Washington, April 49, Events on
the Western battle front are shaping
themselves officers here believe not
only 70 rdefeat OF the German drive
but for a caunter offensive by General
Fochs armies that may open the road
to an allied military victory
A wave Of optimism swept today
over not only American officials but
also the military men of the allied
missions in Washington.
The news from the battlefront was
distinctly cheering. The British lines
in hard stricken Flanders were hold
ing firmly. French reinforcements had
arrived there making practically Ger
tain that the German drive toward the
channel ports from that direction has
been defeated
At the same time official announce
ment came from Rome that Italian
troops were already pouring into
France to share in the crucial strug-
Gle there. This added to the optimism
for it means that the lighting men OF
France, Italy, Great Britain, Belgium,
Portugal. America and the Russian
units are being massed under one
leader for a mighty blow when the
time comes.
There were many indications today
OF increased pressure toward getting
American troops overseas in time to-
share fully in the battles this summer
upon which may rest the final issue.
Secretary Baker conferred for sew
eral hours with President Wilson. the
regular cabinet meeting being can
celled to clear the way for the con
ference which had to do with both i'm
mediate and future steps for aceel-
Grating American participation in the
struggle
1t was the first opportunity Mr..
Baker has made to present fully TO
the commander in chief his report on
his trip along the fighting lines and
give the President at first hand an
account of the mighty work General
Pershing and his officers have done
in France and are doing.
The war secretary was able to de-
tail to Mr.. Wilson all the steps that
led up to unflcation Of the allied and
the elevation of the great French SOL
dier, General Foch to the highest mil
itary command any man has ever held.
At his Office later Mr.. Baker was in
conference whit Lord Reading, British
ambassador. The subject of their con-
versation was not stated but it is
known to have concerned expediting|
the movement OF American troops to
the theater of war.
AS to plans for eXpediting war prep
arations on this side Mr.. Baker would
make no comment. lie said he was not
ready to make any announcement as
to the aviation program or organiza-
ton. The report has been current for
many days that William c. Potter nov
in charge of the signal corps produc-
tion, will be elevated to higher and
more authoritative post with similar
duties.
1t was rumored today too th'' rrorry
Ford might be selected to handle air
plane production much in the way that
Charles NJ. Schwab has been placed
in charge of shipbuilding.
From reports of the battle progress,
officers pointed to the appearance Of
French reinforcements in the north
ern sector of the Flanders lines as
indicating more. than a defensive
measure. The troops must have faced
hard days OF marching to reach their
post but It was said that had the
movement been only TO back up the
British lines, II would have been more

workers willy &C, busy soon after the
election results are Announced to ac-
quaint all legislators with the pro-
gram to ratify the national prohibitory
amendment.
1t is announced that Capt. Richmond
r. Hobson, Spanish American war
veteran and hero of the Merrimac, is
coming to Iowa under the auspices OF
the anti saloon league and will make
speeches in twenty different localities
curing the latter part of November
and early December. He will en-
phasizc the necessity for prohibition
during war times and will urge pro-
hibition for the nation.
There is little question but that the
Iowa legislature will ratify the prohibi-
tory anne ndment. There were very few
vets among the candidates for cleo
ton and dry workers following pr.m
airy day predicted with confidence that
the next legislature would ratify the
national prohibitory amendment.
Iowa legislators this year will also
pass on woman suffrage once more.
The woman suffrage amendment was
passed by the last general assembly
and must pass this next assembly be-
fore it can be submitted to vote of
the people. 1t is thought that it will:
win out again as it did two years ago
and the Iowa people will again have an
opportunity to vote on 1t as they did
ct the June primaries in 1916.
The movement to eradicate tuber-
culosis in cattle will again be stated
this winter and legislation to control
the disease thru examination and ac-
crediting of purebred herds will be
urged. This lost in the thirty seventh
largely because of the opposition of
farmer representatives and senators to
the. live stock interests.

YELLOW eAlMr AT MONROE.
Three EdiHess smsarsd BY unknown
Persons.

Newton, Nov. 6--Yellow paint was
used on three edifices at Monroe Mon
day night.
: The edifioes painted were the Mon
roe National Bank; y. n. Crumpack-
er's store and II. ", Gloyds residence,
While II is not known for sure, II Is
Thought that the painting was due TO
deferred classifications being granted
Crumpacker and Gloyd. Both arc
married men and were originally In
class I. and IL Is understood that one
time had been called for military
service. At that time the order was
sent out that married men with 'de-
pendcnts should be reclassified and
placed In class 2. which authorities
say was done, thruout the country.
Under the first ruling OF the war de-
partment there were many married
men taken for, service and later after
the new ruling was made men -under
the same conditions were placed In
class two. However, rumor has 1t
that this re,classification might pos
sibiy be the cause OF the yellow paint
at Monroe last night.
lnasmuch as Gloyd IL said, to he en-
ploycd in the Monroe National Bank,
IL Is thought that this might possibly
be the reason for painting the bank

one ankle being badly sprained and
the other one had the, bones broken.
He was carried to a dug out by the
Germans where the wounds were
bound and he was given cup of
coffee. Next came an interview by an
intelligence officer to whom he gave
no information. .,.
At a banquet given at the aviators'
headquarters he enjoyed a pleasant

to the hospital at Karlsruhe where
the bones of his ankle were set. One
bone not being right and his foot turn
