DISLOYAL VETERAN
IS OUSTED FROM
SOLDIERS HOME

MARSHALLTOwN, Iowa, Dec. 1s.-
The second discharge within sixteen
years for dislOyaI utterances has been
made at the Iowa Soldiers home
where Joshua C. Richey, seventy-one
years old. OF Cedar Falls, Iowa, has
been given a dishOnorable discharge
for having damned the United States
Government and its President. In 1901
the late Commandant Horton dis
charged a veteran for expressing sat.
isfaction over the shooting OF Presi
dent Mckinley.
Richey entered the home only n
month ago from the national home al
Milwaukee. It has been whispered
about among the membership that
Richey was INDUCING in pro German
talk, but nothing conclusive came OF
1t until Saturday. when four witness
es testified under oath that Richey
had damned his country and its Presi
dent.
Although not admitting the state
ments attributed to him, Richey did
not enter a denial. and Commandant
Whitehill issued the discharge with
the remark that only Richey's age
prevented his being handed over to
the Federal authorities.
Richey is a veteran OF Company G..
Seventh Wisconsin Infantry and a
native OF Grant county. Wisconsin.

AMERICANS TO MAKE

American armies are ready to take
the field a very large number of
American skilled workmen will be
sent to England and France to assist
in the manufacture OF munitions, &C
cordins to the Evening Standard.
The view is taken by the members
Of the American mission. according to
the same authority, that It is desir-
able that as much OF the highly skill
ed work as possible be done on this
side OF the water. A mine or a tor
pedo might destroy in a moment
weeks OF the labor OF thousands of
hands, and the risks in that direction
should be reduced to a minimum.
