FRENCH LEADER
SEES VICTORY
AMERICANS WILL HELP IN WIN
MING DECISIVE TRIUMPH
OVER HUNS.

Ottawa, Ont, April 19.-One Of the
foremost French generals, who com
manded the three French divisions In
the heavy fighting previous to April 4
declared unreservedly to Reuters cor.
respondent with the French armies
that there was nothing disquieting in
the present battle situation, "but on the
contrary we have every ground for
confidence both in Picardy and Elan
ders," according to dispatch Re
ceived here today.
Gin the course Of this battle" the
general said, each side would con
tinue to ply blow and counter blow
endeavoring by weight Of numbers or
superior skill to find the weak points
in the enemy's armor and each en-.
deavoring to retain SUFFICIENT reserves
to turn the scale when the decisive
moment was reached.
After four years we are now only
within sight of this decisive point. The
Germans have still got in France un-
used reserves and fresh divisions. The
battle may continue a month or more
but the entente will fight until the
enemy reserves are exhausted.
Then our turn will come with the
help of American divisions"

STARCK WILL
BE RETURNED
AUDUBON MAN SAVED FROM MOB
BY WIFE MAY BE BROUGHT
BACK ON CHARGE.

Audubon, April 19-The Rev. e. J.
w. Starck, the alleged pro-German
preacher whose life was saved by his
wife several weeks ago as a mob OF
! Infatuated citizens were dragging him
! to a tree, is said to have been arrested
and will shortly be taken by the fed
, eral authorities who have been work
ing on the case ever since the preach
er disappeared from this section.
Efforts to locate the Rev. Mr.. Starck
have been made for some time and
Sheriff B. F. Wilson just received word
from Chicago that the man was in that
city. The information came from the
chief OF Chicago detectives who stated
they had the man in charge.
Sheriff Wilson, learning that Starck
refused to return to Iowa without a
reQuisition, turned the matter over to
the federal authorities and the depart
ment at Des Moines informed Sheriff
Wilson it would Immediately take
charge of the case. If 1t is decided
that Starck Is to be brought back to
the state. the federal government will
bring him, requisition not being nee
essary A further investigation, it is
said, was at once begun in Chicago,
where 1t is said Starck has been for
some time. There is an understanding
that Starck will likely be taken to
Council Bluffs for a hearing.
It Is now four months since the ex-
citing incident in which Starck fig
ured so largely. The people of this
county have never felt satisfied with
the outcome and have believed that
the Rev. Mr.. .Starck should be interned
or punished for his disloyal work in
the county. There is a state and fed
eral charge hanging over him and 1t Is
declared that the evidence to sustain
either or both charges Is strong and
easily substantiated.
Starck was repeatedly before the
county council of defense before he
was run out of the community and his
persistence in disobeying the orders of
the council of defense turned many of
his closest II not all Of his most loyal
German supporters from him. He con-
Quoted German school and church in
the country and at one time had a
large following.
