war have been made at Earlham col

SNYDER FACES
ARSON CHARGE

Initial steps toward rounding up
what Is believed to be band of fire
bugs were taken by county authorities
Sunday when Sheriff Carr returned
from Lancaster, O., with James Sny-
der and placed him under arrest on q
charge Of arson.
Snyder, it is believed, was the man
who fired a barn belonging to Charles
HERS some time ago, and he is be-
lieved to be member of a band of
criminals which has been causing
much trouble by setting fire to a
number of farm buildings throughout
the county in which foodstuff was
stored.
Frequent fires in the country in the
last month has caused county Of
ficials to take drastic steps toward
the discovery of their causes, and If
found to be the work of fire-bugs, to
arrest and convict the person or per
sons who fired the buildings.

President Appeals to Labor For Full Support,
Hits Pacifists and Says Germany Began War;
One of Foes Most Anxious For Peace, He Auers

Power know that II the war ends as
1t stands, they will in effect them
selves be vassals of Germany notwith-
standing that their populations are
compounded of all the people OF that
part Of the world and notwithstanding
the fact that they do not wish in their
pride and proper spirit of nationality
to be absorbed and dominated"
Referring in another part Of his
speech to Russia, the president said:-
May not say it is amazing to me
that any group of people should be so
i'll informed as to suppose, as some
groups in Russia suppose, that any
reforms planned in the interests OF
the people can live In the presence
of a Germany powerful enough to un-
dermine or overthrow them by In
trigue or force. Any body of free men
that compounds with the German gov.
ernment compounds for its own de
struction."

by the president which was Of prime
interest to the delegates to the con-
vention.
Powers Last Stand
The president alluded to the pres
ent war "as the last decisive issue be-
tween the old principles Of power and
the new principle Of freedom.
"I believe he said. that the spirit
of freedom can get into the hearts OF
Germans and find as fne welcome
there as 1t can find in any other heart.
But the spirit OF freedom does not
suit the plans Of the Pan-Germans.
Power cannot be used with concen-
trated force against free people II 1t is
used by free people.

many intimations come to us from one
of the Central Powers that it is more
anxious for peace than the chief cen
tral power, and you know that It

prohibition has lost, the actual official

The suggestion that the thunder

This is the more notable since it was

has been left open to doubt. That
