SAME STORIES ARE STARTED BY
GERMANS IN ENGLAND
TALES WORK MISCHIEF HERE
Women Workers Discouraged BY Pro-
poeanda-Report Gossip To
Police and Nail, Lies
Where They Start
(By GEORGE T. Bye

London, Dec. 1.-two of the largest
newspapers in the middle west recently
asked the Reciprocal News Service to
run down the report that the American
Red Cross was selling the sweaters
and socks, knit by women patriots, to
our fighters in France. .-~
Rumor Is a Lie
From among an inquiry conducted
among soldiers and sailors in England
and France, it is possible to reply con-
.clusively that the rumor is a lie.
That our women are easily diseour-
aged by this sort of German propag-
arda is shown in the announcement
here today mat $4,000 wives, mothers,
sisters and aunts are not doing their
part. England had these rumors by
the dozen in the early part OF the war,
but the staunchness of the women
triumped over them.
e Be a Detective
The way to triumph is easy, Let
every woman who is liberty worker
constitute herself detective in gov
eminent service. Let her be on guard
for every suggestion or rumor that
might influence her to be negligent in
knitting or food economy. Then let
her report to her local chief OF police
the name of the man or woman, neigh
Dor, chance acquaintance, grocer or
miIkman who haA transmitted the par
alizing thought to her. This will
cause lots of pain to the thoughtless
but otherwie innocent people, but Will
have two gratifying results. The rum
or starters will be tracked and caught
as enemies of America and justice.
The thoughtless but otherwise innoc-
ent folk will be roughly educated to
the life-and-death policy of sitting
gossip that might hinder the spirit OF
our people. ''
Spike tie German Lies,
English women have not only spik-
ed the German rumor that their knit
ed supplies were being sold to their
beloved Tommies, and as early as
1914, but also kindred false reports
that the offerings we're accommodating
SO fast that they were rotting in
damp Easements, that some of the
knit and sewn goods had to be thrown
away secretly to save the Red Cross
from embarrassment, that German
agents were sprinkling glass among
bandages so they could not pass in
spection and that the war would be
over soon and the woman's efforts
wasted.

Will Use River Ice.

The c., B. & Q. railroad plans to
purchase around 1900 tons of ice from
the Iowa Sand and Gravel Company
of this city. The ice taken from the
sand pits along the Des Moines river
was tested last winter and found to
be 90 per cent pure. With favorable
weather conditions the ice harvest
near IOskaloosa should yield around
5000 tons of ice this winter.

Washington, June 30.--The wet
and dry" battle in Congress drew near
to close today with the defeat OF
bone dry" prohibition certain. 1t Is
all over but bit OF defeating ard the
formality OF recording a vote carrying
out the Presidents will. Whiskey
making must stop but aeer and wine
can stay awhile, at ieast--this will be
the Senate's decision and there Is
every reason to believe that the house
will concur in it,
Administration leaders hoped 10
bring all amendments to the bill itself
to a vote before adjournment today
but more conservative predictions
were that the measure would not be
disposed Of until next week Altho
the Democratic "drys" have bowed TO
| the Presidents wish to except beer
and wine making from the prohibition
provisions OF the Republican "drys'
were still determined to continue the
/ fight today This obstacle, along with
objections to various other chases Of
the bull probably will hold up a vote
4 for several days.
So far az the immediate effect on
consumption il concerned the c0un
try win hardly notice the prohibition
the Senate is going to enact Nt
lone's thirst for liquor will 60 hnsat
Il listed because OF the Senate's prOiii
! bition plan. Il won't effect beer and
! wine and viii only prevent the fur
, ther use Of foodstuffs In the mannfac
ture of whisky and other spiritu0us
liquors.
Unless every indication today is
reversed President Wilson has won
complete victory on the prohibition
question demonstrating once again
his grip on Congress and his de.rrmin-
alton to conduct the war according
to his own plans. Until the President
! took hand yesterday bone dry pro.
hibition seemed almost certainly.
His plea to the "drys" not to force
the fight if II would delay the much
needed food control bill, won many
converts Immediately, among them
Senator Sheppard, the dry leeder.
However, the "wets aren not out
of the woods yet, even II bone dry
prohibition has been dltched. The
'drys" today made 1t plain that they
had q craad not IN nrpgc thnir fioht nn.
cause they do not wish to do anything
that might ieopardize tae successful
conduct of the war and they declared
their determination of rnewing the
struggle whenever national interest
permitted.
