evident to the commits
sion that the carriers objected to put
ting on some of their live stock wit
nesses at time when Mr.. Cowan,
who must leave the city soon, could be
present to cross examine. Them" said
Mr.. Thorne.
s. H. Johnston, assistant freight
tramC manager OF tne chicago Hoch
Island & Pacific railroad, testified
that the present rate on cotton piece
goods was abnormally low. The pro
posed increase, he said, would average
six-tenths of a cent for three mile
haul on a shipment valued at one dol.
lar
The proposed increase is one among
others upon which the forty-one west
ern railroad systems hope to add $1O,,
600 900 a year to their revenue.

PLAN OF TEUTONS
HELD A FAILURE
(Continued From Page -

intact. This will necessitate the find
ing Of new forces for both the east and
the west If she would effectually meet
the increasing strength of her enemies.
1t Is pointed out that the plan to de-
liver crushing blow in one theater
and then to rush across the country
to the other has miscarried on both
fronts. This was seen first in the dash
to Paris, second, in the rush for Cal
ais, third, in the battle of Ypres, and
then repeatedly in the east as Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg sought to
break through the Russian lines to the
Polish capital.
Considerable mystery surrounds the
next move of the Germans, although
the prevailing belief here is that it will
be a big offensive in the west, probably
against the British front.
Great Britain has made no official
reply to the German allegations that a
British squadron fired on the German
cruiser Dresden while she was within
the three mile limit of Chilean waters,
and no denial has been forthcoming or
the German statement that the Dres-
den was blown up by her own crew.
The government is proceeding with
the plan to mobilize women to replace
men needed in the war. Upward OF
700 women willing to substitute for
men have been registered during the
last twenty-four hours.
New Aspect in East
Petrograd, March 19.-The campaign
In the east has assumed new aspect
with the penetration of the northern
most point of East Prussia by Russian
forces. This invasion in the north in
many ways parallels the advance Tito
East Prussia Of two months ago when
The Russian tenth army, which 1t was
thought might flank the German posi-
lions near the Mazurian lakes, was de-
feated and driven out. On this occa-
sion, however, Russian military auth
prities say unanimously that the in.
vasion does not possess a like strate-
Ric Significance. The Russian force
has penetrated East Prussia to within
twelve miles Of the important seaport
of Memel
(The official report from Berlin to-
day, evidently based on later informa-
ton, says that the Russians have en-
tered Memel.)
Austrians Reinforced.
London, March 19.-The Austrians
have received reinforcements and have
resumed a strong offensive in Buko-
wilma, says a Bucharest dispatch to the
Times.

Sunday School Vaudeville Success,

BY an omission last week we failed
to mention the East Ward Sunday
School vaudeville entertainment that
was given in the Ward Hall on the
evening of the 10Th inst. To those
who were in attendance, the enter
tainment needs no commendatory re-
marks from us. 1t spoke for itself.
But for the benefit Of out of town
readers who might be curious to hear
how it came out, we will say that we
have heard nothing but eulogy for the
performance. The numbers were all
well worked up and pleasingly pre-
scented. 1t was financial success, and
enriched the East Ward Sunday
School treasury to the extent of about
$500. Much praise is due the Off
GERS and teachers of the school for
the creditable manner in which the
affair was handled.
We could do with number more
entertainments and theatres by our
local talent this winter. They would
supply needed amusement Of clean,
nigh order without draining the COM
munity of its ready cash.
