The population of the county Jail
was doubled this morning when twen-
Mexicans, brought here under the
auspices of the County Farm Labor
Bureau, were arrested, charged with
violation of the county ordinance max
ing it misdemeanor for any laborer
to accept advance money or railroad
fare from ranchers and leave the en-
ploy of the rancher before the money
was worked out.
The Mexicans were brought here to
work for Imperial Water Company
No. 1, and were housed on the 1O1
ranch, four miles north of Imperial.
1t is alleged that they decided, on
Wednesday, to go to work in the cot

ges. Without consulting the water
company superintendent, they left
taking their impedimenta with them
The company told them they were vic.

them to return. They refused, ant
were arrested.

confident that careful driving would
get them home without harm.
At the turn one mile east Of the
business district he saw a stage ap-
preaching, also essaying to make the
turn. Thinking that the stage. whica.
was on the west side of the road,
would turn to the right. Bell kept
close to the ditch, and the two came
together. The stage driver stated
that he could not see the motorcycle
approach.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES SERVICE

While at Des Moines last Monday,
the editor of this paper had the
pleasure of calling on the Hon II.
j. Mantz at the state house where he
is representing Audubon county in the
lower branch of the legislature. We
found Mr. Mantz busily engaged in
the duties of his important position,
and giving consideration to some i'm
portant measures that were up for
consideration that day.
We met many old acquaintance in
the house of representatives and
learned from them that THE Gentle
man from Audubon" was considered
among the most thorough and con-
scentious members of the house. He
has given all important bill due con-
sideration and merit and in voting
on them has been on the right side
He was fully justified in Voting
against the Pitt-Johnston bill which
had for its purpose the creating of a
position for some deserving politi-
clan instead of the interests of the
taxpayers.
Audubon county may well feel
proud of the record Mr.. Mantz has
thus far made, and we hope he will
continue to serve the people in the
future as he has done in the past.

SOME FACTS ABOUT
THE COMING ATTRACTION

The Birth of A Nation which has
had such a big run in all Of the
cities is to be shown in photoplay at
the Crescent theatre in this city Fri
day and Saturday April Is and IA.
II has drawn immense crowds wher-
ever it has been shown and de know
the people of Audubon and vicinity
will be interested in the production.
There are some facts about the
Birth of A Nation that might be well
for our people to know and for their
benefit we are publishing the follow
ing:
There are over 5000 distinct
scenes in 1.-The Birth of a Nation
$4,000 people and 5000 horses
were utilized in making the narrative
Mr.. Griffith worked months with
out let up to complete the picture.
The approximate cost of the prod
uction was 100000. The women's
dresses of the period of 1860 used
up 10000 yards of cloth. over 25,-
600 yards of white material were
sewed into costumes of the Ku klux
Klans.
200 seamsti esses worked for two
months to make these costumes
historically correct and appropria-
tely picturesque.
5000 works and reports on the
history of the Civil War and the
periods Immediately leading up to
and following the great conflict were
searched for authentic data. This
lresearch was conducted by four col
lege professors specially engaged up
on il.
Every piece of ordnance or muske-
try in the battle scenes is an exact
reproduction of the artillery and arms
used on both sides during the war
of the COS.
For the assassination of President
Lincoln. Ford's Theatre, Washington
was reproduced to the smallest detail
/ The scene itself was taken in the
| presence of several eye witnesses
of the actual occurrence. These wit
nesses were in Ford's Theatre the
night John Wilkes Booths shot laid
the great Lincoln low.
| To depict the rayages of Sherman
March to the Sea, city was specially
built to be destroyed before the eyes
of the spectators of the picture.
10000 day was paid for the use
of an entire county in order to re-
produce the wild ride of the Klans-
men.
West Point engineers laid out the

details of the action supplied by
veterans who fought on either side.

Great artillery duels actually re.
produced. Specially prepared shells
exploded at cost of $50 each.

CLOSING IN ON TURKEY

Turkey is surely pressed. The
entente grip is closing upon her, des-
pite the failure 10 cut her communi-
cations with Berlin in the Balkans.
She has now lost Bagdad and the
granary of the lower Mesopotamia
to the British. The Grand Sheeref
of Mecca has set up an Independent
Arab kingdom in the Hejaz. and
holds Mecca and Medina, the hottest
of Moslem cities. Russia has taken
most of Armenia from her, and is
now squeezing her out of Persia,
thus threatening junction with the
British above Bagdad. Another
British expedition, having cleared
the sinai Peninsula of Turks and
thus safeguarding the Suez canal.
threatens Christendom's holy city,
Jerusalem.
Thus the steel ring slowly closes
about Turkey in Asia. Constantine
pie is nearly thousand miles from
Bagdad as the crow flies, while the
Russians in Eurerum are five hun
dred miles away. But though these
distances are great. the collapse OF
the Turkish power may soon make
IL possible LOT the AllleS 10 tHlel inc
capital by the back door
The Importance of these happen
ings to Germany is far more vital
than merely that involved in her
dream of dominion in the near east
through the completion of the Ber-
lin Constantinople-Ba railroad.
They mean that she no longer has
anything to hope from Turkey in
the way of man power. Turkish
troops have been of great service to
the Teutions in Rummania and on the
Russian and Italian fronts. They
were released by the British surren-
der at Kut almost year ago. But
they have had to be recalled to Asia
and, can no longer he expected to
figure in the European situation.
Thus the available German forces
on any given front in Europe are
decreased in number by Turkeys
preoccupation in Asia. Under these
circumstances it should cause nc
surprise if the Allies launched theil
long postponed offensive from Sal
onika, since Turkey could not give
much help to the Bulgarians and
Austrians, beyond defending her owr
frontier

BALLOONS ARE BEING SENT
OUT FROM FORT OMAHA

Officers of the balloon station at
Fort Omaha, who are making flights
every day, frequently across Iowa.
as the wind bears, have been fired at
by persons who appear to have had
no thought of the fact that rifle
bullet striking the bag would cause
the death of the aviators.
Pilot Leo Stevens, who landed Fri
day near Moberly, Mo-, with three
companion officers, Captains Prentice,
Muller and McElgin, has reported
that on landing the party was ap-
preached by two farmers, one armed
with a rifle and the other with a
shotgun, who cody informed them
that they were in luck to droop be-
hind the hill just when they did,
as the farmers intended shooting
down the balloon had they gotten in
range in time.
The national and state laws pro-
vide a penalty of ten to twenty years
imprisonment for shooting at any
balloon, since should the marks
mans aim be correct il means
murder, but aside from the penalty,
Pilot Stevens said he considers it
inconceivable that people in this coun-
try could be so ignorant as TO attempt
the life of ballonist unless in actual
war, when the marksman had orders
to bring down enemy aircrafts.
Warning is issued to all farmers
and others in the radius of flight
from Fort Omaha, that ballons are
being sent up every other day, with
two to four officers, making obser-
vations. and they are likely to land
any place. Not only should they be
safe from murder because they are
human. but these men are officers OF
the army, on duty. and should be
safe from either the animous or the
ignorance of people of the commun-
| ity.
