Four-Minute Speaker Shoots ShrapneI
at German Lies, and Does Much
to XIII Them
Here.
THE IRISH AND FIGHTS
Address Full Of Humor and Fire
Brings Frequent Applause from
the Theatre Audi
ence.

j. G. Thomas, the four-minute
speaker at the Hippodrome theater
last night, poured out such shrapnel
Of patriotism talk in the short time
assigned him that German propa-
ganda retreated, at least from the
theater, and in hurry at that. The
humor and earnestness in his speech
caught the attention of the audience,
which signified it's approval with
loud applause every now and then.
Mr.. Thomas said:
One Of the greatest men the world
ever produced, Abraham Lincoln,
said that America was a government
of the people, for the people and by
the people. You and ! are the peo-
pie. If Abraham Lincoln was cor
rect, this is, your government and
mine. But this privilege we have in
having such a government is cur
tailed with certain duties. One duty
we can perform is to do away with
German propaganda.
The Huns Spent Millions.
"The German government has
spent millions in spreading false ru-
mors in this country, knowing that
one way to win the war lies in dis
couraging the people back home.
did you ever hear the rumor, cir
culated largely through the south,
that the colored people were drafted
in larger numbers than the white
men and then were killed off in Ger
many like rats? That's a German
lie. Our government wants us to nail
just such lies.
Have you heard the story that the
Irish Catholics had been given places
Of honor in the army to get them to
fight? That's ridiculous. Who in
the world ever had to give an Irish
man anything to get him to fight?
I'VE know that the men at the
front are getting away from the
prejudice of creeds. They aren't
asking questions about religion. All
the boys over there want to know is:
Are you 100 per cent American?
IF you hear rumors of mismanage-
ment on the part of government Of
ficials. demand the name of the one
giving that information or demand
the name of the newspaper printing
the article. Tell the one giving the
information that you will report him
to the postmaster, who is a federal
officer.
IF you'll do this thing you'll help
make this a government of the peo-
pie, for the people and by the peo-
nile -

VANDALS ANNOY
AT ST. JOHNS
Steal Locks off Doors and Leave
Lights Burning in the Base
ment, from Sheer
Meanness.

There is no reverence in the heart
of the thief or thieves who stole a
lock off ST. Johns Episcopal church
door and committed other instances
of vandalism there.
Several times, the church has been
entered, and one night lights were
left burning in the basement. Not
much damage has been done to date,
but the church people are annoyed by
the vandalism there, probably done
by boys for sheer meanness.

The Community Gathering at Bluff
Park Makes a Lot Of Money for
the Red Cross
Work.
GREAT SPEECH BY DUNN
A Thousand Remain for the Dance in
NE Evening and Rain is Re-
quired to Stop Fes-
tivities.

About 1000 people gathered at the
community picnic at Bluff Park yes
terday and had the time of their lives
A big lot of money was made for
the Red Cross, but the exact amount
has not yet been ascertained, as it
takes time to count it all.
People were there from as far
away as Quincy and Memphis, but
the attendance was chiefly from Lee
county Keokuk and Montrose people
made large part of the attendance,
and the county townships furnished
the other part of the crowd.
About a thousand stayed for the
dancing in the evening, and the fes-
tivities were stopped only by rain
which began about 8 o'clock-just
enough to drive the people home, but
not enough to hurt them.
Heard Great Grafton.
1--WE could listen to him all after
noon" said some of the audience Of
Edward G.. Dunn, who made the ad-
dress of the day in the afternoon.
Mr.. Dunn has made about $50
speeches this summer for the United
States bureau of public information,
and no better orator could be found
for such purpose. He is eloquent,
convincing and magnetic in his ora
tory and holds his audiences in the
hollow of his hand.
His speech at the picnic was patri-
otto in theme, and he stirred the large
audience to the bottom OF their
hearts MIR. Dunn is lawyer Of
Mason City, and was the democra-
tic candidate for governor in repub-
lican Iowa few years ago. He can
get a large audience whenever he
speaks in Lee county hereafter.
Auction Made Much Money.
The auction brought in much
money for the Red Cross. Every
farmer brought produce to donate to
the cause, and all sorts of things
were sold. One hen was sold thir-
teen times before finally finding a
new and permanent roost. Other
articles were sold over and over.
The refreshment stand sold 1850
bottles of pop at ten cents each, be-
sides much other picnic stand goods.
The athletic stunts and many con-
tests were very popular feature OF
the picnic and made lots of fun.
The Keokuk Concert band MADE
big hit with the people
At noon the diners got together in
large groups and it was real CON-
munity dinner, and in the evening
supper was eaten by smaller and
more individual parties scattered all
over the grounds

THREE COAL BARGEs
 ARE REPORTED ASHORE.
No Trace Of a Fourth Gan Be Found.


 The F. H. & A. H. ChappeIl company of New London report that three barges of tow of four are ashore off Saybrook. No trace of the fourth can be found. It is presumed that it was either sunk or carried away in the ice No trace of the tug could be found at first, but.it was afterwards reported as having ceen seen going through the Race in the ice.s If this. is the case it indicates that ,theT tug has been dis able. Assistanee -has been. sent to the tug. The tow was efs the Charles Mo Caffrey line. The officials at the navy yard have sent vessels and are endeav- bring to break through the ice with aid for the 7stranged barges at Say brook but it is somewhat doubtful if they can succeed. +
 The Chappell, company says that if
 the barges are not saved New London
 will be in very tight fix for coal, as the barges contained all that the com- pany sees in sight for long time. Something like 400 tons of soft coal and 800 tons of hard coal were on the barges and if it islost the Chappell company predicts that the suffering in New London.
 No trace of the tug had been heard of since it was last reported passing through the Race. The government boats engaged in breaking the ice to
 reach the stranded barges report that nothing has been seen by them of the missing fourth barge and it is feared that 1t has been crushed by the ice 1 and sent to the bottom of the sound The anxiety of the Chappel1 compaey l for the lives of the men on the barges 1 is very acute and they are using all their means to render assistance.
