United States Marshal
Fears Uprising of
Loyal Citizens
Five Arrests Are Made
Lutheran Ministers Said to
Have Spread Anti-Amer-
lean Feeling

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Aug. IL
Returning to-day from a drive on pro-
Germans in fifteen counties Of North
ern Iowa, United States Marshal E. r.
Moore. Chief Deputy N. L. Healy and a
force OF deputies report conditions IN
some OF the German communities as
dangerous to the nation. Mr. Healy
makes the prediction that an uprising
Of loyal citizens may be expected in
Gladbrook and Hubbard If the pro-
Germans are not curbed One hundred
towns were visited. and five arrests
were made on the trip.
The situation at Hubbard was so
serious last week that the efforts OF
the marshal and his deputies were re-
CURED 70 prevent the loyal citizens
from lynching William Schwartz, who
is charged with making incendiary re-
marks. After the peace meeting at
Hubbard, which turned into loyal
meeting, ne says, the crowds sur
rounded Schwartz and insisted ne
should be lynched, and all the per-
suasive powers Of the marshaIs were
required 70 keep the crowd at bay.
Finally Schwartz was hustled into a
cab and sent home.
Before John and Edward Wird were
arrested at Hubbard, the American
women Of the town heard they had
made derogatory remarks about them.
The women, according TO Healy, assem-
oled at the theatre, armed with eggs
The marshals prevailed on them 70
keep quiet.
There is restaurant named the
Kaiserhof at Hubbard, which IS the
meeting place of the pro-German ele-
ment. After the loyal meeting the
Americans insisted the restaurant De
closed or they would tear It down: The
marshals interviewed the proprletors
and the place was closed the following
day. -.
At Grundy Centre, county seat OF
Grundy County, the marshals learned
that a prominent pro-German had OIL
fered 81 900 TO have his son exempted
from the army, and another had Of
fered $50. These cases are being IN
vestigated. At Luvere the marshals
ran into another nest Of pro-Germans'
and in a shoe store they found walls
literally covered with pictures OF the
Kaiser and German propaganda. The
proprietor was made to tear the stun
down and burn it in the public square
and then apologize to the citizens,
At Hubbard an effort was made TO
raise $4,000 to help pay the expenses
of a so-called peace league. Forty per
sons had signed the petition when the
marshals arrived. Many Of them with,
drew their names, and several agreed
TO subscribe to the Red Cross Fund.
The marshsls say the German
Lutheran ministers are responsible Tor
a great deal Of the anti-American feel
ing. Evidence on which to indict these
men will be presented 20 the next Fed
eral grand jury.

Defence of
Germany

The editorial then continues:
"The American lawyer has the
habit not to reason with his oppo-
nent, but to ignore his statements
and arguments and TO give his own
side in order to convince the Judge
or Jury. In the main this applies 70
the pamphlet which was published.
The French have a proverb that he
who excuses himself accuses himself
II would have been better II this
namphlet of excuses would not have
been written. The time for arguing
and explaining has passed. The
United States, like every other coun-
try. has the right TO fight for any
nurpose that il considers its duty to
fight for. The Administration has
convinced Congress that we have to
fight. Congress has SO decided what
more is necessary except to win the
fight?
Nothing in the pamphlet supplies
arv real evidence that Germany has
or ever had the intention TO disturb
anv democracy as such. especially the
Tinted States. We are not at war
with Germany on account OF any
such aggression, since there was
none Germany offended US by not
corpIving with our demand that the
rules of cruiser warfare should be
annlied 10 the submarine. Congress
authorized the President to enforce
our demand with arms. That we are
nreparing to do indefinitely more and
DESTROY the German form OF govern
mont made the Administration feel
that it had to explain. With all due
rcspect to the capable lawyers who
wrote the argument, we cannot say
that il is more convincing than any
thing we have heard before this.
another reason for war, given
long ago and accepted by Congress
and by the people at large. IS the ac-
tivitv of German subjects within our
border lines to destroy factories and
do other harm. We are, however,
strong enough to deal with such Of
tenders effectively. and have done so
in all instances. The mere statement
which connects the German govern
ment with any activity directed
against the safety or interests Of the
limited States as such and not only
srainst the furnishing Of means Of
war by private concerns to the enc
mics OF Germany cannot take the
Mace of convincing evidence"
