HS&$S as secretary OF the state
NSA council of defense, is send
ing out letters to Iowa
newspapers in which he calls atten-
ton to the necessity for reporting
persons making scditious utterances
to federal officers. Part Of the letter
says:
"As the weeks and months go by
we will be getting word OF the kill
ing and wounding of many of cur
brave soldiers fighting over there for
the life of this nation. The relatives
and friends of those brave men are
not likely to be patient with slack
ers or enemy sympathizers in Amer
lea, and. It is almost inevitable that
|. g people will, in some cases, take
the law into their own hands, if
necessary, to punish such persons.
Therefore, we believe you should
give timely warning to each such
persons and promptly give infornla
ton of any who do not heed the
warning that they may be promptly
dealt with, either by the civil author
tiles or by military court martial"

we intend to do everything possible

The federal grand jury today was
going over the huge bundles of liter
allure and data confiScated in yeSter-
days raids on socialist and l. w. w.
headquarters and the homes of sew
eral l. w. w. leaders.
The grand jury's work was being
directed by Oliver Pagan, federal in
dictment expert, and Charles Clyne,
United States district attorney.
Frank Daley, special United States
district attorney, of indianapolis, who
conducted the trial of the labor dyna-
miters in that city, was here but his
movements were shrouded in secrecy.
Government operatives, under the
personal leadership of Hinton G. Ga
baugh. chief investigator for the JUS
tice department in this district, to-
day resumed their search of socialist
and I. w. w. headquarters for further
evidence of alleged anti-government
propaganda.
The exact nature of the evidence
gathered yesterday and today was
not revealed, but it was known to
include anti-draft and anti-war pam
phlets and "stickers," books on

WASt1lNHI YIN, sept. o--1uS SoN-
eminent proposes to eliminate |. w.
W., and other anti-American actlVl-
ties from the nations political and
industrial structure.
To this end, government investi-
gators throughout the country today
examined the l.. w. W., and socialist
documents, CLEANED in yesterdays
swoop on many headquarters.
These papers will reveal start
ling program to hamper Americas
work through syndicalism. Further,
they may show that German or Aus
of recent weeks.
Evidence already in the depart
ment of justice show that l. w. w.
activities have embarrassed indus
tries, particularly the western mines,
producing war material. This evil
dence shows, too, that the l. w. w.
proposed to spread it's doctrines of
violence all over the land.
The Patriotic Education society to-
day charged directly that Austrians
and Bulgars are responsible for these
disorders, acting for the German
secret service. The extent of |. W.
w plans is indicated by the openly
expressed fear that they might try
to capture the Minneapolis session of
the American Alliance for Labor and
Democracy and distort it's delibera-
lions into |. w. w. propaganda.
Since our declaration of war the
German secret service has relied less
upon her own subjects and more on
the subjects of her allies in Amer
ica,' the Patriotic Education society
declares. "Austrians and Bulgars
have been found in mum erous plots
against this country. This is partlcu-
larly true of the l. w. w. through
which organization Austrians and
Bulgars have been as conspicuous in
stirring up disorder as Germans were
in Italy before that country got rid
of them, by declaring war on the
imperial government"
The government has ordered lead
ers such as Bill Haywood, James
Rowan, Dan Sheridan and others,
prosecuted to the limit if seized docu-
mentS prove as serious as the gov
eminent believes they are.
Grand juries will examine the
papers and return indictments. That
these will be based on the new
espionage act appears likely, though
existing laws on treason and sedition
may be invoked against some of the
foremost l. w. WIS.

ington of Washington, to investigate
the I. w w. menace in the far west
Covington probably will report to the
president today and it is assumed
that he has discovered independently
some facts which aided Justice de-
partment investigators in their round
up.
Authorities here believe the I. w
w. movement rests largely upon the
leadership of few fOrCcful agitatOrs
such as Haywood and that no mat
ter what comes of the present move
ment, it will result at least in dis
couraging the followers hereafter.

AMERICAN TROOPS RETURN TO CAMP
 SINGING HAPPILY

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Nov. 8. 8.-Marching to their quarters from the trenches to the tune of "The Campbels Are Coming" the first American Artil Iery unit to establish contact with the German army, was greeted with a great demonstration on the part of the civil population today.
 They were longer in action than the American Infantry.
 The artiIIerymen were thoroughly soaked to the bone and wet and chilly from the hard rain, but as happy as boys on a lark and re- turned singing.
 The men are completely tired out, but they all declare that they are willing to begin it all over again, in order to get shot at the Kaiser by potting his followers.
 The officers are greatly pleased with the manner in which the men deported themselves. They say the men have made remarkable show ing, having been placed under fire more quickly than is true of most of the allied contingents, and hav- ing laughed and made fun of the severe hardships, to which many of them were absolute strangers.
 These men will now be sent to other American camps as instruct ors for new artillery units which have not yet been placed at the front.
