kaiser's dream Of the world conquest,
and who wants the kaiser to win,
simply because he happens to be Ger
man, we should have no charity or
consideration, but should give him
clearly to understand that he is not
wanted here and that if he doesn't get
out right soon We will help him to
move in ways that he cannot fail to
understand.
Il believe that the majority of Ger
man-Americans in this country are
loyal to the stars and stripes. Those
who belong to this majority should
be cheered and comforted and en-
couraged and supported by every
means at our command. Yet on the
other hand we should not for one
moment tolerate the presence of the
German-American who is wilfully dis
loyal to our country after all that that
country has done for him.

heart that I wish the new patriotic

WAR BRINGS LACK
OF HOUSE SERVANTS

New York Feb, There is q
shortage of house servants throughout
the country with no relief in sight and
with no possible way of meeting the
problem, according to statement is
sued here today by the United States
employment service of the department
of labor.
This is the only scarcity at present
which cannot be overcome by labor
distribution the statement says, as
there is no section which has sur
plus from which may be drawn do
mestics for service elsewhere.
Indianapolis, Omaha, Mobile, Port
land, Ore, are the cities where the
shortage is most felt, according to
figures received here Improved status
of female workers, increasing range
of employment opened to women by
war conditions and the decline in i'm
migration are given as the reasons for
the shortage.

SEER THOUGHT TO
BE GERMAN AGENT

Waterloo, Feb. lis some German
agent, in the guise of fortune teller,
seeking to antagonize American moth
ers against their sons joining the
army?
Shocked by the horrible glimpse
into the future given her by fortune
teller at Davenport, the mother Of a
young man of draft age sought the
help Of the legal advisory board of this
city.
Weeping she told her story. Incl
dents surrounding the case have given
rise to the suspicion that the man en-
acting the role of seer may be fac
tor in the spread of German propa.
ganda to keep young men out of the
war.
The mother who unburdened her
distress formerly lived in Cedar Falls.
THE man pretended to be able to
forecast all future EVENTS she ex-
planned. "He charged fee to tell my
fortune He acted as though he were
entering trance.

ground he said He is wounded AMI
Is bleeding profusely.'
"This recital shocked me terribly.

hope that assistance soon would arrive
from the American artillery. But the
Germans had planned the raid well.
ROCKETS LOST IN FOG.
The first barrage is supposed to
have cut the telephone wires, and
when the sergeant commanding the
alamo seven" fired rocket into the
air it was smothered in the dense mist
and was not seen by the observers
even in our first lines. That rocket
called for a barrage from the Ameri-
can artillery, and when no answer
came to 1t a second one was fired.
This also was snuffed out by the fog.
Against overwhelming odds the men
continued to fight in the full realiza-
ton of their isolated position and that
support from their comrades was al
most impossible to be hoped for.
RAID WAS EXPECTED.
The raid was staged in a region
quite low and containing large spaces
which were almost completely covered
by water. The Germans have been
unable to make progress in the sector
for some time and only month ago
an allied raiding party penetrated
their lines at that point to a depth OF
two kilometers, killed number, cap
tured almost 200 officers and men, and
destroyed their dugouts.
The Americans holding this line
have consolidated all their positions
and brought all arms of the service
into the work.
