LOCAL RAINS WILL
NOT Affect RIVER.
DIES MONIES FALLS ABOUT NINE
INCHES DURING PAST TWEN-
TY-FoUR HOURS.

The Des Moines river has registered
a nine inch drop during the past twen-
ty-four hours and it is not expected
that the local rains this morning will
have any material effect upon condi-
tions here.
Eddyville reported an inch Of rainfall
this morning but the river there is still
slowly falling. The guage on the Mar
ket street bridge this afternoon reg
istered fifteen feet and two inches,
while at the same time Thursday It
showed a mark OF fifteen feet eleven
inches. The water in the cellars along
South Market street is beginning to
recede, being especially noticeable in
those places which have outside stair
ways. When at its crest the waters
were up over the third step while now
the bottom step is showing. Others
have no water in them at all and
those places on Main street which
were affected are beginning to recover
from the small i'll effects occasioned
by the coming Of the water.

J. s. To INSPECT
SIBERIAN CAMPS
GAR is WILLING TO PERMIT
AMERICANS TO INVESTI-
GATE AUSTRIAN CHARGE.

Washington, D. c., June 4.-Emper-
or Nicholas of Russia has responded
favorably to President Wilson's per
sonal letter conveying request by
Austria that provision be made for in
specting Siberian camps where Aus
trian prisoners are held.
Following unsuccessful negotiations
through usual diplomatic channels, DR..
Constantine Dumba, the Austrian am
bassador here, asked President Wilson
about two months ago to send per-
sonal letter to Emperor Nicholas. The
request was the result of reports that
Austrian civilians and prisoners Of
war were not getting proper treat
ment. The AUSTRIAN government ask
ed that the inspection be conducted
by American Red Cross agents.
The answer, delayed because of the
absence of the emperor from Petro-
grad, was brought here today by Ray
Baker, private secretary to Ambassa-
dor Marye.

DANIELS F0REsEEs
WARS IN THE AIR
cABINETMEMBER PDEDIcrsTHAr
AEROPLANEs WILL BE I'M
PROVED SOON,

Annapolis, Md, June 4. Prediction
that war air craft of the not distant
future will be as fearful engines of de-
struction as the dreaded undersea
craft, was made by Secretary Daniels
in addressing the graduating class of
the naval academy today.
In the European war;" he said,
there have been no surprises, no
startling victories, no crushing defeats
that could be called decisive. Slaugh-
ter there has been unprecedented, but
the character Of battles that STAN
peded an enemy by taking him un-
awares, has passed away. The effec-
tiveness Of the hanking movement has
been seriously impaired. Why? The
soaring scouts carry messages from
trrEch to trench, and sudden alarms
that resulted in the routing of mighty
armies became ancient history when
the modern engine and gasoline en-
abled man to conquer the regions Of
the air.
What we have seen in these swift
winged, eagle eyes of the army or navy
is but the dawn of the coming day
when we shall make the heavens carry
our war craft as easily as we navigate
the sea with cur dreadnoughts."
Secretary Daniels spoke of the mar
velcus development of the submarine
and added:
"Almost daily you ara startled to
read of the torp edoing of mighty YES
sci by these small undersea stilettos.
The submarines precision of aim. It's
deadliness of execution, it's ability to
do it's deadly work and disappear In a
moment challenge the worlds wonder.
ut seems only few days ago that
we were wondering If the submarine
would become a really important part
of the feet. Today many are serioualy
debating whether our giant craft will
continue to be the backbone Of the
squadrons that constitute a country's
protection.
The last congress expressed its
faith In the submarine by voting the
money to build twenty-six new sub
marines. three Of them to be of sea-
going type. Of size and power never
before contemplated. What Of the fu-
ture Of this newest naval arm? He
would be a rash man who would in
prophecy limit it's possibilities.
Secretary Daniels drew lesson
from the European war in pointing out
addition to other indispensables, self
that the graduates. in order to attain
high places of honor, must possess, in
mastery.
