warning Against ksItsr.
While our valiant sons are nghtins

lawyers must see that American lib
erty II preserved In America When
the war against autocracy II over LET
US see that "Rultur" has not been
transpianted. and that ''verboten'
has not become too strongly imbed-
ded In our vocabulary.
The lawyers are the body TO which
the task Of guarding our institutions
against the dangers resultant from
war can be safely entrusted. The
press lacks training The reputabse
members Of that professions vast
majority-have, indeed. q code OF
ethics, but there is no controlling body
to discipline or punish those who vio-
late that code.
The clergy are not ftted for such
guard duty. either by training or by
the nature OF their sacred work.
The lessons Of history prove that

Tasks for LawyerS
All the arguments in favor OF q pre-.
paredness which insures safety from
attack by providing power TO resent
IL will be perverted 10 the destruc-
ton Of the constitutional guarantees
under which. and under God. this
great free nation has been builded. To
guard the cornerstones Of the founda-
tions Of liberty, TO keep bright the
beacon fires OF liberty, to perpetuate
the precepts of liberty, and to keep
the love OF liberty alive in the hearts
Of the people-these are fitting tasks
for the lawyer in war.
Lawyers have found some places
for active service. More than SOD
OF them assisted men of draft age
to answer the questionnaires pro-
pounded under the last selective serv-
ice regulation. The entire bar OF
the United States has placed itself
at the disposal OF our fighting men
and their families TO protect them
in their rights Of person and prop
erty. These services have been per-
formed and are being performed VOL
UNFAIRLY and without thought Of that
fee which the vulgar attribute AZ
the first thought OF a lawyer.
Some things have resulted from war
which we want TO keep. We should
never let our great transportation
system slip back into the competitive
stage. Lawyers realize that there is
no more excuse for competitions be-
tween railroads than between other
public highways.
The crude political economy
which permitted competition as a
means OF regulation had only been
partly abandoned prior to the taxi

measure. The logical force OF reg
ulation was not fully recognized,

The first appearance of Jack the

him aside and he made his escape.
Police authorities were given good

Again on Sunday the mysterious

by the man about $3.50 o'clock at night
Her screams frightened the man away

BAGS A SUB CD
Ed Malone, Who Made His Home
With Mr.. and Mrs. p. T. Finn,
In An Exciting Chase.
SHIP HAD A MARROW ESCAPE
Chief Gunner Malone Directs the Shot
That Checked the Career Of
the Sea Terror.

Ed Malone, who made his home with
Mr. and Mrs. p. T. Finn in this city
and who enlisted last year in the
navy, is chief gunner on the Ameri.
can steamer Tidewater and if reports
are correct he helped to bag Ger.
man submarine on March 18th.
The government report on the at.
tack is as follows:
"The commander of the armed guard
on the steamer Tidewater reports to
the navy department that on March
18th about IL 80 p. nj. a submarine
was sighted off the starboard bow,
heading toward the vessel, about $50
yards off. AS the ship turned it miss
cd the submarine by not more than
20 feet. The U boat was then sub
merging. The ships guns were brought
to bear and the first shot hit some dis
lance ahead of her wake.
'The pointer fired the second shot
and had what the captain. the chief
engineer and myself and other mem.
bers of the crew called clean hit and
was satisfied it yas effective. The
third shot was fired by the boatswain's
mate in charge of the after gun crew,
having her spotted and firing in the
position in which she last submerged.
We resumed our course and COM
menced zigzagging standing by for
an attack. but the submarine did not
appear again. We made all prepare.
tions for an attack at daybreak. but
there were no signs of the subma-
rine."
Denison friends of Malone are elat-
ed over the report and believe that as
chief gunner he directed the shot
that probably sent this p.unger to .
watery grave. ~

Crawford county failed to raise its

Sears McHenry, the chairman of the
drive in this county, reports to the
Review that many OF the townships
have as yet failed to turn in their ap-
plication blanks so it is impossible to
give the results of the campaign at
this time. The fact that farmers
throughout the county have been en-.
gagged in the planting OF corn for the

the failure of the drive. In some town.

2 Mr.. McHenry has instructed the Re-
view to announce that the campaign
will be. continued in this county until
the quota is raised and he feels conf
dent that the entire amount will be
subscribed within the next week or ten
days. On Monday Mr.. McHenry re-
ceived a telegram from Homer A. Mill

of the campaign in Iowa, stating that
the drive i'll Iowa will be continued for
another week or until Saturday, May
18th. This is the telegram sent out
by Mr.. Miller: Treasury department

Few counties of the state have reach

is that the War Savings stamp cam
paign followed too close on the heels
of the third Liberty bond drive, but
that the state will be able to reach it's
quota by the 18th. Here in Crawford
every effort will be made to have the
county live up to it's reputation on war

SUICIDE OF WELL
KNOWN FARMER
John n. Stamner, Of Iowa Township,
Takes Dose Of Strychnine
and Ends His Life.
NO REASON GIVEN FOR THE ACT
Deceased Was Highly Respected, a
Graduate Of Denison Normal COL
Representatives, Mourn.

John H. Stammer, prominent farmer
residing in Iowa township, committed
suicide Friday morning by taking a
quantity of strychnine poison while
out in the field. Mr.. Stammer arose
early Friday morning and members of
the family believed him to be in his
usual good spirits. He inquired Of his
wife what time dinner would be ready,
stating that he was going to plant corn
and did not want to delay his work
any more than possible. His wife had
dinner prepared by ~ o'clock and at
ter waiting considerable time went out
to the field to call him and was horri-
fed to find him dead near the planter.
A note addressed to his wife was found
attached to the planter. but this gave
no reason for the rash act. Residents
Of Iowa township were shocked to
learn of the death of Mr.. Stammer who
was one Of the most prominent men
in that locality. He was the chairman
of the defense council of Iowa township
and was ever loyal and patriotic citi-
zen. For the past fifteen years he
held the Office Of township clerk.
John Henry Stammer was born Jan.
%, 1876. in Clinton county, Iowa, and
when youth accompanied his parents
to Crawford county. where he has since
resided. He appreciated the benefits
Of good education and after complet-
ing his studies in the rural school at
tended high school and later took a
business course at the Denison col
lege. On May 3, 1904, he was united
in marriage to Anna Heickson, of AS
pinwall and this happy union was
blessed with two children. For four
years Mr.. Stammer was engaged in the
grain and lumber business at Aspin-

CRAWF0RD'S

While Local Board Has Not Received
Orders, It 10 Understood Craw.
ford'S Next Draw is 81.
BOARD EXPECTS A. GALL SOON
Making Plans for Registration Of the
Men Who Have Reached 81
Since June S, 1917.

While the Crawford county exemp.
ton board has not received any or
ders for the. mobilization of the next
increment. Tuesdays Des Moines Reg
lister gives this county's quota as 81
men. According to the quotas figured
out by Adiutant General Guy E. Lo.
gan. Iowa must sent 1854 men to
Camp Dodge during the five day period
commencing May 25th. The local
board anticipates a call some time
this week for this increment, when
notices will be mailed the men who
will make up this county's quota.
The local board is already making
plans for the registration of the young
men who have reached the age of 81
since June 5th OF last year. Congress
is taking final steps toward the com.
pletion of legislation. amending the
selective service law 1t is under.
stood that the men will be placed at
the bottom of the various classes and
will not be called into service until
after those who registered last year.
The Crawford county board has al
ready received some instructions
for the registration which will be held
June 5th. While it has not been def
nitely decided it is probable that men
subject to registration will be required
to COME to Denison to register. Cues
will be given the registrants
and they wilk be given five days in
which to fill them out and return to
the local board. The classification of
the registrapts will then proceed
much in the same manner as was fol-
lowed out last winter.
Members Of the board have no idea
as to the number Of men in this coun-
ty who are subject to registration.
