Washington, June 22.-The police
today began dealing with the suffrage
pickets about the White House with
a firm hand. 1t was ordered that no
banners were to be permitted to be
displayed and twenty policemen were
stationed about the White House
fence to enforce the order.
Miss Lucy Burns of New York and
Miss Catharine Morey of Boston, car
riers of a banner, who refused to
move from in front of one of the
White House gates, were arrested and
taken to police headquarters.
At police headquarters the two BAN
ner bearers were informed that they
had been arrested for blocking traf-
hc and unlawful assemblage. They
we're released on their own recogni-
zance and no date was set for trial.
Quote Wilson's Speech.
It developed that the suhfragists
took their banners out again today un-
der advice of counsel, but that they
had sprung surprise on the police.
Instead of banners bearing inscrip-
tions, characterized as "treasonable"
and Offensive" they bore banners in
scribed with phrases from some of
President Wilson's address.
The banner which led to the arrests
today carried this sentence from the
presidents war message:
I'VE will fight for the things We
have always held nearest our hearts
for democracy--for the right OF those
who submit to authority to have
voice in their own government"
The suffrage leaders said tonight
that an attempt would be made to-
morrow to display banners at the
White House gates. More arrests are
expected tomorrow.

Nineteen SHELLS
FROM j. s. SHIP
SINK SUBMARINE
Captain of American Steamer
Arriving at Atlantic Port Re-
ports Battle With Ger
man U.B0at.

An Atlantic Port, June 22,-The
captain of an American steamer, Just
arrived at an Atlantic port, reported
today that he believed the steamer
sank U-boat on June 4, when two
days out from Liverpool, England,
enroute to an Atlantic port.
In story written today by the
wireless operator on the ship the
captain said:
"We left Liverpool on our home
ward voyage June !. We were run
ming at night without lights. The
guns were cleared for action. We re-
ceived S. o. S. messages from two
British vessels attacked by subma-
rines, but in each case they escaped
after gun battle.
See Shells Drop.
I'VE could plainly see the shells
from these British vessels as they
dropped, but could not see the sub
marines with which they were
fighting.
I'VE were on a zig-zag course and
making full speed when the lookout
sighted lfeboat. We steered to see
what was in it. 1t was empty.
About twenty minutes after pass
ing the empty lifeboat, or about $50
p, m., ships time, one of the gunners
sighted torpedo headed straight for
us. He shouted to the bridge: Here
it comes; torpedo port side
The chief officer, who was on the
bridge, shouted TO the quartermaster
hard starboard.' We swung off. The
torpedo had red head about sixteen
inches in diameter. 1t was about ten
feet long. The torpedo struck US on
the port side a glancing blow amid
ship right near the engine room. Our
ship was empty and we all thought
the torpedo had exploded, from the
terrific noise it made when it hit.
Whistle Sounds Warning.
- Simultaneously the ships whistle
blew short and successive blasts,
which was signal to abandon ship and
man the lifeboats, which were launcil-
cd at once. ; 49, !
THE captain, who had remained on
the ship, found the torpedo had failed
to explode. All hands were then or
dered back OH ship. We were lying
perfectly still for at least an hour.
when the commander of the sub
marine saw our crew coming back |
from the lifeboats and climbing upon
deck he Immediately gave up his /,
chase for two other British merchant
ships and started fot us again. The
submarine was about 1000 yards off |
our starboard.
Suddenly came the command:
Man the guns.
The chief gunner gave the ranges
from the bridge.
when about 900 yards off our star
board quarter shell from our for
ward gun hit it and it submerged.
Again it appeared and our aftergun
hit it and blew away its periscope.
U-Boat Goes Down.
Another shot from our forward gun
:ell right on top or the submarine.
There was a shower of black specks
which rose high in the air, followed
by great commouon, bubbles of wa
ter and light blue smoke arising
from the stern of the U-boat, where
a second before had been the eyes Of
our enemy.
"Our crew, which was lined up
against the starboard rail watching
the battle, gave a hearty American
sheer when the submarine disap-
7eared
Nineteen shots in all were fired,
which is the secretary OF the navy's

STATE BANKS SHOULD VOLUNTEER.

The president Of the United States
has sent out another call for volun-
teers This time 1t is for state banks
to join the federal reserve associations
and help mobilize the bank resources
Of this country against attack from
disturbances created by wars enor.
NOUS demand for funds. 1t ought to be
needed by patriots. The state banks
ought to enlist.
Up to this time it has been largely
a matter OF self interest that kept the
state banks out. Thru business con-
neCt.ons with large banks in the cen.
ters. which were members Of the fed
eral reserve association, state banks so
far have obtained all the benefits with
out assuming any Of the obligations,
National banks are all in the associa
ton because the federal law requires
them TO be. They had been con-
scr!pted. as it were. from the start
The state banks are asked TO volun-
teer.
The federal bank law has now been
changed SO that the national banks are
receiving some new privileges and ad-
vantages in return for their service in
the reserve association and on the
other hand these very changes and new
privileges now make II possible for
state banks 10 come in without loss Of
the very privileges which had caused
them 10 incorporate as state banks
The time has arrived for them to en-
list in the defense OF common cause,
the country's financial credit.
These are times that demand pa
triotism and some sacrifice on the par,
Of banks as well as OF all other patriots,
With billions upon billions Of extra
ordinary purchases to finance for the
war there IS need for the entire bank
ing resources OF the country to be
have been modified, as the ship build
ing plants have been modified and
as the food producers have been mobil-
lied. President Wilson sees that the
money markets and usual credit re-
sources are already disturbed with
merely the second Liberty loan when
three or four more bond issues of equal
magnitude must yet be absorbed with
in a year. He calls for volunteers in
the coun;ry's great bank reserve. The
nationals have been drafted and they
are IN The state forces are needed
and they should enlist for their coun-
trys financial defense Questions Of

SPEAKING OF OTIuMMA.

Ottumwa went dry. Not overwhelm-
ingly, dut dry. While other cities
normally dry were going wet Ottumwa
stayed put.
It is an illustration OF how times
change. The one town which those
who knew Iowa for quarter century
or so ago would have listed as impos-
sible to prohibition was Ottumwa.. 1t
was there that Stormy Jordan held
forth with his saloon The Road 70
Hell" Liquor interests and vice seemed
TO dominate the city. But Ottumwa
voted dry last Monday.
AS an attractive advertisement OF
the city the Monday vote OF Ottumwa
should be put in comparison with the
notoriety Mr.. Jordan ard
his hell saloon afforded Ottumwa.
Ottumwa can stand criticism on the
character Of the city as displayed by
Mondays vote and read IN the news
papers Of Ohio and other states much
better than some other Iowa cities.

with little boy or girl. to have the re-
membrance Of a life crushed out so
horribly with us, for we would always

When the driver Of a car sees num-
Der of children on bicycles, we believe
1t is his duty to have his car in such

HIGH SCHOOL COURSE IN THRIFT.

The Marshalltown high school has
undertaken a course of instruction in
domestic finance, thrift and business
which can remain as the most valu-
able practical education that a young
person could obtain from his school
life. Already the course has produced
remarkable results FOR the stu
dents Of the Marshalltown high school
have on deposit $4,000 in savings
banks Of the city. Most Of It has been
earned by the students al useful la
Dor.
age experience in life Will show only
one man out Of a hundred rich at the
age Of SIS and only four more out OF
hundred with incomes at an age when
the average man has lost his ability to
earn anything, It should dawn upon US
that lessons IN thrift and finance are yet
among the most important lessons Of
life to be learned. These figures as to
financial expectancy are obtained by
the American Bankers Association and
they contain even more startling reVe-
!atlons. Oi every iUV youns men vino
start out in life 70 make their fortunes
ffty-four will be dependent upon 9TH
ers for a living when their LIES work
Is done at age IS; thirty-six will be
dead and only FIVE VIII be self sup
porting with one Of the Ave being the
only one out OF hundred who has
accumulated more than his daily needs
A high school which begins to train
a hundred young men at the average
age Of IS has plenty Of opportunity
to achieve results when that squad
is turned out to begin their cycle Of
forty years In the worlds work. II
one IS turned into thrift and habits Of
accumulation the result will be 100 per
cent gain in men Of wealth at S. years
Of age. IF four are taught merely to
save enough to take care of them in
their old age there will be another 100
per cent gain there and then there are
all Of the ffty-four to be worked upon
that they may not otherwise become
dependents at the close of their lives.
The same testimony as to financial
mortality comes from THE courts 81

zens come to live after they have

RUNNING DOWN CHILDREN.

lSsudI Ndp4oS
In Des Moines on Monday little 3
year-old girl was killed in collision
with an automobile truck that belongs
to the school district. The child was
riding a bicycle and was probably
careless and thoughtless as charged,
but child Is child and has childs
wh,ms and ways and II Is the business
Of everyone who drives a truck or an
automobile Of any kind IN the streets
Of a city to take those whims and waye
into consideration. We can not change
the nature Of children, and most Ut US
would not II we could. for IL Is these
whims and ways that make up child
hood and childhood Is the most oeaut'-
full stage Of human lie. But we can
change our own adult ways by always
bearing in mind what children are ano
what they are apt to do. SO often we
hear II said that children are go care
less. that they run out into the street
at unexpected times and IN unexpecte"
places. But that means that we kno"
their id.osyncrac,es and It Is our bust
ness knowing, TO take them into con-
siderat!on.
We would hate to be the driver OF
