Washington, Feb. 2S. Summer
maneuvers this year for the Iowa Ma

possible as a result of the failure of
Congressman Hull to induce con-
gress to increase an appropriation
to pay the expenses of these maneu-
vers from $1,OOOOOO to $4,OOO,OOO.
During the debate Congressman
Hull said the sum of $1,000 900 car

pay for the food the national guard
would consume if it went into sum
guard needed the encouragement of
this summer camp, after it's ordeal on
the border, unless congress wished
to encourage it's disintegration. He
added that the Iowa National Guard
was not properly trained on its Dor

proper equipment for training. More

complained against for its treatment
of the guard. The item failed by

During this debate Congressman

Would Give Money Away.

Sioux City, Feb. 2S.-Amos Krals-
mer yesterday afternoon stood on a
crowded business corner and held
$500 in bills in his hands offering to
give bank note to anyone who
would accept it, Bills thrust in the
faces of passers-by were scorned,
and twice Kralsmer was showed into
the street.
Only two persons took the prof
fered money, a newsboy and a mes
senger boy.
Each received so, then officials of
the bank from which Kralsmer had
drawn the money came out and
forced him inside.
Physicians say he is unbalanced
through hearing of relatives who
have been killed in the war. He will
be sent to the insane hospital al
Cherokee.
