LABOR SCARCE IN EAST.

Des Moines, May 13.-Help Is scarce
in Iowa but not nearly so scarce as in
the east especially in the Industrial
centers. and manufacturers are not
only appealing to employment bureaus
and state officials for aid in getting
workers but they are sending special
agents to the middle west to, employ
workers.
Representatives Of Illinois concerns
handling government contracts visited
the state council of defense office a
day or so ago asking where factory
help could be found. Practically every
day or so calls are coming thru the
public service reserve. branch of the
government service. for machinlsts or
other factory workers.
News reports have reached here
from WASHINGTON that lack Of help
and railroad congestion in the east
has reached such point that the
government is now turning contracts
to the west as much as possible and
furthermore is discouraging starting
factories IN the east but rather en-
couraging that proposed factories to
handle government. work be started
in the middle west where help is not
so scarce and where there is not such
serious railroad congestion as in the
east.

say. and the only successful conclusion
from our viewpoint to this war Is that
Germany shall be completely con-
quered, and shall be compelled to sur
render Internationally.
"She has had a seven years war, q
ten years war, a thirty years war. She
has never in her history surrendered

Germany must be conquered. IL
Germany is permitted to continue her
career of rapine and of spoliation of
other nations. solely on theory that

to what extent Germany will extend
her power and build up her military
oligarchy to such an extent that no
free nation on earth could possibly
hope to compete with her."

Nothing on the face Of the earth
but unconditional surrender will con-
vince the German Of today that he is
not only unable but unfit to dominate
the earth. He has got to be conquered;
he has got to be brought to his knees

he will claim that he has been success
full. and there Is no telling what the re-
suit will be-"
These are the words OF Maj. Gen.
J. Franklin Bell, commander at Camp

utmost earnestness and vigor.
Germany is a nation which will stop
at nothing" he continued. and If this

Plan to Safeguard
Interests of Obstetrics
Approved by Premier

CORRESPONDENCE Associated Press.]
London, April pa plan to safe
guard the interest of Ulster by Civ
ing its representatives veto power
in the proposed new Irish parliament,
over measures which conflict with u
ster interests. has been characterized
by Premier Lloyd George as "a work
able eAped;ent." This fact has just
been disclosed by making public let
ter which the premier wrote to Sir
Horace Plunkett, chairman of the irish
convention Come time ago when the
convention became deadlocked over the
Ulster question and sent delegates to
confer with the premier in London.
"The government understand wrote
Mr. Lloyd George. that it has been
suggested that a safeguard OF Ulster
interests might be secured by provi-
sion of an Ulster committee within
the Irish parliament with power to
modify and if necessary. to exclude the
application to Ulster of certain meas
ures either of legislation or admins
tration which are not consonant with
the interests of Ulster. Thistappears
to be workable expedient, whereby
special consideration of Ulster condi-
tons can be secured and the objections
to the single legislature for Ireland
overcome"
Despite the premier's approval Of
this plan the Ulster Unionist delegates
to the Irish convention declined to par
ticipate in any scheme Of self govern
ment for Ireland.
Outlining broadly the views of the
British government on the Irish home
rule question, Premier Lloyd George
wrote to Sir Horace Plunkett as fol-
lows:
Questions Of which there is an
acute difference of opinion in Ireland
and Great Britain must be held over
for determination until after the war"
The premier considered the control of
the Irish customs and excise one of the
problems which must await the con-
clusion of peace. for he added:
"rhe government suggest that. dur
ing the period of the war and for the
period Of two years thereafter the con-
troll Of customs and excise should be
reserved to the United Kingdom par
lament: that as soon as possible after
the Irish parliament has been estabr
lished Joint eXchequer board should
be set up to secure the determine ton
of the true revenues of Ireland"
He explained to Sir Horace in the
letter, that 1t would be practically i'm
possible to make such disturbance
of the fiscal and financial relations of
Great Britain and Ireland in the midst
of the great war;" as would result in
an attempt to transfer to the Irish par
lament control of the Irish customs.
The government consider" wrote
the premier, that during the period of
the war the control Of all taxation 9TH
er than customs and excise should be
handed over to the Irish parliament"
but he stipulated that Ireland should
contribute an agreed proportion OF the
annual expenditure Of the United
Kingdom.
Main features Of the customs plan
approved by Mr.. Lloyd George, were
adopted in a majority report Of the
Irish convention. Whether they will
be put into effect depends upon the ac-
ton taken by the imperial parliament
on the Irish home rule bill.

London. May 13.-The army council,
having considered the explanation
rendered by Gen. Frederick B. Maurice,

brief statement from the war office. 1t

The retirement OF General Maurice
was fully expected. 1t is believed that
the army council has made it~imposeible
for him to write anything more re-
garding the controversy which he
brought to a climax. His side Of the
case, however has been circulated in
