ISOLATION. He with c. M. Porter OF
Oskaloosa comprise the two survivors
of the original seventeen that met in
Oskaloosa twenty-one years ago and
founded the organization.
Mr.. Stapletoh is not only a lumber
dealer but he is patriot. Two sons
Of the house of Stapleton are bearing
arms in the service Of the country and
the father is an ardent Red Cross
worker He is civilian relief commit
tee chairman in his district.
1t was Dennis Stapleton who when
a meeting was called some weeks ago
in Ottumwa to arrange for the insti-
tute for the home training course in
Red Cross work, walked most Of the
way from his home to Ottumwa to at
tend the meeting. The railroad tie up
because Of the snow and bad weather
initiated against attendance of many
who were expected. Mr.. Stapleton
walked to Delta from What Cheer to
get train, only to find the train an
nuIled. BY means Of a car that be.
came snowbound and then by walking
he reached Oskaloosa and from there
came to Ottumwa just in time for the
adjournment of the meeting. But he
got here. He walked twelve miles to
reach home.
Charley Martin did not arise very
early this morning. He enjoyed the
program of the Moonlight club last
night, however. He spent much Of
the forenoon in room SAB.
Mark Arson is some repeater. For
the fifth time Marcus was named sec

He says he is getting used to it.
Jim McNicholas is among those
present at the convention. Mac is

PACKERS WAR
In u. COURT

Chicago, Feb. 7.-Arguments before
Judge Lands in the effort of the fed.
eral government to obtain the records
of Swift and Company, in the posses
sion of Henry Veeder, was continued
today, with J. B. Fleming, assistant U.
S. district attorney, expounding the
law for the government. 1t was doubt
full il the lawyers could finish today.
Meanwhile a deputy marshal guarded
the papers sought by the government
in connection with the meat investiga-
ton.
Mr.. Fleming argued that the search
warrant permitting Francis J. Heney,
attorney for the federal trade commits
sion, to go through the files of Swift
and company in Veeders vaults, was
legal in every respect.
"The warrant Is good under the
search and seizure act" said Mr.. Flem-
ing. evidently the old laws we're in
sufficient in the crisis of war, and this
act was passed. 1t was designed to
expedite the work Of the government
in just such cases"
Mr.. Fleming reiterated the charges
against Swift and company in the
misunderstanding food products to
limit supply and enhance prices; con-
spring with other big packers in sub
hitting bids to the government for
hides, leather and food and for making
false records with reference to docu-
ments wanted by the federal trade
commission in its investigation.

.SLAVS' BAN ON
POLISH LEGION
kRYLENkO CALLS LEADER OF
ANTkBOLSHEVik ARMY
AN OUTLAW.

Petrograd, Wednesday, Feb. c.
Ensign Krylenko, the bolshevik com.
mander in chief, has issued a decree
ordering that all supplies be cut off
from the Polish legion in the Russian
army and declaring its commander,
Dovboro Mousnitzsky, an outlaw. He
also appeals to all bolsheviki to leave
Polish commands.
The decree was prompted by the
refusal of the Polish commands to re-
duce their officers to the ranks and
submit to bolshevik Demonstration.
Ensign Krylenko says that the Polish
officers are under the control Of the
Polish bourgeoise who are unwilling
to submit to popular rule.

Business interests are urging the
directors of the United Railways to

be willing to return to work and take
up their wage and hour demands in

but as whole the service was less

BOLSHEVIkI MAKE RICH MEN
POOR AND POOR MEN
RICH.

| Petrograd, Wednesday, Feb. g.
With the approach of the spring plant
ing season, land distribution is becom
| ing an acute problem. Unemployed
workmen who are leaving the cities
for their native villages to get land
rapidly are spreading the economic
struggle throughout Russia. The all
Russian congress Of workmen's and
soldiers delegates adjourned without
adopting the plans of NJ. Kalegayev
the minister of agriculture, for the
apportionment of the land Conse'
quently no definite legislation has
been established for the method OF
division.
ALL LAND SEIZED.
The land owning peasants as we'll
as the bourgeoise are to be deprived
of their estates. Premier Lenine to-
day addressed large gathering OF
agitators who are to depart soon for
the provinces to lead the confiscation
campaign. He urged them to make
war on all village exploiters and rich
peasants as they did on the wealthy
landowners.
I'VE have taken the land to give it
to the poor peasants" the premier
said. do not let the rich peasants
or exploiters get the agricultural i'm
PIGMENTS. Put ten poor peasants
against every rich one. The police are
dead and buried and the masses must
take affairs in their own hands
,, "ExTERNAL WAR FINISHED."
External war is finished or is be-
ing finished now. Internal war be-
gins, but not a war with arms. This
is an economic war. The masses must
take back what has been stolen from
them. The rich, who have hidden
their wealth think the masses will
pull them through. Somehow, we
must uncover the hidden wealth or
otherwise the bolsheviki government
is bankrupt.
1.-THE republic needs. twenty-eight
billion rubles annually. Its prospect
i've income is only eight billion rubles.
The hidden wealth must be uncovered
and placed at the disposal of the gov
eminent.

survivors are at Larne, Ireland, and
that 81 are at Islay, Scotland. The
dispatch said the British authorities
were doing everything to make the
survivors as comfortable as possible
and were sending supplies to the
places where they landed. This does
not materially change the number of
saved which stands at 1912.
BRITISH SEND HELP.
The war department issued the fol.
lowing statement:
British authorities have wired in.
structions to their commands in Scot
land and Ireland to afford our troops
from the Tuscania every possible as
sistance and furnish them with cloth
ing and other requirements. Officers
have been dispatched from Liverpool,
Glasgow and London to points In Ire

they are properly outfitted they will
be brought to Winchester"
U. S. FRElGHTER SUNK.
A German submarine also has sunk
the American freighter Alamance OF
5000 tons. The freighter went down
off the English coast with the loss OF
six men. All the Americans on board
including the crew, were saved.
British losses in merchantmen due
to submarines or mines aggregated
fifteen vessels, including ten of more
than 1000 tons, for the first week OF
February. The total equals that Of
the previous week but in that period
nine of the fifteen ships sunk were Of
more than 1000 tons. Italy lost one
large steamer during the week end
ing February 2, and two large and one
small French merchantmen were sunk
in the same period.

Irish coast.
FOLLOWED NEW ROUTE.
1t is doubtful that the Tuscania was
in a route usually followed by Ameri
can transports. AS a British vessel
under British convoy, the security OF
the American troops beyond question
was entrusted to British handling. So
far as now known, no American naval
craft shared in the task. Probably
numerous other transports or army
supply vessels were in the convoy.
The Tuscania must have remained
af1oat for considerable time. Rumors
were current today which could not
be traced to any source, that she was
still afioat.
METHOD OF CONVOY.
The process of conveying has be-
come almost routine through practice
in both the British and American nav.
les
A screen of destroyers or other
swift craft travels ahead of a con.
voyed fleet. The destroyers are spread
out over a considerable area. 1t is
known that virtually all of the Ger
man U-boats are equipped with listen
AAA5 NS'ASSo VI SOioIuS1 dOlS
so the approach of destroyers may
have become known to the U-boat
commander even before the vessels
themselves were sighted. Fear of
depth bombs would drive the U-boat
below to Turk motionless at some
depth until the sound of the des.
troyers' propellers had faded out
showing that they had passed. The
U-boat probably would come to the
surface then to explore.
Navy officials say that one chance
against which absolute precaution will
not guard. is that the submarine will
come up in the path of the approach.
ing transports, obtain a sight that will
permit her to train her torpedo tubes
by compass and again submerge. As
the listening devices show that a
ship is within range, torpedo could
be fired by the submarine while still
submerged. Some times, under the
law of chance, it might find it's mark,
and this may have happened with
the Tuscania.
While the loss indicated was fully
appreciated by officials here there
was general air of relief about the
war and navy departments that the
loss OF life was not larger.
