Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1916-1918, 1917-02-09

Washington, ID. c., Feb. Son the
basis OF reports received on the de-
struction Of the California and other
Ships so far, it is stated authoritatively
that none of the cases constitutes the
overt act which will lead to war with
Germany. Officials openly express the
belief. however, that the overt act Is
merely a question of time.
While regarding the destruction OF
the California as plain evidence that
Germany has fully abandoned her
pledges to the United States. 1t was
stated that the government will not be
hurried into the war until there is un-
disputed evidence of violation of Amer
lean rights by destruction OF American
ships or loss of American lives, in vio-
lation of international law.
All hope. If any ever existed, that
Germany might modify her campaign
Of ruthlessness has vanished and there
is no doubt here that it will only be a
matter of hours or days before an
American ship is sunk or American
lives are sacrificed.
The only effect so far as the destruc-
ton Of the Califoria is concerned has
been to quicken the preparations the
government is making for the expect
&c eventuality.
Other reports today from Consul
Frost on the sinking Of the British ship
Eavestone say that she also was de-
stroyed without warning. This point
had not been cleared up in previous
advices.

70 REQUIRE GUARANTEES.

London, Feb. s. The German gov.
ernment will require guarantees that
Count Won Bernstorff, former German
ambassador at Washington, and the
men on German ships in American
ports will be permitted to leave the
United States before allowing Ambas
sador Gerard and other Americans in
Germany to depart from that country
according to the Copenhagen Politiken.
This information. the Politiken says
is contained In a-telegram sent by Am.
bassador Gerard to the American lega-
ton at Copenhagen. All Americans in
Germany. including those captured by
the German raider in the south At
lantic and taken to Germany on the
Yarrowdale are said to have been de-
tanned rs hostages.
Dispatches reporting that Germany
is holding Mr.. Gerard and all Ameri-
cans in Germany as hostages for the
safe return of Count Won Bernstorff
and large number of Germans
eclipsed all other news in the London
evening papers today. Talk in the
streets soon became focused on pos
sible resultant developments. The
American embassy here Is without con-
firmation regarding the detention Of
Mr. Gerard, but some anxiety was
manifest It was learned the embassy
had telegraphed to American diplo-
mats in all states adjacent to Germany
for information as to Mr.. Gerard's

The Federal government. after a
conference with State Highway Com

Richmond-W Washington Highway by
building the missing link between
Occoquan and Dumfrics. on the main
highway, and extending a spur road
to Quantico, where Will be situated
a training station for the marine corps.
While Mr.. Coleman failed to secure
absolute assurance that the govern
ment would do this. the attitude Of
officials of the Public Roads Office Of
tho Department OF Agriculture led
him to believe that there Ia little
doubt about 1t. The uncompleted
stretch from Occoquan to Dumfries is
three and onc-half miles in length, and
tho distance from Dumfrics to Guam
tico is four miles.
The completion OF tho Richmond

Simple Justice to Petersburg

CONGRATULATIONS and best wishes to
~ Petersburg, that beated act OF JUS
tico by which the War Department restores
the mobilization camp which had been taken
away! Petersburg we'll deserved the depart
ment's original recommended \, and the
sudden cancellation. without notice and seem
ingly on scant consideration. Of the extern
Sive arrangements that had been made, was
an indefensibe wrong.
The objections and protests of the Du Pont
company were based on apprehensions that
will not be realized. The camp has every
advantage a camp ought to possess and we
venture the prediction that the troops mo-
bilized near Petersburg will be as happy and
as comfortable as those at any other station
In tho country.
Again congratulations! In this fight all
Virginia was with the Cockade City, and so
Richmond, while extending Fluctuations. may
assume part OF the credit. At any rate the
event proves that united Virginia Is force
impossible to Withstand.
