HUN VIOLATES
RUSS TRUCE

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29-Charges
that Germany is violating the terms
of the Russian truce by withdrawing
troops from the eastern front and
transferring them to the western bat
tie lines, were made today by the war
department.
The war department made this
statement:
"The general staff of the United
States army announces that the Ger
man military authorities are evading
those terms of the Russian truce
which provided that German troops
we're not to be Withdrawn from the
eastern front for use in the west, dur
ing the peace negotiations. German
troops on the Russian front are being
allowed to go home on furlough.
These soldiers are then transferred to
recruiting stations and sent to the
western front.
''The troops are taken in this way,
man by man, for two reasons-first,
because 1t deceives the Russians. and,
secondly, because the eastern troops
have been so influenced by the Rus
sian revolutionary propaganda that
the German military chiefs have de-
cided to separate the men and scat
ter them In unaffected western regi-
ments."

Crocodile Tactics of Hans Kohl
Are Attacked by Mayors Wife

Hast thou a word or wit or impu-
dence that yet can do thee Officer"
(Measure for Measure)
It it were not for the issue involved
which overshadows every personal
consideration, l would answer Mr.
Kohl in his own vein. but indulging in
mutual recriminations will not furth-
er justice nor aid in stamping out pro-
German sentiment or uncovering
false pretensions.
Mr.. Koll's political ambitions and
platform hold the same menace as
that of his Infamous countryman, Mr.
Bernstorff, who used his political po.
sition to exploit sedition, but If Mr.
Kohl expects any support by present
ing to this county the brand Of con-
science he has offered for public in
spection, do not hesitate to say that
he will doubtless get his own vote and
that Of his German friends whose sin
cerity is OF the same brand as his
own.
Mr.. Kolls platform, "A better un-
derstanding among all nations after
the war, is especially significant, not
that 1t contains anything we Ameri-
cans do not already know, but be-
cause it will be such a boomerang

PAN-CERMANISM
CAMOUFLAGED

Dear Editor:
/ am going to ask you to allow me
the privilege of stating for the benefit
OF Hans Kohl, that I, for one, see
through his camouflaged reply to Mrs
Zimmerman a few days ago. l see
through his hidden prophecy Of ulti-
mate German victory; his fond hope
of Pan-Germanism being realized.
Are we to sit idly by and have this
impudence, effrontery imposed upon
us? If Hans Kohl does not believe in
the ultimate victory of Germany
that Pan-Germanism will not domi-
nate the earth, that all loyal Germans
will not receive high seats OF honor,
how in the world does Hans Kohl ex-
pect to receive sufficient encourage
ment from his friends to run for
congress? Certainly at this time, a
prospective Congressman's loyalty to
America must not be questioned, un-
wise criticisms of what decent people
call the fiends OF hell turned loose in
the northern part OF France, do not
lead to Congress. Hans Kohl, forget
the Pan-American dream. We have
our eyes upon you.
One hundred pair Of eyes.

MEAT FOOD PRICE
BOOST PROHIBITED

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 29.-Antici
pating a shortage Of fresh meat. due
to a shortage of transportation facil
tiles, Dr. Harry e. Barnard, Federal
Food Administrator for Indiana, to-
day issued orders to County Food Ad
ministrators to permit no advances in
meat prices.
Meat packers, DR.. Barnard says
will be prohibited to increase prices
to retailers, by the federal food admin
istration.
Dr. Barnard quotes the Washington
food officials as authority for the
statement that unless conditions in
Indiana are peculiar there will be lit
tie, if any increase in the prices OF
live stock or the cost Of production OF
meat during the near future and any
material advance in the price Of meat
is therefore unreasonable"

PUT EN- ALL

J. n. HURTY

Sterilization for the socially unfit is
recommended by DR.. J. N. Hurry, sec
retary Of the state board of health,
who spoke before the Richmond Ro-
try club Tuesday.
DR.. Hurty's father was the first su.
perintendent of Richmond's schools
Every physically and morally fit
man ought be conscripted for army
service Dr. Hurry says. The unfit,
those unfit socially but not because
Of PHYSICAL defects. should be thor.
oughly and scientifically examined
and where 1t is shown that the man is
unfit socially the right to reproduce
should be taken from him.
Service in the army trains a man
physically mentally and morally. and
tends to elevate the race and make for
better and healthier children" DR..
Hurry said.
Besides this, II makes nation
united to defend the land when called
upon" he continued. Had this been
done in the past the United States
today would not be facing such seri.

declared. Every child has the in.
alienable right to be born with good
blood in it's veins and arteries. Then
every child has the inalienable right
to be reared correctly to a certain

Halt Million Damage
Caused by Explosion

MARQUETTE, Mich, Jan. 29.-An
explosion followed by a fire early to-
day which destroyed the alcohol re-
fining plant, the primary building and
a series of condensers Of the Pioneer
Iron Furnace company, owned by the
Cleveland Cliffs Iron company. Of
Cleveland, caused damages estimated
at 100000.
First reports Of the explosion said a
number Of lives had been lost, but at
daylight it was believed there was no
loss Of life and that only two men had
been injured, although the casualty
list cannot be definitely determined
until the company rolls have been
checked over.
For a time the fire threatened to
destroy the entire plant, a portion of
which is employed in manufacturing
alcohol and the ground chemicals OF
explosives for the United States and
allied governments but after a two
hours fight the flames we're brought
under control by the Marquette and
the plant fire departments. The plant
which covers several acres of ground
is situated one and half miles frop
this city. >
The police believe that the explos-
ion was caused by an incendfary but
the officials Of the company declined
to express an opinion as to the cause.
