THE GERMAN "SUPERNIEN,.
The Kaiser's Motto to Keen the
World i'm Doubt and Stimulate
Fear,

A good idea of the sbsession that
has seized hold of the German peo-
pie was given the other day in lee
ture at Chicago by Professor w. H.
Schofield of Harvard university. He
has met and talked intimately with
Kaiser William. The Kaiser's mot
to, as expressed to him was, Keep
the world in doubt and stimulate
fear. Keep the nations uneasy and
make them afraid, so that Germany
may have her will. which is the
will of the almighty
One of our navy lecturers who has
travelled widely brings home the
same idea. He quoted a German
woman as having said to him.. You
have no doubt that it is legitimate
for you to eat the flesh and wear
the skin of lower animals. Similarly
we Germans, being supermen, have
the right to make the other races of
mankind subject to us and serve
our need We have the right to use
your flesh and your hide if need be.
1t is our duty. You are only men,
We are supermen. AS we have a
higher civilization to impart to the
world, it is our duty to impart il by
force If necessary"
This idea, held at first only by
the philosophers, has sunk to the
bottom of the German consciousness.
The German people have gone era
zy over it. 1t possesses their souls,
and arms them with courage for the
battle. There can be no peace in
the world while nation exists with
these mad ideas.
Fortunately their military achieve
ments do not indicate any supermap-
nishness. What they got they took
by breaking treaties, by military
preparation long in advance, and by
treacherous lies. When they NEE,
an equal number of Englishmen OF
Frenchmen on even terms, they nev-
er gain any ground. They lose it
1t is a fair guess that they will
yield ground to an equal number OF
Americans. Before we quit, they
have got to get this lunatic notion
out of their heads.

More than 200 Iowa coal dealers
went over the coal situation at a
meeting held at the state house
Wednesday and discussed plans to
meet the unusual conditions which
it is now apparent will prevail dur
ing the coming winter.
Points emphasized by Fuel Com
missioner Webster in outlining con-
ditions follow:
There will be no cut in the price
of coal. Federal Fuel Head Gar
field has sent out word to this eff
feet.
Iowa may possibly get as much
hard coal this coming season as
was consumed here in the winter
of 1861, but this is by no means
assured
Right now railroad equipment on
eastern coal districts which are do
| ing considerable business is so per
lC6HI leSo Illdu IOi NAL
Iowa must produce from 1900
600 to 100000 tons more coal
next season than last to make UP
for the shutting out of eastern coal.
Iowa people must store coal or
provide their fuel supply this sum
mer, as the state is facing serious
fuel famine next winter.
Il want to tell you that unless
something unexpected turns up we
will have a coal shortage this win
ter far worse than anything we ex-
perienced this past winter" de-
cSared Commissioner Webster in
addressing the dealers.
I'm my opinion a summer price
on Iowa coal should have been given
but l have received word from Gar
field that there will be no cut in
price"
The Iowa dealers are urged to
lay in their stocks of coal this sum
mer and to urge their customers to
do likewise. -g
In Des Moines, where coal sold
the latter part OF this last winter
at 1915 per ton, operators and dea-
| lers are now talking of boosting the
price to 1925 per ton. One year
ago at this time coal was retailing
in Des Moines at $4.75 per ton.
The fuel committee of Winneshiek
county is putting forth their best
efforts to have people lay in their
winters supply of coal.

Chicago Trbune Men in Khaki OF
Blue.

CblCdSO IHDune Men III maxi Of
Blue.
The Tribune publishes today a
list of the employees of the tribune
who now wear the khaki of the
American army or the blue of the
navy.
/ The Tribune is very proud of that
list. We do not think there is
its equal among all the newspapers
in the United States. We may not
have double the number of repre-
sentatives of any other newspaper
but we are confident we have a
long lead on any other.
To begin with, no other news
paper in the country has given to
the military service it's executive
chiefs. That is what the Tribune
has done. Robert r. Mccormick,
president and treasurer of the Tri-
| bune company, is major of the
Fifth Field Artillery, and for weeks
has been Smelling the German tcrc.
es in a sector which has seen hard
fighting lately. Joseph MedillPat-
terson, chairman of the board and
first vice president of the Tribune
company, is in command of B bat
terry Of the One Hundred and Forty
ninth Field artillery of the Rain
bow division, now fighting on an
other sector of the front.
Maj Mccormick and Lieut.. Pat
terson are the editors in chief and
publishers, the active executive
and editorial heads of The Tribune,
on leave of absence for the active
service on which they are engaged.
If this newspaper has preached
patriotism, self-sacrifice, loyalty,
and full blooded Americanism to
the American people, it has also Of
fered the highest pledge a leader
of opinion can give of it's sincerity
and consistency. What The Tribune
has preached those who directed it's
policies are putting into practice.
And The Tribune force has fol-
lowed the example. The Tribune's
war correspondent and military ex-
pert, Col. Henry ]. Reilly, son of
the gallant American officer, Capt
Reilly. who fell at Gen. Chaffee's
side in the capture of Pekin, during
the Boxer rebellion, is in command
of the One Hundred and Forty
ninth Field artillery, which is ac-
quitting itself with honor on the
fighting front in France. And there
are 154 other Tribune men from
all departments in all branches of
the military and naval services.
The Tribune is proud of this re-
cord, which we believe to be un-
matched in this country. The Tri-
bune is proud of the men who have
offered themselves in pledge of the
principals for which The Tribune
has stood for three generations

Tough and German.

During 1917 there died in Ger
many 100000 more men than
women-Germans, mind you!-be-
tween the ages of SO and 70 than
died during the year before, which
in turn showed a higher mortality
rate among the aged than any pre-
war year.
That is not remarkable. The
best food and the most Of it goes
to the soldiers and to the ruling
classes, The aged poor live on
near-food, and little of that.
But the remarkable thing in con-
nection with the above statistics is
the statement made. by high Ger

"It proves that every day the Ger

NO SUBSTITUTE FOR BUTTER.
Ames Head Says Poor Economy ia
Use OleOmargarine.

Ames, Ia, May 13.-"In the long
run it will be false economy for
Iowa housewives to use substitutes
in place OF BUTTER" says NJ. Nor
Jensen, head of the dairy depart
ment at Iowa State college.
There is no real substitute for
butter fat as food and as a build
er of human health and strength.
"Dr. V. E. McCollum of Johns
Hopkins university, who is in Iowa
this week on speaking tour, has
proved that butter fat contains an
element which he calls Soluble A
growth and health. This substance,
he also says, is not found in the
fats from which oleomargarine is
made. Children who are deprived
of butter fat become afflicted with
eye troubles and otherwise show
that they are not being supplied
with an important food material.
Housewives who exclude butter
from their tables are taking serious
chances, especially with growing
boys and girls.
This other fact is worth con-
sidering, also," adds Mr.. Morten-
sen. every time housewife uses
butter substitute she strikes hard
at Iowa's greatest industries-the
dairy industry. Already that in
dustry has suffered and in every
dairying community farmers are
reducing the number of their cows"

AN EXCITING CHASE
Of Bootlegger Leads to Cap
ture of Car and Twelve
Cases of Booze

Deputy Sheriff's Joseph Layton
and Alb Stevens had a thrilling
experience early Monday morning
chasing a bootlegger, who they
ran into near the Solomonville de-
pot while out scouting for gentry
who peddle the forbidden juice.
1t was about 200 a. M, when
the officers, who were returning
here, run across the strange car,
and as they came nearer, the
driver put on full speed, con-
vincing the officers they were on
hot trail.
The fellow swung out at full
speed. running north of Solo
monville depot, and just as he
neared the San Simon bridge, he
ran into calf, whose body got
entangled with the gearing un-
der the car, the driver losing
control and the car taking a
header for the ditch after break
ing cedar post and cutting
through the barb wire fence.
When the car landed in the
ditch the driver jumped out and
made off. The officers searched
for some distance from the auto,
but were unable to find their
man and returned to the car.
Searching the car, they found
twelve cases of booze and a camp
ing outfit, including a shaving
set.
The car, an eight-cylinder Olds-
mobile, was not damaged much,
considering it's wild career, the
officers finding that the connect
ing rod and the universal joint
were broken and the bumper
badly bent.
The car was brought here and
its contents placed in the booze
receiving vault in the basement
I of the court house.
Monday, about noon, Sheriff
Stewart noticed a man in the act
of getting on the northbound
freight train east of town, and
a closer investigation convinced
the sheriff that the man an
hswered the description of the
missing bootlegger. He arrested
the man and brought him to the
court house, where the man ac-
knowledged he was the person
the officers were looking for, and
gave his name as Charles E.
Lind, of Globe.
Tuesday morning, Lind was
arraigned before Judge McAlister
and was ordered held for trial in
the Superior Court. Bonds were
placed at $500, but so far Lind is
still a boarder at the Hotel Stew
art.
The automobile will probably
be confscated under the new law
! which provides for the confisca-
tion of all vehicles used to trans
port whiskey into the State.

THE PEACE We WANT

The Stars and Stripes, the Of
fetal newspaper published by
the soldiers of the American Ex-
peditionary Forces in France,
says editorially about the enemy
peace offensive:
LET the weak-hearted who
are dreaming of compromise;
let the pacifsts who are talking
a peace by agreement; let the
sideliners who have had enough
of war; let the secretly inclined
pro- o-Germans who think this war
should end without a decision
let them one and all know once
and for all that for the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Force there is
no such word as Peace with the
Huns unbeaten. The man who
talks of peace today, except thru
victory, is a traitor.
The enemy peace offensive is
likened to the action of German
machine-gun crews in the Vesle
fighting. when they fought and
killed Americans until they were
surrounded. then shouted Kan
erad."
The mothers of the American
soldiers in France want the same
peace their sons demand. All
the courage Of the ancient Spar
tan mother is in the hearts of
the women of America.
The object of the Fourth Lib
erty Loan is to bring that peace
"a just peace, a righteous peace,
an American peace.
