state free labor employment office on
the first floor of the court house. Fed
eral Examiner Mcdaniel said today
that too many applications cannot be
made for work here as the demand is
great. especially for farm labor. Now
that the weather conditions have made
it necessary for the farmer to work
late and early in order to keep abreast
of the season and particularly owing to
the additional acreage being planted to
increase the food supply, many farm
hands are required.
The employment office has become a
very active institution and the force
has brought many vacant jobs and
jobless persons together in the past
month. The results as reported by the
office for May shows a big gain over
the month previous although but two
thirds of April had the benefit of the
labor employment service which began
April IL. Mr.. McDaniels and Roy Ying-
ling, the latter representing the state in
the office, have had calls during May
from 211 persons and firms for 2S4 per-
sons. There were 235 directed to jobs
and OF this number It's applicants were
reported hired. The total for April was
los placed.

MEANT TO STOP
GERMAN PLOTS
GOVERNOR HARpING's PRocLA.
NATION DESIGNED TO PRE-
VENT HUN PROPAGANDA.

Des Moines,. June 3.-Knowledge o.
German intrigue and plotting ana use
of foreign languages to further enemy
propaganda prompted Governor Har
ding to issue his recent English ian
guage only" proclamation, he says
in an official statement.
Il am positive that every person
in the state who has questioned the
wisdom of my issuing the proclama'
ton" the governor declared, III ne
knew what l know as to the use OF
foreign languages for carrying on
propaganda and plots against the
government, would have done what
did.
German intrigue does not confine
itself to the use of the German Ian
guage. The fact is they find 1t just as
convenient now to use other Ian
guages."
Governor Harding again points out
that the proclamation docs not
hamper the use of foreign languages
for the purpose of reaching, where
necessary, the hearts Of any people
for patriotic and various war activi-
tiesc, and neither does it prevent re-
ligious Worship by those who do not
speak the English language.
'No oftepse should be taken by
loyal Americans of foreign birth or
descent because the proclamation in
no instance classes any of them with
the Huns,
"No charge or suspicion is laid
against any church or>nationality nor
was it at the time the proclamation
was issued"

IN
DARING ESCAPE
USE PRISON TRUCK TO GET OUT
OF PRISON WALLS-THEN
STEAL CAR

Fort Madison, June 3.-Although Of
ficers are on the watch all over the
state, no trace has been found of John
Newman and Arthur Lumley, the two
conVlcts who escaped from the state
prison here late Friday night. Both Of
the men We're serving time for murder.
Newman doing fifteen years for secand
degree murder and Lumley being in for
life. The escape of the men was not dis
covered for more than an hour. giving
them a good lead on their pursuers.
Inc method of escape was daring
and original, its very simplicity doubt
less accounting for it's success. New.
man was an honor man, being used as
helper on the PRISONS three-ton truck
In work outside the walls. Lumley, con-
sldered a harder case, was kept inside
truck, with Newman aboard, was
standing in front of the garage shortly
after noon Friday and then was order.
ed to the Hawkeye Lumber company's
yards for some lumber for the institu.
ton. When it returned about an hour
later 1t was discovered that neither
Newman nor Lumley was at his accus-
toned place and it is believed that
Lumley secreted himself under the
truck and rode out through the gates
with it. The truck is always examined
as 1t goes out, but Lumley is small OF
sta and might easily have hidden
under the body, whereas the Inspector
probably just looked inside to see that
everything was right there.
TRADE TRUCK FOR FLivER
The names of the two escaped men
until the details of the escap pc were In
vestigated and the plans for pursuit
made. Warden ]. R. Perkins was out of
the city at the time but has now return
ed and is using every means to recap
ture the two murderers.
Prison officials learned that Ford
car had been stolen from Robert Engie-
time during the night, and it Is the be-
lief that the two convicts approprited
1t in order to make good their escape.
The door OF the Englehard garage had
been forced and the lock on the car had
been manipulated SO that the Ford
could be run. Officials point out that
the thief must have been someone ia
miliar with the general mechanism Of
cars and as both Newman and Lumley
are mechanics, suspicion falls upon
them. If they really took the car they
are no doubt far away by this time as
there was good supply Of gasoline In
the Ford when it was stolen.
BOTH MEN ATHLETES
Both Newman and Lumley were ath.
letes, having tied for individual honors
in the prison field meet short time
ago. Newman was to have pitched for
the prison team in the benefit baseball
game with the Perfection team this aft.
ernoon.
John Newman, No. 1oss7, was re-
ceived from Sioux City on Oct. 80, 1913,
to serve term of fifteen years for muir
der in the second degree. He was 90
years of age.
Arthur Lumley, No. 1851, was re-
ceived from Des Moines on Aug. q,
1915, to serve a life sentence for muir.
der in the first degree. He was but 81
years Of age.

FIT, MADISON BOY
PRISONER OF HUNS

Fort Madison, June s.-Bert Carter
formerly employed here in the shop Of
the Fort Madison Electric Co. but more
recently serving in a British artillery
company in France, has been taken
prisoner by the Germans. He has serv-
ed for more than two years with the
British forces.
The capture of Carter brings to mind
the~pecular circumstances under which
he left this city. He had been told by
physicians that he was suffering from
an incurable form OF tuberculosis, and
this being the case his friends and fell
low workmen started a subscription pa
per to send him back to England. 1t
appears however. that he was more
homesick for his native land than any
thing else, and as soon as he landed In
England he was accepted for the army
by recruiting officers and army physi-
clans, who told him his lungs were
practically normal.
