PEACE LEAGUE IS URGED
IOWA TROOPERS IN
LIST ORDERED
WAR DEPARTMENT DIRECTIONS
ARE THAT 5000 GUARDS RE-
TURN FROM BORDER.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 22.-War
department officials explained today
that some units of the $4,000 national
guardsmen whose return from border
service has been ordered probably
could start for home within few
days and all will be returned for
muster out as rapidly as transporta-
tion facilities can be supplied" Gen
eral Funston selected the organiza-
tions which are to be withdrawn, ac-
cording to a general plan Of relieving
those longest in border service. Troops
from twenty-five states and the Dis
trict Of Columbia are included In the
order
Their departure will leave between
5000 and $4,000 men of the guard
still In the federal service on the Dor
der
A majority of the Iowa troops now
on the border are included in the list
of troops ordered home. The Third
infantry, brigade headquarters. the
first SQUADRON of cavalry, Field Hos
pital No. I, and Ambulance Co., No.
1, make up the contingent that is to
return. The first regiment returned
a month or so ago and the second
regiment is all that Iowa will have on
the border after the present movement
is completed.
No Comment on Regulars.
War department officials continue
to withhold comment on reports that
the movement Of General Pershing's
regulars out Of Mexico soon will be
under way, and the statement an
nouncing the guardsmen designated
for relief does not connect these or
ders with the withdrawal plans in any
way The understanding has been,
however. that with the return of the
expedition in Mexico and readjust.
ment of the border patrol all of the
state troops gradually would be sent
home.
The departments statement said:
General Funston has selected these
organizations chiefly In accordance
with the rule Of returning first those
troops, longest in service on the bor-
der. To some extent. however. this
rule could not be allowed without un.
equal weakening OF the border guard
and the departures from 1t are so ex
planned The total strength of the
organization selected Is 25,243."
Co. G of Ottumwa Is in the Third
Iowa infantry, which means the local
boys will probably be back in the
course Of the next few weeks.

FRACTURED SKULL
KILLS POLICEMAN

Rock Island. H., Jan. 22-Patrol-
man ]. D. Mum was found living on a
fractured. He died in the ambulance
on the way to the hospital, not hav-
ing regained consciousness. While
there are suspicious that the officer
may have been the victim of foul play,
the police theory is that he slipped on
an icy sidewalk and fell in such a
manner as to fracture the skull. Mum
was 40 years old. He leaves wife
and two children.

HEAR HIS SPEECH

Washington, D. c., Jan. 22.-Presi
dent Wilson, in personal address to
the senate today, laid down the ques-
tion of whether the United States
shall depart from its traditional pol.
Icy of isolation and take part in a
world league to preserve peace after
the war.
No such history making event with
such far reaching possibilities to the
United States probably ever had been
1 seen in the senate chamber.
z 8 Shattering precedent of more than a
century, the president, regarding the
senate with it's treaty making power
as his counselor in foreign affairs, ex,
planned why he believed the time had
come for the world to know America s
position.
While President Wilson was speak
ing, his address was in the hands Of
all foreign governments or on it's way
to them
For nearly half hour the president
spoke, with members of the senate,
members of the cabinet and packed
galleries listening with rapt attention.
When he concluded there was ire
mendous burst Of applause in which
many of the republican senators
inined Ne -
When the president had finished
and the senate returned to it's regu-
lar business, Senator LaFollette epi-
tomized the sentiment of all present
by saying:
"We have just passed through q
very important hour in the life Of the
world"
No other president has addressed
either branch of congress separately
since Thomas JEFFERSON did in 1901.
In fact, no president addressed con.
gress in joint session since that time
until President Wilson revived the
custom in 1913.
Presidents Washington, Madison
and Adams frequently addressed the
senate and house alternately but when
Jefferson was inaugurated he began
the custom of sending written mes.
sages
President Wilson's own view of his
speech to the senate was given in a
discussion with a senator just after
he finished his address. He said:
II have said that which everybody
has been longing for but has thought
Impossible. Now 1t appears to be pos
sible."
Comments on Speech.
Senator Tillman said:
~ look upon the presidents address
as the most startling and the noblest
utterance that has fallen from human
lips since the declaration Of independ-
ence because it is based on justice and
liberty, the two bedrock principles Of
modern civilization.
'The program he maps out for our
country Is giants stride in interna-
tional comfy. and it took a giant to
make It,"
Senator Stone. chairman Of the for
eign relations committee. declared the
message was great state paper and
should have a very striking effect up
on the governments and people Of
Europe"
ut is the greatest document since
the declaration of independence said
Senator Newlands.
"The presidents suggestions are
staggering" said Senator Vardaman.
II want to let them sink in before
forming an opinion. But suppose in
the parliament of man and the fedora
tion Of the world some such thing is
coming
Generally members of congress re-
garded the address as food for thought
to the civilized world.

DIAMOND JOE
 VEIN IS FOUND
fFrr. Thur,day,s paflr lIinerl

ALNg9 AhuAsNag DaAAg
 A discovery of the Diamond Joe vein toward the south end of the property has just been made. The ore is said to be of the same character and value as that found in the old workings. The vein below the lower tunnel had never been found on the surface until the recent discovery was made. It is pos sible now that tunnel will be driven in on the vein from a deeper level and the ore bodies penetrated several hun dred feet below the deepest workings.
 The Diamond Joe mine was discov- cred in the early eighties by Manuel Martinez and others and was worked by the discoverers for a number of years. Many thousands of dollars was produced from the superficial work ings, and owing to the failure to use timbers to hold the ground a large part of the drifts caved in. New ground was opened, but it was not as rich as that in the old ore shoots. Un- der the management of Francis E. Wilkinson the mine has been cleared of debris and the workings timbered, making it possible to open the ore body through the old works.
