Many in Net.
200 ARRESTS ALREADY
Between 5000 and 10000 Cars In the
State Are Not Carrying
Proper License
Tag.

United Press Leased Wire Service.
DES MONIES, Iowa, Sept. 21.-At'
torney General George Cosson today
began a campaign for state wide en-
forcement of laws regulating automo-
biles. Announcement Of the crusade
followed two days quiet work by spe-
cial agents here. AS a result nearly
200 automobile owners were ordered
to appear at police station and ex.
plain why they are violating tho
automobile laws.
Letters mailed to every county at.
torney in Iowa declared between
5000 and 10000 autom obiles and
motor trucks are being operated in
the state for which no registration
fee has been paid. This means that
the counties are losing at least $780,
600 which should be expended on the
highways. The letter then calls at
tention to the law that fast trucks
must have license numbers and that
dealers numbers are not to be used
on automobiles sold.
Cosson believes many Iowans are
using licenses bought in states with
cheaper fee.
During August in Iowa there were
thirty deaths, five hundred accidents
and four hundred persons injured in
automobile accidents said Cosson. He
has appointed two agents of his of.
flee to devote their time exclusively
to this automobile crusade.

Story That Censors Confiscated Pen

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
LONDON, Sept. 21.-German propa.
gandists are attempting to stir UP bad
feeling between the United States and
Great Britain by the circulation of
false charges regarding the British
the British foreign office
declared in a statement to the United
Press today.
'"The German wireless news agency.
indeed, the whole system of German
propaganda, loses no opportunity OF
endeayering to create ill feeling be-
tween Great Britain and our friends" /"
said the foreign office. when the
facts canot be distorted as to serve
the German purpose, no scruples stand
in the way of deliberate mendacity.
"A recent wireless message stated
that veterans of the American civil
war residing in Germany had failed to
receive their pensions for several
months, alleging that they had been
abstracted by the British censo-s.
The allegation that British censors
confiscated moneys intended for suc,
persons Is wholly false. 1t cannot be
stated too emphatically that notwith-
standing the contraband proclama-
tions and efforts made to intercept
funds enroute to Germany fer war
loan or other purposes, his majesty's
government has given strict instruc-
tions that no remittance from the
United States to either Germany or
Austria shall be withheld when there
Is reason to suppose that such remit
tances are intended for the bonafide
of American citizens in
enemy countries"

LATEST WONDER OF WAR

feet from the ground. The wings are
those of an ordinary aeroplane. but the
body Is shaped like that of fat fish.
The motor is enclosed in the head
and at the sides where the eyes OF the
fish would be, are two windows. The
operator or observer can look out
from above the fish's back or from the
sides through the eyes.
