Dubuque. July 1S.-Sergeant Major
Harold Schmidt who was seriously
wounded in battle with rebellious
negro soldier in New York, several
weeks ago. arrived in the city yester-
day and will spend three weeks at home
to recuperate. Schmidt had charge of
a squad of aviation corps members
whose chief duty was to patrol the
cost in and around New York City.
While assisting in policing the city
several weeks ago, the Dubuquer sight
ed negro whose actions appeared sus-
picous. Commanding the black to halt,
which order was disobeyed, the soldier
fired shot into the air in an effort to
brighten him. The negro ran. however
and turned firing twice at the guard
both bullets taking effect, one in the
ankle. the other in the side.
Schmidt Immediately sought cover
and returned the fire. His shots
brought down the negro who died be-

While Schmidt's injuries are ex-

AMENDMENTS NECESSARY TO
GIVE SOLDIERS OVER SEAS
RIGHT TO VOTE.
WAR DEPARTMENT
ISSUES REGULATIONS
Examination Of State Laws Show
Practical Method Of Taking Votes
Under Present Conditions Is Pro-
vided in Very Few Gases - Limita-
ton. Placed on Ballotins.
rBy F.. G. Dougherty.1

Washington, July 1S.-The war de-
partment has issued general order
prescribing regulations under winch
votes of soldiers with the American ex-
peditionary forces in France may De
cast in the fall elections and recon-
mending that states such as Iowa,
where there has been agitation in IA
vor of giving the soldiers vote. should
amend their election laws to square
with the new regulations.
IAN examination of the present state
Laws" the order says, shows that
practicable method of taking these
votes under prevailing conditions in
Europe is provided in very few cases.
'In order, therefore, that Qualified
voters from all the states may exercise
their voting privilege while serving IN
the American expeditionary forces the
cooperation OF the states with the
military authorities is essential, to the
extent that the states shall so amend
their present election laws as to vail
date votes Of soldiers that have~been
cast under limitations which the de-
partment has found necessary to pre-
scribe"
Limitations on 6dHotih9.
These limitations are then set forth
as follows:
First, the war department will not be
responsible for obtaining the votes OF
any one in France or elsewhere in Eu-
rope. but will assist the states to Sc
cure the votes so far as it can be done
without interfering with military
duties.
second it will not be possible to take
the vote of any soldier actively en-
gagged in military operations, unless
such soldier be able to cast his vote
by transmitting an executed ballot
thru the mails as ordinary correspond
ence.
Third. the war department will not
furnish to states lists of persons from
such states in the military service, nor
will it forward to men in the service
blank ballots or other forms of election
literature. When qualified voters II
Iowa or the other states, however, are
known to be in the military service as
members Of . certain organization, but
the organizational address is unknown,
the department will furnish such adj
dress upon request OF the proper state
officials, so that the states themselves
may arrange to get election literature
to the men.
Votes Must Pass Censor.
Fourth. all votes sent thru the mails
under this plan will be subject to CEN
sorship the same as other correspond
ence.
Fifth, officers Of the military service
will be permitted, but not required, to
administer oaths or make certificates
where state laws require such oaths or
certificates to validate votes.
Sixth, where state laws require the
sending of commissioners to take the
soldiers votes every assistance will be
given such commissioners compatible
with exigencies OF tile military stu
alton, but in most instances, the order
adds, it will be impracticable to permit
commissioners to take the votes in
person.

HOME DAUsEp WITH YELLOW.
Injustice Believed Done Apparently
Patriotic Citizen.

Iowa city. July 1s.--Yellow paint.
in daubs and stripes on house and
fence, has been used to deride Charles
Reynolds, a prominent Tiffin resident,
a retired farmer, who bought bonds
and contributed two sons to the United
States army service. He is middle
aged man who has stood high In the
community and nobody has come for
ward to take the responsibility for the
attack on his honor. The word
Stacker" was painted on his property.
The local council OF defense officials
are grieved over this attack as no evil
dence is in their possession that re-
fleets on his patriotism.
