Espionage True Bill
Against Eastman Is
Upheld by Court
Editors of ''The Masses"
Must Face Charges of Try
ing to Balk Draft

ne demurrer to the Indictment
charging Max Eastman, Floyd Dell, C.
Merrill Rogers and John Reid with
violation of the espionage act and the
ora10 law was overruled by Judge Hand
IN an opinion filed yesterday in the
Federal District Court The indictment
grew out of the publication of stories,
poems and cartoons in 1.-THE Masses" a
publication denied the use of the mails.
Judge Hand, in his opinion, asserts
that the charges justify prosecution.
tie finds precedent in the main Issue Of
The Masses" case, in the case against
Scott Nearing. Tho decision follows,
in part:
The first count alleges q conspiracy,
in which the contemplated means is not
specified except as regards to the pub
l!catlon of the magazine. The defend
ants will be entitled to bill Of par
ticulars.
The second, third and fourth counts
are for obstructing the enlistment SER
vice, and the validity of the second is
determined by the decision in the
Masses Publishing Company versus
Patten, which l SO often referred to in
the earlier case. That decision could
not have been made unless there were
portions of the August number which,
given the requisite intent, violate Sec
ton 8.
"The third and fourth counts refer to
the September and October numbers
respectively. Most Of these appear to
me innocent. Under any interpreted
ton they do not contain utterances
which one would suppose would OBJ
strrct enlistment. However, in the
September issue there was one cartoon,
Having Their Fling and poem,
Young Lads First which falls within
the ruling, and in the October number
there was a cartoon that may be OBJ
jectionable. The defendants may have,
as before, bills of particulars, if they
wish, of any other Objectionable matter
in all the numbers"

this matter to your attention, as you

FLAGS OF ALLIES
DEDICATED BY
:, LOCAL CHURCH
Interesting Service Is Held at
First Presbyterian, With
Appropriate Addresses by
Number of Speakers.

An interesting service took place
at the First Presbyterian church
Sunday morning when the flags of
the allied nations were dedicated
addresses were made by Col. J. NJ.
Banister, who spoke in behalf of the
American flag: John L. Kenredy,
for the Belgian flag; ]. A. Monroe,
for the French flag; NJ. A. Hall for
the British flag, and N. H. LOOMS,
for the Italian flag.
Colonel Banister in his tribute to
the Stars and Strips pointed out that
since the very inception of its en-
blem, the American flag has stood
for honor, civilization and righteous
ness.
He concluded with, the statement
that for every one Of us who live
beneath its folds. it stands for duty,
home, loved ones and all that is to
US most sacred and hold. To the
world in its darkest hour, it is the
rainbow of civilization.
Mr.. Kennedy, in speaking of the
Belgian flag, paid fine tribute to
King Albert and the Belgian peo-
pie. "Kaiserism is gone he said,
and where the kings of earth will
go for safety is the question which is
being asked; but there is one king
the king of Belgium-who can go
into any country on the earth in
welcome because he is every inch a
man, and a man is greater than a
king"
In speaking of the French en-
blem, Mr.. Munroe referred to the
significance of the colors and their
arrangement. He spoke OF the pre-
dominating element of French life as
being one of cooperation, and that
it was with that in mind that they
came to America when we were in
distress.
In introducing his remarks Mr..
Hall asked the question What it
it that makes the British nation so
great as it is today?"'. and in reply
cited Commodore Nelson's famous
statement, England expects every
man to do his duty" Mr.. Hall con-
trasted the empires of Caesar, Ma
poleon and kaiser with the empire
Jesus of Nazareth established, and
closed with the quotation of Ma
poleon wherein he said "Ceasar and
he established their empires by
force. while Jesus established his by
love"

IOWAN IN Navy
ESCAPES FROM
GERMAN CAMP
Lieutenant Isaacs Surend'
cred to U.Boat in Order
to Save Captain
From Capture.

New York, Nov. l0.-Lieut. Ed
ward Victory Isaacs, U. S. n, an
officer on the American transp port
President Lincoln, sunk by Ger
man submarine on May 81, who is
credited by other survivors with
having surrendered himself to the
U-boat commander in order to save
his captain from capture, returned
today to the United States, after
escaping from a German prison
camp and swimming the Rhine. He
made his way to England by way
of Switzerland and embarked there
on British liner.
Lieutenant Isaacs, an Annapolis
graduate, whose home is in Cresco,
Ia, declined to discuss his exper-
fences, stating that he was obliged
first to report to the Navy depart
ment.
1t was learned, however. from
other passengers, that with II other
American and British prisoners, he
broke away from the German de-
tention camp at Villingen, Baden,
October E.
After climbing over the electric
ally charged wires that guarded
their camp, they separated, and on
October Is Lieutenant Isaacs reach
ed the Rhine. Finding no other
way to cross that river, he plunged
in and swan it, and by travelling
at night managed to reach the
Swiss frontier.
Of the other II prisoners who
n lde the dash for liberty Lieutenant
Isaacs said he had heard three be-
sides himself had reached Switzer-
land.
When the President Lincoln was
sunk, the submarine went along the
boats and demanded that the cap
tain or another officer of high rank
be turned over to them. The ships
officers had removed their epaulette,
an. the Germans, exasperated when
an officer did not Immediately sur
render, threatened to hold an entire
boatload. Then Lieutenant Isaacs
gave himself up, :emarking that it
was the fortunes of war"
Questioned today concerning his
treatment, he replied that the only
treatment given him by the Germans
that even resembled decency, was
on the submarine and that was
nothing for them to be proud Of"
He said the Germans were then
overbearing and arrogant, believing
they were winning the war and hold
ing the United States and the al
lies in contempt. After landing, he
added, the treatment he received WIS
almost unbearable. The food was
scanty and of pc r quality and his
captors delighted in venting their
anger on him and other prisoners.

Tabby, Union Station
Pet Cat, Is Dead After
Having Spanish Flu
Tabby is dead.

Tabby is dead.
Tabby was the union station cat,
friend of officers and employees
about the station, and of thousands
who passed through the city on
their travels.
She particularly was the friend OF
the Red Cross nurses and it was
the Red Cross nurses who first dis
covered that she was sick After
a day it became apparent that
Tabby had the "hu."
She became wildly delirious and
darted about the station as though
she was mad. Children ran in fear
at the sight OF her and so vicious
did she become that adults also be-
came afraid Of her.
So a policeman took Tabby out
into the railroad yards and shot
her.
