Audubon. April 1S.-Rev. Z. ]. w.
Starck, the pro-German preacher
whose life was saved by his wife sew
eral weeks ago by her pleadings as a
mob of infuriated citizens were drag
ging him to tree, is said to have been
arrested or will shortly be taken by
the federal authorities who have been
working on the case ever since the
preacher disappeared from his section.
Efforts have been made for some
time to locate Rev. Mr.. Starck and
Sheriff 3. F. Wilson just received word
from Chicago that Starck was in that
city, The information came from the
chief Of Chicago detectives who stated
they had the man in charge.
Sheriff Wilson, learning that Starck
refused to return to Iowa without a
requisition, turned the matter over to
the federal authorities and the depart
ment at Des Moines- informed Sheriff
Wilson it would Immediately take
charge of the case. If it is decided
that Starck is to be brought back to
the state the federal government Will
bring him, requisition or no requis1-
ton. A further investigation, it is said.
was at once begun in Chicago, where 1t
is said Starck has been for some time.

There is an understanding that Starck

It is now four months since the OK
citing incidents, in which Rev. Mr..
Starck figured so largely. The people
of this county have never felt satisfied
with the outcome and have believed
that Rev. Mr. Starck should be in

work in the county. There is a state
and federal charge hanging over him
and it is declared that the evidence to
sustain either or both charges is strong
and easily substantiated.
Rev. Mr.. Starck was repeatedly be-
fore the county council Of defense be-
fore he was run out Of the community
and his persistence In disobeying the
orders of the council Of defense turned

Mild Training For Camp Dodge Men
Who Have Been III.

Special to Times republican.
Des Moines, April 18.-Men physical
ly unfit for the rigors Of war sent to
Camp Dodge under recent calls are
being weeded out. These men now be-
Ing sent home are from Minnesota and
North Dakota principally as the most
of the Iowans have already been
passed upon.
Convalescent soldiers when released
from, the base hospital are to HEREAFTER
be placed in what is termed canvales-
cent company under a new plan re-
Gently adopted at the big camp. These
men will be given light tr3ining and
will be under especial observations
where the rigorous training might be
too much for them. Under this new
plan also men can be released frem
the hospital earlier than they could
under the old plan where they had to
stay unit! practically their full strength
had returned before taking up train
ing.
Lieut.. Col. ]. r. Shook, division sur
geon, is responsible for the new plan.
He declares that men not able to re-
portion full duty can be built up
under the direction of medical officers
and it will be better for the health of
the men and for the development of
the army.
The econvalescent company is for the
present part Of the 163rd depot brig
AIDE. The plan as it will eventually
work out is to have one squad in each
company designated as a convalescent
squad where men reporting back from
the base hospital will be assigned.
Soldiers who have been operated on
as well as those who are convalescing
from other illnesses will be assigned
to this company.
Congestion at the hospital will be
relieved under the new system, it is
pointed out.
A new plan announced in connection
with Fort Des Moines is the estab-
lishment of government schools where
disabled men will be taught new
trades. -
