Swiss Have War Problems.

Geneva, May 2O.-There are nearly 100000 Englishmen, Frenchmen, Russians, Italians, Americans, and Serbians now in Switzerland who will receive protection from the Swiss Fed era1 Government in the event of Ita1y's entrance into the war. From a military standpoint all four Alpine Swiss borders will be closed. AL though the Government has receiv- ed formal guarantees that Swiss neu- tra1ity will not be violated, it has taken stringent measures to safe guard the frontiers.
 There is no thought, however, of a general Swiss mobilization. The
 most important question concerns the food supply for more than 5000 900 persons who soon may be sur rounded by a wall of bayonets. Hope is expressed that the belligerent gov ernments will give their aid.

Berlin, May 2o.-Maurice Som born. the naturalized American cfd- zen who was elected from the Ameri- can Embassy by Ambassador Gerard because of insulting remarks he made about President Wilson and Secretary Bryan, was arrested by the police to-day.
 Somborn made a bitter speech in a leading Berlin cafe, attacking Sec retary Bryan and other Washington ofT1ciaIs. When he was arrested he declared he had lost his passport and the police finally. agreed to release him that he might look for it
 SomboFn's passport will probably be sconhscated at the instance of Ambas- Eadors Gerard who considered him a hrebrand in the present crisis. He will be expelled from Germany in all 1keIihood.

MARSH FOR GOVERNOR.

Iowa newspapers are indulging in
much favorable comment ons the sug.
gested candidacy of Hon. w. w.
Marsh for Governor next year. It
is well known among the friends Of
y. Mr.. Marsh that he is not no seeking
any political office, but the pressure
promises to become SO great that he
may be expected to throw his hat
into the ring: II he DOES, he will
probably have no opposition in the
primaries and the fight for election
will VT be an aggressive one. Next year
Iowa democrats must stand shoulder
atoashoulder, tremendously together to
face the oposition. No better candi-
date than Mr. Marsh could be Of
S5fered by the; democratic party and
we hope that he will consent to be-
come a candidate. !r "A 7,

JUDGE SULLIVAN TALKS ABOUT
WAR AND POLITICS.

Judge Jerry B. Sullivan, chairman
of the board Of United States general
appraisers at New York City, re-
sponded to Governor Clarke's address
at the Homesteader's convention in
Des Moines last Tuesday. In an in
terview with a Register and Leader
representative he talked about Mr..
Bryan and President Wilson.
Mr.. Sullivan is wise man, who
can read the future with as much
certainty as any man in the coun-
try. What he says about public men
and measures is entitled to more
than ordinary consideration.
I He. said that New York was the
hot bed Of a lingo press that was
clamoring for war, but should war
come New York would expect Iowa
and the other western states to fur
nish the soldiers to do the fighting.
II am satisfied" he said i" that
the masses of the people are we'll
satisfied with the way the President
is handling the situation. He will
pull US through our difficulties with
Germany without war, and yet main
tain the dignity Of the nation
- do not believe there was any
serious difference between Mr.. Bryan
and the president" Mr.. Sullivan
said. "Mr. Bryan is a conscientious
man and he had at heart the inter-
ests of peace. He had concluded
treaties with three-fourths of the
civilized world and he did not want
to be in situation where the prin-
ciples for which he was contending
could not be followed. have no doubt
however, that if any serious difficulty
should arise in which the dignity of
the nation was involved, Mr.. Bryan
would stand just as firmly for hay
ing it respected as would the Presi-
dent" ssss.s54.9. gGlf. IS

= The imperial government believes

American citizens.
There would, therefore appear to
be no compelling necessity for Amer

that American citizens can protect

OF their presence on board.
Germany merely followed Eng
