rRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIre1

DIES MONIES, Ia., Mar. 1.-Major General E. H. Hummer, commander of the eighty eighth national army di- vision at Camp Docge, who was re- ferred to in the correspondence intro- duced in the Heney meat packing in- vestigation at Chicago today, tonight said that there was nothing out of the ordinary in his dealings with the com pany, and that the exclusive conces- sion' which Armour & Co. was granted at Camp Dodge consisted of the es- tablishment by them of small branch at Camp Dodge at his request.
 The reference in the testimony to his being supplied with box of toilet ar ticles by Armour & Co.,, grew out. he said, of the fact that an Armour rep resentative overheard his aide demand i ing a certain brand of shaving cream made by that firm, at Des Moines drug store.
 The representative suggested to his home office that it would be a good advertisement to send General Plum- mer box of samples and this was l done.
 'The letter in which I am quoted as expressing my loyalty to Armour & Co. was written in a jocular vein ir response to a communication which they sent me telling of the drug store incident, and asking me if the samples had arrived" said General Hummer.

Neyland and Texas Ranger Joe Mullans tonight as they were walking along the river bank near the international bridge. One bull let struck at their feet and threw dust on their boots.

As far as could be ascer- tained no one was hit
 An American coming from Juarez saw 25 federal soldiers marching double time to the Mexican end of the bridge. American patrol troops were deployed along the river front and a few shots were exchanged, then the firing ceased. The Mexi- can snipers were believed to have retired under cover of darkness.
 The shooting caused a panic at the bridge as it occurred at the rush hour when hundreds of Mexicans were re- 1 turning to JuareZ from their work in Fl Paso. They sought shelter in near by houses and along the railroad em- bankment which parallels the river Extra patrols were put on the river front tonight to return any shots fired

 WASHINGTON, Mar 1.-The de- partment of labor today refused to de- port Count James Minotto son. law of Louis Swift, the Chicago packer, on charges preferred by the director of naval intelligence. but because of sus- picions aroused by his German birth and associations, dismissal of the ar rest warrant was potponed until the department of justice decides whether the count should be interned as an en- emy alien.
 Pending action by the attorney gen. eral, the count will remain at liberty on $5O,O00 bail furnished by his father in Jaw.
 Claims Italian Citizenship
 Minotto. who claims Italian citizen ship and has taken out first papers for American naturalization. was arrested under authority of the immigration act of 1917, the warrant alleging that he was likely to become a public charge at the time of his entry into the United States Because he was well supplied With money, was a law abiding citizen as regards civil statutes and came to the United States before this country was belligerent the department held that the only basis for deportation Nouiu bc lo prove all intention to ElO- late the neutrality laws.
 Not Enough to Sustain
 None of the suspicious upon which thls proceeding rests,' the decision says, lis sufficiently supported by proof to sustain a warrant of deporta tion under the immigration law, inas- much however as suspicious have been aroused, as the country would be ex- posed to danger if those suspicious were true, and as the alien a German by birth, has lived in Germany from birth to majority and never been for mally naturalized in any other country prudence might dictate internment as an alien enemy"
 Dismissal of the arrest warrant was recommended by the examiner who in vestlgated the case and by the inspec. tor in charge at Chicago

Since the close of the Third Liberty Loan in the spring. the armies of the Allies have been sweeping the Hun back towards the Rhine, and unusual success has marked the first appearance Of the Amer ican armles on the Western Front. Nearly two million men are now in France, another mil lion is in training, while thirteen million more loyal Americans have ve-recently registered for mil itary service.

They must be clothed and fed. The quicker the money is raised and supplies and munitions fur nished. the quicker the struggle will be over.

Township Committees have been named, both for the men and the women, and published in the county pa pers. Will you not join in this great campaign and volunteer for worker for just two days? At all events. will you not go to your nearest committeeman and subscribe lioerally to this loan? By so doing, you will tighten the burden of the committee. Every man and woman is called upon to do their part
 The Liberty Loan Organization appreciates the fact that liberal subscriptions have been made in the past, but the Government is now in it's greatest need for ready cash. Without money, the war cannot be won. The quick CT that money is put up, the quicker the war will be oyer. Our young men are sacrificing their lives for the cause of free dom and Democracy. Will we not gladly loan our money to our Government in these perilous times? Every dollar will come back to us with interest.

American First Army Makes At- tack on Both Sides of St.
 MihieI Salient.
HUN ARMY MAY BE TRAPPED
Many Towns and Prisoners Taken Foch May Be Aiming at Metz Germans in Picardy Trying to Halt Retreat Approximately
 on Hindenburq Line
By EDWARD w. PACKARD.

The American First army. General Pesshing commanding, started the first great wholly American offensive Thursday. attacking on both sides of the St. Mihiel salient southeast of YerdGn. The French assisted by at tacking on the point of the salient, but the operation was planned by the American staff and executed by Amer ican officers and troops.
 After terrific artillery preparation which for four hours smothered the entire region within the German lines with shells, the Tanks went over the top exactly at five o'clock, following a rolling barrage timed for an ad vance of 100 meters every 40 minutes. Great numbers of tanks supported them and cleared the way by crushing numerous concrete machine gun shel- ters and breaking down the elaborate wire defenses. American aviators in flocks quickly drove away the few Hun airmen in sight and thereafter del uged the enemy supply centers, mu- milton dumps and hangars with bombs, while the observation planes directed the work of the artillery Everything moved like clockwork and the troops speedily gained their obs iectives and went on to the next ones. Village after village was taken and by Friday the cavalry had advanced far into the center of the salient and occupied strong positions, At the time of writing the drive was progress ing steadily and the Germans were in danger of finding their retreat from the big wedge entirely cut off. Hun dreds of prisoners were taken. The St. Mihiel salient had been held by the Huns ever since 1914 and was very strongly fortified. Its base is to- ward the German stronghold of Metz and it may be that the drive is direct ed against that city. However, Mar shal Foch's strategy had not been re- vealed when this was written.
