Cedar Falls, Sept. 29.-With dentis-
try admittedly vital necessity in the
army, with record of gratuitous
dental service having already mater
tally enlarged the number of fighting
men in America, Cedar Falls dentists
united today in joining the nation wide
drive of the National Dental Associa-
ton on Provost Marshal General Crow
der's office against alleged non appli-
cation Of the selective service principle
to advanced dental students and APP
parent discrimination in favor of medi-
cal students.
Doctors of medicine here are unitedly
supporting the doctors of dentistry in
their demands on Crowder for applica-
ton of the same rule to dental stu
dents as applied to medical students.
This rule now permits advanced con-
scripted medical students to complete
their course, and to later take place
in the army where they can render
cially fitted. 1t likewise applies to
medical students voluntarily enlisting
in army service, it is said.
Practically. every dentist and every
doctor of medicine in the city today
has written a letter to Provost Mar
shall General Crowder, urging that we
avoid the mistake which England,
France and Canada now acknowledge
of accepting dental and medical stu
dents for line service.

Des Moines Chamber Of Commerce
Unanimously Adopts Resolutions
Favoring Prohibitory Amendment
No "Wet" Speakers Appear.

Des Moines Sept. 29.--Resolutions
formally putting the council of mem
bers of the chamber of commerce on
record as favoring the adoption of the
CONSTITUTIONAL amendment at the spe-
ciai election to be held Oct. Is, were
adopted unanimously by that body at
ter the submission OF the question to
open discussion by the advocates of
both sides.
No speaker appeared to speak for
the "wets," but an anonymous diatribe
was handed Chairman b. r. Williams
to be read to the council The chair
man refused to disclose the author OF
the paper in. spite of repeated calls for
the name of the writer.
The only formal speech before the
meeting was delivered by w. G. Calder
wood, of New York, executive secretary
OF the national association for war
time prohibition. Mr. Calderwood pre-
scented the case of the liquor traffic as
unfair to all other lines OF legitimate
business.
Drys Laud Cantonment.
In presenting the resolutions which
were adopted John l.. Bleakly explained
the same resolutions had been adopted
by the Fort Dodge Chamber of Com.
merce, and referred to the fact that
dry Iowa and a dry Des Moines had
been large factors in securing the can
torment for this city and state.
Adoption of the constitutional
amendment would be an act of patriot
ism on the part of the citizens or
Iowa. he said.
No Wet Dared Speak.
Chairman Williams called in vain for
speakers from the opposition. In the
absence of any spoken opposition he
introduced the anonymous paper ana
requested E. R. Stotts to read II. II
berated the newspapers for not pre-
senting the election-to the people IN

picturing the drinker as a tramp and

declaration as to business conditions:

NOW READY TO UPHOLD
AMERICA IN WAR
Federal Officials Declare Max Will Not
Be Released Because Of Changed
views-Mow Say. Victory For Ger
many Would Be International Ca

Fort Dodge, Sept. 29.-Dr.' X. NJ. Max.
editor of the Fool Killer magazine. who
s in the county Jail, charged with vio-
lation of the espionage act. due to some
alleged seditious statements appearing
IL his magazine, apparently has had
complete change of heart since his
weeks residence in jail.
From what he calls the Hotel de
County" Max issued patriotic state
ment in which he outlines his position
on the war. He says he is still So
cialist but that he wants the United
States and her allies to win a complete
victory over German militarism. For
the kaiser to win or even a draw he
says would be a world disgrace, "a
racial blot that even time itself could
hardly .obliterate.' Max says if the
socialists want to eXpel him from their
party for expressing these sentiments
that is their affair. but that he is going
to be governed by his own ideas as to
what is his duty in this crisis.
Max at present is held to the federal
grand jury under $4,000 bonds. He
spends his time in Jail writing stories
for magazines. He has a typewriter in
his cell
Won't Mean Release.
Federal authorities when informed OF
the change iii views of Max said they
we're glad to hear it, but did not see
how it could make any difference IN
his present position. Apparently un-
less ne raises the required bond he will
have no opportunity Of getting out or
Jail.
Following is Mak's statement which
he made yesterday and addressed to
the Messenger & Chronicle:
.'As there is so much misunderstand-
ing in this town in regard to my status
and position I deem it best that make
a clear and definite statement so that
people may have correct information on
the subject.

and militarism per Sc, as ever. but I'M
