PROMINENT IOWANS
ARRESTED FOR TREASON
Town Said To Be Hot Bed Of
TraitOrs---Five More May
Be Pulled

Lowden, Iowa, Aug. 2.-Four promi
nent and wealthy residents of Lowden
are under arrest and several more will
be taken into custody, on charge or
treason and interfering with govern
ment agents. The arrests were maGe
shortly before noon by United States
Marshal Moore and Deputy Healy, who
came here from Cedar Rapids.
Those arrested were:
Albert Schaeller, age So, retired
wealthy farmer; Carl Garhal, age SO,
farmer; William Richmann, age 66,
furniture dealer and Ernest Meyer,
age SO, retired farmer.
Five others are being questioned by
the federal operatives and it is likely
they will also be placed under arrest.
On his way to Cedar Rapids this af-
ternoon Marshal Moore arrested Will
liam Goldsmith at Clarence. Goldsmith
is alleged to have made some anti-Am
erican remarks to a traveller there last
night and was severely beaten.
Following the arrests today the Off
GERS of the town, characterized as the
hotbed of sedition by the federal
agents and county agents, were order
ed to use force in subduing any un-
fuly person making reasonaple com-
ments.
Those arrested today are charged
with threatening to lynch Dan d. Nc
Gillvray, an attorney who aided in the
questioning of Rev. John Reichart,
when the latter was arrested here Tues
day night following reasonable utter
ances from his pulpit Sunday.
A few blows were struck, but cooler
heads in the crowd persuaded the 9TH
ers to let the attorney alone.

With the British Armies in the Field
Aug. 2.-The infantry paused today in
sticky mud, but even in rain swept
skies British airmen kept up their un-
ecasing offensive.
One of the most amazing exploits of
the war has been the British aerial of
fensive. 1t started on the day opening
the Flanders drive-a day as bad as
could be for flying. Five hundred feet
above the ground the mists hung, with
a rain that came later in the afternoon.
But the British flyers flew regardless
OF halls of shells and storms of ma
chine gun fire. In that first day Brit
ish airmen flew 1864 hours in all and
fired 1858 rounds of ammunition.
The soup like weather continued to-
day. Troops resemble mud turtles more
than fighters and human beings The
military situation is practically I'M
changed

terday afternoon north of Frezcnbers,
under cover of heavy smoke barrage,
and terrific artillerying. The British
rallied and counter attacked at 8
o clock last night on a front of 300
yards. They re-took the place.
Enemy artillery was very active dur
ing the night east of Ypres, but the
infantry was quiescent The British
threw many heavy shells into st. Ju-
lien.
Consolidation of positions on the
high ground was accomplished during
the night by the French, but no addi-

Eastman Is Puzzled
Wants Information As
to Mortgage Law

+. w. Eastman of La Grande, is puz-
zled ovcr the construction of sentence
in chapter 32 page 40, of the 1917 ses-
sion laws, relating to the maturity of
mortgages and has written Secretary
Olcott concerning it.
The law reads as though mortgages are
presumed to be paid after ten years
after maturity and then says: "This
act shall not take effect until the LIST
day of January A. d. 1914.
1t is this statement that puzzles him
because the act was not passed until
January 81, 1917. He says there must
be some mistake and if it is not a mis-
take asks whether or not If it does not
affect mortgages that mature prior to
January 1914.
Secretary Olcott replied that he look
cd up the case as it went through the
legislative mill and he says he finds
that the date remains the same through
out. He offers no explanation outside

dueed by Senator Wilbur Of Hood Riv-

To Avoid Flat Feet.

Owing to the number of otherwise
splendid applicants rejected from the
United States Marine Corps for fat
feet, Marine Corps examining physi-
clans have issued the following sim
pie exercises and pointers, which, if
followed, they say. will remedy that
ailment:
During exercises at all times turn
the toes in.
Walk with toe of each foot point
ing to the front; in straight line, if
possible.
Stand with toes turned in: raise
body on toes. slowly, as high as pos
sjble. Rest second, then with
weight of body borne on toes, lower
slowly down to floor. and repeat.
When in the house in stocking feet,
walk on toes; heels not touching the
floor, and toes turned in.
When sitting, cross the legs, the
foot always resting on the outer sides.
The wearing of broad toe shoes,
with the metal "arch supporter alb
solutely abandoned. also is advocated.

MADGE KENNEDY
AT LAST TO PLAY
BEFORE MILLIONS.
Famous Coincidence Realizes Ambi-
ton as Star of GoIdwyn's
"RahY Mine.v

As the star in Baby Nine" which
marks her first appearance in motion
pictures at the Republic Saturday,
Madge Kennedy, Americas favorite
Coincidence, is realizing the ambition
+, which caused her to desert the legiti-
mate stage for the screen.
That ambition was to play to a mil
lion persons at one time, something
that is possible only in pictures, which
are not restricted in their scope by
any of the limitations of the spoken
drama. 1t was the opportunity af-
forded her to play to all America at
one time that decided Miss Kennedy
to join Goldwyn
There was also one other considera-
ton. The motion picture field gave
her a chance to play more than one
part a year. In such successes of the
stage as Twin Beds and Fair and
Warmer" which were stepping stones
to Miss Kennedy's great popularity,
the coincidence played one role for
one or more seasons In motion pic
lures she will appear in several plays
each year
Il will never act for the movies"
the young farce comedy star had de-
clared Il will stick to my legitimate
art"
And for a long time she did, until
she came to realize the great oppor-
tunities and the broad scope for her
achievements afforded by screen pro-
auctions
1T is certainly a great advantage
to appear in pictures said Miss Ken
nedy, after she had completed her first
picture. 1T keeps one before the pub
lie from one end of the country to
the other. 1t is just like visiting all
your friends at one time, which is
something | had never considered be-
fore Then there is the advantage
OF not having to go on the road and
travel when you would prefer to stay
al home. and ride in stuffy Pu1lmans
when you would rather have your own
apartment and comforts ! guess I
have just walked up to the advantages
of motion pictures
But if motion pictures give Miss
Kennedy greater opportunities they
also exact greater efforts from her.
AS Goldwyn star she viii rehearse
and be filmed in a number of produc-
tions each season. and will have to put
in long, tedious weeks in preparation
for each.
Miss Kennedy's eminence as a
coincidence was attained chiefly by
hard work. She is accustomed to Civ
great effort to her productions. 1t
was in this manner that she developed
her talents for the stage and in the
same manner she will continue her
success on the screen
