TOWNLEY AND GILBERT
ARRESTED AT ST. PAUL

st. Paul, Feb. 28.-A. C. Townlev
president of the National Nonparti.
san league, and Joseph Gilbert. man.
ager of that political organization OF
farmers, were arrested at League
headquarters today, on a warrant
headquarters today, on a warrant
sworn out by Albert r. Allen, prose.
+tuting attorney of Martin county
charging the two men with "combin.
ing to conspire to seditiously teach
men not to enlist in the United States
army to fight Germany"
Not Lakefield Warrant
The warrant upon which Townley
and Gilbert were arrested today is en-.
tirely separate from the warrant
sworn out several days ago at Lake.
field, charging Townley with sedition
The Lakefield warrant was never
served.
Sheriff w. S., Carver, Martin coun.
ty, who made the arrests, insisted up-
on taking the men back to Martin
county with him. They protested
claiming to have the right to secure
bail at the nearest district court. The
sheriff and his prisoners and League
representatives then went to the state
capitol to secure hearing on the
matter.
Pamphlet is Grounds
The warrant upon which the arrests
were made mentions a pamphlet is
sued by the League as the basis fol-
the arrests. 1t is 32-page pamphlet
and has been freely circulated.
1t urges CONSUMPTION of excess prof
its and suggests CONSUMPTION of
wealth. The pamphlet was freely sent
through the mails and no apparent
attempt was made to withhold it from
the public.
Townley at the capitol told report
ers that the pamphlet upon which the
arrest was based sets forth the prin-
ciples exactly in line with the domes-
tic principles and war aims expressed
by President Wilson in his recent
message to congress-.
Pamphlet Out Nine Months
There is hardly a declaration in
this pamphlet which has not been
publicly Endorsed by the president
with overwhelming approval of the
people," Townley said.
"This pamphlet, entitled National
Nonpartisan League, Origin, Purpose
and Method of Operation, War Pro
gram and Statement of Principles,
has been issued by the hundreds OF
thousands, copies Of it have been in
the hands of federal authorities fol-
nine months. The postal authorities
have never questioned our right to
circulate it.
''These facts speak for themselves
My arrest is simply for the purpose
of supplying hostile elements with
| sensational matter to discredit the
League. 1t is deliberate plot"

March 4.-"Steady boys. Although
they outnumbered us ten to one we
can lick EN- were the last words of
the first West Pointer to die fighting
The story of this captains death
was told to the United Press today
by four Sammies who were in his
company and who were with him when
ne fell. These men are from Green
Bay, Wis.,, Minot, N. D., and two from
,, Chicago.
The captain left his dugout when
the Germans started their fire on the
American trenches early Friday
morning. He ran through a fierce
barragS until he got into the midst
of his men on strong position. He
spoke the words as a she'll burst near
by. He fell dead.
Nlinot Man is Irish
Many of the men have familiar
names. The boy from Minot. N. D.,
told of the Americans first encoun-
ter with the enemy in a standing bat
tie. He spoke in strong Irish
brogue so thick that it could be cut
with a knife.
1T was a merry scrap and we'll
worth having" he said. eve had been
expecting it and had a party waiting
for Fritz. His barrage was pretty
rough. He mussed things up some.
But it was not for our captain to lose
his head. He was cool as though he
was going on leave. For a time our
platoon was nearly surrounded. The
Boclles were behind us and the Boches
were in front of US.
But it was not for us to back up,
We know what our rifles are for and
we use them to beat off the Dutch,
The captain was a gallant officer and
died a real fighting man."
The Green Bay lad was beside the
captain when he fell and told of his
last order. Then the Chicago men
chimed in relating why they thought
the raid was coming.
There was apparently an advance
celebration in the German trenches
the night before the attack" said they
1--WE could hear the band playing
back of the German lines and thew
were noisy all night long. Our pa.
troll heard the boches shout, Come or
over Americans and then, We're
coming over, Americans We had no
orders to go over, but there was q
hot reception waiting the Germans or
our side"
The men, tired and dirty after thei,
trick in the trenches, topped by the
stiffest fight to date, remained very
cheerful. They. are ready for another
whlrl at the enemy. They sat in 2
circle in their rest billet On a DRY
spot protruding from a sea of muc
and ankle-deep water, slowing away
sum- bread and coffee.

weight and his little, dark haired
guard. If ever a man showed grit
Jim Thompson's guard spoke well for
himself. Outclassed in weight, if not
efficiency, and in strength, if not
fearlessness, this Jerome lad battled
heroically against his Goliath. Once
he went "over the top" In this wise
it occurred. Jim stopped over to pick
up the ball and our David hit him

Kimberly's team this year has been

spected with the closest attention to
every detail, new uniforms and equip

and teeth became matters of keen
curiosity to officers.
When everything was in readiness
the Americans were packed into box
