with e0listments, w. II.
Kaufman, leading socialist
and single taxer Of the state,
was arrested Monday morn
ing BY Deputy U. s. Marshal
Larry Flanagan at Belling-

The arrest was made on a sc.
cret indictment returned by the
federal grand jury in Tacoms
hast week. Kaufman was taken
before a U. s. commissioner al
Bellingham and his bail fixed al
$1,000.
The disloyalty charges grew

munitions makers, that they
might make millions out of it"

Someone Tries
Political Trick

An attempt to make 1t appear
that John M. Roberts. candidate
for city controller, is lined
up with a political slate con-
sisting of Mayor Fawcett and
Calvin J. Carr, was exposed by
Roberts Monday.
Leaflets are being mailed to
voters, saying that the True
American Patriots" have endorsed
Fawcett, Carr and Roberts.
This organization has never
been heard of before, and efforts
to locate its members proved fu-
tile Monday.
II want to make It plain that
am not lining up with any other
candidate" said Roberts. II am
running for city controller on my
own merits. Whoever issued these
leaflets was not authorized by me
to take such action"

THOMPSON
NAMED FOR
CITY COURT

George M. Thompson, former

Fawcett Monday to take the

Thompson and Fawcett were

however, when Thompson began
supporting Fawcett.
The city pays a $50 month sal

county pays a $125 salary for JUS

Since Thompson Is not JUS

able to handle the violations of
City ordinances, and will draw only
$50 q menth salary.

(Staff Correspondent Who Went
to Investigate German Out
breaks in Southern IllinOis.)

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 10
There are more outward evidences
of patriotism in the hotbed of
anti-German feeling-the mining
towns across the river from here
than in any other place in the
world.
And as a rumor factory, south
ern Illinois leads the world.
Walk down Collinsville's main
street and look at the names on
the store and office windows
Wurtzbacher, Keller, Schlosser,
Stroebel, Armsburger, Koffuan
Goebel and so on-German name
after German name.
It's the same in most of the
towns of the district. A great per-
centage of the business and pro-
| fessional people are of German
stock.
But they're loyal Ameri-
cans-secOnd, third, fourth
generations in this country,
most of them. In COllinsville,
town of 10000, only 80
aliens registered.
The miners know that.
But the constant sight of Ger
man names, one after another
everywhere, has its psychological
effect.
1t adds to the "nerves"--the
suspicion of the district--which
explains the repeated flag-kissine
episodes, Observation-Disclosures, rail-
rulings and the lynching Of Robert
Prayer, suspected as pro-German
first lynching of the war.
Emphasize Patriotism.
The business people understand
how the miners feel about 1t, and
they go out of their way to pro-
claim their patriotism.
Flags are everywhere-three or
four in a window.
Everybody's coat is decorated
with a flag button, a Red Gross
and all three Liberty Loan but
tons.
Stores and offices are fairly pa
pered with posters.

He issued orders for the change
Monday morning.
At the same time officials Of
the Milwaukee railroad declared
they were ready to take down the
name from the Bismarck station
on the Tacoma Eastern Just as
soon as this section of the city
ceases to go by the German name.

Liberty Bonds to these companies as

WHAT'S TO BE DONE WITH EX.-
KAISER BILL?

According to information reaching
Washington there is strong sentiment
in certain quarters of the Entente
governments in favor of insisting that
William Hohenzollern and his son,
the former Crown Prince of Germany
shall be compelled to make their res
idence at some place remote from Ger
man territory. 1t is likely also that
there will be equally strong insist
ence that no son or brother of the
former German Emperor shall be per-
mitted to reside in Germany.
Nothing has yet appeared to indi-
cate disposition on the part-of any
of the governments at war with Ger
many to provide unusual punishment
for the former Kaiser and former
Crown Prince. The feeling exists,
however, that it should be made i'm
possible for them to carry on intrigue
against the effort to demoralize Ger
many with view to retestablishing
the Hohenzollern dynasty.
The suggestion that the former
Kaiser should be kept under guard
on remote island, as was Napoleon,
has not attracted attention apparent
| ly among those who will have say
in the ultimate disposition in the
former Kaiser's person. In connec-
ton with the suggestion one of the
places mentioned for the confinement
tof the former Kaiser is the Island Of
Heligoland with the guard composed
of soldiers of the allied and Ameri-
can governments. ....-
1t is taken for granted that the mat
ter of imposing punishment on the
Kaiser and leading members of the
autocratic group at Berlin which
brought on the war and were respOn-
sible for German atrocities, will be
discussed by the representatives of
| the allied governments of a peace
treaty with Germany. So far, how
ever, no definite suggestion on this
subject appears to have been given
consideration.

AMERICANS AND GERMANS.

In the last offensive, the German
wounded received precisely the same
treatment as our own men. At the
Casualty Clearing Station German
officers sat at table with us. On the
Red Cross train they were given beds
and our English sisters waited on
them. 1 thought of how the German
nurses treat our chaps, splitting into
the food and the cups before they
handed them to them. The officers
sat stiffiy and insolently with absurd
yellow gloves on, looking as though
every kindness shown was national
tribute to their superiority.-Lieut.

from Julia and Bradley.

trousers, roll collars and belts around
their waists. / haven't received mine
yet, but that is the way the men are
dressed. Some of the men who have
been in France have them. / guess
we will be getting them pretty soon.
II am in a ward at night by my
self. Some of the men under my care
can't move, as they have leg shot
off or face wounded. / think General
Sherman was exactly right when he
said WAR is hell" It's nothing else.
But / don't think it is going to last
much longer, as Austra-Hungary has
laid down, and the Germans are on
the verge of starvation, and facing
revolution in their own country. /
sincerely hope it won't be very long
until somebody or something gets the
Kaiser and gets him where he never
can plot any more murder and
trouble.
How are all the boys in Paris?
suppose many of them are still wait
