MANCHU'S LEADER

London, July .16.-According to a
dispatch to the Daily Mail from Tien
Tsin diplomats in Peking met secret
ly to discuss the extraordinary
transfer Of General Chang Hsun from
the Dutch legation where he had
taken refuge during the fight between
republican and imperialist troops last
Thursday to the German barracks.
Apparently a majority Of the diplo-
mats think that Chang Hsun by re-
fusing mediation and thus causing
loss OF life, forfeited the rights Of
ordinary political offenders.

U. s. Marshal Reed Rounds
Up Men Who Did Not
Register

Matters took a quick turn today and
startling developments are expected
within the next few hours in the local
federal court in connection with the
cases OF alleged 'slackers." and citi.
gems Of German connection who are
said to have made seditious remarks
against the government OF the United
States and its policies.
Charles Allen an officer in the Sal
vation army was given preliminary
hearing at a. m. today before U. s.
Commissioner E. R. Mitchell, charged
with failure to register on June 5, the
national registration day for the new
army.
THOUGHT HE WAS 81.
Allen told U S. Marshal Reed, who
arrested him, that he thought he was
over 81 years of age on June 5. Testi-
|mony introduced at the hearing show
that two years ago when he was mar
ried he gave his age as a.. Other
evidence tends to show that he Is now
20 years old.
He was held to wait the next SEES

sits in October. His bonds we're fixed

was brought before Commissioners
Mitchell on the same charge and his
hearing continued until 8 o'clock to-
morrow. He is under $500 bonds.
TAKES UP HOME WORK.
Marshal Reed has been so busy with
work all over this part OF the state
that he has had to neglect the home
district until now.
He has called Deputy Marshal
d. C. Crowley from Keokuk to assist
him and they will be her e here dur.
ing the greater part of the week to
make final "clean up" Of the local
cases OF which there are said to be
many.
MANY REPRiMANDED.
Close Investigations of several al
legged reasonable utterances by OF
tulnwans have been Investigated and
are expected to result in arrests al.
though they may end with severe
reprimand from the marshal.
Many thoughtless persons have
made remarks here during the past
six weeks which have called for an in
vestigation on the part of the mar
shal.
So far they have only resulted In a
sharp calling down" and the incl
dents have been closed.
These up today are expected to go
farther.
OTHER WORK TOO.
All of the work before the marshal
and his assistant together with the
commissioner is not along this line
though.
There are several other cases ready
for investigation. so many. that 1t Is
expected a full week will be spent by
the officers before the slate is clean.

LAW BREAKERS
ARE ATTACKED
Attorney General Havner
Flags Those Who Put
Selves Before State

Declaring that il the price Of pofit-
ical'preferment In Iowa Is to forget the
oath Of office then he is not willing to
pay the price Attorney General H. NJ.
Havner outlined his views on Citizen
ship, Its Duties and Responsibilities, !"
at the regular morning service Of the
Main Street Methodist church yester-
day.
Speaking from the pulpit in the alb
sence OF the pastor, Rev. G. A. Field,
the states attorney general emphasiz-
ed the fact that It is we'll to know both
sides OF question before opining on
1t and was strong in his statement
that no man, who through living or In
fluence helps his fellows to violate the
law, is patriot or good citizen.
Oftcer No Judge.
IT IS not the duty of an officer to
determine which law shall be enforced
and which shall not" said Mr.. Hav-
ner. If the oath of Office means any.
thing to him then place In the public
service is an ONCE Of public trust and
faith and should be treated as such.
Each man must do his part. No
man is entitled to the protection Of the
law II he is not willing to help bring
Offenders to justice and to obey the
law himself.
WHAT IS LIBERTY?
Men have come to think Of liberty
as the unrestrained action and will of
the individual.
We do things our ancestors would
blush to think much less do. Many are
incliued to throw about themselves a
cloak Of sophistry, call it high thought
or advanced theory and be good citi
zens SO long as doing so does not inter.
fere with their personal ideas or plans.
IF liberty means unrestrained
license then Russia's upheayal and the
French revolution we're liberty.
NEED ENFORCEMENT.
What we need in Iowa is not more
law but better enforcement Of the
laws we have on our books. More re-
spect for them is the crying necessity.
When law does not coincide with
a mans Individual ideas then he re-
sists. And he brings the church into
It. l lay down the challenge to any
man who reflects upon the church this
query, Would you be willing to live In
your community IL there were no
churches in it,
"It Is simply question OF which
element WILL dominate the political af-
fairs OF the community.
"The high standard Of Christian cit
izenship. which is needed in Iowa will
crush down the contending forces and
the energy will be spent in right liv-
ing"
TOUCHES ON WAR.
During his talk Mr.. Havner spoke
Of the war and expressed his fear that
the people OF America and especially
in this section of the country have not
awakened to the seriousness OF the
task before them.
He declared that the thirty-s1xth and
thirty-seventh general assemblies of
Iowa have made themselves immortal
through the enactment OF laws for the
protection Of the Iowa home and fam.
lily.
Going more into detail he outlined
the mulct law repeal and the passage
of the red light Injunction law.
The years Of 1915 and 1917 were
called red letter years in the annals
Of Iowa's legislative history.

The first clause of President Will

OF the national guard
for the war became effective yester-
day. Under 1t, all guard units from

Actual concentration Of troops IN

gan today. Approximately one-half OF
the total strength Of the national
guard, or more than $4,000 men. Is
Included in the force assembling.
The first step in their preparation
has been to send to the armories addi-
tional clothing for the mems trip to
the divisional training camps. Full
campaign equipment will be issued at
the big camps, reducing the amount OF
to be transported with the
troops. Supplies at divisions are be-
ing concentrated in the depots estab-
ltshed In the south to feed the guard
units.
70 END GUARD DUTY.
Rapid progress is being made in re-
lieyine guard regiments which have
been in the federal service since the
declaration Of war guarding property.
This work will be taken over largely
by civilian watchmen.
II will be necessary to retain guards
men for the protection Of certain big
munition works and other property VI
tai to the conduct Of the war.
The next step in the general mobili-
zation will be the ordering Of divisions
to the camp sites already selected for
them. A full supply OF tentage is avail
able, department reports show and the
divisions will entrain as rapidly as the
Of the departments from
which they come and Of those In which
their camps arc located agree as to
dates.
OFF FOR FRANCE SOON.
Departure of the guardsmen for
France, It was indicated today, will
be governed by the shipping problem.
War department officials regard many
divisions OF the state troops as virtu-
ally ready now for the intensive train
ing behind the fighting line In France
which will prepare them for their
place in the trenches.
