FINDS TALE ONLY RUMoR.
Food Administration Official investi-
gates Abbott Hoarding story.

For some time past rumor has been
current, and in sense persistent.
especially turnout the county, to the
effect that l.. c. Abbott. one OF the
county food administrators, had been
arrested and fined I'm Dcs Moines for
boarding. and that the Times Republic
can had suppressed the publication or
the arrest.
When the Tins<s Republican first
heard of the story Il seemed too
ridiculous even to warrant any in
quiry./ However. the county food adj
ministratlcn did not consider II so,
from the fact that il the rumor were
accepted by any as true the integrity
OF the food administration could easily
be assailed and its official conduct OF
affairs would not be taken seriously.
In an effort to attempt TO run down
the story. and see who was respor sihlo
for it's origin. the food aimin'str0 ton
laid the facts before 5 ate AdminStra-'
tor Deems. Altho he knew that there
was nothing to the story. end " there
had been Mr.. Abbott long ago would
have heen removed, Mr. Deems was
curious to see If the authority for the
rumor could he established. AccordinS-
~ he sent ono Of his staff C. e. Potter
son, OF Burlington. here to investigate.
Mr.. Peterson spent Tuesday and We'd
rtsday locking up people who, were
known TO have made the statement
that they had seen the Abbott story in
a Dcs Moines paper. No one, however.
could he found who had seen the story,
and those who said they knew people
who had seen it, when questioned by
Peterson. admitted their remarks were
based only on hearsay. Mr.. Peterson
took several affidavits from persons
who were known to have helped in the
circulation of the rumor.
The result was that no actual basis
OF the rumor could be established The
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1918-10-17

Information gained was turned over to
the loyalty committee OF the council OF
defense, TO take what action 1t might
see 1T.
The only possible thing that could
have originated the rumor, In the
opinion OF the state food administra-
ton, was the publication In Des
Moines last summer Of the hearing OF
one T.. II. Abbey, of DEBORAH. on a
charge of boarding -four. The case
was heard at Des Moines. and Mr.
Abbey made contribution of $50 to
the Red Cross.

full measure. The losses to the
British are much less; in fact, COM
pared with that figure, are negligi-'
BILE. The German claim OF 10000
prisoners is only little more than
the British captured at Vimy Ridge
last summer and not near so great
in capture OF munitions. The terri
tory which the British have left dur
ing the past few days Is only a part
OF that from which the Germans
we're driven early last spring. The
German attack on the front runs
from La Fere northward about SO
miles to Lens, while much of the ter
ritory wrested from the Germans in
1917 lies to the north of the point
selected for the offensive
Six hundred guns are claimed
captured by the Germans, while ar
Vimy Ridge the British captured
z4,O63 German prisoners. "a guns,
941 machine guns and 1873 trench
mortars; in the battle of Arras, the
British captured 1880 prisoners,
257 guns, AGA machine guns and 227
trench mortars; at scissors, the
French captured 11.157 prisoners
and 200 guns. So, except in loss of
lives and number OF troops engaged
the great offensive" cannot be said
to far surpass other battles.

figures as to casualties begin to come
