Dear Fellowworker: Your let
ter written on the 18th of June
caught me this minute at St.
Paul. 1t was delayed in Fort
Scott. l sure would have enjoy
ed taking a stick in those cases
and l hope l have not through
failure to receive your letter, pre-
vented the boys from having real
counsel in the cases.
OF course, other arrangements
have been made by this time. l
will be at the address given above.
l have resigned from the school
and will get mail addressed here
more promptly.
l hope things are moving along
we'll with you. l look for trouble
on the Minnesota Range when
they begin prosecutions of the
"Slackers" as they call them, for
there is bunch of real scrappers
there. Many of them left their
native land to escape military con-
scription and will not lightly
forego their personal liberty here.
Being interested in iron as
much as it is interested in men,
the government will be put up
against hard game to play in
case of strike, and there is no
telling what would develop.
l hope that the department of
justice will realize that having
enough registered for all purpos-
es it had better quit and aid the
government in the prosecution of
the war, rather than to make war
at home on these workers, but
they may decide to go through.
There is no power on earth so
prone to blunder as ignorance in
authority.

the Jail and gave themselves up to

to register and had come to go to
Jail for the offense.
They were locked up. Later, |

beaten by deputy sheriffs and
jail guards.

Scandinavian Socialist here in

they are entitled to.

that if We're going in on the case.

TALE OF CASE
KEPPEL'S COW
She Played Star Part In Comedy
While People Were SOL
cnnIy Going to
Church.

"H you get to the station it's a
dollar, but if you're met half way
it oughtn't to be more than fifty
cents" is the way Case Keppel ar
sued with Sergeant Holiday, when,
enroute to church, he met the Of
ficer driving the Lucy and leading
the Keppel COW.
The people with a sense of humor
who went to church on time yesteT-
Gay had a reward in the comedy en-
acted on the corner of Seventh and
Elondeau streets.
The Keppel cow, which has the
curse of the wandering foot, was
browsing Sunday morning on one OF
the best kept lawns on Grand ave
nue., and a hurry-up call was tele-
phoned in to the police station Since
the Lucy is the swiftest mode or
travel known to the Keokuk police,
.pesk Sergeant Holiday drove to the
avenue and captured the COW on the
far side of lawn which covers al
most a block, only to find when he
reached the street that the horse
hitched to the Lucy was running
madly down the avenue.
Finally the horse was captured and
driven back to where the cow was
enjoying its breakfast on the trim
lawn, and the parade started to the
station.
At Seventh and Blondeau streets
it came upon the owner OF the COW,
who argued his own case, got the
fine reduced TO half a dollar, paid it,
took his property and wended his
way home.

SPAIN TO SEIZE GERMAN SHIPS.
VIII Utilize Vessels Now Interned ii
Submarine Sinks Continue.

Spain will utilize German vessels
now in Spanish ports in place of Span
ish ships sunk by German submarines
and will continue to observe neutrali-
~.
This dicisioa is announced in an Of
fcial statement issued after a meeting
OF the cabinet at San Sebastian. The
Spanish ambassador at Berlin has
been instructed to inform the Ger
man government of this action.
The cabinet statement, which is
transmitted from Madrid by the Havas
agency. says:
"As a consequence of the submarine
campaign, more than 20 per cent of
our merchant marine has been sunk,
more than 100 Spanish sailors have
pershied, a considerable number of
sailors have been wounded and num-
bers have been shipwrecked and aban-
doned. Ships needed exclusively for
Spanish use have been torpedoed with
out the slightest pretext.
The government has believed that
it is unable, without failing in its
essential obligations and without set
ting aside neutrality, to defer the
adoption of measures necessary to
guarantee Spanish maritime traffic
and to protect Spanish crews and
passengers.
Consequently, the government has
decided to address the imperial Ger
man government. and declare that
owing to a reduction of tonnage to its
extreme limit it will be obliged in
case of new sinkings, to substitute
therefor German vessels interned in
Spanish ports. This measure does not
imply the confiscation of the ships un-
der definite title. 1t would be only a
/ temporary solution until the establish
ment of peace, when Spanish claims
also will be liquidated.
Our ambassador at Berlin has re-
ceived instructions to bring this de-
cision to the notice of the German gov.
ernment. The Spanish government
does not doubt that the German gov
ernment will appreciate the circum
stances determining this resolution
and will recognize that Spain, in hold
ing to the neutrality she has practice'
since the beginning of the war, whici
has sacrificed many of her rights an'
legitimate conveniences, when it ha
been possible without affecting th
dignity of Spain and her national life
THE decision of the governmen
does not affect its firm resolve t'
maintain strict neutrality.
