IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: The poet
who composed the funeral chant, "Old
Grimes Is Dead" was painfully pre-
mature. Grimes Senior is resident
of Ethel, Indiana, and has six sons in
the army. A committee may investi-
gate the reasons why his other six
sons did not enlist and why his six
daughters are not Red Cross nurses.
Marshalltown Times-Republican
The attitude of the coal operators to-
ward the governor of the state is not
to their credit. The governor should
follow up his hint of force with the
real thing. There is no good reason
why the information requested should
be refused. If coal operators are max
! ing exceptional profits in Iowa the pub
i lie should know it.

! Cedar Rapids Republican: The
American bible society is now asking
for 100000 with which to send bibles
/ to all the boys in the. trenches. But
bibles given out by wholesale through
societies are not nearly as effective as
/ bibles given to the boys by the moth
ers. or the sweethearts, if there is still
ienough religious sentiment left in the
younger generation. Bibles will be
priced for those giving them, more
than for anything else.

ANOTHER LIE NAILED.

Major Donald Guthrie, OF the Canadian eNpe-
dictionary forces, denounces the crimlnally false
talk aboutithe horrors of the trenches part of
the German propaganda to scare Americans.
There is some hardship over there, he says. Lots
of the boys are wounded, plenty OF them get
killed; but there are no more cheerful and con-
tented men on the face of the earth than those
he left behind him ON the western front. They
like their jobs are brimful of confidence and
would not trade places with any civilians IN the
world AS the morale of the Germans has gone
I down, theirs has gone up, and the talk about
the misery in the trenches and the dependency
| that weighs men IS hearts is, says Major Guth-
RE, ''all a rotten lie. -
Statements like this from men who know the
facts should be given wide currency. Enemies
of our country have been sedulously spreading
la different idea with result that many parents
are misinfo1med and depressed at the thought
that their son has been drafted or will be and
will see service in France. If they only knew
how great the chances are that he will come
back SAFE and how much more of a man he will
be on his return and how proud they will be OF
him, they might save themselves much needless
grief.
The death Of DR.. E. Benjamin Andrews gave
some writer's a chance to comment upon his
course as president OF brown university IN 1890
as being like that of some of the professors at
Columbia nowadays. The only point Of contact
between the two incidents is that freedom of
opinion was involved in both. Dr. Andrews in
1896 wrote private letter in which he took a
stand for the free coinage Of silver This letter,
being published, brought criticism and the doc
tor was asked to modify or to withhold his opin-
ions He declined, and a considerable discus
sion arose over what was termed an infringe
ment of academic freedom. DR.. Andrews loyal
ty to his country was never questioned; indeed
he had been a soldier of the republic in the civil
war. His Judgment in a matter of finance and
economics was, Of course, open to discussion. In
case Of the Columbia professors there is the
larger question of the effect of their utterances
upon an impressionable body of youth at time
when the nation is at war There is a great
gulf between this and a matter of opinion in
the field of economies.

About ten minutes later. the distance thena being about two miles, tho sub marine opened fire. Immediately after backing for two minutes our vessel was stopped by tho engineer. Tho first shot went over Cur aerial, and the second brought it down. The firing continued rapidly until our boats were well clear of the ship, when the shooting ceased.
 'The submarine then came close alongside and called No. boat to come alongside the submarine. Five of our men were ordered aboard. and the submarine transferred five of his crew to the lifeboat. He then pulled 10 the Illinois. These men placed scven-ninutc bombs along the side of the ship and in the engine room, which they exploded. Our five men were then taken off the submarinc, and when I asked him to give us tow, he replied, T have not the time' We then proceeded under sail and by rowing for Ordney, and when we were about ten miles off. were picked up and taken in tow by two motor boats
 "The submarine commander took no steps for the safety of the crew. and continued shelline until all were in the boats. The Illinois did not try to escape or resist. One man was in- jured by shell fire. The submarine had no flag showing when first ob- served"

TESTIFIES GERMANS
 ADMITTED BOMB PLOT
Detectives Say Captain and Engineers on Trial Confessed Destroying
 Two Ships.

New York, March 23-Further tes- timony in regard to the alleged con- spiracy by Germans to destroy en- tente vessels leaving New York har- bor with munitions, was introduced by the government today, in the trials of Capt. Charles von Gliest and four engineers of the German merchant man Frederick der Crosse, now tied up in Hoboken. The men are charged with having placed bombs of explos- ives aboard entente vessels.
 Henry Bark, a bomb squad detec- tive gave the names of two British freight steamships which he swore von Gliest mentioned as vessels on which the alleged plotters had placed bombs. One was found afire at her pier in December, 1915, and $100,000 damage was done to her cargo of sugar. Two fires in a week, one at her pier and the other at sea, caused $95,000 damage to the other.
 George Barnitz, also bomb squad detective, testified that von Gliest made statement setting forth that some of the defendants placed bombs on ships in the harbor, usually six or eight bombs to a vessel, with the ex- plosives sometimes placed in sugar bags. "
 The case was adjourned over until Monday, at the conclusion of today's session.
