western Settlement, said. ct is as
much our duty to protect society as
to conserve our natural resources. ,
We raise pedigreed cattle and chick
ems, but we never worry about what
kind of children are brought into the
world. A few years ago we were
afraid to even mention vice. Now
we deal with it in a matter Of fact
way and call it by it's right name.
"As for Mrs. ByTne's tactics in
starting a hunger strike, that may
be her method of protesting. Others
wouldn't use such methods"
Miss Jane adams, after refusing
to talk about the San Francisco
''Magdalenes," was equally positive
that she had nothing to say about
birth control or Mrs. Byrne.
'Tu be able. to discuss those ques-
tons in few months, after l re-
cover from my present illness, she
said.
Mrs. Joseph Tilton Bowen, close
associate and personal friend of Miss
Adams, strongly Tebuked advisors
of Mrs. Byrne for allowing the hum
ger strike and resulting publicity.
81 am thoroughly out of sympathy
with Mrs. Byrne's hunger strike and
the disgusting publicity that is
sought by her advisers she said. Il
am really in accord with her views
on birth control and, believe that
scientific knowledge along such lines
should be disseminated through rep
utable physicians or others compe-
tent to teach it, but 1 don't sanction
breaking laws to attain desired ends.
It would be much more sensible if
Mrs .Byrne and he rassociates would
devote their energies toward secur-
ing the repeal of the obnoxious law"
Mrs. Harriet Stokes Thompson,
president of the Chicago Political
Equality league, said:

CHICAGO WOMEN DISAPPRoVE
HUNGER STRIKE, BUT FAVOR
BIRTH REGULATION

New York, Jan. II. - Mrs. Ethel
Byrne, hunger striking in protest
against conviction for disseminating
birth control literature and advice,
was forcibiy fed early today in the
hospital at BlackwelIs island work
house. She had gone more than five
full days without food and water and
was reported to have collapsed
shortly before midnight.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-01-27

Chicago women, while unanimous
in their advocacy of some kind of
birth control reform, are equally
united in censuring Mrs. Ethel Byrne
for adopting English suffragist TAG
tics in protesting against her incar-
ceration at Blackwell's Island.
I'VE are rapidly approaching a
time when we will deal with some
phase of the birth control problem, "

shortly before midnight.
New York, Jan. 27.-Mrs. Ethel
Byrne faces death or insanity in
her hunger strike at Blackwell's
Island prison "as a protest against
state laws against birth control that
cause the death annually of 5000
working mothers in New York and
quarter of million in the nation"
She is hunger-striking because she
has been denied the interest right
to test the constitutionality of that
law" Mrs. Margaret Sanger, her sis
ter and co-defendant in the birth
control cases, declared today in
statement written for the United
Press.
Birth control is not an attack on
the birth rate as SUCH" says Mrs.
Sanger. ct is a scientifically just
and humane effort to prevent the
birth of more children than parents
can endow with strong bodies, sound
minds and fair chance in the bat
tie of life. Nothing more"

the tragedy was discovered.
Murderer Hid in Closet.
F. F. Favill of Storm Lake will
make the opening statement 10 the
jury for the prosecution. He appears
as special prosecutor for the state,
working under the directions OF the
attorney general Favill represented
the state last April before the grand
jury which indicted Kelly.
w. E. Mitchell of Council Bluffs
will make the opening statement for
the defense, of which he is chief
counsel. He represented Detective
J. N. Wilkerson here last .all in the
Jones-Wilkerson slander suit, which
he won after thirty-4ay trial.
The state will build up its evidence
step by step, beginning with Kelly's
first appearance at Villisca.
The defense, according to Attorney
Sutton, will show that others than
Kelly committed the crime and will
endeavor to show that clothes closet
on the second floor of the Moore
home was occupied by the intruder
Sunday evening and at the time Kelly
was in Presbyterian church with Rev.
w. J. Ewing and family.
Kelly is Hopeful.
Hank" Horton, one of the first wit
nesses to be called by the state, is
said to have been the first to give the
news of the ak murders to the world.
He and Ross Moore, accompanied Ed
Selley, clerk in the Joe Moore store,
to the More home when the absence
of Joe Moore at the store aroused in
terest.
Kelly passed the best night since
he returned from Logan for trial.
What are you going to do if you
are acquitted" he was asked.
That's for the future, bht I ex-
pect to 60 into business" he replied.
Mrs. Kelly is greatly interested in
the examination Of the jurors She
said it is her first experience.
Examination of veniremen elected
further evidence of activities of Wilk-
erson and the Kelly defense commit
tee. L. E. Marsden, II. A. Peterson,

Mediator Feick declared that the
time is not far distant when, as a re-
suit of government investigation and
regulation of the meat industry along
with other industries important in

A notable fact regarding the strike
is that it has been almost without

SWEDEN IS FORCED
T0SHOW ITS COLORS
Allies Clearly Intend to See
% That Germany Receives No
More Aid Through Neu-
~ trail Countries.

Washington, Sept. ll.-While the
American government awaited de-
yelopments today, following Secre-
tary Lansing's disclosures regarding
the transmission of official German
dispatches by the Swedish charge at
Buenos Aires, Washington officials
and foreign diplomats turned their
attention to a study of their possible
significance.
Two facts stood out clearly in the
minds OF most observers. Sweden
will be compelled to make definite its
position as a neutral and the exposure
may be taken as indicating more ex-
actly the. intention of the allies to
see that Germany shall cease receiv-
ing aid from all the northern Euro
pean neutral countries.
Buenos Aires, Sept. l0.-Argentine
officials, according to newspaper ac-
counts today, are still unable to be-
lieve that the dispatches sent to Ber-
Lin through the Swedish relation here
were accurately translated. The for
eign Office early today said that it
was without official advices from Am
bassador Naon or American Ambas-
sador Stimson. Newspapers and Off
cials generally believe that the gov
ernment will demand the recall OF
Count Luxburg, German charge at
Buenos Aires, but rupture in diplo-
matte relations with Germany is not
anticipated at present, the Argentine
government preferring, it is said, to
consider the affair a personal one be-
tween the German and Swedish rep
resentatives here.
L ndon is Aroused.
London, Sept. l0.-Photographs OF
the king and the royal family OF
Sweden, Swedish soldiers and BIRDS
eye,views ofStockholm are featured in
several newspapers under cross page
heads such as "Sweden's Exposure,
Sweden Charged with Breach OF
Neutrality" while others carry spe-
cial reviews of the entire course OF
events in Sweden since the outbreak
of the war.
One paper likens Sweden's position
to that of Greece few months ago,
saying, Its queen is German" The
Graphic in an editorial says:
"We cannot view without infinite
regret the position into which Sweden
has been dragged by active sympa-
thy of certain Of its rulers towards
Germany. The disclosures, which
were made from Washington, shed a
brilliant light upon dark places Of
Hun diplomacy. Let Us thank the
United. States for penetration OF the
plot" Eta st.. 49,, d. =,

ordnanee' experts and proved very

II detailed reports bear out the first
dispatch they will signalize the most
notable action against submarines
since the war began.
The Westwego had an experience
with a German submarine before the
United States entered the war, hav-
ing been attacked by one January !
last while off the coast of England.
It was proceeding from an American
port with cargo OF oil for Europe
when a submarine fred five shots at
1t from astern. t~l
The Westwego's captain, ]. c. Mul-
coy, brought his vessel to = stop
and sent . boat with his papers,
whereupon. the German. submarine
commander demanded a supply of
oil, threatening to sink the ship it
his demands were not complied with.
The submarine commander also de-
rnanded that the vessels 100000
cargo of gasoline be thrown over
board, saying he would give Captain
Muleoy Until the next morning to
comply. Four barrels of cylinder oil
were sent to the submarine and the
Westwego proceeded. 1t saw no more
OF the submarine
The Westwego, an oil tank steam
er, was built in Germany in 1914 for
Roumanian account under the name
of the Steauna Romano. Later its
registry was changed to American
and afterward its name was made
Westwego. The vessel was OF 3.0so
tons net and carried crew of forty
two. --latest reports show it was
in an American, port August 8 and
later sailed on Transatlantic voyage
commanded by Captain Mulcoy.

Troops Loyal to Korniloff.
By order of Premier Kerensky the
railroad track between Luga and Pc
trograd has been turned up in places,
gangs being engaged on the work all
night. On the Petrograd side OF
Luga are forces which so far have
stood firm for the government.
General Korniloff's main support
appears to be the so-called "sikaya,
or Savage division" which was for
merly stationed at Pokoff and con-
sists of Georgians and other Cauca-
sus tribesmen, who are personally de-
votel to Korniloff as a result OF his
lifelong interest in Asiatc affairs.
With this force are Tekke cavalry
men from the trans-Caspian territory,
whose wild appearance created SEN
sation when they accompanied Cen
eral Korniloff to Moscow conference.
According to the evening papers,
the Savage division" has occupied
Vuiritsa on the Windau-Ruibins rail-
road
German Intrigue Succeeds.
London, Sept. 1.-THE Russian
crisis overshadows all else in the
news and editorial columns of the
morning newspapers.
Germany may enjoy the satisfac-
ton of knowing" declares the Post,
that its sinister intrigues have pro-
duced a cataciysm in the revolution,
which, in whatever its other results
may consist, must, as we continue to
believe, ultimately destroy and eradi-
cate German predominance in Rus
sia."
The Times says the outlook is dark
and that it affects the war on every
front, "for the allies begin to realize
that even in the most favorable cir
cumstances the revival Of the Russian
military efficiency is bound to be re-
mote"
The Times declares that General
Korniloff is not a traitor and says
that if his u1timatum to the Petrograd
authorities on Saturday was tanta-
mount to dictatorship, it was evident
ly because he felt there was no alter
native left
The Chronicle says it is obvious
that General Korniloff would scarce
ly put pistol at the governments
head on Saturday unless he believed
he could fire it," and adds that the
immediate future should show
whether he can"
Kerensly Issues Proclamation.
Premier Kerensky today issued a
proclamation to the army, the fleet
and the nation, also to the committee
of the army at the front, outlining
the attempted coup of General Korni-
loft through Vladimir Nicolaievitch
Lvoff and the measures that had been
taken as a result Regarding General
Lokomsky, the premier says:
"The chief of staff, General Lokom-
sky, also proved traitor. He re-
fused to carry out the provisional
governments order to assume COM
mand of the armies III view of Korni-
lofts, dismissal, indicating to the
provisional government the possibil-
ity of civil war at the front, the open
ing up of the front to the Germans
and the conclusion of separate
peace. The government is in full
agreement with the executive OF the
workmep's and soldiers deputies for
taking measures for the crushing OF
the counter revolutionary plot insti-
tuted by traitors to their fatherland."
