Equipment Complete.

The Iowa troops are now practically
complete in equipment. Yesterday bar.
rack bags were issued to all enlisted
men. And trunks must be disposed of
before the trip begins across the
ocean, which many believe is but a
few days away. All cotton clothing al
so must be left behind, two sets of
wooden olive-drab equipment being all
the men shall take. Three blankets,
one hat, two pairs of shoes and a razor
and a couple of towels v i'll be about
all the men will need in their service
overseas.
That there can be no cEarges that
the men transferred from the old First
and Second regiments to make up the
new strength of 3,700 for the Third
are being Disseminated against can
be gained from a glance at the appoint
ment nf non-commissioned officers in
the last few days.
In the last month more than nine
out of ten of the non-commissioned Of
ficers appointed were new men in the
regiment Sergt. David P. Livingston
of Washington, Ia, formerly of Com
pany X of the First infantry, yester-
day was appointed battalion sergeant
major.

Robb Heads New Corps.

That every casualty and every re-
port possible as to the condition of
the wounded or i'll men in the Rainbow
division when it goes overseas will be
furnished relatives and friends at
home with as much speed and little
inconvenience as possible is evidenced
by the organization of the statistical
section of the One Hundred and Sixty
eighth infantry encampment at Camp
Mills, preparing for service in France.
Chaplain Winifred E. Robb is in
charge of the section under direction
of Capt. Paul Ivanorder, adjutant. AS
sisting the chaplain are Sergt. Russell
J. Cockburn, machine gun company
and several clerks who have been de-
tailed to this section.
Full records of all the men in the
regiment are being secured, church
affiliations, ages, home addresses,
nearest relatives, etc, being noted.
When one of the men in France is
wounded or i'll this information is ca
bled Immediately to the statistical
section, war department, Washington
1t is there that the relatives and the
friends of the troopers over seas are
told to secure their information.
In this manner a telegraphic report
of the health of your boy in France
can be secured every day if you so de-
sire. If he is sick or wounded they will
know it and report it to you the next
day. If he is well they will have nc
report. If he is missing you will be
told.
So don't worry about not hearing
from the boys if they are taken sick
in that far-off land. Chaplain Robb
through his department, will report ev
cry day tc Washington, and at -n:n
experse his report will he rclayed &c

Of WSCOUNT READING

In explanation of the visit of vis-
count Reading. lord chief justice of
England. now in Washington on spe
cial mission. the British embassy has
informed the State Department that the
viscount. because of his close conf
dental relationship with the present
war cabinet, has been sent as an envoy
from the cabinet TO convey such in
formation. particularly regarding finan-
cial matters as may be thought useful
by the United States.
The embassy handed this statement
to the department:
"Viscount Reading was cabinet min
lister in the last liberal administration
before he was appointed lord chief jus
tice of England, a position which he
still occupies.
Since the war broke out he has given
his services to the British government in
the national cause and has been more
particularly associated with the admin
istraton of British finance during the
war. Lord Reading is in close confiden-
tial relationship with the present war
cabinet and has therefore been requested
to come to this country as an envoy from
them for the purpose of conveying such
as may be thought useful by
the United States administration. He IS
fully possessed of the views of the British
government and is authorized to confer
on all matters, and especially those relat-
ing to finance, which may arise between
the two governments out of the war

BRITISH EMBASSY VIEW OF
SWEDISH MAIL DETENTION

As the probable explanation of the
detention of Swedish diplomatinc mail
pouches at Halifax, ii was stated at
the British embassy today that the
Swedish economic mission before leav-
ing Stockholm asked permission to open
in the course of its voyage field
bag containing confidential documents,
ana to rcseal it before passing the in
spection officers. Such a procedure would
clearly invalidate the principles hither-
to observed in accordance with inter-
national law. and the British govern
ucnt accordingly reolied that il
would give no undertaking that such
bag would be exempted from examina-
ton bv the British authorities.
This bag is assumed to he one of the
four held up for examination at Hall
fax aud concerning which the Swedish
lrsatiuu here is understood to have
made informal representations to the
state department.. With other things,
the pouches are said to contain statis-
ties ON production, consumption, ex-
portation and importation of foodstuffs,
which DE-. Hjalmar Lundvohm. head of
the special mission, expects to put be-
fore the American government in dis
cussing Sweden's need for American
