Marshalltown people were greatly
interested in the recent announcement
of the election of William H Bremner

as vice president of the road, in charge
of traffic.
Marshalltown people are interested
in anything pertaining to the Mime

instance they were more interested
from the fact that the two new ex-

A SQUARE DEAL is THE THING

IS stated in last weeks paper, we received
"A long communication from Gen /. ".
Peace which was dey otcd chiefly to sneering at
his opponent and covertly insinuating that this
paper is unfair to him.
In order that our position may be thoroughly
understood. we want to say that the welfare OF
the Republican party is of more importance than
the candidacy of General Peace or any other one
man. Events have transpired that lead us 10
believe that he is not the choice of the voters OF
Polk and Brady Counties-and, perhaps, 9th
ers-and that to save the party from certain de-
feat we deem it advisable that he. step down, un-
less by a fairly conducted primary held at
suitable time, he can demonstrate that we are
wrong. IF this position is unfair, let HIM make
the most of it. We want to see the Republican
partv victorious in this fight and our criticism,
if it can be SO construed, of the COMMITTEES ac-
tion in the matter was from desire that this be
a reality. :.
The manner in which he purposes to handl-
cap his opponent by making impossible condi-
tions does not indicate that the spirit of fair
play is rampant within him, and if seventy-five
davs are long enough for Mr.. Haven, now, why
were they not long enough eight years ago?
Does General Peace want the nomination re-
gardless of whether or not he is the choice OF
the people? Is he willing to jeopardize the
chances of his party by accepting the nomma-
tion at the hands of the committee, when an
other wishes to run, and who onl ly asks privi-
lege that was readily granted General Peace?
He says in his letter he is willing to 60 to the
people. If SO, should it make any difference
to him whether primary was held in December
or in April? If he is so certain as to the ver-
dict of the people why worry as to who will be
his opponent
He says it is claimed that there is consider
able opposition to me in the counties OF Brad
lev and Polk, these two counties particularly.
1t is due me and the people that this opposition
be discussed before them"
Speaking for Polk, we will say that we have
class of people who can not see why, when
they appeal to him for clemency in petty mis-.
demeanor case, he should reserve his mercy
for man who was charged with having vlo-
lated the on several occasions.
They think-and rightfully, too-that II they
are called upon to support the nominee OF their
party they have right to expect that man TO
be one who will hear the claims of the humblest
cititizen as readily as any other BY all means'
General discuss this matter with them.

AS price-hxers, Mr. HOOVER and DR.. GARFIELD
"A are excellent auctoneers-both being able

THE war claims of Germany sound great

WITH Russia and Austria both sick of this
w carnage, isn't it reasonable to assume
that Cermanys "Me, too" can be heard in the
distance?
EVERY time they attempt to fix price on any
- thing, there is step ahead in price, step
behind in quality. How'd you like to be the
coal man?
THERE seems to be feeling that if a few
ncendiaries we're taken out at early dawn
and given dose of cold lead, there might be
cessation of these outrages.
THE statement that nonurion coal miners are
to be heavily penalized for striking sug-
gests the inquiry as to why the discrimination.
Couldn't Mr.. CoMPERs explain?
READING about what constitutes French

that of our boys will be just as good, with

TT the farmers, organized labor or any other
set of men accept privileges at the hands of

U-BOAT MENACE
IS INCREASING
Situation Is Very Serious, "
Secretary of State Lansing
Grave'y Announces.
GERMANS EXCEED BOAST
Wilson for co-operation-Danie Do
ciares Danger Worse Than Naval
Experts Had Any Idea It Could Be.
Adopt Heroic Methods.

Washington.-The flood gates of
frankness were opened by the Govern
.ment and 1t was acknowledged in an
authoritative way that the task of
defeating Germany was stupendous.
borrowing a leaf from the book of
the British and French war commits
-sioners, who have shown great free
dom in discussing the condition of
the Allies with the press, the Secre-
tary of State and the Secretary of the
Interior declared that at the present
rate of destruction by German sub
marines the allied cause was peril
.ously menaced. The Secretary of the
Navy admitted that the submarine
situation was worse than naval ex-
perts had thought it could be.
Last week, said Franklin X. Lane,
Secretary of the Interior, to a joint
meeting of the. Council of National
Defense and Governors of States, Ger
man U-boats had destroyed 100000
tons of shipping. Germany. he as
serted, had food supplies that would
last two years.
Secretary Lansing, while less spe-
might as well wake up to the fact
that the situation is serious said
Mr.. Lansing to a group of newspaper
men. To emphasize in the minds OF
the American people that the war into
which they had entered was to be
no play-war. the Secretary of State
consented to the publication of the
remark.
Here is a list of American vessels
sunk since Germany began her cam
.paign OF ruthlessness on Feb l.

President Wilson and his advisers
were moved to adopt the most hero
ic methods TO speed ship construction.
following receipt of incomplete reports
from reliable sources that German sub
marines in the last week had sent
to the bottom of the sea at least
100000 tons of shipping of the allied
nations.
To every high administration official
the grave danger of the present stu
alton was clearly apparent. The
present productivity Of American ship
yards and the highest probable amount
OF output for the next four months
will not exceed one fifth of the month
ly loss OF shipping from submarine
attacks. This is the estimate of Chair
man Denman of the shipping board.
President Wilson told the delega,
ton Of Governors 1t was the duty of
America to coordinate its energies
so that democracy shall be indicated
and the world shown that the Ameri-
can Government does not live in vain.
He declared that every force in the
United States should be turned to-
ward the supreme effort OF winning
the war.

MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON
Probability That One Committee VIII
Purchase All Supplies Needed by
the Allied Countries.

Washington.-Crea of n central
purchasing committee in Washington
for all supplies bought I'm the United
States for the allied governments was
forecast here by Sir Hardman Lever,
financial expert Of the British war
mission. The committee will supplant
]. p. Morgan & Co.
Discussing the world financial sltua-
ton, the British expert expressed the
opinion that Germany will be practical
ly bankrupt in the credit markets
after the war.
"Our enemies" he said, "fOr all their
bOasted efficiency, have never had the
courage to face their financial prob
lens, with the result that when the
war is over they Will be hard put to
It."
The TeutOnic governments having
pyramided one internal loan upon an
other, he explained. their interest
charges would be so great that he be-
lieved they would either have to repu-
dlate large part Of their debt or face
inability to buy the enormous quanti-
ties Of material they would need for
reconstruction.
The allies. he added, had paid their
way In the war "by the straightfOr-
ward and natural means, by pouring
out their gold. by selling enormous
masses Of American securities. by rails
ing loans." AS a result, ne predicted
that the end Of the war would find the
allies In good shape financially. despite
their enormous permanent debts.

tariffs which were filed some time ago.
The roads were permitted to file a

repects it. The commission rendered
an opinion in the case OF city of Blue.

to cease the practice or requiring con-
