TWO ARRESTS MADE
Ed. Schmiesing And P. J. Wilsterman
Out on Bonds; Sedition
Charged

A representative of the State Safe
ty Commission worked in Redwood
County last week, alleged disloyalists,
sellers of liquor and others claiming
his attention. Thursday he investi-
gated rumor that the druggist at
Vesta was selling liquor but could
find no evidence that such was the
case. The same day he also met some
of the men of the vicinity who had
been reported as being pro German
In sentiment. Sufficient grounds for
arrest were not found however and
the matter is temporarily closed.
Two arrests were made on the
charge of seditious utterances and
general disloyalty Friday, the arrested
men being P. ]. Wilsterman of Will
low Lake Township and Ed. Schmies-
ing of Johnsonville. A picture of the
Kaiser. was taken from the Wilster-
man home by the officer.
Mr.. Wilsterman is charged with
having said:
~ want Germany to win the
war; the German army is better
taken care of than the United
States army; the citizens of Ger
many are better taken care of
than those of the United States;
Germany was JUSTIFIED in sinking
the Lusitania."
He pleaded not guilty, waived ex-
animation and was bound over to the
district court, April term. when he
will appear before the grand jury.
Bonds at $4,000 were furnished.
Mr.. Schmiesing is charged with
having said:
ut is absolutely wrong for our
men to go to France to fight;
England will get all the benefit,
I would not be the sheriff of this
county because the boys don't
want to go to France and if they
kill the sheriff and get killed
themselves it is better to be shot
here than in France"
He pleaded not guilty and asked
for examination for which the date
is set for ten o'clock Monday morn
ing, February 18, in the municipal
court. Mr.. Schmiesing also furnished
bonds at $4,000.
The Safety Commission represen-
tative also visited Wabasso and Wan
da while here last week to ascertain
if the Monday closing law was being
strictly adhered to in all cases and
some slight irregularity in this mat
ter was adjusted.
He also ordered that non-partisan
league meeting scheduled to be held
at Delhi Tuesday should not be held
and requested local authorities to see
that any attempt to hold such a meet
ing was suppressed. He also dealt
with several individual cases of slight
diSloValtV and was instrumental in
teaching several renegade citizens
their duty to their country in the time
of war. His work has been marked
with an efficient and effective quiet
nett and Redwood County has GER
tainly been the gamer by having had
his capable authority to lead the way
in the work of teaching her citizens
that loyalty is no longer an individ-
ual choice but stern necessity to
which every one must yield.

Aliens Must Register

The government has now ordered
that all aliens must register and has
set aside February 25, 26 and 27 as
the days when this registering is to
be done. This requirement includes
all of foreign birth who have not yet
attained citizenship except the alien
enemies who registered recently. Just
how this work of registration will be
attended to has not yet been deter
mined but will be decided by the coun-
ty board of commissioners at their
meeting this week. and will be an
nounced in the Gazette Of next week.
This is an absolute and arbitrary re-
quirement and any resident of the
county who has not his complete citi-
zenship papers should give the mat
ter his careful attention as the uen-
atty for failure to comply with this
ruling is severe one.

Knitters Take Notice

Mrs. B. G. Hall, county supervisor
of Red Cross knitting, calls the at
tention of all knitters to the ruling
that sweaters should be made only %
inches long insead of 25 inches as
some are making them. 1t is also
requested by Mrs. Hall that the knit
ting directions should be followed
closely in putting on the number of
stitches in starting the sweaters. This
will insure them being close-ftting
and will conserve the amount of yarn
used If more than the required
number of stitches are used the sweat
er becomes clumsily and unnecessar-
lily large.

Lieutenant Steele Writes
From Somewhere In France

I'm wondering what kind of a day
you are having at home. l wonder If
Ralph got home and if Norman and
Addie are there. Wish I could be
back to swell the ranks. Well all
be there some day though and can
have one real reunion then.
I received the papers you sent on
Sunday. Talk about interesting read
ing. If Mrs. Wilson knew just how
eagerly waded thru those papers
she'd have put out a larger edition
just on purpose. Even the adver-
tisements made good reading. Was
especially interested in the letters
from Camp Cody. It was the first
I'd heard of their life at the camp

USEFUL LABOR FOR ALL.

Provost Marshal General Crowders explanatory statement in regard to the new regulation withdrawing all men of draft age from idleness or from employment that is either non- essential or that can be turned over properly to women has far wider application than can be given to it under the selectiye draft act Every man, in the draft age at least must work or fight" says General Crowder, What then. is the duty of all the rest of us9

 a complete machine running night and day at terrific speed We must make of ourselves the same sort of effective machine" He says further that while making vast withdrawals from industry of men for army ser vice we must immediately close up the ranks of industry" and measure the production of every useful thing
 No intelligent person will challenge this program. The first step toward the solution of the difficulty, General Crowder tells the public. is to pro- hibit engagement by able bodied men in the field of hurtful employment. idleness or ineffectual employment. and thus induce or persuade the vast wasted excess into useful fleIGs. This intelligent army man has in mInd the entire available supply of human ls- hor, but he adds that the existing sit uation offers great possibilities in improvement of the draft as we'll as great possibilities for the composition Of the labor situation by effective ad- ministration of the draft"
 It does more. II demands the ex- tension of federal authority over workers outside of the present drae age All able bodied men ought to be fully trained for active army service by the time they reach the age of 21 and all men over the present draft age should be directed into employ ment that would contribute effect lively to the common task of winning the war Congress will be derelict ih its duty if it does not speedily pro vide the legislation necessary to brng about the condition of warmaMng et ficiency that General Crowder so well describes.
 Meanwhile the insistent call for more and more men for army service and for service in essential indus tries carries its lesson to the women Of the land The time has come when all of them who are not bnrdened With home duties should prepare 10 enter the wider field of employment, there to perform needful tasks suited to their strength and knowledge.

clature.
Where is Bluff park?

AND where is BluI ParR.
If you go to a picnic to the beau
tiful city park between f and
streets and Park and Bluff streets in
Keokuk which city ordinance says is
Bluff park and find that the picnic is
about ten miles up the Mississippi
river at Bluff Park, you will appre-
ciate the ambiguity mentioned.
The place in West Keokuk is Bluff
park, and the place this side of Mont
rose is Bluff Park The only differ
ence now is that between little p
and a big p.
1t was not ever thus. The man who
started the summer resort near Mont
rose, overlooking Nauvoo, and with
a wonderful view high above the
river amid the constant breezes,
named the place Park Bluff. A news
paper man who worked away back
there remembers distinctly how in
sistent that summer resort man was
that his place should be called Park
Bluff and not Bluff Park.
He failed to make the expected for

picnic management called it that in
big type in the advertisements. The
new name seems fixed now, and it is
useless TO fight colloquial customs.
Hence the newspapers have to fall
into line.
But the only way they have of
differentiating between Bluff park in
West Keokuk and Bluff Park near
Mnntrose is to apply strictly the rules

took the usual colloquial random shot
at the name and called it Bluff Park
with increasing frequency. Lately.
even the old timers have been call
