A new baby sleeps nearly all the

can soon take q long sleep in the

DIES MONIES, Dec. 21.-Des Moines
has planned a hearty welcome home
for the First Iowa infantry regiment,

six days to muster the companies out.
Whether the men will be able to

WHAT HAPPENED
DECEMBER IA
Germany Reported Victory on Ypres
Salient, But England Tells How
Teutons Were Defeated.

TBy William Philip Simms, United
Press Staff Correspondent
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, Dec. 1S.-(Delayed.)-
Once again the notorious Ypres
salient has earned a place on the
wars score board.
The German official wireless on De-
cember IA gave the impression of an
important local victory scored there
by German troops and said they
stormed and occupied British second
line trenches southeast of Nllebeke,
the garrison of which fled"
Here's exactly what happened at
9:O5 on the night of December IA:
A strong German attack was
launched against the British southern
haunch of the salient. Expecting the
attack, the British got the stormers
under a deadly fire, so that when the
Germans reached the British there
were only ten Of the attacking party
left. These Immediately scurried
hack, The whole action lasted just
ten minutes. The enemy losses were
believed to be severe; the British
casualties were very slight. All adj
vantage remained on the English side
and valuable information was OBJ
tanned from the bodies Of the dead
Germans. -
On the following day the Germans
again attacked, this time at Hill SO,
nearby. A heavy barrage fire COM
pletely wiped out this attack, not
one man reaching the British lines.
Again the German losses were re-
garded as severe. for despite the bad
weather, it was perfectly plain that
the British fire was effective.
Months ago the Ypres salient was
tho scene of some of the hottest
flehting Of the war-the Germans
hurting attack after attack against
the British in an attempt to crumple
their line. OF late "deadman's cor
ner", has almost been forgotten.
"Peace valley" would be more appro-
pirate. considering the fierceness or
lighting at other parts of the line.

SLAVE QUESTION
WAS SETTLED
Neoro from Missouri Refused TO urn
over Wages to Master N'oer
Coming to Iowa.

Would you like to know now me
territory of Iowa became free and not
slave soil in the stirring DAYS before
the civil war? .
A negro named Grant came from
Missouri with his owners consent TO
earn the means to buy his freedom
He tired of working under such terms
and did not turn over his wages TO his
owner. The latter came to Iowa to
arrest him.
The negro sued for writ Of habeas
corpus. David Rorer Of Burlington
was his attorney. One of the pleas in
the negro's defense was the injunc-
ton of the Mosaic code Thou shalt
not deliver unto his master the ser
want that is escaped from his master
unto thee"
/ The court held that a&lave coming
to a free state by the consent of his
owner was not fugitive and not SUD
| iect to arrest. In this case the prln
! chile was established that the free
/ soil of Iowa makes a free man.
